entered into any material transaction other than in the ordinary course of
business, made any dividend or distribution on its capital stock, or redeemed or

representations set forth in Section 3.03, the
Company has complied and will comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws in connection with the offer, creation and sale of the Purchaser
Interests.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has or

solicit offers with respect thereto from, or enter into any preliminary
conversations or negotiations relating thereto with, any Person, so as to bring
the creation and sale of Purchaser Interests under the registration provisions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and

affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any

Property.

       

      (a)           The
Company owns, free and clear of all Liens, or has the valid right to use, all of
the Company Intellectual Property.  No other Person (other than
licensors of software that is generally commercially available, and exclusive
licensees of the Company Intellectual Property pursuant to agreements with the
Company) has any rights to any of the Company Intellectual Property, and, to the
Company’s knowledge, no other Person is infringing, violating or
misappropriating any of the Company Intellectual Property.

       

      (b)           The
Company has not received any complaint, claim or notice alleging any
infringement, violation or misappropriation of any issued patent, trademark or
copyrights of any other Person, and to the Company’s knowledge, there is no
basis for any such complaint, claim or notice.

       

      (c)           The
Company has taken commercially reasonable precautions to (i) protect its rights
in the Company Intellectual Property and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of
its trade secrets, know-how and other confidential Company Intellectual
Property.  To the Company’s knowledge, there have been no acts or
omissions (other than those made based on reasonable, good faith business
decisions) by the officers, managers, members, advisors, consultants or
employees of the Company, the result of which could reasonably be expected to
materially compromise the rights of the Company to apply for or enforce
appropriate legal protection of the Company Intellectual Property.

       

      (d)           All
of the Company Intellectual Property has been created by (i) employees of the
Company within the scope of their employment by the Company or by independent
contractors of the Company who have executed agreements expressly assigning all
rights, title and interest in such Company Intellectual Property to the Company,
(ii) employees of Case Shiller Weiss, Inc. (of which the Company was formerly a
wholly-owned subsidiary) (“CSW”), all of whom
executed agreements expressly assigning all right, title and interest in such
Company Intellectual Property to CSW, which Intellectual Property in turn
subsequently assigned all of such right, title and interest in such Company
Intellectual Property to the Company, or (iii) members of the Company who have
executed agreements expressly assigning all right, title and interest in such
Company Intellectual Property to the Company.  No portion of the
Company Intellectual Property was jointly developed with any third
party.

       

      2.09           Litigation.  There
is no action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity by any Person or
any arbitration or any administrative or other proceeding by or before any
Government Authority pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, against
the Company which (i) relates to or may affect the Business, or any of the
assets owned or used by the Company, or (ii) challenges, prevents, delays
or makes illegal the Sale and the other transactions contemplated
hereby.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      2.10           Authorization.  The
sale of Units by the Company to the Purchaser, and the performance of the
provisions of this agreement, do not and will not conflict with any law or
regulation or any term or provision of the Articles of Organization or the
Operating Agreement, and same are duly authorized, and do not require the
consent or approval of any governmental body or other regulatory authority,
except as stated herein and as may be required by application of the securities
laws of the various states, all of which the Company shall use its best efforts
to satisfy for the purposes of establishing any necessary and available
exemption from registration of its securities thereunder in the event such
exemption is available with respect to the transaction contemplated
herein.

       

      2.11           No Conflict. 
The execution, delivery and performance of this agreement is not in
contravention of, or in conflict with, any agreement, indenture or undertaking
to which the Company is a party, or by which any of its property may be bound or
affected, and same will not cause any lien, charge or other encumbrance to be
created or imposed upon any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or
similar rights, statutory or otherwise, that have not been properly waived or
complied with by the Company.

       

      2.12           Capitalization.  The
authorized capital of the Company, immediately following the execution of this
agreement, will be as set forth in the Capitalization Table attached hereto as

agreement, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
agreement and the Operating Agreement, and for the consideration set forth
herein, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of
restrictions on transfer other than as set forth in this agreement, applicable
state and federal securities laws, and liens and encumbrances created or imposed
by the Purchaser.  Assuming the accuracy of the representations of
Purchaser herein, the Units will be issued in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws. The Units issued under the terms of this
agreement have been duly reserved for issuance, will be validly issued, fully
paid, and non-assessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than
restrictions on transfer under the terms of this agreement and the Operating
Agreement, applicable federal and state securities laws and liens, or
encumbrances created or imposed by the Purchaser.  Further, neither
the company nor any of its affiliates, nor nay person acting on its behalf, is
subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, nor the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940.

       

      2.14           Taxes.  The
property and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all mortgages,
deeds of trust, liens, loans, and encumbrances, except for statutory liens for
the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent, and encumbrances and
liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair
the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets.

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
             

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      REPRESENTATIONS

      Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

       

      2.15           Organization and Good
Standing.  Purchaser is a duly organized and validly existing
limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has all requisite company power and authority for the ownership and
operation of its properties and for the carrying on of its business as now
conducted and as now proposed to be conducted.

       

      2.16           Corporate
Action.  Purchaser has all corporate power and has taken all
corporate action required to enter into and perform this Agreement and any other
applicable Transaction Document, and Purchaser is duly authorized to execute and
deliver such Transaction Document.  The Transaction Documents are
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy laws or by any court sitting as a court of
equity.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of each other Transaction Document have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Purchaser.  

       

      2.17           Acquisition of Purchaser
Interests for Investment.

       

      (a)           Purchaser
is acquiring the Purchaser Interests for its own account for investment purposes
only and not with a view to distribution or resale of the Purchaser
Interests.  Purchaser will not sell or otherwise dispose of the
Purchaser Interests in violation of the provisions of the Securities
Act.  Purchaser understands that the Purchaser Interests have been
sold in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and
exemptions contained in applicable state securities laws and, accordingly, must
be held indefinitely by Purchaser unless they are later transferred in
transactions that are either registered under the Securities Act or exempt from
registration.  Purchaser understands that the Company is under no
obligation to register the Purchaser Interests under the Securities Act or to
file for or comply with an exemption from registration and recognizes that
exemptions from registration, in any case, are limited and may not be available
when Purchaser may wish to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchaser
Interests.

       

      (b)           Purchaser
understands that the Purchaser Interests have not been registered under the
Securities Act, that a notation restricting their transfer will be made on the
unit transfer books of the Company and that any certificates representing the
Purchaser Interests issued will bear the following legend restricting their
transfer:

       

      THE UNITS
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT
COVERING THE TRANSFER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (c)           Purchaser
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the Purchaser
Interests.  Purchaser understands that the Purchaser Interests are a
risky and speculative investment.  Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company has delivered to Purchaser sufficient information regarding the
operations and prospects of the Company as well as certain risks of an
investment in the Purchaser Interests.  Purchaser further acknowledges
that (i) the Company has made its officers available for interview by Purchaser
and has made available to Purchaser all documents and information required by
Purchaser to make an informed decision with regard to the purchase of the
Purchaser Interests, and (ii) Purchaser’s knowledge and such interviews,
documents and information are sufficient to allow Purchaser to make an informed
decision with regard to the purchase of the Purchaser Interests.

       

      (d)           Purchaser
understands that projected performance and other future looking statements
furnished to Purchaser in connection with its evaluation of an investment in the
Purchaser Interests contain assumptions and that actual results may differ
materially from those projected as a result of risks and
uncertainties.

       

      (e)           Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company is issuing Purchaser Interests to Purchaser in
reliance upon its representations and warranties in this Agreement.

       

      2.18           Brokers or
Finders.  No Person has or will have, as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or valid claim
against or upon Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation as a
finder or broker.

      3.01           Indemnification.

       

      (a)           Indemnification by the
Company.  The Company shall indemnify, pay, defend and hold
harmless Purchaser and each of Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees and
agents and their respective Affiliates (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”)
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements
of counsel for such indemnitees) (“Damages”), incurred
by such Purchaser Indemnitee, as a result of (i) the misrepresentation,
violation, breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company
under this Agreement  (determined with explicit regard to any
materiality qualification or qualification related to such party’s knowledge
contained in any representation or warranty giving rise to a claim for indemnity
hereunder), and (ii) any claim, action, suit or proceeding alleging facts
that, if proven true, would constitute a misrepresentation or breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant by the Company (determined with explicit
regard to any materiality qualification or qualification related to such party’s
knowledge contained in any representation or warranty giving rise to a claim for
indemnity hereunder). In no event shall the Company’s cumulative obligation to
Purchaser under this Article IV exceed the Purchase Price.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
             

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      (b)           Indemnification by the
Purchaser.  Purchaser shall, indemnify, pay, defend and hold
harmless the Company and each of the Company’s officers, directors, employees
and agents and their respective Affiliates (the “Company Indemnitees”)
against any and all Damages incurred by such Company Indemnitee, as a result of
(i) the misrepresentation, violation or breach of any representation or
warranty set forth in Section 3.04 of this
Agreement (determined with explicit regard to any materiality qualification or
qualification related to such party’s knowledge contained in any representation
or warranty giving rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder) and (ii) any
claim, action, suit or proceeding alleging facts that if proven true would
constitute a misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant by Purchaser (determined with explicit regard to any materiality
qualification or qualification related to such party’s knowledge contained in
any representation or warranty giving rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder).
In no event shall Purchaser’s cumulative obligation to the Company under this
Article IV exceed the Purchase Price.

       

      (c)           Settlement.  No
settlement shall be effected with any third party with respect to an
indemnifiable claim unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
the Indemnitees.

       

      (d)           Survival.  The
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company contained
in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for
a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date hereof, except

representations shall survive indefinitely; and

       

      (ii)           in
the case of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, each such
covenant or agreement shall survive indefinitely until the termination of such
applicable agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided by its
terms.

       

      Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in
respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section
4.01(a) shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate
pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach
thereof giving rise to such right to indemnity shall have been given to the
party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

FEES:

       

      Investment
Advisory Fees shall be billed and payable quarterly (or a prorated period, when
applicable).

       

      Fee
amounts shall be debited from the Corporation's account on the date on which the
Investment Manager dispatches a Quarterly Statement setting forth the basis for
these charges.

       

      Upon
termination and liquidation the Investment Manager shall calculate the fee based
upon the cash value of assets realized and the fee earned will be prorated based
on the time elapsed since the prior quarterly fee payment through that
liquidation of the accounts is complete or the accounts or assets are
transferred to the Corporation's control or to another manager.

       

      This fee
schedule was amended November 2008 and supersedes any previous fee
