LONG-TERM DEBT

Florida State Board of Administration Note Payable

Our long-term debt at June 30, 2016 included a note payable to the Florida State Board of Administration (SBA note). At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we owed $11,765,000 and $12,353,000, respectively, on the note and the interest rate was 1.83% and 2.05%, respectively. All other terms and conditions of the note remain as described in our 2015 Form 10-K.

The $11,765,000 SBA note requires UPC to maintain surplus as regards policyholders at or above a calculated level, which was $31,765,000 at June 30, 2016. Each quarter, we monitor the surplus as regards policyholders for both of our insurance affiliates and, for various reasons, we occasionally provide additional capital to our insurance affiliates. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, we contributed $6,000,000 and $11,000,000, respectively, of capital to our insurance affiliates. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, no contributions were made to our insurance affiliates. We may make future contributions of capital to our insurance affiliates as circumstances require.

Our SBA note requires that UPC maintain either a 2:1 ratio of net written premium to surplus, or net writing ratio, or a 6:1 ratio of gross written premium to surplus, or gross writing ratio, to avoid additional interest penalties. The SBA note agreement defines surplus for the purpose of calculating the required ratios as the $20,000,000 of capital contributed to UPC under the agreement plus the outstanding balance of the note. At June 30, 2016, UPC's net written premium to surplus ratio was 6.6:1, which is well above the 2:1 required ratio. UPC's gross written premium to surplus ratio was 10.5:1, which exceeds the required ratio of 6:1. Should UPC fail to exceed either a net writing ratio of 1.5:1 or a gross writing ratio of 4.5:1, UPC's interest rate will increase by 450 basis points above the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate which was 1.49% at the end of June 2016. Any other writing ratio deficiencies result in an interest rate penalty of 25 basis points above the stated rate of the note, which is 1.83% at the end of June 2016. Our SBA note further provides that the SBA may, among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable for all defaults existing under the SBA note; however, any payment is subject to approval by the insurance regulatory authority. At June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with the covenants of the SBA note.

Interboro, LLC Promissory Note Payable

On April 29, 2016, we issued an $8,550,000 promissory note to Interboro, LLC, the former parent company of Interboro Insurance Company, as part of the purchase price paid to acquire our newest insurance affiliate. The note will mature in 18 months after the closing of the transaction and bears interest at an annual rate of 6%. In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, we have the right to reduce the amount of the outstanding principal by the amount of all or part of any loss relating to a claim for indemnification to which we may be entitled under the stock purchase agreement.

In the event of default, Interboro, LLC, at its option, may declare the loan immediately due and payable.

BB&T Term Note Payable

On May 26, 2016, we issued a $5,200,000, 15-year term note payable to BB&T (the BB&T note). The note bears interest at 1.65% in excess of the one month LIBOR. The interest rate resets monthly and was 2.13% at June 30, 2016. Principal and interest are payable monthly and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we paid $29,000 and $10,000 of principal and interest, respectively.

The BB&T note requires that at all times while there has been no "Non-Recurring Losses", UPC Insurance will maintain a minimum Cash Flow Coverage ratio of 1.2:1. The Cash Flow Coverage ratio is defined as UPC Insurance's cash flow to borrower's debt services. Cash flow is defined as earnings before taxes, plus depreciation and amortization and interest. Debt service is defined as prior year's current maturities of long term debt plus interest expense. This ratio will be tested annually, based on UPC Insurance's audited financial statements. For the annual period only following a "Non-Recurring Loss", UPC Insurance will maintain a minimum Cash Flow Coverage ratio of 1.0:1.

For purposes of both of the foregoing, "Non-Recurring Losses" is defined as losses from our insurance subsidiaries' operations, as determined from time to time in the bank's sole discretion. This covenant will only be effective if the Pre Non-Recurring Losses test is failed, and is only available and effective for one (1) annual test period. Thereafter, the Non-Recurring Loss Cash Flow Coverage Ratio of 1.2:1 will immediately apply.

In the event of default, BB&T, may among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable, require us to pledge additional collateral to the bank, and take possession of and foreclose upon our home office which has been pledged to the bank as security for the loan.
