Acquisition Corporation

Re:          Initial
Public Offering


 


Gentlemen:


 


This
letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement
(the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Federal Services
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and CRT
Capital Group LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten initial
public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each
comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the “Common Stock”), and two warrants, each of which are exercisable for
one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”). Certain capitalized terms used
herein are defined in paragraph 10 hereof.


 


In
order to induce the Company and the Underwriter to enter into the Underwriting
Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that
such IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder of the Company, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as
follows:


 


1.             If
the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination,
the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares and IPO Shares owned by him in
accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Public
Stockholders.


 


2.             In
the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18
months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the registration statement
relating to the IPO or 24 months under the circumstances described in the
prospectus relating to the IPO (the first to occur of such dates, the “Transaction
Failure Date”), the undersigned will take all reasonable actions within his
power to cause (i) the Trust Fund to be liquidated and distributed to the
holders of the IPO Shares as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60
(sixty) calendar days after the Transaction Failure Date and (ii) cause the
Company to dissolve and liquidate as soon as practicable (the earliest date on
which the conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) are both satisfied being the “Liquidation
Date”). The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any distributions of the Trust Fund as a result of
such distribution with respect to his Insider Shares (“Claim”) and hereby
waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or
arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek
recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned
hereby agrees that the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the


 

















 


undersigned for any distribution of the Trust Fund
received by the undersigned in respect of such person’s Insider Shares.


 


3.             The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate its
initial Business Combination with any company which is affiliated with one or
more of the Insiders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no
event will the Company seek to acquire as its initial Business Combination any
of the portfolio companies in which any private equity funds managed by Joel R.
Jacks or Peter M. Schulte have an investment.


 


4.             In
order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple
affiliations, the undersigned will present to the Company for its
consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or company, any
suitable opportunity to acquire a Target Business, until the earlier of the
consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the distribution of the
Trust Fund or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be a director and stockholder
of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations the
undersigned might have, including any portfolio company managed by CMEP.


 


5.             Neither
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate
of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any
compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection
with the consummation of the Business Combination, provided that commencing on
the effective date of the IPO, CM Equity Management, L.P. (“Related Party”)
shall be allowed to charge the Company $7,500 per month to compensate it for
the Company’s use of Related Party’s offices, utilities and personnel. The
undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business
Combination.


 


6.             Neither
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate
of the undersigned will be entitled to receive, or accept, a finder’s fee or
any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the family
of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business
Combination.


 


7.             The
undersigned will escrow his Insider Shares for the three year period commencing
on the Effective Date subject to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which
the Company will enter into with an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.


 


8.             The
undersigned agrees to be Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination
or the Liquidation Date. The undersigned’s biographical information furnished
to the Company and the Underwriter and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and
accurate in all respects, does not omit any material information with respect
to the undersigned’s background and contains all of the information required to
be disclosed pursuant to Section 401 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933. The undersigned’s questionnaires furnished to the
Company and the Underwriter and attached hereto as Exhibit B are true and
accurate in all respects. The undersigned represents and warrants that:

and


 


(c)           the

9.             The

this letter agreement and to serve as Vice-Chairman of the Company and a member

undersigned acknowledge that the Underwriter is an intended third party
beneficiary of the provisions of this letter agreement. In that regard, the

contained herein shall be deemed to render the Underwriter a representative of,
or a fiduciary with respect to, the Company, its stockholders, or any creditor
or vendor of the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.


 


This letter agreement shall be binding on the
undersigned and such person’s respective successors, heirs, personal
representatives and assigns. This letter agreement shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) the Business Combination Date and (ii) the Liquidation Date;
provided that such termination shall not relieve the undersigned from liability
for any breach of this agreement prior to its termination.
