The aggregate purchase price for the Company Shares (the “Purchase Price”) will, subject to Sections 2.2(d) and 2.3 hereof, be as follows: (i) the GAAP book value of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the WC Reinsurance Transaction and disregarding any reserves for CIE Claims (the “Book Value”), minus (ii) DTAs of the Company (net of the DTLs of the Company), minus (iii) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, plus (iii) $2,000,000, plus (iv) any WC Renewal Rights Proceeds (in each case, as adjusted post closing pursuant to Sections 2.2(d) and 2.3). For purposes hereof, the Purchase Price calculation will be determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in a manner consistent with the example calculation (prepared based on the Company's preliminary unaudited consolidated balance sheet contained in its GAAP Financial Statement as of September 30, 2012 provided to Buyer on October 23, 2012) attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Purchase Price Calculation and Payment Methodology”).

(b)Purchase Price Payment. Subject to Sections 2.2(d) and 2.3 hereof, the Purchase Price payment will consist of the following: (i) the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock equal to the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount (which for purposes of Closing will be calculated as (A) the Holdback Reserves Estimate as of September 30, 2012, less (B) September 30 Holdback Reserves, plus (C) $2,000,000 (the “Estimated Buyer Preferred Stock Amount”)) divided by the Preferred Stock Share Price (the “Closing Preferred Shares”), plus (ii) if the Special Dividend has not been paid at or before Closing, the Buyer's Note (as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(c) below), plus (iii) any remaining portion of the Purchase Price will be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or account designated in writing by Seller (the “Cash Payment”). For purposes hereof, the manner of payment of the Purchase Price will be determined in a manner consistent with the example included with the Purchase Price Calculation and Payment Methodology. For purposes of Closing the amount of the Cash Payment will be estimated in accordance with Section 2.2(d)(i) (the “Estimated Cash Payment”).

(c)Special Dividend and Buyer Note. In accordance with Section 5.2(c), in the event the special dividend of six million dollars ($6,000,000) (the “Special Dividend”) requested by Gateway to be payable to Company immediately prior to Closing (followed by an immediate dividend of the same amount from Company to Seller) is not approved by the Missouri Department prior to Closing, Buyer will issue a note at Closing in favor of Seller in the amount of six million dollars ($6,000,000) less the portion of the Special Dividend (if any) actually approved by the Missouri Department (the “Buyer Note”) on the terms set forth on Exhibit D hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the amount of the Special Dividend, Buyer Note or combination thereof exceed six million dollars ($6,000,000) in the aggregate.

(d)Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(i)Within ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, but in no event less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to Buyer, a certificate of the principal financial officer of Seller that contains a reasonable good faith estimate of (A) a consolidated balance sheet of Company as of the Effective Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) setting forth the Book Value, DTAs, Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and WC Renewal Rights Proceeds estimated as of the Closing Date, (B) the Purchase Price calculation as of the Effective Date (disregarding reserves for CIE Claims), as (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) and (C) the manner of payment of the Estimated Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.2(b) at the Closing, including, the number of Closing Preferred Shares to be issued, identifying whether there will be a Special Dividend or Buyer Note and the amount of the Estimated Cash Payment, in each case, together with work papers in support thereof, which estimate will be prepared in a manner consistent with Exhibit C and will be, in all cases, reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

(ii)Not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to Seller (A) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) setting forth the Book Value, Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and WC Renewal Rights Proceeds as of the Effective Date (disregarding any reserves for CIE Claims), together with work papers in support thereof, which will be prepared in a manner consistent with Exhibit C (the “Closing Statements”), and (B) Buyer's computation of the amount (the “Closing Adjustment Amount”) by which each component of the Purchase Price, other than the DTAs (the “Final Closing Amounts”), exceeds or is less than the estimated amounts therefor set forth on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Amounts”).

(iii)Within sixty (60) days after Seller's receipt of the Closing Statements (the “Notice Period”), Seller will deliver notice in writing to Buyer of either (i) Seller's agreement as to the Final Closing Amounts and Buyer's computation of the Closing Adjustment Amount or (ii) Seller's dispute thereof (if any), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of its dispute (any such items in dispute, the “Disputed Items” and any such notice of the Disputed Items, the “Dispute Notice”). If Seller fails to deliver to Buyer a Dispute Notice within the Notice Period, the Final Closing Amounts and Buyer's computation of the Closing Adjustment Amount, if any, will be final and binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, each Party will cooperate and will cause its representatives to cooperate with the other Party and their representatives in good faith to seek to promptly resolve the Disputed Items. Any Disputed Items that are agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (such resolved Disputed Items, “Resolved Items”) within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Dispute Notice or such other time as is mutually agreed in writing by Seller and Buyer (the “Dispute Period”) will be final and binding on the Parties. If at the end of the Dispute Period, Seller and Buyer have failed to reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Items (such unresolved Disputed Items, “Remaining Disputed Items”), such Remaining Disputed Items will, within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Dispute Period, be submitted to the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert may consider only the Remaining Disputed Items and must resolve such Remaining Disputed Items in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Independent Expert will deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable and in any event within forty five (45) days after its appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of each Remaining Disputed Item, the resulting adjustments to the Purchase Price (taking into account the Resolved Items and its resolution of the Remaining Disputed Items), and its computation of the Closing Adjustment Amount. Except in the case of fraud the conclusions in such report will be final and binding upon the Parties. Each of Buyer and Seller will (A) bear all of its fees, costs and expenses incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with the resolution of the Disputed Items and (B) pay one half of the fees and costs of the Independent Expert.

(e)On or before the second (2nd) Business Day after Buyer and Seller agree (or are deemed to agree) to the Closing Adjustment Amount or Buyer and Seller receive notice of any final determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount by the Independent Expert, as applicable, (the “Settlement Date”) (A) Seller will pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer the amount by which the Estimated Closing Amounts exceeds the Final Closing Amounts or (B) Buyer will pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller the amount by which the Final Closing Amounts exceeds the Estimated Closing Amounts (either such payment, the “Closing Adjustment Payment”). The Closing

Adjustment Payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by, as applicable, Buyer or Seller.

SECTION 2.3 Other Post Closing Adjustments.

(a)Buyer Preferred Stock Amount Adjustments.

(i)Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Buyer will provide Seller with a statement of Effective Date Holdback Reserves and a Holdback Reserves Estimate as of the Effective Date (“Effective Date Holdback Reserves Estimate”). If the Estimated Buyer Preferred Stock Amount exceeds the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount, Buyer will cause the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock equal to the excess divided by the Preferred Stock Purchase Price to be cancelled on the books of Buyer. If the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount exceeds the Estimated Preferred Stock Amount, Buyer will cause to be issued to Seller on the books of Buyer the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock equal to the amount of such excess divided by the Preferred Stock Purchase Price. Any disputes by Seller with respect to the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount will be resolved by the Independent Expert in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(d)(iii).

(ii)Prior to the occurrence of an Optional Redemption or the Final Preferred Stock Adjustment Date, the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount and the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock held by Seller will be adjusted following December 31 of each calendar year as follows (and a final adjustment using the same process will be made on the Final Preferred Stock Adjustment Date, if an Optional Redemption has not yet occurred prior to such date):

(A)Within sixty (60) days following December 31 of an applicable calendar year, Buyer will provide Seller with a statement of any Loss Developments for the twelve months ending on December 31 of such calendar year, together with the amount of any Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease, if any, (each, a “Loss Development Statement”), together with any actuarial report supporting such Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease prepared by or for Buyer. Subject to any reasonable non-disclosure conditions required by Buyer's independent actuary, Buyer will provide Seller with data and information reasonably requested by Seller that supports such Loss Development Statement. Any disputes by Seller with a Loss Development Statement will be resolved by the Independent Expert in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(d)(iii); provided that in connection with any such dispute, Seller (at its expense) will be entitled to select an independent actuary (which selection will be subject to the consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) to review Buyer's actuarial report supporting the applicable Loss Development Statement; provided further, that if the amount of such Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease as determined by the Independent Expert is twenty percent (20%) less or more, as the case may be, than that indicated in the Loss Development Statement, Seller's reasonable expenses of retaining such independent actuary shall be paid by Buyer.

(B)In the event of any Loss Development in excess of the applicable Holdback Reserve therefor (a “Loss Development Increase”), the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such Loss Development Increase (the “Excess Amount”) and Buyer will cause the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock held by Seller equal to the Excess Amount divided by the Preferred Stock Share Price to be cancelled on the books of the Buyer.

(C)In the event of any Loss Development that is less than the applicable Holdback Reserve therefor (a “Loss Development Decrease”) the Buyer Preferred Stock Amount will be increased by $1.00 for each dollar of such Loss Development Decrease to the extent of any prior Loss Development Increase and thereafter $0.75 for each dollar of such Loss Development Decrease (in the aggregate, the “Decrease Amount”) and Buyer will cause to be issued to Seller on the books of Buyer the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock equal to the Decrease Amount divided by the Preferred Stock Share Price.

(iii)In connection with an Optional Redemption:

(A)If Buyer elects to exercise its Optional Redemption rights, it will provide Seller with no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof (an “Optional Redemption Notice”, and Seller will have the

right to elect, within ten (10) days of receipt of the Optional Redemption Notice, (1) that the Parties make a final determination of the amount of the Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease, as the case may be, based on a Holdback Reserves Estimate (a “Final Preferred Stock Adjustment Determination”) for purposes of determining the final number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock held by Seller on the redemption date, in which case the Redemption Payment will be paid to Seller in cash, or (2) to require the Redemption Payment to be made in the form of the Holdback Note.

(B)In the event that Seller elects a Final Preferred Stock Adjustment Determination, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause an updated Holdback Reserves Estimate to be delivered within thirty (30) days of such election. Within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement of the aggregate estimated Loss Development based on the Holdback Reserves Estimate and the aggregate estimated Loss Development Increase or estimated Loss Development Decrease, as the case may be, which will take into account any previous adjustments pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) (an “Estimated Loss Development Statement”), together with any actuarial report supporting such Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease prepared by or for Buyer. Subject to any reasonable non-disclosure conditions required by Buyer's independent actuary, Buyer will provide Seller with data and information reasonably requested by Seller that supports such Estimated Loss Development Statement. Any disputes by Seller with an Estimated Loss Development Statement will be resolved by the Independent Expert in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(d)(iii); provided that in connection with any such dispute, Seller (at its expense) will be entitled to select an independent actuary (which selection will be subject to the consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) to either (i) review Buyer's actuarial report supporting the applicable Loss Development Statement or (ii) prepare an actuarial report supporting the Estimated Loss Development Statement. Any estimated Loss Development Increase or estimated Loss Development Decrease as finally determined by the Parties or the Independent Expert will result in the cancellation or issuance of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with Sections 2.3(a)(i)(B) and (C) for purposes of determining the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock to be redeemed; provided further, that if the amount of such estimated Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is twenty percent (20%) less or more, as the case may be, than that indicated in the Estimated Loss Development Statement, Seller's reasonable expenses of retaining such independent actuary shall be paid by Buyer.

(b)Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities. After the Post Closing Adjustment Payment is finalized in accordance with Section 2.2(d), but not later than five (5) months after the Effective Date, Seller will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer, a reasonably detailed calculation, including supporting information, of the DTAs and DTLs of the Transferred Companies as of the Closing Date (the “Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs”), which DTA and DTL calculation will be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit E, as recomputed based on all of the facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to any tax elections actually made with respect to the acquisition of the Company (including, but not limited to, the Section 338(h)(10) Election, the election under Section 1.1502 36(d)(6)(i)(A) and the election under Section 1.848 2(g)(8)).

(i)In connection with Seller's preparation of the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs, to the extent that Seller does not have all relevant information in its possession, Seller and its Representatives will be permitted to review Buyer's work papers and any work papers of Buyer's independent accountants reasonably necessary for Seller's preparation of the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs, and Buyer will make reasonably available the individuals then in its employ, in order to respond to the reasonable inquiries of Seller; provided, however, that the independent accountants of Buyer will not be obligated to make any work papers available to Seller unless and until Seller has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(ii)During the thirty (30) days immediately following Seller's delivery of the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs (the “DTA DTL Review Period”), Buyer and its representatives will be permitted to review Seller's work papers and the work papers of Seller's independent accountants relating to the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs, as well as all of Seller's books, records and other relevant information relating to the operations and finances of the Transferred Companies with respect to the period up to and including the Closing Date, and Seller will make reasonably available the individuals then in its employ responsible for and knowledgeable about the information

used in, and the preparation of, the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs in order to respond to the reasonable inquiries of Buyer; provided, however, that the independent accountants of Seller will not be obligated to make any work papers available to Buyer unless and until Buyer has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(iii)Buyer will notify Seller in writing (the “DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the DTA DTL Review Period if Buyer disagrees with the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs. The DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement will set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute, the amounts involved and Buyer's calculation of such disputed amounts. In connection with Buyer's delivery of a DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement, Buyer may request access to information related to Seller's preparation of the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii). If no DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs will be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer and will become final and binding upon the parties hereto in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(v).

(iv)During the twenty (20) days immediately following the delivery of a DTA Notice of Disagreement (the “DTA Consultation Period”), Seller and Buyer will seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the DTA Notice of Disagreement.

(v)If, at the end of the DTA DTL Consultation Period, Seller and Buyer have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement, then Seller and Buyer will submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement (along with a copy of the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs marked to indicate those line items that are in dispute, if any) to the Independent Expert. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Expert, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Independent Expert will make a final determination, binding on the Parties, of the Proposed Final DTAs and DTLs. With respect to each disputed line item and/or calculation, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of Seller or Buyer, will not be more favorable to Buyer than the amounts advocated by Buyer in the DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement or more favorable to Seller than the amounts advocated by Seller in the Proposed Final DTAs. In connection with the Independent Expert's review, the Independent Expert may, pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(vi), request access to such information as may be required by the Independent Expert to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.3(b)(v). The DTAs and DTLs that are final and binding on the Parties, as determined either through (A) agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii) or 2.3(b)(iv), (B) Buyer's failure to timely deliver a DTA DTL Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) or (C) the action of the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(v), is referred to as the “Final DTA DTL Calculation.” For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, the resolution process set forth in this Section 2.3(b) will be the sole remedy of the parties with respect to all matters and calculations expressly included in the Final DTAs and DTLs, and will not be subject to any indemnification other than pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement.

(vi)The cost of the Independent Expert's review and determination will be shared equally by Seller and Buyer. During the review by the Independent Expert, Buyer and Seller will each make available to the Independent Expert interviews with such individuals, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Expert to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.3(b)(v); provided, however, that the independent accountants of Seller or Buyer will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Independent Expert unless and until such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(vii)The “Final DTA Adjustment” will be an amount equal to (A) the Deferred Tax Assets set forth on the Estimated Final Balance Sheet minus (B) the Deferred Tax Assets as set forth on the Final DTA DTL Calculation. If the Final DTA Adjustment is a positive amount, then no further adjustment will be made. If the Final DTA Adjustment is a negative amount, but the Final DTAs are greater than the Final DTLs, then no further adjustment will be made. If the Final DTA Adjustment is a negative amount, but the Final DTLs are greater than the Final DTAs, the Seller shall pay the Buyer an amount equal to the amount by which the Final DTLs exceed the Final DTAs. Any such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account

designated by the recipient of such payment within two (2) Business Days after the Final DTA Adjustment becomes such in accordance with this Section 2.3(b)(vii), with no interest due thereon. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(vii) will be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(viii)For no longer than twenty (20) years following the Closing, within ninety (90) days following the filing of any annual U.S. federal or state income tax return for the Company or any U.S. federal income tax return which includes the Company or Gateway, Buyer will deliver a written notice (an “Annual DTA DTL Notice”) describing any Tax savings actually realized on such return with respect to any specific DTA, as set forth in the Final DTAs and DTLs, utilized on such return (“Annual Tax Savings”), and any Tax cost incurred on such return with respect to any specific DTL set forth in the Final DTAs and DTLs (“Annual Tax Cost”). The Annual DTA-DTL notice will include appropriate supporting documentation and Seller will be entitled to speak to Buyer's accountant to determine the accuracy of the Annual DTA-DTL Notice. If the Annual Tax Savings exceeds the Annual Tax Cost, Buyer will pay to Seller, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual DTA DTL Notice, an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such excess. Any such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the recipient of such payment within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by Seller of the Annual DTA DTL Notice. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(vii) will be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. For the purposes of this paragraph, Buyer will apply DTAs to reduce its taxable income once its current deferred tax assets are used and before the Buyer applies any other deferred tax assets resulting from future transactions, and will use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to use and realize the value of any outstanding DTAs.

Each of the Transaction Agreements to which Buyer is a party has been, or upon execution and delivery thereof, will be, duly executed and delivered by Buyer. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto or thereto, each of the Transaction Agreements to which Buyer is a party constitutes, or upon execution and delivery thereof will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject in each case to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditor's rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b)Preferred Stock. All of the shares of Buyer Preferred Stock to be issued at the Closing are duly authorized and will at the Closing be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and clear of all Liens and Preemptive Rights.

(c)Non Contravention; Consents.

(i)Except as set forth in Section 3.2(c)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, (A) conflict with any of the provisions of its Constituent Documents; or (B) subject to the matters referred to in Section 3.2(c)(ii), materially contravene any Requirements of Law applicable to Buyer.

(ii)No consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Entity is required to be made by Buyer in connection with the execution and delivery of any Transaction Agreement by Buyer to which it is a party or the consummation by Buyer of any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for (A) the approvals, filings and notices required under the Insurance Laws of the State of Missouri or any other state where the Company is licensed to transact insurance; (B) those consents, approvals, authorizations, declarations, filings or notices set forth in Section 3.2(c)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule and (C) such other consents, approvals, authorizations, declarations, filings or notices which the failure to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

(d)Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any brokers', finders', financial advisors' or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, except those for which Buyer will be solely responsible.

(c)The Parties acknowledge that they do not anticipate that Seller's holding of Buyer Preferred Stock will be considered an acquisition of “control” of Buyer for Insurance Law purposes; provided, however, if prior to the issuance of the Buyer Preferred Stock to Seller, an applicable Governmental Entity deems that Seller is acquiring “control” of Buyer under applicable Insurance Laws, then Buyer agrees to reduce the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock to be issued to Seller to such extent, and only to such extent, that Seller would not be considered to “control” Buyer for Insurance Law purposes, and Buyer shall issue to Seller a note at Closing in the form and following the terms of the Holdback Note in an amount equal to the Preferred Stock Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares by which the number of shares of Buyer Preferred Stock to be issued to Seller has been reduced.

From and for a period of sixty (60) months after the Closing, Seller plus, prior to Closing the Transferred Companies), on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies after Closing), on the other hand, will, and will cause their respective representatives to, maintain in confidence any written, oral or other information relating to or obtained from the other party or its Affiliates, except that the foregoing requirements of this Section 4.11(b) will not apply to the extent that (i) any such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than (A) in the case of Buyer's confidential information, as a result of disclosure by Seller or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives and (B) in the case of Seller's confidential information, as a result of disclosure by Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives, (ii) any such information is required by applicable Law, Order or a Governmental Entity to be disclosed on a non-confidential basis after prior notice has been given to the other parties (including any report, statement, testimony or other submission to such Governmental Entity), (iii) any such information is reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with any Action or in any dispute with respect to the Transaction Agreements (including in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding), or(iv) any such information was or becomes available to such party on a non confidential basis and from a source (other than a party to this Agreement or any Affiliate or representative of such party) that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information. Each of the parties hereto will instruct its Affiliates and Representatives having access to such information of such obligation of confidentiality.

(b)Covenant Not to Compete. From the date hereof through the date that is sixty (60) months following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor its Affiliates may directly or indirectly as a partner, joint venturer, employer, consultant, shareholder, principal, manager, agent or otherwise, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business, whether in corporate, limited liability company or partnership form or otherwise, which in any way engages in North America in any business which competes with the Taxi and Limo Program business of the Transferred Companies as conducted as of the date hereof; provided, however, that this covenant not to compete does not apply to any captive insurance company or other similar insurance arrangement that provides insurance or reinsurance to or for the benefit of Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that the foregoing will not in any way prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from (i) operating the

businesses conducted by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the business conducted by the Transferred Companies) as of the date hereof, including but not limited to the insurance agency and insurance brokerage businesses of Seller and its Affiliates, (ii) acquiring or starting a business that is engaged in the insurance agency, brokerage or related business, other than an insurance company; provided that if Seller or any of its Affiliates makes such an acquisition, then Seller will provide notice thereof to Buyer and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with an opportunity to have discussions with such acquired business with respect to providing services to such business, (iii) operating the WC Program business, (iv) being a passive owner of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation engaged in the business conducted by the Company as of the date hereof, or (v) operating a business competitive to that of the Truck Program. The foregoing covenant will not apply to an Affiliate of Seller after consummation of a change of control of such Affiliate (whether by sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise) after which Seller (or any of its Affiliates) no longer controls such Affiliate), so long as such Affiliate is not in possession of any confidential information of either of the Transferred Companies relating to the Taxi and Limo Program.

(c)Non Solicitation. From the date hereof through the date that is thirty-six (36) months following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor its Affiliates may directly or indirectly (i) employ or solicit any employee of the Transferred Companies in any capacity whatsoever or (ii) contract with or solicit any customer of the Taxi and Limo Program business of Gateway as of the date hereof without the express written consent of Buyer; provided, that the foregoing limitations do not prohibit general, non targeted solicitations of individuals or customers or solicitations of customers or any solicitation unrelated to the business of the Transferred Companies.

In the event the covenants in this Section 4.11 are in any way found unenforceable or invalid or are in any way limited or reformed, such other covenants will not be affected thereby, and in the event any such other covenant is in any way found unenforceable or invalid or is in any way limited or reformed, the other covenants in this Section 4.11 will not be affected thereby.

SECTION 4.12 Board of Directors of Buyer. Buyer will consider in good faith, and endorse the election of if qualified, one nominee by Seller to the Buyer's board of directors, to be proposed in accordance with the Articles of Association of Buyer for inclusion as a nominee, at the 2013 annual meeting of the shareholders of Buyer and each following meeting so long as (i) the Buyer Note or Holdback Note remains outstanding or (ii) Seller continues to hold shares of Buyer Preferred Stock or converted shares of common stock of Buyer equal to at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of Buyer on a fully-diluted basis.

ARTICLE VI

SURVIVAL

All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive Closing solely for purposes of Section 7.1(a) and (b) and will terminate and expire at the close of business on the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date except (a) for those representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1(a) (Organization, Standing and Corporate Power), Section 3.1(b) (Capital Structure), Section 3.1(f) (Rights to Company Shares) and Section 3.2(a) (Organization, Standing and Corporate Power), which will survive for ten (10) years after the Closing Date and the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1(c) (Non Contravention; Consents) Section 3.1(o) (Brokers), Section 3.2(c) (Non Contravention; Consents) and Section 3.2(d) (Brokers) which will survive for five (5) years after the closing date (collectively, the “Special Representations”); and (b) for those representations and warranties in Section 3.1(g) (Employees; Labor Matters), Section 3.1(h) (Benefit Plans) and Section 3.1(j) (Taxes) (collectively, the “Extended Representations”), which will survive until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days past the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for actions against the Transferred Companies with respect to matters address in those Extended Representations, or (ii) the date that is ten (10) years after the Closing Date.

As used herein, “survive” solely means that a party can continue to make claims for representations, warranties or covenants that were in breach on the Closing Date (or, if different, the end time specified for such covenant), and does not mean that such representation, warranty, or covenant continues to be made as to periods after the Closing Date (or the applicable end period for a covenant, for covenants that specifically extend after the Closing Date)

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1 Obligation to Indemnify.

(a)Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, and the expiration of representations and warranties of Seller as provided in Article VI, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including, post Closing, the Company), and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any damages, losses, charges, liabilities, payments, judgments, settlements, assessments, deficiencies, Taxes, interest, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable out of pocket disbursements) (“Losses”) imposed on, sustained, or incurred or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, or otherwise, directly or indirectly resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:

(i)the inaccuracy or any breach of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement delivered by or on behalf of Seller at the Closing; it being understood that for purposes of this Section 7.1(a), any qualifications relating to materiality, including the term “Seller Material

Adverse Effect”, contained in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached or was inaccurate;

(ii)any breach or failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement;

(iii)any Taxes for which Seller is responsible in accordance with Article VIII; and/or (iv) liabilities and obligations of the nature and type specified in Section 4.8;

(iv)the Company, solely to the extent that such Losses are not related to the ownership or operation of Gateway and are not specifically reflected in the 2011 GAAP Financial Statements of the Company; and

(v)any CIE Claims, whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date.

(b)The rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) will be subject to the following:

(i)If the amount of any Loss suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by the Buyer Indemnified Party to Seller that has made any such indemnity payment. Buyer Indemnified Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from insurance policies or other applicable sources of recovery the maximum portion of any Losses of such Buyer Indemnified Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, Seller will, to the extent of such indemnity payment made by it, be subrogated to all rights of the Buyer Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the indemnifiable Loss to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that until the Buyer Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its indemnifiable Loss, any and all claims of Seller against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party's rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation and subordination rights.

(ii)Except as set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iv), the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a)(i) only to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses exceed on a cumulative basis Two Hundred Fifty Thousand dollars ($250,000) (the “Indemnification Basket”), after which point Seller will be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all further Losses in excess of the Indemnification Basket.

(iii)Except as set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iv), the maximum amount for which Seller will be liable in the aggregate under Section 7.1(a)(i) will not exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(iv)Notwithstanding Sections 7.1(b)(ii), 7.1(b)(iii) and 7.1(c), Losses in connection with or arising out of any breaches or inaccuracies of any of the Special Representations or Extended Representations will not be subject to the Indemnification Cap but will instead be capped (when combined with all other Losses) at an aggregate amount equal to the total amount of the Purchase Price and Losses in connection with or arising out of any breaches or inaccuracies of any Special Representations will not be subject to the Indemnification Basket.

(v)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the indemnification obligation contained in Section 7.l(a)(v), if, following the Closing, a valid CIE Claim is presented to Gateway or the Company, then the Seller, either prior to or within 30 days following the end of such fiscal quarter in which Gateway is required by SAP to establish a reserve for such CIE Claim, if the indemnity obligations of Seller are not eligible or sufficient to offset such reserves for SAP purposes, will provide collateral in such form and in such amount as is necessary for Gateway to treat such collateral as a subrogation recovery under SAP in an amount equal to such

uncovered reserves. The Buyer agrees to cause Gateway to establish and maintain such reserves as are reasonably recommended by the Seller.

(c)Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, and the expiration of representations and warranties of Buyer as provided in Article VI, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates (excluding, following the Closing, the Company), and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any Losses imposed on, sustained, or incurred or suffered by any of Seller Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, or otherwise, directly or indirectly resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:

(i)the inaccuracy or any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement; it being understood that for purposes of this Section 7.1(c), any qualifications relating to materiality, including the term “Buyer Material Adverse Effect”, contained in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached or was inaccurate; and

(ii)any breach or failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement.

(d)If the amount of any Loss suffered or incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by Seller Indemnified Party to Buyer. Seller Indemnified Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from insurance policies or other applicable sources of recovery the maximum portion of any Losses of such Seller Indemnified Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, Buyer will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of Seller Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the indemnifiable Loss to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that until Seller Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its indemnifiable Loss, any and all claims of Buyer against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to Seller Indemnified Party's rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Seller Indemnified Party and Buyer will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation and subordination rights.

SECTION 7.2 Indemnification Notice Procedures.

(a)A Person entitled to indemnification hereunder pursuant to Section 7.1 (an “Indemnified Party”), including pursuant to any Third Party Claim which might give rise to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1, will provide prompt written notice (the “Indemnification Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or demand that it may have pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, that in the event such Indemnification Notice relates to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will provide an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto within fifteen (15) days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of written notice of such Third Party Claim. Any delay in delivering an Indemnification Notice will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been materially prejudiced as a result of such delay. An Indemnification Notice will contain a brief summary of the facts underlying or related to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party and true, correct and complete copies of any correspondence, notices or pleadings (if a Third Party Claim); provided, that an Indemnification Notice need not state the amount of Losses that the Indemnified Party believes it has incurred or suffered relating to such claim. The Indemnified Party will use, and will cause each of its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses upon and after becoming aware of any facts, matters, failures or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary in no event will any Party be liable to the other Party for consequential or punitive damages arising under this Agreement.

(b)At any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered an Indemnification Notice, such Indemnified Party in his, her or its discretion may supplement or amend such Indemnification Notice by delivery of any correspondence, notice or other information relating to the claim covered by the original Indemnification Notice. In addition, at any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered a Indemnification Notice with respect to a claim other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party in its discretion may deliver a notice which attaches the original Indemnification Notice, sets forth a summary in reasonable detail of the facts underlying or relating to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, includes a statement demanding indemnification from the Indemnified Party and includes a statement of the amount of Losses for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification at that time (a “Demand Notice”). The Indemnifying Party will have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date on which the Indemnified Party delivers a Demand Notice during which to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of any objections it has to the Indemnified Party's notice or claims for indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver such written notice of objection to such Demand Notice within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice. If the Indemnifying Party accepts the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice, it will have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of acceptance to pay such claim and if the Indemnifying Party rejects the claim, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to initiate an Action to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party will have no right to participate in or control any claim that is not a Third Party Claim.

SECTION 7.3 Third Party Claims.

(a)The Indemnified Party agrees to give the Indemnifying Party notice in writing of the assertion of any claim or demand made by, or any other Action instituted by, any Person not a Party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 7.1 in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in Section 7.2; provided, however, that any delay in delivering any Indemnification Notice will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been materially prejudiced as a result of such delay. From and after the delivery of a Indemnification Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, true, correct and complete copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. Any CIE Claim shall be considered a Third Party Claim for purposes of the procedures set forth in this Section 7.3, it being the intent of the parties that Seller will assume the defense and settlement of any CIE Claim; provided that in such event, Seller will use reasonable best efforts not to create any bad faith exposure for Buyer, and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any such exposure is created that results in Losses to any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, Seller will indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties for such Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii).

(b)(i)With respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so elects, to assume the defense thereof, unless such Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party and/or the Indemnified Party's Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages. Unless the Indemnified Party will have notified the Indemnifying Party of the existence of the condition set forth in the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Indemnification Notice as may be required by any Governmental Entity, any court or arbitration proceedings, or any regulatory inquiry or investigation) from receipt of the Indemnification Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim (the “Defense Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. All Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to any assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the defense of a Third Party Claim will be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from, against and in respect of Losses incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party to the extent arising from such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Defense Notice Period that it elects to defend such Third Party Claim, it will have the right to so defend at its expense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense thereof, including the opportunity to participate in any discussions or correspondence with any Governmental Entity, and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the

Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will participate in any such defense at its own expense unless (A) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and a Governmental Entity, arbitrator or arbitration panel, as applicable, with jurisdiction over the proceedings at issue will have determined that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or the availability to the Indemnified Party of one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof or (B) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, and in the case of (A) or (B), all such expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Each Party will reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include the retention and, upon the Indemnifying Party's request, the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(ii)In the event the Indemnifying Party (x) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise; (y) is not entitled to defend the Third Party Claim as a result of the Indemnified Party's election to defend the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7.3(b)(i); or (z) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in a reasonably diligent manner within twenty (20) days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party will have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification for such Third Party Claim will not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(iii)Whether or not the Indemnifying Party will have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of judgment, admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of applicable Requirements of Law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (B) there is no imposition of an Order that could restrict the future activity of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates; and (C) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are concurrently paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and a full and complete release is provided to the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates.

SECTION 7.4 Survival. The indemnities provided in this Agreement will survive the Closing; provided, however, that the indemnities provided under Section 7.1(a)(i) and Section 7.1(b)(i) will terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Article VI, except as to any item as to which the Indemnified Party will have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously delivered an Indemnification Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 7.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery by the Indemnified Party of one or more supplements or amendments to an Indemnification Notice or of a Demand Notice as contemplated by Section 7.2(b) will not be (a) deemed the delivery of a new Indemnification Notice or the revocation of the original Indemnification Notice for purposes of this Section 7.4; and (b) will not alter or undermine the timeliness of the original Indemnification Notice for purposes of Section 7.2(a).

SECTION 7.5 Indemnification Payments; Characterization. All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to this Article VII or Article VIII will be (a) made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the relevant indemnified party and (b) treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent such characterization is proper and permissible under applicable Requirements of Law.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

SECTION 8.1 Tax Indemnity.

(a)Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Taxes imposed on the Transferred Companies for any Pre Closing Tax Years, except to the extent such Taxes have been properly reserved for on the books of the appropriate Transferred Company(ies) as of the Closing Date or the liability for such Taxes is otherwise disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule hereto; provided, however, that Seller will have no liability to Buyer hereunder until such Taxes impose Tax liability on the Transferred Companies in excess of DTAs less DTLs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Tax-related liability requires Buyer to make a cash payment in respect thereof, the forgoing indemnification by Seller in this Section will apply in full force, provided, however, that if such Tax-related liability generates a Tax credit for use with respect to the same year with respect to which the cash payment is due or any prior year, then the foregoing indemnification by Seller in this Section will apply in full force only to the extent that such Tax-related liability exceeded any such Tax credit; provided, further, without duplication of any effect of the treatment of DTAs and DTLs under Section 2.3(b) hereof, that if such Tax-related liability generates a Tax credit that is used in any future year, the Buyer will make a cash payment to Seller in respect thereof when it is used. With respect to any Tax liability that did not give rise to indemnity solely because it did not exceed the total DTAs less total DTLs, the DTAs thereafter will be deemed reduced in the amount of such liability, and no amount shall be due or payable with respect to the amount of DTAs reduced at such time or any time thereafter under Section 2.3(b)(viii) hereof. Buyer will be liable for and will indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against (A) any and all Taxes imposed on the Transferred Companies for any Post Closing Tax Years and (B) any Taxes imposed on the Transferred Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Years to the extent such Taxes are reserved on the books of the appropriate Transferred Company(ies) as of the Closing Date or are otherwise disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule hereto.

(b)For purposes of determining the liability of Seller and Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1(a) with respect to Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) that are payable for a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the Pre Closing Tax Years will be in the case of (i) Taxes imposed on a periodic basis or otherwise measured by the level of any item deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period irrespective of the lien or assessment date of such Taxes; (ii) Taxes imposed on or measured by income, gross receipts, wages, expenses or other similar periodic measures or imposed on sales, assignments or any other transfers of any property deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date (based on an interim closing of the books as of the Closing); and (iii) Taxes imposed on the basis of premium deemed equal to the amount which would be payable on the basis of the amount of the premium written as of the Closing. The portion of any Tax not allocable to the Pre Closing Tax Years in accordance with the foregoing will be allocable to the post Closing tax years.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) to the extent Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Transferred Companies) has paid estimated Taxes that are attributable to the income, gain, business or activities of the Transferred Companies and prior to the Closing Date Seller has not been reimbursed for such expenses and such estimated Taxes are actually applied to the Tax account of the Transferred Companies, Seller's liability for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of such payments, and (ii) Seller will not be liable for any Tax to the extent such Tax is reflected on the Closing SAP Balance Sheet.

SECTION 8.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(a)Seller will cause the Transferred Companies (at the expense of Seller) to prepare or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and file or cause to be filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns for taxable years that end on or before the Closing Date. With respect to any Tax Return for 2011 required to be filed or caused to be filed by Seller with respect to the Transferred Companies pursuant to this Section 8.2(a), Seller will (regardless of whether such Tax Return is required to be provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 8.2(c)) provide Buyer and its authorized representatives with a copy of such completed Tax Return and a statement certifying and

setting forth the calculation of the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return, together with appropriate supporting information and schedules at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Tax Return, and Buyer and its authorized representatives will have the right to review and comment on such Tax Return in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(c) below.

(b)Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed on a timely basis (i) all Tax Returns for the Transferred Companies for all Straddle Periods, and (ii) all Tax Returns for the Transferred Companies for all post Closing tax years. Tax Returns for a Straddle Period will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Transferred Companies' past practices, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. The liability for any Taxes set forth on a Straddle Period Tax Return will be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 above.

(c)With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed or caused to be filed by Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) with respect to the Transferred Companies (such Party, the “Filing Party”) and as to which an amount of Tax is allocable to the Party that is not the Filing Party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), the Filing Party will provide the Tax Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives with a copy of such completed Tax Return and a statement certifying and setting forth the calculation of the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return that is allocable to such Tax Indemnifying Party, together with appropriate supporting information and schedules at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Tax Return, and such Tax Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives will have the right to review and comment on such Tax Return, prior to the filing of such Tax Return and will provide to the Filing Party written notice of any objections it has with respect to such Tax Returns (a “Tax Dispute”) no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date when such Tax Return must be filed. In the event of any such objections the relevant Parties will in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute for a period of five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Filing Party was notified of the Tax Dispute; provided, that if such dispute is not settled by such date (the “Tax Dispute Date”) the Parties will submit all such disputed matters to an independent and mutually selected nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm (the “Tax Referee”), within five (5) Business Days after the Tax Dispute Date. The decision by the Tax Referee will be final and binding on the Parties with respect to how any such Tax Return should be filed. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the fees and expenses relating to the Tax Referee will be paid equally by each Party to such Tax Dispute. If the Tax Referee has failed to render a decision by the date that is three (3) days prior to the date on which the disputed Tax Return must be filed then such Tax Return will be filed in the manner consistent with the Tax Indemnifying Party's position; provided, however, that if the Tax Referee renders a final decision that differs from the position advocated by the Tax Indemnifying Party, such Tax Returns will be amended within a period not to exceed ninety (90) days after the Tax Referee's final decision to reflect the final determination reached by the Tax Referee and the Tax Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Filing Party for any additional Taxes that the Tax Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to Section 8.1.

(d)Payment of any amounts due under this Article VIII in respect of Taxes will be made: (i) except to the extent that there is a Tax Dispute or that a matter relating to Taxes is being contested with a Taxing Authority, at least five (5) Business Days before the due date of the applicable estimated or final Tax Return required to be filed by the Filing Party that reports a Tax liability for which a Tax Indemnifying Party is liable pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) with respect to a Tax Dispute or any matter relating to Taxes which are being contested with a Taxing Authority, within three (3) Business Days after the following: (A) an agreement between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, that an indemnity amount is payable; (B) a Final Determination having been made by a Taxing Authority; or (C) in the event of a Tax Dispute, a final determination by the Tax Referee. If liability under this Article VIII is in respect of an expense relating to the contest of a Tax matter, payment of any amounts due under this Article VIII will be made as of the time when the payment of the corresponding Tax is due pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 8.3 Tax Refunds. Rights and benefits relating to all credits or refunds of Tax liabilities of the Transferred Companies no matter how secured (including credits for overpayment of estimated Taxes) arising from or relating to any Pre Closing Tax Years or a liability for Tax for which Seller has provided an indemnity under

Section 7.1(b) will remain with and be for the benefit of Seller, and Buyer will pay to Seller the amount of any such Tax refund or credit against Taxes received by Buyer or by the Transferred Companies plus any overpayment interest accruing from the date the corresponding Tax liability was paid. However, to the extent that a credit or a Tax refund of a Tax arising from or relating to any Pre Closing Tax Years is attributable to the carryback of a Post Closing Tax Year Tax attribute, such Tax Refund or credit will be the property of Buyer.

SECTION 8.4 Tax Notice; Tax Controversies. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will provide to each other notice within five (5) Business Days of receipt of any notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Claim”) in which a Taxing Authority makes or proposes to make a Tax adjustment to any Tax period which includes any period up to and including the Closing Date. Seller will control the conduct of any Tax Claim that: (i) could adversely affect the Taxes of Seller or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) could result in Seller being liable for any amount of Taxes or losses related thereto, either under the Law or pursuant to this Agreement (a “Seller Tax Claim”), but only to the extent that such Seller Tax Claim is severable from other Tax Claims which are not Seller Tax Claims. Buyer will control all other proceedings. With respect to any Tax Claim, the Party not controlling the proceeding of such Tax Claim or its representative will (to the extent permitted by Law) have the right, at its expense, to participate in any such Tax Claim. The Parties agree that they will not settle, compromise or agree to any Tax adjustment which affects or could affect any other Party's Tax liability without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that Seller will have the right to settle or compromise any such proceedings without the consent of Buyer to the extent such settlement or compromise will not adversely affect the Tax liability of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof (including the Transferred Companies) after the Closing Date, and Buyer will have the right to settle or compromise any such proceedings without the consent of Seller to the extent such settlement or compromise will not adversely affect the Tax liability of Seller or any Affiliate thereof prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 8.5 Cooperation and Controversies.

(a)Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will reasonably cooperate, and will cause their respective Affiliates, agents, auditors, representatives, officers and employees reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund), including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and with respect to any Tax Claim, which cooperation will include but not be limited to (i) providing all relevant information that is available to Buyer, Seller and/or the Transferred Companies, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax Claim; (ii) making personnel available at reasonable times; and (iii) preparation of responses to requests for information; provided, that the foregoing will be done in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business by Buyer, Seller or the Transferred Companies, as the case may be. None of Seller or Buyer or the Transferred Companies will dispose of any Tax Returns, Tax schedules, Tax work papers or any books or records unless it first offers in writing to the other Parties the right to take possession of such materials at the sole expense of such Party or Parties that accept that offer, and if any other such Party fails to accept such offer within fifteen (15) Business Days of the offer being made or if an offer is accepted and the offeree fails to take possession within thirty (30) Business Days of the date on which the offer is made. Any information obtained under this Section 8.5 will be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or with respect to any Tax Claim.

(b)Within 180 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Transferred Companies to prepare and provide to Seller a package of Tax information materials, including, without limitation, schedules and work papers (the “Tax Package”) required by Seller to enable Seller to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and upon Seller's reasonable request, Buyer will provide to Seller any additional information that may be requested by Seller. The Tax Package will be prepared in good faith in a manner consistent with past practice.

SECTION 8.6 Transfer Taxes. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will each be liable for and will hold the other harmless against one half of any Real Property transfer, sales, use, transfer, stock transfer, and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees, and any similar Taxes which become payable as a

result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). Buyer or Seller, as appropriate, will execute and deliver all instruments and certificates necessary to enable the other Party to comply with any filing requirements relating to any such Transfer Taxes.

SECTION 8.7 Code Section 338(h)(10) Election.

Neither party hereto will make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any corresponding elections under applicable foreign, state or local tax law (individually and collectively a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 10.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement will be interpreted and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws principles that would require application of the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Illinois.

SECTION 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same instrument and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. Each counterpart may be delivered by facsimile transmission or e mail (as a .pdf, .tif or similar uneditable attachment), which transmission will be deemed delivery of an originally executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 10.11 Attorney's Fees. The prevailing Party in any litigation or arbitration relating to this Agreement will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the other Party; provided, however, that nothing herein will require the adjudicator to determine that either Party is the prevailing Party.
