Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash in the aggregate amount required to pay the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall be used solely for purposes of paying the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article III and shall not be used to satisfy any other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Pending distribution of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Article III, Parent may direct the Paying Agent to invest such cash; provided, that (a) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the Company Stockholders and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the

Paying Agent for the benefit of the Company Stockholders in the amount of any such losses and (b) such investments (i) shall be obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers acceptances of domestic commercial banks with capital exceeding $500,000,000 (collectively “Permitted Investments”) or money market funds that are invested solely in Permitted Investments and (ii) shall have maturities that will not prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Article III. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable solely to Parent. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration.

Section 3.02 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As promptly as practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Shares subsequently converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as set forth in Section 2.04 (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) that (A) shall specify that delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof, together with any bond or indemnity agreement, as contemplated by Section 3.06) and (B) shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Corporation may specify, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval (to be sought prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration.

(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and executed, and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, (i) the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.04 and (ii) the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02, each such Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall automatically upon the Effective Time (or, at any later time at which such Book-Entry Shares shall be so converted) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III.

(d) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the appropriate amount of the Merger Consideration may be paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable Taxes have been paid.

Section 3.03 No Further Ownership Rights. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of the Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares and, after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III, subject to applicable Law in the case of Appraisal Shares.

Section 3.04 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the former Company Stockholders on the date twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any former holder of Shares who has not theretofore received any applicable Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled under this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of claims with respect thereto.

Section 3.05 No Liability. None of CF Corp, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any part of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Shares two years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Order, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.06 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.

CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates, and their respective pre-Closing directors, officers, employees, managers, consultants, accountants or other agents or representatives, in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation), interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, by any of the Indemnitees in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any high yield bonds being issued in lieu of any portion of the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing), any refinancing of indebtedness contemplated by this Agreement, any Consent Solicitation, Debt Tender Offer, Change of Control Offer (as defined in the Company Existing Indenture) or Optional Redemption as described in clauses (d)(i) through (d)(iv) below and/or any information utilized in connection therewith or the Company’s cooperation with respect thereto and any misuse of the logos, names or trademarks of the Company or its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises from (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or (y) any Required Information provided by any of the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and in respect of which the Company has not provided supplemental Required Information as promptly as

CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub expressly acknowledge and agree that the Indemnitees shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10(b) and the provisions of this Section 6.10(b) shall be enforceable by each Indemnitee and the heirs and representatives of such Persons and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of CF Corp, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation. This Section 6.10(b) shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time and any termination of this Agreement, and is intended to benefit, and may be enforced by, the Indemnitees and their respective heirs, executors, estates, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of CF Corp and Parent.

(c) CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub each hereby agrees to use, and agrees to cause their Affiliates to use, their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions, taken as a whole (including flex provisions) not materially less favorable to CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub than those described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) comply in all material respects with and maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter (subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.10(c)), (ii) satisfy, or cause their Representatives to satisfy (or obtain a waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to CF Corp, Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including by consummating the financing pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter and by effecting the Equity Contribution (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) in no less than the amount set forth in paragraph (b)(1) or Exhibit A to the Debt Commitment Letter and by paying any commitment, engagement or placement or other fees that become due and payable under or with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter), (iii) negotiate and enter into the Debt Documents (and maintain in effect and comply in all material respects with the terms thereof) on terms and conditions no less favorable to CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub than those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including any related “market flex” provisions), which agreements shall be in effect as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Closing; provided, however, that, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any of the Debt Documents, other than as set forth in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, without the prior written consent of the Company: (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing provided for in the Debt Commitment Letter (including by changing the amount of fees or original issue discount contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter); (B) expand the conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the Debt Financing beyond those expressly set forth in

the Debt Commitment Letter, amend or modify any of such conditions or other contingencies in a manner adverse to CF Corp, Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates (including by making any such conditions or other contingencies less likely to be satisfied) or impose any new or additional condition or other contingency to the receipt or funding of the Debt Financing; (C) contain terms (other than those terms expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter) that would reasonably be expected to (1) prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the date on which the Debt Financing would be obtained, or (2) make the funding of Debt Financing less likely to occur; (D) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of CF Corp, Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates to enforce its rights against the Debt Financing Sources; or (E) impose additional material obligations on the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (iv) accept (and comply with) to the fullest extent all “market flex” provisions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (v) cause the Debt Financing Sources, the Equity Providers or any other Persons providing Debt Financing to fund its portion of the Debt Financing at the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and (vi) furnish the Company drafts of the Debt Documents (when available promptly following receipt thereof) and a reasonable time in advance of providing drafts to any third party, and the comments of the Company shall be considered in good faith and thereafter complete, correct and executed copies of the Debt Documents promptly upon their execution. CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt written notice (I) of any breach, default or threatened breach by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter of which CF Corp, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Representatives or Affiliates becomes aware or any termination or threatened termination thereto, (II) if and when CF Corp, Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware that any portion of the Debt Financing may not be available to consummate the Refinancing, including the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (A) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document or (B) dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing or Debt Documents), (III) of any termination of the Debt Commitment Letter or (IV) if at any time for any reason CF Corp or Parent believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources, contemplated by any of the Debt Commitment Letters or Debt Documents or will be unable to obtain Alternative Financing. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes or could reasonably be expected to become unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any related “market flex” terms) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter or from the sources contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than as a result of the Company’s breach of any provision of this Agreement, or the Company’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article VII) or the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Documents shall be withdrawn, repudiated, terminated or rescinded for any reason, CF Corp shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, without limiting the obligations of CF Corp set forth in the second succeeding sentence, use all commercially reasonable efforts to arrange or obtain alternative financing for any such portion from the same or alternative sources, which may include one or more of a senior secured debt financing, an offering and sale of notes, or any other financing or offer and sale of other debt securities, or any combination thereof (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the Refinancing (or replace any unavailable portion of the Debt Financing) and to obtain a new financing commitment letter (including any associated

engagement letter and related fee letter) with respect to such Alternative Financing (collectively, the “New Debt Commitment Letter”), copies of which shall be promptly provided to the Company but in any event no later than three Business Days prior to the execution thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no New Debt Commitment Letter may expand the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters in effect on the date hereof or otherwise include terms (including any “flex” provisions) that would reasonably be expected to make the likelihood that such Debt Financing would be funded less likely. In the event CF Corp, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates enters into any Alternative Financing, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the New Debt Commitment Letter, (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing and (C) all references to the Committed Lenders and the Lead Arrangers shall include the persons providing or arranging such Alternative Financing. CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub shall (1) enforce their rights (and the rights of any of their Affiliates) under the Debt Commitment Letter and (2) other than as set forth in the third preceding sentence, not permit or agree to permit, without the prior written consent of the Company, any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter (it being understood that the exercise of any “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter shall be deemed not to be an amendment, modification or waiver), in any such case if such amendment, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to (w) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise modify or expand any of the conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing, (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) thereunder, (y) make it less likely that the Debt Financing would be funded (including by making the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing less likely to occur) or otherwise prevent or delay or impair in any material respect the ability or likelihood of CF Corp, Parent or Merger Sub to timely consummate the Refinancing and (z) adversely impact the ability of CF Corp, Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter; provided, that CF Corp may amend, supplement or modify the Debt Commitment Letter to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities (which additional lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities may also become Committed Lenders). Each of CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Debt Financing, or any Alternative Financing, is not a condition to the consummation of the transactions to be consummated at the Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing, subject to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Article VII.

(d) Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, as soon as promptly as practicable after receipt of any written request by CF Corp to do so, in consultation with CF Corp and at CF Corp’s sole expense, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i) (A) commence a consent solicitation to amend, eliminate or waive certain sections of the Company Existing Indenture as specified by CF Corp (a “Consent Solicitation”), with respect to all of the outstanding Company Existing Notes on such terms and conditions, including with respect to consent fees (which shall be paid by CF Corp), that are proposed by CF Corp; provided that CF Corp shall consult with the Company and afford the Company a

reasonable opportunity to review the necessary consent solicitation statement, supplemental indenture and other related documents in connection with such Consent Solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation Documents”); (B) provide and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective Representatives to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by CF Corp in connection with the Consent Solicitation including appointing a solicitation agent reasonably selected by CF Corp; (C) waive any of the conditions to the Consent Solicitation as may be reasonably requested by CF Corp (other than the condition that any proposed amendments set forth therein shall not become operative unless and until the Closing has occurred), so long as such waivers would not cause the Consent Solicitation to violate applicable Law, and shall not, without the prior written consent of CF Corp, waive any condition to the Consent Solicitation or make any change, amendment or modification to the terms and conditions of any Consent Solicitation other than as directed by CF Corp or as required by applicable Law; and (D) promptly following the expiration of a Consent Solicitation, assuming the requisite consent from the holders of the Company Existing Notes (including from persons holding proxies from such holders) has been received, cause an appropriate supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to become effective providing for the amendments of the Company Existing Indenture contemplated in the Consent Solicitation Documents; provided, that notwithstanding the fact that a Supplemental Indenture may become effective earlier, the proposed amendments set forth therein shall not become operative unless and until the Effective Time has occurred. The form and substance of the Supplemental Indenture shall be reasonably satisfactory to CF Corp;

(ii) (A) commence an offer to purchase, as specified by CF Corp, with respect to all of the outstanding Company Existing Notes, on such terms and conditions, including pricing terms, that are proposed, from time to time, by CF Corp and reasonably acceptable to the Company (“Debt Tender Offer”), and CF Corp shall assist the Company in connection therewith; provided that the party primarily responsible for drafting the necessary offer to purchase, related letter of transmittal, supplemental indenture and other related documents in connection with such Debt Tender Offer (the “Debt Tender Offer Documents”) shall afford such other party a reasonable opportunity to review the Debt Tender Offer Documents and the material terms and conditions of the Debt Tender Offer. The terms and conditions specified by CF Corp for the Debt Tender Offer shall be in compliance in all material respects with the Company Existing Indenture, the Company Existing Credit Documents or any applicable Law. The closing of a Debt Tender Offer, if any, shall be expressly conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing, and in accordance with the terms of the Debt Tender Offer, the Company shall accept for purchase and purchase the Company Existing Notes properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Debt Tender Offer (provided that such purchase price shall be paid by CF Corp; provided, further that the proposed amendments set forth in any Debt Tender Offer Document may not become effective unless and until the Closing has occurred); (B) provide and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective Representatives to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by CF Corp in connection with the Debt Tender Offer, including appointing a dealer manager reasonably selected by CF Corp. The Debt Tender Offer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14e-1”), the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), if applicable, and any other applicable Law, it being understood that the Company shall not be required to take any action that, in the good faith judgment of the Company and after consultation with Company counsel, does not comply with Rule 14e-1, the TIA, if applicable, or other applicable Law; and (C) waive any of the conditions to a Debt Tender Offer as may be reasonably requested by CF Corp (other

than the conditions that a Debt Tender Offer is conditioned on the Effective Time occurring), so long as such waivers would not cause a Debt Tender Offer to violate the Exchange Act, the TIA or other applicable Law, and shall not, without the prior written consent of CF Corp, waive any condition to a Debt Tender Offer or make any change, amendment or modification to the terms and conditions of a Debt Tender Offer (including any extension thereof) other than as directed by CF Corp or as required by applicable Law;

(iii) deliver a notice to each holder of the Company Existing Notes, in accordance with Section 3.9(b) of the Company Existing Indenture, with respect to a Change of Control Offer for the repurchase, on and subject to the occurrence of a Change of Control Payment Date (as defined in the Company Existing Indenture), to be mutually agreed by CF Corp and the Company, of all of the Company Existing Notes then outstanding and otherwise comply with the Company Existing Indenture with respect to such Change of Control Offer; and/or

(iv) effect (1) the redemption of the Company Existing Notes (the “Optional Redemption”), (2) the satisfaction and discharge of the Company Existing Indenture pursuant to Article VIII thereof and (3) the release of all obligations in respect of the Company Existing Notes subject to the payment of the Company Existing Notes Payoff Amount, including (A) delivery of an Officer’s Certificate (as defined in the Company Existing Indenture) in respect of the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Company Existing Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Company Existing Indenture, (B) delivery of a notice of redemption pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.2(b) of the Company Existing Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Company Existing Indenture, which may be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, and (C) delivery to CF Corp of a schedule setting forth the Company Existing Notes Payoff Amount (it being understood that (x) any such redemption, satisfaction and discharge shall not occur prior to the Effective Time, (y) the Company’s or CF Corp’s counsel will provide customary legal opinions required in connection with such redemption, satisfaction and discharge and (z) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no funding obligations in connection with such redemption, satisfaction and discharge);

(v) provided, in each case in clauses (i) through (iv) above, that (x) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, managers, consultants, accountants or other agents or representatives, in their capacity as such, shall be required to incur any liability whatsoever in connection with, the Consent Solicitation, Debt Tender Offer, Change of Control Offer or Optional Redemption (except that the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur such liabilities only to the extent such liabilities become effective after the Effective Time), (y) nothing in this Section 6.10(d) shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (A) cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article VII to not be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement, (B) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would reasonably be expected to conflict with or violate the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or any Law, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the contravention in any material respect of, or result in a violation or breach in any material respect of, or default under, any agreement, (C) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company, (D) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or purchase any securities during any “blackout periods” imposed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (E) cause

(g) CF Corp shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, for a period commencing at the Closing Date and ending ninety (90) days thereafter, to not effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (together with any similar state or local law, “WARN”) affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, operating unit or Company Employee, without complying with all provisions of WARN.

(h) This Section 6.13 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 6.13 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other related Contract, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) except as expressly provided by Section 6.13(b), shall alter or limit the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or CF Corp or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; or (iii) is intended to or shall confer upon any current or former employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any other person any right to employment or continued employment or service for any period of time by reason of this Agreement or any other related agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

CF Corp shall guarantee such performance by the Surviving Corporation.

(b) From the Effective Time and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, CF Corp and the Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a copy of which has been made available or delivered to CF Corp) with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as those of such current insurance coverage; provided, however, that in no event will CF Corp or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Premium”),

which Maximum Premium is set forth in Section 6.14(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter; and provided, further, that, if the annual premiums for such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Premium, CF Corp and the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount; and provided, further, however, that at the Company’s option in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, the Company may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, six (6) year “tail” insurance coverage that provides coverage identical in all material respects to the coverage described above, provided that the Company does not pay more than the Maximum Premium.

(e) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to the obligations set forth in Section 6.13 and this Section 6.14. In addition, the Surviving Corporation shall not distribute, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render the Surviving Corporation unable to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.14.

(f) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.14 shall be in addition to, and not in substitute for, any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws, and CF Corp shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and perform under all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.16 No Control of the Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give CF Corp, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct CF Corp’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and CF Corp shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 6.17 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise CF Corp orally and in writing of any Action brought by any stockholder of the Company against the Company or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall keep CF Corp reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give CF Corp the opportunity to participate in, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, but not control the defense of any such litigation, shall give due consideration to CF Corp’s advice with respect to such litigation and shall not settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of CF Corp, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. CF Corp shall promptly advise the Company orally and in writing of any Action brought by any stockholder of CF Corp against CF Corp or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding any such litigation.

After the Closing Date, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder and any amounts payable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid to the Company or any of its applicable Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any payment pursuant to any Tax sharing agreement (other than agreements solely between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries), except pursuant to the terms of any Tax sharing agreement set forth in Section 6.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.19 Bermuda Reinsurer. At least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, CF Corp shall (a) organize a Bermuda exempted company as a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of CF Corp and (b) cause such entity to obtain all necessary Permits, including to operate as a Bermuda Class B reinsurance company.

In some instances, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties of risk associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties. Consequently, Persons other than the parties may not rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

HEREOF OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.09 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties hereto would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. It is accordingly agreed that, without posting a bond or other undertaking, the parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Courts, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto will allege, and each party hereto hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 9.09, a party hereto shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party hereto under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 9.09 shall require any party hereto to institute any action for (or limit such party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 9.09 before exercising any other right under this Agreement. If, prior to the Outside Termination Date, any party hereto brings any Action in accordance with this Agreement to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof against any other party, the Outside Termination Date shall be automatically extended (i) for the period during which such Action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action on good cause shown, as the case may be.

Section 9.10 Exclusions from Representations and Warranties. Except as expressly set forth in Section 4.11(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith, each of CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Subsidiaries make no representations or warranties with respect to, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement, document or instrument to be delivered in connection herewith is intended or shall be construed to be a representation or warranty, express or implied, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, for any purposes of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in respect of (a) the adequacy or sufficiency of reserves, (b) the effect of the adequacy or

sufficiency of reserves on any line item, asset, liability or equity amount on any financial or other document, (c) whether or not reserves were determined in accordance with any actuarial, statutory, regulatory or other standard or (d) the collectability of any amounts under any Reinsurance Contract. Furthermore, each of CF Corp, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges, understands and agrees that no fact, condition, development or issue relating to the adequacy or sufficiency of reserves may be used, directly or indirectly, to demonstrate or support the breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of or by the Company or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith.

Section 9.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by the Delaware Courts or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.12 Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges that CF Corp is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination (as defined in CF Corp’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association). The Company further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated May 19, 2016 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of CF Corp’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of CF Corp’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of CF Corp, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of CF Corp’s initial public offering. The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by CF Corp that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to CF Corp to pay its income taxes, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if CF Corp completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; and (ii) if CF Corp fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to CF Corp in limited amounts to permit CF Corp to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to CF Corp’s public shareholders. For and in consideration of CF Corp entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, contracts or agreements with CF Corp; provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against CF Corp for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for CF Corp to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account to the Company Stockholders in accordance with the terms of

this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect CF Corp’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the CF Corp Shareholder Redemption, or for fraud to the extent such a claim for fraud cannot be waived under applicable Law, and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against CF Corp’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account upon completion of a Business Combination (except such amounts that are payable to shareholders of CF Corp holding CF Corp Shares sold in CF Corp’s initial public offering who shall have previously elected to redeem their CF Corp Shares pursuant to CF Corp’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

Section 9.13 CF Corp Undertaking. CF Corp hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full, complete and timely performance of all agreements, covenants and obligations of its Subsidiaries, when performance of the same shall be required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
