Redemption Price and Payment. 3.1 Redemption Price. The purchase price for the Corbin Interests (the "Redemption Price") shall equal the sum of (i) the redemption price for the CCP LP Interests as determined by an independent appraiser (the "Appraiser") in the manner provided in Section 3.3 below (the "CCP LP Price") plus (ii) the redemption price for the CCP LP Interests as determined by the Appraiser in the manner provided in Section 3.3 below (the "CCPM LLC Price"), and the Redemption Price shall be payable by the Corbin Entities to Seller and Epstein on the Closing Date in the manner provided in Section 3.2 below. Seller is agreeing that a portion of the Redemption Price will be paid to Epstein in consideration for Epstein agreeing to the cancellation of the July 25 Sale Agreement. 3.2 Payment. The Redemption Price shall be paid by the Corbin Entities to Seller and Epstein as follows: (a) Division of Redemption Price Between Seller and Epstein. If the Redemption Price is less than $2,000,000, then (i) the first $1,000,000 of the Redemption Price shall be paid to Epstein and (ii) the balance of the Redemption Price shall be paid to Seller. If the Redemption Price is greater than or equal to $2,000,000, then (i) 50% of the Redemption Price shall be paid to Epstein and (ii) 50% of the Redemption Price shall be paid to Seller. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, CCP LP shall pay to Seller that portion of the CCP LP Price equal to the product of (x) the percentage of the Redemption Price that Seller is entitled to receive pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 3.2(a) multiplied by (y) the CCP LP Price, and shall pay the balance of the CCP LP Price to Epstein, and CCPM LLC shall pay to Seller that portion of the CCPM LLC Price equal to the product of (x) the percentage of the Redemption Price that Seller is entitled to receive pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 3.2(a) multiplied by (y) the CCPM LLC Price, and shall pay the balance of the CCPM LLC Price to Epstein. By way of illustration only: (1) if the CCP LP Price is determined by the Appraiser to be $1,000,000 and the CCPM LLC Price is determined by the Appraiser to be $4,000,000, then: (A) the Redemption Price would equal $5,000,000, (B) Seller would be entitled to 50% of the Redemption Price, or $2,500,000, and Epstein would be entitled to 50% of the Redemption Price, or $2,500,000, (C) CCP LP would pay 50% of the CCP LP Price to Seller and 50% of the CCP LP Price to Epstein, and CCPM LLC would pay 50% of the CCPM LLC Price to Seller and 50% of the CCPM LLC Price to Epstein, and (2) if the CCP LP Price is determined by the Appraiser to be $500,000 and the CCPM LLC Price is determined by the Appraiser to be $1,000,000, then: (A) the Redemption Price would equal $1,500,000, (B) Seller would be entitled to 33-1/3% of the Redemption Price, or $500,000, and Epstein would be entitled to 66-2/3% of the Redemption Price, or $1,000,000, (C) CCP LP would pay 33-1/3% of the CCP LP Price to Seller and 66-2/3% of the CCP LP Price to Epstein, and CCPM LLC would pay 33-1/3% of the CCPM LLC Price to Seller and 66-2/3% of the CCPM LLC Price to Epstein. (b) The portion of the Redemption Price payable to Epstein shall be paid to him on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated in writing by Epstein to the Corbin Entities, and the portion of the Redemption Price payable to Seller shall be paid to him on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated in writing by Seller to the Corbin Entities. 3 EFTA00583427 3.3 Determination of Redemption Price. (a) The Parties agree that shall act as the Appraiser and shall determine the CCP LP Price, the CCPM LLC Price, the Redemption Price and the allocation of the CCP LP Price and the CCPM LLC Price to various asset classes, all using the methodology described herein. The Appraiser shall be engaged by Seller and the Corbin Entities to make the determinations required herein in the manner contemplated herein, but the costs and expenses of the Appraiser shall be borne by, and shall be the sole responsibility of, the Corbin Entities. The Corbin Entities agree to give the Appraiser prompt, full and complete access to and copies of such information regarding the Corbin Entities and their business, performance, financial condition, assets, current and historical income and expenses and prospects (including, without limitation, audited and unaudited financial statements and the accountants' worksheets used in the preparation of such statements) as the Appraiser may reasonably request in order to perform its duties and make the determinations required hereunder. The Corbin Entities shall promptly furnish Mr. Zwim with copies of all information supplied by them to the Appraiser. (b) In order to arrive at the CCP LP Price and the CCPM LLC Price, the Appraiser shall first determine the value of each Corbin Entity as a going concern in a private market change of control transaction as of August 31, 2011 taking into account its financial condition, earnings, assets under management, prospects, investments and all other assets (including carried interests), and such other factors as of August 31, 2011 (and without regard to events occurring after August 31, 2011) as the Appraiser deems relevant and used as common factors in valuing similar companies in the investment management industry, including appropriate comparable private market transactions, appropriate public market comparables adjusted for a control transaction, discounted cash flow analysis assuming weighted average cost of capital ranges for potential acquirors, and any other valuation method it deems appropriate (the "Business Value"). Notwithstanding anything in the Corbin Entities' Constituent Instruments to the contrary, the Appraiser shall take into account the value of goodwill and all other intangible assets of the Corbin Entities in determining the value of each Corbin Entity as if the goodwill and intangible assets had a value and were freely transferrable. Once the Business Value of a Corbin Entity has been determined, the Appraiser shall determine the value of the Corbin Interests in that Corbin Entity by determining how much the owner of the Corbin Interests would receive from that Corbin Entity (on a pre-tax basis) assuming that Corbin Entity sold its entire business and assets in an all cash transaction for its Business Value, allocated the gain from the transaction to its partners or members in accordance with its Constituent Instruments and then liquidated and distributed all of its assets in accordance with the terms of its Constituent Instruments, and taking into account all the income and gain that has been and would have been (assuming the hypothetical sale of all of each Corbin Entity's assets for the Business Value of that Corbin Entity) allocated to Seller and all distributions that have been made to Seller under the Constituent Instruments. The CCP LP Price will equal the aggregate amount that the holder of the Corbin Interests would receive from CCP LP based on the foregoing assumptions and determinations, the CCPM LLC Price will equal the aggregate amount that the holder of the Corbin Interests would receive from CCPM LLC based on the foregoing assumptions and determinations, and the Redemption Price will equal the sum of the CCP LP Price and the CCPM LLC Price as so determined. 4 EFTA00583428 (c) For purposes of determining how the Parties will report the character of the gain or loss from the sale of the Corbin Interests and for purposes of how they will account for the redemption of the Corbin Interests and report it on their Tax Returns and other income tax filings, the Appraiser shall determine how the Business Value for each Corbin entity should be allocated among the following categories of its assets (the "Asset Classes"): (i) cash; (ii) management contracts (giving proper consideration to the term and termination provisions of such contracts) and accounts receivable; (iii) investment assets, such as carried interests, capital accounts and other investments in hedge funds and other investment funds; (iv) property and equipment; and (v) goodwill and going concern value. (d) After making its final determination of the CCP LP Price, the CCPM LLC Price, the Redemption Price, the Business Value of each of CCP LP and CCPM LLC and the allocation of those Business Values among the different Assets Classes for CCP LP and CCPM LLC, the Appraiser shall prepare a written report of its findings along with a description of the methodology and analysis it used to reach its conclusions and shall promptly send such report (the "Appraiser's Report") to the Parties. 3.4 Allocation of Redemption Price: Treatment and Reporting. (a) Notwithstanding anything in the Corbin Entities' Constituent Instruments to the contrary, (i) the CCP LP Price shall be allocated among the various Asset Classes based on, and in the same proportion as, the Appraiser's determination of how the Business Value of CCP LP determined by the Appraiser should be allocated among such Asset Classes, and the CCPM LLC Price shall be allocated among the various Asset Classes based on, and in the same proportion as, the Appraiser's determination of how the Business Value of CCPM LLC determined by the Appraiser should be allocated among such Asset Classes, and (ii) the Parties shall (a) act in accordance with the agreed allocation in the preparation of financial statements and the filing of all Tax Returns and related schedules and statements, (b) not voluntarily take any position inconsistent therewith in the course of any Tax proceeding, unless required to do so by applicable law, and (c) provide any other Parties promptly with any other requested information required to timely comply with all Tax reporting and filing obligations. (b) Seller and the Corbin Entities shall treat and report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale of the entire Corbin Interests by Seller to the Corbin Entities for all financial and Tax purposes and on all Tax Returns on which transactions are required to be reported. 4. The Closing. 4.1 aiagi .
