LPT Reserve Adjustments result in a cumulative adjustment to the Deferred Gain, which is recognized in losses and LAE incurred on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, such that the Deferred Gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised reserves been recognized at the inception of the LPT Agreement.
|
(2)
|
LPT Contingent Commission Adjustments result in an adjustment to the Deferred Gain, which is recognized in losses and LAE incurred on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, such that the Deferred Gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised contingent profit commission been recognized at the inception of the LPT Agreement.
|
(3)
|
We define net income before impact of the LPT Agreement as net income before the impact of: (a) amortization of the Deferred Gain; (b) adjustments to the LPT Agreement ceded reserves; and (c) adjustments to the Contingent commission receivable–LPT Agreement. The Deferred Gain reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. Under GAAP, this gain is deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method in which amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries over the life of the LPT Agreement, except for the contingent profit commission, which is amortized through June 30, 2024. The amortization is reflected in losses and LAE. We periodically reevaluate the remaining direct reserves subject to the LPT Agreement and the expected losses and LAE subject to the contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement. Our reevaluation results in corresponding adjustments, if needed, to reserves, ceded reserves, contingent commission receivable, and the Deferred Gain, with the net effect being an increase or decrease to our net income. Net income before impact of the LPT Agreement is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, but rather reflects a difference in accounting treatment between statutory and GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income before income taxes or net income, or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.

Estimated losses and LAE reserve payment patterns have been computed based on historical information. Our calculation of loss and LAE reserve payments by period is subject to the same uncertainties associated with determining the level of reserves and to the additional uncertainties arising from the difficulty of predicting when claims (including claims that have not yet been reported to us) will be paid. Actual payments of losses and LAE by period will vary, perhaps materially, from the above table to the extent that current estimates of losses and LAE reserves vary from actual ultimate claims amounts due to variations between expected and actual payout patterns.

The unpaid losses and LAE reserves are presented gross of reinsurance recoverables for unpaid losses, which were as follows for each of the periods presented above:

Compensation and Benefits.
|
(a)
|
During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Employee an annual salary of not less than $330,000 (“Base Salary”), which amount shall be paid according to the Company’s regular payroll practices. The Company agrees to review the Base Salary on an annual basis and adjust the salary to comply with the executive compensation policy in effect at the time of the review. Any adjustment made to the annual salary will establish the new Base Salary for the Employee. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to this subsection 4(a), shall be reduced by and subject to withholding for all federal, state, and local taxes and any other withholding required by applicable laws and regulations.
|
(b)
|
The Company will provide an annual incentive (the “Annual Incentive”) to the Employee during the Term based on the Employee’s and the Company’s performance, as determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion. In this regard, the Board (or a committee thereof) shall set an annual incentive target of not less than fifty five percent (55%) of Base Salary, and the Annual Incentive shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular practice for its senior officers, as in effect from time to time. To the extent not duplicative of the specific benefits provided herein, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in all incentive compensation, retirement, supplemental retirement and deferred compensation plans, policies and arrangements that are provided generally to other senior officers of the Company at a level (in terms of the amount and types of benefits and incentive compensation that the Employee has the opportunity to receive and the terms thereof) determined in the sole discretion of the Board (or a committee thereof).
|
(c)
|
The Employee agrees that the amounts payable and benefits provided under this Agreement, including but not limited to any amounts payable or benefits provided under this Section 4 and Section 7 constitute good, valuable and separate consideration for the non-competition, assignment and release of liability provisions contained herein. The Employee acknowledges that he is aware of the effect of the non-competition, assignment and release of liability provisions contained herein and agrees that the amounts payable and benefits provided under this Agreement, including but not limited to the amounts payable and benefits provided under this Section 4 and Section 7, if any, constitute sufficient consideration for his agreement to these provisions.

|
Payments Upon Termination.
|
(a)
|
Qualifying Termination and Severance Pay. If the Company terminates the Employee's employment prior to the expiration of the Term but other than during the CIC Period (as defined below) for any reason other than as specified above in subsection 6(a) for Cause, subsection 6(c)(i) by reason of the death of the Employee, or subsection 6(c)(ii) for disability, or if the Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to subsection 6(b), the Employee shall receive the following severance pay (the “Severance Pay”):
|
(i)
|
In lieu of any further salary payments to the Employee for periods subsequent to the Termination Date and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Employee, an amount equal to two (2) times Base Salary, payable in equal bi-weekly installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates as in effect on such Termination Date, for twenty four (24) months following the Termination Date, with payments commencing on the payroll date applicable to the first full payroll period occurring following the Applicable Release Period (as defined below), which first payment date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the Termination Date; provided, however, that (A) such payments shall be delayed to the extent required under subsection 7(c)(iv) or Section 26 below and (B) the amount of the first payment shall be equal to the total amount of bi-weekly installments that would have been paid had the first payment been made on the first full payroll date occurring following the Termination Date, with each subsequent payment equal to the bi-weekly installment. The payments shall be subject to normal payroll deductions.
|
(ii)
|
Continuation of the medical, dental and vision insurance coverage in effect on the Termination Date for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date with the Company paying the employer portion of the premium and the Employee paying the employee portion, including dependents if applicable, of the premium during such eighteen (18) month period, provided that the Employee elects to continue such insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”). The Employee is solely responsible for taking the actions necessary to exercise his rights under COBRA for the insurance coverage the Employee has in effect, including coverage for dependents if applicable, on the Termination Date.
|
(b)
|
Severance Pay as Liquidated Damages. The parties agree, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the Company with respect to which the Employee has given notice and that is not cured, in either case, in accordance with subsection 6(b), following which the Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason, that actual damages are speculative and that the amount of the Severance Pay or, if applicable, the CIC Severance Pay (as defined below) set forth herein is liquidated damages and is a reasonable estimate of what damages would be for a material breach of this Agreement.
|
(c)
|
Conditions to Severance Pay or CIC Severance Pay; the Applicable Release Period. The Employee agrees and acknowledges that the following must be satisfied by the Employee before he is entitled to the Severance Pay or, if applicable, the CIC Severance Pay, as provided in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) herein:
|
(i)
|
That the Employee returns any and all equipment, software, data, property and information of the Company or the Company Affiliates, including documents and records or copies thereof relating in any way to any proprietary information of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates whether prepared by the Employee or any other person or entity. That the Employee further agrees that he shall not retain any proprietary information of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates after the Termination Date;
|
(ii)
|
That the Employee executes a separation agreement and release of claims, in a form to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which releases the Company and the Company Affiliates from liability for any and all claims, complaints and causes of action, whether based in law or equity, arising from, related to or associated with the Employee’s employment by the Company or under this Agreement and that such release has become effective and non-revocable no later than sixty (60) days following the Termination Date (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the release of claims does not become effective by the Release Deadline, the Employee will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable. That the Employee further acknowledges and agrees that he has not made and will not make any assignment of any claim, cause or right of action, or any right of any kind whatsoever, arising from, related to or associated with the employment of the Employee by the Company; and
|
(iii)
|
That the Employee reaffirms the covenants contained herein, in writing, including, but not limited to, the covenants set forth in Section 10.
|
(iv)
|
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in any case where the first and last days of the applicable release and nonrevocability periods provided for in the separation agreement and release of claims (the “Applicable Release Period”) are in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to the Employee under this Agreement that are treated as deferred compensation for purposes of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) shall be made in the later taxable year, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the Applicable Release Period. In addition to the foregoing, the Applicable Release Period shall conclude no later than sixty (60) days following the Termination Date.
|
(d)
|
Voluntary Termination by the Employee. The Employee may terminate his employment and this Agreement for reasons other than those identified in subsection 6(b) upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice. If the Employee terminates his employment and this Agreement pursuant to this subsection 7(d), he shall be entitled only to the following:
|
(i)
|
Any unpaid salary through the Termination Date; and
|
(ii)
|
Payment for any accrued and unused vacation as of the Termination Date.
|
(e)
|
Qualifying Change in Control Termination. If, before the expiration of the Term, the Company terminates the Employee's employment within the period commencing six (6) months prior to and ending eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control (as defined below), such period referred to herein as the “CIC Period,” for any reason other than as specified above in subsection 6(a) for Cause, subsection 6(c)(i) for the death of the Employee, or subsection 6(c)(ii) for disability, or if the Employee terminates his employment and this Agreement for Good Reason pursuant to subsection 6(b), the Employee shall receive the severance pay set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) below (the “CIC Severance Pay”), provided that if the Employee’s employment is terminated during the six (6) month period prior to a Change in Control, the Employee shall be entitled to CIC Severance Pay only if such termination (x) was by the Company other than for Cause but at the request or direction of any person that has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (y) was by the Employee for Good Reason and the circumstance or event that constitutes Good Reason occurred at the request or direction of such person or (z) was by the Company without Cause and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination was otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control; and if the Employee is not entitled to CIC Severance Pay hereunder, then the Employee's termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred during the CIC Period for purposes of subsection 7(a):
|
(i)
|
In lieu of any further salary payments to the Employee for periods subsequent to the Termination Date and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Employee, a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) Base Salary and (B) (i) if the Change in Control occurs in 2019, $181,500, (ii) if the Change in Control occurs in 2020, the average of $181,500 and the annual bonus amount earned by the Employee for 2019, or (iii) if the Change in Control occurs in 2021, the average of the annual bonus amounts earned by the Employee for the two (2) years preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs. Such payment shall be made as soon as practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days) following the Termination Date; provided, however, that such payment shall be delayed to the extent required under subsection 7(c)(iv) or Section 26 below; and
|
(ii)
|
Continuation of the medical, dental and vision insurance coverage in effect on the Employee's Termination Date for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date with the Company paying the employer portion of the premium and the Employee paying the employee portion, including dependents if applicable, of the premium during such eighteen (18)-month period, provided that the Employee elects to continue such insurance coverage under COBRA. The Employee is solely responsible for taking the actions necessary to exercise his rights under COBRA for the insurance coverage the Employee has in effect, including coverage for dependents if applicable, on the Termination Date.
|
(f)
|
Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:
|
(i)
|
Any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company; or
|
(ii)
|
Any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons)
|
(iii)
|
A majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12)-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; or
|
(iv)
|
Any one person or group acquires (or has acquired during the immediately preceding twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition) assets of the Company with an aggregate gross fair market value of not less than forty percent (40%) of the aggregate gross fair market value of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition. For this purpose, gross fair market value shall mean the fair value of the affected assets determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
|
(g)
|
No Duplication of Payments or Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Employee shall not be eligible to receive any payments or benefits under both subsections 7(a) and 7(e); but rather, to the extent the conditions set forth in subsection 7(a) and subsection 7(e) are satisfied, the Employee shall be eligible to receive payments and benefits under only subsection 7(e).
|
(h)
|
Golden Parachute (Section 280G) Safe Harbor.
|
(i)
|
If it is determined that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Employee, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the “Severance Payments”), is a “parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Code (all such payments and benefits, including the Severance Payments as applicable hereinafter called the “Total Payments”) that will be subject (in whole or part) to the tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then if (A) the Total Payments exceed the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Total Payments being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor”), and (B) the reduction of the Total Payments to an amount equal to the Safe Harbor would provide the Employee with a greater after-tax amount than would be provided to the Employee if the Total Payments were not reduced, then the amounts payable to the Employee under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Safe Harbor. If the Severance Payments are reduced pursuant to this subsection, then the non-cash portion of the Total Payments shall first be reduced, and the cash portion of the Total Payments shall thereafter be reduced (in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits that are to be paid or provided the farthest in time from the Change in Control), so that the amount of the Total Payments is equal to the Safe Harbor. Any reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement governing the Employee’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.
|
(ii)
|
For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (A) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) selected by the Board in existence immediately prior to the Change in Control, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (B) the Severance Payments shall be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments (other than those referred to in clause (A)) in their entirety constitute reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as deductions by reason of section 280G of the Code, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, and (C) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Company's independent auditor in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. If the Employee disputes the Company's calculations (in whole or in part), the reasonable opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the matter in dispute shall prevail.
|
(iii)
|
In the event that a change is finally determined to be required in the amount of taxes paid by, or withheld on behalf of, the Employee, then appropriate adjustments will be made under this Agreement such that the net amount that is payable to the Employee reflects the intent of the parties pursuant to this
|
(iv)
|
The Employee and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments. The Company also shall pay to the Employee all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Such payments shall be made within sixty (60) business days after delivery of the Employee's written request for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require (but in no event shall any such payment be made after the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred), provided that no such payment shall be made in respect of fees or expenses incurred by the Employee after the later of the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date of the Employee's termination with the Company or the Employee's death and, provided further, that, upon the Employee’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A) with the Company, in no event shall any additional such payments be made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” to the extent such payment delay is required under section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code.

|
Restrictive Covenants.
|
(a)
|
Non-Competition. The Employee understands and agrees that the Company and the Company Affiliates do business throughout the State of Nevada and other states. The Employee further understands and agrees that he is a high ranking officer of the Company and will have access to confidential and trade secret information and goodwill of the Company and the Company Affiliates that will allow the Employee to unfairly compete with the Company and the Company Affiliates justifying this restriction. If the Employee's employment is terminated (by either the Employee or the Company), during the Term, for any reason other than as specified above in subsection 6(c)(i) by reason of the death of the Employee, then for a period of eighteen (18) months commencing on the Termination Date, the Employee agrees that, without the written permission of the Company, he will not hold the same or a similar position (whether as owner, partner, controlling stockholder, controlling investor, employee, adviser, consultant, or otherwise) in any business that is in direct competition with the business being conducted by the Company or any of the Company Affiliates as of the Termination Date, in Nevada or in any other state in which the Company is conducting such business (the “Non-Compete Area”) as of the Termination Date.
|
(b)
|
Non-Solicitation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Employee agrees that for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Employee's Termination Date (for any reason, by either the Employee or the Employer), he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit, within the Non-Compete Area, (i) any business from any person or entity that the Company or any of the Company Affiliates called upon, solicited, or conducted business with as of such Termination Date, provided that the Employee was aware of the Company’s business with such person or entity, (ii) any persons or entities that have been customers of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates or (iii) recruit or solicit any person who has been or is an employee of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, during the preceding one (1)-year period from the Termination Date. Nothing in this Section 10(b) prohibits the Employee from the placement of general advertisements and/or participation at job fairs or recruiting workshops that are not specifically targeted toward any employee or customer of the Company.
|
(c)
|
In the event the Employee violates subsection 10(a) or 10(b), the applicable period of time during which the respective restriction applies will automatically be extended for the period of time from which the Employee began such violation until he permanently ceases such violation. If any provision of these covenants is invalid in whole or in part, it will be limited, whether as to time, area covered, or otherwise as and to the extent required for its validity under the applicable law and as so limited, will be enforceable.
|
(d)
|
Confidential Information. The Employee acknowledges that he has had or will have access to the confidential information of the Company and the Company Affiliates (including, but not limited to, records regarding sales, price and cost information, marketing plans, customer names, customer lists, sales techniques, distribution plans or procedures, and other material relating to the business conducted by the Company and the Company Affiliates), proprietary, or trade secret information (the “Confidential Information”), and agrees, subject to his right to engage in Protected Activity as defined herein, never to use the Confidential Information other than for the sole benefit of the Company and the Company Affiliates and further agrees to never disclose such Confidential Information (except as may be required by regulatory authorities or as may be required by law) to any entity or person that is not an officer of the Company or a Company Affiliate at the time of such disclosure, without the prior written consent of the Company. The Employee further acknowledges that this covenant to maintain Confidential Information is necessary to protect the goodwill and proprietary interests of the Company and the Company Affiliates and the restriction against the disclosure of Confidential Information is reasonable in light of the consideration and other value the Employee has received or will receive pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise pursuant to his employment by the Company.
|
(e)
|
From and following the Employee's termination of employment, the Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company and the Company Affiliates in any litigation, administrative proceeding, investigation or audit involving any matters with which the Employee has knowledge of from his employment with the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for reasonable expenses, including reasonable compensation for services rendered at his hourly rate of compensation as of the Termination Date, incurred in providing such assistance and approved by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for such expenses incurred in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Company, but in no event no later than the end of the year following the year in which the expenses were incurred.
|
(f)
|
In the event of a violation of this Section 10, the Company and the Company Affiliates shall be entitled to any form of relief at law or equity, and the parties agree and acknowledge that injunctive relief is an appropriate, but not exclusive, remedy to enforce the provisions hereof. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense of the Company’s enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Section 10. The Employee hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and federal courts therein for the purposes of any actions or proceedings instituted by the Company to enforce its rights under this Agreement, to seek money damages or seek injunctive relief. The Employee further acknowledges and agrees (i) that the obligations contained in Section 10 of this Agreement are necessary to protect the interests of the Company and the Company Affiliates, (ii) that the restrictions contained herein are fair, do not unreasonably restrict the Employee's further employment and business opportunities, and are commensurate with the compensation arrangements set out in this Agreement and (iii) that such compensation arrangements constitute separate consideration for the obligations set forth in this Section 10. The covenants contained in Section 10 shall each be construed as an agreement independent of any other provisions of this Agreement. Both parties intend to make the covenants of Section 10 binding only to the extent that it may be lawfully done under existing applicable laws. If a court of competent jurisdiction decides any part of any covenant is overly broad, thereby making the covenant unenforceable, the parties agree that such court shall substitute a reasonable, judicially enforceable limitation in place of the offensive part of the covenant and as so modified the covenant shall be as fully enforceable as set forth herein by the parties themselves in the modified form.
|
(g)
|
The Employee acknowledges that it is possible that the corporate structure of the Company could change during the Term. The Employee hereby acknowledges and affirms that the Company may assign its rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to its rights to enforce the covenants set forth in this Section 10, to a third-party without the approval of or additional consideration to the Employee. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the consideration called for herein is good and sufficient consideration for the Company's right to assign its rights under this Agreement.
|
(h)
|
Subsections 10(a) through (g), inclusive, of this Agreement shall survive either termination of the employment relationship and/or termination of this Agreement for the full period set forth in subsections 10(a) through (g), inclusive.
