| Date of Grant: | ||||||
| Name of Holder: | ||||||

| Fair Market Value: | $ per Share | |||||
| Vesting Schedule: |
Patriot Risk Management, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby awards to the Holder (the “Holder”) the number
of shares of the presently authorized but unissued Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, of the
Company (the “Restricted Stock”) set forth above pursuant to the Patriot Risk Management, Inc. 2010
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
To the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, the terms and
conditions of the Restricted Stock granted hereby shall be governed by this Restricted Stock
Agreement (the “Agreement”) as follows:
1. No Right to Continued [Director/Employee] Status.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Holder the right to the continuation of his
or her [Director/Employee] status, or interfere with the right of the Company, a member of the
Company Group, or its stockholders, as applicable, to terminate such relationship.
2. Vesting of Restricted Stock
The Restricted Stock shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth above if the
Holder remains a [Director/Employee] of the Company or a member of the Company Group on each
vesting date. Upon a Holder’s Termination of Service due to Retirement, Disability or death, all
unvested Restricted Stock held by such Holder shall immediately vest. If the Holder has a
Termination of Service and such termination event does not result in accelerated vesting of the
Restricted Stock, the unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited without consideration. In the
event of a Change in Control, all unvested Restricted Stock shall become immediately vested.
In the event that the Holder has become obligated to return all or a portion of his or her shares
of Restricted Stock to the Company due to a forfeiture of such shares pursuant to this Agreement,
and the Holder shall fail to deliver the certificates representing such shares in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Company may, at its option,
in addition to all other remedies it may have, upon written notice to the Holder cancel on its
books the certificates representing the shares to be returned to the Company and thereupon all of
the rights of the Holder in and to said shares shall terminate. The Company shall not be obligated
to give notice to any holder of shares of Restricted Stock if such holder does not appear on the
stock transfer ledger of the Company as the registered holder of such shares.
3. Retention of Certificates
The certificate(s) representing the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereby will be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with the legend required by the Plan with respect to any applicable
restrictions on the sale or transfer of such shares, and the stock transfer records of the Company
will reflect stop transfer instructions with respect to such shares. At the election of the
Company, the Company may retain the certificate(s) representing the shares of Restricted Stock
granted to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement until such time as the vesting restrictions have
lapsed and the restrictions on the transfer of such Restricted Stock have terminated or are removed
by the Board of Directors. Within a reasonable time thereafter, the Company will deliver to the
Holder a new certificate representing such shares, free of the legend referred to herein. The
issuance of such certificate shall not affect any restrictions upon the transferability of such
shares pursuant to applicable law or otherwise.
4. Tax Election
Within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, the Holder may make an election with the Internal
Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. The parties agree that for such purposes the fair market value of the Restricted Stock
on the Grant Date is that amount per share set forth above.
5. Restrictions on Transfer
Any shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, whether vested or unvested, shall not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until such shares are fully vested. The
spouse of the Holder shall execute a signature page to this Agreement as of the date hereof and
agree to be bound in all respects by the terms hereof to the same extent as the Holder. The spouse
further agrees that should he/she predecease the Holder or become divorced from the Holder, any of
the shares of Restricted Stock which such spouse may own or in which he/she may have an interest
shall remain subject to this Agreement.

6. Dividends and Other Distributions.
The Holder shall be entitled to receive cash dividends or distributions declared and paid with
respect to shares of Restricted Stock. Any such dividends or distributions shall be paid within 30
days after the corresponding dividends or distributions are paid to stockholders.
7. Voting of Restricted Stock
The Holder shall be entitled to vote shares of Restricted Stock subject to the rules and procedures
adopted by the Committee for this purpose.
8. Notices
Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to be delivered upon receipt or, in the case of notices by the Company, five (5)
days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address last
provided for his or her employee records.
9. Agreement Subject to Plan; Applicable Law
This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan and shall be interpreted to comply therewith. A copy
of the Plan is attached hereto. Any provision of this Agreement inconsistent with the Plan shall be
considered void and replaced with the applicable provision of the Plan. This Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts therein. Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used herein that are defined
in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Restricted Stock Agreement as of the date
first above written.
