Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Merger Agreement
On July 6, 2011, the Issuer, Parent and Blackhawk Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of all parties, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the Merger). Upon effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding Issuer Common Share, other than shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Issuer, any of their wholly owned subsidiaries or by any shareholders who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive $8.55 in cash. Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Issuers shareholders and the receipt of required regulatory and antitrust approvals.
Voting Agreement
As a condition and inducement to Parent entering into the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2011, with Parent (the Voting Agreement) with respect to (i) the Subject Shares and (ii) any Issuer Common Shares that a Shareholder acquires direct or indirect voting power over (including by way of share dividend, share distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange or the like) after the date of the Voting Agreement until its termination in accordance with its terms (collectively, the Covered Shares).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, each Shareholder has agreed that, prior to the termination of the Voting Agreement, it shall at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), however called, vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, all of such Shareholders Covered Shares (i) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and all of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (and in favor of any actions and proposals required, or submitted for approval at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer, in furtherance thereof), (ii) against any proposal presented to the shareholders of the Issuer for approval, if the action, transaction or agreement that is the subject of such proposal, following the approval by the Issuers shareholders, would reasonably be expected, directly or indirectly, to result in a breach by the Issuer of any covenant, representation, warranty or other obligation of the Issuer set forth in the Merger Agreement, (iii) against (unless contemplated by the Merger Agreement) (A) any Competing Proposal (as defined below), (B) any nominee for election to the Issuers board of directors other than (x) a person nominated by the Issuers board of directors or any committee thereof and/or (y) Theodore G. Schwartz, or (C) any other action or proposal to be voted upon by the shareholders of the Issuer if such action or proposal would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each Shareholder also agreed not to enter into any agreement or commitment with any person, the effect of which would violate or be inconsistent with the foregoing agreements.
In addition, each Shareholder irrevocably granted Parent and Parents designees its irrevocable proxy to vote such Shareholders Covered Shares as indicated above and agreed to waive and not exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that he, she or it may have under applicable law.
Each Shareholder also agreed during the term of the Voting Agreement not to: (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, any of such Shareholders Covered Shares (except for transfers for estate planning or charitable purposes to certain affiliates of such Shareholder that agree to be bound by the Voting Agreement); (ii) acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, any material assets of the Issuer or any subsidiary or division thereof; (iii) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any solicitation of proxies (as such terms are used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) to vote, or otherwise take any action intended to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of the Issuer, other than in support of the Merger and the Merger Agreement; (iv) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for, or offer for (with or without conditions) any extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer or its securities or material assets; (v) form, join or in any way participate in a group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act) in connection with any of the foregoing; (vi) seek in any way which may be reasonably likely to require, involve or trigger public disclosure of such request pursuant to applicable law to have any
of the foregoing amended, modified or waived or (vii) otherwise take, directly or indirectly, any actions with the purpose of avoiding or circumventing any of the foregoing or which would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, impeding, interfering with or adversely affecting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or its ability to perform the Shareholders obligations under the Voting Agreement.
Each Shareholder also agreed not to, and to use his, her or its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each of his, her or its representatives and affiliates do not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or initiate, or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of providing information) any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal, (ii) participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person (other than the Issuer, any other Shareholder or any representative of such Shareholder, the Issuer or any other Shareholder) any nonpublic information with respect to, any Competing Proposal or (iii) engage in discussions with any person (other than the Issuer, any other Shareholder or any representative of such Shareholder, the Issuer or any other Shareholder) with respect to any Competing Proposal. Each Shareholder agreed that if he, she or it, or any of his, her of its representatives, at any time during the pre-closing period, received any inquiry regarding a Competing Proposal from a potential bidder or its representatives, or if any potential bidder or its representatives sought to initiate negotiations or discussions with the Shareholder related to a Competing Proposal, such Shareholder would promptly (i) advise the Issuer in writing of such Competing Proposal, inquiry or request (including the identity of the person making or submitting such Competing Proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms and conditions thereof) and (ii) provide the Issuer with copies of all documents and other written communications received by such Shareholder setting forth the terms and conditions of such Competing Proposal, inquiry or request. In addition, each Shareholder agreed to promptly inform each of his, her or its representatives and affiliates and the representatives of his, her or its affiliates of the obligations contained in the Voting Agreement and further agreed to, and agreed to ensure that his, her or its representatives and affiliates will, immediately cease and caused to be terminated any existing solicitations by such Shareholder, his, her or its representatives or affiliates, or discussions or negotiations between such Shareholder, his, her or its representatives or affiliates and any person relating to any Competing Proposal.
Each Shareholder is a party to the Voting Agreement solely in his, her or its capacity as the beneficial owner of the Subject Shares (and not in capacity as an officer or director of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries) and nothing in the Voting Agreement shall limit or affect any Shareholder who serves as a director or officer of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries in acting in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.
Competing Proposal means any bona fide proposal (other than a proposal or offer by Parent or any of its subsidiaries) relating to any direct or indirect (i) merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, whose assets individually or in the aggregate, constitute fifteen percent (15%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Issuer as determined on a book-value basis; (ii) the acquisition by any person of 15% or more of the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole as determined on a book-value basis; (iii) the acquisition by any person of 15% or more of the issued and outstanding Issuer Common Shares or (iv) any purchase, acquisition, tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 15% or more of the Issuer Common Shares or any class of equity or voting securities of its subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 15% or more of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries as determined on a book-value basis.
The foregoing summaries of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively. Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D (although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Immediately prior to the execution of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons did not beneficially own any Issuer Common Shares. However, upon execution of the Voting Agreement as of July 6, 2011, under the definition of beneficial ownership as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, each Reporting Person may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to (and therefore beneficially own) 19,993,429 Issuer Common Shares, representing approximately 37.8% of the Issuer Common Shares outstanding as of April 1, 2011. Accordingly, the percentage of the outstanding Issuer Common Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is approximately 37.8%.
Except as set forth above, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons knowledge, any of the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any Issuer Common Shares.
The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any Issuer Common Shares. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Issuer Common Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
(c) Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, neither the Reporting Persons nor any person listed in Schedule I hereof has beneficial ownership of, or has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any Issuer Common Shares.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Except as set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons and the individuals named in Schedule I and between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Section 7.8 Entire Agreement; Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, or between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the parties rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise,
without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights, interests or obligations by any party without the other parties prior written consent shall be void and of no effect; provided, however, that Parent may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, NCO Group, Inc.), so long as such assignment does not result in (a) any greater liability than any Shareholder would otherwise have had, or (b) any breach by Parent of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that, upon such assignment, Parent shall remain jointly and severally liable with its applicable Affiliate to the Shareholders for performing all of its obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship between the Shareholder, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among the parties hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Shareholder nor Parent, by entering into this Agreement, intends to form a group for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act or any other similar provision of applicable Law with Parent or any other shareholder of the Company.
Section 7.9 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability or application of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a suitable and equitable term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
Section 7.10 Certain Interpretations. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a) Unless otherwise specified, all references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections shall be deemed to refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement.
(b) The Article and Section captions herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.
(c) Unless the context otherwise requires, words describing the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa, and words denoting any gender shall include all genders.
(d) The words include, includes and including, when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words without limitation.
(e) The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
Section 7.11 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.
Section 7.12 Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shareholder Owned Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shareholder Owned Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Shareholders, and Parent shall have no authority to direct the Shareholders in the voting or disposition of any of the Shareholder Owned Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
Section 7.13 Capacity as a Shareholder. Parent acknowledges that each Shareholder has entered into this Agreement solely in his or its capacity as the record and/or beneficial owner of Company Shares (and not in capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall limit or affect any Shareholder who serves as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in acting in his or its capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any such subsidiaries, nor shall it limit or affect any Representative or Affiliate of the Company or of any of the Companys subsidiaries.
