What is a Buyout Agreement?

A buyout agreement, also known as a buy-sell agreement, is a binding contract between business partners that establishes the buyout details of one partner exiting the partnership. A buyout agreement may be a standalone document, or it may be included as a section or addendum to a partnership agreement. Partnership agreements can also include a section or an addendum that creates a buyout agreement.

A buyout agreement addresses three primary issues: (1) what events trigger the buyout agreement; (2) who can purchase the departing owner’s interest in the company; and (3) the price, or a process to calculate the value, of the departing owner’s interest.

Section 3.Rank. With respect to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Shares of the Series B Preferred Shares shall rank senior to all Junior Securities, and the Corporation shall not issue any other series of Preferred Stock that ranks equal or senior to the Series B Preferred Shares while any Share is outstanding.

Section 4.Dividends.

4.1 Accrual and Payment of Dividends. From and after the Date of Issuance of any Share, cumulative dividends on such Share shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Liquidation Value. All accrued dividends on any Share shall be paid in cash only when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor or upon a liquidation or redemption of the Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 or Section 7.

4.2 Compounding Dividends. To the extent that on any Dividend Reference Date commencing with the third anniversary of the Date of Issuance (such third anniversary and each successive anniversary of the Date of Issuance, a “Payment Date”), the Corporation does not pay the dividends on the Shares outstanding accrued during the twelve-month period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date (the “Current Pay Dividends”), such Current Pay Dividends shall accumulate and compound from and after the applicable Dividend Reference Date and shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum and shall remain accruing and accumulated dividends until such Current Pay Dividends are paid in full.

4.3 Junior Securities. The Board shall have the discretion to declare and pay any dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, any Junior Securities while any accrued dividends on the Shares remain unpaid, provided that during the time that any Current Pay Dividends are unpaid and compounding pursuant to Section 4.2, no dividends or other distributions or repurchases or redemptions on any Junior Securities (other than Exempt Dividends and Repurchases) shall be declared or paid by the Board until such Current Pay Dividends and all dividends accrued thereon pursuant to Section 4.2 are declared and paid in full.

Section 5.Liquidation.

5.1 Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”), the holders of Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such holder, plus all unpaid accrued dividends on all such Shares (whether or not declared), and will not be entitled to any further assets of the Corporation.

5.2 Insufficient Assets. If upon any Liquidation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Shares the Liquidation Value, (a) the holders of the Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable

in respect of the Series B Preferred Shares in the aggregate upon such Liquidation if all amounts payable on or with respect to such Shares were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of Junior Securities.

5.3 Notice Requirement. In the event of any Liquidation, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) days following the date the Board approves such action, or no later than twenty (20) days following any stockholders’ meeting called to approve such action, or within twenty (20) days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give each holder of Shares written notice of the proposed action. Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash and property to be received by the holders of Shares upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each holder of Shares of such material change.

Section 6.Voting. The Shares shall not be entitled to vote with respect to any matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration (whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, by written action of stockholders in lieu of a meeting or otherwise), except as provided by law, nor will the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares be given any notice of a meeting or vote by the Corporation, except as provided herein.

Section 7.Redemption of Series B Preferred Shares.

7.1 Mandatory Redemption. Unless redeemed earlier by the Corporation with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares or pursuant to Section 7.2, the Corporation shall redeem on February __, 2020 the then outstanding Shares for a price per Share equal to the Series B Redemption Price.

7.2 Non-Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation shall have the option to redeem the then outstanding Shares for a price per Share equal to the Series B Redemption Price immediately prior to the consummation of any Change of Control that occurs prior to February __, 2020.

7.3 Payment. In exchange for the surrender to the Corporation by the respective holders of Shares of their certificate or certificates representing such Shares, the aggregate Series B Redemption Price for all Shares held by each holder of Shares shall be payable in cash in immediately available funds to the respective holders of the Series B Preferred Shares on the Series B Redemption Date and the Corporation shall contribute all of its assets to the payment of the aggregate Series B Redemption Price on all Shares, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Delaware law.

7.4 Insufficient Funds; Remedies For Nonpayment. If on the Series B Redemption Date, the assets of the Corporation legally available are insufficient to pay the full Series B Redemption Price for the total number of Shares required to be redeemed pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the Corporation shall (i) take all appropriate action reasonably within its means to maximize the assets legally available for paying the aggregate Series B Redemption Price on all Shares, (ii) redeem out of all such assets legally available therefor on the Series B Redemption Date the maximum possible number of Shares that it can redeem on such date, pro rata among the holders of such Shares to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate number of Shares elected to be redeemed by each such holder on the applicable Series B Redemption Date and (iii) following the applicable Series B Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Corporation become legally available to redeem the remaining Shares, the Corporation shall

immediately use such assets to pay the remaining balance of the aggregate applicable Series B Redemption Price.

7.5 Compounding Series B Redemption Price. To the extent any amount of the aggregate Series B Redemption Price on all Shares remains unpaid as of the Series B Redemption Date, such amount shall accumulate and compound on a daily basis at the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum until all such amounts due have been paid.

7.6 Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If on the Series B Redemption Date, the Series B Redemption Price is paid (or tendered for payment) for any of the Shares to be redeemed on such Series B Redemption Date, then on such date all rights of the holder in the Shares so redeemed and paid or tendered shall cease and such Shares shall no longer be deemed issued and outstanding.

Section 8.Breach of Obligations.

8.1 Series B Preferred Shares Breach. A breach by the Corporation of the rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations of the Series B Preferred Shares set forth herein shall mean the occurrence of one or more of any of the events and conditions set forth in this Section 8.1 (each such event or condition, a “Series B Preferred Shares Breach”), whether such event or condition occurs voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation and regardless of the reason or cause of such event or condition.

(a)Nonpayment of Redemption or Liquidation Payments. The failure of the Corporation to make any (i) redemption payment when due pursuant to Section 7 or (ii) liquidation payment when due pursuant to Section 5, in each case whether or not such payment is legally permissible or is otherwise prohibited.

(b)Bankruptcy or Insolvency. The Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (i) becomes insolvent or admits its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii) becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law, which is not fully stayed within seven (7) days or is not dismissed or vacated within ninety (90) days after filing; (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) has a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.

8.2 Consequences of Breach. In addition to any other rights which a holder of Shares is entitled under any other contract or agreement and any other rights such holder may have pursuant to applicable law, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 8.2 on the occurrence of a Series B Preferred Shares Breach.

(a)Redemption Right. If a Series B Preferred Shares Breach has occurred (other than a Series B Preferred Shares Breach described in Section 8.1(b)) and is continuing for a period of thirty (30) days, any holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall have the right to elect to have, out of funds legally available therefor, all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares immediately redeemed by the Corporation for a price per Share equal to the Series B Redemption Price. Any such redemption shall occur not more than twenty (20) days following receipt by the Corporation of the request by the holder.

(b)Automatic Redemption on Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding the earliest dates for redemption set forth in Section 7, if a Series B Preferred Shares Breach described in Section 8.1(b) has occurred, all of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall be subject to redemption immediately without any action required by the holders of Shares, for a price per Share equal to the Series B Redemption Price. Any such redemption shall occur immediately and shall otherwise be executed in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, applied mutatis mutandis.

Section 9.Reissuance of Series B Preferred Shares.

If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then this Purchase Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate this Purchase Warrant. This Purchase Warrant is initially exercisable at $15.00 per Share; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5 hereof, the rights granted by this Purchase Warrant, including the Exercise Price and the number of Shares to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price per Share or the adjusted exercise price per Share, depending on the context.

In order to exercise this Purchase Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or by certified check or official

bank check. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, this Purchase Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

2.2 Limitations on the Number of Shares Issuable.

2.2.1 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to Holder any Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance of Warrant Shares, the Holder (together with Holder’s affiliates) would (a) beneficially own in excess of 19.9% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance (the “Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount”) or (b) control in excess of 19.9% of the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the Company’s common stock (the “Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount”), unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval permitting such issuance in accordance with applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules (“Stockholder Approval”).

2.2.2 For purposes of this Section 2.2, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

2.2.3 For purposes of this Section 2.2, in determining the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as reflected in (i) the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) any other written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within five business days confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of shares of the Company’s common stock then outstanding.

2.2.4 If on any attempted exercise of this Warrant, the issuance of Warrant Shares would cause Holder to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or the Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount, and the Company shall not have previously obtained Stockholder Approval at the time of exercise, then the Company shall issue to Holder such number of Warrant Shares as may be issued below the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount, as the case may be.

2.2.5 The Company shall, at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), seek approval from the Company’s stockholders of a proposal approving the issuance of the Warrant Shares in excess of the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount and the Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

2.2.6 If stockholder approval of the matters set forth in Section 2.2.5 hereof is not obtained at the Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall cause the Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 28, 2014, by and between Kingsway America Inc. and the Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to be amended to provide that (i) Holder is granted a demand registration right thereunder with respect to the resale by Holder of the Warrants, which demand registration may, at the option of Holder, be for the Company to file a shelf registration statement that permits the resale of the Warrants from time to time thereunder, (ii) the Company is required to include the Warrants in any shelf registration statement that

the Company files after the date of such amendment and (iii) if Holder exercises its demand registration right under such amended Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Warrants, Holder shall pay all expenses (including the Company’s expenses) relating to the registration of such Warrants.

2.3 Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.3 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Purchase Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Purchase Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This Purchase Warrant and all Shares issued upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

3.2 Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act. The securities evidenced by this Purchase Warrant shall not be transferred unless and until: (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company or (ii) a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.

4.New Purchase Warrant to be Issued.

4.1 Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed

exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax due at the time of exercise or assignment, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

4.2 Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

5.Adjustments.

5.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying the Purchase Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

5.1.1 Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Shares or by a split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.

5.1.2 Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

5.1.3 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Section 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Shares covered by Section 5.1.1 or 5.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and this Section 5.1.3. The provisions of this Section 5.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

5.1.4 Changes in Form of Purchase Warrant. This form of Purchase Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 5.1, and Purchase Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Shares as are stated in the Purchase Warrant initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.

5.2 Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or share reconstructions or amalgamations.

5.3 Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights.

6.Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant, such number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder.
