(d) Upon the LP Unit Sale Date, the number of outstanding Common Units of the Company plus the number of outstanding shares of the Public Company Common Stock shall equal the number of outstanding LP Units of the Limited Partnership. It is the intent of the Members that this relationship remain constant throughout the term of the Company. In the case of any redemption of Common Units by the Company as authorized by Section 7.6, it is intended that the redemption purchase price be provided to the Company through the transfer of a corresponding number of LP Units to the Public Company in exchange for shares of Public Company Common Stock that will be distributed to the redeeming Member in cancellation of the Common Units so redeemed. Other adjustments to the number of Common Units outstanding may be made from time to time as determined by the Executive Committee to be necessary to properly reflect the relative interests of the Members.

Section 3.3. Interests Not Certificated. Unless otherwise determined by the Executive Committee, the Members’ interests and the Units representing the same shall be documented and recorded solely by an entry on the Company’s books.

Section 3.4. No Interest. No Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on its Capital Contributions.

Section 3.5. Return of Capital Contributions. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 7.6): no Member shall have the right to withdraw any Capital Contributions or to demand and receive property of the Company; no Member shall have the right to any distribution in return for its Capital Contribution; and no Member shall be entitled to receive out of Company property any part of its Capital Contribution until all liabilities of the Company have been paid or provided for.

Section 4.5. Members Are Not Agents. Pursuant to Section 5.1, the management of the Company is vested in the Executive Committee.

Section 4.6. Voting Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Act, no Member, acting solely in the capacity of a Member, shall take part in or interfere in any manner whatsoever with the management, conduct or control of the business or affairs of the Company; provided, however, that Members shall have the right to vote on, consent or disapprove matters to the limited extent specifically provided for in this Agreement or as expressly required by the Act.

Section 4.7. Approval by Members. Except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, in all matters in which a vote, approval or consent of the Members is required, a vote, consent or approval of Members holding a Majority-in-Interest shall be sufficient to authorize or approve such act.

(a) Date, Time and Place of Meetings of Members. Meetings of Members shall be held when called by the Executive Committee, including upon demand of Members in accordance with Section 4.8(b), at such date, time and place within or outside the State of Delaware as the Executive Committee may fix from time to time. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than two (2) nor more than thirty (30) days before the date of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at such meeting.

All such consents shall be filed with the Executive Committee or the secretary, if any, of the Company and shall be maintained in the Company records. Any Member giving a written consent, or the Member’s proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Executive Committee or secretary, if any, of the Company before written consents of the number of votes required to authorize the proposed action have been filed. Unless the consents of all Members entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, (i) notice of any Member approval of an amendment to the Certificate or this Agreement, a dissolution of the Company, a merger of the Company or any other action that adversely affects the Members, without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval, and (ii) prompt notice shall be given of the taking of any other action approved by Members without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, to those Members entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.

(d) Proxies. Every Member entitled to vote on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the Person and filed with the Executive Committee or the secretary, if any, of the Company. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the Member’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission, electronic transmission or otherwise) by the

Member or the Member’s attorney-in-fact. A proxy may be transmitted by an oral telephonic transmission if it is submitted with information from which it may be determined that the proxy was authorized by the Member or the Member’s attorney-in-fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the Person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the Company stating that the proxy is revoked, or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the Person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the Company before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of DGCL Section 212.

(e) Record Date. The record date for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to notice of a Member’s meeting, for demanding a special meeting, for voting, or for taking any other action shall be the twentieth (20th) day prior to the date of the meeting or other action.

Section 7.3. Right of First Refusal. Each time a Member proposes to transfer Membership Units to one or more of the remaining Members (other than an Investor Member Permitted Transfer), such Member shall first offer such Membership Units to the remaining Members (exclusive of the Investor Member) who are then holding Common Units (the “Optionees”) as a group in accordance with the following provisions:

(b) The Company shall deliver the Option Notice to the Optionees, who shall have the right to purchase the Membership Units described therein, and the transferring Member may transfer the Membership Units described in the Option Notice to the Optionees who elect to exercise their right of purchase in proportion to their respective Common Units, or otherwise as they may agree with the consent of the Executive Committee and to the extent any such Optionee elects not to exercise his or her full right of purchase. Any such transfer (i) shall be completed within thirty (30) days after the Company’s delivery of the Option Notice to the Optionees, (ii) shall be made on terms no more favorable to any Optionee than offered to the Optionees as a group, and (iii) shall comply with Sections 7.1 and 7.2. If such Membership Units are not so transferred, the transferring Member must give notice in accordance with this Section 7.3 prior to any other or subsequent transfer of such Membership Units.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(b), to the extent of cash available to the Company for such purpose and as determined by the Executive Committee, the Company may exercise the purchase right of the Optionees on their behalf and, in such case, shall immediately register the Membership Units so purchased in the names of the Optionees. In any such case, no Optionee shall have the right not to participate in such purchase, and the Company shall distribute (or be deemed to distribute) the Membership Units acquired among the Optionees in accordance with their interests.

Section 7.4. Substitution of Members. A transferee of any Membership Unit shall have the right to become a substitute Member only if (i) the requirements of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 relating to consent of the Executive Committee, securities law and tax law requirements hereof are met (ii) such Person executes an instrument satisfactory to the Executive Committee accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) such person pays any reasonable expenses in connection with its admission as a new Member.

Section 7.6. Members’ Right of Redemption of Common Units.

(a) Each Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell, and the Company shall be obligated to redeem such Member’s Common Units at the Redemption Price (the “Redemption Right”). To exercise the Redemption Right, the Member must give written notice thereof to the Company (the “Redemption Notice”). The Redemption Notice shall (i) be signed by the Member (or the Member’s permitted transferee) or, if applicable, an authorized officer thereof, (ii) set forth the Member’s intent to exercise the Redemption Right and state the total number of Common Units to be sold to and redeemed by the Company pursuant to the Redemption Right, (iii) include such other provisions and representations as the Company may from time to time reasonably require, and (iv) be mailed or delivered in accordance with Section 14.12 of the Agreement. Once given, the Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable by the Member.

(b) For each Member, other than the Investor Members, Redemption Notices may be given to the Company with respect to a percentage of the Common Units owned as of the date hereof in accordance with the following schedule:

(i) Commencing on the fourteen month anniversary of the Offering Date, 32.5% (less the percentage of such Member’s Common Units redeemed with Cash Proceeds);

(ii) Commencing on the second anniversary of the Offering Date, 55% (less the percentage of such Member’s Common Units previously redeemed);

(iii) Commencing on the third anniversary of the Offering Date, 77.5% (less the percentage of such Member’s Common Units previously redeemed); and

(iv) Commencing on the fourth anniversary of the Offering Date, 100% (less the percentage of such Member’s Common Units previously redeemed).

The Company shall provide each Member with a written schedule reflecting the number of such Member’s Common Units that will become redeemable on each anniversary of the Offering Date. Further, the Company and the Public Company may establish reasonable procedures to assure that the exercise and implementation of the redemption rights do not become inordinately burdensome for the Public Company from an administrative perspective while at the same time preserving the benefits to the Members of the redemption rights granted hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall have the right to exercise a Redemption Right prior to the expiration of at least six months following such Members admission to the Company (or ICG LLC, as predecessor to the Company).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Investor Member shall have the right at any time from and after the six month anniversary of the Offering Date to deliver a Redemption Notice to the Company with respect to any or all of its Common Units.

Upon receipt of such shares of Public Company Common Stock, the Company shall distribute such shares to the redeeming Member who has delivered such Redemption Notice in complete redemption of the Common Units subject of the Redemption Notice.

(f) Tax Benefit Units shall be issued to any redeeming Member whose redemption has resulted in the Company’s exchanging LP Units for Public Company Common Stock and becoming entitled to Tax Benefit Payments under the terms of the Exchange Agreement and Tax Receivable Agreement.

(i) During the term of such Employee Member’s employment with the Limited Partnership or its Affiliates or during the term of service on the Executive Committee, as applicable, and for two (2) years thereafter, request, induce or attempt to influence any Person who is a client of or supplier to the Limited Partnership or any of its Affiliates to limit, curtail or cancel its business with the Limited Partnership or any of its Affiliates; and, for purposes hereof, a “client” shall include any Person who has been solicited by the Limited Partnership or any of its Affiliates to become a client during the 6 month period prior to such termination of

employment or service on the Executive Committee whether or not such Person has signed an engagement agreement with the Limited Partnership or any of its Affiliates;

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Investor Members are permitted hereunder to own, manage, control or participate in businesses that compete with the Limited Partnership.

Section 13.2. Certain Consequences of Breach. In the event that the Executive Committee (or, in the case of a member of the Executive Committee, a majority of the independent directors of the board of directors of the Public Company) determines, in their sole discretion, that any Employee Member or member of the Executive Committee has breached any provision of Sections 12.1, 12.2 or 13.1, such Employee Member or member of the Executive Committee, upon delivery of notice of such determination by the Executive Committee or the Public Company on behalf of the Executive Committee in accordance with Section 14.11, (i) shall immediately resign as a Member of the Limited Partnership, if applicable, (ii) shall immediately resign as a member of the Executive Committee, if applicable, (iii) shall immediately resign all positions and offices with the Limited Partnership and its Affiliates and the Company held by such Member or member of the Executive Committee, (iv) shall return to an officer or representative of the Public Company all confidential or proprietary information of the Limited Partnership and its Affiliates and the Company, in whatever form, and (v) sign and deliver to a representative of the Public Company a certificate confirming that such Member or member of the Executive Committee has delivered to a representative of the Public Company all confidential or proprietary information of the Limited Partnership and its Affiliates and the Company.

(a) Each Member and each member of the Executive Committee agree that the Company and the Public Company have no adequate remedy at law for any breach or threatened or attempted breach of the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 13.1; and, accordingly, each Member and each member of the Executive Committee also agree that the Company and the Public Company may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to them under this Agreement or at law, commence proceedings in equity for an injunction temporarily or permanently enjoining the Member or member of the Executive Committee, as applicable, from breaching or threatening or attempting any such breach of such covenants and agreements; and for purposes of any such proceeding in equity, it shall be presumed that the remedies at law available to the Company and the Public Company would be inadequate and that they would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the violation of any provision hereof by the Member or member of the Executive Committee, as applicable.

(b) In addition to any other remedy available to the Company and the Public Company at law or in equity, upon a breach by an Employee Member (and, in the case of a Tenured Employee Member, whether or not still employed) of any covenant contained in Section 13.1, it is acknowledged that the Purchasing Members shall purchase any Buy/Sell Units of such Employee Member, his legal representative and permitted transferees in accordance with Article VIII.

(c) In the case of any proceeding commenced in respect of Section 13.1, each party to such proceeding shall bear its own fees, costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with such proceeding and any appeals therefrom.

Section 13.4. Reduction of Scope. Each Employee Member and each member of the Executive Committee agree that if the scope of the covenant set forth in Section 13.1 is deemed by any court to be overly broad, the court may reduce the scope hereof to that which it deems reasonable under the circumstances. If any one or more provisions of Section 13.1 are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

Section 13.5. Independent Obligations. Each Employee Member and each member of the Executive Committee agree that the covenants and agreements of such Member or member of the Executive Committee, as applicable, set forth in Section 13.1 are independent of all other covenants, representations, warranties and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and no default, breach or failure to perform by any party to the Agreement shall constitute an excuse or other justification for the Employee Member or member of the Executive Committee, as applicable, to fail to observe fully its covenants and agreements under Section 13.1. No course of dealing between the Company, the Limited Partnership and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Employee Member or member of the Executive Committee, as applicable, on the

other hand, and no delay by the Company or the Public Company in exercising any right, power or remedy under Section 13.1, in equity or at law, shall constitute a waiver of, or otherwise prejudice, any such right, power or remedy.
