2.EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a)Number of Warrant Shares. On the date of any closing of the Over-allotment Option, the number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall automatically be increased by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Over-allotment Option. The Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the increased number of Warrant Shares called for by this Section 2(a), which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, including with respect to the Issuance Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in Warrant Shares available hereunder pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall have no effect on the vesting schedule of this Warrant.

(b)Exercise Price.    The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $17.00 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3 hereof (the “Exercise Price”). Upon exercise, an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) shall be payable to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company; provided, however, that the Holder may elect to receive, upon such exercise the “net number” of shares of Common Stock, whereby the Company will withhold a number of Warrant Shares (subject to Section 2(d)(v) hereof) then issuable upon exercise of this warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of the Exercise Notice (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof) equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price (a “Cashless Exercise”).

(c)Exercise of Warrant.    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including the vesting requirements, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final

Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company; provided, however, that the Holder may surrender this Warrant and receive a new Warrant pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) hereof. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the date that is the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”), the Holder shall deliver to the Company the Aggregate Exercise Price in the form determined by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) unless the purchase shall be consummated pursuant to a Cashless Exercise. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s Principal Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice.

(d)Mechanics of Exercise.

(i)Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.    Subject to the Company’s timely receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (as applicable), the Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Holder by book entry position, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Exercise Notice by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Purchase Price (as applicable), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares; provided, that payment is received no later than the Warrant Share Delivery Date. In no event shall the Company be required to deliver any Warrant Shares prior to receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price in respect of such Warrant Shares unless the purchase shall be consummated pursuant to a Cashless Exercise. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.

(ii)Delivery of New Warrant Upon Exercise.    If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii)Rescission Rights.    If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion.

(iv)Conditional Exercise.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. If the exercise of this Warrant is conditioned upon the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Warrant Share Delivery Date shall be the date of such consummation and such exercise shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to such consummation.

(v)No Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round the number of shares issuable to the nearest whole share.

3.ADJUSTMENTS.    The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a)Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.    If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 3(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. Each such adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event covered by this Section 3(a) shall occur.

(b)Fundamental Transactions.    If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “Successor Entity”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive per Warrant Share exercised the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any other consideration, as applicable, received by a holder of a share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, tender offer or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. As a condition to any such Fundamental Transaction, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

(c)Calculations.    All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

4.TRANSFERABILITY.    This Warrant may not be Transferred or assigned (whether by operation of law or otherwise) except to a person (including any successor of the Holder) who is controlled and majority owned by American Family Insurance Mutual Holding Company, a Wisconsin mutual insurance holding company and the ultimate controlling entity of the Holder.

5.ACCELERATION AND SUSPENSION OF VESTING.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant shall vest in full from and after a Change of Control if the Holder agrees that the Reinsurance Agreement and all of the MGA Agreements shall remain in effect notwithstanding such Change of Control and the Holder waives or causes its affiliates to waive, any termination rights it may have thereunder as a result of such Change of Control. The

(b)Upon any termination of either (i) the Reinsurance Agreement or (ii) one or more of the MGA Agreements pursuant to which the Company’s affiliates produce business representing in the aggregate 25% or more of the business ceded to the Bowhead Insurance Company Inc. under the Reinsurance Agreement as of the end of the prior fiscal year (notwithstanding any continuing provisions in Section 4.05 of the Reinsurance Agreement or Section 14.9 of the MGA Agreements), the unvested portion of this Warrant (if any) and all rights and obligations of the Holder with respect thereto shall automatically and without further action be cancelled and terminated in its entirety and be of no further force or effect and the Company shall reflect such cancellation of the unvested portion of this Warrant in its corporate books. Any previously vested portion of this Warrant shall remain exercisable during the Exercise Period.

6.MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)Non-Circumvention.    The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time, and without regard to any limitations on exercise).

(b)Reissuance.

(i)Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.    If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

(ii)Issuance of New Warrants.    Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, including in connection with Sections 2(a) and 2(d)(ii) hereof, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.

(c)Warrant Holder Not Deemed Stockholder.    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(d)Accredited Investor.    The Holder represents and warrants that (i) it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and was not organized for the purposes of acquiring this Warrant or the Warrant Shares or (ii) it is not a US Person as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act and it will not exercise this Warrant on behalf of a US Person. The Holder’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (as applicable) for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. The Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of investment in the Company.

(e)Rule 144.    The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Holder acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. This Warrant or such Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or 144A under the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A have been satisfied.
