WHEREAS, Employer desires to engage or employ Employee to perform services for
Employer (or any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Employer
and any successor or assign of Employer) upon the terms and conditions set forth
below, and Employee desires to accept employment upon such terms and conditions.
 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

hereunder (the “Employment Term”) (i) shall begin on the Effective Date and,
unless earlier terminated as set forth in Section 9 hereof, shall continue
through September 1, 2013 (the “Term”). Further, the phrase “termination of
employment” as used hereinafter shall be deemed to be “separation from service”

3.           EMPLOYEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Employee represents,
warrants and covenants to Employer that he is free to accept employment with
Employer as contemplated herein and has no other written or oral obligations or
commitments of any kind or nature that would in any way interfere with his
acceptance of employment pursuant to the terms hereof or the full performance of
his obligations hereunder or that would otherwise pose any conflict of interest.
 
4.           DUTIES AND EXTENT OF SERVICES.
 
(a)           Duties.  During the Employment Term, Employee shall serve in the
position of Senior Vice President and shall have such authority and perform such
duties as are commensurate with such position and as reasonably assigned by
Employer and consistent with such position.  In addition, Employee shall hold
such other office(s) with Employer (or any affiliates of Employer) to which he
may be elected, appointed or assigned from time to time, and to which he has
consented, and shall discharge the duties related to such offices.

 

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

 
 
(b)           Extent of Service.  During the Employment Term, Employee shall
devote his full business time, skill, attention and energy exclusively,
diligently, and competently to perform the duties and responsibilities assigned
to him hereunder or pursuant hereto, provided that he may manage personal
investments, and, with the consent of Employer which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned, serve on corporate, civic or charitable
boards.  Employee shall be available to travel as the reasonable needs of the
business of Employer require.
 
5.           COMPENSATION.

services rendered under this Agreement during the Term, Employer shall pay to
Employee a base salary of Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000)
per annum, as adjusted from time to time (“Base Salary”).  The Base Salary shall
be payable in installments in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll
practices for compensating its Employees and shall be subject to payroll
deductions and tax withholdings in accordance with Employer’s usual practices
and as required by law.  Effective with Employer’s 2011 salary review cycle for

increases consistent with Employer’s practices with respect to annual salary
increases given to other Employees of Employer with responsibilities, titles and
performance comparable to those of Employee.

Compensation”).
 
6.           FRINGE BENEFITS AND EXPENSES.

benefits as are generally made available by Employer to Employee personnel,
including, but not limited to, health insurance.

out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the performance of his
duties and responsibilities hereunder, subject to the submission of appropriate
vouchers, bills and receipts in accordance with Employer’s policies from time to
time in effect, including sufficient detail to entitle Employer to income tax
deductions for such paid items, if such items are so deductible, provided,
however, that (i) the amount of such expense eligible for reimbursement in any
taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in another
taxable year and (ii) any reimbursements of such expenses shall be made no later
than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
related expenses were incurred.

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

 
 
7.           NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION.

(a)            For as long as Employee shall remain employed by Employer and for
(i) one year if terminated by Employer for Cause or by Employee for any reason
and (ii) if terminated by Employer without Cause pursuant to Section 11(f) one
year if terminated during the Term (the “Non-Competition Period”), Employee
shall not, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, Employee, employer,
consultant, independent contractor, stockholder, partner or in any other
individual capacity whatsoever (except as permitted herein), engage in any
Competitive Business Activities without the written consent of Employer.  For
purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business Activity” means any business
activities that are competitive with the activities of Employer as of the date
Employee ceases, for any reason, to be employed by Employer or its
affiliates.  The foregoing shall not prevent Employee from owning for investment
purposes up to 5% of the outstanding securities of a publicly traded company
engaged in a Competitive Business Activity (provided that, in no event shall
Employee own more than 5% of the outstanding securities of a publicly traded
company engaged in a Competitive Business Activity).
 
(b)           For a period equal to the longer of (i) three (3) years after the
Effective Date and (ii) eighteen (18) months after Employee ceases, for any
reason, to be employed by Employer or its affiliates, Employee shall not (for
his own benefit or for the benefit of any person other than Employer and its
affiliates) solicit, or assist any person other than Employer to solicit, any
officer, director, Employee or Employee of Employer or any of their respective
affiliates to leave his or her employment.
 
(c)           During the Non-Competition Period, Employee shall not, either
himself, or for the benefit of any other person, either as Employee, consultant,
investor or in any other capacity whatsoever, contact any Customer or
Prospective Customer for the purpose of selling any products or services that
constitute a Competitive Business Activity.  For purposes of this Agreement,
“Customer” means any Person who has purchased products or services from Employer
and its affiliates at any time within two (2) years prior to the date Employee
ceases, for any reason, to be employed by Employer or its affiliates and
“Prospective Customer” means any Person or entity who Employer and its
affiliates solicited or had plans to solicit for the provision of services
during the six month period prior to termination of Employee’s employment, for
any reason.
 
 (d)           Employee has carefully read and considered the provisions of this
Section 7, and, having done so, agrees that (i) the restrictions set forth
herein are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic scope and
otherwise, (ii) Employer is in the process of expanding its operations and
Employee will have access to critical information regarding its operations and
therefore the broad scope of the restrictions relating to Employer’s business
are necessary, (iii) the protection afforded to Employer hereunder is necessary
to protect its legitimate business interests and is no greater than necessary to
protect Employer’s legitimate business interests, (iv) the agreement to observe
such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement
and Employee’s employment by Employer and (v) upon the termination of Employee’s
employment with Employer for any reason, she will be able to earn a livelihood
without violating the foregoing restrictions.  In the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of this Section 7 shall be
held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof shall
nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or
unenforceable parts had not been included therein.  In the event that any
provision of this Section 7 relating to the time period and/or the areas of
restriction and/or related aspects shall be declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable
and enforceable, the time period and/or areas of restriction and/or related
aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and
thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the restriction shall
remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such court.

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

 
 
(e)           Employee agrees that Employer’s remedies at law for any breach or
threat of breach by his of any of the provisions of this Section 7 will be
inadequate and that Employer shall be entitled to seek an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 7 and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, in addition to any other
remedy to which Employer may be entitled at law or equity.  Employer agrees that
the Employee’s obligations under this Section 7 are contingent upon the Employer
fulfilling its obligations to make the payments required by Section 11, Section
12, and Section 13.
 
8.          TRADE SECRETS.  Employee shall not use or disclose any of Employer’s
trade secrets or other confidential information.  The term “trade secrets or
other confidential information” includes, by way of example, matters of a
technical nature, such as scientific, trade and engineering secrets, “know-how,”
formulae, secret processes or machines, inventions, computer programs (including
documentation of such programs) and research projects, and matters of a business
nature, such as proprietary information about costs, profits, markets, sales,
lists of customers, plans for future development, and other information of a
similar nature that is designated as confidential or generally maintained as
confidential or proprietary by Employer.  After termination of Employee’s
employment, Employee shall not use or disclose trade secrets or other
confidential information unless such information becomes a part of the public
domain other than through a breach of Employer’s policies or is disclosed to
Employee by a third party who is entitled to receive and disclose such
information.
 
9.           RETURN OF DOCUMENTS AND PROPERTY. Upon the effective date of notice
of Employee’s or Employer’s election to terminate Employee’s employment, or at
any time upon the request of Employer, Employee (or her heirs or personal
representatives) shall deliver to Employer (a) all documents and materials
containing trade secrets or other confidential information relating to
Employer’s business and affairs, and (b) all documents, materials and other
property belonging to Employer, which in either case are in the possession or
under the control of Employee (or her heirs or personal representatives).
 
10.         DISCOVERIES AND WORKS.  All discoveries and works made or conceived
by Employee during his employment by Employer, jointly or with others, that
relate to Employer’s activities shall be owned by Employer.  The term
“discoveries and works” includes, by way of example, inventions, computer
programs (including documentation of such programs), technical improvements,
processes, drawings and works of authorship.  Employee shall (a) promptly
notify, make full disclosure to, and execute and deliver any documents requested
by, Employer to evidence or better assure title to such discoveries and works in
Employer, (b) assist Employer in obtaining or maintaining for itself at its own
expense United States and foreign patents, copyrights, trade secret protection
or other protection of any and all such discoveries and works, and (c) promptly
execute, whether during his employment by Employer or thereafter, all
applications or other endorsements necessary or appropriate to maintain patents
and other rights for Employer and to protect its title thereto.  Any discoveries
and works which, within six months after the termination of Employee’s
employment by Employer, are made, disclosed, reduced to a tangible or written
form or description, or are reduced to practice by Employer and which pertain to
the business carried on or products or services being sold or developed by
Employer at the time of such termination shall, as between Employee and
Employer, be presumed to have been made during Employee’s employment by
Employer.  Set forth on Schedule 10 attached hereto is a list of inventions,
patented or unpatented, if any, including a brief description thereof, which are
owned by Employee, which Employee conceived or made prior to her employment by
Employer and which are excluded from this Agreement.

and void.

13.         DISABILITY; DEATH.
 
(a)           If, prior to the expiration or termination of the Employment Term,
Employee shall be unable to perform his duties by reason of disability or
impairment of health for at least six consecutive calendar months, Employer
shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment on account of disability
by giving written notice to Employee to that effect, but only if at the time
such notice is given such disability or impairment is still continuing.  In the
event of a dispute as to whether Employee is disabled within the meaning of this
Section 13(a), either party may from time to time request a medical examination
of Employee by a doctor selected by Employer, and the written medical opinion of
such doctor shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties as to whether
Employee has become disabled and the date when such disability arose.  The cost

the benefits provided for under Sections 11(a)(i) and 11(a)(ii), all unvested

(c)           Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall impair or otherwise
affect any rights and interests of Employee under any insurance arrangements,
death benefit plan or other compensation plan or arrangement of Employer which
may be adopted by the Board.
 
14.         LAW APPLICABLE.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to
conflicts of laws principles.
 
15.         NOTICES.  Any notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to
this Agreement shall be sufficient, if in writing and sent by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, to the residence, listed on the
signature page of this Agreement, in the case of Employee, and to 7925 Jones
Branch Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, in the
case of Employer.
 
16.         ASSIGNMENT, ETC.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives,
heirs, assignees and/or successors in interest of any kind whatsoever; provided,
however, that Employee acknowledges and agrees that he cannot assign or delegate
any of his rights, duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder to any
other person or entity.  Employer may assign its rights under this Agreement to
any affiliate of Employer or to any entity upon any sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of Employer, or upon any merger or consolidation of Employer

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

 
 
17.           ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS.  This Agreement constitutes the
entire final agreement between the parties with respect to, and supersedes any
and all prior agreements between the parties hereto both oral and written
concerning, the subject matter hereof and may not be amended, modified or
terminated except by a writing duly signed by the parties hereto.
 
18.           SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to
be invalid or unenforceable, and is not reformed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such
provision and shall not in any way affect or render invalid or unenforceable any
other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if
such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.
 
19.           NO WAIVER.  A waiver of any breach or violation of any term,
provision or covenant contained herein shall not be deemed a continuing waiver
or a waiver of any future or past breach or violation.  No oral waiver shall be
binding.  The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of
this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or
deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to
that term or any other term of this Agreement.
 
20.           COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A.  Because the parties hereto intend
that any payment under this Agreement shall be paid in compliance with Section
409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and all regulations, guidance and other
interpretative authority thereunder, such that there will be no adverse tax
consequences, interest or penalties as a result of such payments, the parties
hereby agree to modify the timing (but not the amount) of any payment hereunder
to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A and avoid application of any
taxes, penalties or interest thereunder.  Consequently, notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A, Employee shall not be entitled to any
payments upon Date of Termination until the earlier of (i) the date which is six
(6) months after Date of Termination for any reason other than death, or (ii)
the date of Employee’s death.  Any amounts otherwise payable to Employee
following Date of Termination that are not so paid by reason of this Section 20
shall be paid as soon as practicable after the date that is six (6) months after
Date of Termination (or, if earlier, the date of Employee’s death).  The
provisions of this Section 20 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required
to comply with Section 409A in a manner such that Employee is not subject to
additional taxes and/or penalties under Section 409A.
 
21.           COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of
this agreement to account for all such counterparts.

GENERAL RELEASE
 
I, John Hassoun, in consideration of and subject to the performance by ATS
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby give this GENERAL
RELEASE (the “Release”) in exchange for the payments and benefits to be provided
to me under that certain Employment Agreement dated September 2, 2010, between
the Company and me (the “Employment Agreement”).
 
1.          I hereby acknowledge and agree that the payments and benefits
provided under the Employment Agreement represent substantial consideration over
and above that to which I would otherwise be entitled and that I am voluntarily
executing this Release so as to be eligible to receive such benefits.
 
2.          For myself and my personal representatives, I hereby release,
forever discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates,
and the officers, directors, shareholders, owners, Employees and agents of the
Company and its affiliates in their capacity as such (collectively, the
“Released Parties”), from any and all causes of action, suits, debts,
agreements, promises, damages, judgments, claims, demands, obligations and
liabilities of any kind of nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown,
liquidated or unliquidated, which I or my heirs or personal representatives ever
had, now have or hereafter can, shall or may have against any of the Released
Parties, for, upon, or by reason of any act, omission, occurrence, cause or
thing whatsoever prior to the date hereof.  I agree not to sue any of the
Released Parties in any court or bring any other kind of legal proceeding
against any of the Released Parties regarding any of the matters as to which I
have released the Released Parties under this Release.
 
The foregoing release is a general release that includes, but is not limited to,
a release of any claim I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act, which prohibits age discrimination in employment; Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race,
color, national origin, religion or sex; the Equal Pay Act which prohibits
paying men and women unequal pay for equal work; and any other federal, state or
local law or regulation or under common law.
 
3.            I represent and warrant that:
 
(a)           I have returned all property of the Company or any affiliate or
subsidiary thereof in my possession, including keys, property access devices,
and credit cards and any confidential or proprietary information regarding the
Company and its affiliates in tangible form.
 
(b)           In executing this Release, I have not relied upon, and I do not
rely upon, any representation or statement made to me by the Company or any of
its affiliates or any of their agents or representatives, other than any
statements expressly contained herein.
 
4.           I agree that if any provision of this Release is adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable, or if compliance with any provision of this Release is
restrained pending a final determination as to its legality, such deletion or
restraint shall apply only to the operation of the provision or provisions
deemed invalid, unenforceable, or restrained, and to the extent any provision of
this Release is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or restrained, the remaining
provisions will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible.

amount of such payments and benefits I received and in no event later than five
(5) days after such revocation or breach.
