THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED BY ANY FEDERAL OR STATE OR NON-U.S. SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY. FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“SECURITIES ACT”), AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. ROLLOVER INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.
THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 16, 2012, is by and among Xxx Summer, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and the individuals named on Annex A hereto (the “Rollover Investors”).

WHEREAS, Summer Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Partnership (“Parent”), Summer Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and The Edelman Financial Group Inc., a Texas corporation (“Company”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 16, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent;
WHEREAS, the Partnership is managed by its general partner, Xxx Summer GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”);
WHEREAS, each of the Rollover Investors owns the number of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Shares”) as set forth on Annex A (which, for the avoidance of doubt, only sets forth that number shares of common stock of the Company being contributed by each Rollover Investor pursuant to this Agreement, and not the total number of shares of common stock of the Company owned by each Rollover Investor);
WHEREAS, each of Rollover Investors desires to contribute, transfer and assign to the Partnership all of such Rollover Investor’s right, title and interest in and to such Company Shares in exchange for a number of newly issued Class A partnership interests of the Partnership (each a “Class A Unit”) as more fully set forth herein (the “Exchange”); and
WHEREAS, it is intended that the contribution by the Rollover Investors of the Company Shares in exchange for newly issued Class A Units be governed by Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

4 |
reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially burden the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.3. Certain Matters Relating to the Contributed Securities.
(a) Each Rollover Investor is the sole record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Contributed Securities, and such ownership is free and clear of any Liens. Upon consummation of the Exchange Closing as provided in this Agreement, the Partnership will acquire good and marketable title to the Contributed Securities free and clear of all Liens.
(b) Each Rollover Investor has and will have at all times through the Exchange Closing sole voting power, sole power of disposition, and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case, with respect to all of the Contributed Securities.
(c) There is no Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Rollover Investors, threatened against any Rollover Investor or any of their respective Affiliates before or by any Governmental Entity that would impair the ability of the Rollover Investors to perform their respective obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
4.4. Certain Matters Relating to the Rollover Investors’ Investment in the Class A Units.
(a) Each Rollover Investor is acquiring the Class A Units for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for, distribution, resale or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, in each case under circumstances which would require registration thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws.
(b) Each Rollover Investor is relying on such Rollover Investor’s own business judgment and knowledge concerning the business, financial condition and prospects of the Partnership, and the advice of such Rollover Investor’s own counsel, tax advisors and other advisors, in making the decision to acquire the Class A Units.
(c) Each Rollover Investor is not contributing the Contributed Securities in exchange for Class A Units as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspapers, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person or entity not previously known to such Rollover Investor in connection with investments in securities generally.
(d) Each Rollover Investor is an “accredited investor” as described in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act;

5 |
investment for an indefinite period of time, including the risk of a complete loss of such Rollover Investor’s investment in such securities. Each Rollover Investor acknowledges that the Class A Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available and that transfers of the Class A Units may be restricted by applicable state and non-U.S. securities laws.
(f) Each Rollover Investor and such Rollover Investor’s advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to examine all documents related to and, if applicable, executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, which each Rollover Investor or such Rollover Investor’s respective advisors, if any, have requested to examine. Each Rollover Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Class A Units and has had full access to such other information concerning the Partnership and its Subsidiaries as it has requested. Each Rollover Investor’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that such Rollover Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of the investment in the Class A Units. Each Rollover Investor has carefully reviewed the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement and has evaluated the restrictions and obligations contained herein and therein.
4.5. Rollover Investors’ Knowledge. Each Rollover Investor has a high degree of familiarity with the business, operations and current financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

6 |
under this Agreement, or take any action that would reasonably be expected to restrict or otherwise affect the Rollover Investors’ power, authority and right to comply with and perform their respective covenants and obligations under this Agreement.
