3.AUTHORITY OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISER.

(a)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and subject always to the individual Investment Guidelines attached hereto and made a part hereof which each Subsidiary may revise at any time upon prior written notice to the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser will have full and sole discretionary authority, on behalf of Fortegra and each Subsidiary, to manage and control the Accounts and to invest and reinvest the assets contained therein; provided, however, that the Custodian(s) will always retain custody of the assets as described in Section 4 below. Except as otherwise provided herein, when exercising its authority as set forth in this Agreement, the Investment

Adviser will be under no obligation to consult with or obtain the consent of Fortegra and/or any individual Subsidiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, provided such actions are consistent with the investment guidelines and restrictions (as may be delivered to the Investment Adviser by Fortegra and each Subsidiary from time to time, “Guidelines”) and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser is authorized with respect to the Account:

i.to buy, settle, invest in, hold for investment, sell, exchange, trade in, deliver and otherwise deal in any security, asset or instrument;

ii.to make all decisions relating to the manner, method and timing of investment transactions and to select brokers and dealers or counterparties for the execution, clearance and settlement of any transactions;

iii.to execute, in the name and on behalf of Fortegra and each Subsidiary, all such agreements and other documents (including, without limitation, settlement documents, but excluding any agreements with the Custodian) and to take all such other actions that the Investment Adviser considers necessary or advisable to carry out its duties hereunder in full compliance with the terms hereof, and to make representations and covenants on behalf of Fortegra and each Subsidiary in relation thereto that (A) with respect to such representations, the Investment Adviser determines are factually accurate and (B) with respect to such covenants, neither Fortegra nor any Subsidiary has notified the Investment Adviser in writing it is not permitted to make such covenant;

iv.to consult with Fortegra and each Subsidiary with respect to any settlement or compromise, or submission to arbitration, of any claims, debts, or damages, due or owing to or from Fortegra or each Subsidiary in relation to the Accounts or any assets held at any time in the Accounts and to take such actions as Fortegra and each Subsidiary may reasonably direct;

v.purchase, sell, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise deal in and exercise all rights (including but not limited to, voting and consent rights), powers, privileges and other incidents of ownership or possession with respect to assets of the Accounts and including the right to exercise options, conversion privileges, rights to subscribe to additional shares or other rights acquired with respect to the Accounts;

vi.consent to or participate in dissolutions, bankruptcies, reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, or other changes affecting the Accounts or any assets held at any time in the Accounts;

viii.to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Investment Guidelines, execute the purchase, sale or other transfer of securities or assets between or among the Accounts and other accounts managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates (a “Cross Trade”);

ix.to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Investment Guidelines as well as the regulations and requirements of applicable States regulators, execute agency cross transactions (collectively, “Agency Cross Transactions”) for the Accounts in accordance with the Investment Adviser’s or its affiliates’ policies and the Advisers Act. “Agency Cross Transactions” include inter-account transactions in which the Investment Adviser or its affiliates effect transactions for the Accounts and other accounts managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. “Agency Cross Transactions” also include agency cross transactions where the Investment Adviser or an affiliate acts as broker for both the Accounts and the other party to the transaction; and

x.to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Investment Guidelines as well as the regulations and requirements of the applicable States regulators, and so long as the disclosure and consent requirements of Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act are satisfied, execute principal transactions (collectively, “Principal Transactions”) for the Accounts and for the Investment Adviser’s or any of its affiliates’ own accounts, including, without limitation, to cause the Accounts to purchase securities or assets from or sell securities or assets to, the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates.

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing, Fortegra and each Subsidiary hereby appoint the Investment Adviser as their agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to do and perform every act necessary and appropriate to manage the Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. They represent that (i) they have full power and authority, under any applicable laws or other requirements, to appoint the Investment Adviser as provided in this Agreement with respect to themselves, and (ii) the Investment Adviser may rely on such representation to the fullest extent necessary to perform its services under this Agreement, and each will indemnify the Investment Adviser pursuant to Section 8 hereof as a result of any breach of such representation. This power of attorney is a continuing power coupled with an interest and will remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated, but for avoidance of doubt, any such termination will not affect any transaction entered into in accordance with this Agreement and initiated prior to receipt of notice of such termination; provided, that the Investment Adviser will use all reasonable efforts to terminate any such transaction if requested by Fortegra or any of the Subsidiaries.

(c)For all purposes, the Investment Adviser will be deemed to be an independent contractor and not an employee of Fortegra or any of the Subsidiaries, and nothing herein will be construed as making Fortegra or any of the Subsidiaries a partner or co-venturer with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates. The Investment Adviser will have no authority to act for, represent, bind or obligate Fortegra or any of the Subsidiaries except as specifically provided herein.

(d)The Investment Adviser is permitted to delegate any of its obligations or duties hereunder to any third party investment adviser (“Sub-Adviser”), provided, that the Investment Adviser will remain responsible for any and all actions or inactions of any such Sub-Adviser only to the extent that such Sub-Adviser is responsible to the Investment Adviser for the same and only to the extent that the Investment Adviser is otherwise liable under the terms of this Agreement.

4.OWNERSHIP AND CUSTODY OF ASSETS.

(a)The assets of the Accounts will be held in the name of Fortegra and/or the individual Subsidiaries in custodial accounts maintained by Fifth Third Bank, National Association, or one or more of its affiliates, or U S Bank, National Association, or one or more of its affiliates, or in the custody of such other bank, trust company, brokerage firm or other entity as may be selected by Fortegra and each Subsidiary and agreed to by the Investment Adviser (each, a “Custodian”) that qualifies as a “qualified custodian” as such term is defined under Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act and any applicable States regulations.

(b)Upon execution of this Agreement, Fortegra and each Subsidiary will direct each Custodian to accept instructions from the Investment Adviser as appropriate for the Investment Adviser to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, and will not, for the avoidance of doubt, direct any Custodian to accept directions from the Investment Adviser that exceed the authority granted to the Investment Adviser in this Agreement. Upon the Investment Adviser’s request, Fortegra and each Subsidiary will provide the Investment Adviser with a copy of each document containing its instructions or directions to each Custodian described in the foregoing sentence. Upon execution of this Agreement, Fortegra and each Subsidiary will direct each Custodian to provide to the Investment Adviser such information regarding the Accounts and transactions in relation to assets in the Accounts at such intervals, including daily intervals, as the Investment Adviser reasonably requests (“Custodian Reporting”).

(c)Ownership of the assets in the Accounts will remain with Fortegra and each Subsidiary, as such funds and assets are their exclusive property, held for their benefit and are subject to their control. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investment Adviser will have no authority hereunder to take possession of any assets of the Accounts or to direct delivery of any assets or direct payment of any funds held in the Accounts to itself and the Investment Adviser will not, under any circumstances, take possession, custody, title, or ownership of any of the assets in the Accounts (including, by taking “inadvertent custody” as a result of directing the

delivery of any assets or the payment of any funds to any third party other than in connection with settlement of a transaction on a “delivery versus payment” basis (or its substantial equivalent)). The Investment Adviser will not have the right to have securities or assets in the Accounts held or registered in its own name or in the name of its nominee, nor will the Investment Adviser in any manner acquire or become possessed of any income or proceeds distributable by reason of selling, holding or controlling any of the assets in the Accounts. Accordingly, the Investment Adviser will have no responsibility with respect to the collection of income, reclamation of withheld taxes, physical acquisition, or the safekeeping of the assets in the Accounts. All such duties of collection, physical acquisition, or safekeeping will be the sole obligation of the Custodians.

(d)If the Subsidiary is a regulated insurance company and is placed in receivership or seized by the insurance commissioner under the applicable State insurance law, all of the rights of such Subsidiary under the Agreement extend to the receiver or insurance commissioner; and, all books and records will immediately be made available to the receiver or the insurance commissioner, and shall be turned over to the receiver or insurance commissioner immediately upon the receiver or the insurance commissioner's request. The Investment Adviser has no automatic right to terminate the Agreement if a Subsidiary is placed in receivership, and the Investment Advisor will continue to maintain any systems, programs, or other infrastructure notwithstanding such seizure of a Subsidiary by the insurance commissioner and will make them available to the receiver, for so long as the Investment Adviser continues to receive timely payment for services rendered.

5.MANAGEMENT OF ASSETS.

A list of Fortegra’s and each Subsidiary’s representatives authorized to provide instructions contemplated hereunder to the Investment Adviser is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Exhibit B may be updated or revised upon written notice by Fortegra or any of the individual Subsidiaries to the Investment Adviser; provided, that any changes will not be effective until received in writing by the Investment Adviser.

The Investment Adviser may rely on the accuracy of the information set forth in Exhibit B unless and until notified to the contrary by Fortegra or any of the Subsidiaries.

8.LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

(a)Except to the extent that gross negligence or willful malfeasance on the part of the Investment Advisor or its respective members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Covered Persons” and each, a “Covered Person”), as applicable, has given rise to the matter at issue, such Covered Person will not be liable to Fortegra or any Subsidiary (or any of their members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives) for any act or omission concerning the Accounts. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to any gross negligence or willful malfeasance on the part of a Covered Person, a Covered Person will not be liable to Fortegra or any Subsidiary or any shareholder, partner, member or any ultimate beneficial owner of them for the amount of taxes, interest or similar or related governmental fees or charges imposed upon them or the Accounts by virtue of the Account’s activities. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8(a) is intended solely to limit the liability of Covered Persons and will in no event be interpreted to impose liability that would not exist in the absence of this Section 8(a).

(b)Except to the extent that gross negligence or willful malfeasance on the part of a Covered Person has given rise to the matter at issue, Fortegra and each Subsidiary, will, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, but subject to the express provisions of this Section 8, indemnify and hold each of the entities comprising the Firm and each of the Covered Persons harmless from and against any loss, expense, damage or injury (including reasonable attorneys fees) suffered or sustained by such Covered Person by reason of any actual or threatened claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding (civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) in which such Covered Person may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its actual or alleged management of, or involvement in, the affairs of the Accounts, including, without limitation, the

performance of any obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of Fortegra or each Subsidiary to advance payments in respect of their indemnification obligations under this Agreement to the Firm or a Covered Person hereunder will be subject to each applicable person agreeing, prior to receipt of any such payments under this Section 8, to promptly reimburse Fortegra or each Subsidiary for any such payments if it is determined that the Firm or a Covered Person engaged in gross negligence or willful malfeasance. The termination of any proceeding by settlement will not, of itself, create a presumption that gross negligence or willful malfeasance on the part of a Covered Person has given rise to the matter at issue.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing and with respect to whether a Covered Person has engaged in gross negligence or willful malfeasance, (i) a Covered Person will be deemed to have acted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful malfeasance with regard to any action or inaction that is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of an attorney appointed by or at the direction of Fortegra or any Subsidiary, accountant or other expert advisor so long as such advisor was selected with reasonable care and the Covered Person informed such advisor of all the facts pertinent to such advice or opinion, and (ii) no Covered Person will be responsible for any action or omission of an independent contractor, consultant, or other similar agent so long as such independent contractor, consultant or other similar agent was selected with reasonable care; provided, however, that, no Covered Person will be responsible for any action or omission of any Custodian, administrator or broker-dealer or any of their agents.

(d)The indemnification provided by this Section 8 will not be deemed to be exclusive of, or otherwise to diminish, any other rights to which any Covered Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise.

(e)The U.S. federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 8) will in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that Fortegra or any Subsidiary, as applicable, may have under such laws.

9.REPORTS; BOOKS AND RECORDS.

(a)The Investment Adviser will maintain appropriate books and records regarding the activities contemplated herein consistent with its duties under applicable laws and regulations and this Agreement. All such books and records for services to the insurance Subsidiaries are and remain the property of the insurance Subsidiary and are subject to the control of the insurance Subsidiary. All books and records pertaining to the Accounts shall be available upon reasonable notice at normal business hours for inspection and copying by Fortegra and any Subsidiary or any of their regulators.

(b)Upon request with respect to specific investments, to the extent not available from the Custodian, the Investment Adviser will provide Fortegra with all material and supporting information the Investment Adviser used for purposes of determining the value of any investments as of any date on which a valuation was

determined, including, without limitation, any broker quotations obtained by the Investment Adviser.

(c)The Investment Adviser will furnish Fortegra with the information required herein in accordance with the terms specified herein and any other information Fortegra reasonably requests solely in connection with the Accounts, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such request; including, without limitation, any information necessary to prepare any reports or filings required by any governmental agency.

(d)Expenses shared by the Accounts and other accounts or clients advised by the Investment Adviser will be allocated pro rata based on the assets under management of each such account or client, provided, that for purposes of determining the Account’s pro rata share of such expenses, any assets invested with Sub-Advisers shall be excluded from such calculation with respect to the Accounts.

(e)The value of investments held in the Accounts will be determined in accordance with the Investment Adviser’s valuation policies, procedures and guidelines, as are in effect from time to time. In any event, any investments in funds or other instruments issued by the Investment Adviser or any affiliates will be purchased and valued at fair market value.

(f)All valuations of assets in the Accounts for any purpose contemplated by this Agreement and all calculations of fees contemplated by this Agreement will be performed by the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser will provide to Fortegra and each Subsidiary on a quarterly basis, documentation showing the methods and sources for determining such valuations and calculations and any work-sheets showing how the valuations and calculations were accomplished.

(g)In the event that Fortegra or any Subsidiary reasonably disputes any valuation of assets or calculation of fees, it will notify the Investment Adviser within 30 days of its receipt of notice of such valuation or calculation (including receipt of any report or similar document that explicitly includes the calculation or valuation or implicitly relies upon the Investment Adviser having made that calculation or valuation), and the Investment Adviser agrees that it will consult with Fortegra and any applicable Subsidiary in good faith to discuss such valuations or calculations to their satisfaction within 30 days of the written request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fortegra understands and acknowledges that (x) the Investment Adviser may disclose in marketing materials or otherwise the performance and other characteristics of the Accounts or investments in the Accounts, whether aggregated with other clients or on a stand alone basis and that the foregoing will not restrict the Investment Adviser with respect to its operations as a sponsor, investment adviser, manager or in other similar capacities with respect to any portfolio investment of the Accounts and (y) the Investment Adviser may identify Fortegra or each Subsidiary by name as a client in marketing or other promotional materials and presentations but only after obtaining their consent to any such advertising.

(b)Fortegra and each Subsidiary agree and consent to the use by the Investment Adviser of electronic mail or, upon prior notice, a password protected Internet website (“Electronic Communications”) (in addition to regular mail or facsimile) to communicate with them or their designees, including, but not limited to, delivery of the Investment Adviser’s Form ADV and annual updates, confirmations, announcements, regulatory and other communications, including financial and other reports and statements.

Fortegra and each Subsidiary acknowledge that such documents may contain confidential information that is specific to their financial matters. Fortegra’s and each Subsidiary’s consents will take effect immediately and will remain in effect during the term of this Agreement; provided, that any of them may revoke its consent to delivery by Electronic Communications by so notifying the Investment Adviser in writing. In addition, all parties acknowledge that there are risks, such as systems outages and interception of communications that are associated with Electronic Communications.

15.SPECIFIC TRADING AUTHORIZATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS.

Unless otherwise directed by Fortegra or any of the Subsidiaries, the Investment Adviser may utilize the service of whatever broker, dealer, bank, futures commission merchant or other transaction counterparty as it in good xxxxx xxxxx appropriate with respect

to the Accounts (a “Counterparty”). The Investment Adviser may place orders for the execution of transactions for the Accounts with or through such Counterparty as the Investment Adviser may select in its best judgement and using its reasonable discretion. In selecting Counterparties to execute transactions, the Investment Adviser need not solicit competitive bids and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available commission, xxxx-up or other cost. However, the Investment Adviser will always seek to obtain best execution of trades for the Accounts, taking into account customary practices in prevailing markets for the particular types of investments being traded and the full range, quality and reliability of brokerage services. Factors that may be considered in selecting Counterparties to execute orders for the Accounts include, without limitation, the price, commission rate, size of order and nature of the transaction, the difficulty of execution and degree of skill required by the Counterparty and the Counterparty’s trading and execution, clearing and settlement capabilities as well as the research and investment information and other services provided by the Counterparty. The Investment Adviser will also consider such factors as the Counterparty’s financial stability and responsibility, reputation, reliability, ability to achieve prompt and reliable executions at favorable prices, operational efficiency with which transactions are effected, access to markets, ECN access, responsiveness, access to capital to accommodate trades, history in a security, ability to maintain confidentiality, depth of services provided (including research services and coverage) and back office and processing capabilities. The Investment Adviser is permitted to generate “soft” or commission dollars with respect to the Account, it is permitted to use such soft dollars for the benefit of both the Account and other accounts and clients it advises. To the extent that the Investment Adviser uses soft dollars generated by the Account to pay certain expenses that would otherwise be payable by the Account, it intends for such payments to fall within the parameters of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Investment Adviser will not be liable for any act or omission of any Counterparty. All transaction costs, including commissions, will be borne by the Account.

16.OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISER.

(a)The Investment Adviser will devote that amount of its time to the affairs of the Accounts that in its judgment the conduct of the Account’s business reasonably requires.

(b)Fortegra and each Subsidiary acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, the Investment Adviser will be permitted to bunch or aggregate orders for the Accounts with orders for other accounts advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.

(c)By reason of the investment advisory and other activities of the Firm, the Investment Adviser may acquire confidential information or be restricted from initiating transactions in certain investments. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Investment Adviser will not be obligated to divulge, or to act upon, any such confidential information with respect to the Investment Adviser’s performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement and may be prohibited by law or contract from doing so. It is

further acknowledged and agreed that (i) due to such a restriction, there may be certain investment opportunities that the Investment Adviser will decline, or be unable, to make, (ii) there may be circumstances in which one or more individuals associated with the Investment Adviser will be precluded from providing services to the Accounts because of certain confidential information available to those individuals or the Investment Adviser and (iii) the Investment Adviser is under no obligation to decline any engagements or investments in order to make an investment opportunity available to the Accounts.

(d)Fortegra and each Subsidiary acknowledge that the Investment Adviser may engage in Cross Trades, Agency Cross Transactions and Principal Transactions as may be permitted by law and further consents and agrees that the Account may invest in investments for which the Investment Adviser or its affiliates provide management and advisory services and receive fees from such investments and that will therefore be indirectly borne by the Account. To the fullest extent permitted by the Guidelines and the Advisors Act, Fortegra and each Subsidiary authorize the Investment Adviser to execute Cross Trades and Agency Cross Transactions for its Accounts.

(e)The relationship between the Investment Adviser, each Subsidiary and Fortegra as described in this Agreement permits, expressly as set forth herein, the Firm, to effect transactions with or for the Accounts in instances in which the Firm may have multiple interests, subject only to the Investment Adviser’s obligations set forth in this Agreement and applicable law (including the Advisers Act). In this regard, each Client acknowledges that the Investment Adviser may perform advisory services for other clients, and as such, the Firm and its partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (“Personnel”) may have multiple advisory, transactional and financial and other interests in investments that may be purchased, sold or held for or by the Accounts and persons that may issue investments that may be purchased, sold or held for or by the Accounts. In addition, the Firm may act as sponsor or general partner for pooled investment vehicles and other clients and may give advice, engage in transactions, and take action, with respect to any of those pooled investment vehicles and other clients. At times, these activities may cause the Firm to give advice to clients that (i) may differ from the advice given, or the timing or nature of action taken or contemplated, with respect to the Account or (ii) may cause these clients to take actions adverse to the interests of the Accounts.

(f)The Firm and Personnel may act in a proprietary capacity with long or short positions, in instruments of all types, including those that may be purchased, sold or held by the Accounts. Such activities could affect the prices and availability of the investments that the Investment Adviser seeks to buy or sell on behalf of the Accounts, which could adversely impact the financial returns of the Accounts. Personnel may serve as directors of companies the securities and/or assets of that may be purchased, sold or held directly or indirectly by the Account and any board compensation actually received by such personnel will be credited to the account of Fortegra. The Investment Adviser will provide notice to Fortegra and each Subsidiary to the extent that the Investment Adviser, on behalf of any proprietary account or any client account for which it has

discretionary authority, takes long positions where any Account has a short position or where it takes a short position where any Account has a long position, in any case, in the same security.

(g)Various potential and actual conflicts of interest may arise from the overall advisory, investment and other activities of the Firm and its clients. The Firm and Personnel may give advice, and take action (or refrain from taking action), with respect to any of the Firm’s client or proprietary accounts that may differ from the advice given, or may involve a different timing or nature of action taken, than with respect to any one or all of the Investment Adviser’s clients or accounts, and effect transactions for such clients or proprietary accounts at prices or rates that may be more or less favorable than the prices or rates applying to transactions effected for the Accounts. For instance, the Firm (and its Personnel) or its clients may invest for their own accounts or on behalf of other clients in securities that would be appropriate as investments for the Accounts, subject to restrictions as may be required by law and the Investment Adviser’s policies. Such investments may be identical or similar to, or different from, those made by or on behalf of the Accounts. The Investment Adviser may at certain times be simultaneously seeking to purchase or sell investments for the Accounts and any similar entity for which it serves as investment adviser or asset manager in the future, or for its clients and affiliates. Such transactions may be inconsistent with the activities undertaken by the Investment Adviser with respect to the Accounts.

(h)The Investment Adviser will allocate investment opportunities fairly and equitably pursuant to the Firm’s allocation policies and procedures. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser may be bound by affirmative obligations in the future, whereby the Investment Adviser is obligated to offer certain securities or other investment opportunities to clients or accounts that it manages or advises before or without the Investment Adviser offering those securities or other investment opportunities to the Accounts. The Firm is not required to accord exclusivity or priority to the Accounts in the event of limited investment opportunities. Furthermore, other clients of, or accounts managed by, the Investment Adviser may on occasion have different investment parameters and, for that reason, among others, be allocated opportunities to acquire or sell assets not offered to the Accounts.

(i)Nothing herein will prevent the Firm or Personnel from engaging in other businesses, or from rendering services of any kind to the Accounts and its affiliates or any other person, subject to the Advisers Act.

EXHIBIT B

AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES

The following individuals are authorized to provide instructions to the Investment Adviser on behalf of Fortegra:

Name Title Signature

B-1

EXHIBIT C

FEE SCHEDULE

1.The “Management Fee” for each calendar quarter shall be an amount equal to the sum of the Net Asset Value of each portfolio as of the last day of such calendar quarter multiplied by the applicable Management Fee Rate for such portfolio determined without taking into account any deduction for the Management Fee being calculated or any Incentive Fee accrued but not yet paid. For purposes of calculating the Management Fee Rate, portfolio investments shall be designated as belonging to one of the following portfolios: (i) Liquidity Asset, (ii) Credit Risk Asset and (iii) Equity and Alternative Asset. The “Management Fee Rate” means, with respect to each portfolio, one quarter of:

(a)With respect to the Liquidity Asset portfolio, as of such date of determination, 0.30% per annum with respect to the Net Asset Value of the portfolio up to and including $1.5 billion, 0.25% per annum with respect to the Net Asset Value of the portfolio in excess of $1.5 billion up to $3 billion, and 0.20% per annum with respect to the Net Asset Value of the portfolio in excess of $5 billion;

(b)With respect to the Credit Risk Asset portfolio, 0.40% per annum; and

(c)With respect to the Equities and Alternative Asset portfolio, 1.25% per annum.

2.The “Incentive Fee” for each Incentive Period shall be an amount equal to 20% multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Net Capital Appreciation in the Accounts with respect to the Equity and Alternative Asset portfolio exceeds the balance of the Loss Carryforward Account (determined prior to adjustments for such Incentive Period). For the avoidance of doubt, the Incentive Fee will be taken net of (i) the applicable Management Fee paid for such period in respect of the Equity and Alternative Asset portfolio and (ii) a pro rata portion of any expenses charged to the Accounts based on the Net Asset Value of the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio.

The “Loss Carryforward Account” is a memorandum account retained in respect of the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio the beginning balance of which will be zero. For each Incentive Period, the Loss Carryforward Account will be increased by the Net Capital Depreciation, if any, attributable to such Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio for such Incentive Period and decreased, but not below zero, by the aggregate Net Capital Appreciation, if any, attributable to such Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio (prior to any Incentive Fee) for such Incentive Period. In the event that a Loss Carryforward Account ends an Incentive Period above zero (after adjustments for such Incentive Period), the Investment Adviser will receive no Incentive Fee until such Loss Carryforward Account has been reduced to zero.

In addition, in the case of a withdrawal from the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio or termination of the Accounts other than as a calendar year end, the Incentive Fee shall be calculated and paid as of such date. For purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee in

C-1

the event of a partial withdrawal from such portfolio, the Net Asset Value of the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio shall be divided between the portion attributable to the withdrawn amount and the portion not being withdrawn, and the Incentive Fee shall only be calculated and paid with respect to the portion being withdrawn. Any balance in the Loss Carryforward Account outstanding as of such withdrawal date shall also be divided such that (i) the portion to be applied to such calculation of the Incentive Fee on the withdrawn amount shall be an amount equal to the balance of the Loss Carryforward Account prior to any adjustments in respect of such withdrawal multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the withdrawal and the denominator of which is the Net Asset Value of the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio (the “Withdrawal Loss Carryforward Account”) and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Account to be applied to the Incentive Fee calculation on a going forward basis will be equal to any balance in the Loss Carryforward Account outstanding as of such withdrawal date less an amount equal to the balance of the Withdrawal Loss Carryforward Account prior to any reductions in respect of the withdrawal.

3.For purposes of this Exhibit C:

(a)“Accounting Period” shall means the following periods: The initial Accounting Period shall begin upon the commencement of the Accounts. Each subsequent Accounting Period shall commence immediately after the close of the next preceding Accounting Period. Each Accounting Period hereunder shall close at the close of business on the first to occur of (i) the last day of each calendar quarter of the Accounts, (ii) the date immediately prior to the effective date of any additional contribution to the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio, (iii) the date of any withdrawal from the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio, (iv) the date when the Accounts terminate, or (v) any other date as determined in the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser.

(b)“Beginning Value” means, with respect to any Accounting Period, the Net Asset Value of the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio at the close of the immediately preceding Accounting Period after giving effect to any withdrawals and the debiting of the applicable Management Fee relating to such immediately preceding Accounting Period plus any additional contributions made to such portfolio as of the first day of the new Accounting Period. Beginning Value in respect of the initial Accounting Period shall mean the value of the contributions made as of the first day of such Accounting Period.

(c)“Credit Risk Asset” means any asset classified as of the applicable date of determination (i) as a non-agency residential mortgage-backed security or non-agency commercial mortgage-backed security, (ii) as an collateralized loan obligation, (iii) as an asset-backed security (both insurance-linked securities and non-insurance-linked securities) that is not a residential mortgage-backed security or a commercial mortgage-backed security or a collateralized loan obligation, (iv) as an emerging market investment, (v) as a corporate debt security, (vi) as a subordinated debt obligation, hybrid security or surplus note issued or assumed by a Financial Issuer, (vii) as preferred equity, (viii) as a residential mortgage loan, (ix) as a bank loan, (x) as infrastructure debt,(xi) as a

C-3

commercial mortgage loan or (xii) with respect to which the Investment Adviser and Fortegra have mutually agreed following the Effective Date to constitute a Credit Risk Asset.

(d)“Ending Value” means, with respect to any Accounting Period, the Net Asset Value of the Equity and Alternative Assets portfolio at the end of such Accounting Period without taking into account any withdrawals from such portfolio in such Accounting Period.

(e)“Equity and Alternative Asset” means any asset classified as of the applicable date of determination (i) common or preferred equity, (ii) alternative investment vehicles (including private investment funds and joint ventures), (iii) non-performing residential mortgages, (iv) real estate, (v) covered call options, or (vi) any asset that Investment Adviser and Fortegra mutually agree in writing from time to time constitutes an Equity or Alternative Asset.

(f)“Liquidity Asset” means any asset classified as of the applicable date of determination (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) as an investment grade corporate, (iii) as a municipal security, (iv) as an agency residential or commercial mortgage-backed security, (v) as an obligation of any governmental agency or government sponsored entity that is not expressly backed by the U.S. government or (vi) with respect to which the Investment Adviser and Fortegra have mutually agreed following the Effective Date to constitute as a liquidity asset.

(g)“Net Capital Appreciation” means, with respect to any Accounting Period, the excess, if any, of the Ending Value over the Beginning Value. With respect to any Incentive Period, the term “Net Capital Appreciation” shall mean the aggregate Net Capital Appreciation for such period less the aggregate Net Capital Depreciation for such period, but in no event shall it be less than zero.

(h)“Net Capital Depreciation” means, with respect to any Accounting Period, the excess, if any, of the Beginning Value over the Ending Value. With respect to any Incentive Period, the term “Net Capital Depreciation” shall mean the aggregate Net Capital Depreciation for such period less the aggregate Net Capital Appreciation for such period, but in no event shall it be less than zero.

(i)The initial “Incentive Period” shall commence upon the commencement of the Accounts. Each subsequent Incentive Period shall commence immediately after the close of the preceding Incentive Period, and ending on the first to occur of: (A) the last day of the calendar year; (B) the date the Accounts are terminated; or (C) the effective date of any full or partial withdrawal (with respect to such withdrawn amounts) if such date is other than a calendar year end.
