EXHIBIT 10.3 




FORM OF CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT




          THIS
CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of
                    ,
2008 by and between Turner
Investment Partners, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
(“TIP”), and Turner Investment Partners, LLC,
a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“OpCo”).




WITNESSETH:




          WHEREAS, TIP desires to contribute to OpCo, and OpCo desires to receive from TIP,
substantially all of the assets, properties, rights and interests of TIP, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein; and




          WHEREAS, OpCo desires to assume from TIP, and TIP desires to transfer to OpCo, all of the
obligations and liabilities of TIP upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.




          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, OpCo and TIP hereby agree as follows:




     1. Contribution of Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, at the time of the closing (the “Effective Time”) of the initial public offering of
shares of Class A common stock of Turner Investments, Inc. (the “IPO”), TIP shall contribute to
OpCo, and OpCo shall receive from TIP, all of the right, title and interest of TIP in and to all of
the assets, properties, rights and interests of every kind and description and wherever located,
whether real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible, that are owned, contracted, leased or
licensed by TIP, except for the Excluded Assets (as defined on Schedule 1 hereto) (the “Contributed
Assets”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent that the contribution of any
Contributed Asset to OpCo is not permitted as a matter of law or without the consent of a third
party, and the requisite governmental authorization or third-party consent has not been obtained
prior to the Effective Time, such Contributed Asset shall be contributed to OpCo only if and when
the requisite authorization or consent is received. TIP and OpCo shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any such authorization or consent, and they shall cooperate in any
lawful arrangement designed to provide OpCo the practicable benefits and burdens under such
Contributed Asset as if it had been contributed.



     2. Assumption of Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, and concurrent with the transactions described in Section 1, OpCo shall assume all of
the obligations and liabilities of TIP, except for (i) liabilities for offering expenses incurred
in connection with the IPO and (ii) liabilities exclusively arising out of or relating to the
Excluded Assets (the “Assumed Liabilities”).



     3. Employee Matters. OpCo covenants and agrees to meet the requirements of the
Alternate Procedure set forth in Section 5 of IRS Rev. Proc. 2004-53 and TIP covenants and agrees
to timely provide OpCo sufficient information to meet such requirements



 









 




including, but not limited to, enabling OpCo to issue Forms W-2, for each applicable employee,
in a timely manner.




     4. Membership Interests. The aggregate consideration to be received by TIP in exchange
for the transfer of the Contributed Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities shall be 31,065,103 membership
units in OpCo with an agreed value of $                    , having the rights and preferences set forth in the
Operating Agreement of OpCo, dated as of
                    ,
2008.



     5. Further Assurances. Each party hereto covenants and agrees to take any and all such
further action and to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, documents and
agreements as the other party hereto may reasonably request to effectuate, consummate or confirm
the transactions contemplated hereby.



     6. Successors and Assigns. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of OpCo and TIP.



     7. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal
or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible
in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.



     8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of law principles
thereof.



     9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile
transmission or as a “pdf” or similar attachment to an electronic transmission) in one or more
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.
