STANDBY STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STANDBY STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is dated as of October 5, 2018, by and among APEX HOLDCO L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Standby Purchaser”), VERICITY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“HoldCo”), MEMBERS MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY, an Illinois mutual insurance holding company (“Members Mutual”), and solely with respect to Section 1.4(e)(iii), Fidelity Life Association, an Illinois legal reserve life insurance company (“Fidelity Life”). Any capitalized term used and not immediately defined is defined in Section 9.12 of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Members Mutual (the “Members Mutual Board”) has adopted a Plan of Conversion (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan of Conversion”) attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which Members Mutual will convert from an Illinois domiciled mutual holding company to an Illinois domiciled stock company pursuant to Section 59.1 of the Illinois Insurance Code (the “Conversion”), and immediately following the Conversion Members Mutual will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo;

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, HoldCo and Members Mutual intend for the Conversion to qualify as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code (as defined below), and have each adopted the Conversion as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g);

WHEREAS, a special meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Special Meeting”) of the Eligible Members of Members Mutual will be held to approve the Plan of Conversion and the Members Mutual Restated Articles, both of which must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the Special Meeting (the “Eligible Member Approval”);

WHEREAS, as part of the Conversion, HoldCo will offer for sale between 14,875,000 shares (the “Offering Minimum”) of common stock of HoldCo, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 20,125,000 shares (the “Offering Maximum” ) of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Subscription Price”) on a priority basis to Eligible Members of Members Mutual and the directors and officers of Members Mutual in the Subscription Offering in accordance with the Plan of Conversion;

WHEREAS, if the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for in the Subscription Offering is less than the Offering Minimum, the Standby Purchaser is willing to purchase from HoldCo the number of shares of Common Stock that, together with the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for in the Subscription Offering, equals the Offering Minimum, and may purchase such number of additional shares up to the Offering Maximum, which such additional shares may permit the Standby Purchaser to acquire up to a majority of the shares of Common Stock sold (such offering of shares of Common Stock to the Standby Purchaser, the “Standby Offering”, and together with the Subscription Offering, the “Offerings”);

WHEREAS, promptly after the execution of this Agreement, HoldCo intends to confidentially submit a registration statement on Form S-1 (as the same may be amended, the “Registration Statement”) to the SEC to register the shares to be offered in the Subscription Offering;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to HoldCo’s and Members Mutual’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ L.P. (“Fund IV”), an Affiliate of the Standby Purchaser, has entered into a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, pursuant to which Fund IV will guarantee the payment of all obligations (including any payment due for damages) of the Standby Purchaser under this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Standby Purchaser and certain members of the board and management of Members Mutual have entered into an equity incentive plan arrangement that will become effective upon the Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1. Standby Purchase Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Standby Purchaser agrees to purchase from HoldCo, at the Subscription Price, the number of shares of Common Stock of HoldCo equal to the difference between (i) the Offering Minimum and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for in the Subscription Offering (the “Mandatory Standby Shares”).

(b) If the Initial Standby Ownership Percentage is equal to or less than 50%, the Standby Purchaser shall have the option to purchase such number of additional shares of Common Stock at the Subscription Price (the “Optional Standby Shares”, and together with the Mandatory Standby Shares, the “Standby Shares”), such that the Final Standby Ownership Percentage is equal to or less than 51%; provided, however, that in no event may the Standby Purchaser purchase a number of shares of Common Stock that, together with the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Subscription Offering, would exceed the Offering Maximum. As used herein, the “Initial Standby Ownership Percentage” shall mean the quotient, (i) the numerator of which equals the number of Mandatory Standby Shares and (ii) the denominator of which equals the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock of HoldCo subscribed for in the Subscription Offering, and plus (y) the number of Mandatory Standby Shares; and the “Final Standby Ownership Percentage” shall mean a quotient, (i) the numerator of which equals the number of Standby Shares and (ii) the denominator of which equals the sum of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock of HoldCo subscribed for in the Subscription Offering, and plus (B) the number of Standby Shares.

(c) If the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for by Eligible Members and the directors and officers of Members Mutual in the Subscription Offering is equal to or greater than the Offering Minimum, the Standby Purchaser may purchase a number of shares of Common Stock (if any) that, together with the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Subscription Offering, would not exceed the Offering Maximum.

Section 1.2. Issuance of Members Mutual Shares to HoldCo. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan of Conversion and this Agreement, immediately after the Plan becomes effective on the Effective Date, Converted Members Mutual shall issue to HoldCo 1,000 shares of Converted Members Mutual’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share, which shall constitute all of the authorized shares of capital stock of Converted Members Mutual.

Section 1.3. Closing.

(a) The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement , including the purchase of the Standby Shares by the Standby Purchaser, shall take place (i) at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ Lord LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m., Central time, as soon as possible after, and in any event within three Business Days of, the date on which the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement, or (ii) at such other place and time and/or on such other date as the parties hereto may mutually agree in writing.

(b) At least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the Special Meeting, the Standby Purchaser shall deposit with the escrow agent (as identified in the Registration Statement) (the “Escrow Agent”), for the benefit of HoldCo and Members Mutual, sufficient funds in cash to pay for the Purchase Price at the Closing (the “Escrow Fund”).

(c) At the Closing (i) HoldCo shall issue and sell to the Standby Purchaser, and the Standby Purchaser shall purchase from HoldCo, the number of Standby Shares determined in accordance with Section 1.1 at the Subscription Price (the aggregate amount of such purchase price, the “Purchase Price”), and (ii) HoldCo shall issue to the Standby Purchaser the Standby Shares represented by certificates or in book entry form against delivery to HoldCo by the Escrow Agent of the Purchase Price therefor from the Escrow Fund in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by HoldCo in writing prior to the Closing.

Section 1.4. Post-Closing Governance Matters.

(a) On or prior to the Effective Date, HoldCo shall cause the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of HoldCo (the “Restated Articles”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which shall be effective until thereafter altered, amended or repealed.

(b) On or prior to the Effective Date, HoldCo shall cause the Amended and Restated Bylaws of HoldCo in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Restated Bylaws”) to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors of HoldCo (the “HoldCo Board”), which shall be effective only upon the Closing and until thereafter altered, amended or repealed.

(c) The Restated Bylaws shall provide for, among other things, the following board composition mechanisms during the Standstill Period:

(i) the HoldCo Board shall consist of the Standby Purchaser Designees and the Company Designees, it being understood that the number of Company Designees shall not exceed six (6), nor at any time be less than two (2), and that the number of Standby Purchaser Designees at any given time shall be one (1) more than the number of Company Designees, but in no event less than three (3); provided, that the Standby Purchaser shall have the right to remove any Standby Purchaser Designee at any time with or without Cause; provided, further, that if among the Company Designees and the Standby Purchaser Designees there are insufficient independent directors available to satisfy the independence requirements under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the number of independent directors required to serve on the board of directors or any committee thereof, the Standby Purchaser shall have the right to designate the minimum number of additional directors necessary to satisfy such applicable independence requirements; provided, further, that while the Standby Purchaser shall have the right to designate such additional directors and their successors or replacements, such additional directors shall not be deemed to be Standby Purchaser Designees under this Agreement.

(ii) “Standby Purchaser Designees” shall mean the individuals designated by the Standby Purchaser and identified as such in the Registration Statement, one of whom shall be the chairman of the HoldCo Board;

(iii) “Company Designees” shall mean the individuals designated by Members Mutual and identified as such in the Registration Statement, one of whom shall be the Chief Executive Officer of HoldCo;

(vii) at any election of directors of HoldCo, a majority of the Standby Purchaser Designees shall have the right to nominate the successors of the Standby Purchaser Designees (and as applicable such additional directors as provided in Section 1.4(c)(i) above), and a majority of the Company Designees shall have the right to nominate the successors of the Company Designees, in each case for election or reelection to the HoldCo Board; and

(B) members of the Advisory Board shall serve until the Advisory Board Termination Date or their earlier death, retirement or resignation. Only those individuals who were directors of Members Mutual as of the date hereof shall be eligible to serve on the Advisory Board. The initial members of the Advisory Board shall be designated by Members Mutual. Upon a Company Designee’s resignation or retirement from the HoldCo Board prior to the Advisory Board Termination Date, a Company Designee may, effective upon notice to HoldCo, become a member of the Advisory Board and shall serve until the Advisory Board Termination Date or such member’s earlier death, resignation, or removal for Cause;

(C) in the event that there are no Company Designees then serving on the HoldCo Board to designate replacement Company Designees pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(vi) or to nominate Company Designees pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(vii), the Advisory Board shall have the right, by majority vote, to designate or nominate such Company Designees; and

(D) members of the Advisory Board shall be entitled to the same compensation and expense reimbursement as the Company Designees receive for serving on the Holdco Board, and separate rights to third-party indemnification and advancement of expenses for service on the Advisory Board; and

(i) the Standby Purchaser shall not Vote its Shares to (A) remove or seek to remove any Company Designee without either (x) the consent of a majority of the Company Designees or (y) for Cause or (B) approve or seek to approve a Material Amendment to the Restated Articles or the Restated Bylaws unless such Material Amendment has been approved and recommended by a majority of the Company Designees; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.4(e)(i) shall be deemed to prevent the Standby Purchaser from Voting its Shares in favor of the Sale of the Company to a Third Party Purchaser;

(ii) the Standby Purchaser shall Vote its Shares as directed or recommended by a majority of the Company Designees (or, if there are no Company Designees, by a majority of the members of the Advisory Board) with respect to (A) the election of Company Designees (or successors nominated by the Company Designees or Advisory Board) as directors, and (B) the removal for Cause of any Standby Purchaser Designee;

The provisions of this Section 1.4(e) are intended to be for the benefit of the Group and will be enforceable by the Company Designees against the Standby Purchaser and each Group Company during the Standstill Period.

(f) During the Post-Closing Protection Period, Standby Purchaser and HoldCo agree that ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of HoldCo subject to his earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal for Cause, and except as may be otherwise recommended by the Chief Executive Officer, HoldCo shall:

(ii) cause the Group to maintain the headquarters office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and cause Efinancial, LLC to maintain its principal place of business at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

HoldCo shall prepare and, after providing the Standby Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments, promptly file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the purpose of registering the Common Stock to be offered in the Subscription Offering under the Securities Act and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the Registration Statement, which shall include the prospectus with respect to the Subscription Offering (the “Prospectus”). Standby Purchaser shall furnish HoldCo with all information concerning itself as required by applicable securities laws (as determined by HoldCo or counsel to HoldCo) and shall take such other action as HoldCo may reasonably request to assist in connection with the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and the issuance of the Common Stock. HoldCo shall (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement, (ii) furnish the Standby Purchaser with copies of any amendment, supplement or revision to the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus) within a reasonable amount of time prior to the filing of such documents, (iii) provide the Standby Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and reasonably consider any comments suggested by the Standby Purchaser or its counsel, and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC. HoldCo agrees that (i) the Registration Statement, on the date it becomes effective, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Prospectus, at the expiration of the subscription offering period, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that HoldCo is not making any covenant with respect to any information being furnished by the Standby Purchaser with respect to the Standby Purchaser as set forth in this Section 1.5(a)).

(b) Special Meeting of Members. Members Mutual, acting through its board of directors and subject to Members Mutual’s right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Article VIII hereof, shall duly call, send notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the dates of the approval of the Plan of Conversion and the Standby Purchaser Form A by the Department, and (ii) the date upon which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date of Registration Statement”), for the purpose of voting upon a proposal to adopt the Plan of Conversion and the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Converted Members Mutual substantially in a form previously agreed to by the parties (the “Members Mutual Restated Articles”). Members Mutual shall mail, or cause to be mailed, the notice of the Special Meeting, the proxy statement for the Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) and the Prospectus, to the Eligible Members at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Special Meeting.

Section 1.6. No False or Misleading Statements.

(a) Each of the Standby Purchaser, Members Mutual and HoldCo, severally and not jointly, agrees that the information provided and to be provided in writing by or on behalf of the Standby Purchaser, Members Mutual or HoldCo, as the case may be, specifically for use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, shall not, with respect to the information supplied by such party:

(i) in the case of the Registration Statement, on the date it becomes effective, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and

(ii) in the case of the Prospectus, on the expiration of the subscription offering period, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) If at any time prior to the applicable dates referred to in Section 1.6(a), any event shall occur or condition shall exist relating to the Standby Purchaser, Members Mutual, HoldCo or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the Registration Statement so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, is discovered by the Standby Purchaser, Members Mutual or HoldCo, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, HoldCo shall cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such event or condition to be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Offering Participants, as may be necessary in the judgement of HoldCo or its counsel to correct such untrue statement or omission or to comply with applicable securities laws.

As of the date hereof, one share of HoldCo capital stock is issued and outstanding and held by Members Mutual. When issued pursuant to the Plan of Conversion and this Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except for the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Conversion or this Agreement or as described in the Prospectus, there are no outstanding (a) securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase equity interests, equity-based compensation, “phantom” equity or similar interests of any Group Company; (b) options, warrants, subscriptions, calls, rights, equity-based compensation or awards, stock appreciation rights, or other agreements, to which any Group Company is a party, to purchase or subscribe for the equity interests, equity-based compensation, “phantom” equity or similar interests of any Group Company; or (c) contracts, commitments, agreements, understandings or arrangements of any kind, to which any Group Company is a party, relating to the issuance, transfer, sale, redemption, repurchase or acquisition of any equity interests, equity-based compensation, “phantom” equity or similar interests of any Group Company or any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any such options, warrants, calls or rights.

This Agreement and each of the Related Documents to which it is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by HoldCo and (assuming each constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the other parties thereto) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of HoldCo, enforceable against HoldCo in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the application of bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable principles being applied at the discretion of a court before which any proceeding may be brought.
