FOR

[RECIPIENT]

Award of Restricted Stock. Federated National Holding Company (the “Company”) hereby grants, as of [GRANT DATE] (the "Date of Grant"), to [RECIPIENT] ("Recipient"), [QUANTITY] restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (collectively the "Restricted Stock"). The Restricted Stock is being issued pursuant to the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date and as it may hereafter be amended (the "Plan"), which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms, provisions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. As a condition to entering into this Agreement, and as a condition to the issuance of any shares of Restricted Stock (or any other securities of the Company), the Recipient agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions herein and in the Plan and all applicable laws and regulations. Unless otherwise provided herein, terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings attributable thereto in the Plan.

Vesting of Restricted Stock.

(a)Time-Vesting of Restricted Stock. All of the Restricted Stock shall be subject to time-vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested in the following amounts, at the following times and upon the following conditions, provided that the continuous service of the Recipient continues through and on the applicable Time-Vesting Date:


	Number of Shares of Restricted Stock		Time-Vesting Date
	[number of shares]		[Date(s)]

Other than in accordance with this Section 2, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting of shares of Restricted Stock in or during the months, days or periods prior to the Time-Vesting Date and all vesting of shares of Restricted Stock shall occur only on the Time-Vesting Date.

(b)Performance-Vesting of Restricted Stock. In addition to the time-vesting provision contained in Section 2(a) above, all of the shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to performance-vesting, based on the performance goals established by the Administrator on [date] (the “Performance Goals”) and the achievement of which is substantially uncertain as of the Date of Grant. Other than in accordance with this Section 2, the shares of Restricted Stock shall vest on the Time-Vesting Date if and only if and to the extent that the Performance Goals described on Exhibit A are achieved, as approved by the Administrator.

(c)Change in Control. [In the event that a Change in Control of the Company occurs during the Recipient's continuous service and the Recipient’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within the [●]-month period following the Change in Control (a “Change in Control Termination”), the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall become immediately and fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control Termination, and shall be delivered, subject to any requirements under this Agreement, to the Recipient on the date of the Change in Control Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Change in Control of the Company occurs prior to a Time-Vesting Date and during the Recipient's continuous service, and a Change in Control Termination occurs, then the requirement to achieve the Performance Goals is immediately and irrevocably waived.]

(d)Administrator Discretion to Accelerate Vesting. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, the Administrator shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, based upon its review and evaluation of the performance of the Recipient and of the Company, to accelerate the vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem advisable, provided that such action does not result in the loss of a tax deduction of the compensation attributable to the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

(e)Termination of Recipient's Employment due to Death or Disability. In the event that the Recipient's continuous service terminates prior to the Time-Vesting Date in connection with (i) the Recipient's death or (ii) the Recipient's Disability, [then a pro rata number] [or (as such term is defined in the Recipient's employment agreement dated [date of employment agreement] (the "Recipient's Employment Agreement")), then all] [then none] of shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall be immediately and fully vested as of the date of such death or termination of employment, as the case may be, and shall, to the extent so vested, be delivered, subject to any requirements under this Agreement, to (x) the Recipient or (y) the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Recipient, or if the Recipient has not so designated any beneficiary(ies), or no designated beneficiary survives the Recipient, such shares shall be delivered to the personal representative of the Recipient's estate, as the case may be. [The pro rata number of shares of Restricted Stock that shall time vest under this Section 2(e) shall be equal to (x) [insert number of shares granted under this Agreement] multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the number of full and partial months following the Date of Grant during which the Recipient was employed by the Company and the denominator of which shall be [insert time vesting period in months].] [For the avoidance of doubt, if the Recipient's Continuous Service terminates in connection with his death or Disability, then the requirement to achieve the Performance Goals is immediately and irrevocably waived.]

(f)Termination of Recipient's Employment [due to] [or Other Than] a Termination [for Cause or] without [Good Reason] [or Cause, or due to Death or Disability]. In the event that the Recipient's continuous service terminates prior to the Time-Vesting Date due to a termination of the Recipient's employment [other than a termination of the Recipient's employment by the Company without Cause or due to the Recipient's death or Disability] [or (i) by the Company for Cause (as such term is defined in the Recipient's Employment Agreement) or (ii) by the Recipient without Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Recipient's Employment Agreement)], then all of the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited upon

such termination of continuous service and revert back to the Company without any payment to the Recipient. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to enforce on behalf of the Company any rights of the Company under this Agreement in the event of the Recipient's forfeiture of shares pursuant to this Section 2(f).

(g)Termination of Recipient's Employment due to a Termination without Cause [for Good Reason prior to [vesting date]]. In the event that the Recipient's continuous service terminates [prior to vesting date] due to a termination of the Recipient's employment by the Company without Cause [or by the Recipient for Good Reason], [[then [a pro rata number of shares] [or all] of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall immediately time-vest as of the date of such termination of employment, but shall only fully vest upon the achievement of the Performance Goal prior to [vesting date], and shall be delivered, subject to any requirements under this Agreement, to the Recipient within 10 days following the date the Performance Goal has been achieved] [then all of the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination of continuous service and revert back to the Company without any payment to the Recipient]]. [The pro rata number of shares of Restricted Stock that shall time-vest under this Section 2(g) shall be equal to (x) [insert number of shares granted under this Agreement] multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the number of full and partial months following the Date of Grant during which the Recipient was employed by the Company and the denominator of which shall be [insert time vesting period in months ].] For the avoidance of doubt, if the Performance Goal is not achieved prior to [vesting date], then all of the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited as of [vesting date] and shall revert back to the Company without any payment to the Recipient.

PERFORMANCE GOALS

The number of shares of Restricted Stock that may be earned will be determined based on the actual performance level achieved with respect to the following performance measures during the period from [●] through [●] (the “Performance Period”):

[Performance measure];

and [Performance measure] (collectively referred to as the “Performance Goals,” and each individual measure, a “Performance Goal”);

and may be more or less than the number of shares of Restricted Stock set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement.

The chart below sets forth the applicable weighting of each performance measure and the Performance Goals needed to be achieved at each performance level for such performance measure during the Performance Period:


Long-Term Incentive Plan:		Incentive Plan Payout (% Based on [●]% of Base Salary)

Performance Metrics	Weight	Threshold	Target	Maximum
[Performance metric #1]	[●]%	[●]%	[●]%	[●]%
[Performance metric #2]	[●]%	[●]%	[●]%	[●]%
[Performance metric #3]	[●]%	[●]%	[●]%	[●]%

* The number of shares set forth on the first page of the Agreement is the number of shares payable based on target level performance. The actual number of shares of Restricted Stock that will be earned with respect to the [●] performance measure is based on [●]. Each performance measure will be evaluated on a measure by measure basis, and once performance results are determined as to each individual performance measure, those results will be aggregated and the weighting applied. [When assessing each performance measure, actual performance level achieved between each performance level will be interpolated on a straight line basis rounded down to the nearest whole number]; provided that if the actual performance level achieved does not meet threshold performance (i.e., less than [●]%) for the applicable performance measure, then no shares of Restricted Stock will be earned for that performance measure pursuant to this grant. Threshold level performance may be achieved for one performance measure and not another based on the Company’s actual performance during the Performance Period. The actual number of shares of Restricted Stock earned will be determined by the Administrator based on the actual performance level achieved with respect to each of the applicable Performance Goals, factoring in the weighting for each performance measure. The maximum number of shares of Restricted Stock that may be earned pursuant to this grant is capped at [●]% of the number of shares set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement.
