Recitals

A. INTX and CRGH entered into a Letter of Intent dated March 3, 2006, pursuant to which CRGH and INTX set forth certain understandings and agreements relating to the possible business combination by way of a joint venture (the “Venture”) through, among other things, the contribution to a Delaware Limited Liability Company of INTX’s wholly-owned subsidiary American Background Information Services, Inc. (“ABI”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRG, Control Risks Screening Limited (“Screening”).

B. The purpose of the Venture, as more fully detailed herein, is for the Parties to offer and provide employment background screening and vendor and business partner screening services to businesses through a global distribution network, and engage in such other business activities as are approved by the Board of Managers of the Company from time to time, subject to the Minority Protection Rights provided herein.

C. CRG will transfer to the Company the Screening Shares and INTX will transfer to the Company the ABI Shares (the Screening Shares and the ABI Shares, herein collectively the “Transferred Property”). In addition, each Party will contribute certain management and other services critical to the success of the Venture and, connection therewith, enter into the various required Ancillary Agreements to this Agreement.

D. CRGH enters into this Agreement for the purpose of guaranteeing performance by CRG of its obligations under this Agreement and under each of the Ancillary Agreements, as more fully set forth in Schedule J hereto.

Agreement

In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, CRG, INTX, CRGH and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
FORMATION

1.1 Agreement to Form a LLC. CRG and INTX have formed the Company pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (“LLC Agreement”) shall be consistent with this Agreement and in substantially the form as set forth on Schedules A and B hereto, respectively.

1.2 Name. The name under which the Company has been formed and shall conduct business is “Screening International, LLC”.

1.3 Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect until termination of the Venture in accordance with Section 12.4 below.

1.4 Principal Corporate Office. The principal office of the Company shall be located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx X, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or at such location as the Board of Managers of the Company shall determine from time to time.

1.5 Ownership and Waiver of Partition. Except as otherwise provided for herein or separately by mutual agreement of the Parties, all property and interests in property (real, personal or intangible), owned by the Company shall be held in the name of the Company and deemed owned by the Company as an entity, and no Party, individually, shall have any ownership of or interest in such property owned by the Company except as a member of the Company. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives, during the term of the Venture and during any period of liquidation following any dissolution of the Company, any right that it may have to seek or maintain any action for partition with respects to the assets of the Company.

1.6 Costs of Formation. Each of the Parties hereto will bear all costs, charges and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

1.7 Scope of Business. The scope of the business (the “Business”) of the Venture shall be to offer and provide employment background screening and vendor and business partner screening services (the “Products”) to corporations, partnerships, joint ventures and other business and commercial entities, not-for-profit entities, and governmental agencies and bodies (each and collectively, an “Entity”), through a global distribution network, and engage in such other business activities as are approved by the Board of Managers of the Company, subject to the Minority Protection Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, and unless otherwise approved by the Board of Managers of the Company, subject to the Minority Protection Rights, however, the scope of the Business shall not include: (i) the provision to any Entity of services or sale of products to any Entity relating to identity verification, identity fraud or theft protection, or business or personal credit reports or credit information, and (ii) the provision of professional due diligence investigations that generally (A) are not provided on a volume basis, (B) include a detailed written analysis or appraisal, and (C) as of the date of the Closing, are provided for a fee of more than US $1,000 (adjusted by the applicable exchange rate as of Closing for other

currencies) per investigation per person (a product or service that meets all of the criteria listed above, a “Professional Due Diligence Investigation”).

ARTICLE II
CAPITALIZATION

2.1 Units. Ownership interests in the Company shall be known as Units (the “Units”) and the Party holding such Units sometimes referred to herein as a “Unitholder”.

2.2 Initial Contributions of the Parties. The initial capital contributions of the Parties (the “Initial Contributions”) shall be as set forth below:

(a) The Initial Contribution of CRG shall be made in the form of the Screening Shares, the making of representations and warranties set out in Article IV and the entering into of certain of the Ancillary Agreements. In exchange for CRG’s Initial Contribution, CRG shall receive an initial percentage of the issued and outstanding Units of the Company (“Percentage Interest”) equal to forty-five percent (45%) of the issued and outstanding Units.

(b) The Initial Contribution of INTX shall be made in the form of the ABI Shares, the making of the representations and warranties in Article IV and the entering into of certain of the Ancillary Agreements. In exchange for INTX’s Initial Contribution, INTX shall receive an initial Percentage Interest equal to fifty-five percent (55%) of the issued and outstanding Units of the Company.

(c) Schedule C to this Agreement shall set forth the Percentage Interests of the Parties. Schedule C shall be amended from time to time by the Board of Managers to the extent necessary to reflect any changes in each Party’s Percentage Interest pursuant to any Additional Capital Contributions or similar event under Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below or pursuant to any adjustment required hereby or by the LLC Agreement.

2.3 Financing and Additional Capital Contributions. The Members shall cooperate in good faith to meet any capital or funding needs related to the operation of the Venture as determined by the Board of Managers, consistent with the Minority Protection Rights as set forth in Section 7.3 below. The Members will approach funding needs by (in order of preference) (a) utilizing internally generated funds of the Company or the Subsidiaries, (b) obtaining the best then-available financing from a third party lender to the Company or the Subsidiaries, (c) obtaining financing from a third party lender to the Company with each of the Members guaranteeing such indebtedness in proportion with their respective Percentage Interests at the time the guarantees are issued, (d) obtaining financing from a Member on such commercially reasonable terms as the Board of Managers may determine; provided that the Company shall offer to the Members the opportunity to lend or otherwise provide such funds (other than as capital contributions) on such commercially reasonable terms, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, or as otherwise may be agreed to, (e) a combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above together with a capital call on the Members to make additional

capital contributions in the form of additional equity investments (such additional capital contributions in the form of additional equity investments, and consistent with the Minority Protection Rights, “Additional Capital Contributions”), and (f) a capital call on the Members for Additional Capital Contributions. All capital calls on the Members shall be in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest at the time the capital call is made.

2.4 Failure to Make Required Additional Capital Contributions. If either Party fails to make all or some of its Additional Capital Contribution to the Company as required pursuant to Section 2.3 (the “Non-Contributing Party”), the other Party, upon making its own required Additional Capital Contribution, may (but is not required to), without prejudice to such other rights or remedies as may be available under applicable law or hereunder, contribute to the Company an additional amount equal to the Non-Contributing Party’s unpaid Additional Capital Contribution. Such Party may fund any such amount for twelve (12) months via a senior-secured promissory note and loan agreement with the Company the (“Default Note”) at an annualized rate of interest equal to LIBOR plus 6%. Any security for the Default Notice shall be subordinated to any third party security required as a term of financing required in accordance with Section 2.3 (whether before or after the relevant capital call). During such twelve (12) month period following default, the Non-Contributing Party shall have the right to cure such funding default by paying to the Company the required Additional Capital Contribution and paying to the Company an additional amount equal to the interest payable on the Default Note. Following satisfactory payments of both such amounts, the appropriate number of Units will be issued to the Non-Contributing Party and the respective Percentage Interests of the Parties shall be re-adjusted and reinstated as if the default by the Non-Contributing Party had not occurred.

If, however, the Non-Contributing Party fails to cure such default within the allotted twelve (12) month period, the non-defaulting Party may thereafter, in its sole discretion, either (i) extend such senior secured loan arrangement with the Company, repayable over a period not to exceed five (5) years in total (calculated from the date of the commencement of the loan), or (ii) make an Additional Capital Contribution in exchange for additional Units of the Company, with such Units being issued based on the following valuation of the Company: (x) if such default by the Non-Contributing Party occurs within three (3) years of the Closing, the valuation of the Company in connection with such additional issuance of Units shall be $37.8 million (i.e., the agreed upon enterprise value of the Company as at Closing), or (y) if such default by the Non-Contributing Party occurs more than three (3) years after the Closing, the valuation of the Company in connection with such additional issuance of Units shall be made pursuant to the valuation determined by application of the Company appraisal mechanism set forth in Section 6.3 below.

Following such events, the Percentage Interests of the Parties shall, ipso facto, be adjusted in order that each Party’s Percentage Interest shall be equal to (a) the total amount of Capital Contributions made by such Party, divided by (b) the total amount of Capital Contributions made by all Parties.

2.5 No Individual Authority. Neither Party shall, without the express, prior written consent of the other Party, take any action for or on behalf of or in the name of the Company, any Subsidiary or the other Party, or assume, undertake or enter into any commitment, debt, duty or

obligation binding upon the Company or the other Party, except for (a) actions expressly provided for in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights and obligations set forth in the INTX Management and Services Agreement), or the LLC Agreement, (b) actions approved by the Board of Managers within the scope of its authority granted in this Agreement or the LLC Agreement and consistent with the Minority Protection Rights or (c) actions to enforce the rights of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under any of the Ancillary Agreements. Any action taken in violation of this Section 2.5 shall be void. Each Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Party from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments and awards, and costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and all court costs), arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of any breach of this Section 2.5 by such Party, unless and to the extent such Party was acting in good faith and on reasonable belief that it was authorized hereunder to take such action. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or dissolution of the Company.

ARTICLE III

3.1 Purchase and Sale of the Company Units. The Parties will execute and deliver counterparts of the Ancillary Agreements and make the Initial Contributions to the Company at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held on a date mutually satisfactory to the Parties, expected to be on or about May 31, 2006. At the Closing, the Parties will cause the Company to sell to each of the Parties and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each of the Parties will purchase from the Company the number of Units set forth opposite such Party’s name on Schedule C. The Closing of the purchase and sale of the Units and the initiation of the Venture will be effected by exchange of documents, certificates and agreements, by air courier, facsimile transmission or other means satisfactory to the Parties.

(a) Representations and Warranties.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1 Representations and Warranties of INTX to CRG and the Company. As a material inducement for CRG to make its Initial Contribution, INTX hereby represents and warrants to CRG on the date of this Agreement and the date of Closing:

(a) Authority. INTX has all requisite power and authority to transfer the Transferred Property and make its Initial Contribution to the Company in exchange for its respective Percentage Interest. The transfer thereof as contemplated hereby will not (i) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any instrument or agreement to which it is a party or which would affect the Company’s ownership of the INTX Transferred Property, (ii) violate any provisions of, or result in the breach of INTX’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational or constituent documents, or (iii) violate any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, permit, license, or decree applicable to INTX or ABI.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Title to Transferred Property. INTX is the sole legal and beneficial owner of its Transferred Property to be contributed to the Company, and, upon the transfer of its Transferred Property to the Company and except as otherwise provided for herein, the Company shall have good and marketable title to that Transferred Property free and clear of any and all liens, security interests, mortgages, claims, encumbrances, options, rights of first refusal to purchase or license, or charges or any contractual restrictions of whatever nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, INTX represents and warrants that the authorized equity securities of ABI consist of 5,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which 5,000 shares are issued and outstanding (the “ABI Shares”) and that INTX is the sole record and beneficial owner of all of the ABI Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances and the ABI Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

(d) Litigation. There are (i) no audits, inspections, actions, suits, claims, investigations or legal, administrative or arbitration proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of INTX, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates, whether at law or in equity, whether civil or criminal in nature or whether before or by any federal, state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which relates to INTX’s Transferred Property, nor, to the knowledge of INTX, does any basis exist therefor; (ii) no judgments, decrees, injunctions or orders of any court, tribunal, governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or arbitrator against INTX or any Affiliate of INTX in any way relating to its Transferred Property; or (iii) no proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws against INTX which have not been terminated.

(e) Compliance; Government Authorization. To INTX’s knowledge, it and ABI have complied, and are currently in compliance in all material respects, with all applicable federal, state, territorial and local laws, ordinances, regulations or orders applicable to ABI.

(f) Infringement. (i) ABI owns legally and beneficially or licenses all necessary rights in and over all Intellectual Property used by ABI, or otherwise necessary to operate the business of ABI, (ii) to its knowledge, the operation of the business of ABI does not infringe, misappropriate or violate the Intellectual Property rights of any third party, (iii) to its knowledge, no third party is infringing on any Intellectual Property owned or exclusively licensed to ABI, and (iv) the Company and its Subsidiaries will be able to use and exercise the Intellectual Property used by ABI after the Closing to the same extent used by ABI prior to the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not restrict, inhibit or impair such rights.

(g) Financial Statements. INTX has delivered to CRG copies of the unaudited balance sheet of ABI as at April 30, 2006 (the “ABI Balance Sheet Date”) and the related unaudited profit and loss account for the period then ended (such statements, including the related notes and schedules thereto are referred to herein as the “ABI Financial Statements”). The ABI Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP consistently applied and present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ABI as of the date and for the period indicated therein. Nothing has come to the attention of INTX since such date that would indicate that such ABI Financial Statements are not true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof. Furthermore, an unaudited balance sheet of ABI as at the date of Closing prepared on the same basis as the ABI Financial Statements will reflect an aggregate Tangible Net Book Value of not less than (US$4.4m).

(h) Internal Controls. ABI maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that all transactions and dispositions of its assets are accurately and fairly reflected on its books and records; that all such transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and that all such transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in conformity with US GAAP and to maintain accountability for its asset.

(i) Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. ABI does not have any liability (whether known or unknown and whether absolute or contingent), except for (a) liabilities shown on the ABI Financial Statements, (b) liabilities which have arisen since the ABI Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business or which have been disclosed in the ABI Disclosure Schedule and (c) contractual and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business which are not required by US GAAP to be reflected on a balance sheet and which would not, either individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a material adverse effect on the business or operations of ABI. ABI does not have any off-balance sheet liabilities that are not required by such accounting principles to be so reflected.

(j) Taxes. INTX (in respect of ABI) and ABI have timely filed all Tax returns or reports required pursuant to applicable law, and has timely paid all Taxes or assessments due.

(k) Insurance. ABI maintains (or INTX maintains on ABI’s behalf) valid policies of insurance (as set forth in the INTX Disclosure Schedule) with respect to its properties and business of the kinds and in the amounts not less than is customarily obtained by corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated, including, without limitation, insurance against loss, damage, fire, theft, public liability and other risks.

(l) Material Contracts and Obligations. Set forth on the INTX Disclosure Schedule is a list of all material agreements or commitments of any nature (whether written or oral) to which ABI is a party or by it is bound, including, without limitation, (a) any agreement which requires future expenditures by ABI in excess of $10,000 or which might result in payments to ABI in excess of $10,000, (b) any employment and consulting agreements, employee benefit, bonus, pension, profit-sharing, stock option, stock purchase and similar plans and arrangements, (c) any distributor, sales representative, subcontractor or similar agreement, or (d) any other agreement that is material to the operations, business or finances of ABI. All of such agreements and contracts are valid, binding and in full force and effect. ABI is not in default of any of its obligations under any of the agreements or contracts listed on the INTX Disclosure Schedule.

(m) Compliance; No Breach. ABI has, in all material respects, complied with all laws, regulations and orders applicable to its business and has all material permits and licenses required thereby. There is no term or provision of any note, mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, agreement, grant, purchase order or other instrument to which ABI is a party or by which it is bound, or, to INTX’s or ABI’s knowledge, of any provision of any state, federal or foreign judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon INTX or ABI, which adversely affects ABI or which, so far as INTX or ABI may now foresee, in the future is reasonably likely to result in or have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of ABI. Neither INTX nor ABI is in violation or breach of, or in default under, any note, indenture, mortgage, lease, contract, grant, purchase order or other instrument, document or agreement to which ABI is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or affected or any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency or other governmental body as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. There exists no condition, event or act which after notice, lapse of time, or both, may constitute a violation or breach of, or a default under, any of the foregoing.

(n) Books and Records. The minute books of ABI contain materially complete and accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions of their respective stockholders and directors and committees thereof. The stock ledgers of ABI are each complete and accurate and reflect all issuances, transfers, repurchases and cancellations of shares of capital stock of ABI, as the case may be.

5.2 Subsequent Business Plans.

In the event that an updated Business Plan is not agreed upon within the period required, the prior Business Plan shall remain in effect until such time as the an updated Business Plan is approved by the Board of Managers.

ARTICLE VI
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

6.1 Restrictions on Transfer. No Party shall Transfer or provide an Encumbrance over all or any part of the rights in its ownership interest in the Company. Absent prior written approval from the other Party hereto, neither Party shall Transfer Units of the Company except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (save where it conflicts with the provision of this Agreement) the LLC Agreement.

6.2 Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or (save where it conflicts with the provision of this Agreement) the LLC Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books treat any purported transferee of such ownership interest as the owner of such ownership interest for any purpose.

6.3 Appraisal.

(a) At any time after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing, either INTX or CRG may, at its sole cost and expense (save in the event of a funding default pursuant to Section 2.4 above, the non-defaulting Party may require, at the sole cost and expense of the Non-Contributing Party), request a fair market value appraisal of the Units and of the Company, such appraisal to be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3. In undertaking the appraisal, the Appraiser (as defined below) shall be required to value the Company, acting as an expert, not as an arbitrator, in a manner that takes into account (solely for transfers of Units held by CRG or in a funding default by CRG) any diminution in value to the Company due to the loss of the CRG branding if then being employed by the Company and the loss of the then-existing distribution capabilities of the Company being undertaken by CRG pursuant to the terms of the CRG Marketing Agreement with Parties hereto hereby confirming that the Appraiser’s factoring into such appraisal is consistent with the concept of “fair market value” for all purposes hereunder. Following receipt of such appraisal pursuant to the terms hereof, the Parties agree to meet and collectively discuss the possibility of a buy/sell arrangement between the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on terms of such a transaction, either Party will be at liberty to utilize the Appraiser’s valuation in connection with a sale to a third party purchaser, subject to the Right of First Refusal set forth in Section 6.4, and the Tag-Along and Drag-Along rights set forth in Section 6.5 and 6.6 below, with such appraisal also available for use with respect to the procedure detailed in Section 2.4 above.

(b) The Parties hereto shall either mutually agree upon a single appraiser (the “Appraiser”) who will conduct the appraisal, or, if the Parties cannot so agree within ten (10) days after written notice by one Party to the other for a determination of the fair market value by agreement of the Parties, then the appraisal shall be conducted by three qualified appraisers (being one of an internationally recognized banker, accountant or business valuation specialist), one of whom shall be selected by INTX, one of whom shall be selected by CRG and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two appraisers. In the event that either Party has failed to appoint an appraiser within seven (7) days after notice of the appointment of the first appraiser by either INTX or CRG, as applicable, the first appraiser shall proceed to make the

appraisal alone, and such appraiser’s appraisal shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If, within five (5) days after appointment of a second appraiser, the two appraisers appointed by INTX and CRG are unable to agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser, they shall give INTX and CRG written notice of such failure to agree, and, if within five (5) days after such notice, INTX and CRG fail to agree upon the selection of a third appraiser, then during the next five (5) days either INTX or CRG, upon written notice to the other, may apply to the American Arbitration Association for such appointment. In the event of the inability of any appraiser to act, a new appraiser shall be appointed in his place within five (5) days, such appointment to be made in the same manner as hereinabove provided for the appointment of the appraiser who is being replaced.

(c) The Appraiser or the appraisers shall complete the appraisal within thirty (30) days of the selection of the last of them to be appointed, and the appraised fair market value (consistent with the valuation principles set forth in Section 6.3(a) above) shall be (i) the value determined by the Appraiser; or (ii) the value determined by the sole appraiser if no second appraiser was appointed or if the second appraiser fails to act; or (iii) if three appraisers are appointed, the value determined by a majority of the appraisers; provided, however, that if a majority of the appraisers are unable to set the value within the stipulated period of time, each of the appraisers shall make his own appraisal and the value shall be determined as follows: (x) if the low appraisal is less than ten percent (10%) lower than the middle appraisal and the high appraisal is less than ten percent (10%) higher than the middle appraisal, the appraised value shall equal the average of the values determined by the three appraisals; (y) if the low appraisal is more than ten percent (10%) lower than the middle appraisal and the high appraisal is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the middle appraisal, the low and the high appraisals shall be disregarded and the middle appraisal shall be the appraised value; or (z) if only one appraisal is more than ten percent (10%) higher or lower than the middle appraisal, such appraisal shall be disregarded and the appraised value shall equal the average of the values determined by the remaining two appraisals.

(d) Both Parties hereby agree to make available to any Appraiser all of the books and records of ABI, Screening and the Company and such other information as such Appraiser shall reasonably request in order to make any fair market value determinations hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the expenses of any appraisal conducted in accordance with this Section 6.3 shall be borne, as to each Appraiser, by the Party appointing such Appraiser, except that if the single Appraiser is agreed upon, or if there be three Appraisers, the expenses of such Appraiser or third Appraiser shall be borne and paid equally by INTX and CRG.

6.4 Rights of First Refusal.

(a) Subject to Section 11.6 of the LLC Agreement and as provided in Section 6.1, neither Party shall Transfer any of such Party’s Units of the Company for a period of five (5) years from the date of Closing. Thereafter, neither Party may Transfer such Units unless such Party has received a bona fide written offer from a prospective third-party purchaser (a “Third Party”) to purchase such Units (a

“Third Party Offer”) and has first offered such Units to the other Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4.

(b) If a Party has received a Third Party Offer for any or all of such Party’s Units, before accepting such offer, such Party (hereinafter referred to as the “Selling Party”) shall first offer such Units proposed to be transferred to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this Agreement. Such offer shall be made by a written offer notice (the “Offer Notice”), which shall be accompanied by a copy of the Third Party Offer. The Receiving Party shall have ninety (90) days after the receipt of the Offer Notice within which to elect to purchase any or all of the Units so offered. In the event that the Receiving Party shall elect to make such purchase, the purchase price for such Units shall be the same as, and on the same terms and conditions as, the Third Party Offer (or if the Third Party Offer provides for consideration not practically attainable by the Receiving Party, then for consideration and upon the terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those provided in the Third Party Offer). Such election shall be made by a written notice of election given to the Selling Party and shall specify the number of Units the Receiving Party desires to purchase. In such notice of election, the Receiving Party shall fix a closing date for the purchase which shall be not more than ninety (90) days after the expiration of such initial 90-day period (the “closing date”).

(c) If the Receiving Party shall fail to notify the Selling Party of its election to purchase such Units so offered within such 90-day period, or shall elect to purchase less than all of the Units so offered, or shall fail to complete the purchase of such Units on the closing date, then in any such event the Selling Party shall be free for a period of ninety (90) days after the last date for such election, or after the date on which the closing of the purchase does not occur, to sell such unpurchased Units to the Third Party for a price and on other terms and conditions no more favorable to such Third Party than were available to the Receiving Party hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of any such sale, such Units so sold to the Third Party shall be subject to this Agreement and the LLC Agreement and, as a condition of the validity of such sale, the Third Party shall be required to join in and execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement as an additional party hereto. If such unpurchased Units are not so sold by the Selling Party within such ninety (90) day period, all rights of the Selling Party to transfer such shares to the Third Party pursuant to the Third Party Offer (and free from the foregoing restrictions) shall thereupon terminate.

(d) On the specified closing date, the Selling Party shall deliver to the Receiving Party the certificate or certificates evidencing the Units which the Receiving Party elected to purchase, properly endorsed for transfer, and bearing any necessary documentary stamps and accompanied by such certificates of authority, tax releases, consents to transfer or other instruments or evidences of title of the Selling Party as may be reasonably required by the Receiving Party, and Receiving Party shall pay to the Selling Party the purchase price (or if the consideration is not practically attainable as aforesaid, then the equivalent thereof) for the Units being purchased.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is a condition of the Third Party Offer to purchase a Selling Party’s Units that such Third Party will not purchase less than the total, or a specified minimum number of Units owned by a Selling Party at the time of the Third Party Offer, then in order to exercise the foregoing purchase right, the Receiving Party must purchase in the aggregate either (i) all of the Units offered by a Selling Party or (ii) no more than that number of Units which, when deducted from the total number of Units being offered by a Selling Party, results in the minimum number of shares specified in the Third Party Offer remaining available for purchase by such Third Party. Otherwise, the offer by a Selling Party shall be deemed to have been completely rejected by the Receiving Party.

(f) Any purported transfer or encumbrance in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual, and shall not operate to transfer any interest or title to the purported transferee.

6.5 Tag-Along Right.

(a) If at any time and from time to time where a Transfer is otherwise permitted in this Agreement, a Party desires to Transfer all or a part of its Units to a third party (the "Tag-Selling Party”), the other Party hereto shall have the right to participate in such proposed sale subject to the terms and conditions herein.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of sale setting forth the material terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer (the “Tag-Along Notice”), the Party receiving such Tag-Along Notice shall have a ninety (90) day period (the “Option Period”) in which to elect either to exercise its rights under Section 6.4 or to sell Units in the transaction by sending a notice in writing to the Selling Party during the Option Period (a “Tag-Participating Party”) advising the Tag-Selling Party of the number of Units it desires to sell in such transaction and the Tag-Participating Party shall have the right to sell, at the same price and on the same terms as the Tag-Selling Party, an amount of Units equal to the Units the third party proposes to purchase multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Units held by such Tag-Participating Party, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Units proposed to be sold by the Tag-Selling Party and the Tag-Participating Party exercising its rights under this Section 6.5.

(c) If the Tag-Participating Party does not elect to sell the full number of Units which it is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 6.5, the Tag-Selling Party shall be entitled to sell to the proposed purchaser, according to the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, that number of its own Units which equals the difference between the number of Units desired to be purchased by the proposed purchaser and the number of Units the Tag-Participating Party is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 6.5.

6.6 Drag-Along Right.

(a) Subject at all times to the provisions of Section 6.4 relating to Rights of First Refusal, in the event that the holders representing at least thirty five percent (35%) of the then-outstanding Units (the “Control Group”) wish, where a transfer is otherwise

permitted in this Agreement (and for the avoidance of doubt, not prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary hereof), to Transfer in a bona fide arm’s length sale all of the Units then owned by them to any Person who is not an Affiliate of any member of the Control Group (the “Proposed Transferee”), the Control Group shall have the right (the “Drag Along Right”) to require all of the other Unitholders to sell to the Proposed Transferee all, and not part only, of the Units then owned by such Unitholders for the same per share consideration to be received by the Control Group (such transaction referred to in this Agreement as a “Drag Along Sale”); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall not be available to any Party hereto to the extent such Party has failed to timely fund a required capital call made by the Board of Managers of the Company (subject to the Minority Protection Rights) and such funding failure shall not have been cured by the defaulting Party under the terms of the Agreement.

(b) Each Unitholder agrees with respect to all Units that he/she/it holds and any other Company securities over which such Unitholder otherwise exercises dispositive power:

(i) in the event such transaction requires the approval of Unitholders, if the matter is to be brought to a vote at a Unitholder meeting, to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of Units, at all such meetings and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings; and to vote or cause to be voted all Units in favor of such Drag Along Sale and in opposition of any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Drag Along Sale;

(ii) in the event that the Drag Along Sale is to be effected by the sale of Units held by the Control Group without the need for Unitholder approval, each Unitholder agrees to sell all Units of the Company held by such Unitholder to the Proposed Transferee, for the same per-Unit consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the Control Group;

(iii) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Drag Along Sale, provided it is conducted in accordance with this Section 6.6; and

(iv) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Drag Along Sale as shall be reasonably requested by the Company or the Control Group.

(c) If a Party to this Agreement fails or refuses to vote or sell his, her or its Units as required by, or votes his, her or its Units in contravention of this Section 6.6, then such Party hereby grants to the Chairman and Secretary of the Company an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to vote such Units in accordance with this Section 6.6, and hereby appoints the Chairman and Secretary and each of them acting singly, as his, her or its attorney in fact, to sell such Units in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.6.

(d) To exercise a Drag Along Right, the Control Group shall give each Unitholder a written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) containing (i) the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, and (ii) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment and other

material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transferee’s offer. Each Unitholder shall thereafter be obligated to sell its Units subject to such Drag Along Notice, provided that the sale to the Proposed Transferee is consummated within one hundred and eighty (180) days of delivery of the Drag Along Notice. If the sale is not consummated within such 180-day period, then each Unitholder shall no longer be obligated to sell such Unitholder’s Units pursuant to that specific Drag Along Right, but each Unitholder’s Units shall remain subject to the provisions of this Section 6.6.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 6.6, the obligation of any Unitholder to take any action whatsoever including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing (i) voting all Units held by it in favor of the Drag Along Sale; (ii) selling or transferring pursuant to such transaction all of its Units in the Company; and (iii) the timely delivery of documents and instruments as may be required by Section 6.6 shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i) The only representations, warranties or indemnities that any Unitholder shall be required to make in connection with a Drag Along Sale are representations, warranties or indemnities with respect to (i) its own ownership of the Company’s Units to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances or adverse claims; (ii) its power and authority to enter into and execute the relevant agreements; (iii) the ability to obtain the requisite consents and waivers for a proposed Drag Along Sale; and (iv)no existing or pending claims against it that would affect such Unitholder’s ability to consummate a Drag Along Sale (the “Required Obligations”). The Required Obligations shall be in the same form for all Unitholders of the Company and shall be given by each Unitholder on a several but not joint basis only. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subsection (aa) the maximum aggregate liability of any Unitholder shall be limited to the amount of consideration actually received in cleared funds by such Unitholder.

(ii) No Unitholder shall be required to agree to any covenants other than reasonable covenants regarding confidentiality, publicity and other customary post-closing covenants.

(iii) Upon the consummation of a Drag Along Sale, all of the holders of the Company’s Units will receive the same form and amount of consideration per Unit. If any Unitholders are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all Unitholders will be given the same option. In addition, no Unitholder shall be required to accept consideration in a Drag Along Sale other than cash and/or freely-tradeable equity securities (if US securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) listed on the New York or American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market, or the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, or other internationally recognized stock exchange.

(iv) No Unitholder shall be obligated to incur any out of pocket expenditure prior to the completion of the Drag Along Sale and shall not be obligated to pay any expenses incurred in connection with a Drag Along Sale, except its pro rata share of costs reasonably incurred for the benefit of all of the Unitholders.
