Related to Purchase Price; Estimated Closing Statement

• Estimated Closing Statement Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified in writing by an executive officer of the Seller, setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Seller’s good faith calculation, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, of the estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and the components thereof; (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be; and (iii) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (the resulting amount, the “Estimated Purchase Price”), in each case calculated pursuant to the Accounting Principles. The Seller and the Owner, during the period from the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement through the Closing Date, shall, and shall cause their respective managers, officers, employees, accountants, and other relevant advisors to, provide the Buyer (and its auditors, advisors, counsel, and other representatives) reasonable access to the books and records, outside accounting firm, working papers (subject to the execution of customary access letters), personnel, and facilities of the Seller in order to complete their review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, and the Seller shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Buyer to the Estimated Closing Statement. The Buyer’s failure to make any comment regarding, or to dispute any amount included in, the Estimated Closing Statement shall not limit, or have any effect on, the Buyer’s rights pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to conduct a review of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be, and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price. The Seller and the Owner shall cooperate with the Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to resolve any reasonable objection the Buyer may have to the estimates or calculations contained therein.

• Closing Statement (a) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to Buyer a written statement of estimated Current Assets and Current Liabilities as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Estimated Closing Statement") containing the Company's good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital Amount (the "Estimated Net Working Capital Amount"), which shall reflect the items required to be set forth in, and be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of, the Closing Statement, in each case in accordance with Section 4.6(b); provided, however, that for purposes of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the parties hereto agree that 50% of the amount of Fuel Sensor Damages (x) actually expended by Parent or the Company from March 1, 2011 through the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date and (y) accrued as current liabilities on the Estimated Closing Statement, shall be added as a credit to the estimated Net Working Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement. Commencing with the Company's delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement to Buyer, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the books and records and personnel of the Company and the opportunity to consult with the Company for purposes of confirming or disputing the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If Buyer shall disagree, in good faith, with any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then Buyer and the Company shall work, in good faith, to reach agreement on such disputed items and the amounts as agreed to by Buyer and the Company shall constitute the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's agreement with the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount (or any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount) shall not foreclose, prevent, limit or preclude any rights or remedy of Buyer set forth in this Agreement. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is more than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount.

• Final Closing Statement During the thirty (30) days following the date upon which Seller received the Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If at the end of such thirty (30) day period (or earlier by mutual agreement to arbitrate), Buyer and Seller have not reached agreement on such matters, the matters that remain in dispute may be submitted to an arbitrator (the "Closing Statement Arbitrator") by either Party for review and resolution. The Closing Statement Arbitrator shall be a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller in writing. The hearing date will be scheduled by the Closing Statement Arbitrator as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall be conducted on a confidential basis. Each Party shall, not later than seven days prior to the hearing date set by the Closing Statement Arbitrator, submit a brief with dollar figures for settlement of the disputes as to the amount of the Adjusted Purchase Price (together with a proposed Closing Statement that reflects such figures). The figures submitted need not be the figures discussed during prior conversations. The Closing Statement Arbitrator shall render a decision resolving the matters in dispute (which decision shall include a written statement of findings and conclusions) within three Business Days after the conclusion of the hearing, unless the Parties reach agreement prior thereto and withdraw the dispute from arbitration. The Closing Statement Arbitrator shall provide to the Parties explanations in writing of the reasons for its decisions regarding the Adjusted Purchase Price and shall issue the Final Closing Statement reflecting such decisions. The decision of the Closing Statement Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties. The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Closing Statement Arbitrator) pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The fees and disbursements of Seller's independent auditors incurred in connection with the procedures performed with respect to the Closing Statement shall be borne by Seller and the fees and disbursements of Buyer's independent auditors incurred in connection with their preparation of the Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Buyer. As used in this Agreement, the term "Final Closing Statement" shall mean the revised Closing Statement described in Section 3.4(a), as prepared by Seller and as may be subsequently adjusted to reflect any subsequent written agreement between the Parties with respect thereto, or if submitted to the Closing Statement Arbitrator, the Closing Statement issued by the Closing Statement Arbitrator.

• 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.

• Post-Closing Adjustment (i) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”) that shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s calculation of the net amount of all adjustments to the Base Purchase Price required by Section 2.6(a) taking into account actual data (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”), together with reasonable supporting material regarding the computation thereof. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to review the Closing Statement following receipt thereof. On or before the end of such 30-day review period, Buyer may object to the Closing Statement by written notice to Seller (the “Objection Notice”), setting forth Buyer’s specific objections to the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment. Such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which Buyer disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount (and reasonable supporting material therefor), and shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in a timely-delivered Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with Seller’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and neither party may thereafter dispute any item or amount not set forth in such Objection Notice. If Buyer does not timely deliver any Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with and accepted Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment, and the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties as of the end of Buyer’s 30-day review period.

• Closing Statements Buyer’s Closing Statement, and a certificate confirming the truth of Buyer’s representations and warranties hereunder as of the Closing Date.

• 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

• Purchase Price Closing (a) The total amount which the buying party shall pay the selling party in a purchase shall be the amount that the selling party would have received if the Company (i) sold the Property for an amount equal to the Buy-Sell Stated Value, (ii) satisfied the indebtedness of the Company specifically referred to in subsection (b) below (and no other liabilities) out of the sale proceeds and (iii) distributed the remaining balance to Administrative Agent and PACOP in accordance with their respective percentage ownership interests in the Company (i.e., 51%, in the case of PACOP, and up to 49%, in the case of Administrative Agent).

• Purchase Price Allocation The Parties shall allocate five percent (5%) of the Final Closing Consideration to the Restrictive Covenants for Tax purposes. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Tax allocation, if any, of the Final Closing Consideration to Restrictive Covenants shall not, in any way, limit any remedy available to Purchaser for any breach by any Seller Party of any Restrictive Covenants. The Parties shall allocate the remainder of the Final Closing Consideration (and any other relevant items) to the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. NIS shall provide to Purchaser a draft allocation within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Within forty-five (45) days after NIS’s delivery of the draft allocation, Purchaser shall notify NIS of any objections it may have thereto. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement with respect to such allocation. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement, they shall cause the Accountant to resolve any remaining disputes. The Parties shall split the costs of such Accountant equally. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) consistent with the purchase price allocation, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6. The Parties shall revise the purchase price allocation, if and when necessary, to take into account any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement using the same methodologies as were used in compiling the initial allocation; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no additional amounts shall be allocated to the Restrictive Covenants for Tax purposes. To the extent Section 483 of the Code or any succeeding or corresponding provision of applicable law applies to characterize portions of the Purchase Price as interest payments, the Parties hereby agree to so treat them.

• 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.”
