This STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made effective as of November
5, 2003, by and among Aegis Communications Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), Questor Partners Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(“Fund II”), Questor Side-by-Side Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Side-By-Side Fund”), Questor Side-by-Side Partners II 3(c)(1),
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “3(C)(1) Fund”, and together with Fund
II and the Side-by-Side Fund, “Questor”), Thayer Equity Investors III, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (“Thayer Equity”), TC Co-Investors, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“TC Co-Investors”, and together with Thayer Equity,
“Thayer” and together with Questor, the “Existing Stockholders”), Deutsche Bank
AG – London acting through DB Advisors, LLC as investment advisor (“DB”) and
Essar Global Limited (“Essar”) (DB and Essar, collectively, the “New
Stockholders”).  The Existing Stockholders and New Stockholders are herein
referred to collectively as the “Stockholders.”  Capitalized terms used herein
without definition are defined in Section 18.

 

The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.               SALES TO THIRD PARTIES.

 

1.1        SALES TO THIRD PARTIES.  Any Stockholder may Transfer all or a
portion of its Equity Securities to a third party, provided that such Transfer
is made in compliance with the provisions of Section 1.2 (Right of First Offer)
and Section 6.4 (Agreements to Be Bound).  Any Stockholder may Transfer all or a
portion of its Equity Securities to an Affiliate, provided that such Transfer is
made in compliance with Section 6.4 (Agreements to Be Bound).  For the purposes
of Section 1.2, a Transfer to a “third party” shall not include a Transfer to
any New Stockholders Assignee or Existing Stockholders Assignee or a Transfer in
a Public Sale (it being understood that there shall be no restriction on any
Transfer in a Public Sale).

 

1.2        RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.  (a)  PROCEDURE.  If any Existing Stockholder
(the “Selling Stockholder”) desires to Transfer any Equity Securities (other
than any Transfers referred to in the second or final sentence of Section 1.1),
then prior to Transferring such Equity Securities to any third party or parties,
the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to each of the New Stockholders a letter
(the “Sale Notice”) signed by it setting forth:

 

(I)                                     THE NUMBER OF EQUITY SECURITIES SUCH
SELLING STOCKHOLDER WISHES TO TRANSFER;

 

(II)                                  THE MATERIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON WHICH
SUCH SELLING STOCKHOLDER WISHES TO TRANSFER SUCH SHARES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE PURCHASE PRICE PER SECURITY OF EQUITY SECURITIES; AND

 

(III)                               SUCH SELLING STOCKHOLDER’S OFFER
(IRREVOCABLE BY ITS TERMS FOR 15 DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT) TO TRANSFER TO THE NEW
STOCKHOLDERS ALL (BUT NOT LESS THAN ALL) OF SUCH EQUITY SECURITIES, FOR A
PURCHASE PRICE AND ON THE OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN SUBPARAGRAPH
(II) OF THIS SECTION 1.2(A).

 

Within 15 days of receipt of the Sale Notice, the New Stockholders may agree to
purchase in the aggregate all of the Equity Securities covered by the Sale
Notice, and

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(A) individually, that portion of such Equity Securities offered by the Selling
Stockholder equal to their pro rata interest in the Company relative to each
other (based on the percentage of outstanding Common Stock Equivalents owned by
each of them on the date of the Sale Notice), (B) such other portion of such
Equity Securities as the New Stockholders may agree upon or (C) in the event
either of the New Stockholders does not exercise such right, all of the Equity
Securities offered to such declining New Stockholder by the Selling Stockholder
in amounts determined pursuant to subclause (A) or (B) above without regard to
such declining New Stockholders, by delivering written notice to such effect to
the Selling Stockholder setting forth closing arrangements and a closing date
not less than 30 nor more than 90 days following the delivery of such notice (or
such later date as is necessary to obtain all requisite governmental and
regulatory approvals and consents).

 

(B)         EFFECTING SALES.  IF, UPON THE EXPIRATION OF 15 DAYS FOLLOWING
RECEIPT BY THE NEW STOCKHOLDERS OF THE SALE NOTICE, NONE OF THE NEW STOCKHOLDERS
SHALL HAVE AGREED TO PURCHASE ALL OF THE EQUITY SECURITIES COVERED BY THE SALE
NOTICE, THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER MAY SELL TO A THIRD PARTY OR PARTIES ALL, BUT
NOT LESS THAN ALL, OF THE EQUITY SECURITIES COVERED BY THE SALE NOTICE FOR AT
LEAST 95% OF THE PRICE AND UPON SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME OTHER TERMS AND
CONDITIONS AS CONTAINED IN THE SALE NOTICE; PROVIDED THAT THE SELLING
STOCKHOLDER AND THE THIRD PARTY EXECUTE A BINDING PURCHASE AGREEMENT (SUBJECT TO
CUSTOMARY CLOSING CONDITIONS) WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH 15 DAY
PERIOD AND CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING THEREUNDER WITHIN 120 DAYS (OR SUCH LATER DATE
AS IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN ALL REQUISITE GOVERNMENTAL AND REGULATORY APPROVALS
AND CONSENTS) FROM THE EXECUTION OF THE BINDING PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  IF THE NEW
STOCKHOLDERS SHALL HAVE AGREED TO PURCHASE THE EQUITY SECURITIES COVERED BY THE
SALE NOTICE, THEN THE SALE OF SUCH EQUITY SECURITIES SHALL BE CONSUMMATED AS
SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER THE DELIVERY OF A NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE BY THE SELLING
STOCKHOLDER, BUT IN ANY EVENT WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE DELIVERY OF THE SALE NOTICE
(OR SUCH LATER DATE AS IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN ALL REQUISITE GOVERNMENTAL AND
REGULATORY APPROVALS AND CONSENTS).  THE NEW STOCKHOLDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT
TO ASSIGN TO ONE OR MORE NEW STOCKHOLDERS ASSIGNEES ALL OR ANY OF THEIR RIGHTS
TO PURCHASE EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 1.2.

 

(C)          NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THE RIGHTS GRANTED
TO AND OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED ON THE NEW STOCKHOLDERS AND THE NEW STOCKHOLDERS
ASSIGNEES, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS AND THE EXISTING
STOCKHOLDERS ASSIGNEES, ON THE OTHER HAND, PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 1.2 SHALL
TERMINATE UPON THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(D)         THIS SECTION 1.2 SHALL APPLY MUTATIS MUTANDIS HERETO, AS IF ONE NEW
STOCKHOLDER, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE OTHER NEW STOCKHOLDER, ON THE OTHER HAND,
WERE THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER AND THE NEW STOCKHOLDERS, RESPECTIVELY; PROVIDED,
THAT FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE NEW STOCKHOLDER THAT IS A SELLING
STOCKHOLDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE DECLINED ITS OWN OFFER FOR PURPOSES OF
SECTION 1.2(A).

 

1.3        INVOLUNTARY TRANSFERS.  Any transfer of title or beneficial ownership
of Equity Securities upon default, foreclosure, forfeit, divorce, court order or
otherwise than by a voluntary decision on the part of a Stockholder (each, an
“Involuntary Transfer”) shall be void unless the Stockholder complies with this
Section 1.3 and enables the Company to exercise in full its rights hereunder. 
Upon any Involuntary Transfer, the Company

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall have the right to purchase such Equity Securities pursuant to this Section
1.3 and the person or entity to whom such Equity Securities have been
Transferred (the “Involuntary Transferee”) shall have the obligation to sell
such Equity Securities in accordance with this Section 1.3.  Upon the
Involuntary Transfer of any Equity Securities, such Stockholder shall promptly
(but in no event later than two days after such Involuntary Transfer) furnish
written notice (the “Notice”) to the Company indicating that the Involuntary
Transfer has occurred, specifying the name of the Involuntary Transferee, giving
a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to, and stating the
legal basis for, the Involuntary Transfer.  Upon the receipt of the Notice, and
for 60 days thereafter, the Company shall have the right to purchase, and upon
exercise of such right the Involuntary Transferee shall have the obligation to
sell, all (but not less than all) of the Equity Securities acquired by the
Involuntary Transferee for a purchase price equal to the Market Value of such
Equity Securities.

 

2.               ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

 

2.1        BOARD MAKE-UP.  (a)  Each Stockholder agrees that from and after the
Closing such Stockholder will use his, her or its best efforts to nominate and
elect and will vote all of the Equity Securities owned or held of record by him,
her or it that have voting rights to elect and, thereafter for such period, to
continue in office a Board consisting of ten members, three of whom shall be
designated by DB (the “DB Designees”), three of whom shall be designated by
Essar (the “Essar Designees”), one of whom shall be the President and Chief
Executive Officer and three of whom shall be independent of DB, Essar and the
Company.  The persons designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 by DB and Essar
may be changed from time to time by DB and Essar, respectively.  If the
directors are to be elected in staggered terms, the number of nominees
designated by DB and Essar for each such term shall equal the total number of DB
Designees or Essar Designees, respectively, divided by the number of such terms
and rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

(B)         THE NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEES AND ESSAR DESIGNEES WILL BE SUBJECT TO
REDUCTION AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.1(B).  WITH RESPECT TO DB OR ESSAR,
RESPECTIVELY, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF (I) THE FIRST BREAK POINT WITH RESPECT TO
DB OR ESSAR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THE NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEES OR ESSAR DESIGNEES,
RESPECTIVELY, WILL BE REDUCED TO TWO SUCH DESIGNEES, (II) THE SECOND BREAK POINT
WITH RESPECT TO DB OR ESSAR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THE NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEES OR
ESSAR DESIGNEES, RESPECTIVELY, WILL BE REDUCED TO ONE SUCH DESIGNEE AND (III)
THE THIRD BREAK POINT WITH RESPECT TO DB OR ESSAR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THE
NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEES OR ESSAR DESIGNEES, RESPECTIVELY, WILL BE REDUCED TO ZERO
SUCH DESIGNEES.  AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY REDUCTION IN
THE NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEES OR ESSAR DESIGNEES, RESPECTIVELY, PURSUANT TO CLAUSES
(I), (II) OR (III) IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, DB OR ESSAR,
RESPECTIVELY, SHALL USE REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS TO CAUSE THE RESIGNATION OF THE
NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEE(S) OR ESSAR DESIGNEE(S), RESPECTIVELY, IN EXCESS OF THE
NUMBER OF DB DESIGNEES OR ESSAR DESIGNEES, RESPECTIVELY, THAT IT IS ENTITLED TO
DESIGNATE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.1(B).  FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EXCEPT
AS EXPLICITLY INDICATED IN THIS SECTION 2.1(B), SECTION 2.1(A) SHALL REMAIN IN
FULL FORCE, INCLUDING THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH PARTY TO VOTE FOR THE DIRECTORS
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY IS ENTITLED TO DESIGNATE.

 

2.2        IRREVOCABLE PROXY.  In order to effectuate Section 2.1 and, in
addition to and not in lieu of Section 2.1, each Stockholder hereby grants to
the Secretary of the

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Company then in office an irrevocable proxy solely for the purpose of voting all
of the Equity Securities that have voting rights and owned by the grantor of the
proxy for the election of directors nominated only in accordance with Section
2.1.

 

2.3        MAJOR DECISIONS.  (a)  Each Stockholder agrees that from and after
the Closing such Stockholder will use his, her or its best efforts, and, where
applicable, will vote all of the Equity Securities owned or held of record by
him, her or it that have voting rights, to cause the By-laws of the Company to
require that (i) at all meetings of the Board a majority of the number of
directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided
that such majority of directors include at least one independent director (so
long as there is more than one independent director serving on the board), at
least one DB Designee and at least one Essar Designee unless and until the Third
Break Point occurs with respect to DB or Essar, as the case may be, (ii) any
committee of the Board be constituted so that the number of DB Designees and
Essar Designees on any such committee be as nearly as possible in the same
proportion as the number of DB Designees and Essar Designees on the entire Board
unless prohibited by applicable law or listing standards; provided that any
committee of the Board shall at all times have a minimum of one DB Designee and
one Essar Designee, unless and until the Third Break Point occurs with respect
to DB or Essar, as the case may be and (iii) any Major Decision (as defined
below) be approved by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the
directors then serving on the Board; provided that, unless and until the First
Break Point occurs, such Major Decision also be approved by each of at least one
DB Designee and at least one Essar Designee.

 

(B)         THE TERM “MAJOR DECISION” MEANS ANY DECISION BY THE BOARD WITH
RESPECT TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MATTERS:

2.3(b)(iii) a revolving credit or similar borrowing facility together with
subsequent draw-downs under such facility without obtaining separate Board
approval for each such draw-down;

agrees that, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, he, she or it

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

4.2        ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  (a) Each Stockholder
represents and warrants to the Company and each other Stockholder that:

 

(I)                                     SUCH STOCKHOLDER HAS THE POWER,
AUTHORITY AND CAPACITY (OR, IN THE CASE OF ANY STOCKHOLDER THAT IS A
CORPORATION, TRUST OR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, ALL CORPORATE, TRUST OR LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP POWER AND AUTHORITY, AS THE CASE MAY BE) TO EXECUTE, DELIVER AND
PERFORM THIS AGREEMENT;

 

(II)                                  IN THE CASE OF A STOCKHOLDER THAT IS A
CORPORATION, TRUST OR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT BY SUCH STOCKHOLDER HAS BEEN DULY AND VALIDLY
AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED BY ALL NECESSARY CORPORATE, TRUST OR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
ACTION, AS THE CASE MAY BE;

 

(III)                               THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DULY AND VALIDLY
EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY SUCH STOCKHOLDER AND CONSTITUTES A VALID AND LEGALLY
BINDING OBLIGATION OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER, ENFORCEABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS
TERMS, SUBJECT TO BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY, REORGANIZATION, MORATORIUM OR OTHER
SIMILAR LAWS AFFECTING OR RELATING TO CREDITORS’ RIGHTS GENERALLY AND GENERAL
PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY; AND

 

(IV)                              THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE OF
THIS AGREEMENT BY SUCH STOCKHOLDER DOES NOT AND WILL NOT VIOLATE THE TERMS OF OR
RESULT IN THE ACCELERATION OF ANY OBLIGATION UNDER (A) ANY MATERIAL CONTRACT,
COMMITMENT OR OTHER MATERIAL INSTRUMENT TO WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER IS A PARTY OR
BY WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER IS BOUND OR (B) IN THE CASE OF A STOCKHOLDER THAT IS A
CORPORATION, TRUST OR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION,
CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, BY-LAWS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OR
OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS, AS THE CASE MAY BE.

 

4.3        AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS.  Each of the New Stockholders hereby agrees
not to, and to cause each of its Affiliates not to, engage in any transaction
with the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company unless each such
transaction is on terms that could be obtained on an arm’s length, commercially
reasonable basis from unrelated parties.

 

4.4        PREFERRED STOCK CONVERSION.  (a) As of the date hereof, Questor
agrees to and hereby does convert (i) 9,058.42 shares of Series E Preferred
Stock of the Company, representing all of its Series E Preferred Stock
immediately prior to such conversion, into 381,407.11 shares of Common Stock of
the Company in accordance with the conversion rate set forth in the certificate
of designation governing the Series E Preferred Stock and (ii) 23,375 shares of
Series F Preferred Stock of the Company, representing 50% of Questor’s Series F
Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, into 34,527,594.305 shares
of Common Stock of the Company in accordance with the conversion rate set forth
in the certificate of designation governing the Series F Preferred Stock.  As of
the Subsequent Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) Questor
agrees to and will convert its remaining 23,375 shares of Series F Preferred
Stock of the Company into 46,910,503 shares of Common Stock of the Company in
accordance with the conversion rate set forth in the then-effective certificate
of designation governing the Series F Preferred Stock, subject to completion of
the Preferred Stock Amendment (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the
satisfaction of the Thayer Condition (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                 Questor hereby waives all of its rights
under the certificate of designations of the Series F Preferred Stock other than
the rights set forth in Sections 6(a), 7(a) through (c), 7(e), 7(f), 7(i)
through (j), and 7(p) through (t).  The Company hereby agrees with Questor to
complete and cause to become effective the Preferred Stock Amendment (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement).  Thayer hereby agrees with Questor to cause the
Thayer Condition (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to be satisfied.  If the
Company changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Subsequent Closing Date (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) as a result of a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares
or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
then the number of shares into which the Series F Preferred (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) shall be convertible pursuant to the Preferred Stock
Amendment shall be appropriately adjusted to preserve the percentage ownership
of the Common Stock that the holders of the Series F Preferred would otherwise
obtain if the Preferred Stock Amendment were effected and the Series F Preferred
outstanding immediately after the Closing were converted on the date hereof.

 

5.              AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION.  This Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by each of the
parties hereto and, in the case of an amendment, modification or supplement that
would materially and adversely affect any other Stockholder, any such other
Stockholder.  The Company shall notify all Stockholders promptly after any such
amendment, modification or supplement shall have taken effect.

 

6.              PARTIES.

 

6.1        ASSIGNMENT BY THE COMPANY.  If the Company has not exercised in full
its right to purchase Equity Securities pursuant to Section 1.3 within 30 days
of receipt by the Company of the Notice giving rise to such right, then the New
Stockholders (other than any New Stockholders subject to such Involuntary
Transfer) shall have the right to require the Company to assign to such New
Stockholders such right to purchase those Equity Securities not being purchased
by the Company.  The New Stockholders shall have the right to assign to one or
more of the New Stockholders Parties all or any of their rights to purchase
Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 6.1.

 

6.2        ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, provided that the Company
may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of
the New Stockholders and provided, further, that no Stockholder may assign any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
New Stockholders, unless such assignment is in connection with a Transfer
explicitly permitted by this Agreement and, prior to such assignment, such
assignee complies with the requirements of Section 6.4.

 

6.3        TERMINATION.  Any party to, or person who is subject to, this
Agreement which ceases to own Equity Securities or any interest therein, shall
cease to be a party to, or person who is subject to, this Agreement and
thereafter shall have no rights or obligations hereunder, provided, however,
that a Transfer of Equity Securities not explicitly

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

permitted under this Agreement shall not relieve a Stockholder of any of his or
her obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a
Transfer to an Affiliate explicitly permitted by this Agreement, prior to any
such Person ceasing to be an Affiliate of the Stockholder from whom such Person
acquired its Equity Securities, such Person shall be obligated to transfer such
Equity Securities back to such original Stockholder and such original
Stockholder shall thereupon again be subject to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be of
no further force or effect at such time as each of the New Stockholders Parties
beneficially own less than 5% of the outstanding Equity Securities.

 

6.4        AGREEMENTS TO BE BOUND.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any Transfer of Equity Securities by a Stockholder
(other than pursuant to a Public Sale) shall be permitted under the terms of
this Agreement only if the transferee of such Stockholder shall agree in writing
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to an
instrument of assumption reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the
New Stockholders, and, in the case of a transferee who is an individual and who
resides in a state with a community property system, such transferee causes his
or her spouse, if any, to execute a Spousal Waiver in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto.  Upon the execution of the instrument of assumption by such
transferee and, if applicable, the Spousal Waiver by the spouse of such
