Amendment No. 1 to the Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2015, by and between Tiptree Asset Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Employer”), and Jonathan Ilany, an individual (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have entered into an Executive Employment and Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2014 (the “Original Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Original Agreement in order to reflect a title change of the Executive and to provide for the continued service of the Executive.
