Related to Purchase Price Allocation and Earn Out

• Purchase Price Allocations Seller and Buyer mutually agree to allocate the Purchase Price among the Assets as set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto. Seller and Buyer agree that said allocation as set forth in EXHIBIT B is the proper allocation of the Purchase Price in accordance with the fair market value of the Assets, and that said allocation of the Purchase Price of the Assets as set forth in EXHIBIT B shall apply for purposes of Sections 755 and 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended and together with any regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Code"). Seller and Buyer agree (and each agrees to cause its affiliates) to report the federal, state and local income and other tax consequences of the transactions contemplated herein, and in particular to report the information required under Section 1060(b) of the Code (and any regulations promulgated thereunder), in a manner consistent with such allocation. Seller and Buyer further agree (and each agrees to cause its affiliates) to not take any tax position inconsistent with such allocation in connection with the examination of any of their tax returns, refund claims or litigation, investigations or other proceedings involving any of their tax returns. Seller and Buyer each further agree that they will not take any position inconsistent with this allocation in preparing financial statements, tax returns, reports to shareholders or government authorities or otherwise. Buyer and Seller each agree to furnish the other a copy of IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060 of the Code) as filed with the Internal Revenue Service by such party or any affiliate thereof, pursuant to Sections 755 and 1060 of the Code, as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, within thirty (30) days of the filing of such form with the Internal Revenue Service.

• 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 and Allocation The price payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor for the Assets shall be Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) which the parties agree shall be allocated as follows:

• Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase price for the Interests and the Purchased Assets (other than the Specified OUS Assets) (such amount, the “Purchase Price”) is payable as follows:

• 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.

• 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.

• Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.

• 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.”

• 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

• Tax Allocation Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to determine a reasonable allocation of the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(i) and Section 3.3, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree to such allocation and shall reduce such agreement to writing, which agreement shall be reflected in an Exhibit 2.1(j) to be approved by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and properly execute each party’s respective completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and any other forms or statements required by the Code (or state or local Tax law), Treasury Regulations or the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority (together with any and all attachments required to be filed therewith), which forms and statements will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall file timely such forms and statements with the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any subsequent payments under this Agreement and any other subsequent events required to be taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code. Seller and Purchaser shall not file any Tax Return or other documents or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation by any Governmental Authority. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.
