which is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto, the Reporting Persons agreed to transfer
---------
and deliver to Issuer 3,402,463 shares of common stock of CB Richard Ellis

8
International and certain other stockholders of the Issuer, a copy of which is
attached as Exhibit 3 hereto, the Issuer has granted certain management,
investment monitoring and other rights to the Reporting Persons. In addition,
the Reporting Persons have agreed that at all times prior to and following the
initial public offering of the Issuer (the "IPO"), it will vote all of the
shares of voting capital stock owned or held of record by it, or cause all of
the shares of voting capital stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by it to be
voted to elect directors designated pursuant to the terms of the
Securityholder's Agreement, including at least one designee of the Reporting
Persons. The Reporting Persons will retain this director designation right so
long as the Reporting Persons and their affiliates, collectively, beneficially
own common stock representing not less than 7.5% of the outstanding Issuer
Common Stock. Each committee of the Board will include at least one director
designated by the Reporting Persons. If the Reporting Persons notify other
holders of the Issuer's common stock (the "Securityholders") in writing of their
desire to remove, with or without cause, any director of the Issuer previously
designated by the Reporting Persons, each Securityholder will vote (to the
extent eligible to vote ) all of the shares of voting capital stock of the
Issuer beneficially owned or held of record by it, him or her so as to remove
such director. If any director previously designated by the Reporting Persons
ceases to serve on the Board (whether by reason of death, resignation, removal
or otherwise), the Reporting Persons will be entitled to designate a successor
director to fill the vacancy created thereby, and each Securityholder will vote
all shares of voting capital stock beneficially owned or held of record by it or
him or her in favor of such designation. In addition, prior to an IPO, the
Reporting Persons are collectively entitled to have two observers at all regular
meetings of the Board as long as the Reporting Persons, collectively,
beneficially own common stock representing at least 7.5% of the outstanding
Issuer Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Securityholder's Agreement, the Reporting Persons agree,
prior to the IPO, to vote all of the shares of voting capital stock of the
Issuer owned by them, in the same manner as the group of shareholders comprised
of RCBA Strategic Partners, L.P. and its affiliates ("Blum") votes the shares of
capital stock it beneficially owns in all matters to be voted on by the Issuer's
stockholders, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Securityholder's
Agreement. The Reporting Persons granted Blum an irrevocable proxy, coupled
with an interest, to vote, during the period preceding the IPO, all of the
shares of voting capital stock of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons in
accordance with the terms of the Securityholder's Agreement.
Neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries is permitted to engage in
certain transactions without the prior affirmative vote or written consent of
(i) a majority of the directors of the company and (ii) a majority of the
directors not designated by Blum. These transactions include any transaction
between Blum or any of its affiliates and the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries,
any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Issuer that
adversely affects any Securityholder relative to Blum, or any repurchase,
redemption, declaration, dividend payment or distribution upon any shares of
capital stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by Blum or any of its affiliates.
All of these requirements are subject to certain exceptions, as more fully
described in the Securityholder's Agreement. These consent rights terminate
upon the completion of the IPO.
The Issuer is prohibited from engaging in certain other transactions
without the prior affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the directors of the
Issuer and (ii) the director designated by the Reporting Persons. These include
the acquisition by purchase or otherwise, in any single or series of related
transactions, of any business or assets for a purchase price in excess of $75
million; the sale or disposition, in any single or series of related
transactions, of assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries for aggregate
consideration in excess of $75 million; the incurrence of indebtedness; the
issuance of capital stock of the Issuer to employees, directors, or consultants
of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries if such issuances, in the aggregate,
are greater than 75% of the total amount of outstanding capital stock of the
Issuer immediately after the closing of the merger transaction in which, among
other things, Blum CB Corp. merged with and into CBRE (the "Merger"). These
limitations are subject to certain exceptions, as more fully described in the
Securityholder's Agreement.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none
of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could
result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j),
inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons
may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position
and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect
thereto.
The information set forth in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Contribution Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2) and the
Securityholder's Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 3), each of which is
expressly incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Reporting Persons transferred
and delivered to the Issuer 3,402,463 shares of common stock of CB Richard Ellis
Services, Inc., $.01 value per share, in exchange for which Issuer agreed to
issue to the Reporting Persons 3,402,463 shares of Class B Common. The Issuer
also entered into a Warrant Agreement with FSEP III and FSEP International. A
copy of each of the Contribution Agreement and the Warrant Agreement is attached
as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 4 hereto, respectively, which describes more fully the
--------- ---------
terms thereof.
Pursuant to the Securityholder's Agreement, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 3 hereto, the Reporting Persons are subject to certain limitations
---------
regarding the transfer and voting of the Reporting Persons' shares. Among other
restrictions, the Reporting Persons may not directly or indirectly transfer any
shares of common stock or warrants unless the Reporting Persons comply with the
provisions of the Securityholder's Agreement.
If after three years following the completion of the Merger the Reporting
Persons desire to transfer all or any portion of its common stock or warrants to
a party not designated a "Permitted Transferee" under the Securityholder's
Agreement, the Reporting Persons must provide Blum with written notice of the
proposed transfer. The notice constitutes an irrevocable offer by the Reporting
Persons to sell the common stock or warrants being offered to Blum at the same
price and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer.
If Blum and/or its affiliates agree to transfer a majority of the shares
of common stock beneficially owned by them to a third-party (other than in a
public offering), the Reporting Persons agree that, if requested by Blum or its
affiliates, the Reporting Persons will transfer to the third-party on the same
terms and conditions the same portion of such
10
common stock as is to be transferred by Blum. If Blum approves any merger,
consolidation or other business combination involving the Issuer or its
subsidiaries, then the Reporting Persons agree (i) to vote all shares of common
stock held by them to approve the contemplated transaction and (ii) exercising
any appraisal or dissenter's rights available to them in connection with such
transactions. In addition to such drag-along rights in favor of Blum, the
Securityholder's Agreement grants the Reporting Persons tag-along rights on
transfers of common stock by Blum. Before an IPO, with respect to any proposed
transfer by Blum and/or its affiliates of its shares of common stock to a third
party, whether pursuant to a stock sale, merger, consolidation, tender or
exchange offer or other transaction, the Reporting Persons have the right, to
require the proposed acquirer to purchase from the Reporting Persons a pre-
defined portion of the Reporting Persons' common stock, as described more fully
in the Securityholder's Agreement. Blum is required to give notice to the
Reporting Persons of the aforementioned sale at least fifteen (15) business days
prior to the proposed consummation of such sale.
Pursuant to the Securityholder's Agreement, the Issuer has also granted
certain participation, piggyback and demand registration rights to the Reporting
Persons. The Issuer will not issue additional equity securities after the date
of the Merger to any party without first notifying the Reporting Persons and
granting the Reporting Persons the right to subscribe for a pro rata share of
these equity securities prior to their issuance. Under the terms of the
Securityholder's Agreement, the Reporting Persons may include shares of Issuer
Common Stock in any proposed registration of securities of the Issuer for resale
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), either for
the account of the Issuer or for the account of other Securityholders exercising
