Purchaser and the Initial Members shall also instruct the Accounting Firm to make its determination based solely on presentations by Purchaser and the Initial Members which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resulting calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount and the corresponding Excess Amount or Shortfall Amount by the Accounting Firm shall become final and binding on the parties hereto (and may be relied upon by SunTrust) on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to Purchaser and the Initial Members (which final resolution shall be requested by the parties to be delivered not more than forty-five (45) calendar days following submission of such disputed matters), and such resolution by the Accounting Firm shall not be subject to court review or otherwise appealable except in the case of fraud of the Company, one of the parties or the Accounting Firm, or willful misconduct of the Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Initial Members, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, based on the ratio of the disputed amount not awarded to such Person to the total amount actually disputed by the Initial Members and Purchaser. For example, if the aggregate amount disputed by the Initial Members is $1,000, and if Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount disputed by the Initial Members, and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by finding that the Initial Members properly disputed $300 of the $500, then the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid 60% (i.e., 300 divided by 500) by Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200 divided by 500) by the Initial Members. The parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 3.4.3 and the arbitration provisions contemplated hereby shall be the exclusive remedy and exclusive forum of the parties with respect to the determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount.

3.4.4 The Initial Members and Purchaser shall provide the other and their Representatives with reasonable access during normal working hours to the employees, books, records and other supporting information and documents as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and review of the Preliminary Closing Schedule and any objections thereto.

3.4.5 In the event an Excess Amount exists, Purchaser shall remit the Excess Amount to the Initial Members pursuant to Section 3.4.6, and Purchaser and the Initial Members shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) direct (and the Initial Members shall cause the Members’ Representative to direct) SunTrust, in accordance with the terms of the SunTrust Escrow Agreement, to remit to the Initial Members the entire Closing Schedule Escrow. In the event a Shortfall Amount exists and is less than the Closing Schedule Escrow, Purchaser and the Initial Members shall (and the Initial Members shall cause the Members’ Representative to) promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) direct SunTrust, in accordance with the terms of the SunTrust Escrow Agreement, to remit (i) an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount from the Closing Schedule Escrow to Purchaser, and (ii) the remainder of the Closing Schedule Escrow to the Initial Members. In the event a Shortfall Amount exists and exceeds the Closing Schedule Escrow, Purchaser and the Initial Members shall (and the Initial Members shall cause the Members’ Representative to) promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) direct the SunTrust, in accordance with the terms of the SunTrust Escrow Agreement, to remit the entire Closing Schedule Escrow to Purchaser, and the Initial Members shall remit to Purchaser an amount equal to such difference pursuant to Section 3.4.6. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not be applied toward the Basket. Purchaser shall not be entitled to Damages for a breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to Assets or Liabilities of the Company to the extent that Purchaser receives an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 with respect to such Asset or Liability and, as a result of such adjustment, is compensated for such Damages.

3.4.6 Any payment required under Section 3.4.5 shall be paid in accordance with the instructions of the appropriate recipient (i) within the lesser of thirty-five (35) calendar days after delivery by Purchaser of the Preliminary Closing Schedule, or five (5) calendar days after the Initial Members notify Purchaser that they do not object to the amounts set forth on the Preliminary Closing Schedule; or (ii) if the Initial Members shall have delivered an Objection Notice to Purchaser, within five (5) calendar days following final determination of the disputed items pursuant to Section 3.4.3.

3.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Initial Members and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price (as adjusted in accordance with this Agreement) and any liabilities properly taken into account under the Code shall be allocated to the assets of the Company in accordance with the tax basis of such assets as of the Closing Date, with the excess allocated to goodwill (i.e. classes VI and VII), for all Tax purposes. The Company, the Initial Members and Purchaser shall file all Tax Returns (including claims for refund) in a manner consistent with such allocation and will report any adjustment to the Purchase Price (as adjusted in accordance with this Agreement) consistent with such allocation.

3.6 Tax Treatment. The parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Rev. Rul. 99-6 (and corresponding applicable state Law), the purchase by Purchaser of the Interests will be treated as a deemed liquidation of the Company and a deemed distribution of the Company’s assets to the Members followed by a deemed purchase by Purchaser of all the Company’s assets. In accordance with Rev. Rul. 99-6, the Members shall be treated as having sold partnership interests in accordance with Section 741 of the Code. Each party shall report the transaction consistently with such treatment on their respective U.S. federal and state income tax returns.

3.7 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Interests (the “Closing”) shall be held at a mutually acceptable location on December 31, 2011 or on such other date as may be mutually agreed to by the parties. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The time at which the Closing shall be deemed to occur is 11:59 p.m. local time on the Closing Date.

(c) Claims for Indemnity. If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is proposed to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) against the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 10.2. If any Claim is made against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder by a Person who is not an Affiliate or Representative of a party hereto (“Third Party Claim”), written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the service of the citation or summons).

A Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) Defense of Claims. After receipt of a Claim Notice relating to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it desires (unless (x) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, (y) greater than 50% of the Damages are reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the Indemnified Party because such Damages exceed the applicable maximum limit (if any) for indemnification contained in Section 10.2(f), or (z) material equitable or other non-monetary relief is sought from any Indemnified Party pursuant to such Third Party Claim) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 10.2 for any fees of other counsel with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification (but no such

assumption shall affect the applicability of any limit on indemnification contained in this Section 10.2), and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims effected without its consent if such consent is required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. If the Indemnifying Party does not, within twenty (20) days after receipt of a Claim Notice, give written notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of the defense; provided that no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims may be effected by an Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and (B) no monetary damages are awarded that will be the subject of a claim for indemnification by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party.

ARTICLE XI

TAX MATTERS

11.1 Tax Returns.

(a) The Initial Members shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, on a timely basis, all of the Tax Returns for the Company for all taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date (to the extent not already filed by the Company) (sometimes referred to as “Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns”). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared accurately, using the accounting methods and other practices that are consistent with those used by the Company in their prior Tax Returns except as otherwise required by Law. Items to be taken into account in any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return for the short taxable period ending on the Closing Date will be determined under the Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law). The parties agree that the federal income and applicable state income Tax Returns of the Company shall each be prepared on the basis that the taxable year of the Company for the year of the Closing ends on the Closing Date and such taxable year is not a Straddle Period for any such income Tax purposes. At least fifteen (15) calendar days before any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return’s due date, the Initial Members shall submit to Purchaser a full and complete draft of each such Tax Return for Purchaser’s review prior to filing with the applicable Tax Authority. Purchaser shall have the right to propose reasonable comments regarding such Tax Return, which comments the Initial Members shall consider in good faith. Subject to Section 11.3, the Company and/or the Members, as applicable, will pay to the applicable Tax Authority, or cause the payment to the applicable Tax Authority of, any Taxes shown as due in such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns.

(b) Subject to the Initial Members’ review, if applicable, Purchaser will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable years or periods ending after the Closing Date, and Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes shown as due thereon; provided, that with respect to any Straddle Period, Purchaser will be entitled to indemnification as set forth in Section 11.3. At least thirty (30) calendar days before any Straddle Period Tax Return’s due date, Purchaser shall submit to the Initial Members a full and complete draft of each such Tax Return for the Initial Members review and comment prior to filing with the applicable Tax Authority. Purchaser shall not amend any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return without the prior written consent of the Initial Members.

11.2 Apportionment of Taxes Other than Income Taxes. With respect to any Straddle Period of the Company with respect to Taxes other than income Taxes, Purchaser, the Company and the Initial Members will, to the extent permitted by Law, elect to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of the Company. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the Company to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period for any such Taxes, any such Taxes arising out of or relating to a Straddle Period will be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Period based on a closing of the books of the Company; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that offset Taxes other than income Taxes that are calculated on an annualized basis will be apportioned on a daily pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Taxes imposed with respect to a time period (e.g., property taxes) shall be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Period on a daily pro rata basis.

11.3 Indemnification. The Initial Members will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for, and will pay to, or on behalf of, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons an amount equal to (a) any Taxes of the Company for the Pre-Closing Period that have not been paid prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent of non-income Taxes included in the calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount, (b) any Taxes relating to any member of an affiliated group with which the Company has filed a Tax Return on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis for a Pre-Closing Period, (c) any Tax deficiency, resulting from, or in connection with, any breach of the Initial Members’ representations in Section 4.24 or the Initial Members’ covenants contained in this Article 11, and (d) with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 11.3, all related, reasonable legal, accounting and experts’ fees and expenses.

11.4 Indemnification Process. In the event of a third-party claim for Taxes arising out of or relating to any taxable year or period of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date, the indemnification procedures will be in accordance with Section 10.2. Any indemnification payments due under this Section 11 shall be paid within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of a final determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or similar provisions of federal, state or foreign Law) of the amount of Tax due.

11.5 Characterization of Indemnity Payments. All amounts paid by the Initial Members by reason of Sections 10.2(a) or 11.3 will be treated to the extent permitted under applicable Law as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

11.6 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all Transfer Taxes will be borne by the Initial Members (pro rata and in accordance with their Initial Member Interests prior to Closing), regardless of which party is obligated to pay such Tax under applicable Law. The Initial Members will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, on a timely basis, all Tax Returns that may be required to comply with Law relating to such Taxes.

11.7 Tax Records. The Initial Members will make available to Purchaser such records as Purchaser may require for the preparation of any Post-Closing Period Tax Return and such records as Purchaser may require for the defense of any proceeding concerning any Tax Return of the Company.

11.8 Survival. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Section 11 and the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.24 will survive the Closing and will remain in full force

and effect until six (6) months following the expiration of the applicable underlying statutes of limitations (including extensions) with respect to any Taxes that would be indemnifiable by the Initial Members under Section 11.3.

11.9 Refunds. Any income Tax refunds that are received by Purchaser to the extent relating to periods prior to Closing shall be for the account of the Members, and Purchaser shall pay over to the Members any net, after tax amount of such refund (net of any costs or expenses incurred by Purchaser, at the Initial Members’ request, in collecting such amount) within fifteen (15) days after receipt.

12.1.4 Notwithstanding the above, the restrictions in Section 12.1.2 with respect to EM shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date if an EM Exit is consummated within such first year and upon the date of such EM Exit if consummated thereafter within the Restricted Period. Further, in no event shall the buyer of EM in an EM Exit, as an Affiliate or otherwise, be subject to the restrictions in Section 12.1.2 as the result of such buyer’s purchase of EM provided that EM, or the operation of the assets thereof, as the case may be, shall continue to be subject to such restriction.

The Initial Members acknowledge that their support and promotion of the Company’s business has been important in connection with the past growth and success of such business and that their agreement to provide continued support and promotion of the Company and Purchaser is a significant inducement to Purchaser’s agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

12.3 Confidential Information.

(a) After the Closing Date, the Initial Members shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, at any time disclose to any Person other than Purchaser or use any Intellectual Property or confidential information owned, possessed, licensed or used by or relating to the Company, whether or not such information is embodied in writing or other physical form.
