Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the Registrant.  The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Article Twelfth of the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
 
The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
 
(a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;
 
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the Plan not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
 
provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
 
(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
 
 
 
 
4

 
 
 
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d)      This Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
 
Section 3 .  Purchase Price.   The price per Share at which the Optionee shall be entitled to purchase Shares upon the exercise of the Option (the “ Option Price ”) is set forth on Schedule I hereto.
 
Section 4 .  Duration of Option.   Upon becoming exercisable, the Option shall remain exercisable to the extent and in the manner provided herein for a period of 10 years from the Grant Date (the “ Exercise Term ”), unless the Option earlier ceases to be exercisable pursuant to Section 5 of this Award Agreement.
 
Section 5 .  Exercisability of Option; Termination Period.  (a) Unless otherwise provided by the Board or Committee, the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Option shall entitle the Optionee to purchase, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, the total number of Shares covered by the Option after the expiration of the period(s) of time set forth in the vesting schedule in Schedule I, provided, however , that if the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of the Optionee’s:

(b)      If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Option shall immediately terminate with respect to all Shares covered by the Option whether or not previously exercisable.

2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
 
You have been granted an award (this “ Award ”) of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock on the following terms and subject to the provisions of Attachment A and the Verisk Analytics, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”).  Unless defined in this Award Agreement (including Attachment A, this “ Agreement ”), capitalized terms will have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  In the event of a conflict among the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and any descriptive materials provided to you, the provisions of the Plan will prevail. Subject to Section 3 of Attachment A, the shares granted hereunder (to the extent not vested as of any applicable date, the “ Restricted Shares ”) shall vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date (each such vesting date, a “ Scheduled Vesting Date ”) if the Participant does not experience a termination of employment at any time prior to the applicable Scheduled Vesting Date (the “ Service Condition ”).
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
Attachment A
 
 
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
Terms and Conditions
 
Grant to:   [Full name]
 
Section 1 .  Grant of Restricted Stock Award.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants Restricted Stock to the Participant on the Grant Date on the terms set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, as more fully described in this Attachment A.  This Award is granted under the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement.
 
Section 2 .  Issuance of Shares.
 
(a)      The Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by book-entry registration; provided, however , that the Committee may determine that the Restricted Shares shall be evidenced in such other manner as it deems appropriate, including the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the event that any stock certificate is issued in respect of the Restricted Shares, such certificate shall (i) be registered in the name of the Participant, (ii) bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares and (iii) be held in custody by the Company.
 
(b)       Voting Rights .  The Participant shall have voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares.
 
(c)       Dividends .  All cash and other dividends and distributions, if any, that are paid with respect to any Restricted Shares shall be withheld by the Company and paid to the Participant, without interest, only when, and if, the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with this Agreement.
 
(d)       Transferability .  Unless and until the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with this Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall not be assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise be subject to alienation by the Participant.
 
(e)       Section 83(b) Election .  If the Participant chooses, the Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the  Restricted Shares, which would cause the Participant currently to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the Restricted Shares (determined as of the Grant Date) over the amount, if any, that the Participant paid for the Restricted Shares, which excess will be subject to U.S. federal income tax.  The form for making a Section 83(b) election is attached as Attachment B.   The Participant acknowledges that (i) the Participant is solely responsible for the decision whether or not to make a Section 83(b) election, and the Company is not
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
making any recommendation with respect thereto, (ii) it is his or her sole responsibility to timely file the Section 83(b) election within 30 days after the Grant Date, if the Participant decides to make such election, and (iii) if the Participant does not make a valid and timely Section 83(b) election, the Participant will be required to recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting on any future appreciation on the Restricted Shares.
 
(f)       Withholding Requirements .  The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) that becomes due with respect to the Restricted Shares (or any dividend or distribution thereon), and the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy all such withholding requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit, in its sole discretion, the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement by transferring to the Company pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may require, effective as of the date on which a withholding obligation arises, a number of vested Shares owned and designated by the Participant having an aggregate fair market value as of such date that is equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.  If the Committee permits the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Participant, an amount of cash withholding equal to the fair market value of the Shares transferred to the Company as provided above.  Unless Participant made a Section 83(b) election as set forth in paragraph (e) immediately above, prior to any Scheduled Vesting Date or any other event in connection with the Award that the Company determines may result in any domestic or foreign tax withholding obligation (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), the Participant is required to arrange for the satisfaction of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company.
 
        (i)    By Withholding Shares . Unless Participant elects to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by an alternative means in accordance with sub-paragraph (ii) below, Participant's acceptance of this Award constitutes Participant's instruction and authorization to the Company to withhold on the Participant's behalf the number of Restricted Shares from those Restricted Shares issuable to the Participant at the time when the Award becomes vested as the Company determines to be sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation.
 
        (ii)    By Other Payment . At any time not less than five (5) business days before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., before a Scheduled Vesting Date), Participant may notify the Company of Participant's election to pay Participant's Tax Withholding Obligation by wire transfer, check or other means permitted by the Company. In such case, the Participant shall satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation by paying to the Company on such date as it shall specify an amount that the
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the expected Tax Withholding Obligation by (1) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (2) delivery of a check payable to the Company to an address the Company may from time to time direct, or (3) such other means as the Company may establish or permit. Participant agrees and acknowledges that prior to the date the Tax Withholding Obligation arises, the Company will be required to estimate the amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation and accordingly may require the amount paid to the Company under this sub-paragraph (ii) to be more than the minimum amount that may actually be due and that, if Participant has not delivered payment of a sufficient amount to the Company to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation (regardless of whether as a result of the Company underestimating the required payment or Participant failing to timely make the required payment), the additional Tax Withholding Obligation amounts shall be satisfied in the manner specified in sub-paragraph (i) above.
 
Section 3 .  Vesting of Restricted Shares.
 
(a)       Termination of Employment .
 
(i)       Death, Disability, Retirement or Change in Control .  In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment at any time due to the Participant’s:
 
(A)     death;
 
(B)      Disability;
 
(C)      Retirement;
 
(D)     termination of employment by the Participant for Good Reason within two years following a Change in Control; or
 
(E)      termination of employment by the Company without Cause within two years following a Change in Control;
 
the Restricted Shares shall fully vest as of the date of such termination.  The terms “ Cause ”, “ Change in Control ”, “ Disability ”, “ Good Reason ”, and “ Retirement ” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 6 below.
 
(ii)       Any Other Termination of Service .  In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment at any time for any reason other than the reasons set forth in paragraph 3(a)(i) directly above, the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited in their entirety as of the date of such termination without any payment to the Participant.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment other than by the Company for Cause, the Committee
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting or waive any term or condition (including the Service Condition) of this Agreement, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Shares.  In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, any transfer of the Participant’s employment from the Company to a Subsidiary (or any transfer of the Participant’s employment from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary), related entity, or affiliate of the Company, with or without the Participant’s consent, shall not constitute termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company.  Upon any such transfer of the Participant’s employment, the definition of “ Company ” shall thereafter include any Subsidiary, related entity or affiliate as appropriate to the context in which such term is used; provided , however , that references to “Company” in the definition of “Change in Control” under this Agreement shall continue to refer solely to Verisk Analytics, Inc.
 
(b)       Effect of Vesting .  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the vesting of Restricted Shares, the restrictions under this Award with respect to such Shares shall lapse and such Shares shall be fully assignable, saleable and transferable by the Participant, and the Company shall deliver such Shares, along with any dividends and other distributions that were paid with respect to such Shares but withheld pending vesting, to the Participant.
