a.              Buyer is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power to enter into and perform its obligations under this agreement.

c.               Neither the execution and delivery of this agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, violates any agreement of Buyer, or any statute, ordinance, regulation, order, judgment, or decree of any court or governmental agency to which Buyer is bound or subject.

e.               Buyer and each of its subsidiaries is, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this agreement, Buyer and each of its subsidiaries shall be, Solvent.  For this purpose, “Solvent” means, as to any of Buyer or its subsidiaries (each, a “Person”) at any time, that (i) the fair value of the property of such Person is greater than the amount of such Person’s liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as such value is established and liabilities evaluated for purposes of Section 101(32)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and, in the alternative, for purposes of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act; (ii) the present fair saleable

4

value of the property of such Person is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured; (iii) such Person is able to realize upon its property and pay its debts and other liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business; (iv) such Person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Person’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (v) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which such Person’s property would constitute unreasonably small capital.  For such purposes, any contingent liability (including pending litigation, contingent obligations, pension plan liabilities and claims for federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any) is valued at the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

7.                                      Subsequent Events.  If, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Clawback Period”), the Buyer or its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect (a) a Company Sale, (b) a purchase of Common Units from an existing Member by Buyer, or (c) a distribution of cash by Buyer to its Members (other than tax distributions), and in connection with such event (each a “Subsequent Event”), the Members receive (or are entitled to receive) an amount per Common Unit (such amount, the “Subsequent Event Price Per Unit”) greater than $449.21(such amount, the “Purchase Price Per Unit”), then in each such case, upon consummation of such Subsequent Event, Buyer will pay to each Seller the product of (A) the difference between the Subsequent Event Price Per Unit and the Purchase Price Per Unit and (B) the total number of Purchased Units purchased from each Seller.  If after the Closing Date and prior to or in connection with any Subsequent Event, the Buyer effects any split, dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction (other than any such transaction for which Sellers received a payment pursuant to clause (c) of the sentence immediately preceding this sentence) affecting the value of the Common Unit (each, an “Intervening Event”), then, in applying the provisions of this Section 7, the Subsequent Event Price Per Unit paid or to be paid in connection with such Subsequent Event shall be adjusted to reflect the value per Common Unit that would have been paid in connection with such Subsequent Event had no such Intervening Event occurred.

8.                                      Tax Matters.

a.              Closing of the Books.   In determining the taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, credit, and all other tax items allocated or apportioned to the Members for the portion of the Company’s Fiscal Year ending on the Closing Date, the Company shall adopt an interim closing of the books as of March 31, 2013.   This

5

interim closing of the books shall be used by the parties for all tax reporting and compliance purposes.

b.              Allocation of Purchase Price.   For federal income purposes (and for purposes of corresponding provisions of state and local law) the Purchase Price (which shall be deemed to include any additional amounts paid to Sellers under Section 7 hereof) shall be allocated to the Buyer’s indirect interest in the tangible assets of the Company in an amount equal to the Company’s net book value of such tangible assets as determined for financial accounting purposes and as set forth in the Company’s financial statements.  Any additional Purchase Price remaining after the allocation of Purchase Price as described in the preceding sentence shall be allocated to goodwill of the Company.  None of the Purchase Price shall be allocated or apportioned to any fee, service, or other item.  Except as required by law, all of the parties shall account consistently for the allocation of Purchase Price in the manner described in this section for all tax reporting and compliance purposes, including for the purposes of determining any adjustments or items of the Company or any Member under Sections 734, 736, 743, and 751 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
