(b) the obligations of Seller under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii), but only to the extent such obligations (i) are specifically included in Net Working Capital, and only the amount stated in the Final Net Working Capital Statement, or arise after the Closing Date, (ii) do not arise from or relate to any breach by Seller of any such Contracts, (iii) do not arise from or relate to any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing Date that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach by Seller of any such Contracts and (iv) are ascertainable (in nature and amount) solely by reference to the express terms of such Contracts;

(c) all liabilities and obligations arising from Buyer’s operation of the Assets or the Business, in each case after the Closing Date; and

(l) any Liability arising from or relating to the Proprietary Rights of third parties on or prior to the Closing, including any loss or infringement thereof;

Section 1.4 Third-Party Consents. To the extent that any Asset is not assigned or not assignable to Buyer or if any necessary consent to such assignment shall not have been obtained by the Selling Parties as of the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment of such Asset. With respect to any such Asset, from and after the date hereof, the Selling Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary consents. If such consents are not obtained, the Selling Parties (i) shall cooperate in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the benefits of such Asset, including remitting to Buyer any amounts paid to Seller, and (ii) enforce at the request of Buyer any rights of Seller arising from such Asset (including a right of termination). Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform any obligations relating to an Asset for which benefits are being provided to Buyer in accordance with the preceding sentence to the same extent required of Seller (in the same (or as near as practicable) manner and time, and with the same quality, required of Seller).

Section 1.5 Personal Goodwill. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each LLC Owner agrees to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to FTI, and FTI agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of such LLC Owner’s Personal Goodwill.

ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION AND MANNER OF PAYMENT

Section 2.1 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Assets, the restrictive covenants contained in Section 5.8, the Personal Goodwill of the LLC Owners and the restrictive

covenants contained in the Employment Agreements (the “Purchase Price”) shall consist of the Cash Consideration and the Share Consideration. The “Cash Consideration” shall be equal to $30,100,000 plus any Substitute Cash Payment, plus or minus, as applicable, the dollar amount, if any, by which the Final Net Working Capital is greater than or less than the Baseline Net Working Capital, minus the Uncollected Receivables Amount as of the Receivables True-up Date. The “Share Consideration” shall consist of the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FTI (“Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $12,900,000 minus any Substitute Cash Payment by (y) the average of the daily closing prices per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the Wall Street Journal for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the last Business Day that is two (2) days prior to the Closing Date (such average, the “Closing Date Value”). For purposes of the Closing, the “Closing Cash Payment” shall be equal to (i) $30,100,000, plus or minus, as applicable, (ii) the dollar amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater or less than the Baseline Net Working Capital, minus (iii) the product obtained by multiplying the number of Aggregate Excess Shares by the Closing Date Value.

(b) The portion of the Purchase Price payable to each LLC Owner and to Seller shall be set forth on a schedule to be agreed upon by Buyer or FTI, as applicable, and, on behalf of Seller and the LLC Owners, the Seller Representative, and delivered at the Closing (the “Purchase Price Schedule”).

Section 2.2 Payment of Purchase Price at the Closing. At the Closing:

(a) Buyer or FTI shall, in accordance with the Purchase Price Schedule, deliver (i) the Closing Cash Payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (ii) the Aggregate Excess Shares; and

(b) Buyer or FTI shall deposit with an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) (i) all Share Consideration other than the Aggregate Excess Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) and (ii) a portion of the Cash Consideration, which portion shall include the Aggregate Excess Cash, equal to $12,900,000 minus an amount equal to the number of Escrowed Shares multiplied by the Closing Date Value, pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(b) (the “Escrow Agreement”), and such shares of Common Stock and cash (plus all income accrued thereon) (the “Escrowed Amounts”) shall be maintained by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Net Working Capital. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Net Working Capital” means the difference, as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, between Seller’s (i) current assets and (ii) current liabilities. The Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with Exhibit 2.3(a).

(b) Estimated Net Working Capital. The Selling Parties shall cause to be delivered to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Seller (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Certificate”) setting forth the Selling Parties’ good-faith best estimate of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with Exhibit 2.3(a) (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”). Upon receipt of the Estimated Net Working Capital Certificate, Buyer and FTI and their representatives shall be given reasonable access to all of Seller’s books and records reasonably relating to the Estimated Net Working Capital.

(c) Closing Net Working Capital Statement. On the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the Closing Date, Buyer and its representatives shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement setting forth the Net Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with Exhibit 2.3(a) (the “Closing Net Working Capital Statement”); provided that the accounts receivable set forth on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement shall be identical to, and shall not reflect any changes to, the accounts receivable set forth on the Estimated Net Working Capital Certificate (with any adjustments in respect of accounts receivable that would otherwise have been reflected in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement instead being accounted for through the process described in Section 2.3(g)). Upon receipt of such certificate, the Selling Parties shall be given access to all of FTI’s, FTI LLC’s and Buyer’s books and records reasonably relating to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the financial detail reasonably necessary to verify Buyer’s calculation of Net Working Capital set forth therein.

(d) Protest Notice. Within twenty (20) Business Days of delivery of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, the Seller Representative may deliver written notice (the “Protest Notice”) to Buyer of any objections that Seller may have to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. Such Protest Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of such objection together with the amount(s) in dispute. The failure of the Seller Representative to deliver such Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute the Selling Parties’ acceptance of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement as delivered by Buyer.

(e) Resolution of Protest. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement within twenty (20) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Protest Notice, then the items in dispute will be referred to an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Seller Representative (the “Accountant”) for final arbitration within forty-five (45) days after submitting the matter to the Accountant, which arbitration shall be final and binding on Buyer and Selling Parties. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to agree upon the Accountant, then each shall select an independent accounting firm, and the two accounting firms so selected mutually shall select a third accounting firm to act as the sole Accountant. The Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and the Seller Representative, and not by independent review, only those amounts still in dispute. Buyer and the Seller Representative agree to execute, if requested by the Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter. The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller so that Seller’s share of such fees and expenses shall be equal to the product of (i) and (ii), where (i) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (ii) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as determined by the Accountant) and the denominator of which is the difference between Buyer’s and Seller’s respective calculation of the disputed item submitted to arbitration. The term “Final Net Working Capital Statement” means the definitive Net Working Capital Statement accepted by the Seller Representative or agreed to by the Seller Representative and Buyer in accordance with Section 2.3(d) or this Section 2.3(e) or the definitive Net Working Capital Statement resulting from the determinations made by the Accountant in accordance with this Section 2.3(e) (in addition to those items theretofore accepted by the Seller Representative or agreed to by the Seller Representative and Buyer). The term “Final Net Working Capital” means the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Final Net Working Capital Statement.

(f) Net Working Capital Reconciliation. Within fifteen (15) days following the determination of the Final Net Working Capital Statement:

(i) if the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Final Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Excess Cash Amount”), the Excess Cash Amount shall be paid to Buyer, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (and Buyer and the Seller Representative shall so direct the Escrow Agent); and

(ii) if the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Cash Shortfall”), Buyer shall pay to Seller, in immediately available funds, the Cash Shortfall.

(g) Accounts Receivable Reconciliation. Within fifteen (15) days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall determine the Uncollected Receivables Amount as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Receivables True-up Date”), and if, as of the Receivables True-up Date, an Uncollected Receivables Amount exists, the Uncollected Receivables Amount shall be paid to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (and Buyer and the Seller Representative shall so direct the Escrow Agent).

(h) Reimbursement of Seller for Certain Excluded Liabilities. If, after the determination of the Final Net Working Capital Statement pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Seller receives an invoice demanding payment by Seller of an undischarged liability of Seller that (i) existed at the time of the Closing and would have been a current liability of Seller at such time, (ii) was not included in the Estimated Net Working Capital or the Final Net Working Capital and (iii) is of the same type as one or more of the current liabilities specifically included on the Final Net Working Capital Statement (the amount of any such current liability for which payment is so demanded, a “Post-Reconciliation Payable”), then the Seller Representative may submit such bill or invoice to Buyer, together with authorization to the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer a portion of the Escrowed Amounts equal in dollar value to the related Post-Reconciliation Payable (any such authorization, an “Escrow Release Authorization”), and Buyer shall make payment thereon on behalf of Seller to the extent of any amount received by Buyer from the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Release Authorization; provided that Buyer shall not be required to make any such payment to the extent that the amount of such payment, together with the aggregate amount of all payments theretofore made by Buyer in respect of Post-Reconciliation Payables under this Section 2.3(h), would exceed $500,000.

Section 2.4 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price (plus the Assumed Liabilities) shall be allocated in the manner required by Section 1060 of the Code as between the Assets and the Personal Goodwill of the LLC Owners. The allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing shall be set forth on a signed and dated schedule delivered by Seller to FTI at the Closing, and such allocation shall be consistent with (i) the draft of such schedule provided by Seller to FTI prior to the date of this Agreement (except for changes needed to reflect the identity of the LLC Owners who are selling Personal Goodwill and changes necessary to reflect revised calculations of Net Working Capital), and (ii) the Purchase Price Schedule. Such allocation, as it may be revised after the Closing by agreement between the Seller Representative and Buyer to reflect post-Closing adjustments, if any, to the Purchase Price, is referred to herein as the “Allocation.”

(b) Seller and Buyer shall (i) be bound by the Allocation for all Tax purposes; (ii) prepare and file all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto, in a manner consistent with the Allocation; and (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Allocation in any Tax Return or any proceeding before any taxing authority. In the event that the Allocation is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party and keep the other party apprised of material developments concerning resolution of such dispute.

If Buyer is required under this Section 5.7(a) to file any such Tax Return, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the amount of the Transfer Tax shown to be due on such Tax Return, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for one-half of the amount of such Transfer Tax in immediately available funds within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice.

(b) All real estate Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Assets for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the period ending with and including the Closing Date (with respect to any such taxable period, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and the number of days of such taxable period beginning after the Closing Date (with respect to any such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall not be required to make any payment to Buyer with respect to its proportionate share of such Taxes earlier than two (2) Business Days prior to the date such payment is due to the appropriate taxing authority.

(c) After the Closing, upon reasonable notice, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their representatives, employees, counsel and accountants access, during normal business hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Assets as are reasonably necessary for financial reporting and accounting matters relating to the Assets, the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns, reports or forms relating to the Assets, the defense of any Tax or other claim or assessment relating to the Assets; provided, however, that such access and assistance do not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of Buyer, in the case of access and assistance given to Seller, or Seller, in the case of access and assistance given to Buyer.

(d) Each party hereto hereby waives compliance by the Seller, Buyer and each LLC Owner with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar laws of any state or political subdivision. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, Liabilities (including Tax Liabilities), costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or any of its affiliates as a result of any failure to comply with any such “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar laws in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(e) FTI LLC, Buyer and the Selling Parties shall, to the extent possible, (i) treat FTI LLC or Buyer as a “successor employer” and Seller as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to employees of Seller to be employed by FTI LLC or Buyer for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act and (ii) cooperate to avoid the filing of more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each such employee for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.

Section 5.8 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Acknowledgment. Each of the Selling Parties and the LLC Owners (each a “Restricted Party”) agrees and acknowledges that, in order to assure Buyer that the Business and the Assets will retain their value, it is necessary that such Restricted Party undertake not to utilize its special knowledge of the Business and its relationship with clients or customers to compete with Buyer.

(b) Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreement. In light of the foregoing, and as consideration for FTI’s FTI LLC’s and Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, each Restricted Party hereby covenants and agrees that, during the Covenant Period (as defined in Section 5.8(c)(i) below), such Restricted Party shall not, alone or with others, directly or indirectly (as owner, stockholder, partner, member, lender, investor, director, officer, employee, consultant, or otherwise), except on behalf of FTI or its Affiliates (each an “FTI Party”):

(ii) solicit any Client (as defined in Section 5.8(c)(ii) below), Prospective Client (as defined in Section 5.8(c)(iii) below) or Contractor (as defined in Section 5.8(c)(iv) below); or

(vii) assist any Person, employer, business associate or member of such Restricted Party’s family to commit any of the foregoing acts; or

(viii) be employed by or otherwise provide services to any Client or Prospective Client.

(c) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5.8, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:

(i) For the purposes hereof, the term “Covenant Period” means the period beginning on the date of the Closing Date and ending on the date set forth on Schedule 5.8(c); provided that, notwithstanding the provisions above, the duration of the applicable Covenant Period will be extended by the amount of any and all periods that such Restricted Party is found to have been in breach of any covenant under this Section 5.8(b).

(ii) The term “Client” shall mean any Person for whom, with which, or for the benefit of whom, directly or indirectly, (A) Seller had or has a contract, engagement, arrangement, purchase order or other agreement (whether written or oral), provided any services or information or engaged in any business, within the twenty-four (24) months immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) such Restricted Party performed services, provided information, conducted business, had contact with, was introduced to, or acquired any knowledge about through the Selling Parties.

(iii) The term “Prospective Client” shall mean any Person for whom, from which, or for the benefit of whom, directly or indirectly, (A) Seller solicited or attempted to solicit any business or to which Seller has submitted any written or oral solicitation, bid or proposal to provide services or information or conduct business, within the twenty-four (24) months immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) such Restricted Party performed services, provided information, conducted business, had contact with, was introduced to, or acquired any knowledge about through the Selling Parties.

(v) The term “Competing Business” means the supplying of services, information, products or work product which are competitive with the Business or within the product lines in which Seller is engaged immediately prior to the Closing.

(d) Confidential Information. From the date hereof and thereafter, each of the Restricted Parties shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, furnish, make available or disclose to any third party or use for the benefit of itself or any third party, any Confidential Information. As used in this Section 5.8(b), “Confidential Information” shall mean any information relating to (i) this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) the Business and the business or affairs of Buyer, including to information relating to financial statements, client or customer identities, potential clients or customers, employees, suppliers, servicing methods, equipment, programs, strategies and information, analyses, profit

Each of the Restricted Parties acknowledges that the Confidential Information is vital, sensitive, confidential and proprietary to the Business.

(e) Enforceability; Blue-Pencil. Each of the Restricted Parties recognizes that the territorial, time and scope limitations set forth in this Section 5.8 are reasonable and are properly required for the protection of Buyer’s legitimate interest in client relationships, goodwill and trade secrets of the Business. In the event that any such territorial, time or scope limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer and each of the Restricted Parties agrees, and each of the Restricted Parties submits, to the reduction of any or all of said territorial, time or scope limitations to such an area, period or scope as said court shall deem reasonable under the circumstances. If such partial enforcement is not possible, the provision shall be deemed severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(f) Remedies. Each of the Restricted Parties acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.8 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer’s business interests, that irreparable injury will result to Buyer if a Selling Party breaches any of the terms of this Section 5.8, and that in the event of a Selling Party’s actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions contained in this Section 5.8, Buyer will have no adequate remedy at law. Each of the Restricted Parties accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by it of any of the provisions contained in this Section 5.8, Buyer shall be entitled to such injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or posting a bond, as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove, and the parties agree that any determination as to any such damages shall be made irrespective of the allocation of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4.

Section 5.9 Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Selling Party and each LLC Owner shall, from time to time, at the request of Buyer, and without further expense to Buyer, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer (including powers of attorney) as Buyer may reasonably request, in order to more effectively consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to vest in Buyer good and marketable title to the Assets and the Personal Goodwill of each LLC Owner, including assistance in the collection or reduction to possession of any such Assets.

From and after the Closing, except as may be required by or pursuant to Section 1.4 or Section 5.15 or requested by Buyer in writing, each of the Selling Parties will cease its operations and will not engage in any business whatsoever. On the Closing Date, Selling Parties shall cause Seller and Cambio Partners to amend their respective Organizational Documents so as to delete therefrom the word “Cambio” (the “Business Name”) and will file, as promptly as practicable, such documents as are necessary to reflect such name change in their respective states of formation or organization and the other jurisdictions where they are qualified to do business as a foreign Person. From and after the Closing Date, each of Seller and Cambio Partners agrees it will not adopt any name that is confusingly similar to, or a derivation of, the Business Name. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Parties shall be entitled to use the names “Cambio,” “Cambio Health Solutions,” and

“Cambio Partners” for purposes of prosecuting or defending third-party claims (including claims for indemnification from third-parties), filing and appealing tax returns, and for legitimate business purposes associated with the wind-down and dissolution of Selling Parties, when they occur; provided that the Selling Parties provide FTI with prior written notice of such use.

Section 5.11 Discharge of Liabilities. Following the Closing, Seller shall pay or discharge the Excluded Liabilities.

Section 5.12 Employee Matters.

(a) Seller shall provide Buyer with an update (as set forth in that certain letter agreement dated the date hereof between Seller and Buyer) on the second business day next preceding the Closing Date. FTI LLC shall offer employment, effective as of the Closing Date, to each of Seller’s current employees actively involved in the Business, except those employees who are on long-term disability leave and those individuals who have been offered employment by Seller but who have not yet begun work (collectively, the “Business Employees”), in the same positions held by them and at the same salaries as those provided by Seller as of the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for any Business Employee who currently works less than one hundred percent (100%) of his or her professional time for Seller and who is identified on Schedule 5.12, FTI LLC, effective as of the Closing Date, shall offer to employ such Business Employee for the same percentage of his or her professional time as did Seller. Each of the Business Employees who accepts FTI LLC’s offer and commences employment as of the Closing Date shall be known as a “Transferred Employee.” The Transferred Employees will be eligible to participate in such qualified and nonqualified employee pension plans, group health, long-term disability, and group life insurance plans, employee stock purchase plans and any other welfare and fringe benefit plans, arrangements, programs and perquisites, generally maintained or provided by FTI LLC from time to time to or for the benefit of FTI LLC’s similarly situated employees (“Benefit Plans”), at a level commensurate with FTI LLC’s policies and practices regarding other similarly situated employees. Each Transferred Employee’s participation or eligibility to participate in any Benefit Plans will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and FTI LLC’s generally applied policies, practices and procedures. If and to the extent that a Transferred Employee was covered under a comparable group health, long-term disability or group life insurance plan immediately prior to the Closing, all such insurance coverage in which such Transferred Employee elects to participate under the Benefit Plans shall be provided without regard to such Transferred Employee’s pre-existing conditions or evidence of insurability and in a manner that ensures that such Transferred Employee is provided coverage beginning on the date on which such Transferred Employee becomes an employee of FTI LLC and without any waiting periods or gaps in coverage. FTI LLC in its discretion may from time to time adopt, modify, interpret, or discontinue any Benefit Plans, and/or any policies, practices or procedures in a manner generally applicable to similarly situated employees. A Transferred Employee’s eligibility to participate or participation in any Benefit Plan is not a guarantee that such Transferred Employee will be or will continue to be paid, granted or awarded any discretionary benefit, bonus, performance-based, contingent, incentive, equity incentive or other form of discretionary compensation. Each Transferred Employee will be given full credit for years of service with Seller and its predecessors prior to the Closing solely for purposes of determining such Transferred Employee’s (i) eligibility and vesting in any benefits under the Benefit Plans, (ii) entitlements to paid time off and (iii) level of seniority under other employment policies.

(b) Seller shall release all Transferred Employees from any covenants (pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan or employment agreement or otherwise) that

would reasonably be expected to, at any time after the Closing, limit the ability of such Transferred Employee to compete with Seller or Cambio Partners or to solicit clients of Seller or Cambio Partners, or any other covenants (pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan or employment agreement or otherwise) that would in any way restrict the business activities of a Transferred Employee on behalf of FTI and/or Buyer with respect to any business in which FTI or any Subsidiary of FTI is engaged as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Closing).

(c) FTI LLC shall give all Transferred Employees full credit for unused paid time off which they accrued while employees of Seller, calculated as of the Closing Date (collectively, “PTO”), so long as such amount is accrued as a current liability on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement either by: (i) crediting such Transferred Employees with the PTO reflected in the employment records of Seller immediately prior to the Closing, or (ii) by making full payments to such employees of the amounts which such employees would have received had they taken such PTO.

(d) On and after the Closing Date, to the extent that Transferred Employees are eligible for any employee pension and welfare benefit plans sponsored by Buyer or FTI LLC, Transferred Employees shall be given credit for the periods which they were employed by Seller or its predecessors for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting of benefits, and preexisting condition limitations will be waived with respect to Transferred Employees and their covered dependents unless such preexisting condition limitations were applicable prior to the Closing Date. In addition, if prior to the Closing Date, a Transferred Employee or his or her covered dependents paid any amounts towards a deductible or out-of-pocket maximum in Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans’ current fiscal year, such amounts shall be applied toward satisfaction of the deductible or out-of-pocket maximum in the current fiscal year of Buyer’s or FTI LLC’s welfare plans that cover Transferred Employees on and after the Closing Date.

(e) FTI LLC shall be responsible to provide continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 4980B and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA (“COBRA Coverage”) with respect to employees (and their dependents) whose qualifying event occurs on or after the date on which such Transferred Employees became employed by FTI LLC.

Section 5.13 Share Consideration. In the event Seller receives any Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), Seller shall not shall not offer, sell, transfer, assign, exchange, pledge, hypothecate, give, bequeath or otherwise convey, transfer or encumber (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise) or enter into any agreement to offer, sell, transfer, assign, exchange, pledge, hypothecate, give, bequeath or otherwise convey, transfer or encumber, directly or indirectly (individually and collectively, a “Transfer”) any Share Consideration other than to Cambio Partners, and Cambio Partners shall not effect any Transfer of shares of Common Stock issued by FTI as Share Consideration to any Person other than to an individual named in Exhibit A who is a party to a Restricted Stock Agreement and who delivered to FTI a completed LLC Owner Questionnaire (in the form attached to the Restricted Stock Agreement as Exhibit B thereto) indicating in Item 2 thereof that at least one of the four descriptions provided therein applies to such Person.

Section 5.14 Tail Insurance. At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall have obtained “occurrence based” errors and omissions insurance coverage or “tail” insurance from a carrier reasonably acceptable to Buyer, naming Buyer as an additional insured, with aggregate liability

limits at least equal to Seller’s current errors and omissions coverage, for acts or omissions arising in the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing.

Section 5.15 Enforcement of IRG Indemnities.

(a) On or prior to Closing, Seller shall organize, under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, a corporation or limited liability company, one hundred percent (100%) of the voting securities of which are owned by Seller or collectively by Seller and one or more of the LLC Owners (provided that at least a majority of such voting securities shall be owned by Seller) (“CHS Sub”). On or prior to Closing, Seller shall assign to CHS Sub the Contribution and Redemption Agreement, and Seller shall cause CHS Sub to execute an instrument reasonably acceptable to Buyer in which it agrees with Buyer to be bound by the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15 (the “CHS Sub Agreement”).

(b) If Buyer suffers any Losses which are the basis for an indemnification claim by either of the Selling Parties against IRG under the Contribution and Redemption Agreement, the Selling Parties and CHS Sub shall (i) upon the written request of FTI and at FTI’s expense, take all steps reasonably requested by FTI to enforce their respective indemnification rights against IRG, QHR and Triad under the Contribution and Redemption Agreement and (ii) unless Buyer has received payment from the Escrowed Amounts in full for such Losses, promptly transfer to Buyer any amounts recovered from IRG, QHR and Triad in connection therewith, up to the amount of such Losses.

(c) In order to allow such rights to be enforced, the Selling Parties and CHS Sub agree that, prior to expiration of the indemnification rights referenced above, either: (i) CHS Sub’s existence shall be maintained, and CHS Sub shall not be dissolved or liquidated or file for bankruptcy; or (ii) CHS Sub shall assign the Contribution and Redemption Agreement to another permitted assignee thereunder that is a corporation or limited liability company organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and that has executed an instrument reasonably acceptable to Buyer in which it agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 5.15 in place of CHS Sub and in which it agrees with Buyer to maintain its existence and not to dissolve, liquidate or file for bankruptcy until the indemnification rights referenced above have expired.

Section 5.16 Financial Statements. Seller shall deliver as soon as available, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the end of each fiscal month of Seller ended prior to the Closing and after the fiscal month referenced in Section 3.5(a)(ii), a balance sheet of Seller as of the end of such fiscal month and the related statement of income for such fiscal month and for the portion of the Company’s fiscal year then ended, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements and in accordance with Exhibit 2.3(a), subject to normal immaterial year-end adjustments and to the lack of the footnote disclosure otherwise required by GAAP.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of a representation or warranty made herein or in the Transaction Documents by Seller or any LLC Owner;

(b) any non-compliance with or breach by a Selling Party or LLC Owner of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents executed by Selling Parties, the LLC Owners or any of their Affiliates (other than the LLC Owners’ covenants in Section 5.8);

(c) any action, demand, proceeding, investigation or claim (whenever made) by any third party (including Governmental Agencies) that, if successful, would give rise to or evidence the existence of or relate to a misrepresentation or breach of any of the representations and warranties or covenants of the Selling Parties in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(d) any Liability arising out of or related to the formation of Seller or Cambio Partners, equity ownership interests in Seller or Cambio Partners or any matter relating to agreements between and/or among any of Seller, Cambio Partners, current or former members of Seller, current or former members of Cambio Partners and Affiliates of any of the foregoing;

(e) the Excluded Liabilities;

(f) the Excluded Assets; and

(g) the operation of, or any breach of any covenant or agreement pursuant to, Section 10.18, or the designation, appointment and actions of the Seller Representative pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.18, including, with respect to (x) actions taken by the Seller Representative and (y) reliance by the Buyer Indemnified Parties on, and actions taken by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in response to or in reliance on, the instructions of, notice given by or any other action taken by the Seller Representative.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer, FTI and FTI LLC, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save Selling Parties and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) forever harmless from and against, and to promptly pay to a Seller Indemnified Party or reimburse a Seller Indemnified Party for, any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party relating to, resulting from, arising out of, or otherwise by virtue of, any of the following:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of a representation or warranty made herein or in the Transaction Documents by Buyer, FTI or FTI LLC;

(c) any action, demand, proceeding, investigation or claim (whenever made) by any third party (including Governmental Agencies) against or affecting any Selling Party, or breach of any of the representations and warranties or covenants of Buyer of FTI or FTI LLC.

Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedure for Buyer Indemnified Parties.

(a) If, subsequent to the Closing, a Buyer Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including to any Federal, state or local domestic or foreign Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Buyer Indemnified Party, with respect to which Seller is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Seller Representative within thirty (30) days after learning of such claim (a “Buyer Indemnification Notice”). If the Seller Representative in good faith does not agree that the Third Party Claim is one for which Seller is required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party, the Seller Representative shall give written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party of such fact within fifteen (15) days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Buyer Indemnification Notice (a “Seller Objection Notice”). If the Seller Representative does not give a Seller Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Buyer Indemnification Notice, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall appoint counsel reasonably acceptable to the Seller Representative to defend the Third Party Claim, and thereafter shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim so long as such Third Party Claim seeks recovery from any FTI Party. All Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts) shall be paid from the Escrowed Amounts in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. No Buyer Indemnified Party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement agreement for an amount that is less than the current amount in the Escrow Accounts (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), excluding any Segregated Portions (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), plus $500,000 (the “Consent Threshold”) without the consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that, in the case of any judgment or settlement agreement for an amount in excess of the Consent Threshold, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have sole consent and settlement authority.

(b) If, subsequent to the Closing, a Buyer Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification from Seller for Losses unrelated to Third Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”), the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Seller Representative a Buyer Indemnification Notice within thirty (30) days after the claim becomes known to the Buyer Indemnified Party. If the Seller Representative does not agree that the Direct Claim is one for which Seller is required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party, the Seller Representative shall give the Buyer Indemnified Party a Seller Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Buyer Indemnification Notice. If the Seller Representative does not give a Seller Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the Buyer Indemnification Notice, all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the Direct Claim shall be paid from the Escrowed Amounts in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) If the Seller Representative timely gives a Seller Objection Notice in response to any Buyer Indemnification Notice related to a Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall appoint counsel, and conduct the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of any Selling Party, any LLC Owner or the Seller Representative. If the Seller Representative gives a Seller Objection Notice in response to a Buyer Indemnification Notice related to either a Direct Claim or a Third Party Claim, and the Buyer Indemnified Party still believes that Seller is required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party for such Direct Claim or Third Party Claim, the parties shall litigate the dispute, and the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in the litigation (which, if Seller is the non-prevailing party, shall be paid from the Escrow Amounts in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement). If the Buyer Indemnified Party prevails in any such litigation and Seller is found to be responsible for indemnifying the Buyer Indemnified Party for the Direct Claim or Third Party Claim, all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such claim shall be paid from the Escrowed Amounts in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 6.4 Indemnification Procedure for Seller Indemnified Parties.

(a) If, subsequent to the Closing, a Seller Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim with respect to which Buyer, FTI and/or FTI LLC (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnifying Parties”) are required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall give written notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days after the Seller Indemnified Party learns of such claim (a “Seller Indemnification Notice”). If Buyer does not agree that the Third Party Claim is one for which the Buyer Indemnifying Parties are required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Party, it shall give written notice to the Seller Representative of such fact within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Seller Indemnification Notice (a “Buyer Objection Notice”). If Buyer does not give a Buyer Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the Seller Indemnification Notice, the Buyer Indemnifying Parties shall appoint counsel reasonably acceptable to the Seller Representative to defend the Third Party Claim, and thereafter shall, at their sole cost, conduct the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim. The Buyer Indemnifying Parties shall directly pay all Losses incurred in connection with the Third Party Claim (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim with respect to a Seller Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (i) if such judgment or settlement does not include an unconditional release by each claimant or plaintiff of such Seller Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, (ii) if such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law, or (iii) if as a result of such judgment or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against such Seller Indemnified Party.

(b) If, subsequent to the Closing, a Seller Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification from a Buyer Indemnifying Party for Losses related to a Direct Claim, the Seller Representative shall give to Buyer a Seller Indemnification Notice within thirty (30) days after the claim becomes known to the Seller Indemnified Party. If Buyer does not agree that the Direct Claim is one for which a Buyer Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Party, it shall give the Seller Representative a Buyer Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Seller Indemnification Notice. If Buyer does not send a Buyer Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the Seller Indemnification Notice, the Buyer Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days thereafter, shall

deliver to the Seller Representative in cash or other immediately available funds for payment to the Seller Indemnified Party an amount equal to the value of all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Party with respect to such Direct Claim.

(c) If Buyer timely sends a Buyer Objection Notice in response to any Seller Indemnification Notice related to a Third Party Claim, the Seller Indemnified Party may, at its option, appoint counsel, and conduct the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Buyer Indemnifying Parties.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding Section 10.10, each Employment Agreement is a separate agreement among the LLC Owner party to such Employment Agreement and the other parties thereto, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights and remedies of the parties to such Employment Agreement.

Section 6.9 Effect of Investigation. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses of a Buyer Indemnified Party or for other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Selling Parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation or (ii) the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of , 2005 (the “Effective Date”), between FTI Consulting, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“FTI”), and (the “LLC Owner”).

PREAMBLE

A. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the requirements of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2005 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among Cambio Health Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”); Cambio Partners, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Cambio Partners” and, together with Seller, collectively, the “Selling Parties”); the LLC Owner and each of the other individuals named in Exhibit A thereto that has executed a joinder agreement thereto; FTI; FTI, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“FTI LLC”); FTI Cambio LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of FTI (“Acquisition Sub”); and the Seller Representative (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).

B. The LLC Owner independently has developed and owns close personal and ongoing business relationships, trade secrets and knowledge in connection with Seller’s business through the personal ability, personality, reputation, skill and integrity of the LLC Owner, and other information relating thereto (“Personal Goodwill”). The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for the sale by the LLC Owner to FTI, and the purchase by FTI from the LLC Owner, of the Personal Goodwill for consideration consisting of cash and/or shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FTI (the “Common Stock”). Such shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), other than any LLC Owner Excess Shares (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), if any, of the LLC Owner (such LLC Owner Excess Shares and any securities that may be paid as a dividend or otherwise distributed with respect thereto or issued or delivered in exchange or substitution therefor, the “Excess Shares”), will initially be held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Escrow Agreement”), by and among the Seller Representative, FTI, FTI LLC, Acquisition Sub and the escrow agent thereunder (the “Escrow Agent”), to secure obligations of Seller and the LLC Owner under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

C. [As of the Effective Date, the LLC Owner is entering into an Employment Agreement (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to the requirements of the Asset Purchase Agreement.]¹

1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the LLC Owner. The LLC Owner acknowledges, represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) The LLC Owner is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

(b) The LLC Owner has full capacity, power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform his or her obligations under this Agreement and to make the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement. The LLC Owner

¹	For Senior Executives that own at least 2% of Cambio Partners’ equity (“Category A+B”) and enter into an Employment Agreement.

understands that the tax treatment and consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and the receipt by the LLC Owner of any Common Stock pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement are complicated. The LLC Owner is not relying on any statement by or information from FTI or any of its officers, directors, employees, legal counsel, agents, representatives or affiliates as to such tax treatment or consequences.

(c) As used herein, the term “Restricted Securities” means, collectively, all shares of Common Stock (or any other equity securities of FTI) that are or may be issued by FTI to the LLC Owner pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby or any securities that may be paid as a dividend or otherwise distributed thereon or with respect thereto or issued or delivered in exchange or substitution therefor, excluding in the case of all of the foregoing any Excess Shares. The LLC Owner agrees (1) not to sell, assign, transfer, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or make any offer or agreement relating to, any of the Restricted Securities and/or any option, right or other interest with respect to any Restricted Securities that the LLC Owner may acquire and (2) not to establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or increase any “call equivalent position” with respect to any Restricted Securities (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences of owning any Restricted Securities, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities, other securities, cash or other consideration (such limitations on dispositions of and relating to Restricted Securities described in the preceding clauses (1) and (2) being referred to hereinafter as the “Restrictions”), until [(A) the Restrictions with respect to such Restricted Securities shall have lapsed in accordance with Section 2 and (B)] ² such Restricted Securities shall have been released by the Escrow Agent for delivery to the LLC Owner in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) The LLC Owner has no present plan or intention to sell, transfer, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or to effect any other transaction which results in a reduction in the risk of ownership of, the Shares that the LLC Owner may acquire.

(e) The LLC Owner understands that the offer and issuance of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and that no registration statement relating to the issuance of Shares in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement has been or will be filed with the SEC or any state securities commission.

(f) The LLC Owner intends to acquire the Shares solely for his or her own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. The LLC Owner understands that, as disclosed herein, the Shares will not be registered under the 1933 Act and therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration is available. The LLC Owner has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares. The LLC Owner has not received any offering memorandum or other written materials from FTI relating to the Shares. The LLC Owner has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and has received answers to the LLC Owner’s satisfaction from, FTI concerning FTI, the Shares and other matters pertaining to an investment in the Shares. The LLC Owner has

²	For Category A+B.

completed an LLC Owner Questionnaire attached as Exhibit A and is returning such LLC Owner Questionnaire to FTI with this Agreement. The LLC Owner acknowledges that he or she has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his or her investment in the Shares (including the possible loss of the investment in the Shares), has adequate means for providing for his or her current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to the investment in the Shares.

(g) The LLC Owner acknowledges that no representations or warranties have been made to the LLC Owner in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby other than those contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The LLC Owner has determined that an investment in the Shares is a suitable investment for the LLC Owner and that at this time the LLC Owner could bear a complete loss of the investment.

(h) The LLC Owner understands that, since the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, the economic risk of investment in the Shares must be borne indefinitely by the LLC Owner unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. There is no assurance that the Shares will ever be so registered in the future. Rule 144 adopted under the 1933 Act, governing the possible disposition of the Shares, may not be available, and there is no assurance that Rule 144 will be available in the future. There is no assurance that there will be any market for resale of the Shares.

(i) The LLC Owner further acknowledges, represents, agrees and is aware that:

(i) no federal or state agency has passed upon the Shares or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment;

(ii) there are substantial risks of loss of investment incidental to the acquisition of the Shares;

(iii) the investment in the Shares is an illiquid investment and the LLC Owner must bear the economic risk of investment in FTI for an indefinite period of time; and

(iv) the representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings and acknowledgments made by the LLC Owner in this Agreement are made with the intent that they be relied upon by FTI in determining the suitability of the LLC Owner as an acquiror of the Shares, and shall survive the acquisition of the Shares. In addition, the LLC Owner undertakes to notify FTI immediately of any change or expected change in any representation, warranty or other information relating to the LLC Owner set forth herein occurring or expected to occur prior to the Effective Date.

(j) The LLC Owner has not received or responded to a general solicitation or general advertising used by FTI or any subsidiary of FTI, or their respective representatives in connection with the offer or issuance of the Shares to the LLC Owner and is not relying on FTI or any subsidiary of FTI or any of their respective officers, employees,

representatives or affiliates for legal or tax advice in connection with the acquisition of the Shares and any transactions related thereto.

(e) The LLC Owner shall have the right to vote the shares of Common Stock constituting Restricted Securities held by such LLC Owner and shall be entitled to receive any dividends that are declared and payable with respect thereto while held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement [and before and after all Restrictions lapse]¹⁷. The existence of the Restricted Securities will not affect in any way the right or authority of FTI or the holders of FTI’s voting securities to make or authorize (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in FTI’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of FTI’s capital structure or its business; (iii) any merger or consolidation of FTI; (iv) any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference equity interests ahead of or affecting the Restricted Securities or the rights thereof; (v) the dissolution or liquidation of FTI; (vi) any sale or transfer of all or any part of FTI’s assets or business; or (vii) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(f) FTI will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, at all times while the LLC Owner owns Shares the sale of which by such LLC Owner pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”) would be subject to the requirements of paragraph (c) under Rule 144, the conditions in either paragraph (c)(1) or paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 144 are satisfied. If (i) on the 182nd day after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing or on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing (each of such 182nd day or fifth (5th) anniversary, a “Trigger Date”), Rule 144 has been repealed or amended in a manner that materially adversely affects the ability of the LLC Owner to sell the Shares and (ii) the Seller Representative delivers notice to FTI (a “Registration Notice”) within 45 days after such Trigger Date requesting registration of the Shares that may be sold and are sought to be registered, then FTI shall, if Form S-3 is available under the 1933 Act, within 135 days after such Trigger Date (the “Filing Deadline”), file and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement on Form S-3 for such Shares, which registration statement may, in FTI’s sole discretion, also register such other shares of Common Stock as FTI may be required to register under the 1933 Act pursuant to notices from the Seller Representative under any Restricted Stock Agreements (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) (the “Additional Shares”). FTI agrees to maintain the effectiveness of any such registration statement for 90 consecutive days after the initial effectiveness thereof (or for such lesser time within which all of the Shares have been sold by or for the account of the LLC Owner), provided, however, that FTI shall have the option to delay the filing of any such registration statement for up to 90 days after the Filing Deadline if FTI reasonably determines that the offering of the Shares, together with the Additional Shares, would impede, delay or interfere with any financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving FTI or any of its Affiliates, or require disclosure of material information as to which disclosure at that time would not be in the best interests of FTI and its stockholders; provided, further, that FTI shall have the option to purchase, in lieu of filing such registration statement and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, any of the Shares that are the subject of a Registration Notice at the then fair market value of such Shares (which shall be equal to the number of such Shares multiplied by the average daily closing price of Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending the Business Day prior to the date of the purchase). In connection with any such registration statement, the LLC Owner agrees to cooperate with FTI and provide any necessary information in order to prepare and file such registration statement in accordance with the 1933 Act and the rules and

¹⁷	Category A+B.

regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder and to cause such registration statement to become effective under the 1933 Act.

(g) [Each capitalized term used in this Section 2 shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the same meaning as is ascribed to such term in the Employment Agreement.]¹⁸

3. Legends.

(a) The LLC Owner understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions will be given to the transfer agent for the Common Stock with respect to certificates evidencing the Shares and that there will be placed on the certificates evidencing the Shares a legend stating in substance:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAWS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO OR FOR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE 1933 ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR IN A TRANSACTION OTHERWISE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b) All certificates evidencing Shares constituting Restricted Securities shall bear an additional legend stating in substance:

THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE CORPORATION WITHOUT CHARGE UPON THE REQUEST OF ANY STOCKHOLDER. ANY SUCH REQUEST SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.

Following the release from Escrow of such Restricted Securities, upon request of the LLC Owner, FTI shall promptly remove or cause to be removed such legend [following the lapse or termination of the Restrictions in accordance with Section 2]¹⁹.

4. Employment Rights. To the extent that LLC Owner is otherwise employed by FTI or any of its subsidiaries, no provision of this Agreement or of any Restricted Securities governed hereby shall give LLC Owner any right to continue in the employ of FTI or any of its

¹⁸	For any Category A+B that enters into an Employment Agreement.

subsidiaries, create any inference as to the length of employment of LLC Owner, affect the right of FTI or of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of LLC Owner, with or without cause, or give LLC Owner any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of FTI or any of its subsidiaries.

5. Notices. Any notices, demands or other communication required to be sent or given hereunder by any of the parties shall in every case be in writing and shall be deemed properly served if (a) delivered personally to the recipient, or (b) sent to the recipient by reputable express courier service (charges paid) or mailed to the recipient by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage paid. Date of service of such notice shall be (x) the date such notice is personally delivered, (y) three (3) days after the date of mailing if sent by certified or registered mail, or (z) one (1) day after date of delivery to the overnight courier if sent by overnight courier. Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to the addresses indicated below or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient has indicated by prior written notice to the sending party in accordance with this Section 5:

6. Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect upon the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article IX thereof.

7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other.

8. Binding Agreement. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and enforceable against the parties and their successors and assigns, including administrators, executors, representatives, heirs, legatees and devisees of the LLC Owner and any pledgee holding Restricted Securities as collateral.

9. Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of any condition or of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. No delay or omission by FTI in exercising any of its rights under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by FTI on any one occasion is effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any right on any other occasion.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

11. Injunctive Relief. The restrictions set forth in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of FTI and are considered by the LLC Owner to be reasonable for such purpose. The LLC Owner agrees that any breach by the LLC Owner of any term set forth under this Agreement is likely to cause FTI substantial and irrevocable damage and, therefore, any such breach shall entitle FTI, in addition to any other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such breach or threatened breach or alleged breach or alleged threatened breach. The parties hereto understand and intend that each restriction set forth herein shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, and that the unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that the unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, will not affect the enforceability of the remaining restrictions and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. The LLC Owner hereby acknowledges that he or she is fully cognizant of the restrictions imposed upon him or her pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12. Titles; Section References. The subject headings and subheadings set forth in the sections and subsections of this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to Sections are to Sections in this Agreement.

13. Rule of Construction; Definitions. It is not intended by the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be construed against the party that has drafted all or any portion of this Agreement. Any capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents expressly referred to herein, including the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Employment Agreement, embody the complete agreement and understanding between the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

15. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, in any respect, such invalidity shall not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of any other provision or any other jurisdiction and, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, and the affected term or provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by law so as to achieve most fully the intention of this Agreement.

16. Floor Value for Excess Shares. If, on the first anniversary of the Closing (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) (the date of such first anniversary being referred to herein as the “Excess Share Valuation Date”), the “fair market value” per share of Common Stock (which, for purposes hereof, shall be deemed to be the per share closing price of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded on such first anniversary or, if such exchange is not open for trading on the Excess Share Valuation Date, the next following date on which such exchange is open for trading) (the “Excess Share Fair Market Value”) is less than the Floor Value, then the LLC Owner shall, to the extent that the LLC Owner holds Excess Shares on the Excess Share Valuation Date, be entitled to receive a special payment from FTI (the “Excess Share Special Payment Amount”) in an amount equal to product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock constituting Excess Shares owned by the LLC Owner on the Excess Share Valuation Date, multiplied by (ii) the difference obtained by subtracting the Excess Share Fair Market Value from the Floor Value; provided that the LLC Owner shall not be entitled to any Excess Share Special Payment Amount with respect to any Excess Shares as to which the LLC Owner has engaged in a sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, pledge or other disposition, or made any offer or agreement, established or increased any “put equivalent position” or liquidated or increased any “call equivalent position” (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) or otherwise entered into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences of ownership, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Excess Shares, other securities, cash or other consideration. The Excess Share Special Payment Amount, if any, shall be paid within 15 Business Days after the Excess Share Valuation Date in a lump sum in cash. For purposes of determining whether the LLC Owner shall be entitled to receive the Excess Share Special Payment Amount and the amount thereof, the Floor Value shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the Common Stock.
