have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results
of operations of Holdco and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (an "FCG Material
Adverse Effect").
(b) Authority. FCG has all requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and

rights generally or by general equity principles.
(B) On the Closing Date, FCG will be the sole record and
beneficial owner and holder of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, free and
clear of all claims, conditional sale or other title retention agreements,
covenants, encumbrances, equitable interests, liens, options, pledges, rights of

(d) No Conflicts; Consents. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by FCG does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will not conflict with, or result in
any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both)
under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of

power and authority to enter into this Agreement, that certain Registration
Rights Agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), and that certain Stockholders Agreement, in the form

proceedings required to be taken by the Investor to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Stockholders Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and properly taken. This
Agreement has been, and, at the Closing, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Stockholders Agreement will have each been, duly executed and delivered by
the Investor and each constitutes or will constitute, as applicable, a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor
in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws relating to or affecting

(c) No Conflicts; Consents. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement by
the Investor does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby and compliance by the Investor with the terms hereof and
thereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with

termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a
material benefit under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance of any kind upon any of the properties or assets of the Investor or
its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the declaration of trust,
partnership agreement, certificate of limited partnership, limited liability
company agreement, charter or by-laws of the Investor and its subsidiaries, (ii)

(d) Investment Representation. The Investor is purchasing
Preferred Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement for its own account for
investment only and not with a view towards their distribution or resale. The
Investor represents that it is an "accredited" investor within the meaning of
Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that enable it to evaluate the merits and risks of investment in the
Preferred Shares and Warrants, is able to bear the economic risk of a loss of
its entire investment therein and is prepared to hold the Preferred Shares and
the Warrants for an indefinite period of time. The Investor has received the
opportunity to ask questions, and has obtained the related answers, regarding
the business, financial condition and results of operations of Holdco, VANTAS
and Old HQ and the terms and
5

conditions of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants. The Investor has received
all of the information regarding Holdco, VANTAS and Old HQ that it has
requested. FCG has informed the Investor that the Preferred Shares and the
Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise assigned absent such registration or an exemption
therefrom. FCG has also informed the Investor that any routine sale of Preferred
Shares and Warrants made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act can be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of
such Rule and, further, that in case such Rule is not applicable to any sale of
Preferred Shares and Warrants, as applicable, resale thereof may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act prior to resale.
FCG has informed the Investor that certificates representing the Preferred
Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement bear the following legend:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
FOR SUCH SALE, OFFER, TRANSFER OR OTHER ASSIGNMENT AS SUPPORTED BY SUCH
CERTIFICATIONS, OPINIONS AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION, IF ANY, AS ARE REASONABLY
REQUESTED AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION."
4. Covenants.

under the Securities Act with respect to such offering equal to the lesser of

the defense of such action or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such
action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been reasonably
advised by such counsel that the representation of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party or there are defenses that are available to the indemnified
party that may be in conflict with or contradict those available to the
indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party).

separate firm of attorneys for all indemnified parties and all such reasonable
fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The

such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The

and judgments by reason of any settlement made by the indemnified party of any
action effected with the indemnifying party's written consent. The indemnifying
party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party,
effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with
respect to, any pending or threatened action or proceeding in respect of which
the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity may be or
