THIS SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 17th day of April, 2012, by and between Warburg Pincus Private Equity X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Warburg PE”), and Warburg Pincus X Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Warburg Pincus X” and, together with Warburg PE, the “Seller”), and Primerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, after due consideration, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Purchaser (“Audit Committee”), which consists solely of independent directors of the board of directors of the Purchaser, has approved the Repurchase Transaction (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Purchaser (“Common Shares”) to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase Common Shares from the Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Repurchase Transaction”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SALE AND PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES

Section 1.1 Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on April 24, 2012 or such other date as may be agreed by the parties in writing (the “Closing Date”), the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, 5,736,137 Common Shares (the “Shares”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if management of the Purchaser reasonably determines that, despite reasonable best efforts, it cannot secure the required funds in a manner that is in the best interests of the stockholders and the Corporation, than the Closing Date can be delayed by the Purchaser to a date not later than April 30, 2012. The purchase price for the Shares shall be $26.15 per share, resulting in a total purchase price of $149,999,982.55 (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 1.2 Closing. On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Shares by delivery of one or more certificates evidencing the Shares being repurchased, endorsed to the Purchaser or accompanied by duly executed stock powers or other instrument of assignment, and the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller one or more new certificates evidencing the Seller’s holdings of Common Shares after giving effect to the repurchase of the Shares. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the Purchase Price in cash by wire transfer of


immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions to be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser.

Section 1.3 Condition to Closing. The obligation of either party to proceed with the closing contemplated hereby shall be expressly conditioned on the absence of any judgment, injunction, judicial order or decree binding upon a party hereto that would prohibit such party from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby or any pending action, suit or proceeding which challenges the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, provided that a failure of this condition shall not be asserted by a party if such failure is the direct or indirect result of such party’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article II or Article III, as applicable.
