W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, on October 17, 2004, Parent, EGL Acquisition Corp., a

merge with and into SEM (the "Merger") with SEM continuing as the surviving
corporation;
WHEREAS, on or prior to the closing of the Merger (the "Closing"), the
Certificate of Incorporation of Parent will be amended and restated in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Restated Parent Charter"), and
pursuant to the Restated Parent Charter, the authorized capital stock of Parent
will consist of (i) Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
("Parent Preferred Stock"), and (ii) Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share

hereto under the heading "Rollover Shares" (the "Rollover Shares"); and
WHEREAS, each of the Rollover Investors, acting severally and not
jointly, is willing to contribute such Rollover Investor's Rollover Shares to
Parent in exchange for newly issued shares of Parent Preferred Stock and Parent

conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
AGREEMENTS
----------
SECTION 1.01. Rollover. Prior to the Closing, each Rollover Investor
will enter into a stock subscription and exchange agreement with Parent, Welsh,
Carson, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx IX, L.P. and other equity investors selected by Parent,
in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the "Stock Subscription
Agreement"), and will contribute such Rollover Investor's Rollover Shares to
Parent in exchange for New Parent Shares on the terms and conditions set forth
in the Stock Subscription Agreement (each such Rollover Investor to be a
Schedule III Purchaser (as defined in the Stock Subscription Agreement)
thereunder). For purposes of each such exchange of shares of SEM Common Stock
for New Parent Shares, the
value of the shares of SEM Common Stock contributed by each Rollover Investor to
Parent shall be $18.00 per share (i.e., an amount equal to the consideration per
share of SEM Common Stock payable in the Merger).
SECTION 1.02. Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights
Agreement. As contemplated by the Stock Subscription Agreement, prior to the
Closing Date, each Rollover Investor will enter into a stockholders agreement,
in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and a registration
rights agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto, in
each case with Parent, Welsh, Carson, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx IX, L.P. and other equity
investors selected by Parent.
SECTION 1.03. Employment Agreements and Acknowledgements.
(a) At or prior to the Closing, each Rollover Investor also agrees to
enter into an amended employment agreement, which amends the terms of such
Rollover Investor's existing employment agreement and any other change of
control, severance or similar agreement with SEM (each, an "Existing Employment
Agreement") to reflect the acknowledgments and agreements set forth in clauses
(i) and (ii) of Section 1.03(b) below and such other changes as are reasonably
acceptable to such Rollover Investor and Parent.
(b) Each Rollover Investor acknowledges and agrees (i) that the Merger
and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not be treated
as a "Change of Control" under the relevant provisions of any Existing
Employment Agreement with such Rollover Investor, and (ii) to forgo any change
of control or similar payments such Rollover Investor would be entitled to
receive under such provisions, if the Merger or other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement would have been treated as such a
"Change of Control" (including any gross-up or payments for, or to reimburse
such Rollover Investor for, excise taxes resulting from such payments or other
benefits provided under such an Existing Employment Agreement or otherwise in
connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement or this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that
such provisions shall remain in effect with respect to any future Change of
Control as defined therein.
SECTION 1.04. Restrictions on Transfers. Each Rollover Investor agrees
that, without the prior written consent of Parent, it will not make any
transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition
(including by operation of law), whether directly or indirectly pursuant to the
creation of a derivative security, the grant of an option or other right or the
imposition of a restriction on disposition or voting (in each case, a
"Transfer"), of any of its Rollover Shares.

in New York County, New York, and each of the parties hereby consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding and
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding
which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party
anywhere in the world, and each party agrees that, in addition to any method of
service of process otherwise permitted by law, service of process on each party
