(d) If any provision contained in this Section 5.12 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.12, but this Section 5.12 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

(i) If a claim shall be made, or Tax Contest initiated, by any taxing authority which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 5.16(a), then the party in receipt of the claim shall give notice to the other parties thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the party to be notified has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Parent shall have the right to represent the Companies’ interests in connection with any such claim or Tax Contest relating solely to Excluded Taxes and to employ Representatives of its choice at its expense; provided, that: (A) Parent shall have first notified Purchaser in writing of its intention to do so and of the identity of Representatives, if any, chosen by the Parent in connection therewith; (B) Parent shall be liable for any expenses, including fees for outside attorneys and other outside consultants, incurred in connection with any such claim or Tax Contest (other than those incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates); and (C) with respect to any such claim or Tax Contest, Parent must periodically consult, in good faith, with Purchaser with respect to the conduct of such claim or Tax Contest and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed regarding the status thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.16(c), Parent shall not settle any such claim or Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed by Purchaser if Purchaser reasonably determines that such settlement could have a material adverse impact on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Companies) for any Tax period (or portion thereof) after Closing. Purchaser and Representatives of its own choosing shall at Purchaser’s expense have the right to participate fully in (but not to control) all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such claim or Tax Contest if it reasonably determines that such Tax Contest could have a material adverse impact on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Companies) for any Tax Period (or portion thereof) after Closing.

(ii) In the case of a claim or Tax Contest involving the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which relates to both Excluded Taxes and other items, Purchaser and Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Tax Contest to be split into separate Tax Contests, at least one of which relates solely to Excluded Taxes which shall be governed by Section 5.18(c)(i).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, if such settlement could (i) cause Parent to have an indemnification obligation under Section 5.16(a) or (ii) in Parent’s reasonable determination, cause a material adverse impact on Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Companies) for any Tax period (or portion thereof) on or before Closing.

-61-

(iii) With respect to a claim or Tax Contest for which Parent is not subject to an indemnification obligation under Section 5.16(a), Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control, at its own expense, any such claim or Tax Contest involving the Companies (other than any Tax Contest described in Sections 5.16(c)(i) and (ii)).

(d) During the period from the Effective Date to the Closing, Parent and the Companies shall timely pay all Taxes (including estimated Taxes) when due in accordance with applicable Law and past practice.

(e) Any Tax refunds that are directly attributable to the taxable income of the Companies that are received (or, in the case of a Pre-Closing Tax Straddle Period, that would have been received if the Straddle Period ended on the end of the Closing Date) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Companies), and any amounts credited against any Taxes that are directly attributable to the taxable income of the Companies and to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Companies) become entitled, that relate to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the end of the Closing Date, shall be held for the account of Parent to the extent of the amount attributable to such pre-Closing period, and Purchaser shall pay over to Parent, as additional purchase price for the Company Equity, the amount of any such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ receipt or entitlement thereto. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely and properly prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any claim for refund, amended Tax Return, or other Tax Return required to obtain any such available Tax refunds from any such pre-Closing Tax period; provided, that if Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such filing is disadvantageous to the Tax position of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Companies), then Purchaser may elect to promptly pay the amount of such Tax refunds to Parent without making any such filing. Any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Purchaser to make any of the filings referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 5.16(e) shall be borne by Parent and promptly reimbursed to Purchaser upon request, except to the extent to which such costs and expenses relate to aspects of the filing that do not relate to any such refund payable to Parent.

(i) In the event that Parent receives or realizes (or could receive or realize) into Parent’s consolidated Tax Return any Tax refund or amounts credited against any Taxes that are directly attributable to the taxable income of Parent or its Affiliates, as a result of a carryback of a Tax attribute of any of the Companies that arises or occurs after the Closing Date, then Parent shall hold for the account of Purchaser the amount of any such Tax refund or credits and promptly pay the same over to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ receipt or entitlement thereto. Parent shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to the preparation and filing of any claim, amendment to a Tax Return, or other Tax Return required to obtain any such available Tax refunds or credits; provided, that if Parent determines, in its sole discretion, that such a filing is disadvantageous to the Tax position of Parent or any of its Affiliates, then Parent may elect to promptly pay the amount of such Tax refunds or credits to Purchaser without authorizing such filing. Except to the extent to which such filings involve filings requested by Parent pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.16(e), all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser to make any of the filings referred to in this Section 5.16(e)(i) shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

-62-

(f) Purchaser shall be a “C corporation” for purposes of the Code. Purchaser shall cause MIC and MM to (i) join Purchaser’s “consolidated group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-1(h)) effective as of the beginning of the date following the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last date of a Tax period of MIC and MM (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”).

(a) All representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section 8.01(a): (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01(a) (other than clause (iii) therein), 3.02, 3.04, 3.17, 4.01 (other than clause (c) therein), 4.02, 4.03, and 4.10 (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.11 shall survive the Closing Date for five (5) years; and (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.12, 3.36 and 4.11 shall survive the Closing Date until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter thereof.

(b) The covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed after the Closing, including the indemnification obligations contained in this Article VIII, shall survive in accordance with their terms.

(c) If an Indemnitee delivers a written notice in accordance with Sections 8.03(a) or 8.04 with respect to a claim for any indemnification as provided for under this Article VIII before the expiration of the applicable survival period, then the applicable representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such claim.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective stockholders, directors, members, general and limited partners, managers, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Parent in Article III of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the Parent Closing Certificate listed in Section 6.02(d)); (ii) any breach of any covenant of Parent, the Companies, or any of their Affiliates contained herein; (iii) any Transaction Expenses that were not paid in full by Closing; provided, that for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses indemnifiable under clause (i) of this paragraph, the representations and warranties of Parent shall not be deemed qualified by any references to “material,” “Company Material Adverse Effect,” or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty.

-74-

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, its Affiliates, and their respective stockholders, directors, members, general and limited partners, managers, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Parent Indemnitee” and, together with each Purchaser Indemnitee, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Parent Indemnitee arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder; or (ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained herein; provided, that for the purposes of determining the amount of any Losses indemnifiable under clause (i) of this paragraph, the representations and warranties of Purchaser shall not be deemed qualified by any references to “material,” “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect,” or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty.

Section 8.03 Matters Involving Third Parties. Except with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 5.16:

(a) In order for any Indemnitee to make a claim for any indemnification as provided for under this Article VIII in respect of, arising out of, or involving a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement or its Affiliates against the Indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee must promptly notify the Person that is obligated to provide such indemnification (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, of the Third-Party Claim, but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee under Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b), as applicable, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by the failure to timely give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses by giving written notice to the Indemnitee as soon as reasonably practicable (but, in any event, no later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice of the Third-Party Claim), to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party who shall be a recognized law firm with reasonably sufficient experience and resources to defend the Indemnitee against any such Third-Party Claim in such proceeding; provided, that such counsel is not objected to by the Indemnitee in its reasonable discretion as a result of a conflict of interest. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof (except in the case of a conflict of interest as set forth in Section 8.03(c)). If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and make available such assistance and materials to, the Indemnifying Party as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

-75-

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.03(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control, and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim if:

(i) the Indemnifying Party does not provide written notice to the Indemnitee of its election to control the defense of such proceeding within thirty (30) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of such proceeding;

(ii) either – (A) such proceeding involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, or (B) such proceeding involves a Governmental Entity; or

(iii) there exists, in the Indemnitee’s good faith judgment, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could reasonably be expected to prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding.

(d) Provided that an Indemnitee has given the Indemnifying Party notice of a Third-Party Claim as required hereunder, unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate; provided, that except as set forth in Section 8.03(c), the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment, unless such settlement, compromise, or judgment: (i) involves only the payment of money damages for which the Indemnitee is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party and the payment of the claim will be made by the Indemnifying Party in full; (ii) does not impose an injunction or other non-monetary relief upon the Indemnitee; (iii) provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim from each claimant or plaintiff in such Third-Party Claim; and (iv) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnitee. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not timely elect to assume and control the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim, or is not permitted to do so pursuant to Section 8.03(c) above, then the Indemnitee may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and make available such assistance and materials to, the Indemnitee as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitee.

-76-

Section 8.04 Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim in writing and in reasonable detail to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness. The failure by any Indemnitee to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Section 8.05 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Except for fraud, for which the following limitations shall not apply, an Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to any indemnification claims arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 8.02(a)(i) or 8.02(b)(i) (other than claims relating to an inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation), unless and until the aggregate amount of the Losses claimed exceeds One Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($135,000.00) (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled against the Indemnifying Party to recover Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b) Except for fraud: (i) in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, under Section 8.02(a)(i) or 8.02(b)(i) (other than claims relating to an inaccuracy or breach of Fundamental Representations) exceed the Cap; and (ii) in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(b)(i) exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) For purposes of determining Losses hereunder, the amount thereof shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution, or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnitee in respect of any such claim (with such insurance or other proceeds deemed reduced by – (i) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to collecting under such policies or from such third party, and (ii) any deductible associated therewith to the extent paid) and any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnitee in respect of such claim (a “Net Recovery”). If the Indemnitee actually receives a Net Recovery, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount of such Net Recovery up to, but not to exceed, the amount of Losses actually paid to such Indemnitee by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations in this Section 8.05 shall not apply to any indemnity claim relating to Tax matters.

(e) An Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses, including using commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under any insurance policies that may be applicable to any Losses.

-77-

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) neither Parent nor the Companies shall be liable under this Article VIII or otherwise for any Losses arising out of, resulting from, or relating to any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Parent in Article III of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the Parent Closing Certificate listed in Section 6.02(d)) if Purchaser had actual knowledge of such breach or inaccuracy prior to Closing.

(ii) Purchaser shall not be liable under this Article VIII or otherwise for any Losses arising out of, resulting from, or relating to any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Article IV of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the certificate listed in Section 6.03(c)) if Parent had actual knowledge of such breach or inaccuracy prior to Closing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable under this Article VIII or otherwise for any Losses arising out of, resulting from, or relating to any failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.03 (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Sections 6.03(a) or 6.03(b)) or any other matter related thereto if Parent waived such condition prior to Closing or had actual knowledge of such failure prior to Closing.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 8.05(f), “actual knowledge” of a party shall not include, without limitation, constructive knowledge of any information contained in the other party’s forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents (or in any exhibits and schedules thereto, or any information incorporated therein by reference) filed or furnished by them under the Securities Act, under the Exchange Act, or under the securities regulations of the SEC solely by virtue of the fact that such forms, reports, schedules, statements, documents, or information were filed with the SEC or another Governmental Entity and are publicly available.

Section 8.06 Exclusive Remedies Following the Closing. Following the Closing, except as set forth in Section 5.12, the indemnification provisions of Section 5.16 and this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, including for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth herein, except in the case of fraud, and each party waives all other remedies with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, including the Transactions.

Section 8.07 Payments.

(a) Once a Loss has been agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated in a final and non-appealable proceeding to be payable pursuant to Section 5.16(a) or this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within five (5) Business Days after such agreement or final non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

-78-

(b) The parties agree that any indemnification made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.08 No Right of Contribution. Parent waives, and acknowledges and agrees that Parent shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Companies in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which Parent may become subject under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

EXHIBIT B

REINSURANCE CAPACITY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT

THIS Reinsurance Capacity Right of First Refusal Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated [*], 2019 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between FEDNAT Holding Company, a Florida corporation (“FedNat”), and 1347 Property Insurance Holdings Inc., a company organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (“PIH”). Each of FedNat and PIH are, at times, each individually referred to in this Agreement as a “Party,” and collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, insurance company subsidiaries of FedNat (each, a “FedNat Insurance Company” and, collectively, the “FedNat Insurance Companies”) may, from time to time, negotiate and procure reinsurance in such amounts and on such terms that the FedNat Insurance Companies deem to be appropriate; and

WHEREAS, on the Effective Date, FedNat is entering into a transaction with PIH, pursuant to which FedNat will acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of three subsidiaries of PIH (the “Acquisition”); and

WHEREAS, after the closing of the Acquisition, PIH may provide reinsurance coverage to insurance providers through its insurance company subsidiaries, and PIH desires to obtain the opportunity to provide reinsurance coverage to the FedNat Insurance Companies pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the consummation of the Acquisition for the Parties to enter into this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Right of First Refusal.

(a) With respect to each purchase after the Effective Date until the conclusion of the Term (as defined in Section 2) by one or more of the FedNat Insurance Companies of each layer (each, a “Reinsurance Coverage Layer”) of their annual property catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program (the “CAT Reinsurance Program”), PIH shall have a right of first refusal (each, a “Right of First Refusal”) to sell through any of its insurance company subsidiaries a maximum of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of annual in force limit of any and each Reinsurance Coverage Layer so purchased by the FedNat Insurance Companies (the “ROFR Reinsurance Maximum”); provided, that in no event shall PIH have the right to exercise a Right of First Refusal such that, immediately after the exercise thereof, PIH and its affiliates collectively would have an annual aggregate in force amount of all reinsurance coverage sold to the FedNat Insurance Companies, in the aggregate, of greater than Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (the “Reinsurance Limit”). Each sale by PIH pursuant to a Right of First Refusal shall be documented under the corresponding Firm Order Terms or Modified Firm Order Terms, as applicable (each as defined below), and subject in every case to: (I) the terms, conditions, and requirements of all applicable regulations, rules, and laws (including, without limitation, the applicable regulations and laws of the State of Florida) (collectively, “Applicable Laws”) (it being acknowledged and agreed that PIH has no right to exercise a Right of First Refusal or to sell reinsurance to any FedNat Insurance Company pursuant to this Agreement if doing so would violate any Applicable Laws); and (II) the other terms and conditions of this Section 1. All reinsurance sold by PIH pursuant to a Right of First Refusal shall be memorialized by an agreement in such form and subject to such terms and conditions as are customary in the property and casualty insurance industry (each, a “Reinsurance Agreement”). If any Reinsurance Agreement is entered into by PIH prior to the conclusion of the Term, but the term of the applicable Reinsurance Agreement (the “Reinsurance Period”) otherwise ends after the conclusion of the Term, then such Reinsurance Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Term in accordance with the terms and provisions of the applicable Reinsurance Agreement.

(b) FedNat shall cause the FedNat Insurance Companies, either through one or more reinsurance brokers selected by FedNat (each, a “Broker” and, collectively, the “Brokers”) or directly through a third party reinsurer of FedNat’s choosing, in each case in FedNat’s sole discretion from time to time, to seek written quotes for, and terms and conditions of, each Reinsurance Coverage Layer to be purchased pursuant to the CAT Reinsurance Program in appropriate reinsurance markets and from potentially eligible third party reinsurers (including PIH) for a reasonable period of time, and to concurrently provide all exposure and related information materially relevant and customarily requested for such Reinsurance Coverage Layer to such potential third party reinsurers (including PIH), subject to such third party reinsurers’ (and PIH’s) execution and delivery to FedNat of a Standard Non-Disclosure Agreement. Thereafter, FedNat shall cause the applicable FedNat Insurance Company to determine firm order terms for the Reinsurance Coverage Layer (the “Firm Order Terms”) and communicate those Firm Order Terms to the potential third party reinsurers (including PIH). The final executed terms of the CAT Reinsurance Program for each Reinsurance Coverage Layer entered into by applicable FedNat Insurance Company shall be the same as described in the Firm Order Terms or Modified Firm Order Terms (as defined below), as applicable. PIH shall have a period of three (3) business days after its receipt of Firm Order Terms to elect in writing (in the manner provided in Section 11) to provide all or a portion of the ROFR Reinsurance Maximum with respect to that Reinsurance Coverage Layer at the Firm Order Terms without any additional terms, conditions, or stipulations, but only if the exercise of the Right of First Refusal and the sale of reinsurance pursuant thereto would not cause PIH and its affiliates to collectively exceed the Reinsurance Limit as of the applicable time. For the avoidance of doubt, PIH may exercise the Right of First Refusal for only a portion of a ROFR Reinsurance Maximum applicable to any or each of the Reinsurance Coverage Layer in order to comply with the Reinsurance Limit. Any such election of a Right of First Refusal by PIH shall be irrevocable once it has been made, but shall be subject to the terms of the applicable Reinsurance Agreement as of the applicable time.

(c) To the extent that PIH elects not to provide or participate in a Reinsurance Coverage Layer at the Firm Order Terms, or fails to notify FedNat of its election within the three (3) business day time frame set forth in Section 1(b), then the applicable FedNat Insurance Company shall have the right to accept PIH’s allotment of such Reinsurance Coverage Layer at the Firm Order Terms from any combination of other eligible reinsurers willing to offer coverage at the Firm Order Terms; provided, that in the event that the Firm Order Terms are materially modified with respect to a Reinsurance Coverage Layer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall mean any change that materially changes the price or any material coverage terms or conditions of such Firm Order Terms that are more favorable to reinsurance providers) (the “Modified Firm Order Terms”), FedNat shall cause the applicable FedNat Insurance Company to first provide PIH with a new Right of First Refusal with respect to that Reinsurance Coverage Layer at the Modified Firm Order Terms. In such case, PIH shall have two (2) business days following its receipt of the Modified Firm Order Terms to elect in writing (in the manner provided in Section 11) to exercise the Right of First Refusal to provide all or a portion of the ROFR Insurance Maximum for the applicable Reinsurance Coverage Layer on such Modified Firm Order Terms; otherwise, the applicable FedNat Insurance Company shall have the right to accept PIH’s allotment of such Reinsurance Coverage Layer at the Modified Firm Order Terms from any combination of other eligible reinsurers willing to offer coverage at the Modified Firm Order Terms. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall PIH be eligible to sell reinsurance to any FedNat Insurance Company in excess of the ROFR Reinsurance Maximum with respect to any Reinsurance Coverage Layer, or make any sale that would cause PIH and its affiliates to collectively exceed the Reinsurance Limit.

-2-

(d) Upon entry into any Reinsurance Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the exercise of a Right of First Refusal, the applicable PIH insurance company that has entered into any Reinsurance Agreement shall both: (i) be duly licensed and accredited in all applicable jurisdictions to provide all reinsurance coverage that is contemplated by the Reinsurance Agreement; and (ii) either – (A) both maintain an insurer financial strength rating from A.M. Best Company, Inc. of not less than “A-” and be an accredited insurer in Florida such that FedNat can take credit for reinsurance in accordance with all Applicable Laws, or (B) fully collateralize with cash, letters of credit, or appropriate trust agreement equal in value to one hundred percent (100%) of its share of the total limit of each applicable Reinsurance Coverage Layer in a manner acceptable to the applicable FedNat Insurance Company and acceptable to any applicable insurance regulator pursuant to Applicable Laws; provided, that, if PIH utilizes a trust agreement, whether in whole or in part, to satisfy this condition precedent, then – (Y) no more than one trust agreement shall be used by PIH to satisfy this condition with respect to all Insurance Coverage Layers, and (Z) the materials terms and provisions of the Trust that relate to the availability and release of funds to satisfy reinsurance obligations shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FedNat. The applicable PIH insurance company shall have seventy two (72) hours from such election, or until the effective date of the applicable CAT Reinsurance Program (whichever is sooner), to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 1(d)(ii) and provide reasonable proof thereof to FedNat; otherwise, PIH’s election to exercise the Right of First Refusal shall be deemed by the Parties to be waived and declined with respect to the Reinsurance Coverage Layers in question. Each year during the Term, within a reasonable period of time prior to the implementation of the CAT Reinsurance Program for that year, FedNat may request that PIH reasonably demonstrate to FedNat that either of the conditions listed in subparts (i) and (ii) of this Section 1(d) will be satisfied prior to the effective date of such CAT Reinsurance Program.

(e) PIH’s right to exercise a Right of First Refusal shall exist each time that FedNat or a FedNat Insurance Company desires to purchase Reinsurance Coverage Layers pursuant to the CAT Reinsurance Program during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, neither FedNat nor any FedNat Insurance Company shall purchase Reinsurance Coverage Layers from any other third party reinsurer unless and until it has complied with the obligations to PIH in this Section 1.

-3-

2. Term. Subject to the terms of Section 17 below, PIH shall have a Right of First Refusal with respect to any Reinsurance Coverage Layer purchased by a FedNat Insurance Company pursuant to the CAT Reinsurance Program, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1, for any Reinsurance Period commencing on or after the Effective Date and prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”) only.

3. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not constitute a sale, lease, license or other transfer by either Party of any proprietary systems or intellectual property of the other Party. FedNat shall have the right to require, as a condition precedent to providing exposure and related information (including, without limitation, reinsurance submission and modelling data) that is materially relevant and customarily requested for any Reinsurance Layer, to require all third party reinsurers (including PIH) to execute and deliver to FedNat non-disclosure agreements in reasonable form and substance provided by FedNat (with no material deviation with respect to any individual reinsurer or PIH) with respect to such information (a “Standard Non-Disclosure Agreement”).

The terms of this Agreement are not intended to make any of the Parties, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, a joint employer for any purpose.

7. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10 hereof, this Agreement may be assigned, sold or otherwise transferred by PIH without any consideration to FedNat or FedNat Insurance Companies in the following manners, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8(c) and subject to the approval of FedNat (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as the terms and requirements of Section 8(c) are satisfied):

-5-

(i) PIH may assign this entire Agreement (but not a portion hereof) to any one of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

(ii) PIH may sell assign or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”) this entire Agreement (but not a portion hereof) to an unaffiliated party (“Transferee”). The consideration for the Transfer will be at the sole discretion of PIH and the Transferee.

(i) As a condition precedent to PIH’s or any successor’s or permitted assign’s (an “Assignor”) assignment of this Agreement to one of the persons set forth in Section 8(b) (an “Assignee”), the Assignor shall deliver to FedNat prior to such assignment: (A) an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FedNat and pursuant to which Assignee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in its entirety as “PIH” (including all of the conditions required for the exercise of a Right of First Refusal), without condition or reservation; and (B) a Standard Non-Disclosure Agreement provided by FedNat and executed by the Assignee pursuant to which Assignee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all exposure and related information (including, without limitation, reinsurance submission and modelling data).

(ii) In the event that an Assignor elects to assign this Agreement to a person who is not an affiliate or subsidiary of PIH (a “Proposed Third-Party Assignee”), prior to such assignment and as a condition precedent thereof, the Assignor shall deliver written notice (in the manner required by Section 11) to FedNat of all material terms and conditions of such assignment (the “Assignment Terms”). FedNat shall then have a period of three (3) business days after its receipt of written notice of all material terms and conditions to elect in writing (in the manner provided in Section 11) to elect to assume this Agreement from the Assignor pursuant to the Assignment Terms, without any additional terms, conditions, or stipulations. Any such election by FedNat shall be irrevocable once it has been made. To the extent that FedNat elects not to exercise its right to assume this Agreement pursuant to the Assignment Terms, or fails to notify Assignor of its election within the three (3) business day time frame set forth above in this Section 8(c)(ii), then Assignor shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days to assign this Agreement to the Proposed Third-Party Assignee pursuant to the Assignment Terms (subject to the other conditions precedent set forth in this Section 8); provided, that in the event that the assignment is not consummated within such thirty (30) day period, or the Assignment Terms are materially modified (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall mean any change that materially affects the price or any material terms or conditions of the Assignment Terms that are more favorable to the Proposed Assignee) (the “Modified Assignment Terms”), the Assignor shall again provide FedNat with a new right of first refusal with respect to the assignment of this Agreement at the Modified Assignment Terms.

No Assignor shall make any assignment of this Agreement unless and until it has complied with the requirements of this Section 8(c)(ii).

STANDSTILL AGREEMENT

THIS Standstill Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of [*], 2019 (the “Effective Date”) by and between FEDNAT HOLDING COMPANY, a Florida corporation (“FedNat”), and 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PIH”). Each of FedNat and PIH are, at times, individually referred to herein as a “Party,” and collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, FedNat, PIH, Maison Managers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MM”), Maison Insurance Company, a Louisiana corporation (“MIC”), and ClaimCor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CC” and, together with MM and MIC, each, a “Company” and, collectively, the “Companies”) have entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of February 25, 2019 (as it may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which FedNat agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock and membership interest, as applicable, of the Companies (the “Acquisition”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Acquisition and as partial consideration therefor, PIH will receive certain shares of FedNat Common Stock (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”), PIH agrees to certain matters set forth in this Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

(b) “FedNat Common Stock” means the authorized shares of common stock of FedNat, par value of one cent ($0.01) per share.

(c) “Solicitation” has the same meaning as set forth in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and shall include, without limitation, any action that causes a Person to become a participant in such a Solicitation within the meaning of Instruction 3 of Item 4 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(d) “Voting Securities” means (i) all shares of FedNat Common Stock, (ii) all other equity securities issued by FedNat pursuant to which the holder thereof has the right to vote on any matter relating to FedNat (whether such right is conveyed by the terms of the securities, by Law, or otherwise), and (iii) all securities and other instruments of any type that are convertible into the securities described in items (i) and (ii) of this Section 1(e), in each case that are owned or held, whether direct or indirectly, and whether beneficially or of record, by PIH at any time, regardless of when they were acquired and regardless of whether they were issued pursuant to the Acquisition.

(e) All other capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2. Limitations on PIH’s Actions. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for the Term (as defined in Section 8), PIH agrees to vote all of the Voting Securities beneficially owned by each of them in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to any matter that is before the stockholders of FedNat for a vote by such stockholders whenever the Board has made a recommendation to the stockholders regarding such matter (a “Board Recommended Matter”). In addition, commencing on the Effective Date and at all times during the Term, PIH shall not, directly or indirectly, do any of the following:

(d) Publicly advise, seek to advise, encourage, seek to encourage, influence or seek to influence any Person with respect to the voting of any shares of FedNat Common Stock held by other stockholders of FedNat;

(e) Take action to nominate or present any Person for election to the Board at any annual meeting of FedNat’s stockholders or any other meeting of FedNat’s stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors;

(f) Seek, propose or make any public statements with respect to any FedNat action requiring approval of FedNat’s stockholders;

(g) Deposit any Voting Securities in any voting trust or subject any Voting Securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of any Voting Securities;

(i) Seek, alone or in concert with others, (i) to call a meeting of stockholders of FedNat; (ii) representation on the Board; (iii) the removal of any FedNat officer and/or director; or (iv) to support financially, or through the giving of services or information, any Person who is suing or contemplating suing FedNat or any of its Affiliates, or is conducting or contemplating a Solicitation in opposition to a proposal by the Board or FedNat’s management; or

(j) Enter into, engage in, encourage or otherwise participate in any transaction designed to circumvent any of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent PIH from engaging in private discussions with the Board, management or stockholders of FedNat regarding the FedNat business.

3. Exception. At all times during the Term, PIH shall be permitted (and the provisions of Section 2 shall not apply) to provide information or assistance to any Person in response to a request by a governmental agency with jurisdiction or authority over the Stockholder, a validly issued subpoena or otherwise as required by law; provided, that in each such instance, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, PIH shall provide as much advance notice to FedNat of such response as reasonably possible and provide reasonable assistance to FedNat to obtain any protective order sought by FedNat with respect to such response. PIH shall be permitted to file a Statement on Schedule 13G with the SEC disclosing its investment in FedNat Common Stock, describing and filing a copy of this Agreement, if required by applicable law, and otherwise complying with the requirements of such Statement and the rules and regulations of the SEC relating to such Statement.

4. Other Acknowledgements.

(a) PIH understands and agrees that, if it votes its Voting Securities in violation of Section 2 or of this Agreement, then PIH hereby unconditionally and irrevocably instructs FedNat not to record the amount of Voting Securities so voted; and (ii) if all of PIH’s Voting Securities are not voted in favor of any Board Recommended Matter (whether by virtue of a negative vote or abstention), then the number of shares not voted in favor of the Board Recommended Matter shall be automatically voted, and deemed for all purposes to have been voted by PIH in favor of such Board Recommended Matter.

(b) If and to the extent that it is determined that Section 4(a) hereof is unenforceable, then PIH covenants and agrees that PIH will cause all of its Voting Securities to be voted at any meeting of FedNat’s stockholders or at any adjournments or postponements thereof: (i) in favor of each Board Recommended Matter; and (ii) against any stockholder nominations for director.

(c) In the event that the Voting Securities are sold or otherwise transferred in a privately negotiated transaction, the purchaser or transferee shall take the Voting Securities subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. PIH agrees to provide FedNat with five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such transaction.

5. Equitable Remedies; Remedies for Certain Breaches.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 2 or 4 of this Agreement, and that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive (preliminary or permanent) or other equitable relief as remedies for any breach of any such section. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. Each Party waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.

(b) The rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued and exercised singularly, successively or concurrently at the sole discretion of the exercising Party and may be exercised as often as such Party shall deem necessary or desirable, and the non-exercise by a Party of any such rights and remedies in any particular instance shall not in any way constitute a waiver or release thereof in that or any subsequent instance.

6. Additional Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. PIH hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to and in favor of FedNat that:

(a) PIH has all requisite capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform PIH’s obligations under this Agreement. No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Person is necessary on the part of PIH for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by PIH or the consummation by PIH of the transactions and agreements contemplated hereby.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by PIH and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by PIH and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of PIH.

(c) Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by FedNat, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of PIH, enforceable against PIH in accordance with its terms.

(d) Except as contemplated by this Agreement, PIH has not been a party to any grant of proxy or power of attorney, deposited any of its Voting Securities into a voting trust or similar arrangement, entered into any Contract with any Person (including, without limitation, any voting agreement or similar arrangement), or otherwise, granted, delegated or otherwise assigned any of its voting power as a holder of Voting Securities, whether directly or indirectly, in any manner that is inconsistent with PIH’s obligations under this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by PIH nor the consummation by PIH of the transactions and agreements contemplated hereby or compliance by PIH with any of the provisions hereof shall: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the organizational documents of PIH; (ii) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any property or asset of PIH pursuant to any Contract to which PIH is a party or by which PIH or any property or asset of PIH is bound or affected; or (iii) violate any law or judgment, order, injunction, ruling or decree of any Governmental Entity applicable to PIH or any of PIH’s properties or assets.

(e) Except for restrictions in favor of FedNat pursuant to this Agreement and in any other agreement entered into by PIH in connection with the Transactions, and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” laws of the various States of the United States, PIH is the sole record and beneficial owner of all of PIH’s Voting Securities, in each case free and clear of Liens, and has the full and exclusive power to vote or direct the vote with respect to the Voting Securities. As used in this Agreement, the terms “beneficial owner,” “beneficially own” and “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether a Person is a beneficial owner of any Voting Securities, a Person shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any Voting Securities which may be acquired by such Person pursuant to any Contract or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such Voting Securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, including the passage of time in excess of sixty (60) days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing).

(f) There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of PIH, threatened, against or affecting such Party before or by any Governmental Entity, except, as is not, and would not reasonably be, expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to impair the ability of PIH to perform PIH’s obligations hereunder in any respect.

(g) PIH understands and acknowledges that FedNat is entering into the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon PIH’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of PIH contained herein.

(h) PIH shall not take any action that would make any representation or warranty of PIH contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect, or that would prohibit PIH from performing all of PIH’s covenants and obligations contained herein.

7. No Reliance. Except as expressly set forth in any representation, warranty, or covenant made by a Party in this Agreement, each Party expressly disclaims and shall not be deemed to have made any representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied, to the other Party, in connection with or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8. Term. This Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect as of the date that is the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [●], 2019 by and between FedNat Holding Company, a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”).

This Agreement is made pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of February 25, 2019 by and between the Company, Parent, Maison Managers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Maison Insurance Company, a Louisiana corporation, and ClaimCor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Purchase Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Parent agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms in the Purchase Agreement. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

“Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday or Sunday or other day on which banks located in New York City are authorized or required by law to close.

“Effective Date” means the date that the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is first declared effective by the Commission.

“Effectiveness Deadline” means, with respect to a Registration Statement, the earlier of: (i) the seventy-fifth (75th) day following the Closing Date or (ii) the second (2nd) Trading Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, that if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

“Registrable Securities” means all of the Shares and any securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the Shares, provided that Shares shall cease to be Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of the following: (A) a sale pursuant to a Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in which case, only such security sold shall cease to be a Registrable Security); (B) becoming eligible for sale without time, volume or manner of sale restrictions by Parent under Rule 144 and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144(c)(1); (C) if such Shares have ceased to be outstanding; and (D) the date a Registration Statement becomes effective including such Shares and all such Shares have been disposed by Parent in accordance with such effective Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that the Registrable Securities may at times cease to be Registrable Securities does not prevent them from again becoming Registrable Securities in the future.

2. Registration Request. The Company shall file with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on Form S-1 or on another appropriate form in accordance herewith and the Company shall undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available; provided, that the Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and shall use its best efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by Parent or (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold by Parent (A) without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144 and (B) without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) (such period of time, the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of any such Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day. The Company shall promptly notify Parent via facsimile or electronic mail of a “.pdf” format data file of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus for a Registration Statement with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).

3. Piggyback Registration.

(a) Without prejudice to the rights of Parent under Section 4(o), if at any time when any Registrable Securities are outstanding, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company intends to file a Registration Statement covering a primary or secondary offering of any of its equity securities, whether or not the sale for its own account, which is not a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 (or successor form), a registration statement on Form S-4 (or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 or any other similar rule of the Commission is applicable, the Company will promptly (and in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the anticipated filing date) give written notice to Parent of its intention to effect such a registration (which notice shall state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, the number of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed managing underwriter(s) (if any, and if known) and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such equity securities). The Company will effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that Parent requests be included in such registration (a “Piggyback Registration”) by a written notice delivered to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the notice given by the Company in the preceding sentence. Subject to Section 3(b), securities requested to be included in a Company registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be included by the Company on the same form of Registration Statement as has been selected by the Company for the securities the Company is registering for sale referred to above. Parent shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from the Piggyback Registration at any time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration. If the Company elects to terminate any registration filed under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, the Company will have no obligation to register the securities sought to be included by Parent in such registration under this Section 3. There shall be no limit to the number of Piggyback Registrations pursuant to this Section 3(a).

-3-

(b) If a Registration Statement under this Section 3 relates to an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that in its or their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such registration or Prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Common Stock and other securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of Parent to the extent that Parent has requested inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3, and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the lead underwriter or underwriters in connection with an underwritten offering made pursuant to this Section 3. Parent may not participate in any underwritten registration under this Section 3 unless Parent (i) agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by the underwritten offering on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required, in customary form, under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

4. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder:

(a) the Company shall, not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (and, promptly upon request of Parent, copies of documents to be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto), (i) furnish to one counsel designated by Parent (“Parent’s Counsel”), copies of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of Parent’s Counsel, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Parent’s Counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided that all such documents provided prior to filing, and the information contained therein, shall be confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party, nor shall Parent undertake any transactions in the Common Stock after receiving such documents but prior to the filing of such documents. The Company shall not (i) file any Registration Statement, or any such Prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto containing information to which Parent’s Counsel reasonably objects in good faith and (ii) submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or delayed or conditioned, provided, that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than two (2) Trading Days after Parent has been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto.

-4-

(b) (i) the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments and supplements, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period (except during a Grace Period (as defined below)); (ii) the Company shall cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (except during a Grace Period); (iii) the Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide Parent’s Counsel true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement (provided, that the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information); and (iv) the Company shall comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by Parent as set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; provided, that Parent shall be responsible for the delivery of the Prospectus to the Persons to whom Parent sells any of the Registrable Securities (including in accordance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act), and Parent agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 4(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the Commission on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

(c) the Company shall notify Parent (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made, if applicable) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed with the Commission; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided, that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to Parent until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure to Parent is required by law or judicial process; provided, further, that notwithstanding any Parent’s agreement to keep such information confidential, the Company and Parent make no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information.

-5-

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company if the disclosure of such information at the time is not, in the good faith judgment of the Company, in the best interests of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 4(d) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus for a period or periods (each, a “Grace Period”) not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any twelve (12)-month period and any such Grace Period shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) consecutive days and the first day of any such period must be at least five (5) days after the last day of any such prior Grace Period. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Parent receives the notice referred to in Section 4(c)(ii) through (vi) and shall end on and include the later of the date Parent receives the notice referred to in this Section 4(d) and the date referred to in such notice. During the Grace Period, the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statement filed hereunder and, in any event, Parent shall suspend sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statements during the pendency of the Grace Period; provided, the Company shall promptly and in compliance Sections 4(c) and (d) (i) notify Parent in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period or the need to file a post-effective amendment, as applicable, and the date on which such Grace Period will begin, (ii) use its best efforts to terminate a Grace Period as promptly as reasonably practicable provided that such termination is, in the good faith judgment of the Company, in the best interest of the Company, and to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable, and (iii) notify Parent in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to deliver unlegended Shares to a transferee of Parent in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which Parent has entered into a contract for sale prior to Parent’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which Parent has not yet settled.

(e) the Company shall use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.

(f) the Company shall furnish to Parent, without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by Parent (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s XXXXX or successor system.

(g) the Company agrees to promptly deliver to Parent, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by Parent in connection with the offering and sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

-6-

(h) the Company shall, prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by Parent, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with Parent in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by Parent under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as Parent reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any general tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(i) the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted under applicable law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as Parent may reasonably request. Certificates for Registrable Securities free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to Parent by crediting the account of Parent’s prime broker with the Depositary Trust Company, if and as directed by Parent.

(j) the Company shall following the occurrence of any event contemplated by Sections 4(c)(ii)-(vi), as promptly as reasonably practicable, as applicable: (i) use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if the stop order have been issued, or (ii) taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare and file a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading.

The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence that are the Company’s responsibility shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (B) with respect to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by Parent) and (C) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an issuer filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which Parent intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by Parent), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Company’s independent registered public accountants.

6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, the officers, directors, agents, general partners, managing members, managers, Affiliates and employees, each Person who controls Parent (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, general partners, managing members, managers, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Parent furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Parent expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to Parent or Parent’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by Parent or Parent’s Counsel expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) Parent’s failure to deliver or cause to be delivered the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made available by the Company, or (C) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Sections 4(c)(ii)-(vi), related to the use by Parent of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified Parent that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by Parent of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 7(e) below, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 6(c)) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by Parent. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware.

-9-

(b) Indemnification by Parent. Parent shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, in each case to the extent and only to the extent, that such Losses arise solely out of or are based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Parent furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Parent expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Parent hereunder (together with any liability under Section 6(d)) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Parent upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of one (1) counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such written notice within a reasonable time of commencement of any such Proceeding shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party in its ability to defend such Proceeding.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, does not involve a finding or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates, does not impose equitable remedies or obligations on the Indemnified Party or any or its affiliates other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnifying Party will pay.

-10-

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all documented fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 6(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by Parent pursuant to Section 7(j).

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) and 6(b) was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), Parent shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by Parent from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that Parent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

-11-

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by Parent of any of their obligations under this Agreement, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to seek to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to seek specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and Parent agree that monetary damages may not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

The Company shall furnish to Parent promptly upon request a written statement as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (or any successor exemptive rule), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time that it is subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of its most recent annual or quarterly report; and such other reports and documents as Parent may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

(e) Discontinued Disposition. Parent agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 4(c)(ii)-(vi), Parent will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

(f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Parent.

Parent may assign its rights hereunder as set forth in Section 7(i).

-12-

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature were the original thereof.

1. Non-Discretionary Investment Advisory Services; Fees.

(a) The Advisor will provide the Client with non-discretionary investment advisory services (the “Investment Advisory Services”), including without limitation: identifying, analyzing and recommending potential investments, advising as to existing investments and investment optimization, recommending investment dispositions, and advising as to the Advisor’s views and outlook on macro-economic conditions. The Client hereby engages the Advisor as investment adviser to the Client to provide non-discretionary investment advice with respect to Client investments and potential investments. The Advisor hereby accepts such appointment. Advisor will have no authority to withdraw or transfer assets from Client’s accounts. The Advisor may engage and assign all or a portion of the Investment Advisory Services to a sub-advisor so long as such sub-advisor is a registered investment adviser.

(b) Advisor will conduct periodic portfolio reviews with Client. Advisor will generally be available to discuss Client’s account during normal business hours. Advisor will attempt to meet with Client at least annually to discuss Client’s investment needs, goals and objectives and review Client’s account performance and the continued suitability of investments recommended by Advisor for Client.

(c) The Advisor will for all purposes of this Agreement be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Client.

(d) In consideration of the Investment Advisory Services provided to the Client hereunder, the Client will pay the Advisor an annual management fee of $100,000, paid quarterly in advance (the “Management Fee”). The quarterly installment of the Management Fee will be due no later than five business days after the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing with [*], 2019.

2. Expenses. The Client will be responsible for the fees and expenses of administrators, auditors and other service providers of the Client. The Advisor will be responsible for its own expenses in connection with the provision of the Investment Advisory Services.

3. Representations and Warranties; Covenants.

(a) The Client represents and warrants to the Advisor and agrees as follows: (i) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Client and executed and delivered by the Client in accordance with the applicable provisions of its governing documents (the “Governing Provisions”) and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Client enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) its entering into this Agreement will not breach or cause to be breached any of the Governing Provisions or any other undertaking, agreement, contract, statute, rule or regulation to which the Client is a party or by which it is bound; and (iii) it is duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and it has the full power and authority under the Governing Provisions to enter into, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will require the Advisor to disclose the details of any of its investment programs, formulae or strategies, except as required by applicable law.

(d) The Client acknowledges that Advisor’s past performance and advice regarding Client’s accounts cannot guarantee future results. As with all market investments, Client investments can appreciate or depreciate and Advisor does not guarantee or warrant that the services it offers will result in a profit or perform in any particular way.

(e) The Client expressly understands and agrees that Advisor is not qualified to, and does not purport to provide, any legal, accounting, estate, actuary, or tax advice or to prepare any legal, accounting or tax documents.

(b) Amendment; Waiver. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing and signed by both the Advisor and the Client.
