Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Reference is made to the responses to Items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Statement which are incorporated by reference in response to this Item.

In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers entered into the following additional agreements related to the Issued Shares: (i) Lock-Up Agreements, dated November 10, 2009, executed by each Seller (collectively, the “Lock-Up Agreements”), (ii) a Standstill Agreement, dated November 10, 2009, by and among the Sellers and the Issuer (the “Standstill Agreement”), (iii) a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 10, 2009, by and among the Sellers and the Issuer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and (iv) an Escrow Agreement, dated November 10, 2009, by and among Sellers, Buyers, the Issuer


and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) (the “Escrow Agreement” and together with the Registration Rights Agreement, Standstill Agreement and Lock-Up Agreements, the “Share Agreements”).

The Lock-Up Agreements provide that, from the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement until the twelve-month anniversary of the closing of the Purchase Agreement, no Seller may dispose of any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock it beneficially owns; provided, however, that the lock-up period shall automatically terminate in the event that (i) Graunke is involuntarily removed from the Board without cause for such removal prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) the failure by the Issuer’s shareholders to elect Graunke to the Board at any shareholder meeting held prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the Purchase Agreement.

The Standstill Agreement provides that, from the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement until the first anniversary of the closing of the Purchase Agreement, no Seller will, nor will it permit its affiliates to, collectively or individually, directly or indirectly, unless specifically requested in writing by the Issuer, acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock, or a direct or indirect right to acquire the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock, of the Issuer.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things, that, beginning twelve-months after the closing of the Purchase Agreement, if a demand notice is delivered by a Seller, then on or prior to the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a “resale” Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) providing for the resale of all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (“Rule 415”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that the Issuer is unable to register all of the Registrable Securities for resale under Rule 415 due to limits imposed by the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415, the Issuer will file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with the SEC covering the resale by the holders of such lesser amount of the Registrable Securities as the Issuer is able to register pursuant to the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415 and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as possible and, when permitted to do so by the SEC, to file subsequent registration statement(s) under the Securities Act with the SEC covering the resale of any Registrable Securities that were omitted from previous registration statement(s) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter.

The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Sellers with certain “piggy-back rights.” Specifically, beginning twelve-months after the closing of the Purchase Agreement, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, if at any time the Issuer shall determine to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Issuer (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Issuer, but excluding registration statements relating to (i) any employee benefit plan or (ii) a corporate reorganization, merger or acquisition), then the Issuer shall notify the Sellers in writing promptly following such filing and will afford each Seller an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Seller.

The Escrow Agreement provides that, from the date of closing of the Purchase Agreement until the first anniversary of the Purchase Agreement, 600,400 of the Consideration Shares (the “Escrow Shares”) be held in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) managed by the Escrow Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek to satisfy certain Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) by receiving a distribution of a portion of the Escrow Shares. The number of Escrow Shares to be distributed to Buyers or the Issuer for any such indemnifiable Loss shall be calculated in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. For any such indemnifiable Loss, Sellers have the option, but not obligation, to satisfy such Loss by making a cash payment equal to the amount of such Loss to the Issuer or to Buyers. If Sellers exercise such right, then within five (5) business days of Issuer’s or Buyers’ receipt of such cash payment, Buyers and Sellers shall provide Joint Written Instructions (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) to Escrow Agent to release a portion of the Escrow Shares to Archstone Consulting, on behalf of the Sellers, and such shares shall no longer be deemed Escrow Shares. The number of Escrow Shares to be released to Archstone Consulting for such cash payment shall be calculated in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Upon the first anniversary of the Purchase Agreement, any Escrow Shares remaining in the Escrow Account and not subject to a Pending Claim (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) shall be released to Sellers.

The descriptions of the Registration Rights Agreement, Standstill Agreement, Escrow Agreement and Lock-Up Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the Registration Rights Agreement, Standstill Agreement, Escrow Agreement and Form of Lock-Up Agreement which are filed as Exhibits 99.3 through 99.6 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
