Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) made as of the 14^th day of August, 2009 by and among Stream Global Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal office at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Stream”), EGS Corp., a Philippine corporation with its principal office at 33/F Tower One, Xxxxx Triangle, Xxxxx Avenue, Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines 1226 (the “Company”), EGS Dutchco B.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands, with its principal office at Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx 000, 0000 XX, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (“EGS Dutchco”), NewBridge International Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company with its registered office at P.O. Box 173, Kingston Xxxxxxxx, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Island (“NewBridge” and, collectively, with EGS Dutchco, the “Stockholders”).

Preliminary Statement

1. Each of the Stockholders owns the number of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, PhP1.00 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), set forth opposite its name on Schedule I attached hereto as of the date of this Agreement.

2. Stream desires to acquire, and the Stockholders desire to transfer, all of the shares of capital stock of the Company (collectively, “Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, other than the Directors’ Qualifying Shares (as defined below), for the consideration set forth below, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Stream, Ares and the Stockholders have entered on the date hereof into a Stockholders Agreement, which shall be effective as of the Closing Date (as defined below), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholders Agreement”), and an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which shall be effective as of the Closing Date, in the form attached as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND EXCHANGE

1.1 Acquisition of the Shares and Tranche B Loan from the Stockholders. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”), Stream and the Stockholders agree that the following transactions shall occur in the following order: (i) NewBridge shall contribute and/or cause its Affiliate to contribute to Stream, and Stream shall accept from NewBridge all rights of NewBridge or such Affiliate with respect to $35,840,988 in principal under the Tranche B Bridge Loan of the Company (“Tranche B Loan”), and (ii) each Stockholder shall transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Stream, and Stream shall acquire and accept from each Stockholder, all the Shares that such Stockholder owns or will own immediately prior to the

Closing as set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, as such Schedule I shall be updated by a revised Schedule I (the “Updated Schedule I”) that will be delivered to Stream by the Company at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing. The Updated Schedule I shall list and show the owners of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and Tranche B Loan immediately prior to the Closing, and may differ from the Schedule I attached to this Agreement on the date hereof only to reflect the Recapitalization and any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of Shares from a Stockholder to an Affiliate thereof or another Stockholder. In no event shall any Stockholder sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any Shares or Tranche B Loan, or any interest therein, voluntarily or by operation of law, other than transfers of Shares to an Affiliate thereof, to another Stockholder or to the Company pursuant to the Recapitalization and other than a transfer of the Tranche B Loan to NewBridge. At the Closing, (i) each Stockholder shall deliver to Stream certificate(s) evidencing all of the Shares owned by such Stockholder, duly endorsed in blank by such Stockholder, and a duly executed Deed of Assignment of Shares to evidence the conveyance of such Shares from such Stockholder to Stream (or a Subsidiary thereof), and (ii) NewBridge shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, execute and deliver all instruments reasonably necessary to transfer and assign the Tranche B Loan to Stream. In addition, each Stockholder shall execute and deliver to Stream, at the Closing, such irrevocable proxies and other agreements and instruments, in customary form, as shall be necessary for Stream (or a Subsidiary thereof) to exercise voting and other rights of a Stockholder as to the Shares acquired by it at the Closing until a Tax Clearance Certificate for such Shares in the name of Stream (or a Subsidiary thereof) is obtained from the BIR. The transactions contemplated by this Section 1.1 and Section 1.2 hereof shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange.”

“Recapitalization” means the issuance to a Stockholder by the Company of Common Shares or shares of redeemable preferred stock of the Company in exchange for Common Shares held by such Stockholder on the date hereof.

“Business day” means any day other than (i) any Saturday or Sunday, (ii) any other day on which banks located in New York, New York and/or in the Philippines generally are closed or authorized by Law to be closed for business or (iii) any other day which is declared a holiday in the Philippines.

1.2 Consideration for the Shares and Tranche B Loan. At the Closing, in consideration for its acquisition of all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (including the Directors’ Qualifying Shares which will be transferred pursuant to this Agreement to individuals designated by Stream) and in consideration for its acceptance of the Tranche B Loan, Stream shall issue and deliver to the Stockholders an aggregate of 33,653,446 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Stream (“Stream Common Stock”); provided, however, (A) upon the circumstances set forth in Section 1.2 of the Stream Disclosure Schedule, at the election of Stream or the Company, made in writing to the other no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing, Stream may issue to the Stockholders up to an aggregate of 9,800,000 shares of non-voting common stock, $0.001 per value per share, of Stream (“Stream Non-Voting Common Stock”) in substitution for an equal number of shares of Stream Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Stockholders under this Section 1.2 (which such shares of Stream Non-Voting Common Stock shall be allocated among the Stockholders on a pro rata basis according to the respective total number of shares of Stream Common Stock otherwise issuable

2

to such Stockholders under this Section 1.2), and (B) at the election of Stream, Stream may pay an aggregate of $9,990 in cash to the Stockholders in substitution for an aggregate of 1,885 shares of Stream Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Stockholders under this Section 1.2 (which such cash shall be allocated among the Stockholders on a pro rata basis on the same basis as set forth in clause (A) above). Schedule II, which shall be updated as of the Closing to reflect the Updated Schedule I, sets forth a list showing each Stockholder and the number of shares of Stream Common Stock that shall be issuable to such Stockholder. The issuance of the shares of Stream Common Stock and, if applicable, Stream Non-Voting Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.2 and pursuant to Article VIII shall not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and such shares shall bear a legend as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.3 Closing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of WilmerHale, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 at 9:00 a.m., Boston time, on the second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that are by their nature to be satisfied at Closing), unless another time, place and/or date is agreed to in writing by the Company and Stream (the “Closing Date”). The Exchange shall be deemed to occur at 9:00 a.m., Boston time, on the Closing Date.

1.4 Withholding Taxes. Each of Stream and any paying or similar agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Stockholder pursuant to this Article I such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any other applicable state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Stream or any paying or similar agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Stream or any paying or similar agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Stockholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.5 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at Stream’s request and without further consideration, each of the Stockholders shall promptly execute and deliver such instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and take all such other action as Stream may reasonably request, more effectively to transfer, convey and assign to Stream, and to confirm Stream’s title to, all of the Shares owned by such Stockholder, to put Stream in actual possession and operating control of the assets, properties and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to assist Stream in exercising all rights with respect thereto and to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Except as set forth on the disclosure schedule delivered by the applicable Stockholder to Stream on or prior to the date of this Agreement (with specific reference to the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the information stated in such disclosure relates, provided, however that, each section shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the disclosure schedule to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face that such information is relevant to such other section of the disclosure schedule) (a “Stockholder Disclosure Schedule”), each Stockholder hereby severally represents and warrants to Stream that:

(a) Title. Such Stockholder has good and marketable title to the Shares shown opposite its name on Schedule I and will, upon the Closing, have good and marketable title to all of the Shares set forth opposite its name on the Updated Schedule I (and no other Shares), which such Shares shall be transferred to Stream by such Stockholder pursuant hereto, in each case free and clear of any and all any mortgages, liens, pledges, charges, security interests, encumbrances or other adverse claims or rights of any kind in respect of such property or asset (collectively, “Liens”).

(b) Authority. Such Stockholder has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Stream at the Closing the Shares set forth opposite its name on the Updated Schedule I (and, in the case of NewBridge, the Tranche B Loan) and, upon the Closing, Stream will acquire from such Stockholder good and marketable title to such Shares, (and, in the case of NewBridge, the Tranche B Loan), free and clear of all covenants, Liens, conditions, restrictions or voting trust arrangements.

(c) No Violations. Such Stockholder is not a party to, subject to or bound by any agreement or any judgment, order, writ, prohibition, injunction or decree of any court or other governmental body which would prevent the execution or delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder or the transfer, conveyance and acquisition of the Shares to be transferred by such Stockholder to Stream pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d) Brokers and Finders. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(t) hereof, no broker or finder has acted for such Stockholder in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or other commissions in respect of such transactions based upon agreements, arrangements or understandings made by or on behalf of such Stockholder.

(e) Securities Law Matters. Such Stockholder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Stockholder is acquiring the shares of Stream Common Stock and, if applicable, Stream Non-Voting Common Stock (collectively, “Stream Stock”) at the Closing for its own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such shares in violation of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act. Such Stockholder has had adequate opportunity to obtain from representatives of Stream such

4

information about Stream as is necessary for the undersigned to evaluate the merits and risks of its acquisition of the shares of Stream Stock at the Closing. Such Stockholder has reviewed the risk factors disclosed in Stream’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and Stream’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, each as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such Stockholder has sufficient expertise in business and financial matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the acquisition of such shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such acquisition. Such Stockholder understands that the issuance of such shares has not been registered under the Securities Act and such shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and the shares cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then available.

(f) No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.1, neither such Stockholder nor any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of the Stockholder. The representations or warranties of such Stockholder therein shall be effective and binding against it notwithstanding any investigation or due diligence conducted by Stream.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND STREAM

3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the disclosure schedules delivered to Stream by the Company on or prior to the date of this Agreement (with specific reference to the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the information stated in such disclosure relates, provided, however that, each section shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the disclosure schedule to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face that such information is relevant to such other section of the disclosure schedule) (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Stream that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all other requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and (ii) is duly licensed and qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its properties and assets or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except with respect to (ii) where the failure to be so qualified as a foreign corporation or be in good standing has not and would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to Stream complete and correct copies of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ articles of incorporation and by laws (or comparable governing instruments), in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement (the “Corporate Documents”). The Corporate Documents are in full force and effect and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any of their respective provisions. Section 3.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all the

5

Subsidiaries of the Company, the jurisdictions under which such Subsidiaries are incorporated, and the percent of equity interest therein owned by the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable.

“Subsidiary” means with respect to the Company or Stream, as the case may be, any entity, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which at least a majority of the securities or ownership interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other Persons performing similar functions is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such party or by one or more of its respective Subsidiaries or by such party and any one or more of its respective Subsidiaries.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Person; provided, that, for the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

(e) eTelecare Reports; Financial Statements.

(i) The filings required to be made by eTelecare from January 1, 2007 to the date hereof under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act have been filed with the SEC and under the SRC, have been filed with the PSEC, with copy to the PSE, including all forms, statements, reports, agreements (oral or written) and all documents, exhibits, amendments and supplements appertaining thereto, and complied, as of their respective dates or as of the date of final amendment, as applicable, in all material respects with all applicable requirements of applicable Law.

None of the eTelecare Reports (in the case of the eTelecare Reports filed pursuant to the Securities Act), as of their effective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a

9

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading. None of the eTelecare Reports (in the case of the eTelecare Reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act) as of the respective dates filed with the SEC or first mailed to shareholders, as applicable, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the eTelecare Reports (in the case of the eTelecare Reports filed with the PSEC or PSE) as of the respective dates filed with the PSEC, PSE or first mailed to shareholders, as applicable, contained any untrue statement of material fact or omitted, as applicable, to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of eTelecare included or incorporated by reference into the eTelecare Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and published rules and regulations of the SEC or PSEC, as applicable, with respect thereto.

(ii) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the eTelecare Reports and the eTelecare Financial Statements (including the related notes and schedules) presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of eTelecare and its Subsidiaries as of its date, and each of the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the eTelecare Reports and the eTelecare Financial Statements (including the related notes and schedules) presents fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations, retained earnings and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of eTelecare and its Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to the absence of notes and normal year-end audit adjustments), in each case in accordance with Company Accounting Principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved. eTelecare is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the PSE. eTelecare’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) effectively enable eTelecare to comply with, and the appropriate officers of eTelecare to make all certifications required under, the United States Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and otherwise with applicable Law.

(f) Disclosure Documents. None of the information provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any document to be filed with the SEC, the PSEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Company Filings”) will, at the respective times filed with the SEC, the PSEC or other Governmental Entity, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) No Undisclosed Material Liabilities. There are no liabilities or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any kind whatsoever in existence, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, other than: (i) liabilities or obligations disclosed and provided for in eTelecare’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 included in eTelecare Financial Statements (the “eTelecare Balance Sheet”) or in the notes thereto; (ii) liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices since June 30, 2009; (iii) liabilities or obligations not required to be disclosed on the eTelecare Balance Sheet under the Company Accounting Principles; and (iv) liabilities or obligations that would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2008 (the “Audit Date”), except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have conducted their business only in the ordinary and usual course of such business consistent with past practices and there has not been (i) any Company Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary of any securities of the Company or (iii) any change by the Company in accounting principles, practices or methods which is not required by the Company Accounting Principles. Since the Audit Date, there has not been any material increase in the compensation payable or that could become payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to officers or key employees or any material amendment of any of the Compensation and Benefit Plans (as defined in Section 3.1(j)) other than increases or amendments in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(i) Litigation. There are no civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, claims, hearings, investigations, reviews or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the United States or elsewhere, that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Employee Benefits. The term “Compensation and Benefit Plan” means any (i) equity or equity-based plans and (ii) bonus, deferred compensation, pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, change in control, retention, employment, termination, severance, compensation, medical, health or other compensation or benefit plan, arrangement, document, practice, agreement, program or policy, including, without limitation, each “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that covers employees or former employees, or directors or former

11

directors; and any trust agreement or insurance contract forming a part of such Compensation and Benefit Plan, including whether the law of the U.S., the Philippines or some other country is applicable to each such plan. Section 3.1(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all Compensation and Benefit Plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries other than those that, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Company Compensation and Benefit Plans”) and any Company Compensation and Benefit Plans containing “change of control” or similar provisions therein are specifically identified in Section 3.1(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company has made available to Stream a copy of (i) all the Company Compensation and Benefit Plans or summaries thereof; (ii) the most recent annual report on Form 5500 required to be filed with respect to each Compensation and Benefit Plan; and (iii) each agreement, policy, program or arrangement that covers key employees or former key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries under which the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations have not been fully satisfied.

(i) All the Company Compensation and Benefit Plans, including those subject to ERISA and the Code, are in compliance in all material respects with the terms of such plans and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Law, including Philippine Law. Each Company Compensation and Benefit Plan that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or opinion letter from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that would cause the loss of such qualification or that would result in costs to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the IRS’s Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, in either case, that would be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. There is no material pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened litigation relating to the Company Compensation and Benefit Plans that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Pension Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired, would subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a material tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA or any applicable Law. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, with respect to any Company Compensation and Benefit Plan, no administrative investigation, audit or other administrative proceeding by any governmental agency is in progress or, to the Knowledge of the Company, pending or threatened, except for those the outcome of which would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) No liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with the Company under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (an “ERISA Affiliate”). The Company and its Subsidiaries have not incurred and do not expect to incur any withdrawal liability with respect to a multi-employer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA (regardless of whether based on the contributions of an ERISA Affiliate). No notice of a “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of

12

ERISA for which the thirty (30) day reporting requirement has not been waived or extended, other than an extension pursuant to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Reg. Section 4043.66, has been required to be filed for any Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate within the preceding twelve (12) month period.

(iii) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Company Compensation and Benefit Plan or applicable Law, have been timely made, and to the extent such payment is not required under applicable Law, it has been reflected on the eTelecare Balance Sheet in accordance with the Company Accounting Principles. Neither any Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Sections 412 or 430 of the Code or Sections 302 or 303 of ERISA and no ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(iv) Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have any material obligations for, or liabilities with respect to, post-termination health and life benefits under any Company Compensation and Benefit Plan, except for benefits required to be provided under Section 4980B of the Code or any other similar, applicable law requiring continuation of health coverage at employee (or beneficiary) expense.

(v) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, either immediately or upon the occurrence of any related event thereafter, (A) entitle any current or former employee (“Employee”), officer, manager or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay, unemployment compensation, or any other payment, (B) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting of any amount, compensation or benefit or increase the amount of compensation otherwise due any such individual, or (C) result in any portion of any payment to any such individual not being deductible by the Company.

(k) Compliance with Laws.

(i) The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all United States federal, state or local, Philippine or other foreign, state or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction, decree, arbitration award, agency requirement, license or permit or authorization of any Governmental Entity and any binding administrative or judicial interpretations thereof (individually, “Law” and collectively, “Laws”) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their properties or other assets or any of their businesses or operations, except for violations that would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and which would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or review by any Governmental Entity or assessment or any adverse procedure with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated in writing an intention to conduct the same, except for those the outcome of which would not be reasonably

13

likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries holds, or has applied for, all permits, licenses, certificates, franchises, variances, exemptions, orders and other governmental authorizations, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted (collectively, “Permits”), except for those that would not be reasonably likely to be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, either individually or in the aggregate, or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and its Subsidiaries are (and since January 1, 2007 have been) in compliance in all material respects with the terms of all Permits. Since January 1, 2007, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice to the effect that a Governmental Entity (A) claimed or alleged that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries was not in compliance with all Laws applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their properties or other assets or any of their businesses or operations or (B) was considering the amendment, termination, revocation or cancellation of any Permit, except for those that would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, result in any material harm or liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The provisions of this Section 3.1(k) shall not apply to employee benefits Laws which are covered exclusively in Section 3.1(j), Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 3.1(l)(iii)) which are covered exclusively in Section 3.1(l), Tax Laws which are covered exclusively in Section 3.1(m) or intellectual property Laws which are covered exclusively in Section 3.1(o).

(ii) eTelecare has established policies relating to gifts, entertainment and other similar benefits for customers and prospective customers (if in writing, copies of which have been provided to Stream), and, except as would not be material to eTelecare and its Subsidiaries, as a whole, neither eTelecare nor any of its Subsidiaries has, to its Knowledge, since January 1, 2007, obtained or retained business, directly or indirectly offered, paid or promised to pay, or authorized the payment of, any money or other thing of value (other than (1) any gift, entertainment or other similar benefits offered or paid in accordance with eTelecare’s policies that comply with applicable Laws, (2) any services provided to customers and prospective customers pursuant to the applicable customer contracts in eTelecare’s and its Subsidiaries’ ordinary course of business) or any commission payment to: (A) any person who is an official, officer, agent, employee or representative of any Governmental Entity; (B) any individual who is an officer, agent, employee or representative of any existing or prospective customer, in their capacity as such; (C) any political party or official thereof; (D) any candidate for political or political party office; or (E) any other individual or entity while knowing that all or any portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given, or promised, directly or indirectly, to any such individual or any such person, as applicable.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including, but not limited to, Section 3.1(k)), the representations and warranties of Company in this Section 3.1(l) constitute the sole representations and warranties of the Company with respect to any Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance.

(iii) “Environmental Law” means any United States federal, state or local, and Philippine or other foreign, national, state or local Laws, regulations, codes, rules, ordinances, Permits, authorizations, decrees, orders, injunctions or judgments and any binding administrative or judicial interpretations thereof relating to: (A) pollution; (B) the protection of the environment (including air, water, soil, subsurface strata and natural resources) or human health and safety from exposure to Hazardous Substances; and (C) the regulation of the generation, use, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, release, remediation or disposal of Hazardous Substances.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material breach or default, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have taken any action or failed to take any action which, with notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a material breach or default, or permit termination or material modification, of any of the Policies.

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of Stream and its Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all other requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and (ii) is duly licensed and qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its properties and assets or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except with respect to (ii) where the failure to be so qualified as a foreign corporation or be in good standing has not and would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Stream Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Stream has heretofore made available to the Company complete and correct copies of Stream’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ certificates of incorporation and by laws (or comparable governing instruments), in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement (the “Stream Corporate Documents”).

23

Series B Preferred Stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Stream Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

Stream and its Subsidiaries do not have outstanding any Contracts or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the shareholders of Stream or any of Stream’s Subsidiaries on any matter.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Stockholders set forth in Article II, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Stream Common Stock and the Stream Non-Voting Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Neither Stream nor any person acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of any such exemption.

(ii) Except as set forth on Section 3.2(d) of the Stream Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, any of the Stream Corporate Documents, (B) a breach or violation of, a default under, the acceleration of any obligations under, the loss of any right or benefit under, a termination or right of termination under, the creation or acceleration of any obligation under, or the creation of a Lien on the assets of Stream or any Subsidiary of Stream (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) pursuant to, any Contract of Stream or any

None of the Stream Reports (in the case of the Stream Reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act) as of the respective dates filed with the SEC or first mailed to shareholders, as applicable, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of Stream included in or incorporated by reference in the Stream Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.

(ii) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Stream Reports (including the related notes and schedules) presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stream and its Subsidiaries as of its date, and each of the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Stream Reports (including any related notes and schedules) presents fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations, retained earnings and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of Stream and its Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to the absence of notes and normal year-end audit adjustments), in each case in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved.

(iii) In the event the Closing does not occur on or prior to November 15, 2009, Stream represents and warrants to the Company and each of the Stockholders that the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2009 included in Stream’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 to be filed by Stream with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (including the related notes and schedules) will present fairly, in

(iv) Stream is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NYSE Amex. Stream’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) effectively enable Stream to comply with, and the appropriate officers of Stream to make all certifications required under, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and otherwise with applicable Law.

(f) Disclosure Documents. None of the information provided by Stream specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any document to be filed with the SEC, or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Stream Filings”) will, at the respective times filed with the SEC or other Governmental Entity, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) No Undisclosed Material Liabilities. There are no liabilities or obligations of Stream or any of its Subsidiaries of any kind whatsoever in existence, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, other than: (i) liabilities or obligations disclosed and provided for in Stream’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 included in the Stream Reports (the “Stream Balance Sheet”) or in the notes thereto; (ii) liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices since June 30, 2009; (iii) liabilities or obligations not required to be disclosed on the Stream Balance Sheet under U.S. GAAP; and (iv) liabilities or obligations that would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Stream Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Audit Date, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, Stream and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have conducted their business only in the ordinary and usual course of such business consistent with past practices and there has not been (i) any Stream Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the capital stock of Stream or any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by Stream or any Subsidiary of any securities of Stream or (iii) any change by Stream in accounting principles, practices or methods which is not required by U.S. GAAP. Since the Audit Date, there has not been any material increase in the compensation payable or that could become payable by Stream or any of its Subsidiaries to officers or key employees or any material amendment of any of the Stream Compensation and Benefit Plans (as defined in Section 3.2(j)) other than increases or amendments in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

27

(i) Litigation. There are no civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, claims, hearings, investigations, reviews or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Stream, threatened against Stream or any of its Subsidiaries in the United States or elsewhere, that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Stream Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Employee Benefits. Section 3.2(j) of the Stream Disclosure Schedule lists all Compensation and Benefit Plans of Stream and its Subsidiaries other than those that, in the aggregate, are not material to Stream and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Stream Compensation and Benefit Plans”), and any Stream Compensation and Benefit Plans containing “change of control” or similar provisions therein are specifically identified in Section 3.2(j) of the Stream Disclosure Schedules. Stream has made available to the Company a copy of (i) all the Stream Compensation and Benefit Plans or summaries thereof; (ii) the most recent annual report on Form 5500 required to be filed with respect to each Compensation and Benefit Plan; and (iii) each agreement, policy, program or arrangement that covers key employees or former key employees of Stream and its Subsidiaries under which Stream’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations have not been fully satisfied.

(i) All the Stream Compensation and Benefit Plans, including those subject to ERISA and the Code, are in compliance in all material respects with the terms of such plans and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Law, including Philippine Law. Each Stream Compensation and Benefit Plan is an “employee benefit plan” under ERISA that that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or opinion letter from the IRS, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that would cause the loss of such qualification or that would result in costs to Stream or any of its Subsidiaries under the IRS’s Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, in either case, that would be reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Stream Material Adverse Effect. There is no material pending or, to the Knowledge of Stream, threatened litigation relating to the Stream Compensation and Benefit Plans that would be reasonably likely to have a Stream Material Adverse Effect. Neither Stream nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Pension Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired, would subject Stream or any of its Subsidiaries to a material tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA or any applicable Law. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(j) of the Stream Disclosure Schedule, with respect to any Stream Compensation and Benefit Plan, no administrative investigation, audit or other administrative proceeding by any governmental agency is in progress or, to the Knowledge of Stream, pending or threatened, except for those the outcome of which would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Stream Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) No liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Stream or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with Stream under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (a “Stream ERISA Affiliate”). Stream and its Subsidiaries have not incurred and do not expect to incur any withdrawal liability with respect to a multi-employer

28

plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA (regardless of whether based on the contributions of a Stream ERISA Affiliate). No notice of a “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the thirty (30) day reporting requirement has not been waived or extended, other than an extension pursuant to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Reg. Section 4043.66, has been required to be filed for any Pension Plan or by any Stream ERISA Affiliate within the preceding twelve (12) month period.

(iii) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Stream Compensation and Benefit Plan or applicable Law, have been timely made, and to the extent such payment is not required under applicable Law, it has been reflected on the Stream Balance Sheet in accordance U.S. GAAP or International GAAP, as applicable. Neither any Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of a Stream ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Sections 412 or 430 of the Code or Sections 302 or 303 of ERISA and no Stream ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. Neither Stream nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of a Stream ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(iv) Neither Stream nor its Subsidiaries have any material obligations for, or liabilities with respect to, post-termination health and life benefits under any Stream Compensation and Benefit Plan, except for benefits required to be provided under Section 4980B of the Code or any other similar, applicable law requiring continuation of health coverage at employee (or beneficiary) expense.

(v) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, either immediately or upon the occurrence of any related event thereafter, (i) entitle any Employee, officer, manager or independent contractor of Stream or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay, unemployment compensation, or any other payment, (ii) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting of any amount, compensation or benefit or increase the amount of compensation otherwise due any such individual, or (iii) result in any portion of any payment to any such individual not being deductible by Stream.

(k) Compliance with Laws.

(i) Stream and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all Laws applicable to Stream or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their properties or other assets or any of their businesses or operations, except for violations that would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of the Stream to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and which would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Stream Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or review by any Governmental Entity or assessment or any adverse procedure with respect to Stream or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of Stream, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated in writing an intention to conduct the same, except for those the outcome of which would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Stream Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially impair the ability of Stream to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

29

Stream and each of its Subsidiaries holds, or has applied for, all Permits necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted, except for those that would not be reasonably likely to be material to Stream and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, either individually or in the aggregate, or materially impair the ability of Stream to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Stream and its Subsidiaries are (and since January 1, 2007 have been) in compliance in all material respects with the terms of all Permits. Since January 1, 2007, neither Stream nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice to the effect that a Governmental Entity (i) claimed or alleged that Stream or any of its Subsidiaries was not in compliance with all Laws applicable to Stream or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their properties or other assets or any of their businesses or operations or (ii) was considering the amendment, termination, revocation or cancellation of any Permit, except for those that would not be reasonably likely to, either individually or in the aggregate, result in any material harm or liability to Stream or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The provisions of this Section 3.2(k) shall not apply to employee benefits Laws which are covered exclusively in Section 3.2(j), Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 3.1(l)(iii)), which are covered exclusively in Section 3.2(l), Tax Laws which are covered exclusively in Section 3.1(m) or intellectual property Laws which are covered exclusively in Section 3.2(o).

Stream maintains for itself and its Subsidiaries Policies covering the assets, business, equipment, properties, operations, employees, directors and officers, and product warranty and liability claims, and such other forms of insurance in such amounts, with such deductibles and against such risks and losses as, in its judgment, are reasonable for the business and assets of Stream and its Subsidiaries, such Policies are in full force and effect, all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid, and Stream and its Subsidiaries are otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Policies except for failures to so comply that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Stream Material Adverse Effect. Neither Stream nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material breach or default, and neither Stream nor any of its Subsidiaries have taken any action or failed to take any action which, with notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a material breach or default, or permit termination or material modification, of any of the Policies.

The Company and Stream each agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform the individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence hereof of the obligations undertaken by it in this Section 5.2(a).

“Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal, offer, agreement-in-principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, option agreement, partnership agreement or other similar instrument with or from any third party relating to any (i) merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, amalgamation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving a party or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) acquisition, sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or purchase, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of a minimum of 20% or more of the assets of a party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or of a minimum of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock or any other voting securities of a party, or (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that, if successful, would result in any Person or “group” becoming a “beneficial owner” (as such terms are defined under Regulation 13D under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock or any other voting securities of a party; provided, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.2(a) to the contrary, prior to the time at which Stream obtains the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the board of directors of Stream may, subject to compliance with this Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.2(c):

(i) engage in discussions or negotiations with any third party that has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, unsolicited, written Acquisition Proposal that the board of directors of Stream determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, constitutes, or would be reasonably expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal (as defined below); provided that, prior to taking any such action, the board of directors of Stream determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and an internationally recognized financial advisor that its failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided, further, that such Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal was not solicited, encouraged or facilitated in violation of Section 5.2(a) or any standstill agreement;

(ii) thereafter, furnish to such third party non-public information relating to Stream or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms

44

no less restrictive on such third party (including with respect to standstill provisions) than those of its Confidentiality Agreement with the Company (a copy of which shall be provided, promptly after its execution, to the Company for its informational purposes only, the terms and existence thereof shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations imposed on the Company in the Confidentiality Agreement); provided, that such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiation with Stream; provided, further, that any such information delivered to such third party shall be provided to the Company substantially concurrently with its delivery to such third party;

(iii) following receipt of a Superior Proposal after the date of this Agreement, but prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, make a Stream Adverse Recommendation Change if (A) Stream has received a bona fide, unsolicited, written Acquisition Proposal that the board of directors of Stream determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and an internationally recognized financial advisor, constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) such Superior Proposal was not received as a direct or indirect result of a breach of this Section 5.2 and Stream is not otherwise in breach of this Section 5.2 with respect to the Superior Proposal and the board of directors of Stream determines in good faith, after reviewing applicable Law, and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and an internationally recognized financial advisor that its failure to make such a Stream Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided, however, that the board of directors of Stream shall not make such Stream Adverse Recommendation Change unless (x) Stream promptly notifies the Stockholders in writing at least five (5) business days (or three (3) business days in the event of each subsequent material revision to a Superior Proposal) before taking that action, of its intention to do so in response to an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, attaching the most current version of any proposed agreement or a detailed summary of the material terms of any such proposal and the identity of the offeror, (y) during such five business day period (or three business day period in the event of each subsequent material revision to a Superior Proposal), Stream, if requested by the Stockholders, negotiates with the Stockholders in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Stream to proceed with its recommendation of this Agreement and the Exchange and not make a Stream Adverse Recommendation Change, and (z) the Stockholders fail to make, within such five business day period (or three business day period in the event of each subsequent material revision to a Superior Proposal), a firm offer that is at least as favorable to the stockholders of Stream, as determined by Stream’s board of directors in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and an internationally recognized financial advisor after taking into account any such adjusted terms as may have been proposed by the Stockholders since its receipt of such written notice, as such Superior Proposal (it being understood that Stream shall not take any action described in this clause (iii) of Section 5.2(b) during such five business day period (or three business day period in the event of each subsequent material revision to a Superior Proposal), and that any material amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from Stream and an additional three business day period). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Stream shall not be entitled to enter into any agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 5.2(b)(ii)) with respect to a Superior Proposal unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Article VII; and

45

(iv) make a Stream Adverse Recommendation Change if the board of directors of Stream determines, after consultation with legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law.

“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal (with all of the percentages included in the definition of Acquisition Proposal increased, solely for purposes of this definition, to 66.67%), that is on terms that Stream’s board of directors has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and an internationally recognized financial advisor, and after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, including the type of consideration and the availability of financing therefor is more favorable and superior to the stockholders of Stream than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from a financial point of view, and which Stream’s board of directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and an internationally recognized financial advisor, is reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed without unreasonable delay.

(c) From and after the date hereof, Stream shall advise the Company orally and in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (in each case as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 24 hours from initial receipt or occurrence), specifying the material terms and conditions thereof. Stream agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits it from providing such information to the Company. From and after the date hereof, Stream shall notify the Company (as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 24 hours from initial receipt or occurrence) orally and in writing of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of any Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.

(d) Stream further agrees that it will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than the Company) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all copies of confidential information previously provided to such parties by Stream, its Subsidiaries or Representatives, subject to the terms of any applicable confidentiality agreement with such party.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the board of directors of Stream and/or the board of directors of the Company and/or eTelecare from making any disclosure or filing, in their respective reasonable judgments, as applicable, the failure of which to so disclose would constitute a violation of applicable Law (including the rules and regulations promulgated under the United States federal securities laws and the Philippines securities laws), FINRA rules, stock exchange rules or the rules, regulations, order or request of any Governmental Entity (including the SEC and the PSEC), including, following receipt of a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or otherwise making disclosure to its shareholders.

46

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any material violation of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 5.2 by Stream (or its Subsidiaries’) agents and other representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.2 by Stream.

5.3 Further Assurances. Each party hereby agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to perform any further acts and to execute and deliver any documents which may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

5.4 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) Each party hereto shall file or cause to be filed with (i) the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice any notifications required to be filed under the HSR Act and (ii) the appropriate Governmental Entity, any Ares Foreign Antitrust Filings or Stream Foreign Antitrust Filings, in each case in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the relevant Law, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) The Company and Stream shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as soon as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and using their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable all Company Required Statutory Approvals or Stream Required Statutory Approvals, as the case may be, and all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party (including pursuant to any Company Material Contract or Stream Material Contract or applicable Law) in order to consummate the Exchange or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information and the preservation of any applicable attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, self-audit privilege or other similar privilege, Stream and Company shall have the right to review and comment on in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information relating to Stream or Company, as the case may be, and any of Company’s or Stream’s respective Subsidiaries, that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Stream and Company, and thereafter, Company (with respect to itself and eTelecare) and Stream each shall consult with the other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall obtain the other party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) prior to making any such announcement or filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or national market system on which such party’s securities are listed or traded.

5.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Stream shall not, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, take any action to alter or impair any exculpatory or indemnification provisions now existing in the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws or comparable governing documents of the Company or its

48

Subsidiaries for the benefit of any individual who served as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Closing, except for any changes which may be required to conform with changes in applicable Law and any changes which do not affect the application of such provisions to acts or omissions of such individuals prior to the Closing.

(b) From and after the Closing, Stream agrees that it will, and will cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to, indemnify and hold harmless each individual serving as a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law (and Stream and the Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, provided the individual to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such individual is not entitled to indemnification).

(c) For a period of six years after the Closing, Stream shall maintain, or shall cause the Company to maintain (to the extent available in the market) in effect a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a copy of which has been heretofore delivered to Stream) with coverage in amount and scope at least as favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage; provided, that in no event shall Stream or the Company be required to expend annually in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (the “Maximum Amount”). If, notwithstanding the use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Stream is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this paragraph, Stream shall obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Maximum Amount. The Indemnified Parties may be required, as a condition for obtaining such coverage, to make reasonable application and provide reasonable and customary representations and warranties to applicable insurance carriers for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

(d) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 5.6 shall be in addition to any right such Person might have under the articles of incorporation or by-laws or comparable documents of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The provisions of this Section 5.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their respective heirs and representatives.

If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Exchange, or the other transactions contemplated hereby, each of Company and Stream and their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable hereafter on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

5.9 Notification of Certain Matters. Company shall give prompt notice to Stream and Stream shall give prompt notice to Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Exchange or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Exchange, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to Company or Stream, (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Exchange, (iii) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause any representation or warranty made by such party contained in this Agreement to be breached such that the breach, together with all other breaches of this Agreement, provides a right of termination under Article VII; and (iv) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not (x) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (y) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice. Company shall give Stream the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against Company and/or its directors relating to the Exchange, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Stream’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Stream shall give the Company the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against Stream and/or its directors relating to the Exchange, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

5.13 PSEC Exemptive Relief; Mandatory Tender Offer.

(a) The parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to seek from the PSEC exemptive relief, in writing, from compliance with any possible mandatory tender offer requirements under the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations, such relief being to the effect that a tender offer with respect to the common shares of eTelecare (any such offer, an “Offer”) need not be conducted in connection with the Exchange. In the event that such exemptive relief is not obtained, or such relief is obtained but contains conditions that would materially and adversely affect Stream or eTelecare after the Closing and either the Company or Stream is unwilling to accept such conditions, the parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to seek from the PSEC, (i) exemptive relief or approval to close the Exchange prior to commencement or completion of any Offer, (ii) confirmation from the PSEC that any Offer does not need to include any eTelecare Shares held by the Company or EGS Acquisition Corp., (iii) exemptive relief or approval that any Offer consideration may be cash only, and (iv) such other exemptive relief or approval that the parties agree is reasonable in the circumstances.

(b) Provided that (i) this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VII hereof, and (ii) (1) the PSEC shall have provided, in writing, a

51

formal opinion that an Offer is required under applicable Law in connection with the Exchange, or (2) the PSEC shall have denied, in writing, exemptive relief from compliance with any possible mandatory tender offer requirements under the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations, or (3) the PSEC shall have granted such exemptive relief but such relief contains conditions that would materially and adversely affect Stream or eTelecare after the Closing and either Stream or the Company is unwilling to accept such conditions, then Stream (the “Offeror”) shall, within the meaning of the SRC, commence an Offer in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.13 and, if applicable, any mechanics, terms and conditions prescribed by the PSEC at a price to be determined by Stream, in consultation with the Company, and in compliance with the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations (the “Offer Price”), provided that provision may be made for deduction from the Offer Price of any stock transaction taxes and/or capital gains taxes, brokers’ fees (including value added tax thereon) and any other costs customarily borne by sellers in transactions of such type. The Offeror shall conduct any Offer in accordance with the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations. The Offeror shall use reasonable efforts to consummate any Offer, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The Stockholders and the Company shall cooperate and give all reasonable assistance to the Offeror to comply with the foregoing provisions, including promptly and accurately providing to the Offeror any and all information and documents pertaining to the Stockholders and/or the Company reasonably requested by the Offeror for this purpose.

(c) In the event that (i) (1) the PSEC states, in writing, that the Exchange should not close prior to the commencement or closing of any Offer, or (2) the PSEC denies or disapproves, in writing, the exemptive relief or application to close the Exchange prior to commencement or completion of any Offer, then the Offeror shall commence the Offer prior to the Closing of the Exchange in accordance with the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations, and (ii) the PSEC states, in writing, that the Exchange may be conducted subsequent to the closing of the Exchange, then the Offeror shall commence the Offer following the Closing of the Exchange in accordance with the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations (such date on which such Offer commences, the “Launch Date”). In the event that, in connection with an Offer, the PSEC requires that the consideration for the Offer shall include Stream Common Stock, then the Offer Price shall include such amount of Stream Common Stock to be determined by Stream, in consultation with the Company and in compliance with the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations (“Offered Stream Common Shares”), provided that provision may be made for deduction from the Offer Price of any stock transaction taxes and/or capital gains taxes, brokers’ fees (including value added tax thereon) and any other costs customarily borne by sellers in transactions of such type. In such a case, the period within which to launch the Offer shall be counted from the date the PSEC shall have provided (i) written confirmation of exemption from registration under the SRC of the Offered Stream Common Shares, or (ii) written declaration of the effectivity of the Registration Statement of the Offered Stream Common Shares, as the case may be.

(d) If, for any reason whatsoever, any Offer is required for all the outstanding eTelecare Shares held by all stockholders of eTelecare (including EGS Acquisition Corp. or the Company, as the case may be), the Company hereby covenants that it will not, and the Company and the Stockholders agree that they shall cause EGS Acquisition Corp. not to, participate in the Offer by selling or offering its eTelecare Shares for sale to, or requiring, the Offeror to purchase any eTelecare Shares it may own at the time of the Offer.

52

(e) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Offeror shall not, without the consent of the Company, decrease the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, decrease the number of eTelecare Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, impose additional conditions to the Offer, or amend any other term of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of eTelecare Shares. The parties agree that the Offer shall remain open until the date that is twenty (20) Philippines business days after the Launch Date, or such later date that such parties agree to in accordance with the SRC and its implementing rules and regulations.

5.14 De Facto Merger. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Stream and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange to qualify, and will not take any actions, or fail to take any action, which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Exchange from qualifying, as a de facto merger of each of EGS Dutchco and NewBridge into Stream under Section 40(C)(6)(b) of the Philippines Tax Code. Each of Stream and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to enable the Company to obtain a ruling from the BIR to the effect that the Exchange shall qualify as a de facto merger of each of EGS Dutchco and NewBridge into Stream under Section 40(C)(6)(b) of the Philippines Tax Code.

5.15 Code Section 338(g) Election. Stream and each of the Stockholders acknowledge that, for United States federal income Tax purposes, the Exchange will constitute a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code. Stream and each of the Stockholders shall report the Exchange accordingly, to the extent required by the Code or the regulations thereunder. Stream and each of the Stockholders acknowledge that, following the Exchange, Stream may file an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the Company.

5.16 Guarantee and Reimbursement Agreement. Stream shall not make, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to make, from the date hereof, any request to Ares or its affiliates for a standby letter of credit, guarantee or other form of credit support pursuant to Section 1 of the Guarantee and Reimbursement Agreement dated as of March 2, 2009, by and among Ares, Stream and certain of Stream’s Subsidiaries named therein.

5.17 Interim Financial Statements. In the event the Closing does not occur on or prior to November 15, 2009, on November 15, 2009 the Company shall (a) cause eTelecare to furnish to Stream unaudited consolidated financial statements of eTelecare for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 prepared in accordance with PFRC, and (b) furnish to Stream unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Stream shall file with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act on a timely basis, but not later than November 15, 2009, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.

5.18 Tranche C Bridge Loan and Tranche D Bridge Loan. As long as the Tranche C Bridge Loans of the Company (the “Tranche C Loans”) and/or the Tranche D Bridge Loans of the Company (the “Tranche D Loans”), currently totaling $28 million in principal amount, are outstanding, Stream shall maintain in a restricted bank account an amount of cash equal to 50% of the then outstanding balance of the Tranche C Loans and the Tranche D Loans. In the event the combined companies’ debt, including the Tranche C Loans and the Tranche D Loans, is not refinanced at the Closing, the Tranche C Loans and the Tranche D Loans shall be amended at Closing to provide for repayment of such loans at the earlier of the refinancing of the combined companies and December 18, 2009.

53

5.19 Incentive Plan. Stream shall, upon the Closing, amend the Stream Stock Plan so that it covers a total of 10 million shares of Stream Common Stock.

5.20 VCOC Letter. Upon the Closing, Stream shall execute and deliver to each of EGS Dutchco and NewBridge a letter substantially equivalent to its letter agreement with Ares dated August 7, 2008 relating to certain information rights, as such letter agreement may be amended as of the Closing.

(b) by either Stream or the Company if the Exchange shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2009, which such date may be extended to a date no later than February 28, 2010 at the written election of either Stream or the Company if, but only if, the only conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI that have not been satisfied or duly waived on or before December 31, 2009 are those set forth in Section 6.1(b) and/or 6.1(g) (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that are by their nature to be satisfied at Closing) (as so extended, the “Outside Date”) (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Exchange to occur on or before the Outside Date); or

(c) by either Stream or the Company if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Exchange; or

(d) by the Company or any Stockholder if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained within sixty (60) minutes after the execution of this Agreement;

(e) by Stream, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (other than those referred to elsewhere in this Section 7.1) on the part of the Company or any of the Company Stockholders, which breach (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b) not to be satisfied, and (ii) shall not have been cured, or is not capable of being cured, within 10 days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach from Stream (or, if earlier, the Outside Date); or

58

(f) by the Company, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (other than those referred to elsewhere in this Section 7.1) on the part of Stream, which breach (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or (b) not to be satisfied, and (ii) shall not have been cured, or is not capable of being cured, within 10 days following receipt by Stream of written notice of such breach from the Company (or, if earlier, the Outside Date).

7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Stream, the Company, the Company Stockholders or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates, provided that (i) any such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any Knowing and Material Breach of this Agreement (which includes without limitation the making of any representation or warranty by a party in this Agreement that the party knew was not true and accurate when made) and (ii) the provisions of Section 5.5 (Publicity), Section 5.7 (Expenses), this Section 7.2 and Article IX (Miscellaneous) of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreements shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 7.2, a “Knowing and Material Breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an action undertaken by the breaching party where the actual knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would be reasonably expected to lead to a termination right under Section 7.1 of this Agreement.

59

8.2 Indemnification by Stream. Stream shall indemnify the Stockholders in respect of, and hold them harmless against, in proportion to their respective ownership of the Shares immediately prior to the Closing, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Stockholders resulting from, relating to or constituting a failure of any representation or warranty made by Stream in Sections 3.2(b), 3.2(c), 3.2(d), 3.2(e)(ii), 3.2(k)(i), 3.2(m) and/or 3.2(t) of this Agreement, or any covenant made by Stream in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date (other than in the case of representations and warranties made as of a particular date, which shall be true and correct as of such date), or any breach of any covenant made by Stream in this Agreement.

“Damages” means: (i) in respect of a claim for breach of Section 2.1, 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.2(b) and/or 3.2(c), any and all liabilities, obligations and losses, (ii) in respect of a claim for breach of Section 3.1(d), 3.1(e)(ii), 3.1(k)(i), 3.1(m) 3.1(t), 3.2(d), 3.2(e)(ii), 3.2(k)(i), 3.2(m) and/or 3.2(t) and/or any covenant made by a Stockholder, the Company or Stream in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 of this Agreement, the diminution in the equity value of the Company or Stream, as the case may be, attributable to such breach, measured retroactively as of the Closing Date, and (iii) in respect of any claim covered by clause (i) or (ii), an additional amount equal to any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnification claim (or any third party action giving rise to such claim), including court costs, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other experts, and other reasonable expenses of litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceedings.

“Indemnitee” means the party seeking indemnification under this Article VIII.

“Indemnifying Party” means the party from whom the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under this Article VIII.

8.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VIII, an Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) that contains (i) a description of the Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnitee and the amount thereof (the “Claimed Amount”), to the extent then known, (ii) a statement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for indemnity in the amount of such Damages.

(b) Within twenty (20) days after delivery of Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written response (the “Response”), in which the Indemnifying Party shall either agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for the Claimed Amount or dispute that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for the Claimed Amount.

(c) During the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a dispute as to indemnification (a “Dispute”), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee

60

shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then they shall agree upon the forum and rules for such arbitration. The provisions of this Section 8.3(c) shall not obligate the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee to arbitrate a Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.5 of the Agreement.

8.4 Survival. All representations and warranties that are covered by the indemnification agreements in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 (other than representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 3.1(b), 3.1(m), 3.2(b) and 3.2(m)) and the covenants of the parties in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement shall, solely for purposes of this Article VIII, survive the Closing and expire on the date 12 months after the Closing. All representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 3.1(b) and 3.2(b) shall, solely for purposes of this Article VIII, survive the Closing indefinitely, and all representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1(m) and 3.2(m) shall, solely for purposes of this Article VIII, survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All other representation and warranties that are not covered by the indemnification agreements in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 (other than that set forth in Section 8.6(c)) shall expire immediately following the Closing. All the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement (other than covenants contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement) shall survive the Closing indefinitely. If an Indemnitee delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation, warranty or covenant, a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation, warranty or covenant, then the applicable representation, warranty or covenant shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of any claims arising from or related to the matter covered by such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement shall expire (other than with respect to a then pending Claim Notice as provided in the preceding sentence) upon the earlier of (i) a Change of Control (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and (ii) a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

8.5 Limitations; Remedy.

(a) Except as provided for in Section 9.13 of this Agreement, other than in instances of fraud or intentional misrepresentations, following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the covenants contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement by any party shall be indemnification under this Article VIII and the settlement or payment of such indemnity claim shall be as follows:

(i) If Stream is entitled to indemnification for Damages under this Article VIII, then the Stockholder or Stockholders obligated to provide such indemnity under Section 8.1 shall forfeit to Stream, for no consideration, such aggregate number of shares of Stream Common Stock equal to the amount of Damages divided by $5.30.

61

(ii) If the Stockholders are entitled to indemnification for Damages under this Article VIII, then Stream shall issue to the Stockholders, in proportion to their relative ownership of the Shares upon the Closing, for no additional consideration, such aggregate number of shares of Stream Stock so that, following such issuance, the shares of Stream Stock held by the Stockholders, calculated retroactively as of the Closing Date and before giving effect to any acquisitions or dispositions of shares of Stream Stock after the Closing Date, shall represent the percentage of the total number of shares of Stream Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing (after taking into account the issuance of the additional shares of Stream Stock under this Section 8.5(a)(ii)) equal to: (A) the number of shares of Stream Stock held by the Stockholders upon the Closing, divided by (B) (i) the aggregate number of shares of Stream Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing (without taking into account the issuance of the additional shares of Stream Stock), less (ii) the amount of Damages divided by $5.30. The Stockholders shall be deemed to have reconfirmed as to such additional shares the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1(e) of this Agreement, and such additional shares shall contain the restrictive legend set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than in instances of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (i) the maximum number of shares of Stream Common Stock that the Stockholders collectively, on one hand, and Stream, on the other hand, shall be required to forfeit or issue pursuant to this Article VIII shall be such the number of shares of Stream Common Stock sufficient to provide indemnification for up to $50,000,000 of Damages (if Stream is the Indemnified Party) and $65,000,000 of Damages (if the Stockholders are the Indemnified Party), other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 3.1(b) and 3.2(b) of this Agreement; (ii) the Stockholders and Stream shall be responsible for indemnification hereunder only if, and to the extent that, the aggregate Damages for which they or it, respectively, are responsible exceeds $10,000,000 (if Stream is the Indemnified Party) or $13,000,000 (if the Stockholders are the Indemnified Party), other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 3.1(b), 3.1(m), 3.2(b) and 3.2(m) and the covenants contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement, and (iii) with respect to the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(m) and 3.2(m), the Stockholders and Stream shall be responsible for indemnification hereunder only if, and to the extent that, the aggregate Damages for which they or it, respectively, are responsible exceeds $2,000,000 (if Stream is the Indemnified Party) or $2,600,000 (if the Stockholders are the Indemnified Party).

(c) All per share amounts and share numbers in this Article VIII shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or similar event affecting the Stream Common Stock. In the event that Stream is party to a merger or recapitalization in which all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of Stream Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into shares of a different class of capital stock or shares of capital stock of another entity, then Stream or the Stockholders, as the case may be, shall thereafter be required to issue or transfer, in lieu of shares of Stream Common Stock, the shares of such different or other class of capital stock for or into which such shares of Stream Common Stock have been exchanged or converted.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any party be required to make any cash payment to any other party pursuant to this Article

62

VIII, and the sole and exclusive remedy for any indemnification claim for Damages shall be as set forth in Section 8.5(a), except as provided for in Section 9.13 of this Agreement and other than in instances of fraud or intentional misrepresentations.

(e) No Stockholder shall have the right of contribution against the Company or Stream with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, neither the Stockholders on one hand, nor Stream, on the other hand, shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any breach of the representations set forth in Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b) and 8.1 (c) if (A) such breach is attributable to events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Agreement; provided that such breach is not an intentional breach, (B) the breaching party notifies the other party to this Agreement of such breach, in writing, prior to the Closing and acknowledges, in writing, that such breach entitles the other party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) or 7.1(f), as the case may be, and (C) the other party does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) or 7.1(f), as the case may be.

(g) Any forfeiture or issuance of shares of Stream Common Stock pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the consideration paid by Stream for the Shares.

8.6 Taxes.

(a) In the event that the value of the total consideration received by EGS Dutchco in respect of its Shares (the “Providence Share Consideration”) is finally determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be more than the greater of (X) the amount realized in respect of EGS Dutchco’s Shares as reported by Providence Equity Partners VI International L.P. on its Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 for the tax year that includes the Closing Date (the “Providence Return”) and (Y) 71,801,975, Stream shall pay to EGS Dutchco or its designee, within five (5) business days after written notice to Stream of such determination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the quotient of (i) all Taxes resulting from such determination (assuming that all gains recognized by EGS Dutchco are subject to income tax at a rate of 45%), divided by (ii) 0.55, but in no event shall Stream be required to pay to EGS Dutchco and its designees pursuant to this Section 8.6(a) more than $7,500,000.

(b) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service proposes an adjustment to the reported value of the Providence Share Consideration in the course of any audit or examination of the Providence Return by the Internal Revenue Service, EGS Dutchco will promptly notify Stream of such proposed adjustment, provided that the failure by EGS Dutchco to promptly notify Stream shall relieve Stream of its obligations under Section 8.6(a) only to the extent that Stream’s ability to contest such adjustment is actually prejudiced by such failure. Following such proposed adjustment, Stream shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in such audit or examination, and EGS Dutchco shall not settle or compromise such proposed adjustment without the prior written consent of Stream, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall EGS Dutchco or any of its direct or indirect owners be required to litigate with any Taxing Authority with respect to any such adjustment or proposed adjustment.

63

(c) EGS Dutchco represents and warrants that its adjusted tax basis in its Shares for United States federal income tax purposes is not less than $71,801,975.

9.7 Entire Agreement; No Other Representations. This Agreement (including any annexes, schedules and exhibits hereto), all Stockholder Disclosure Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Stream Disclosure Schedule, the Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2009, between Stream and Providence Equity L.L.C. and the Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2009, between Stream and LiveIt Investments Limited (the “Confidentiality Agreements”) constitute the entire agreement by and among the parties hereto and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER STREAM NOR THE COMPANY OR THE STOCKHOLDERS MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND EACH HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ADVISORS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXCHANGE, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

67

9.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than with respect to the matters set forth in Section 5.6 (Indemnification), this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

9.9 Obligations of Stream and of Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Stream to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Stream to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

9.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

9.11 Interpretation. The table of contents and headings 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. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All references to “$” shall be to United States Dollars. All references to “PhP” shall be to Philippine Pesos.

9.12 Assignment. Except as set forth below, this Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Stream may designate, by written notice to Company, another wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Stream, to be an acquirer of the Shares from the Stockholders in the Exchange in lieu of Stream, so long as such designation would not reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining any Stream Required Statutory Approval or Company Required Statutory Approval or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) significantly increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Exchange, (iii) significantly increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise or (iv) materially delay the consummation of the Exchange or the transactions contemplated hereby. If the requirements of the previous sentence are met and Stream wishes to designate another wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary to be a purchaser in the Exchange in lieu of Stream, then, all references herein to Stream shall be deemed references to such other entity, except that, as of the date of such designation, such Subsidiary shall be considered a “Subsidiary” for purposes of all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Stream.

68

If a Stockholder transfers any of its Shares or any of its shares of Stream Stock to an Affiliate thereof, such Stockholder shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Affiliate and, concurrently with such transfer, shall cause such Affiliate to execute and deliver to Stream an instrument, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Stream, pursuant to which such Affiliate shall become a party hereto, be bound hereby and be deemed a “Stockholder” for all purposes of this Agreement, from and after such assignment, with respect to the shares of Stream Stock transferred to it to the same extent as such transferring Stockholder was prior to such assignment. Such transferring Stockholder shall remain liable and obligated hereunder (jointly and severally with such Affiliate) for all of the obligations under this Agreement assigned to such Affiliate (unless such Stockholder merges with or is liquidated into such Affiliate).

9.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Company, the Stockholders or Stream, as the case may be, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Stream, the Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
