Xxxxxx (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advantage Insurance Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation (“Parent”); and

WHEREAS, each of the Company and Parent desires to retain the continuing services of Executive as its President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) as of the date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”), and Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Employer in such capacity as of the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment. Each of the Employer and Parent hereby agrees to employ Executive as the CEO, and Executive hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2. Term. The period of employment of Executive by the Employer under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three (3) years (the “Initial Term”). At the conclusion of the Initial Term, and each successive term thereafter, the Agreement shall be automatically renewed for an additional one (1) year term unless either party gives written notice of its intention not to renew the Agreement at least six (6) months prior to the automatic renewal date. The Initial Term and any successive terms shall be referred to collectively as the “Employment Period”. The Employment Period may be sooner terminated by either party in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.

3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as President and CEO of Employer and Parent. Executive shall have those powers and duties normally associated with the position of President and CEO of entities comparable to Parent and such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of Parent (including any committees thereof, the “Board”); provided that, such other powers and duties are consistent with Executive’s position as President and CEO and do not violate any applicable laws or regulations. Executive shall perform his duties to the best of his abilities and shall devote all of his working time, attention and energies to the performance of his duties for the Employer, except that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from maintaining his personal affairs or participating in civic and charitable contributions. If requested by the Board, Executive shall also serve as an officer and/or director of other subsidiaries or affiliates of the Employer for no additional compensation. While Executive may, periodically be called upon or requested to perform services for affiliates or subsidiaries of Parent and the Company, the Company at all times remains responsible for providing all compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement.

4. Place of Performance. The Employer’s principal place of business is San Xxxx, Puerto Rico. Executive will maintain a residence in Puerto Rico as necessary to perform his duties hereunder.

5. Compensation, Profits Interest and Related Matters.

(a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Executive an annual salary of not less than $150,000 (the “Salary”). Executive’s Salary shall be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. The Board shall review Executive’s Salary for increase (but not decrease) one year after the Effective Date based upon Executive’s performance of his duties for the Employer. Thereafter, the Board shall periodically review Executive’s Salary, consistent with the compensation practices and guidelines of the Company. If Executive’s Salary is increased by the Board, such increased Salary shall then constitute the Salary for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Profits Interest. During the Employment Period, Executive shall hold a non-voting, non-transferable, and revocable profits interest in the Company (the “Profits Interest”). Executive shall receive a Profits Interest allocation, to the extent available, of $300,000.

In the event that the Company is unable to pay the target amounts set forth for Profits Interest in Section 5(b) of this Agreement, Executive shall immediately be employed by Guarantor and shall be paid a base salary of $450,000 per year and have a target discretionary bonus amount of $450,000 per year, pursuant to Guarantor’s bonus schedule and practices. In such event, Executive shall be employed by Guarantor pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands, but shall continue to be a corporate officer of Parent and retain the title assigned to him by Parent and the Board. If necessary for Executive to relocate outside of Puerto Rico, Guarantor shall pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to such relocation.

In the event Executive’s employment is terminated other than due to the Executive’s death, the Company shall provide Executive with the payments set forth below and shall not be required to provide any other payments or benefits to Executive upon such termination. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 8 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment and that prior to receiving any such payments under this Section 8, other than the Accrued Obligations (as defined below) and reimbursement of reasonable expenses pursuant to Section 5(e), and as a material condition thereof, Executive shall, if requested by the Employer, sign and agree to be bound by a general release of claims (a “Release”) against the Employer and its affiliates related to all matters of any kind or nature between the parties including, but not limited to, Executive’s employment (and termination of employment) with the Employer in such form as the Board reasonably determines; provided, that, if Executive should fail to execute such Release within 45 days following the later of (i) Executive’s Date of Termination or (ii) the date Executive actually receives an execution copy of such Release (which shall be delivered to Executive within ten (10) business days following his Date of Termination and if not timely delivered, this release condition will be deemed waived by the Company with respect to payments under this Section 8), the Company shall not have any obligations to provide the payments contemplated under this Section 8; provided further, that such release shall not limit, release or waive Executive’s right to indemnification as provided for under Section 11 of this Agreement or otherwise by law or contract and, unless mutually agreed to by the parties, shall not impose additional restrictive covenants of the type provided for under Section 9 of this Agreement. Upon Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, upon the request of the Board, he shall resign any membership or positions that he then holds with the Employer or any of its affiliates.

(a) Termination by the Employer Without Cause or By Executive for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason:

(i) the Company shall pay to Executive: his (A) accrued but unpaid Salary earned through the Date of Termination and any accrued but unused vacation pay through the Date of Termination payable as soon as practicable following such termination in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, and (B) earned but unpaid Profits Interest under the terms of the Compensation Plan for years prior to the year in which the Date of Termination occurs payable in accordance with the terms of such plan (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”); and

(ii) commencing on the Severance Payment Date (as defined below) and provided Executive does not materially breach Section 9 of this Agreement following his termination in which case all payments under this clause (ii) shall cease, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to the sum of his annual rate of Salary and most recent 12 months’ cumulative Profits Interest received by Executive over the twelve (12) months preceding the Date of Termination (the “Severance Payment”) in substantially equal monthly installments. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Severance Payment Date” shall mean the 60th day following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board (or its delegate) determines in its discretion that the Severance Payments due under this Section 8(a)(ii) are “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and that Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, then such Severance Payment shall commence on the first payroll date following the six month anniversary of the Date of Termination (the “Specified Employee Severance Payment Date”) (with the first such payment being a lump sum equal to the aggregate Severance Payment Executive would have received during the prior six-month period if no such delay had been imposed). In no event will the last installment payment be made later than December 31 of the year following the year in which such Severance Payments are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 457A of the Code). For purposes of this Agreement, whether Executive is a “specified employee” will be determined in accordance with the written procedures adopted by the Board which are incorporated by reference herein; and

(iii) should Executive elect continuation of his health insurance benefits for himself and for his spouse and his dependents pursuant to any applicable continuation of benefits obligations of the Company, then the Company shall continue to directly pay the employer portion of the premium costs for the coverage associated with such election (consistent with the portion of health insurance premium cost that the Company was paying prior to Executive’s termination of employment) for a period of one year following the Date of Termination (the “Continued Benefits”);

(iv) the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive pursuant to Section 5(e) for reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to such termination of employment; and

(v) Executive shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Executive in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Employer, consistent with applicable law.

(b) Termination by the Employer for Cause or By Executive Without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause or by Executive (other than for Good Reason):

(i) the Company shall pay Executive, in accordance with the relevant payment provisions set forth in Section 8(a)(i), the Accrued Obligations;

(ii) the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive pursuant to Section 5(e) for reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to such termination of employment; and

(iii) Executive shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Executive in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Employer, consistent with applicable law.

(c) Disability. During any period that Executive fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall continue to receive his full compensation and benefits under this Agreement until his employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), the cash portion of which shall be off-set, on a dollar for dollar basis, by any insurance or social security payments made to Executive relating to such disability. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability pursuant to Section 6(b):

(i) the Company shall pay to Executive as soon as practicable following such termination, the Accrued Obligations, in accordance with the relevant payment provisions set forth in Section 8(a)(i); and

(ii) commencing on the Severance Payment Date, the Company shall continue to pay Executive, in monthly installments, his annual rate of Salary and Profits Interest for the lesser of (A) one year following the Date of Termination or (B) until such time as any Employer long-term disability benefit plan becomes available to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board (or its delegate) determines in its discretion that payments due under this Section 8(c)(ii) are “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and that Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, then such payments shall commence on the Specified Employee Severance Payment Date (with the first such payment being a lump sum equal to the aggregate severance payments Executive would have received during the prior six-month period if no such delay had been imposed). In no event will the last installment payment be made later than December 31 of the year following the year in which such severance amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 457A of the Code); and

(iii) the Company shall provide Executive, his spouse and his dependents with the Continued Benefits for the lesser of (A) one year following the Date of Termination or (B) until such time as any Employer long-term disability benefit plan becomes available to Executive; and

(iv) the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive pursuant to Section 5(e) for reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to such termination of employment; and

(d) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by his death:

(i) the Company shall pay to Executive’s beneficiary, legal representatives or estate, as the case may be, the Accrued Obligations, in accordance with the relevant payment provisions set forth in Section 8(a)(i); and

(ii) the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive’s beneficiary, legal representatives, or estate, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 5(e) for reasonable expenses incurred, but not paid prior to such termination of employment; and

(iv) Executive’s beneficiary, legal representatives or estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and benefits as may be due to any such persons or estate in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Employer, consistent with applicable law.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. §1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. §1833(b).

(h) Non-Disparagement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will not defame or publicly criticize the services, business, integrity, veracity or personal or professional reputation of the Company and its respective officers, directors, partners, or executives thereof in either a professional or personal manner at any time during or following the Employment Period.

Such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Employer at law or in equity. Accordingly, Executive consents to the issuance of an injunction, whether preliminary or permanent, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Employer shall have the right to cease making any payments or provide any benefits to Executive under this Agreement in the event he breaches any of the provisions hereof (and such action shall not be considered a breach under the Agreement); provided, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitral forum determines that Executive did not breach his obligation under this Agreement the Company shall pay Executive any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 9(i) plus any interest thereon.

(j) Blue Pencil. If, at any time, the provisions of this Section 9 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter and Executive and the Employer agree that this Agreement as so amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

(k) EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS SECTION 9 AND HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ITS PROVISIONS WITH ANY ADVISORS AS HE CONSIDERED NECESSARY AND THAT EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT’S CONTENTS AND SIGNIFIES SUCH UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT BY SIGNING BELOW.

The parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to the employment relationship in general, this Agreement or the breach thereof, first in accordance with the Employer’s internal review procedures, except that this requirement shall not apply to any claim or dispute under or relating to Section 9 of this Agreement. If despite their good faith efforts, the parties are unable to resolve such controversy or claim through the Employer’s internal review procedures, then such controversy or claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration for resolution in San Xxxx, Puerto Rico in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association (or other mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution service) then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties, and any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the award. Each party shall pay its own expenses, including legal fees, in such dispute and shall split the cost of the arbitrator and the arbitration proceedings.

11. Indemnification. The Employer agrees that if Executive is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director or officer of the Employer or any other entity within the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Employer or any other member of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each such event, an “Action”), Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and authorized by the Company or the Company’s by-laws and/or charter, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expenses incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, except for willful misconduct or any acts (or omissions) of gross negligence by Executive. The provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply to proceedings or Actions brought on behalf of or otherwise instituted by the Company against Executive.

12. Successors; Binding Agreement. The rights and benefits of Executive hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by voluntary or involuntary assignment or transfer by Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the Employer, and the heirs, executors and administrators of Executive, and shall be assignable by the Employer to any entity acquiring substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar transactions.

13. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered either personally or by overnight, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, in the case of Executive, to the last address on file with the Employer and if to the Employer, to its executive offices or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. If, under such law, any portion of this Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any applicable statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, such portion shall be deemed to be modified or altered to conform thereto or, if that is not possible, to be omitted from this Agreement, and the invalidity of any such portion shall not affect the force, effect and validity of the remaining portion hereof.

15. Amendment. No provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, or waived unless such amendment or modification has been approved by the Board and is agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and an authorized member of the Board (excluding Executive), and such waiver is set forth in writing and signed by the party to be charged. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

16. Survival. The respective obligations of, and benefits afforded to, Executive and the Employer as provided in Section 9 and Section 11 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

17. No Conflict of Interest. During the Employment Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, render service, or undertake any employment or consulting agreement with another entity without the express written consent of the Board.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more-counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto in respect of such subject matter. Any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, including, without limitation, the prior agreement, is hereby terminated and canceled as of the date hereof.

20. Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.

21. Payment Currency. All payments due under this Agreement will be paid in U.S. Dollars.

22. Withholding. All payments hereunder shall be subject to any required withholding of Federal, state and local taxes pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

23. Representation. Executive represents and warrants to the Employer, and Executive acknowledges that the Employer has relied on such representations and warranties in employing Executive, that neither Executive’s duties as an employee of the Employer nor his performance of this Agreement will breach any other agreement to which Executive is a party, including without limitation, any agreement limiting the use or disclosure of any information acquired by Executive prior to his employment by the Employer. In the course of performing Executive’s work for the Employer, Executive will not disclose or make use of any information, documents or materials that Executive is under any obligation to any other party to maintain in confidence. In addition, Executive represents and warrants and acknowledges that the Employer has relied on such representations and warranties in employing Executive, and that he has not entered into, and will not enter into, any agreement, either oral or written, in conflict herewith. If it is determined that Executive is in breach of or has breached any of the representations set forth herein, the Employer shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause.

24. Section 409A of the Code and Comparable Statutes.

(a) It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that no payments under this Agreement be subject to the additional tax on deferred compensation imposed by Section 409A of the Code, or comparable statutes of Puerto Rico tax law. To the extent that the parties determine that Executive would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as a result of any provision of this Agreement, then the applicable provisions of Code Section 409A shall supersede such provision herein and such provision shall be deemed amended in the manner that, in the parties’ judgment, fulfills the intent of the parties and avoids application of such additional tax, and the parties hereby agree to promptly execute any amendment reasonably necessary to implement this Section 24. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer does not guarantee that any payment hereunder complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and neither the Employer, nor its executives, directors, officers, or affiliates shall have any liability with respect to any failure of any payments or benefits herein to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided, amounts payable under this Agreement, other than those expressly payable on a deferred or installment basis, will be paid as promptly as practicable after earned or vested and, in any event, within two and one-half (2½) months after the end of the first calendar year in which such amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Each payment made under this Agreement will be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

(d) To the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, “termination of employment” (or any similar terms) shall mean “separation from service” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) and the default presumptions thereof), and, only to such extent as may be required by Section 409A of the Code for the timing of any payments or the timing of any Release, “Date of Termination” shall mean the date of such a “separation from service.”

(e) With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

(f) In no event will Executive be permitted to elect the year of payment with respect to any compensation payable hereunder.

25. Directorships and Outside Interests. Executive is expressly permitted to serve as a director of unaffiliated corporate entities, including for-profit and charitable organizations, and to provide paid and/or volunteer services related to his directorship(s), provided the time and effort required of Executive to perform the duties of the external directorship(s) do not materially impair the ability of Executive to perform the duties set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

26. Review by Counsel. Executive represents and warrants that this Agreement is the result of full and otherwise fair faith bargaining over its terms following a full and otherwise fair opportunity to have legal counsel for Executive review this Agreement and to verify that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and enforceable. Executive acknowledges that he sought legal advice to the extent he deemed necessary and has read and understands the foregoing provisions and that such provisions are reasonable and enforceable. This Agreement has been jointly drafted by both parties.
