• Repurchase Rights If the Optionee for any reason whatsoever ----------------- (including without limitation death, disability, or voluntary or involuntary termination) ceases to be employed by the Company or Banyan Worldwide, or providing services on behalf of the Company or Banyan Worldwide, prior to the date specified in Section 8(d) below for the expiration of these restrictions, then during the 90-day period following such termination the Company may elect, by written notice delivered to the Optionee, to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares, at a price per share equal to the fair market value of such Shares as of the close of business on the date of termination of the Optionee's employment. Such fair market value shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and the Optionee. Failing such agreement between the Optionee and the Company within 30 days of the date of the Company's notice electing to repurchase such Shares, the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by three appraisers, one designated within five days after the termination of said 30-day period by the Optionee or his or her legal representatives (which appraiser shall not be the Optionee or his or her legal representative), one within said period of five days by the Company (which appraiser shall not be an officer, director or employee of the Company) and the third within five days after said appointment last occurring by the two appraisers so chosen. Successor appraisers, if any shall be required, shall be appointed, within a reasonable time, as nearly as may be in the manner provided as to the related original appointment. No appointment shall be deemed as having been accomplished unless such appraiser shall have accepted in writing his appointment as such within the time limited for his appointment. Notice of each appointment of an appraiser shall be given promptly to the other parties in interest. Any expenses relating to the appointment and service of an appraiser shall be paid by the party appointing such appraiser or, in the case of the appraiser appointed by the appraisers chosen by the Company and the Optionee, shall be paid by the Company. Said appraisers shall proceed promptly to determine the fair market value of said Share or Shares by agreement of any two of the appraisers, which shall be conclusive upon all parties in interest in such Shares. Promptly following such determination, the appraisers shall mail or deliver such notice of such determination to the Optionee and the Company.

• Repurchase Right (i) (A) At any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the execution of the Partner Agent Agreement, if the Partner Agent Agreement is terminated by either the Company or the Purchaser, for any reason, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the Shares currently held by the Purchaser for a price per Share equal to the lesser of (1) the purchase price per Share as provided herein or (2) the Current Market Price (as defined herein) of the Common Stock; and (B) at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the execution of the Partner Agent Agreement, if the Partner Agent Agreement is terminated by either the Company or the Purchaser, for any reason, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the Shares currently held by the Purchaser for a price per Share equal to the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such right of the Company may be exercised by providing a notice of repurchase (the “Repurchase Notice”) to the Purchaser not less than five business days prior to the date repurchase is to be made pursuant to this Section 4(e), specifying the date of such repurchase (the “Repurchase Date”) and the number of shares of Class B Stock to be repurchased. The Repurchase Notice having been so given by the Company, the aggregate repurchase price for the shares of Class B Stock to be so repurchased shall become due and payable on the Repurchase Date. (ii) For purposes of this Agreement: (A) “Current Market Price” per share of a security at any date herein shall mean the average daily Closing Price (as defined herein) of such security for the 20 consecutive Trading Days (as defined herein) preceding such date (subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event involving a change in such security); provided, however, that in the case of the Common Stock, where no public market exists for the Common Stock at the time of exchange, the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock shall be as determined by an independent investment banking firm experienced in the valuation of securities of property and casualty insurance companies and selected by the Company (at the Company’s expense); provided that, after receipt of the determination by such firm, the Purchaser shall have the right to select (at the expense of the Purchaser) a second such investment banking firm to make such determination, in which case the Current Market Price shall be the average of the two determinations; and provided further that such determination need not be made more frequently than once every six months and any determination shall be superceded by a good faith determination by the Company’s board of directors that shall be required if a material event reasonably likely to affect the value of the Common Stock (such as a placement of equity securities) should occur after the next preceding determination, whether by an investment banking firm or firms, or by the Company’s board of directors.

• Right of First Refusal (a) The Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option may be sold by the Optionee only in compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, and subject in all cases to compliance with the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof.

(c) The Optionee may transfer all or any portion of the Shares to a trust established for the sole benefit of the Optionee and/or his or her spouse or children without such transfer being subject to the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 7, provided that the Shares so transferred shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and no further transfer of such Shares may be made without complying with the provisions of this Section 7. (d) Any Successor of Optionee pursuant to Section 5 hereof, and any transferee of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7, shall hold the Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and no further transfer of the Shares may be made without complying with the provisions of this Section 7.

(c) The Company may, at any time within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of a Sale Notice, elect to purchase the Transfer Interests by giving written notice to the Holder, in accordance with Section 15, at a purchase price equal to the Offered Price (the "Purchase Price"). If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith. (d) Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in cash (by check) within sixty (60) days after the date of the Company's election to purchase the Transfer Interests.
