The Buyer shall cause the Company to furnish all information reasonably requested by the Seller Parties with respect to the preparation of any such Tax returns.

(2) Except as provided in Section 9.3(a)(1), the Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed on a timely basis all Income Tax Returns with respect to the Company for taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date and the Buyer shall be responsible for filing all other Tax Returns of or relating to the Company to the extent such Tax Returns are required to be filed on a date after the Closing Date and shall (except as otherwise provided below) pay all Taxes attributable to such Tax Returns. At the Parent’s request and expense, the Buyer shall cooperate in filing one or more amended returns or other requests for, and pursuant to Section 9.3(b) shall promptly pay over to the Parent, any refund of or credit for any Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(3) With respect to any Tax return required to be filed or caused to be filed by the Seller Parties or the Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(1) or Section 9.3(a)(2) with respect to the Company (such Party the “Filing Party”) and as to which an amount of Tax is allocable to the Party that is not the Filing Party (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), the Filing Party shall provide the Tax Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives with a copy of such completed Tax Return or in the case of a Consolidated Tax Return, a pro forma Tax Return for the Company (prepared on a separate company basis) and a statement certifying and setting forth the calculation of the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return that is allocable to such Tax Indemnifying Party, together with appropriate supporting information and schedules at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Tax Return or Consolidated Tax Return (as the case may be), and such Tax Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives shall have the right to review and comment on such Tax Return (as the case may be) and statement prior to the filing of such Tax return.

(4) A Tax Indemnifying Party shall pay the Filing Party the amount so allocated to it pursuant to this Section 9.3 at least three (3) Business Days before the due date of the Tax return required to be filed by the Filing Party or within twenty (20) Business Days following an agreement between the Seller Parties and the Buyer that an indemnity amount is payable by the other, or within fifteen (15) Business Days of (i) an assessment of a Tax by a taxing authority, or (ii) a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local law) has been made. If liability under this Section 9.3 is in respect of costs or expenses other than Taxes, payment by the Tax Indemnifying Party of any amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date when the Tax Indemnifying Party has been notified by the Filing Party that the Tax Indemnifying Party has a liability for a

-36-

determinable amount under this Section 9.3 and is provided with calculations and all other materials supporting such liability.

(b) Tax Refunds, Credit and Tax Attributes. Rights and benefits relating to all Tax attributes of the Company arising from or relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall remain with the Parent and the Buyer shall pay to the Parent an amount equal to any Tax refund the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof obtains from any such Tax attributes within the earlier of thirty (30) days after: (i) the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof files a Tax return which claims, reflects or reports such Tax benefit or (ii) the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof receives a Tax refund which relates or is attributable to any such Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax attributes of the Company. The Buyer agrees that it will not make any elections or take any positions with respect to Taxes that could adversely affect the Parent’s interest and rights in the Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax attributes of the Company. The Buyer further agrees that it shall not (unless otherwise requested by the Parent) carry back, and shall not cause or permit the Company or any other Affiliate of the Buyer or the Company to carry back, any net operating loss, loss from operations or any other Tax attribute of the Company to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or the Parent or any Affiliate thereof (including, but not limited to, any member of any Affiliated, combined or unitary group of which the Company is or was a member). The Buyer agrees that the Seller Parties shall not have any obligation under this Agreement to return or remit any refund or other Tax benefit attributable to a breach by the Buyer of the immediately preceding sentence and any Tax refund or Tax benefit resulting from any such breach will be solely for the Seller Parties’ account.

(c) Transfer Taxes. The Seller Parties shall be liable for and shall pay, and shall hold the Buyer and its Affiliates harmless against any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer, stamp Taxes, any transfer, recording, registration, and other fees, and any similar Taxes which become payable in the applicable jurisdiction in connection with the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and imposed upon the Seller Parties, the Company or the Buyer and any Affiliates thereof (“Transfer Taxes”).

(d) Tax Notice; Tax Controversies. The Seller Parties and the Buyer shall provide to each other notice within ten (10) days of receipt of any notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Claim”) in which the IRS or any other Governmental Authority makes or proposes to make a Tax adjustment to any Tax period which includes any period up to the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall control any such proceeding to the extent such proceeding could adversely affect the Taxes of the Seller Parties or any Affiliate thereof or could result in the Seller Party’s being liable for any amount of Taxes or losses related thereto either under the Law or pursuant to this Agreement, and the Buyer shall control all other such proceeding, provided that, with respect to any such Tax Claim, the Party not controlling the proceeding of such Tax Claim or its representative shall (to the extent permitted by Law) have the right, at its expense, to participate in any such Tax Claim. The Parties agree that they will not settle, compromise or agree to any Tax adjustment which affects or could affect the other Party’s Tax liability without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the Seller Parties shall have the right to settle or compromise any such proceedings that the Seller Parties control without the consent of the Buyer

-37-

provided that the settlement or compromise could not affect the Tax liability of the Company after the Closing Date.

(e) Cooperation and Controversies. Except as provided in Section 9.3(a), the Seller Parties, the Buyer and the Company shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, agents, auditors, representatives, officers and employees reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund), including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and with respect to any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include, but not be limited to (i) providing all relevant information that is available to the Buyer, the Seller Parties and/or the Company, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax Claim, (ii) making personnel available at reasonable times, and (iii) preparation of responses to requests for information, provided that the foregoing shall be done in a manner so as to not interfere unreasonably with the conduct of business by the Buyer, the Seller Parties or the Company, as the case may be. Neither the Seller Parties, the Company nor the Buyer shall dispose of any Tax Returns, Tax schedules, Tax work papers or any books or records unless it first offers in writing to the other Party the right to take possession of such materials at such other Party’s sole expense and the other Party fails to accept such offer within fifteen (15) days of the offer being made or if an offer is accepted fails to take possession within thirty (30) days of the date on which the offer is made. Any information obtained under this Section 9.3(e) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

(f) Tax Indemnities.

(1) The Seller Parties shall be liable for and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and the Company from and against any and all damages, Taxes and expenses arising out of (i) any breach of the Seller Parties’ covenants in this Section 9.3, and (ii) any liability for Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(2) The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties from and against any and all Taxes, and any damages and expenses related thereto, that relate or are attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period, other than those that are specifically indemnified by the Seller Parties pursuant to paragraph (f)(1) above.

(3) In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (“Straddle Taxes”), the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be: (i) with respect to premium Taxes the amount of such Taxes that relate to premiums written as of the Closing Date, (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of the Company, or otherwise measured by the level of any item (other than premiums), deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the

-38-

entire period irrespective of the lien or assessment date of such Taxes, and (iii) with respect to Taxes imposed on or measured by income, gross receipts, wages, expenses or other similar periodic measures (other than premiums) or imposed on sales, assignments or any other transfers of any property shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date (based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of the Closing Date).

(g) Survival. All agreements, covenants and indemnification matters contained in this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.

(h) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. As of the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall cause all Tax allocation, Tax sharing, Tax indemnification and reimbursement and similar agreements and arrangements between the Seller Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, to be extinguished and terminated with respect to the Company, and any rights or obligations existing under any such agreement or arrangement (including any obligation of the Company to make any payment of any kind thereunder) shall be extinguished and no longer enforceable.

(i) Coordination. Except as provided in Section 4.1(o) with respect to representations and warranties relating to Tax matters and Section 5.14, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 9.3 shall control all matters relating to Taxes and any claims, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, obligations, costs or expenses, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements related thereto.

(j) Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(1) The Parent and the Buyer shall jointly make timely and irrevocable elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and, if permissible, similar elections under any applicable state or local income tax laws with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Elections”) through the filing of a Form 8023 (and any state equivalent). The Parent, the Company and the Buyer shall report the transactions contemplated herein consistent with the Elections and shall take no position contrary thereto unless and to the extent required to do so pursuant to a determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar state or local tax provision). The Seller Parties and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to complete all necessary filings for the elections in a timely manner. The Seller Parties shall pay all Taxes and shall be entitled to receive any tax benefit arising as a result of the Elections.

(2) For purposes of making the Elections, Buyer shall determine the value of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and shall within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date provide the Parent with written notice setting forth the allocation of the Buyer’s “adjusted grossed-up basis” in the shares of the Company (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 338 of the Code) to such assets (the “Initial Allocation”). The Initial Allocation shall be binding upon the Buyer and the Seller Parties for purposes of allocating the “deemed selling price” (within the

-39-

meaning of the Treasury Regulations) among the assets of the affected entities; provided, however, that if the Parent believes that all or a portion of the Initial Allocation is incorrect and notifies the Buyer of such belief within thirty (30) days after having received the Initial Allocation from the Buyer, the Independent Accounting Firm will determine whether the Initial Allocation is incorrect and the determination of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and the Buyer and the Seller Parties shall then be bound by the Initial Allocation as adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm (the “Final Allocation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Final Allocation shall be determined no later than twenty (20) days prior to the date that the Buyer must file the Election forms. In the event it is determined that the Initial Allocation was incorrect, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller Parties the cost of the Independent Accounting Firm. The Seller Parties and the Buyer shall bear equally all costs of the Independent Accounting Firm which are not paid by the Buyer pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The Buyer and the Parent shall file, and cause their respective Affiliates to file, all forms that relate to the Election in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, shall take no position inconsistent therewith.

9.4 Change of Name. Promptly after Closing, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Closing, the Buyer shall cause the Company to (i) change its name to a name that does not include the phrase “General Agents” and (ii) cease issuing any policies or transacting any insurance business utilizing the name, trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of the Company or any of its Affiliates as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, the phrase “General Agents” except to the extent (i) necessary in connection with carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Ancillary MGA Agreements or (ii) required to be used in regulatory filings or proceedings to describe the Company’s relationships prior to the Closing; provided, however, that when the use of such names or intellectual property rights is necessitated or required as set forth in (i) or (ii) above, the Buyer shall clearly indicate in writing in conjunction therewith that such name is the Company’s former name. Neither the Buyer nor the Company will use the name “GAINSCO” or any derivative thereof following the Closing.

ARTICLE 10

Any party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or such other agreement upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and provided, further, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. The parties to the Administration Agreement, the Assumption Agreement and the Transfer and Assignment Agreement shall follow and comply with the notice requirements of this Section 10.3 in connection with the indemnification obligations set forth in those agreements.

10.4 Third-Party Claims. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of any Claim Notices or information necessary to make the Claim Notice complete, relating to any third Person claim, action or suit (collectively, “Claim”) to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim. Unless the Indemnitor gives the foregoing notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim, and in any such case the Indemnitor shall cooperate in connection with such Claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith; provided that, should the Indemnitor fail to timely give notice as provided above in this Section 10.4, (i) the Indemnitor may, in any event, participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Claim and (ii) if the Indemnitor has acknowledged and agreed in writing that it has an obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement or the Assumption Agreement, for any Loss incurred in connection with or arising from such Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume control of the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim from the Indemnified Party at any time by giving written notice of such election to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnitor timely gives notice as provided above in this Section 10.4 or assumes control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection with such Claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such

-42-

conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Claim, as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof; and provided further, that the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) pay, compromise or settle any such Claim (i) in any case where the Indemnitor has not acknowledged its obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Assumption Agreement, or (ii) seeking any relief against an Indemnified Party other than monetary damages; and provided further, that the Indemnitor shall, at any time prior to the settlement or commencement of trial with respect to any Claim, tender the defense, compromise and settlement of such Claim to the Indemnified Party should the Indemnitor reasonably determine, based upon the information furnished to it by the Indemnified Party or obtained by the Indemnitor in the course of defending the Claim, that the Indemnitor is not obligated to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Assumption Agreement.

10.5 Interest. In the case of any payments made or costs or damages incurred and paid by a party, interest on the amount thereof shall accrue beginning the date any Loss is paid by the Indemnified Party or a date thirty (30) days after written notice of the claim is given, whichever is later, provided that such notice is accompanied by documentation describing the basis of such claim in reasonable detail for evaluation; provided further, however, that the claiming party shall only be entitled to receive such interest to the extent that it is determined that such party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Interest shall accrue until the claim is paid in full at a variable rate equal to the prime interest rate (as published in the Money Rates column of The Wall Street Journal) on the date that such interest begins to accrue.

10.6 Remedies. The Parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available; provided, however, the Parties agree that all such remedies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.6 and in Section 10.7. No Indemnitor shall be liable or otherwise responsible to any Person for special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages or for diminution in value or lost profits that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any amounts paid or owed by an Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim by a third party. No Party shall be liable for any indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 for any claims for misrepresentations and breaches of warranty that are the basis upon which any other Party has terminated its Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 or that are based on misrepresentations and breaches of warranty that have been expressly and specifically waived in writing. In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 10.7, the maximum amount for which the Seller Parties shall be liable under this Agreement with respect to a breach or failure of any representation, warranty or covenant pertaining to a Surplus or Excess Lines Qualification because such Surplus or Excess Lines Qualification is not valid, in force, unimpaired and in good standing on the Closing Date, shall be equal to the amount of the adjustment to the Purchase Price provided for in Section 2.2 so long as the sum of the respective percentages attributable to the remaining jurisdictions, calculated using the percentages set forth opposite the name of each jurisdiction in Section 2.2 of

-43-

the Disclosure Schedule, total an amount equal to or greater than the percentage set forth in Section 6.1(h).

10.7 Limitations on Indemnification. The maximum amount for which the Seller Parties shall be liable under Section 10.1(i) shall not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to the Purchase Price less Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Cap”). No Loss shall be indemnifiable under Section 10.1(i) or considered in determining the amounts for which indemnity would otherwise be provided under Section 10.1(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses claimed under Section 10.1(i) exceeds $100,000, after which the Seller Parties shall be liable back to and include the first dollar of aggregate Losses so claimed, such that such amount is a threshold and not a deductible (the “Threshold”); provided that the Seller Parties’ liability under Section 10.1(i) for Losses that arise from the breach of the representations and warranties of Seller Parties set forth in Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.1(e), 4.1(f), 4.1(m) and 4.1(o) shall not be subject to the Cap or the Threshold. Nothing set forth in this Section 10.7 limits the Seller Parties’ liability for breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties of which the Seller Parties had actual knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation or warranty was made or any intentional breach by the Seller Parties of any covenant or obligation hereunder.

ARTICLE 11

(e) by the Buyer if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an injunction, judgment, order, decree or taken any other action which, in any case, would (i) prevent consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) cause any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be rescinded following the Closing, or (iii) permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement only subject to one or more conditions or restrictions that has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, which action is final and nonappealable;

(g) by the Seller Parties, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement or if any representation or warranty of the Buyer shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 would not be satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(g) if such inaccuracy in the Buyer’s representations and warranties or breach by the Buyer is

-45-

cured by the Buyer prior to the Closing Date, provided further that the Buyer continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach (it being understood that the Seller Parties may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1(g) if the Seller Parties shall have materially breached this Agreement).

12.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by the Seller Parties or the Buyer pursuant to this Article 12, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or effect, except for the provisions of (i) Article 14 relating to the obligation of each of the parties to keep confidential certain Information obtained by it, (ii) Article 13 relating to certain expenses, and (iii) this Article 12, and except that nothing in this Article 12 shall be deemed to release any Party from any liability for any prior willful breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

15.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

15.8 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Buyer and the Seller Parties. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

15.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

15.10 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or to a Section, Subsection, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section or Subsection of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. 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,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole (including, without limitation, the Disclosure Schedule) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date of this Agreement set forth in the preface. 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 phrase “capital stock” or “capital stock of the Company” shall refer to any ownership, membership, voting or other equity interest in the Company. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms

of such terms. Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References to a person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. The covenants and agreements of the Parties shall survive until the expiration of the time period for their performance as provided herein. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.

15.11 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein.

15.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted in a United States District Court located in Chicago, Illinois or in the courts of the State of Illinois located in Chicago, and each party hereto agrees not to assert as a defense in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each Party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action, suit or proceeding. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective against any party if given properly pursuant to the United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable rules.

15.13 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage might 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. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

15.14 Non-Duplication. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or in any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto, the intent of the Parties with respect to this Agreement and all other agreements related to the sale of the Company by the Seller Parties to the Buyers is that any payment made, or any obligation to make a payment owed, by the Seller Parties, or either of them, to the Buyer (or to the Company) shall not be duplicative of any other payment or obligation made or owed under this Agreement or any other agreement entered into pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation any of the Ancillary MGA Agreements or the Guaranty Agreement. This principle shall apply regardless of the number of agreements under which an obligation may be owed by the Seller Parties and regardless of the number of different Persons that may be individually entitled to recover.
