SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 3, 2018, among OMH Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”), Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and OneMain Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of 59,117,178 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, 54,937,500 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Seller (the “Shares”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

WHEREAS, the Company, Purchaser and Seller desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Share Purchase and also to prescribe various conditions to the Share Purchase;

WHEREAS, in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement, Purchaser and the Company are entering into the A&R Stockholder Agreement which sets forth certain rights and obligations of Purchaser and the Company following the completion of the Share Purchase; and

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 9.03.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and covenants herein and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Share Purchase

Section 1.01.          Share Purchase.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all the Shares, which Shares shall be sold, transferred and delivered with full legal and beneficial title and ownership, free and clear of all Liens (other than those arising under applicable securities Laws or as a result of the actions of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) and together with all rights attached thereto, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,428,375,000 (the “Purchase Price”).  The purchase and sale of the Shares is referred to in this Agreement as the “Share Purchase”.

Section 1.02.          Closing.  The closing (the “Closing”) of the Share Purchase shall take place at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, 825 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10019 at 9 a.m., Eastern time, on a date to be specified by Seller and Purchaser, which shall be no later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Seller and Purchaser.  The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

4

Section 1.03.          At the Closing:

(a)          Purchaser shall pay, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts designated by Seller in writing at least two business days prior to the Closing Date, an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price;

(b)          Seller and the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to transfer the Shares to Purchaser, including, to the extent the Shares are represented by certificates, delivering to Purchaser, or causing to be delivered to Purchaser, instruments of transfer as reasonably required to transfer the Shares;

(c)          the Company shall deliver to Purchaser the A&R Stockholders Agreement, duly executed by the Company, and Purchaser shall deliver to the Company the A&R Stockholders Agreement, duly executed by Purchaser; and

(d)          Seller shall deliver a certificate of Seller’s non-foreign status complying with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b).

Section 1.04.          Withholding.  Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable hereunder any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under any applicable Tax Law. If any such deduction or withholding is anticipated by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Seller at least five (5) days in advance of Closing (including a reasonable description of the basis for such withholding); provided, however, a failure to provide such notice shall not preclude Purchaser from deducting or withholding in accordance with applicable Tax Law. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be timely paid to the applicable taxing authority and shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to Seller; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Law that occurs after the date of this Agreement, the parties agree that no withholding shall be made under Section 1445 of the Code with respect to the amounts payable under this Agreement if Seller delivers to Purchaser the certificate described in Section 1.03(d).

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties of Seller

Seller represents and warrants to each of Purchaser and the Company that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct.

Section 2.01.          Organization, Standing and Power.  Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has all corporate or similar organizational power and authority required to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated hereby and to perform each of its obligations hereunder.  Seller has the full legal right, power and authority to sell, assign, transfer, deliver and convey the Shares in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.02.          Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability.  Seller has all requisite corporate or similar organizational power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  No corporate or stockholder proceedings on the part of Seller are necessary to authorize, adopt or approve, as applicable, this Agreement or to consummate the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Seller has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser and the Company, this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except, in each case, as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

5

Section 2.03.          No Conflicts; Consents.

(a)          The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or (solely with respect to clause (ii)) give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, any obligation to make an offer to purchase or redeem any Indebtedness or capital stock or any loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Seller under, any provision of (i) the governing or organizational documents of Seller; (ii) any written contract, lease, license, indenture, note, bond, agreement, understanding, undertaking, concession, franchise or other instrument (in each case, to the extent legally binding on the parties thereto) (a “Contract”) to which Seller is a party or by which any of its respective properties or assets is bound; or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 2.03(b), as of the date hereof, any judgment, order or decree (“Judgment”) or statute, law (including common law), ordinance, rule or regulation (“Law”) or Permit, in each case, applicable to Seller or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(b)          No governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals (each a “Permit” and collectively, the “Permits”), consent, approval, clearance, waiver or order (collectively, with the Permits, the “Consents” and each, a “Consent”) of or from, or registration, declaration, notice or filing made to or with any federal, national, state, provincial or local, whether domestic or foreign, government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative, consumer lending, insurance or regulatory agency or commission, or other governmental authority or instrumentality, whether domestic, foreign or supranational (a “Governmental Entity”), is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or its performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (i) compliance with and filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (ii) the filing with the SEC of such reports under, and such other compliance with, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) such other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.03 does not address any Permits, Consents, registrations, declarations relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, which are addressed in Section 4.05(b).

Section 2.04.          Ownership of the Shares.  Seller is the owner of the Shares and has good and valid title to such Shares free and clear of all Liens (other than those arising under applicable securities Laws or as a result of the actions of Purchaser and its Affiliates).  Assuming Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to be the lawful owner of the Shares, upon the consummation of the Share Purchase at the Closing, good and valid title to such Shares will pass to Purchaser, free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising under applicable securities Laws or as a result of the actions of Purchaser and its Affiliates).

Section 2.05.          Brokers’ Fees and Expenses.  No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person, other than such Persons, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by Seller, is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Share Purchase or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Seller.

Section 2.06.          No Other Representations or Warranties.  Except for the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Article III or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser to Seller, Seller acknowledges that (x) neither Purchaser nor any other Person on behalf of Purchaser makes, or has made, any representation or warranty relating to itself or its business or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Share Purchase or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Seller is not relying on any representation or warranty of Purchaser except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and (y) no person has been authorized by Purchaser or any other Person on behalf of Purchaser to make any representation or warranty relating to itself or its business or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the Share Purchase, and if made, such representation or warranty shall not be relied upon by Seller as having been authorized by such entity.

Purchaser is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.02.          Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability.

Section 3.03.          No Conflicts; Consents.

(a)          The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or (solely with respect to clause (ii)) give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, any obligation to make an offer to purchase or redeem any Indebtedness or capital stock or any loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser under, any provision of (i) the governing or organizational documents of Purchaser; (ii) any Contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which any of its respective properties or assets is bound; or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.03(b), as of the date hereof, any Judgment or statute, law (including common law), Law or Permit, in each case, applicable to Purchaser or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

(b)          No Consent of or from, or registration, declaration, notice or filing made to or with any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or its performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (i) (A) compliance with and filings under the HSR Act and (B) the filing of applications and notices with, and receipt of approvals, licenses or consents from, applicable state regulatory authorities governing consumer lending and insurance in the various states in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary operates, (ii) the filing with the SEC of such reports under, and such other compliance with, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) such other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person, other than such Persons, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by Purchaser, is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Share Purchase or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser.

Section 3.05.          Business of Purchaser.  Since its date of incorporation, Purchaser has not carried on any business nor conducted any operations other than the execution of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letters, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and matters ancillary thereto.

None of (i) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (ii) the Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates has been, at any time during the three years prior to the date hereof, an “interested stockholder” of the Company, as defined in the Company Charter.  As of the date of this Agreement, none of Purchaser, the Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates owns any shares of capital stock of the Company or has any rights to acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company (except pursuant to this Agreement).

Section 3.07.          Financing.  Purchaser has delivered to Seller true and complete copies of fully executed commitment letters dated as of the date hereof (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement, the “Equity Commitment Letters”) from each of Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners VIII, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware) VIII, L.P. and Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware 892) VIII, L.P.

The only conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the obligations of the Sponsors to fund the full amount of the Equity Commitments are those expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters, and there are no side letters or other Contracts to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party that contain any such conditions precedent or other contingencies.

ARTICLE VI

Additional Agreements

Section 6.01.          Access to Information; Confidentiality.  Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford to Purchaser and to the Representatives of Purchaser reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice, during the period prior to the Closing, to all their respective properties, books, contracts, loan tapes, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish reasonably promptly to Purchaser (a) to the extent not publicly available, a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws or commission actions and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Purchaser may reasonably request (in each case, in a manner so as to not interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to permit such access or make such disclosure, to the extent it determines, after consultation with counsel, that such disclosure or access would reasonably be likely to (i) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a third party (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any amount of money to any Person to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure); (ii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege); or (iii) violate any Law (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or make such disclosure in a manner that does not violate Law).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to provide any access or make any disclosure to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.01 to the extent such access or information is reasonably pertinent to a litigation where the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties.  All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated as of July 25, 2017, between Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 6.02.          Efforts to Consummate.

(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Seller, Purchaser and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to reasonably promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective as reasonably promptly as practicable after the date hereof the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including: (i) preparing and filing with a Governmental Entity as reasonably promptly as practicable all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, ruling requests and other documents, and to obtain as reasonably promptly as practicable all Consents necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Entity, including pursuant to lending, consumer credit and insurer control requirements, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Governmental Approvals”) (and Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing fees incident thereto) and (ii) subject to Section 6.02(e), as reasonably promptly as practicable taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain all such Governmental Approvals.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to (A) make an appropriate and complete filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby within 10 Business Days of the date of this Agreement, (B) make appropriate and complete filings to obtain all consents, authorizations or approvals of state regulatory authorities or commissions governing consumer lending and insurance in the various states in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary operates that are required to be made in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably promptly as practicable (the “State Regulatory Approvals”), (C) make all other filings that are required to be made in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to other Regulatory Laws or other applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably promptly as practicable, and (D) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act, or enter into any agreement with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Seller, the Purchaser or the Company (as the case may be) (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Seller, Purchaser and the Company shall supply, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to supply, as reasonably promptly as practicable, any additional information or documentation that may be requested pursuant to or in connection with the HSR Act, the State Regulatory Approvals, any other Regulatory Law or any other applicable Law (including, with respect to Purchaser and its Affiliates, (x) providing financial reports, certificates, legal opinions or other information, (y) making Representatives, members of senior management, control persons and any other Person requested pursuant to or in connection with the HSR Act, the State Regulatory Approvals, any other Regulatory Law or any other applicable Law, in each case, with appropriate seniority and expertise, available to participate in discussions or hearings and (z) providing personal information, including fingerprints, personal financial statements and securities holdings, of members of senior management and control persons (as determined by the applicable Governmental Entity) requested pursuant to or in connection with the HSR Act, the State Regulatory Approvals, any other Regulatory Law or any other applicable Law) and use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, any other Regulatory Law and any State Regulatory Approvals as soon as possible (including complying with any “second request” for information or similar request from a Governmental Entity pursuant to any Regulatory Laws or State Regulatory Approvals).

21

(b)          In connection with the actions referenced in Section 6.02(a) to obtain all Governmental Approvals for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the State Regulatory Approvals, any other Regulatory Laws or any other applicable Laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”), Seller, Purchaser and the Company shall (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any communication, filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other parties and/or their counsel promptly informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other U.S. or other Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other Governmental Entity or other person, give the other parties and/or their counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and (iv) permit the other parties and/or their counsel to review in advance any submission, filing or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity; provided that (A) materials may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and (B) no party shall be required to disclose to the other party any of its or its Affiliates’ confidential or competitively sensitive information, or any personally identifiable information, financial information or non-public information of any natural person (it being understood, in the event that the restriction in clause (B) of this Section 6.02(b) is implicated, information may be shared on an outside-counsel basis in accordance with the immediately following sentence). Seller, Purchaser and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material to be provided to the other under this Section 6.02(b) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material” or “Regulatory Counsel Only Material.”  Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust or regulatory counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller, Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

(c)          In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 6.02(a) and 6.02(b), with respect to obtaining the Required Approvals, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take any and all steps not prohibited by Law to (i) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing on or before the End Date, including defending (with sufficient time for resolution in advance of the End Date) through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court with respect to transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Entity or any private party; and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Regulatory Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as possible (and in any event, no later than the End Date), including (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of (A) such businesses, product lines and assets of Purchaser, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates and (B) all or any portion of the Shares, and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing would limit Purchaser’s, the Company’s and/or their respective Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to operate and/or retain, one or more of the businesses, products lines or assets of Purchaser, the Company and/or their respective Affiliates (the actions contemplated by subclauses (x) and (y) of this clause (c), a “Divestiture Action”); provided, however, that (1) any Divestiture Action is conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, in connection with any State Regulatory Approval only, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to take or refrain from taking or to agree to the Company or its Subsidiaries taking or refraining from taking any steps or action or to suffer to exist any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement that, individually or in the aggregate would or would reasonably be likely to result in a Burdensome Condition and (3) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, take or agree to take any Divestiture Action to the extent related to any business, product line or asset of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company.  A “Burdensome Condition” means, in connection with any State Regulatory Approval only, any condition, limitation or qualification imposed by a Governmental Entity on its grant of any consent, authorization, order, approval or exemption that a party seeks to obtain in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that, individually or together with all such conditions, limitations or qualifications, would or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (taken as whole) or the Sponsors (taken as a whole).For the avoidance of doubt (but subject to clause (3) of this Section 6.02(c)), in no event will Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 6.02(c) be limited by any of the limitations on the obligations of the Company under Section 6.02(e).

22

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, but subject to the obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.02 and the rights of the Company set forth in Section 6.02(e), (x)  with respect to seeking any actions, non-actions, terminations or expiration of waiting periods, consents, approvals or waivers of any approval, consent, non-action or other waiver of any Governmental Entity primarily related to insurance or consumer lending in a state in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary operates that is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and the Company in preparing applications, forms and other filings related thereto; provided that  Purchaser shall take the lead in preparing and submitting applications, forms and other materials, preparing for and participating in proceedings and coordinate all other related activities, and (y) Purchaser shall solely be responsible, after consultation with Seller and the Company, to propose, negotiate, offer or commit to make or effect any divestitures, dispositions, or licenses of any assets, properties, products, rights, services or businesses, or to agree to any other remedy, requirement, obligation, condition or restriction (any such action, “Remedial Action”) to resolve any Governmental Entity’s objections to or concerns about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, in connection with any State Regulatory Approvals, no Remedial Action shall be required to the extent it would or would be reasonably likely to result in a Burdensome Condition.  Any Remedial Action required to be taken under this Agreement shall be taken by such time as is necessary to permit the Closing to occur prior to the End Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates or any of its direct or indirect investors (including the Sponsors) to, take or agree to take any Remedial Action to the extent related to any business, product line or asset of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt (but subject to the immediately preceding sentence), in no event will Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under Section 6.02(c) and this Section 6.02(d) be limited by any of the limitations on the obligations of the Company under Section 6.02(e).

(e)          In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 6.02(a) and 6.02(b), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to assist Purchaser and its Affiliates in complying with their obligations under clauses (a)-(d) above; provided, that in no event will the Company or the Company Subsidiaries be required to take any actions that would have a more than de minimis impact on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(f)          Each of Seller, Purchaser and the Company shall give prompt written notice to the other parties of (i) such party obtaining Knowledge of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in the failure to satisfy or be able to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Article VII, and such written notice shall specify the condition which has failed or will fail to be satisfied; (ii) any written notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent such consent is material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (iii) any material written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.02(f) shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Seller, Purchaser or the Company.

23

(g)          Each party shall be responsible for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its obligations under this Section 6.02; provided that, whether or not the Closing occurs, Seller shall promptly, upon request by the Company reimburse the Company for all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred thereby.

(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall require Affiliates of Purchaser other than any Subsidiary of Purchaser to take any action with respect to any direct or indirect portfolio companies of investment funds advised or managed by one or more Affiliates of any Sponsor (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries), other than providing information with respect to or limiting information to any such portfolio company.

(i)          The foregoing agreements in this Section 6.02 are made solely to facilitate the Closing and do not constitute a representation or admission that the transactions contemplated hereby, if consummated without any modification, would violate any Regulatory Law or that agreeing to any divestitures, hold separate conditions or other restrictions permitted herein or suggested by any Person or authority acting under any Regulatory Law would not be harmful to the parties.

Section 6.03.          Transaction Litigation.  Subject to entry into a customary joint defense agreement, the Company shall give Seller and Purchaser the opportunity to consult with the Company and participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers (the “Company Parties”) relating to the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any such stockholder litigation, and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof, including by promptly informing and providing copies to Purchaser of all proceedings and material correspondence relating to such stockholder litigation.  None of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company shall compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any such stockholder litigation, in each case unless Seller and Purchaser shall have consented in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Company may compromise, settle or come to an agreement regarding stockholder litigation made or pending against a Company Party, if each of the following conditions are met: (i) the resolution of all such litigation requires payment from the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Representatives in an amount not to exceed the amount set forth in Section 6.03 of the Company Disclosure Letter; (ii) the settlement provides for no injunctive or other non-monetary relief; (iii) the settlement provides that Seller, the Company and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and its and their Representatives are released from all liability in connection therewith; and (iv) none of Purchaser, Seller, the Company, and their respective Affiliates and its and their Representatives are required to admit any wrongdoing or liability as part of the settlement.

24

Section 6.04.          Public Announcements.  Except with respect to any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser, Seller and the Company shall provide an opportunity for the other parties to review and comment upon any press release or other public statements or any filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Share Purchase, and shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, issue any such press release or make any such public statement or filing prior to providing such opportunity to review and comment, except as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system.  The Company, Seller and Purchaser agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.  Nothing in this Section 6.04 shall limit the ability of (i) any party hereto to make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent in all material respects with the prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) any Sponsor or any of its Affiliates to provide, without consulting with the Company or Seller, ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to any of its existing or prospective general and limited partners, equity holders, members, managers, investors who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

Section 6.05.          Other Investors.  Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not permit or agree to permit any Person other than the Sponsors and any other investor whose identity has been disclosed in writing to Seller prior to the execution of this Agreement and as set forth on Exhibit A to obtain any equity interests (or rights to obtain any equity interests) in Purchaser or any Person of which Purchaser is a direct or indirect Subsidiary (or enter into any arrangements with any such Person, including with respect to the management and/or ownership of Purchaser, the Company or any Company Subsidiaries), except as would not reasonably be expected to cause a significant delay in or impair the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03.

Section 6.06.          No Transfer of Shares.  Seller shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of the Shares to any person other than Purchaser (other than a transfer of Shares to an Affiliate of Seller so long as such Affiliate agrees to transfer such Shares to Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

25

Section 6.07.          Board Observer.  Promptly following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause a representative (the “Board Observer”) designated by Purchaser to be appointed as an Observer (as defined in the Existing Stockholders Agreement), to have the right to attend, strictly as an observer, all meetings of the Company Board (or any committees thereof) and to otherwise be granted the rights of an Observer under the Existing Stockholders Agreement. The Company consents to such appointment and shall provide the Board Observer with prior notice of all meetings of, and all information delivered to, the Company Board or any committee thereof at substantially the same time such notice or information is provided to the members of the Company Board, including all consents, minutes and other materials, financial or otherwise, which are provided to the Company Board; provided, that (i) the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such Board Observer from any portion of any meeting if access to such information or attendance at such portion could reasonably be expected to (a) adversely affect the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, (b) violate any Law, (c) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a third party (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any amount of money to any Person to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), or (d) result in disclosure of any competitively sensitive information of the Company and (ii) the Board Observer will not be able to attend any meetings (or portions thereof) or obtain any information regarding this Agreement, the Share Purchase or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to Closing, the Company and Purchaser shall enter into a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement and all information provided to or obtained by the Board Observer in its capacity as such or otherwise pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall be subject to such confidentiality agreement.

Section 6.08.          Transfer Taxes.  All real property transfer or gains, transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise, stock transfer, value-added, stamp, recording, registration and other similar Taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (such amounts, the “Transfer Taxes”) imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne and paid equally by Seller and Purchaser.  The party responsible under applicable Law for the filing of any Tax Return relating to any Transfer Tax shall file, or caused to be filed, any such Tax Return.  The party responsible under applicable Law for the paying of any Transfer Tax shall timely pay, or caused to be paid, such Transfer Tax and, subject to the receipt of satisfactory evidence of payment thereof, the other party shall promptly reimburse the payor for its portion of such Transfer Tax as determined in accordance with this Section 6.08.  If either party receives a refund, credit or other recovery of any such Transfer Tax, the recipient shall promptly pay to the other party such other party’s portion of such refund, credit or other recovery as determined in accordance with this Section 6.08, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses. Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any available exemption from any Transfer Tax and shall cooperate with each other in good faith in providing any information that may be necessary to obtain such exemption. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith in timely preparing and filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

26

Section 6.10.          Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)          Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (it being agreed that after the Closing such rights shall be mandatory rather than permissive, if applicable), and Purchaser shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to perform its obligations thereunder.

(b)          For a period of six years from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for the Company and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’, officers’ and employees’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing Date, except that in no event shall the Company be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies in respect of any one policy year more than 250% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Company is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 6.10(b), it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for each year within such six-year period for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount.

(c)          The provisions of this Section 6.10 (i) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.

(d)          In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i)  consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Company shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(a)          by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b)          by either Seller or Purchaser:

(i)          if the Share Purchase is not consummated on or before the End Date.  The “End Date” shall mean the date that is seven (7) months following the date of this Agreement; provided that, if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to such date and all the conditions to Closing, other than the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01(a)(i) and 7.01(a)(ii) shall have been satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied at such time, the End Date may be extended by either Seller or Purchaser on one occasion for a period of two (2) months by written notice to the other party no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the then existing End Date, and such date, as so extended, shall be the End Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, causes the failure of the Closing to be consummated by the End Date; or

(ii)          if the condition set forth in Section 7.01(b)(i) or (ii) is not satisfied and the Legal Restraint giving rise to such non-satisfaction shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the terminating party shall have complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 6.02;

(c)          by Seller:

(i)          if Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser has become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) could not be satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)(i) unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within 60 days after written notice by Seller to Purchaser informing Purchaser of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to the End Date; and provided, further, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)(i) if Seller is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect; or

(ii)          if (1) the conditions to the obligations of Purchaser set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.03 shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall reasonably be expected to be satisfied at the Closing assuming, for this purpose, that the Closing Date were the date that valid notice of termination of this Agreement is delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)), (2) Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchaser that all of the conditions to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall reasonably be expected to be satisfied at the Closing assuming, for this purpose, that the Closing Date were the date that valid notice of termination of this Agreement is delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)) have been satisfied or will be waived and that Seller is irrevocably ready and, willing and able to proceed with the Closing, (3) Seller stood ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement during the entirety of the three business day period after the delivery of the notice contemplated by clause (2) and (4) Purchaser fails to comply with its obligations under Section 1.03 to consummate the Closing within such three business day period; or

30

(d)          by Purchaser, if Seller or the Company has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Seller or the Company has become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b), as the case may be, could not be satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within 60 days after written notice by Purchaser to Seller and the Company informing Seller and the Company of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to the End Date; and provided, further, that Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if Purchaser is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect.

Section 8.02.          Effect of Termination.

(a)          In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Purchaser or Seller as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no force or effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of the Company, Purchaser or Seller or any direct or indirect equity holder, controlling person, partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other representative of such party or such party’s Affiliates or its or any of the foregoing’s successors or assigns), other than the final sentence of Section 6.01, this Section 8.02, Section 8.03 and Article IX, which provisions shall survive such termination; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.10, no such termination shall relieve or release any party from any liability for any fraud or willful breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” means a breach that is a consequence of an act or omission undertaken by the breaching party with the Knowledge that the taking of, or failure to take, such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a material breach of this Agreement; it being acknowledged, and agreed, without limitation, that any failure by any party to consummate the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated hereby after the applicable conditions thereto have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions would be capable of being satisfied at such time) shall constitute a willful breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.03.          Fees and Expenses.

(a)          In the event the Closing occurs, Seller shall be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Company Financial Advisors that are incurred by the Company in connection with the Share Purchase to the extent the agreements pursuant to which such fees and expenses are payable have been provided to Seller by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement.  Seller shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses of the Company Financial Advisors if the Closing does not occur, and shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses of the Company Financial Advisors in respect of any transactions other than the Share Purchase (including any previously considered transactions that preceded the Share Purchase).  The Company shall not amend any engagement letter or similar agreement with any of the Company Financial Advisors in any manner that would increase the obligations of Seller under this Section 8.03 without the prior written consent of Seller.

(b)          Except as specifically provided for herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

31

Section 8.04.          Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties; provided that any amendment that does not effect the rights, obligations or interests of the Company pursuant to this Agreement may be effected pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Seller and Purchaser.

Section 8.05.          Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Closing, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (c) waive compliance with any covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement; or (d) waive the satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement; provided that a party may only waive matters that are for their benefit under this Agreement.  Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.  The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

ARTICLE IX

General Provisions

Section 9.01.          Survival.

Section 9.04.          Interpretation.

(a)          When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The table of contents, index of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this Agreement.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  The term “or” is not exclusive.  The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.”  The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.  All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter as the context may require.  Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated.  References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.  Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. In the event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.05.          Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party or such party waives its rights under this Section 9.05 with respect thereto.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.06.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or by email with .pdf attachments, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 9.07.          Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Letter Agreement, the Regulatory Efforts Letter Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

40

Section 9.08.          GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER ANY APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

Section 9.09.          Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right, without the prior consent of Seller or the Company, to assign all or any portion of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or any affiliates of any Sponsor but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall Purchaser be permitted to assign this Agreement to any Person to the extent that, as a result of such assignment, either (a) any additional consent or approval of, or filing, declaration or registration with, any Governmental Entity would be required under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) any delay would occur with respect to any consent or approval of, or filing, declaration or registration with, any Governmental Entity that otherwise is required to be made under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.  Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.10.          Specific Enforcement.  The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor.  It is accordingly agreed that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of a party to cause the other parties to consummate the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated hereby and the right of Seller to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Purchaser’s obligation to cause the Equity Commitments to be funded and (b) the parties are entitled to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 9.11 below, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

41

Section 9.11.          Jurisdiction; Venue.

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Agreement, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 9.12.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SHARE PURCHASE OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
