The Parties shall fully cooperate to provide such expert with sufficient information to render its decision, which such expert shall do within 30 days after its selection.

The termination and release in Section 5(c) below shall not limit or modify the above Retained Liabilities, which are an obligation of NATIONAL GENERAL under this Agreement.

(b) Liabilities and Obligations Not Assumed. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, PURCHASER does not, and shall not, retain, assume or otherwise become obligated in any way to pay, any liabilities, debts or obligations of SELLER whatsoever, including but not limited to: any liabilities or obligations arising from SELLER’s business or development activities that relate to the Purchased Assets before the Effective Date; or any obligations, duties, terms, provisions, liabilities, covenants or other responsibilities associated with the Purchased Assets before the Effective Date, including, without limitation, any license or other fees due to any third parties on or for the Purchased Assets, that are not expressly outlined in Section 5(a) above; or any liabilities, debts or other obligations that relate to any NPS Dedicated Employee (defined in Section 8(g) below) who does not become a Transferred Employee (defined in Section 8(g) below); or any liabilities, debts or other obligations that relate to any Transferred Employee arising from or related to activities or circumstances occurring before the Effective Date.

those for fees in Section 9.1) arising or accruing under the Existing Agreement prior to the above termination, subject to Sections 5(a) and 8(f). Each Party hereby agrees to use good faith efforts in addressing and resolving any issues, claims or liabilities arising under or accruing under the Existing Agreement, including any outstanding accounts. Further, for any Hardware or licenses that NATIONAL GENERAL paid for under the Existing Agreement that will not be used by NATIONAL GENERAL after the Effective Date in connection with the Purchased Assets or AMTRUST License, the Parties agree to use good faith efforts to credit NATIONAL GENERAL with such payments as an offset to the costs paid by NATIONAL GENERAL for Transition Services in Section 8(c)(iii), taking into account the effect of any depreciation of any such Hardware or licenses.

6. Required AMTRUST Programs and Patent Licenses.

(a) AMTRUST License Grant. (i) AMTRUST hereby grants to NATIONAL GENERAL, and NATIONAL GENERAL hereby accepts, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, sublicensable (subject only to Section 6(b) below) and assignable (subject only to Section 6(c) below) license in and to exercise all Intellectual Property Rights in the Required AMTRUST Programs (the “AMTRUST License”), with full rights to use, modify, make derivative works from, reproduce, distribute, perform, display and otherwise fully utilize and exploit, each on an internal basis only, the Required AMTRUST Programs solely in connection with and as necessary to operate the NPS System, including, without limitation, any Future NPS System.

NATIONAL

GENERAL is liable to AMTRUST herein for any action by a sublicensee that would breach this Agreement if committed by NATIONAL GENERAL.

For clarity, the AMTRUST License and License Back shall not include any rights or licenses to use any Intellectual Property Rights (and/or any delivery requirements for Technology) of the other Party created after the Effective Date, except as set forth in any Development Agreement or the Project Plan.

8. Transition of NPS System.

(a) Transition Services. AMTRUST shall be responsible for separating the NPS System from its current (as of the Effective Date) operating environment, and reestablishing the NPS System per the Project Plan to operate in NATIONAL GENERAL’s system environment in a manner consistent with past practices prior to the Effective Date, including maintaining all current (as of the Effective Date) substantive features and functionality of the NPS System in such environment (the “Transition Services”).

(b) Cooperation/Project Plan. The Parties shall execute the Project Plan within 45 days after the Effective Date.

(i)	One Hundred percent (100%) of AMTRUST’s actual costs (subject to the first sentence of Section 8(d)) incurred in providing the Transition Services up to US$5,000,000 (the “Cap”) and


(ii)	After the actual costs of the Transition Services reach the Cap, if the Transition Services are not completed in accordance with the Project Plan to NATIONAL

GENERAL’s reasonable satisfaction, AMTRUST shall solely bear all expenses for further Transition Services required to reach the Transition Date, to be reimbursed by NATIONAL GENERAL to the extent any such expenses are due to the failure of NATIONAL GENERAL to comply with the Project Plan or its obligations in Section 8(b).

(iii)

NATIONAL GENERAL shall pay for all costs incurred by AMTRUST to provide and use Hardware for the performance of Transition Services that are incremental to AMTRUST’s Hardware costs to provide services under the Existing Agreement prior to the Effective Date. AMTRUST shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with NATIONAL GENERAL before incurring any such Hardware costs. These costs shall not be included in the calculation of the Cap.


(iv)	For clarity, AMTRUST’s costs in providing Support Services as set forth in Section 9(b) shall not be included in the calculation of the Cap.

(d) Costs and Expenses. AMTRUST’s actual costs shall include the compensation and benefits for any current employee or independent contractor providing the applicable Transition Services or Support Services, pro-rated for any person providing less than 100% of his or her working hours. NATIONAL GENERAL agrees to reimburse AMTRUST without xxxx-up or premium for all reasonable and necessary travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing Transition Services and Support Services. Upon request, AMTRUST will provide reasonable documentation to support such expenses. NATIONAL GENERAL shall be responsible for any sales taxes, use taxes, goods and services taxes which are applicable to the Transition Services and Support Services. AMTRUST shall be responsible for all other taxes and charges, including taxes on its net income, that are based on AMTRUST’s net profit arising from its performance of the Transition Services and Support Services.

(e) Payments. All payments due under this Section 8 and Section 9 shall be payable in full within sixty (60) days of NATIONAL GENERAL’s receipt of an invoice from AMTRUST. All invoices shall reference this Agreement, and any payment of an invoice by NATIONAL GENERAL is without prejudice to its right to contest its accuracy. Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records relating to the performance of Support Services and shall provide same to the other Party upon request.

(f) BPO Services. In addition to Transition Services, AMTRUST agrees to provide to NATIONAL GENERAL printing, lockbox and software hosting services (“BPO Services”) in a manner consistent with past practices prior to the Effective Date until they are fully transitioned to NATIONAL GENERAL. The initial BPO Services to be provided and respective fees for same are attached hereto as Schedule C. The Parties agree to meet as soon as possible after the Effective Date, and in any event no more than forty-five (45) days after the same, to agree in writing to the migration and/or transition process, which will include a detailed project plan with milestones, deliveries, and proof points mutually agreed upon by the Parties to accomplish the BPO Services transition, such agreement to

supersede Schedule C. The termination and release in Section 5(c) shall not limit or modify AMTRUST’s above obligation to provide BPO Services, which are an obligation of AMTRUST under this Agreement.

(g) Employee Matters; Transferred Employees. NATIONAL GENERAL shall (i) offer employment to current (as of the Effective Date) AMTRUST employees and (ii) assume all engagement contracts for current (as of the Effective Date) AMTRUST contractors, in each case, whom the Parties mutually agree are dedicating substantially all of their time to the development, operation and maintenance of the NPS System (each an “NPS Dedicated Person”), upon terms substantially similar to their current compensation packages and including standard NATIONAL GENERAL benefits. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, NATIONAL GENERAL shall offer employment to each NPS Dedicated Person who is a current employee, and the Parties shall cooperate to assign the engagement contracts for each NPS Dedicated Person who is a current contractor to NATIONAL GENERAL. In the event a NPS-Dedicated Person declines an offer of employment from NATIONAL GENERAL (or refuses to perform under the applicable engagement contract), AMTRUST agrees not to retain such NPS-Dedicated Person. Further, AMTRUST will not rehire any NPS-Dedicated Person for three years after the Effective Date. If AMTRUST is required to pay any paid time off compensation or incur other out-of-pocket expenses to transfer the NPS Dedicated Persons, NATIONAL GENERAL shall reimburse same at cost. For purposes of this Agreement, each NPS Dedicated Person who agrees to become an employee of NATIONAL GENERAL following the Effective Date shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. All such Transferred Employees shall begin working for NATIONAL GENERAL as quickly as is reasonably possible, and in any event no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

9. Support.

(a) Current Environment Costs. After the Effective Date and until the Transition Date (the “Pre-Transition Support Period”), upon request of NATIONAL GENERAL, AMTRUST shall provide NATIONAL GENERAL software and system support for the NPS System and the Required AMTRUST Programs to assist NATIONAL GENERAL to continue its use of and otherwise operate the NPS System and utilize the Required AMTRUST Programs in a manner consistent with past practices prior to the Effective Date while the separation and re-establishment as part of the Transition Services is effected (the “Pre-Transition Support”).

(b) For a maximum of twelve (12) months beginning on the Transition Date (the “Post-Transition Support Period”), upon request of NATIONAL GENERAL, AMTRUST shall provide NATIONAL GENERAL software and system support for the NPS System and the Required AMTRUST Programs to assist NATIONAL GENERAL to effectuate the AMTRUST License, continue its use of, and otherwise operate the NPS System and utilize the Required AMTRUST Programs, in each case, in a manner consistent with past practice (the “Post-Transition Support”, and together with the Pre-Transition Support, the “Support Services”). NATIONAL GENERAL agrees to pay AMTRUST’s actual costs and out-of-

pocket expenses for performing all Support Services as set forth in Section 8(d), such costs and expenses to be consistent with past practices between the Parties (i.e., the same or similar rates and amounts for such services will apply).

(c) AMTRUST agrees to perform all Support Services under this Agreement: (i) using personnel of required skill, experience and qualifications; (ii) in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services; and (iii) in compliance with all applicable laws.

10. Limited Development Obligations. Absent NATIONAL GENERAL’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in NATIONAL GENERAL’s sole discretion), AMTRUST will not market, offer, provide to, or develop for, any third party a personal lines insurance policy management system (as a standalone system or combined with another policy management system): (a) of any kind, for three (3) years after the Effective Date; or (b) that contains any source code contained in the NPS System, at any time after the Effective Date. For clarity, AMTRUST will not be restricted at any time after the Effective Date from using or developing any policy management system solely for its (and its respective Affiliates’) own internal business purposes or from developing systems for third parties that do not violate any term or condition of this Agreement, including AMTRUST’s obligations under this Section 10. For further clarity, this Section 10 does not limit AMTRUST’s sublicensing or assignment rights in Sections 7(b) & 7(c), provided that all permitted sublicensees and/or assignees remain subject to all terms and restrictions of the License Back. AMTRUST hereby acknowledges and agrees that the scope, duration and other terms of this Section 10 are reasonable, support a legitimate business interest of the Parties, and are fully supported by the consideration AMTRUST is receiving under this Agreement.

11. Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, PURCHASER and SELLER shall each bear their own respective expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with its schedules, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties hereto regarding the subject matter covered herein, and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, regarding same are superseded hereby.

(b) Captions. Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only, and do not affect the construction of this Agreement.

(c) Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof and shall be deemed an original signature for all purposes.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this Agreement.

(e) Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, without further consideration, each Party shall, at the request of the other Party, execute and deliver such further instruments and document as the other Party may reasonably request to evidence or effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f)Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by PURCHASER and SELLER. No waiver by a Party hereto of any default or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(g)Arbitration.

(i) General. Any disputes between the Parties as to the interpretation or any provision of this Agreement or the rights and obligations of any Party hereunder shall be resolved solely through binding arbitration as provided herein in New York, New York.

(ii) Selection of Arbitrators. If arbitration is required to resolve a dispute between the Parties, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to select one (1) arbitrator for same. If the Parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator, the Parties will notify the New York office of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and request the AAA to select the arbitrator.

(iii) Rules of Arbitration. The arbitrator selected pursuant to Section 16(g)(ii) above will follow the AAA rules for commercial arbitration, which will be binding on the Parties.

(iv) Costs of Arbitration. The arbitrator will have the exclusive authority to determine and award in its sole discretion costs of arbitration and the costs incurred by each Party for its attorneys, advisors and consultants.

(v) Award of Arbitrator. Any award made by the arbitrators shall be binding upon the Parties and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the law.

(vi) Governing Law; Actual Damages. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws of same. Except as permitted under Section 16(g)(iv) above, the arbitrators’ award will be limited to actual damages and will not include punitive or exemplary damages. Without limiting Section 16(d), nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to give the arbitrators any authority, power or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add to or subtract from any provisions of this Agreement. All privileges under state and federal law, including, without limitation, attorney-client work product and party communication privileges, shall be preserved and protected.

(h)Injunctive relief. The Parties agree that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 6(b), 6(c), 7(b), 7(c) and 16(l) shall cause a Party irreparable harm that is incapable of remedy by money damages, and that in such event, a Party has the right to seek temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive or equitable relief (including specific performance) from the arbitrator (or from the courts located in New York, New York pending the resolution of any arbitration hereunder) to enjoin or prevent same without posting bond or other security.

(i)Construction. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”

(j)No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(k)Successor and Assigns. In the event of a permitted assignment herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Parties’ rights to assign this Agreement as a whole shall be consistent with their assignment rights in Sections 6(c) and 7(c), and any assignments or sublicenses not explicitly permitted by Sections 6(b), 6(c), 7(b), 7(c) or this Section 16(k) require the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party in its sole discretion. If NATIONAL GENERAL sells, assigns or transfers the NPS System (or any of its Intellectual Property Rights within) or if AMTRUST sells, assigns or transfers the Required AMTRUST Programs (or any of its Intellectual Property Rights within), in each case, in whole or in part, then in each case, the successor or acquirer is deemed automatically bound by the assigning Party’s licensing obligations herein and must also assume such obligations in writing. Any purported assignment in violation of Sections 6(c) or 7(c ) or this Section 16(k) (or any sublicense in violation of Sections 6(b) or 7(b)) shall be null and void at the outset and of no force or effect.

(l)Confidentiality; Press Releases.

(i) Before releasing a press release or other public disclosure announcing the transactions covered by this Agreement, a Party shall provide a draft of same to the other Party for review, input and consent. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to review, provide input and consider in good faith any such input, prior to releasing such proposed disclosure.

(ii) NATIONAL GENERAL agrees to protect the source code, and other materials marked as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” (or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential) for the Required AMTRUST Programs provided to NATIONAL GENERAL hereunder with the same level of security NATIONAL GENERAL accords to its own most sensitive source code and/or materials of a similar nature, and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. NATIONAL GENERAL shall not authorize or permit any Required AMTRUST Programs, or any portion thereof, to become governed by or subject to an “open source” or similar license that could require NATIONAL GENERAL to license or make its source code available if any Required AMTRUST Programs are made available, licensed, conveyed, or distributed to third parties.

(iii) AMTRUST agrees to protect the source code, and other materials marked as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” (or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential) for the NPS System that are part of the Retained Copies or provided to NATIONAL GENERAL hereunder with the same level of security AMTRUST accords to its own most sensitive source code and/or materials of a similar nature, and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. AMTRUST shall not authorize or permit the NPS System, or any portion thereof, to become governed by or subject to an “open source” or similar license that could require AMTRUST to license or make its source code available if any NPS System is made available, licensed, conveyed, or distributed to third parties.

(iv) The restrictions of Sections 16(l)(ii) and 16(l)(iii) above with respect to confidentiality shall not be deemed to limit the Parties’ sublicensing and assignment rights permitted hereunder, provided that all sublicensees and assignees are subject to written obligations reflecting such restrictions and that each of the Parties remains ultimately liable to the other Party for breaches of same by its sublicensees.

(v) The restrictions of confidentiality herein shall not apply to any disclosures that are required by applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, court order, subpoena, document demand or legal process or to enforce a Party’s rights in this Agreement, provided that the required Party shall notify the other Party as soon as legally permitted and cooperate with all attempts by the other Party to obtain a protective order or similar treatment.

(m) Term. The term of this Agreement commences as of the Effective Date and lasts in perpetuity. Without limiting the Parties’ other rights and remedies herein, the Parties agree that termination shall not be a remedy for a Party’s breach of this Agreement.
