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 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 (i) cause 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. The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, jointly and severally with Peter M. Schulte, against any and all loss,
liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating
preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened,
or any claim whatsoever) which the Company may become subject as a result of
any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Company for
services rendered or products sold, or any claim by any target business, but
only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Fund.


 


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 an initial Business
Combination any of the portfolio companies in which any private equity funds
managed by the undersigned 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 an officer, 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 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
