 Re: Initial Public
Offering 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The
undersigned stockholder, officer and director of Global BPO Services Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in consideration of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (the
“Underwriters”) agreeing to underwrite an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (“Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (“Warrant”), hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Schedule 1 hereto): 

 1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation),
the undersigned shall vote all Founder Shares owned by such person and any shares of Common Stock acquired in or after the IPO in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares who are not Founding Stockholders.

 2. If a Transaction Failure occurs, the undersigned shall take all reasonable actions within such person’s power to cause
(i) the Trust Account to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of the IPO Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, and (ii) the Company to liquidate as soon as practicable after the Termination Date (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 liquidating distributions by the
Company, except with respect to any of the IPO Shares acquired by the undersigned in connection with or following the IPO, and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation, and hereby further 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. Each of the Officers jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company 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, service provider and other entity that is 








  
owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, as well as claims of prospective target business for fees
and expenses of third parties that the Company agrees in writing to pay in the event the Company does not consummate a combination with such target business, to the extent such vendors, service providers or other entities have not executed waivers
or have executed waivers that are held to be invalid or unenforceable, and only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Account. Each Officer hereby agrees that
the Company shall be entitled to a reimbursement from such Officer for any distribution of the Trust Account received by such Officer in respect of such Officer’s Founder Shares. Each Officer hereby agrees to advance the Company the funds to
pay the costs of liquidation to the extent such costs exceed the Company’s assets outside of the Trust Account. 
  3. In order to
minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, opportunities to acquire entities
within the business process outsourcing industry that may reasonably be deemed appropriate for the Company, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the liquidation of the Company or until such time as the
undersigned ceases to be an officer or director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligation the undersigned has. The undersigned is a Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Protocol Communications, Inc., a
privately held provider of fully integrated marketing services in the business process outsourcing sector, but, with the concurrence of Protocol, agrees to present any suitable business opportunity involving a purchase price of more than $20 million
to the Company prior to presenting it to Protocol. 
 4. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any
Business Combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of the Founding Stockholders, officers or directors unless the Company obtains an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent third party appraiser, which will be an investment banking
firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, that the Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view. 
 5. Neither the undersigned, any member of the Immediate 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, other than any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the undersigned in connection with activities on
the Company’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, as well as traveling to and from the offices, service centers or similar locations of prospective target
acquisitions to examine their operations. 
 6. The undersigned agrees that none of the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of
the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept, and the undersigned, on behalf of the undersigned and the aforementioned parties, hereby waives any rights to, a finder’s fee, consulting fee or any
other compensation, either paid by the Company or by a target business, in the event the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

 7. The undersigned will, as specified in the Securities Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter
into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company, escrow its, his or her Founder Shares and Founder Warrants for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earliest of (i) one year following the
consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) the consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company consummating a Business Combination with a target business. 
 8. The undersigned agrees to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company until the

stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction;

 (c) The undersigned has never

 10. The undersigned has full right and power, without violating any agreement by which the undersigned is bound, to enter into this letter agreement and
to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 11. The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Underwriters and the Company will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein in proceeding with the IPO.

 13. The undersigned authorizes any employer, financial institution or consumer credit reporting agency to release to the Underwriters and their legal
representatives or agents (including any investigative search firm retained by the Underwriters) any information they may have about the undersigned’s background and finances (“Information”). Neither the Underwriters nor their
