Related to Estimated Closing Cash Purchase Price and Net Working Capital Adjustments

• Net Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Transaction Consideration which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.6, together with all underlying documentation supporting such calculations. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement.

• Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within 15 days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will prepare or cause to be prepared a combined balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet") showing the amount of Closing Date Working Capital, along with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculating Closing Date Working Capital, which shall be in accordance with GAAP and consistent with the methodology used in Target Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.5 below), and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Shareholders such Closing Date Balance Sheet. In the event that the Shareholders object to the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, then, within 30 days after the delivery to the Shareholders of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Shareholders shall deliver to the Purchaser a notice describing in reasonable detail the Shareholders' objection to the Purchaser's calculation (an "Objection Notice"), accompanied by a statement setting forth the dollar amount determined by the Shareholders to represent the Closing Date Working Capital or a request for additional information from the Purchaser that the Shareholders may require in order to determine the Closing Date Working Capital. If the Shareholders do not deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the 30-day period referred to in the preceding sentence, then the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital shall be binding and conclusive on the Purchaser and the Shareholders. If the Shareholders deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the 30-day period referred to in this paragraph, and if the Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to agree upon the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital within 15 days after an Objection Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, the Shareholders and the Purchaser shall select a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to them (the "Neutral Accountant") to resolve any remaining objections, the cost of which shall be paid by the party whose assertions regarding the amount of the Closing Date Working Capital differ by the greater amount from the Closing Date Working Capital determined by the Neutral Accountant. If Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to select the Neutral Accountant within 10 days after the commencement of such selection process, the Neutral Accountant shall be KPMG (or its successor). The Shareholders and the Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Neutral Accountant to resolve any unresolved objections within 30 days after referral of the matter to them, and the determination by the Neutral Accountant of the Closing Date Working Capital, shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser and Shareholders absent fraud or manifest error. During the 30-day period following the Objection Notice, Shareholders and Purchaser shall each have access to the other party's working papers and similar materials prepared in connection with the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Objection Notice, as the case may be.

• Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment (a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the date of the Applicable Closing, Parent shall prepare and deliver to SunGard Data a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), certified by the chief financial officer of Parent and accompanied by reasonable supporting detail, setting forth the Closing Net Working Capital, the Company Transaction Fees and Expenses and the Merger Consideration, including, in each case, the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. The calculations set forth in the Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding on all Parties unless SunGard Data gives Parent written notice of its objections thereto (an “Objection Notice”), with reasonable supporting detail as to each such objection (each, a “Post-Closing Calculation Objection”), within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Objection Period”). In the event SunGard Data fails to give Parent an Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Objection Period or otherwise earlier notifies Parent in writing that SunGard Data has no objections to the calculations set forth in the Post-Closing Statement, the Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on all Parties hereto, and all payments to be made in accordance with Section 3.4(d) shall be derived therefrom. Any component of the calculations set forth in the Post-Closing Statement that is not the subject of a timely delivered Objection Notice by SunGard Data shall be final and binding on all Parties except to the extent such component could be affected by other components of the calculations set forth in the Post-Closing Statement. Throughout the period following the Closing Date until the components of the calculations set forth in the Post-Closing Statement are deemed final and binding pursuant to this Section 3.4, subject to Section 7.21, Parent shall permit SunGard Data and its Representatives reasonable access (with the right to make copies), during business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to the financial books and records of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries for the purposes of the review and objection right contemplated herein.

• Capital Adjustments (a) The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or the Corporation’s business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to or affecting the Corporation’s capital stock or the rights thereof, or the issuance of any securities convertible into any such capital stock or of any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any such capital stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other act or proceeding of the Corporation, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

• Purchase Price Adjustments In case at any time and from time to time the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock or Derivative Securities convertible or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the number of shares so issued, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of such Derivative Securities, as applicable, being referred to as "Additional Shares of Common Stock") for consideration less than the then Market Price at the date of issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Derivative Securities, in each such case the Conversion Price shall, concurrently with such issuance, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price immediately prior to such event by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Market Price and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold.

• Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event

• Closing Adjustments To the extent that any prorations, adjustments or other amounts with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property shall be payable by or to the Contributors at or following each Closing in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, the amount of the purchase consideration determined pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be adjusted accordingly, it being acknowledged and agreed by each Contributor that from and after the date hereof, (i) the Contributed Entity shall not declare, pay or otherwise make provision for any dividends or distributions and (ii) immediately prior to the Closing, in addition to any prorations, adjustments or other amounts payable by or to the Contributors with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property, the Contributed Entity shall distribute to each Contributor receiving Securities an amount equal to the amount such Contributor would have been paid as a distribution on account of the Securities it will receive at Closing had such Securities been issued and sold to such Contributor at the Initial Closing.

• Adjustment Amount (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 90 calendar days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller, Buyer’s calculation of (i) Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, (v) Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (vi) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Closing Purchase Price (together with the calculations referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above, the “Final Closing Statement”). The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the defined terms used in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, that the Final Closing Statement (and any amounts included therein) shall not give effect to any act or omission by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company taken after the Reference Time or reflect any payments of cash in respect of the Purchase Price, or any financing transactions in connection therewith or reflect any expense or liability for which Buyer is responsible under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Section 2.04 nor this Section 2.06 is intended to be used to adjust the Closing Purchase Price for errors or omissions, under GAAP or otherwise, that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or the Target Net Working Capital. No fact or event, including any market or business development, occurring after the Closing Date, and no change in GAAP or Applicable Law after the Balance Sheet Date, shall be taken into consideration in the calculations to be made pursuant to Section 2.04 or this Section 2.06. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Final Closing Statement in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.06(a) within such 90-day period, then the Preliminary Closing Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be Buyer’s proposed Final Closing Statement, for all purposes hereunder, and Seller shall retain all of its rights under this Section 2.06 with respect thereto, including the right to dispute the calculations set forth therein in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06.

• Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Contributor Parties shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Acquiror a preliminary settlement statement (the “Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth (i) an estimated combined balance sheet of the Compression Group Entities as of the Closing Date, which balance sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied consistently with the Contributor Parties’ past practices (including its preparation of the Unaudited Financial Statements) (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”) based on the most recent financial information of the Compression Group Entities reasonably available to the Contributor Parties and the Contributor Parties’ reasonable estimates with respect to the assets, liabilities and members’ equity of the Compression Group Entities as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the difference, if any, between the Net Working Capital shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and the Net Working Capital Threshold, (iii) a calculation of the Debt shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Date Debt”), (iv) a calculation of the Cash shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash Amount”) and (v) a calculation of the estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount. Acquiror shall have the right, following Acquiror’s receipt of the Estimated Adjustment Statement, to object thereto by delivering written notice to ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, no later than two Business Days before the Closing Date. To the extent Acquiror timely objects to the Estimated Adjustment Statement (or any component thereof), Acquiror and ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, shall enter into good faith negotiations and attempt to resolve any such objection; provided, however, that if Acquiror and ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, are unable to resolve such objection prior to the Closing Date, then the Contributor Parties’ calculations as reflected in the Estimated Adjustment Statement shall control solely for purposes of the payments to be made at Closing. To the extent Acquiror and ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, resolve any such objection prior to the Closing, then the Parties shall jointly agree on a revised Estimated Adjustment Statement that shall control solely for purposes of the payments to be made at the Closing. The estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount that controls for purposes of the payments to be made at the Closing is referred to herein as the “Estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount.”

• Closing Adjustment Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a certificate signed by an officer of each of the Sellers attaching reasonable and good faith estimates (the “Closing Estimates”) of each of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”); (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”); (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Fees (the “Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees”); and (v) the Closing Adjustment (as defined below). Each of the Closing Estimates shall be determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodology. Purchasers shall be entitled to review, and propose reasonable changes to the Closing Estimates and Sellers shall provide Purchasers and their Representatives with reasonable access, at reasonable times following prior notice, to the officers, employees, agreements and books and records of the Transferred Entities to verify the accuracy of such amounts. The Sellers shall consider the Purchasers’ proposed changes in good faith. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on any proposed changes, the Closing Estimates (and the components thereof) as proposed by the Sellers shall control solely for purposes of payments to be made at Closing and shall not limit or otherwise effect the Purchasers’ remedies under this Agreement or otherwise constitute an acknowledgment by Purchasers of the accuracy of the Closing Estimates. The “Closing Adjustment” shall equal (i) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, plus (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, less (iii) the Target Working Capital, less (iv) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, and (v) less the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees.
