To: [________________]
(referred to herein as “you”)
1347 Property Insurance Holdings,
Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to confirm that you have been granted a Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Award
(this “Award”), effective [_______________] (the “Award Date”). This Award is subject to the terms of this
Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice and Agreement (this “Agreement”) and is made under the 1347 Property Insurance Holdings,
Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) which is incorporated into this Agreement
by reference. Any capitalized terms used herein that are otherwise undefined shall have the same meaning provided in the Plan.
| 1. | Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. To be eligible to receive this Award, you must sign
this Agreement and return it to John S. Hill, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, within 30 days after the Award Date.
By signing this Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions herein, the Plan and any and all conditions established
by the Company in connection with Awards issued under the Plan, and you further acknowledge and agree that this Award does not
confer any legal or equitable right (other than those rights constituting the Award itself) against the Company or any subsidiary
directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company. |
| 2. | Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions
specified in the Plan, the prospectus for the 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Plan Prospectus”), and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants you as of the Award Date [________________]
RSUs. These RSUs will remain restricted until the applicable vesting date set forth below (each, a “Vesting Date”).
Prior to the Vesting Dates, the RSUs are not transferable by you by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, or otherwise.
On each of the below-stated Vesting Dates on which you continue to be employed by the Company, you will vest in the below-stated
percentage of the total number of RSUs awarded in this Agreement, until you are 100% vested: |
| Vesting Date |
Vested Percentage of RSUs Awarded |
| The date that the closing price of the Common Shares on the NASDAQ or any other national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are traded equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). |
50% |
| The date that the closing price of the Common Shares on the NASDAQ or any other national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are traded equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). |
50% |
| 3. | Dividend Equivalents.
Subject to the restrictions, limitations and conditions described in the Plan, dividend equivalents payable on the vested RSUs
will be accrued on your behalf for the period between the Vesting Date and the date you are delivered Common Shares. Any
such dividends shall be paid to you, without interest, on the date Common Shares are actually delivered to you under the terms
of this Agreement. |
| 4. | Death or Disability. In the event that you cease active employment with the Company
because of your death or Disability prior to one or more Vesting Dates, all unvested RSUs will vest as of the date of death or
the date you are determined to be experiencing a Disability. |
| 5. | Distribution of Shares Upon Vesting. Common Shares will be delivered to you or, in the event
of your death, your beneficiary, during the 30-day period following the date the corresponding RSUs vest, except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement. |
| 6. | Termination Other than as a Result of Death or Disability. If your employment is terminated
by the Company or by you for any reason other than death or Disability, then all unvested RSUs are forfeited on the date of termination. |
| 7. | Clawback. The
Units and any cash payment or Common Shares delivered pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement are subject to forfeiture, recovery
by the Company or any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may adopt from time
to time, including without limitation any such policy which the Company may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law.
|
| 8. | Adjustments. If the number of outstanding Common Shares is changed as a result of
a stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number of RSUs subject to this Award shall be adjusted
to correspond to the change in the outstanding Common Shares. |
| 9. | Rights as a Stockholder. By accepting this Award, you shall have no rights as a stockholder
of the Company in respect of the RSUs, including the right to vote until and unless the RSUs have vested and ownership of Common
Shares issuable upon vesting of the RSUs has been transferred to you. |
| 10. | Public Offer Waiver. By voluntarily accepting this Award, you acknowledge and understand
that your rights under the Plan are offered to you strictly as an employee of the Company and that this Award of RSUs is not an
offer of securities made to the general public. |
| 11. | Conformity with the Plan and Share Ownership and Retention Requirements. This Award is intended
to conform in all respects with, and is subject to, all applicable provisions of the Plan. Inconsistencies between this Agreement,
the Plan Prospectus or the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. By your acceptance of this Agreement,
you agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and the Plan Prospectus. |
| 12. | Interpretations. Any dispute, disagreement or question that arises under, or as a result
of, or in any way relates to the interpretation, construction or application of the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or the Plan
Prospectus will be determined and resolved by the Committee or its authorized delegate. Such determination or resolution by the
Committee or its authorized delegate will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes. |
| 13. | No Rights to Continued Employment. By voluntarily acknowledging and accepting this Award,
you acknowledge and understand that this Award shall not form part of any contract of employment between you and the Company. Nothing
in the Agreement, the Plan Prospectus, or the Plan confers on you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or in any
way affects the Company’s right to terminate your employment without prior notice at any time or for any reason. You further
acknowledge that this Award is for future services to the Company and is not under any circumstances to be considered compensation
for past services. |
| 14. | Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended
or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award, and any such modification, amendment,
suspension or termination will not constitute a constructive or wrongful dismissal; (b) the RSUs are extraordinary items and are
not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance,
resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, pension or welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments;
(c) in no event should the RSUs be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, nor
are the RSUs or the underlying Common Shares intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (d) the future value of the
underlying Common Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, and (e) the Company is not providing any tax, legal
or financial advice. |
| a. | Modification. The Award of these RSUs is documented by the records of the Committee or its
delegate which shall be the final determinant of the number of Common Shares granted and the conditions of this Agreement. The
Committee may amend or modify this Award in any manner to the extent that the Committee would have had the authority under the
Plan initially to grant such Award, provided that no such amendment or modification shall impair your rights under this Agreement
without your consent. Except as in accordance with the two immediately preceding sentences and Paragraph 16, this Agreement may
be amended, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. |
| b. | Governing Law. All matters arising under this Agreement, including matters of validity,
construction and interpretation, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any state’s
conflict of law principles. |
| c. | Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. |
| d. | Severability. Whenever feasible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of this Agreement. |
| e. | Impact Upon Termination of Employment. By voluntarily acknowledging and accepting this Award,
you agree that no benefits accruing under the Plan will be reflected in any severance or indemnity payments that the Company may
make or be required to make to you in the future, regardless of the jurisdiction in which you may be located. |
| 16. | Amendment. By accepting this Award, you agree that the granting of the Award is at the discretion
of the Committee and that acceptance of this Award is no guarantee that future Awards will be granted |
under
the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Plan Prospectus, or the Plan to the contrary, this Award may be amended
by the Company without your consent, including but not limited to modifications to any of the rights granted to you under this
Agreement, at such time and in such manner as the Company may consider necessary or desirable to reflect changes in law, including,
but not limited to, exchange listing requirements. You understand that the Company may amend, resubmit, alter, change, suspend,
cancel, or discontinue the Plan at any time without limitation.
| 17. | Imposition of Other
Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and
on any Common Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply
with applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings
that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. If the Company reasonably anticipates that the income tax deduction with
respect to a payment under this Award would be limited or eliminated by application of Section 162(m) of the Code, then to the
extent permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii), payment shall be deferred as deemed necessary to ensure that the entire
amount of Common Shares payable under this Award is deductible. Any Common Shares that are not paid due to this Section 162(m)
limitation shall continue to be credited with dividends. Any delayed payment of Common Shares (and related dividends, if any) shall
be paid to the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable following the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates that the
deduction of a delayed payment will not be limited or eliminated by application of Section 162(m) of the Code. |
| 18. | Taxes. You acknowledge that (a) the ultimate liability for any and all taxes payable
with respect to your benefits under this Award, including but not limited to federal and state income and employment taxes (collectively,
“Tax-Related Items”) are your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and (b) the
Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect
of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting and/or conversion of the RSUs and issuance of Common Shares; (ii)
does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate
your liability for Tax-Related Items; (iii) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction
if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Award Date and the date of any relevant taxable event;
and (iv) may refuse to deliver the Common Shares to you if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related
Items as provided in this Section. You agree to pay any such Tax-Related items in cash unless otherwise agreed by the Company. |
| 19. | Section 409A Provisions. The payment of Common Shares under the Award is intended to be
exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption set forth in Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Award to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or
benefit hereunder that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder
is otherwise payable or distributable to you under the Plan or the Award solely by reason of the occurrence of a termination of
employment following a Change of Control or due to your Disability, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable
to you by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the termination of employment following
a Change in Control constitutes a “separation from service” or the Disability is a “disability”, as the
case may be, under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such
amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise.
In no event shall the Company have any responsibility for tax consequences to you (or your |
beneficiary)
resulting from the terms or operation of this Award Agreement. Any payment or distribution that constitutes nonqualified deferred
compensation subject to Section 409A and that becomes payable to you while you are a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)
of the Code on account of separation from service instead shall be made on the earlier of the date that is six months and one day
after the date of such separation from service and your death.
| | The undersigned hereby acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to all terms and provisions of the foregoing
Agreement. |

Agreement must be returned to John S. Hill, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, within 30 days OF the AWARD Date.
