(the "Effective Date"), by and between Active IQ Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation ("AIQ"), and Hawk Precious Minerals USA, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation ("Hawk Sub") (collectively with any future undersigned parties to
this Agreement, the "Members") with respect to Active Hawk Minerals, LLC, a

                                  INTRODUCTION

Agreement.

         B. The Members constitute all of the original members of the Company
and wish to combine their respective business operations into a joint venture to
be conducted in the form of the Company; and to that end the Members have
executed and delivered a Joint Venture and Joint Contribution Agreement dated
June 26, 2003 (the "Joint Venture and Joint Contribution Agreement") describing
the respective capital contributions of the Members to the Company, a copy of
which Joint Contribution Agreement is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.

         C. Section 322B.37 of the LLC Act authorizes a member control agreement

reference the Appendix of General Definitions and Income Tax Appendix attached
hereto.



                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing facts which are
hereby made a part of this Agreement, the mutual promises of the Members and the
mutual benefits to be gained by the performance of this Agreement, the Members,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1
                     FORMATION OF LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

         1.1 Formation and Term. On June 24, 2003 (the "Formation Date"), the
Company was formed as a limited liability company under the provisions of the
LLC Act. The Members hereby adopt and approve the Company's Articles as filed in
the office of the Minnesota Secretary of State on the Formation Date. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Articles and the Company's bylaws (the
"Bylaws"), the rights and liabilities of the Members shall be as provided in the
LLC Act. The Company shall exist perpetually unless dissolved upon a Liquidating
Event as provided in Section 10.1.

         1.2 Name. The Company's business shall be conducted under the name of
"Active Hawk Minerals, LLC" or such other name as the Board may designate.


<PAGE>


         1.3 Place of Business and Agent for Process. The Board may from time to
time change the location of the Company's principal office. In addition, the
Board may in its discretion establish additional places of business of the
Company. The name and address of the agent for service of process is as set
forth in the Articles.

         1.4 Purpose. The Company has been formed for the purpose of obtaining
and holding certain rights with respect to certain lands located in the Republic
of South Africa pursuant to those certain Heads of Agreement by and among Hawk
Sub, Kwagga Gold (Proprietary) Limited, and AfriOre International (Barbados)
Limited ("AfriOre"), dated June 4, 2003 (the "Kwagga Agreement"); including the
right to fund and participate in all operations conducted on such lands for the
purpose of exploring for and exploiting base and/or precious metals discovered
therein, if any (such purpose shall be hereinafter referred to as the
"Project"). As of the Effective Date, the Company shall be the sole owner (other
than Kwagga and AfriOre) of all rights in, to and under the Kwagga Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 2
                             MEMBERS AND NEW MEMBERS

         2.1 Members. The names and addresses of the Members shall be set forth
Exhibit A hereby made a part of this Agreement, as amended from to time pursuant
hereto. For all purposes of this Agreement, the terms "Member" or "Members"
means the Persons initially signing this Agreement as members of the Company
under the LLC Act, in their capacity as members, and each other Person who shall
hereafter be admitted to the Company as a Member pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

         2.2 Terms of Membership Interests. Membership Interests in the Company
are denominated "Units." The Company's Units shall have the rights provided by
this Agreement, subject to any limitations in the Articles or the LLC Act. Each
Member's Original Capital Contribution (as defined in Section 3.1(d)) and number
and type of Units held shall be set forth in Exhibit A, as amended from time to
time pursuant hereto.

         A Member's right to vote is a Governance Right. Each Member shall be
entitled to one (1) vote on all Company matters for each Unit owned. Unless a
higher threshold is specified in any provision of this Agreement or in the LLC
Act, all actions to be taken or approved by the Members (either pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise) shall be taken or approved upon the unanimous vote of
the Members holding issued and outstanding Units entitled to vote. As of the
Effective Date, all Units have voting rights.

         Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, all Units shall
have equal Financial Rights and Governance Rights. Upon approval of the Members,
the Board may establish one or more additional types, classes or series of Units
having either Governance Rights or Financial Rights (or both) that are
different, limited or preferred, as compared with the original Units authorized
as of the Effective Date. If any such new type, class or series of Units is
issued, this Agreement shall be amended to state the rights of such Units
without further approval of the Members, or the Company's Officers may certify
an addendum to this Agreement setting forth the relative rights, preferences and
privileges of any new type, class or series of Unit.

         2.3 Additional Members. Additional Members may be admitted to the
Company by issuing additional Units of a type, class or series authorized by
this Agreement only upon such terms and conditions as may be established and
approved by the Board and the Members. Upon any such consent and issuance of
additional Units, Exhibit A shall be appropriately amended. Nothing in this
Section 2.3 shall be construed to limit the meaning and effect of Article 7 and
Article 8 with respect to the Transfer of Units by Members and the addition of
Members pursuant to such Transfers.

         shall not be required to lend any funds to the Company or, after the
         Member's Original Capital Contribution has been made, to make any
         Additional Capital Contributions to the Company.

                  (d) A Member with a deficit balance in his, her or its Capital
         Account after the distribution of liquidation proceeds under Article 10
         shall not be required to contribute the amount of such deficit to the
         Company.

         3.6 Default by Member. Except with respect to an Original Capital
Contribution by a Member or any installment thereof (which case is governed by
Section 3.7 below), in the event that a Member fails to make any payment, or any
installment thereof, when due, of any Capital Contribution or other obligation
hereunder or under a Contribution Agreement, the Board may enforce such
obligation in such manner as may be permitted by law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Board may, in its discretion:

                  (a) bring an action at law or in equity to enforce such
         obligation;

                  (b) assess interest on the unpaid amount at the highest rate
         of interest then being charged to the Company by any lender or allowed
         by state law; and/or

                  (c) if the unpaid obligation is a required Capital
         Contribution, require the defaulting Member to unconditionally and
         irrevocably assign to the remaining Members that portion of the
         defaulting Member's Units which bears the same ratio to all of such
         defaulting Member's Units of the class of Units to which such Capital
         Contribution relates as the remaining amount of such defaulting
         Member's unpaid contributions, whether due or not yet due, bears to the
         total amount of contributions, both paid and unpaid, required to be
         made by such defaulting Member; provided, however, that such default
         shall not theretofore have been cured.

         If the Board requires assignment of all or a portion of a defaulting
Member's Units pursuant to clause (c) above, then each remaining Member of the
class of Units such Capital Contribution relates to shall have the right to
acquire the defaulting Member's Units, determined as aforesaid, in the
proportion that the number of each remaining Member's Units of the class of


                                       5

<PAGE>


Units such Capital Contribution relates to bears to the aggregate number of
Units of the class of Units such Capital Contribution relates to of the
remaining Members who desire to participate in such purchase, by paying the
Company a cash amount equal to such proportion of the unpaid Capital
Contributions.

         3.7 Default in Original Capital Contribution of Active IQ. The parties
acknowledge that Active IQ is making its Original Capital Contribution in cash
installments occurring on the Effective Date, the Second Funding Date and the
Third Funding Date in order that the Company may fund the operations of the
Project pursuant to the timelines set forth in the Kwagga Agreement.
Accordingly, if Active IQ defaults in any planned installment of the Original
Capital Contribution described in Section 3.3, then (as the Company's sole and
exclusive remedy), upon the expiration of the seventh (7th) day following Active
IQ's receipt of a written notice from Kwagga or Hawk indicating that the due
date for any "Advance" (as such term is defined in the Kwagga Agreement) not yet
made has passed and that Active IQ has seven (7) days to make such Advance,
Active IQ shall, if it has not theretofore provided the funds described in the
Second Funding or Third Funding to the Company or to Kwagga (as the Members may
mutually determine a reasonable amount of time prior to the Second Funding Date
and/or Third Funding Date, as applicable), immediately forfeit all of its Units
to Hawk and such Units shall be deemed automatically assigned to Hawk for an
aggregate purchase price of One Dollar and No/100 ($1.00).

         3.8 Transferee Succeeds to Transferor's Capital Account. If any Member
Transfers all or a part of his, her or its Financial Rights in the Company,
whether or not such Transfer is permitted under Article 8, any transferee from
the Member shall succeed to the Capital Account (including any remaining Capital
Contributions) of the transferor Member to the extent of the Interest
Transferred, in accordance with Regulations ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(1).

         3.9 Loans to Company. If authorized by the Board, a Member may lend
money to the Company from time to time, in excess of the Member's Capital
Contributions; provided, however, that no such loan may be treated as a Capital
Contribution for any purpose or entitle such Member to any increase in the
Member's Units or share of the Profits, Losses, deductions, credits or
Distributions of the Company. The Company shall be obligated to such Member for
the amount of any such loan, with interest thereon at such rate as may have been
agreed upon by such Member and the Board.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                          ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

         4.1 Definitions of Profits and Losses. "Profits" and "Losses,"
respectively, shall mean, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the Company's
taxable income or loss (as the case may be) for such Fiscal Year, determined in
accordance with Code ss. 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain,
loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code ss.
703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss) with the following
adjustments:

                  (a) any income of the Company that is exempt from federal
         income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or
         Losses pursuant to this Section 0 shall be added to such taxable income
         or loss;

                  (b) any nondeductible expenditures of the Company described in
         Code ss. 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code ss. 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures
         pursuant to Regulations ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise
         taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this
         Section 4.1, shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss;


                                       6

<PAGE>


                  (c) in the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is
         adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 3(c) of the Income Tax
         Appendix, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as
         gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of
         computing Profits or Losses;

                  (d) gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company
         Property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal
         income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset
         Value of the Company Property disposed of, notwithstanding that the
         adjusted tax basis of such Company Property differs from its Gross
         Asset Value;

                  (e) in lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other
         cost-recovery deductions taken into account when computing such taxable
         income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such
         Fiscal Year, computed in accordance with Section 2 of the Income Tax
         Appendix;

                  (f) to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of
         any Company Property pursuant to Code ss. 734(b) or Code ss. 743(b) is
         required pursuant to Regulations ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be
         taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a
         Distribution other than in liquidation of a Member's Interest, the
         amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
         adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
         decreases the basis of the asset) from the disposition of the asset and
         shall be taken into account for purposes of computing Profits or
         Losses; and

                  (g) notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.1,
         any items that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 4 or Section
         5 of the Income Tax Appendix shall not be taken into account in
         computing Profits or Losses.

         The amounts of the items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction
available to be specially allocated pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of the Income
Tax Appendix shall be determined by applying rules analogous to those set forth
in Sections 4.1(a) through 4.1(f) above.

         4.2 Allocation of Profits. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of the Income Tax Appendix, Company
Profits for each Fiscal Year for book purposes, whether taxable or nontaxable,
shall be allocated to the Members and their Capital Accounts shall be
appropriately increased ratably in proportion to their respective Units.

         4.3 Allocation of Losses. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of the Income Tax Appendix, Company
Losses, deductions and credits for each Fiscal Year for book purposes, whether
taxable or nontaxable, shall be allocated to the Members and their Capital
Accounts shall be appropriately decreased ratably in proportion to their
respective Units.

         4.4 Proration of Allocations. All Profits, Losses, deductions and
credits for a Fiscal Year allocable with respect to any Member whose Interest
may have been Transferred, forfeited, reduced or changed during such year shall
be allocated based upon the varying Interests of the Members throughout the
year. The precise manner in which such allocation shall be made shall be
determined by the Board and shall be a manner of allocation permitted to be used
for federal income tax purposes under the Code.

         4.5 Distributions of Net Cash From Operations. Except for a cash
reserve determined by the Board in its sole discretion, Distributions of Net
Cash from Operations for each Fiscal Year shall be made from time to time, but


                                       7

<PAGE>


no less frequently than annually, first to the Members in an amount equal to the
Estimated Member Tax Liability for each such Member; and thereafter, to the
Members in proportion to their respective Units.

         4.6 Other Cash Distributions. Distribution of any net proceeds upon the
sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all Company Property
shall be made in accordance with Section 10.3.

otherwise terminated. The right of the initial Members to remove and replace
Directors from the Board is a Governance Right and is transferable only to the
extent permitted under Article 7.

liability as a general partner or otherwise in any jurisdiction; (f) selling,
exchanging or otherwise disposing any of the Company's assets (other than cash);

(g) allowing a merger or reorganization of the Company with any other entity; or
(h) taking any action that, in the prudent exercise of business discretion,

the assets or operations thereof.

         All actions described in this Section 5.5 shall require the unanimous
approval of the Members.

         5.6 Obligations of the Board. In addition to the obligations expressly
provided by law or this Agreement, the Board, to the extent of Company assets,

respective Affiliates may deal with, perform other services for and sell goods
or services to the Company without limitation; provided, however, that any
compensation for such services or goods shall be limited to amounts and rates
customary in the industry. The fact that a Member, Director, Officer or any of
their respective Affiliates is employed by, or is directly or indirectly
interested in or connected with any Person from whom or which the Company may
buy services, merchandise or other property shall not prohibit the Directors or
Officers from employing such Person or from otherwise dealing with such Person.

         5.9 Independent Activities. Except for business opportunities (i)
arising solely by virtue of a Member's, Director's, Officer's respective role(s)
with the Company and (ii) within the purposes of the Company as set forth in
Section 1.4, any Member, Director, Officer or their respective Affiliates may,
during the term of this Agreement, engage in, possess and acquire interests for
their own accounts in other business ventures of every nature and description,
independently or with others; and neither the Company nor any Member, by virtue
of this Agreement shall have any right in and to such independent venture or any
income or profit derived therefrom, nor shall any such independent venture be
considered a Company opportunity under this Agreement. Furthermore, the Members
hereby agree to execute and deliver reasonably requested waivers, consents or
ratifications to any of the foregoing Persons upon the undertaking of any
activity not constituting a Company opportunity as described above.

Directors and Officers against any loss, claim or liability incurred by any of
them in connection with the business of the Company; provided, however, that the
Person to be indemnified acted in good faith and was not grossly negligent or
guilty of willful misconduct. Any amount paid to indemnify a Person, however,
shall be paid out of Company assets only, and Members shall not be liable for
such amount to be paid to indemnify a Person except to the extent of any amount
of the Capital Contribution of a Member that is due and owing to the Company and
remains unpaid. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any claim against
the Directors or Officers based upon or arising out of any act or omission of
the Directors or Officers; provided, however, that such Officer or Director
acted in good faith and was not grossly negligent or guilty of willful
misconduct.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10, nothing
herein shall be deemed to conflict with the provisions of Article 7 of the Joint
Venture and Joint Contribution Agreement. In any case where Article 7 of the
Joint Venture and Joint Contribution Agreement conflicts with any provisions set
forth herein or in any other agreement related to the conduct of the Company's
business or operations, specifically including the Bylaws, the provisions of
Article 7 of the Joint Venture and Joint Contribution Agreement shall control.

         5.11 Liability Under Other Agreements. Except to the extent
specifically provided herein, the obligations of the Members, Officers, and
Directors or their Affiliates, pursuant to any agreement or contract entered
into in their personal capacity with the Company (whether or not such agreements
are referred to herein) shall be separate and distinct from their obligations
hereunder and any default or failure of performance with respect to such
separate agreements or contracts, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement,
shall have the consequences provided for in such separate agreements or
contracts or by applicable law and shall not constitute a breach hereunder.

                                    ARTICLE 6

Members' equity and changes in financial position, of cash flow and of the

preparation of such Person's federal, state and local income tax (or
informational) returns, including a statement showing such Person's share of

appropriate records of the Company shall be noted to prevent the Transfer of
Units except in accordance with this Article 7 and Article 8.

         7.2 Permitted Transfers. The following Transfers are permitted (each a
"Permitted Transfer"); provided, however, that any such Transfer and the parties
thereto comply with all of the applicable conditions pertaining to Permitted
Transfers under this Article 7 and under Article 8:

                  (a) Any Member may Transfer his, her or its Units upon the
         exercise of any right of first refusal described in Sections 8.4 or
         8.5;

                  (b) Any Member may Transfer its Units with the unanimous
         written consent of the Members, which consent may be withheld or
         conditioned in the sole discretion of such Members;

         the Active IQ Buyout Option described in Section 8.7; or

                  (d) All of Active IQ's Units may be forfeited and Transferred
         to Hawk upon default in the making of the Original Capital Contribution
         or any installment thereof, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.7.

         7.3 Conditions to Permitted Transfers. Any Permitted Transfer of Units
pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall be effective only if each of the following
conditions is satisfied:

                  (a) Governance Rights. If the Transfer will include any
         Governance Rights, the transferring Member shall Transfer all such
         Governance Rights coupled with a simultaneous Transfer to the same
         transferee of all of the Member's Financial Rights relating to such
         Units.

                  (b) Investment Representations. In the case of any Transfer
         for value, then either the transferor or the proposed transferee shall
         provide the following documentation to the Board: (i) an opinion of
         counsel (whose fees and expenses shall be borne by such Member or
         transferee), satisfactory in form and substance to the Board, to the
         effect that either (A) the Transfer constitutes an exempt transaction
         and does not require registration under applicable securities laws, or
         (B) the Units to be Transferred are duly and properly registered under
         all applicable securities laws; (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Board
         of the transferee's agreement to comply with and be bound by the terms
         of this Agreement and to execute any and all documents that the Board
         may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with his, her or its
         becoming a Member; (iii) evidence satisfactory to the Board that the


                                       11

<PAGE>

         Transfer will not impair the ability of the Company to be taxed as a
         partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Code or to take
         advantage of accelerated depreciation under the Code; (iv)
         representations in form and substance satisfactory to the Board that
         the transferee is acquiring the Units for his, her or its own account
         for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and (v)
         a written agreement signed by the transferee that the Units being
         acquired will in no event be resold unless properly registered under
         all applicable securities laws or exempt therefrom.

                  (c) Other Documents and Expenses. As a condition to admission
         as a Member, any transferee of all or part of the Units of any Member,
         or the legatee or distributee of all or any part of the Units of any
         Member, shall execute and acknowledge such instruments, in form and
         substance satisfactory to the Board, as the Board shall deem necessary
         or advisable to effect such admission and to confirm the agreement of
         the person being admitted to be bound by all the terms and provisions
         of this Agreement. Such transferee, legatee or distributee shall also
         pay all reasonable expenses in connection with such admission as a
         Member, including but not limited to legal fees and costs of the
         preparation of any amendment to this Member Control Agreement, if
         necessary or desirable in connection therewith.

                  (d) Effective Date of Transfer. All Transfers of Units
         occurring during any month shall be deemed effected on the first day of
         the month next following the month in which the Transfer occurs.

         7.4 Acquit Company. In the absence of written notice to the Company of
any Transfer of Units, any payment by the Company to the transferring Member or
his or its executors, administrators or representatives shall acquit the Company
of liability, to the extent of such payment, to any other Person who may have an
interest in such payment by reason of a Transfer by the Member or by reason of
such Member's death or otherwise.

         7.5 Prohibition of Involuntary Transfers. Except as otherwise required
by the LLC Act, a Member's Governance Rights shall not be subject to Involuntary
Transfer (as that term is defined in Article 8), and any attempted Involuntary
Transfer shall be void and of no effect except for a Transfer to a deceased
Member's personal representative or trustee to whom such Interest is Transferred
by operation of law or a testamentary instrument at the death of the transferor.
If such a Transfer is attempted, whether or not permitted by applicable law, the
affected portion of the Member's Interest shall thereupon be an "Affected
Interest" under this Agreement and be subject to the options and rights of first
refusal set forth in Article 8.

         If all or any portion of a Member's Financial Rights are the subject of
a Foreclosure of a Pledge or Involuntary Transfer (as those terms are defined in
Article 8), or if the Member becomes Insolvent (as that term is defined in
Article 8), the affected portion of the Member's Financial Rights, together with
the associated Governance Rights, if any, shall thereupon be an "Affected
Interest" under this Agreement and be subject to the options and rights of first
refusal set forth in Article 8.

         7.6 Effect of Attempts to Make Prohibited Transfers. Any purported
Transfer (of all or any portion of an Interest) that is not permitted under this
Article 7 shall be null and void and of no force or effect; provided, however,
that, if the Company is required by applicable law to recognize a Transfer that
is not so permitted (or if the Members in their sole discretion elect to
recognize a Transfer that is not so permitted), then the Transferred Interest
shall be strictly limited to the transferor's Financial Rights as provided by
this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Interest, which may be applied
(without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) to satisfy
any debts, obligations or liabilities for damages that the transferor or
transferee of such Interest may have to the Company.

         In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of an Interest that is
not permitted hereunder, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such
Transfer shall be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
other Members from all cost, liability and damage that any of such indemnified
Persons may incur (including without limitation tax liabilities, lawyers' fees
and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to
enforce the indemnity required hereby.

         7.7 Limited Rights of Unadmitted Transferees. A Person who holds merely
Financial Rights or acquires any part of an Interest other than pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer: (a) shall be subject to the restrictions of Section 7.1; (b)
shall be entitled only to allocations and Distributions with respect to such
Interest in accordance with this Agreement; (c) shall have no right to any

have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Affected Interest
of a Transferring Holder, which option and right to purchase are at the price

Company may exercise its right and option to purchase by giving notice to the
Transferring Holder and a copy to the other Members of its intention to exercise
its right and option before the expiration of said thirty (30) day period. In no
event shall the Transferring Holder vote, either as a Director or as a Member,
on the question of whether the Company will elect to exercise its option.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall not

the Company unable to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business.

         8.5 Members' Option to Purchase. If the Company does not exercise its
option to purchase as provided for in Section 8.4, then the Members (other than
the Transferring Holder, if a Member) shall have, for a period of thirty (30)

Section 8.5 by giving notice to the Transferring Holder, the other Members and
the Company of their intention to exercise their right and option within the
applicable thirty (30) day period. In the event that more than one Member elects
to purchase his, her or its proportionate part of the Affected Interest, the
electing Members shall be required to purchase that fraction of the Affected
Interest not purchased by the non-electing Members, which the respective Units
owned by each electing Member bears to the total number of Units of all such
Members electing to exercise their option.

         8.6 Failure of Company and Members to Exercise Option.

                  (a) In the case of a "Voluntary Transfer" (as defined in
         Section 8.2) that is not a Permitted Transfer, if neither the Company
         nor the Members exercise their options pursuant to Sections 8.4 or 8.5,
         respectively, in the time periods provided therein, then the

                                       15

<PAGE>


         Transferring Holder shall not be allowed to Transfer his, her or its
         Units, and such Units shall remain subject to the restrictions on
         Transfer set forth in Article 7 and this Article 8.

                  (b) In the case of all Transfers described in Section 8.2
         (other than a "Voluntary Transfer" as defined in Section 8.2) which are
         not Permitted Transfers, if neither the Company nor the Members
         exercise their options pursuant to Sections 8.4 or 8.5, respectively,
         in the time periods provided therein, then: (a) the Transferring Holder
         shall be free to retain or dispose of the Financial Rights included in
         the Affected Interest; but (b) any attempted or purported Transfer of
         any Governance Rights in violation of this Agreement shall be
         disregarded as provided in the LLC Act and Sections 7.5 and 7.6, and
         the transferee will be an unadmitted transferee as provided in Section
         7.7, unless the Members consent to such Transfer and admit the
         transferee as a new Member pursuant to Section 2.3, in which case such
         transferee must execute this Agreement.

         8.7 Active IQ Buyout Option. Active IQ shall have the right at any time
on or prior to October 6, 2003, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the
Units held by Hawk by delivering written notice to Hawk of such intention on or
prior to October 6, 2003 (the "Active IQ Buyout Option"). Upon exercise of the
Active IQ Buyout Option, all of Hawk's Financial Rights and Governance Rights
shall expire and Hawk shall promptly deliver an assignment instrument assigning
the Units to Active IQ. The purchase price for the purchase and sale of Hawk's
Units pursuant to the Active IQ Buyout Option shall be the issuance of 2,500,000
shares (as appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, combinations, or similar
events with regard to the equity securities of Active IQ) of original-issue
common stock, $0.01 par value, of Active IQ. Active IQ shall have fourteen (14)
days to deliver a certificate representing such shares of common stock to Hawk,
or to have such certificate delivered by Active IQ's transfer agent.

         Upon the purchase and sale of all of Hawk's Units pursuant to this
Section 8.7, all provisions regarding Hawk contained in this Agreement shall be
disregarded.

         8.8 Purchase Price. Except for cases covered by Section 8.7, In the
event of a purchase and sale of an Affected Interest pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement (including but not limited to a Voluntary Transfer), it is
agreed that, for the purpose of determining the purchase price, the value of the
Affected Interest shall be determined as follows:

                  (a) Agreement. The parties to any purchase and sale hereunder
         shall attempt to agree upon the Affected Interest's fair market value
         (according to the principles set forth in Section 8.8(c) below) within
         15 days of the date of notice of exercise of the applicable purchase
         option

                  (b) Appraisal. If the parties are unable to agree upon a
         valuation within the 15-day period, the Affected Interest's value shall
         be determined by appraisal as follows. The parties shall attempt to
         agree upon a qualified independent business appraiser with at least
         five years of experience appraising entities whose business and purpose
         are similar to the Company. If they are unable to do so within 15 days,
         then the purchasing party shall, within 15 days, name one such
         appraiser, and the selling party shall, within the same time period,
         name another such appraiser. The two appraisers so selected shall,
         within ten (10) days, agree upon the appointment of a third and
         independent so qualified appraiser who shall make a final determination
         of the Affected Interest's fair market value. The costs of any
         appraisals hereunder shall be borne equally between the selling party
         on the one hand, and purchasing party or parties on the other.

                  (c) Valuation Standard. For purposes of this Agreement, the
         fair market value of an Affected Interest shall be the cash price that
         would be payable to a reasonable seller by an unrelated reasonable


                                       16

<PAGE>


         buyer for said Interest, with due consideration given to the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement and all other facts and circumstances.


         8.9 Closing Date and Terms of Purchase.

                  (a) Closing Date. In the event of a sale or Transfer of an
         Affected Interest, the following provisions of this Section 8.9 shall
         apply and the sale and purchase shall close on a reasonable date, at a
         reasonable place and at a reasonable time to be selected by the
         purchasing party, which shall be no later than ninety (90) days after a
         final determination of value pursuant to Section 8.8:

                  (b) Offset of Purchase Price. The Company (or any purchasing
         Members) may offset the purchase price of an Affected Interest by the
         amounts of any debts or damages described in this Agreement, and such
         offset may be used first to reduce amounts due at closing under
         paragraph (c) below, and then the first payments due on any promissory
         note delivered under paragraph (c) below.

                  (c) Payments. Subject to paragraph (b) above, on the date of
         closing the purchasing party (i.e., the Company or one or more Members,
         in which case they shall be collectively referred to as the "purchasing
         party") shall pay to the Transferring Holder at least ten (10%) of the
         purchase price in cash at closing. The purchasing party shall execute a
         promissory note for the remaining balance of the purchase price (i.e.,
         90% or less). Any such promissory note shall be substantially in the
         form attached hereto as Exhibit E and shall require the purchasing
         party to make five (5) equal annual installments of the remaining
         amount of purchase price. All promissory notes executed and delivered
         pursuant hereto shall bear interest at a rate equal to the prime
         lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of
         closing. In the event of a purchase by more than one purchasing party,
         the purchasing parties shall execute separate notes for their
         proportionate shares of the unpaid purchase price, which notes shall be
         pursuant to the terms of and in the form of the note attached hereto as
         Exhibit E.

                  (d) Transfer and Pledge of Affected Interest. Upon delivery of
         the cash payment at closing and delivery of the installment note or
         notes specified in the preceding paragraph, the Affected Interest shall
         be assigned to the purchasing party or parties with all necessary
         instruments required to complete the Transfer of the Affected Interest
         on the Company's Required Records. Once the Affected Interest has been
         Transferred, the Affected Interest shall be pledged by the purchasing
         party or parties to the Transferring Holder, to be held as collateral
         security for the payment of said notes pursuant to the provisions of
         the Pledge Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit F), which each
         purchasing party shall execute on the date of closing. The purchasing
         party or parties shall have the right, while said pledge is effective,
         to vote any pledged Governance Rights and to receive Distributions
         (other than liquidating Distributions under Section 10.3).

                  (e) Guaranty Contribution Agreement. If a Member's Interest is
         purchased under this Article 8 and the former Member is required to pay
         a Company debt because of his guaranty of the debt, each remaining
         Member who also guaranteed the debt shall contribute toward that
         payment his respective share of such payment. The share of such payment
         due from each such remaining Member shall be that fraction of the
         payment which the number of Units held by each such remaining Member
         bears to the total number of Units owned by all such remaining Members.

         At any time, the Members holding ten percent (10%) or more of the
aggregate Units entitled to vote may propose an amendment to this Agreement, and
in such event the Chief Executive Officer shall call a special meeting of all
Members for the purpose of considering such proposed amendment. At least thirty
(30) days prior to such meeting, the Board shall deliver to each Member written
notice of the meeting and a statement of the purposes of the amendment and such
other matters as the Board deems material to consideration of the amendment. The
amendment so proposed shall be adopted if unanimously approved by Members
holding Units entitled to vote; alternatively, this Agreement may be amended by
a written action signed by Members holding all of the Units entitled to vote.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                   DISSOLUTION

         10.1 Liquidating Events.

                  (a) The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any
         of the following events (a "Liquidating Event"): (i) by the unanimous
         written agreement of the Members; or (ii) upon the vote of a majority
         of the Members entitled to vote in favor of a proposal to dissolve the
         Company, at a meeting held pursuant to Section 322B.806 of the LLC Act.

                  (b) As soon as possible following the occurrence of any
         Liquidating Event that causes the dissolution of the Company, the
         appropriate Company representative shall give all of the Members a
         written notice of such Liquidating Event and execute a notice of
         dissolution in such form as shall be prescribed by the Minnesota
         Secretary of State, setting forth the information required under
         Subdivision 1 of Section 322B.81 of the LLC Act, and shall file that
         notice with the Secretary of State's office.

                  (c) If the Company is dissolved, the Company shall cease to
         carry on its business upon filing a notice of dissolution with the
         Minnesota Secretary of State, except insofar as may be necessary for
         the winding up of the Company's business and any Distributions under
         Section 10.3, but its separate existence shall continue until a
         certificate of termination has been issued by such Secretary of State
         or until a decree dissolving the Company has been entered by a court of
         competent jurisdiction.

         10.2 Agreement to Avoid Dissolution. Each Member specifically
acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be dissolved upon the
withdrawal or resignation of any Member or other termination of any Member's
Interest in the Company. The events set forth in Section 322B.80, Subdivision 1,
clause (5), of the LLC Act, or a similar provision of subsequent law, shall not
be an event of dissolution for the Company and the Members hereby agree that the
business of the Company shall be continued upon the occurrence of any such event
without any additional action or any additional required consent of any Member
or Director.

         10.3 Distributions on Liquidation. Upon liquidation of the Company, its
business shall be wound up, the Board shall take full account of the Company's
assets and liabilities, and all assets, whether tangible or intangible, shall be
distributed to the Members or liquidated as promptly as is consistent with
obtaining the fair value thereof, as determined by the Board. If any assets are
not sold, gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with
Article 4 as if such assets had been sold at their fair market value at the time
of the liquidation. If any assets are distributed to a Member, rather than sold,
the Distribution shall be treated as a distribution equal to the fair market


                                       18
<PAGE>


value of the assets at the time of the liquidation. The assets of the Company
shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority:

                  (a) to the payment of all debts and liabilities of the

         11.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights of the
parties hereunder shall be governed by, interpreted and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to the principles of
conflicts-of-law. Each of the parties hereto consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the
City of Minneapolis or the state courts of the State of Minnesota sitting in the
City of Minneapolis in connection with any dispute arising in connection with
the Contemplated Transactions. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any
defense of an inconvenient forum or improper venue to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account
of its place of residence or domicile. Each party hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally consents to the service of any and all process in any such
action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing of copies of such process by
certified or registered airmail at its address specified in Section 11.1. Each
party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law.

         11.5 Binding Effect. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Members and
their legal representatives, heirs, administrators, executors, successors and
permitted assigns.

         11.6 Number and Gender. Wherever from the context it appears
appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural shall include
the singular and the plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the
feminine, or the neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter.

         11.7 Interpretation. All references herein to Articles, Sections and
paragraphs refer to Articles, Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement. All
Article, Section and paragraph headings are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

         11.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application of such provision to any Person or circumstances, shall be held
invalid, the remainder of the Agreement, or the application of such provision to
Persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, shall not
be affected thereby.

         11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement binding
on all Members. Facsimile and electronically transmitted signatures shall be
valid and binding to the same extent as original signatures. Each Member shall
become bound by this Agreement immediately upon signing and delivering any
counterpart, independently of the signature of any other Member. However, in
making proof of this Agreement, it will be necessary to produce only one copy
signed by the party to be charged.

         11.10 Right to Specific Performance. In view of the fact that the
Membership Interests subject to this Agreement are of a closely held limited
liability company, and in view of the purposes of this Agreement, it is agreed
that the remedy at law for failure of any party to perform would be inadequate
and that the injured party or parties, at his, her or their option, shall have
the right to compel the specific performance of this Agreement in a court of
competent jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by the LLC Act and other
applicable law, and not expressly prohibited by this Agreement.

         11.11 Further Assurances. Each Member agrees to execute and deliver
such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         11.12 No Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made solely and
specifically among and for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, and no other Person will have any rights,
interest or claims hereunder or be entitled to any benefits under or on account
of this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise.

         11.13 Incorporation by Reference. Each of the exhibits, schedules and
other appendices attached to this Agreement and referred to herein is hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by reference, unless this Agreement expressly
otherwise provides.

         11.14 Discretion. Whenever a Person may take action under this
Agreement is his, her or its "sole discretion," "sole and absolute discretion"
or "discretion," or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such Person
shall be entitled to consider any factors and interests as it desires, including
its own interests.

         11.15 Arbitration. The parties will, to the greatest extent possible,
endeavor to resolve any disputes relating to the Agreement through amicable
negotiations with escalation to the top executives of each party. Failing an
amicable settlement, any controversy, claim or dispute arising under or relating
to this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation,
performance, termination or breach of this Agreement, will finally be settled by
binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (the "Arbitration Tribunal")
which will be jointly appointed by the parties. The Arbitration Tribunal shall
self-administer the arbitration proceedings utilizing the Commercial Rules of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); provided, however, the AAA shall
not be involved in administration of the arbitration. The arbitrator must be a
retired judge of a state or federal court of the United States or a licensed
lawyer with at least ten (10) years of corporate or commercial law experience
from a law firm with at least 10 attorneys and at least an AV rating by
Martindale Hubbell. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, either party
may request the AAA to appoint an arbitrator which appointment will be final.

         The arbitration will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each party will
have discovery rights as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure within
the limits imposed by the arbitrator; provided, however, that all such discovery
will be commenced and concluded within sixty (60) days of the selection of the
arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that any arbitration will be
concluded as quickly as reasonably practicable. Once commenced, the hearing on
the disputed matters will be held four days a week until concluded, with each
hearing date to begin at 9:00 a.m. and to conclude at 5:00 p.m. The arbitrator
will use all reasonable efforts to issue the final written report containing
award or awards within a period of five (5) business days after closure of the
proceedings. Failure of the arbitrator to meet the time limits of this Section
will not be a basis for challenging the award. The Arbitration Tribunal will not
have the authority to award punitive damages to either party. Each party will
bear its own expenses, but the parties will share equally the expenses of the
Arbitration Tribunal. The Arbitration Tribunal shall award attorneys' fees and
other related costs payable by the losing party to the successful party as it
deems equitable. This Agreement will be enforceable, and any arbitration award
will be final and non-appealable, and judgment thereon may be entered in any
court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for
injunctive relief may be brought in a state or federal court in Minneapolis,
Minnesota.

         11.16 Litigation Expense. If any disputant (as defined in Section
11.15, and including all disputants opposing one or more other disputants as one
party) is made or shall become a party to any litigation (including arbitration)
commenced by or against another disputant involving the enforcement of any of
the rights or remedies of such disputant, or arising on account of a default of
the other disputant in its performance of any of the other disputant's
obligations hereunder, then the prevailing disputant in such litigation shall
receive from the other disputant all costs incurred by the prevailing disputant
in such litigation, plus reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court or

rate permitted by law.
