WITNESS THAT:

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

I. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY

1. This Agreement is subject to the restrictions imposed upon MGA, insurance

carrier(s) and Limited Representative by law. The terms of this Agreement apply to business in which MGA and Limited Representative transact through the “Take Out” policies removed from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens) by Cypress Property & Casualty Insurance Company, a Florida Corporation during the term of this agreement and referred to in the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation Assumption Agreement.

2. Limited Representative is an independent contractor and not an employee of MGA.

MGA does hereby grant authority to Limited Representative to provide all limited policy services as an insurance agent, for which Limited Representative has authority from the MGA, on all contracts of insurance covered by this agreement. Limited Representative understands and agrees the “servicing fee” paid on such business is reflective of services required by MGA.

3. Limited Representative shall not have binding authority on behalf of the MGA unless prior written approval for the specific insurance policy to be bound has been granted by MGA and accepted by Limited Representative. Any binding authority granted to the Limited Representative may be revoked at any time by notice from MGA. Any binding authority granted to the Limited Representative will be

specifically limited to binding authority necessary to fulfill Limited Representative’s obligations under this Agreement as it relates to “Take Out” policies from Citizens.

4. Limited Representative shall conduct business on behalf of MGA only pursuant to

guidelines, rules and other written directives furnished to Limited Representative by MGA. The underwriting guidelines and written directives may be amended by MGA at any time. Authority granted to Limited Representative by MGA will be limited to that authority necessary to properly service MGA “Take Out” policies from Citizens.

5. Limited Representative understands that MGA is not an insurance company or

carrier, cannot function as one and must follow the requirements of the issuing carrier.

6. Limited Representative shall maintain proper licenses, where business is

conducted.

7. Limited Representative acknowledges that MGA will suspend binding or writing

policies of insurance providing coverage for fire, windstorm, explosion, riot and civil commotion, or extended coverage, except renewals (in the same company) of an existing policy containing such coverage:

(a) In accordance with the company’s storm procedures, or when

hurricane or tornado watches or warnings have been posted, or there are definite indications or general knowledge by the public that a named storm may be expected in the immediate future within the vicinity of the risk in question;

(b) When a named storm is in progress;

(c) When a civil disorder, disturbance, civil commotion or riot is in progress;

(d) When there are definite indications or general knowledge by the public that a civil disorder, disturbance, civil commotion or riot is imminent or may be expected in the immediate future within the vicinity or area of the risk in question;

(e) On any risk in an area, subdivision, municipality, city, county, commonwealth or state, which is under curfew or martial law because of civil unrest; or

(f) Upon receipt of any request from the company relating to

implementation of the company’s exposure management plan.

II. PREMIUMS AND “SERVICING FEES”

1. Limited Representative shall accept in a fiduciary capacity all premiums received

2. Limited Representative agrees that the full “servicing fee” paid to the Limited Representative by MGA shall be the Limited Representative’s sole and full compensation on such business placed through the Limited Representative with the applicable insurance company, and that such “servicing fees” are payable in consideration of the faithful performance by the Limited Representative of his duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Undisputed “servicing fees” in the hands of the applicable insurance company or MGA may be applied at any time to, and as offset against, any due and unpaid obligations to the applicable insurance company or MGA.

3. Limited Representative agrees that assignment of “servicing fees” shall not bind

the applicable insurance company or the MGA without its prior written consent.

4. Limited Representative shall refund MGA “servicing fees” on cancelled policies

and on reductions in premiums at the same rate “servicing fees” were originally earned. Whether such action is taken during the continuance of this Limited Representative Agreement or after its termination, refunded “servicing fees” must be received by MGA no later than forty-five (45) days after MGA’s notification to Limited Representative. If Limited Representative has failed to promptly account for and pay to MGA premiums or other monies for which Limited Representative is liable, MGA reserves the right to withhold payment of any and all “servicing fees” to Limited Representative. Any such withholding shall be credited to Limited Representative’s account. Any surplus “servicing fees” over and above the premiums or other monies Limited Representative owes MGA shall be paid to Limited Representative. However, if “servicing fee” retained does not fully satisfy the premiums or monies Limited Representative owes MGA then Limited Representative shall remain liable for those premiums or monies Limited Representative owes MGA.

III. INDEMNIFICATION

MGA shall indemnify and hold the Limited Representative harmless for all fines, penalties and related expenses which the Limited Representative may incur as a result of any action of MGA which is in violation of any law or regulation or contract or other duty, including any and all liability and cost of defense resulting from any suit or other action being brought against Limited Representative for any error or omission of MGA, its principals, or its employees.

Part II Certification

Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted. Future developments. The IRS has created a page on IRS.gov for information about Form W-9, at www.irs.gov/w9. Information about any future developments affecting Form W-9 (such as legislation enacted after we release it) will be posted on that page.

Purpose of Form

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of

withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and 4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct.

Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
