The parties will cooperate to make all changes necessary to the Purchase Price and the Transaction Agreements in order to reflect a Closing with respect to such smaller number of Common Shares (the “Initial Closing”) as promptly as reasonably practicable. Within five (5) Business Days following such Initial Closing, the Issuer will have the right to elect to proceed with a second closing on the remainder of the Purchased Shares for the remainder of the Purchase Price, as promptly as reasonably practicable, after receipt of any remaining insurance regulatory approvals or non-disapprovals and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article IX, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article IX for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party.

(d) Assumption of Defense of a Third Party Claim. Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.04(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within thirty (30) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party to have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party (A) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim and (B) in connection with any claim where, based on the advice of outside counsel, a conflict in interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party exists. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment provides only for the payment of monetary damages (and does not impose any injunctive relief or otherwise impose any conditions or restrictions on the Indemnified Party) and does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or rights of any Person, admission of any wrongdoing, fault or culpability by the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities in

respect of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party is controlling a defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article IX and fails to defend diligently the action or proceeding after notifying the Indemnified Party of its assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, and the reasonable and documented fees of its attorneys will be covered by the indemnity provided for in this Article IX upon determination of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.04, the Indemnified Party (and not the Indemnifying Party) shall have the exclusive right to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim if (A) the Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the nature of the Third Party Claim is such that it would reasonably be expected to involve criminal liability being imposed on any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or (B) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party; provided that if such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that can be separated from a related claim for money damages, the Indemnifying Party may only be entitled to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim for money damages.

(e) In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.04(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX.

Section 9.05 Payment. In the event a claim for indemnification under this Article IX has been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party on demand in immediately available funds. Any claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority or arbitral body, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article IX when the parties hereto have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Governmental Order has been entered into with respect to such claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding.

Section 9.06 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, for all purposes (including Tax purposes), the parties hereto shall treat any payment made under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 9.07 Provisions. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article IX in respect of any Loss, if the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the claim or on which it is based is expressly accrued or reserved for in the Financial Statements.

Section 9.08 Exclusive Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, other than in the case of actual fraud by a party to this Agreement in the making of a representation or warranty herein or willful breach by any party hereto, (a) prior to the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer for any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV shall be, in the event that each of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 has not been satisfied or waived, refusal to close the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares and termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article X; (b) following the Closing, (i) the

indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the parties hereto for any breach of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of any party hereto to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the parties hereto for any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant.

Section 9.09 Damages. The Issuer and the Buyer agree that with respect to each indemnification obligation set forth in this Article IX or any other document, instrument or certificate executed or delivered in connection with the Closing, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have any liability to an Indemnified Party for: (a) any punitive damages except to the extent paid to a third party and (b) special, consequential or indirect damages, in each case, to the extent not the reasonably foreseeable result of any breach by the Indemnifying Party of a representation and warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement. For purposes of determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement has occurred, and for calculating the amount of any Loss under this Article IX, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard to any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty, other than the representation and warranty in Section 4.07(b).

Section 9.10 Right to Recover.

(a) If the Indemnifying Party is liable to pay an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and the Indemnified Party recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Party (in whole or in part) in respect of the Losses which is the subject matter of the claim, then the Indemnified Party shall take such actions (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense) as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to enforce recovery against the third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be required to act or forbear to act under this Section 9.10 if such act or forbearance, as applicable, could prejudice such Person’s ability to prosecute a claim against the Indemnifying Party or any right hereunder in the reasonable judgment of such party, as applicable.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party has paid an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and the Indemnified Party recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Party (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, then the Indemnified Party shall take such actions (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense) as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to enforce such recovery and shall, or shall procure that the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) any sum recovered from the third party in respect of such claim less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or (ii) if less, the amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

Section 9.11 Double Claims. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX for the same Losses more than once (notwithstanding that such Loss may result from breaches of multiple provisions of this Agreement).

(b) by either the Issuer or the Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”) or such later date as the parties may mutually agree; provided, however, that if the Closing has not occurred due solely to the failure of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.01(a) to be satisfied, the parties agree to extend the Outside Date for an additional ninety (90) days and continue to use their respective reasonable best efforts to satisfy such Closing conditions (such extended Outside Date, as so extended, shall be the “Outside Date” for all purposes under this Agreement); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 10.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to take any action required to fulfill any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date;

(c) by either the Issuer or the Buyer in the event of the issuance of a final, nonappealable Governmental Order from a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) by the Buyer in the event of a breach by the Issuer of any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained herein that would result in the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.03 not being satisfied, and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or, if curable, the Issuer shall have failed to cure such breach by the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Buyer requesting such breach to be cured and (ii) the Outside Date;

(e) by the Issuer in the event of a breach by the Buyer of any of the Buyer’s covenants, representations or warranties contained herein that would result in the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.02 not being satisfied, and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or, if curable, the Buyer shall have failed to cure such breach by the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Issuer requesting such breach to be cured and (ii) the Outside Date.

The initial press release with respect to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release in the form agreed by the Issuer and the Buyer and attached as Schedule 11.03. Thereafter, neither party to this Agreement or any Affiliate or Representative of such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by Law or applicable securities exchange rules, in which case the party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication.

Section 11.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced,

the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 11.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto), the other Transaction Agreements and any other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral (other than the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent not in conflict with this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements), between or on behalf of the Issuer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 11.06 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that, following the Closing, the Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, assign all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Permitted Transferees in connection with a transfer of Common Stock; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.06 shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

Section 11.07 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article IX with respect to the Buyer Indemnitees or the Issuer Indemnitees, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11.08 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the parties hereto.

Section 11.09 Schedules. Any disclosure set forth in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of other Sections of this Agreement to the extent that such disclosure sets forth facts in sufficient detail so that the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent to a reader of such disclosure. Matters reflected in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 11.10 Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) The Issuer and the Buyer each irrevocably and unconditionally submit for itself and its property in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the formation, breach, termination or validity of this Agreement or the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York, the federal courts for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing, and all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in such New York courts or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such federal court.

(b) Any such Action may and shall be brought in such courts and each of the Issuer and the Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Action in any such court or that such Action was brought in an inconvenient court and shall not plead or claim the same.

(c) Service of process in any Action may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 11.02.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the Laws of the State of New York.

Section 11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement, and the formation, termination or validity of any part of this Agreement shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict of laws principles.

Section 11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR ITS PERFORMANCE UNDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or cure any breach by the other parties of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement and to specifically enforce such covenants and obligations in any court referenced in Section 11.10(a) having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the other parties seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the party seeking an injunction will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 11.14 Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, in writing at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized Representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach.

Section 11.15 Rules of Construction. Interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) references to “$” shall mean United States dollars; (d) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including without limiting the generality of the foregoing,” unless otherwise specified; (e) the word “or” shall not be exclusive, (f) the table of contents, articles, titles and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (g) this Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted; (h) the Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein; (i) unless the context otherwise requires, the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (j) all terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein; (k) any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein or any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent, and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; (l) any statement that a document has been “delivered,” “provided” or “made available” to the Buyer means that such document has been uploaded to the Electronic Data Room (and thereafter remain posted in the Electronic Data Room at all times) not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement; (m) any statute or regulation referred to herein means such statute or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of any statute, includes any rules and regulations promulgated under such statute), and references to any section of any statute or regulation include any successor to such section; (n) all time periods within or following which any payment is to be made or act to be done shall be calculated by excluding the date on which the period commences and including the date on which the period ends and by extending the period to the first succeeding Business Day if the last day of the period is not a Business Day; (o) references to any Person include such Person’s predecessors or successors, whether by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, reorganization or otherwise; and (p) references to any contract (including this Agreement) or organizational document are to the contract or organizational document as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, unless otherwise stated.
