NOTE A¾BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements are for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 for ATS Corporation (the “Successor Company” or the “Company”) and are for the three-and six-month periods ended April 30, 2006 for Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (the “Predecessor Company” or “ATSI”).  The Company has included the results of operations for the acquisition of ATSI from the acquisition date of January 15, 2007 through June 30, 2007.

Except for the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2006 which was derived from audited financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of such financial position and results of operations have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as required by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The interim financial statements of ATSI have also been presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q. Such information should be read in conjunction with the ATSI consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2006 included in the ATS Corporation Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE B¾RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this Statement sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis, except to certain financial instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for which the provisions of SFAS No. 157 should be applied retrospectively. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, at specified election dates, to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to provide entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently, without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for accounting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C¾RESTRICTED CASH

The Company is required to maintain $1,200,000 on deposit with a financial institution to support a bonding requirement for one of ATSI’s state contracts.  Such amount is reflected in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE D¾INVESTMENTS HELD IN TRUST

The Company held certain investments in a trust account consisting principally of short-term treasury bills.  All such investments held in the Trust fund were disposed as of March 31, 2007.

NOTE E¾INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Successor — Basic and diluted net loss per share information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding, which includes common stock equivalents.  The Company’s common stock equivalents include stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, a total of 41,658,967 and 42,000,000 common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, a total of 41,979,501 and 42,000,000 common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.  The diluted loss per share from the period from November 1, 2006 through January 15, 2007 for the Predecessor did not include the effect of 447,100 stock options as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Weighted average common shares are calculated as follows:

NOTE F¾EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, which requires that compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognizes stock-based compensation based upon the fair value of the stock-based awards taking into account the effects of the employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $109,000 ($.01 per basic and diluted share) and $710,000 ($.03 per basic and diluted share) of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, as general and administrative expense.  The Company did not grant any stock-based awards to employees prior to fiscal year 2007.

The fair value of options granted during the period ended June 30, 2007 has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Effective November 1, 2006, ATSI was required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No.123(R).  However, no options were granted from the adoption date through January 15, 2007.  In connection with the sale of ATSI to ATS Corporation, ATSI was required to redeem 447,100 outstanding stock options for approximately $1.6 million.  A liability to cover such compensation expense was recorded on January 15, 2007 and paid in January 2007.

On January 12, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved the ATS Corporation 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company reserved 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance to employees and directors through incentive stock options, or non-qualified stock options or through restricted stock units. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 4,500 and 544,500 stock options, respectively.  The stock options have vesting periods up to four years.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.90 and $2.07, respectively.  As of June 30, 2007, there was $494,346 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.  The fair value of options vested during the three-month and six-month periods were approximately $0 and $591,000, respectively.

Pursuant to the Plan on May 4, 2007, the Company granted 60,000 restricted shares valued at approximately $231,000 to an employee.  The agreement provided for an immediate vesting of 10,000 shares with the remaining shares vesting ratably over four years.  In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company granted 255,534 restricted shares valued at approximately $1,035,000 to certain directors of the Company.  Such shares vest ratably over a five-year period.

NOTE G¾ACCOUNTING FOR WARRANTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

On October 25, 2005, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 21,000,000 units. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and two redeemable common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. The warrant agreement provides for the Company to register the shares underlying the warrants and was silent as to the penalty to be incurred in the absence of the Company’s ability to deliver registered shares to the warrant holders upon warrant exercise. The warrants expire on October 19, 2009.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-19, or EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” provides criteria for determining whether freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, should be designated as either an equity instrument, an asset or as a liability under SFAS No. 133. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations. A contract classified as an equity instrument is included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required from period to period.

Fair values for traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, as was the case with the Company’s warrants on the date of issuance, fair value is determined using methods requiring judgment and estimates. Utilizing such methods, the fair value of the warrant liability at October 20, 2005 (the date of issuance) was determined to be $0.34 per warrant. At the date of issuance, the Company allocated the unit price between the share of common stock and the warrants issued based upon relative fair value determined, among other things, by reference to the underlying cash held in the Trust fund. The warrants included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering began to be publicly traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on December 5,

2005, and consequently the fair value of the warrants was reflected as the market price of a warrant at each reporting period. The warrants were accounted for as a liability under the EITF 00-19.  As such, to the extent that the market price of the Company’s warrants increased or decreased, a gain or loss was recorded to reflect such change in fair value.

On March 14, 2007, the Company entered into a warrant clarification agreement to expressly state that, in the event a warrant would expire unexercised and without value and unredeemed on the expiration date, under no circumstances would the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.  This agreement modified the classification of the warrants from a liability to equity.  The Company recognized a loss of $6,930,000 representing the change in fair value of the warrant liability from December 31, 2006 through March 14, 2007.  The fair value of the warrants at March 14, 2007 of $20,790,000 was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

NOTE H—COMMON STOCK REDEMPTION

Following the consummation of the acquisition of ATSI, the Company announced and implemented a common stock and warrant repurchase program.  Through June 30, 2007, the Company paid approximately $13.5 million in cash to redeem 2,811,400 shares of common stock at an average price of $4.80 per share and approximately $351,000 in cash to repurchase 870,533 warrants.

On January 16, 2007, the Company announced that it would repurchase 2,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from the founders at $0.011 per share. This program was completed in January 2007.

On January 16, 2007, the Company announced that it would repurchase shares of those shareholders that voted against the acquisition of ATSI and requested that their shares (2,906,355) be redeemed at the then per share trust value of $5.77 per share. This program was completed in January 2007.

NOTE I¾INCOME TAXES

The Company and ATSI’s effective tax rates are based upon the effective tax to be applicable to the full fiscal year.  As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a net deferred tax liability of approximately $4.7 million.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company was required to adopt FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48).  FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold of financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.  Since inception and through January 1, 2007, the adoption date of this standard, the Company was in essence a “blank check” company with no substantive operations.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company’s 2004 through 2006 tax years are still subject to examination by the IRS. Various state jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Management is in the process of evaluating the various tax positions associated with the acquisitions of ATSI and Reliable Integration Services, Inc. (RISI) and is of the opinion that any deferred tax liabilities that would ultimately result from uncertain tax positions related to these entities would be covered by indemnification provisions provided in the acquisition agreements or would result in an adjustment to goodwill.

NOTE J-SEGMENT ACCOUNTING

The Company reviewed its services by unit to determine if any unit of the business is subject to risks and returns that are different than those of other units in the Company.  Based on this review, the Company has determined that all units of the Company are providing comparable services to its clients, and the Company has only one reportable segment.

NOTE K¾ACQUISITIONS

ATSI

Effective the close of business of January 15, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of ATSI, a provider of systems integration services and application development to the U.S. government, for $81.9 million in cash, and 173,913 shares valued at approximately $1,000,000 as of the closing date. The Company was organized to effect a business combination with an operating business in the federal services and defense industries.  ATSI is active primarily in the growing U.S. government information technology services market. ATSI designs, develops and integrates enterprise-wide information technology solutions, including custom software applications that address the U.S. government’s need to improve system efficiency, track human and financial capital, and reduce system downtime. Management believes that ATSI provides a strong federal services platform from which the Company can grow, has strong core competencies that the Company can build upon, and provides opportunities to create increased stockholder value. The stock purchase agreement provides for a working capital adjustment to the extent the net working capital on the closing date varies from the target amount as defined in the agreement.  Based on a determination of net working capital at the acquisition date, the Company has recorded a receivable for approximately $3.5 million, included in other current assets on the June 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet that it expects to receive from funds that were placed in escrow to cover any purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims.

As part of the ATSI transaction on January 15, 2007, the Company agreed that the former shareholders of ATSI could benefit from earn out opportunities if certain adjusted earnings thresholds are achieved during subsequent periods. These earn out opportunities had two components, each dependent on ATSI achieving certain levels of trailing 12-month EBITDA, as defined in the stock purchase agreement. One component of the earn out, up to an aggregate of $15.0 million, was dependent on ATSI achieving certain levels of adjusted EBITDA during the 12-month trailing periods ended October 31, 2006 and April 30, 2007. The second component of the earn out, up to an aggregate of $24.0 million, was dependent on the award of a large U.S. Air Force contract that ATSI bid on, which ATSI was notified on March 26, 2007, that it did not receive. Based on the financial results to date the Company does not anticipate any payout under the earn out provisions of the January 15, 2007 transaction with ATSI.  The Company funded the cash portion of the ATSI purchase price with the proceeds of its initial public offering.

In connection with the acquisition of ATSI, holders of 2,906,355 shares of common stock voted against the acquisition and perfected their right to convert their shares of common stock into $5.77 of cash per share. An aggregate of $16,769,668 was paid to such dissenting stockholders.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon preliminary estimates, which assume that historical cost approximates fair value of the assets and liabilities of ATSI. As such, management estimates that a substantial portion of the excess purchase price will be allocated to non-amortizable intangible assets. These estimates are subject to change upon the finalization of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities and may be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.  Management has preliminarily estimated that the transaction will result in $63.5 million of goodwill that is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Additionally, management estimated that approximately $17.0 million of the purchase price is allocable to customer-related intangible assets, which include customer contracts, backlog, and non-contractual customer relationships (including trade name recognition).  Such intangible assets will be amortized over periods ranging from three to six years based upon factors such as customer relationships and contract periods.

The results of operations for ATSI have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the acquisition date through June 30, 2007.

RISI

On March 1, 2007, the Company acquired Reliable Integration Services, Inc. (“RISI”), a 37-employee network systems integrator serving U.S. government defense and civilian agencies, for approximately $1.3 million as set forth below. Management believes that RISI’s client base and work product complements ATSI’s client base and work product and provides opportunities for both companies to cross sell their services.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon preliminary estimates, which assume that historical cost approximates fair value of the assets and liabilities of RISI. As such, management estimates that a substantial portion of the excess purchase price will be allocated to non-amortizable intangible assets. These estimates are subject to change upon the finalization of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities and may be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.

The results of operations for RISI are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date through June 30, 2007.

Management has preliminarily estimated that the transaction will result in $1.1 million of goodwill.  Management is currently analyzing the deductibility of goodwill on future income taxes. Approximately $300,000 of the purchase price is expected to be allocated to acquired customer-related intangible assets, that include customer contracts, backlog, and non-contractual customer relationships (including trade name recognition), and will be amortized over periods ranging from three to six years based upon factors such as expected customer relationships and contract periods.

NOTE M¾COMMITMENTS

Change in Control Agreements

Prior to the acquisition, ATSI’s Board of Directors approved Retention Agreements to key employees which authorized the payment of bonuses if the employee continued employment through the date of the ATS Corporation acquisition.  As further described in Note K, as of the close of business on January 15, 2007, ATSI was acquired by the Company. As a condition of the Retention Agreements, certain key employees received approximately $3,705,000 in bonuses upon the closing of the transaction.  These bonuses were recorded in overhead expense in ATSI’s consolidated statements of operations for the period from November 1, 2006 through January 15, 2007.

Employment Agreement

On March 19, 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer who had been serving in that capacity since January 16, 2007. The employment agreement was filed as part of a current report on Form 8-K on March 21, 2007. The employment agreement specifies annual salary and incentive compensation for the terms of the agreement.  The agreement also provides for between twelve and eighteen months’ salary and 50% of any incentive compensation targets if the employee is terminated other than for cause.

On May 4, 2007, the Company entered into a letter agreement with its Senior Vice President of Finance who became the Chief Financial Officer on May 22, 2007. The terms of the letter agreement were filed as part of a current report on Form 8-K on May 22, 2007.  No employment agreement has been signed to date.

Phantom Stock Option Plan

In December 2004, ATSI’s subsidiary, Appix, Inc. (Appix), adopted the Appix Phantom Stock Plan (the Phantom Stock Plan).  Under the Phantom Stock Plan, a committee of the Board of Directors of Appix could award up to 2,000,000 phantom stock units to eligible participants.  The value of the units was determined based upon a formula that is defined in the agreement.  The units were also subject to a vesting schedule as defined in the Phantom Stock Plan, and became immediately exercisable in the event of a change in control of Appix or ATSI.  Units issued under the Phantom Stock Plan were also subject to certain termination and cancellation provisions.

As further described in Note K, as of the close of business on January 15, 2007, ATSI was acquired by the Company. As a condition of the stock purchase agreement, all outstanding phantom stock units were repurchased for approximately $276,000.  Such compensation expense was recorded in general and administrative expense in ATSI’s statements of operations for the period from November 1, 2006 through January 15, 2007.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements.  These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” and “would” or similar words.  You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position, or state other forward-looking information.  The factors described in our filings with the SEC, as well as any cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

·                  risks related to the government contracting industry, including possible changes in government spending priorities;

14




 

·                  risks related to our business, including our dependence on contracts with U.S. Federal Government agencies and departments and continued good relations, and being successful in competitive bidding, with those customers;

·                  uncertainties as to whether revenues corresponding to our contract backlog will actually be received;

·                  risks related to the implementation of our strategic plan, including the ability to make acquisitions and the performance and future integration of acquired businesses; and

·                  other risks and uncertainties disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”  Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.

The terms the “Company,” “we” and “our” as used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to ATS Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

ATS Corporation (“ATS”) was organized as a “blank check” company under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 12, 2005 and was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination, an operating business in the federal services and defense industries. As of the close of business on  January 15, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (“ATSI”), a provider of systems integration and application development to the U.S. government, for (a) $84.0 million in cash, reduced by a working capital adjustment, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness of ATSI and an aggregate of $8.395 million of escrowed funds, and (b) 173,913 shares of our common stock.  The terms of the agreement provided that the former shareholders of ATSI could benefit from certain earn out opportunities if certain adjusted EBITDA thresholds were achieved.  Based on the financial results to date, the Company does not anticipate any payout under the earn out provisions.   In addition, on March 1, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Reliable Integration Services, Inc. (“RISI”), a network systems integrator provider serving U.S. government defense and civilian agencies, for $1.3 million in the form of cash, promissory notes and the assumption of debt, plus 46,296 shares of our common stock.

ATS (www.atsva.com) is a professional services firm serving both the Federal Government and state and local government agencies, specializing in systems integration and application development; information technology infrastructure management to support its clients’ program or system objectives through the design and implementation of customized solutions;  strategic information technology consulting (business process redesign); and network management.

Our diverse customer base consists primarily of U.S. government agencies. The following schedule presents the breakdown by agency and customer for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007. ATS’ largest clients in the six months ended June 30, 2007 were the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Fannie Mae, representing approximately  23% and 17%, respectively, of its total revenue.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the percentages were 24% for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and 18% for Fannie Mae.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from fees for consulting services.  We generate these fees from contracts with various payment arrangements, including time and materials contracts, fixed-price contracts and cost-reimbursable contracts.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues from these contract types were approximately 55%, 40% and 5%, respectively, of total revenues.  We typically issue invoices monthly to manage outstanding accounts receivable balances.  We recognize revenues on time and materials contracts based on actual hours delivered at the contracted billable hourly rates plus the cost of materials incurred.  We recognize revenues on fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method based on costs we incurred in relation to total estimated costs.  However, if the contract has a service element, we recognize revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.  We recognize cost-type contracts to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned.

On occasion, we enter into contracts that include the delivery of a combination of two or more of our service offerings.  Typically, such multiple-element arrangements incorporate the design, development, or modification of systems and an ongoing obligation to manage, staff, maintain, host, or otherwise run solutions and systems provided to the client.  Such contracts are divided into separate units of accounting, and the total arrangement fee is allocated to each unit based on its relative fair value when evidence of such fair value is known.  In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, revenue is recognized separately for each element.

The fees under certain government contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions that measure actual performance against targets or other criteria.  Such incentive fee awards or penalties are included in revenue at the time the amounts can be reasonably determined.  Provisions for anticipated contract losses are recognized at the time they become known.

Our most significant expense is direct costs, which consist primarily of project personnel salaries and benefits, and direct expenses incurred to complete projects.  The number of consulting personnel assigned to a project will vary according to the size, complexity, duration, and demands of the project.  As of June 30, 2007, we had 442 personnel who worked on our contracts.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our executive management, finance and administrative groups, human resources, sales and marketing personnel, and costs associated with marketing and bidding on future projects, unassigned consulting personnel, personnel training, occupancy costs, depreciation and amortization, travel and all other branch and corporate costs.

Investment and other income consist primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Contract Backlog

We define backlog as the future revenue we expect to receive from our contracts and other engagements.  We generally include in backlog the estimated revenue represented by contract options that have been priced, though not exercised.  We do not include any estimate of revenue relating to potential future delivery orders that might be awarded under our General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contracts, other Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity  (IDIQ) contracts, or other contract vehicles that are also held by a large number of firms, an order which potential further delivery orders or task orders might be issued by any of a large number of different agencies and are likely to be subject to a competitive bidding process.  At June 30, 2007, our backlog was approximately $127.5 million, of which $41.5 million was funded.

Recent Events

On January 16, 2007, we announced that the board of directors of the Company had approved the repurchase of up to $15 million of either the Company’s common stock or its warrants.  Through June 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased a total of 2,811,400 shares of common stock for a total of approximately $13.5 million and 870,533 warrants for approximately $351,000.

Results of Operations

We acquired ATSI as of close of business on January 15, 2007, and acquired RISI on March 1, 2007.  Prior to our acquisition of the ATSI business, we had no operations and generated no revenue.  Accordingly, we are presenting three comparisons, two for the successor company and one for the predecessor company.  The first of the two successor company comparisons compares our results for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2006 only reflect the results of ATS, which had no operations during the quarter.

The second comparison for the successor company compares the results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  For the period ended June 30, 2007, these results reflect 5.5 months of revenues and expenses for ATSI and 4 months of revenues and expenses for RISI, which correspond to the dates these companies were acquired during the first quarter.  The results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 only reflect the results of ATS, which had no operations during the period.

The predecessor comparison we are providing is that of ATSI for the three-and six-month periods ending April 30, 2006 which correspond to the first two quarters of the predecessor company’s prior fiscal year.

Our revenues and operating results may be subject to significant variation from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors, including the progress of contracts, revenue earned on contracts, the number of billable days in a quarter, the timing of the pass-through of other direct costs, the commencement and completion of contracts during any particular quarter, the schedule of the government agencies for awarding contracts, the term of each contract that we have been awarded, and general economic conditions.  Because a significant portion of our expenses, such as personnel and facilities costs, are fixed in the short term, successful contract performance and variation in the volume of activity, as well as in the number of contracts commenced or completed during any quarter, may cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.

The Federal Government’s fiscal year ends September 30.  If the budget for the next fiscal year has not been approved by that date, our clients may have to suspend engagements that we are working on until a budget has been approved.  Such suspensions may cause us to realize lower revenues in the fourth calendar quarter of the year.  Further, a change in presidential administrations and in senior government officials may negatively affect the rate at which the Federal Government purchases technology.

As a result of the factors above, period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results may not be meaningful.  You should not rely on these comparisons as indicators of future performance as no assurances can be given that quarterly results will not fluctuate, causing a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Results of Operations for the Successor Company for the Three Months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues and cost of services. The Company had no operating revenues or cost of services in the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $26.2 million of revenues and $18.7 million of cost of services in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses of $300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were related to the pursuit of potential acquisition candidates. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the $6.2 million of selling and administrative expenses were related to the operations of ATSI and RISI.

Depreciation and amortization.  There was no depreciation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the $100,000 of depreciation expense was related to ATSI and RISI operations.

Amortization of intangible assets. There was no amortization of intangible assets in the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the $900,000 of amortization expense was related to the recording of intangible assets after the acquisitions of ATSI and RISI.

Interest income (expense).  Interest income was $7,500 and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The interest for the period ended June 30, 2006 was primarily related to earnings on funds that were held in trust until the Company consummated an acquisition, which occurred on January 15, 2007.

Gain (Loss) on warrant liabilities.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a gain of $11.8 million from the change in the fair value of the warrant liability.  Because the warrant agreement, until March 14, 2007, was silent as to whether we were required to net cash settle the warrants if we were unable to deliver common stock to the warrants holders, we were required to mark the warrants to market as liabilities and therefore recognize gains or losses on the increase or decrease in the fair market value of the warrants as reflected in the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Effective March 14, 2007, the warrant agreement was clarified to state that we are not required to net cash settle the instruments if we are unable to deliver shares of common stock to the warrant holders.  As a result,  we are no longer required to mark the liability to fair value and the liability was reclassified in the first quarter of 2007 to additional paid in capital.

 Income (loss) before income tax.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007, income before tax was $300,000 as compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 of which $11.8 million was attributed to the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

Provision for income taxes.   Our income tax expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was $170,000  and $500,000, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 57.9% compared with 3.89% for the same period in 2006 due to the non deductibility of the loss from change in fair value of the warrant liability and amortization expenses.

Results of Operations for the Successor Company for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues and cost of services. The Company had no operating revenues or cost of services in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $49.7 million of revenues and $35.2 million in cost of services in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses of $900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were related to the pursuit of potential acquisition candidates. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the $12.2 million of selling and administrative expenses were related to the operations of ATSI and RISI.

Depreciation and amortization.  There was no depreciation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the $300,000 of depreciation expense was related to ATSI and RISI operations.

Amortization of intangible assets. There was no amortization of intangible assets in the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the $1.7 million of amortization expense reflects the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of ATSI and RISI.

Interest income (expense).  Interest income was $150,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007, and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The interest income for the period ended June 30, 2006 was primarily related to earnings on funds that were held in trust until the Company consummated an acquisition, which occurred on January 15, 2007.

Gain (Loss) on warrant liabilities.  There was a loss on warrant liabilities in the amount of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and a gain of  $800,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.  Because the warrant agreement, until March 14, 2007, was silent as to whether we were required to net cash settle the warrants if we were unable to deliver common stock to the warrants holders, we were required to mark the warrants to market as liabilities and therefore recognize gains or losses on the increase or decrease in the fair market value of the warrants as reflected in the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Effective March 14, 2007, the warrant agreement was clarified to state that we are not required to net cash settle the instruments if we are unable to deliver shares of common stock to the warrant holders.  As a result, we are no longer required to mark the liability to fair value and the liability was reclassified in the first quarter of 2007 to additional paid in capital.

Income (loss) before income tax.  The (loss) before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $6.4 million, primarily due to change in the fair value of the warrant liability. For the six months ended June 30, 2006,  income before taxes was $2.5 million, primarily because of the interest income.

Provision for income taxes.   The provision for income tax was $274,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $765,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Results of Operations for the Successor Company for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with the Three Months Ended April 30, 2006 for the Predecessor Company.

Revenues.  Revenues decreased by 13% to $26.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, from $30.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006.  The decline in revenues between these two periods is primarily related to the winding down of one major contract and several smaller ones.

20




 

Cost of services.  Cost of services decreased by 15% to $18.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, from $22.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006.  Cost of services did not decrease in proportion to the decrease in revenues primarily due to the increased compensation costs during the current year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 7% to $6.2 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 from $6.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006.  The primary reasons for this decrease were factors related to the acquisition of ATSI by ATS.  During the period ending April 30, 2006, ATSI incurred a large amount of expenses relating to its sale and compensation for the previous owners which did not recur in the three-month period ended June 30, 2007.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 32% to $130,000 for the three- month period ended June 30, 2007, from $190,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006.  The predecessor company used the double declining balance method of depreciating assets whereas, during the 2007 quarter the successor company valued the assets acquired in the acquisition of ATSI and RISI at the fair market value as of the dates of acquisition and depreciation was adjusted in the quarter to reflect the straight line method of depreciation from each acquisition date.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $900,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 from $7,300 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2006 because of the amortization of  intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of ATSI and RISI.

Operating Income (loss).  Operating income decreased 75% to $0.28 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 from $1.13 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006, due to the decrease in revenues and amortization of intangible assets.

Interest income (expense).  Interest income increased to $7,500 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 from an expense of $0.13 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006, because of lowered borrowings during the 2007 period.

Provision for income taxes.   The provision for income tax decreased by 60% to $170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $430,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 because of the decrease in income. The effective tax rates for the periods ended June 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006 were 57.9% and 43.0%, respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate was due to to the non deductibility of the loss from change in fair value of the warrant liability and amoritization expenses.

Results of Operations for the Successor Company for the Six Months ended June 30, 2007 Compared with the Six Months Ended April 30, 2006 for the Predecessor Company.

Revenues.  Revenues decreased by 11% to $49.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, from $56.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006.  The decline in revenue between these two periods is primarily related to a winding down of a contract and the fact that the period ended June 30, 2007 reflects five and one half months of  revenue as opposed to a full six months of revenue for 2006.

Cost of services.  Cost of services decreased by less than 13% to $35.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, from $40.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006.  Cost of services did not decrease in proportion to the decrease in revenues primarily due to the increased compensation costs during this period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 8% to $12.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 from $13.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006.  The primary reasons were factors related to the acquisition of ATSI by ATS.  ATSI was required to pay $4.7 million in retention bonuses (including associated payroll taxes),  $1.7 million in payments under an employee stock option plan and phantom stock plan (including dividends), and $0.3 million in legal and accounting fees associated with the transaction.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 34% to $280,000 for the six- month period ended June 30, 2007, from $420,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.  The predecessor company used the double declining balance method of depreciating assets whereas during the 2007 period, the successor company valued the assets acquired in the acquisition of ATSI and RISI at the fair market value as of the dates of acquisition and depreciation was adjusted in the period to reflect the straight line method of depreciation from the acquisition dates.

21




 

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $1.7 million in the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 from $.03 million in the six-month period ended April 30, 2006 because of the amortization of the intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of ATSI and RISI.

Operating income (loss).  Operating income decreased 81% to $0.4 million for the six-month period ended June  30, 2007 from  $2.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006, due to the factors discussed above.

Interest income (expense).  Interest income increased to $0.15 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 from an expense of  $0.18 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006, because of  lower borrowings during the 2007 period.

Loss on derivative liabilities attributable to warrants.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred losses of $6.9 million on the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

Provision for income taxes.   The provision for income taxes decreased by 66% to $274,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $813,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 because of the decrease in income.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition.  Total assets decreased $8.3 million to $114.9 million as of  June 30, 2007 compared to $123.2 million as of December 31, 2006, primarily due to the repurchase of  shares and warrants.  The $121.0 million in short-term investments as of December 31, 2006 were used to acquire ATSI and RISI in the first quarter of 2007.

Our total liabilities increased to $21.4 million as of June 30, 2007 from $15.2 million as of December 31, 2006.  The increase was due to our acquisitions and offset by the decrease in the warrant liability.   As the warrant agreement was clarified effective March 14, 2007 to provide that we are not required to net cash settle the instruments if we are unable to deliver shares of common stock to the warrant holders, we are no longer required to mark the warrants to market and the warrants were classified during the first quarter as stockholders’ equity rather than liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  Our primary liquidity needs are to finance the costs of operations, acquire capital assets and to make selective strategic acquisitions.  We expect to meet our short-term requirements through funds generated from operations and from a credit facility with Bank of America, which was signed on June 4, 2007, as further discussed below.  Our cash requirements to fund acquisitions will also be funded by cash generated from operations and the aforementioned credit facility.

Net cash used by operating activities was $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, while net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2006 was $800,000.  Net cash used by operating activities of the predecessor was $5.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006.  Cash used by operating activities is primarily driven by net loss, adjusted for working capital changes, which were principally changes in accounts receivable, current assets and accrued expenses.

22




 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had $121.0 million from the sale of U.S. government securities while investing $79.4 million in the acquisition of ATSI and $1.0 million in the acquisition of RISI which comprised the majority of this investing activity.

Net cash used by financing activities was $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  This was principally used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

We expect to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The Company entered into a Credit Agreement with the Bank of America on June 4, 2007.  The Agreeement provides a $25.0 million line of credit with the option for the Company to increase the amount available under the credit facility up to $50.0 million.  The credit agreement bears interest at the LIBOR Rate plus between 150 to 225 basis points per annum, depending on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required  to meet certain financial covenants as further described.  The covenants are an asset coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.0, a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50 to 1.0 and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.0.  The covenants are tested based on the financial position of the Company at the end of each calendar quarter.   At June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance.  As of June 30, 2007, we had no outstanding balance on the line of credit.

Under some of our fixed-price contracts, we receive advance payments for work to be performed in future months.  If we do not perform the work, the unearned portion of these advances will be returned to our clients.  At June 30, 2007, our accounts receivable turnover rate, net of advance payments on contracts, was approximately five times a year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007 that require us to make future cash payments.  For contractual obligations, we included payments that we have an unconditional obligation to make.  Excluded from the following table are amounts already recorded on our balance sheet as liabilities at June 30, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 provides a new single authoritative definition of fair value and enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities.  It requires additional disclosures related to the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are currently evaluating what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, at specified election dates, to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to provide entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently, without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for accounting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008 and is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to certain financial market risks, the most predominant being fluctuations in interest rates for borrowings under our credit facility.  As of June 30, 2007, we had no outstanding balance under our line of credit.  We currently invest our excess funds in an overnight bank sweep account.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). We determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective because of the following material weaknesses as described below:

1.      Through December 31, 2006, we had no operations, no full-time personnel and very few personnel of any kind. Our activities from inception in late 2005 and into 2006 focused on completing our initial public offering, identifying acquisition candidates and then completing the acquisition of ATSI. As a result of these factors, we had neither the resources, nor the personnel, to have in place adequate internal control. The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relates primarily to our inability to segregate duties.

2.      In addition, we lacked documentation of the policies and procedures that were in place.

With the completion of the acquisition of ATSI in January 2007, we have additional personnel to address the segregation of duties in our financial reporting process.  We are in the process of addressing the internal control weaknesses summarized above,  with the goal of eliminating such deficiencies by the end of 2007. In addition, the acquisition of ATSI will require the development of more robust disclosure controls and procedures, which we also are in the process of  developing.

It was determined during the audit of ATSI’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, that ATSI had material weaknesses in its internal control.  ATSI did not have in place policies or controls that required the accounting and finance department to review and evaluate contracts that were at risk to determine the proper revenue recognition.  In addition, ATSI did not have a process in place to review the collectibility of its accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine the need, if any, for reserves.  Subsequent to the acquisition of ATSI by the Company, procedures have been put in place to address these two issues and to monitor them on a regular basis.

There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the first and second quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no assessment of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are involved in various legal matters and proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are no material updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we encounter. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and /or operating results.

Exhibit 10.2

ATS CORPORATION

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT

This Restricted Share Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between ATS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and Pamela A. Little (the “Participant”), an employee of the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries, and is effective as of May 4, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

1.             Award of Restricted Shares.  Subject to the provisions of the ATS Corporation 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant 60,000 shares (the “Award”) of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to which the restrictions referred to in Section 2 (the “Vesting Conditions”) attach (the “Restricted Shares”).

2.             Vesting Conditions.

(a)           Vesting Schedule.  Of the Restricted Shares, 10,000 shall be vested immediately as of the date of this Agreement.  The balance of 50,000 Restricted Shares  shall be initially unvested (the unvested shares of Restricted Shares are referred to in this Agreement as the “Unvested Shares”) and shall vest, if at all, as provided in this Section 2 over the period ending May 4, 2011 (the “Vesting Period”).   Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c) below, 12,500 of the Unvested Shares shall vest on May 4, 2008 and upon each anniversary thereof, provided that the Participant is employed by the Corporation on a full-time basis on such date (each, a “Vesting Date”).

(b)           Rounding.  The number of shares of Restricted Shares vesting as of a particular Vesting Date shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share; provided, however, that all remaining Unvested Shares shall vest completely on the final Vesting Date.

(c)           Other Vesting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, all of the Restricted Shares shall vest immediately upon a “Change of Control,” as defined below, at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean an occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)                                     an acquisition (other than directly from the Corporation) of any voting securities of the Corporation (the “Voting Securities”) by any “person or group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) other than an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, immediately after which such person or group has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding Voting Securities; or




(ii)                                  the consummation of (1) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Corporation, unless the company resulting from such merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) shall adopt or assume this Agreement and the stockholders of the Corporation immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization own, directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, or (3) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

3.             Rights During Vesting Period.  The Participant generally does not have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Shares to be distributed until he has become the holder of such Restricted Shares.  Further, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the following restrictions shall apply to shares of Restricted Shares prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions as to those shares:  (a) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of a certificate for the Restricted Shares until the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions; (b) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions; and (c) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Plan, the Participant shall forfeit and immediately transfer back to the Corporation without payment all of the Restricted Shares, and all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation, if and when the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions.  As a condition of the Award, the Corporation may require the Participant to deliver to the Corporation a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award.

4.             Satisfaction of Vesting Conditions.  Upon the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions as to particular shares of Restricted Shares, the restrictions on the applicable number of shares of Restricted Shares shall terminate and a stock certificate for such number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, free and clear of all such restrictions, to the Participant or, subject to Section 5, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 8(e).  The Corporation shall not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock, but will pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market value of such fractional share to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.  The Corporation shall pay any original issue tax that may be due upon the issuance of the Restricted Shares and all other costs incurred by the Corporation in issuing such shares of Common Stock.

5.             Nontransferability of Restricted Shares.  The Restricted Shares are not transferable by the Participant prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the Vesting Conditions, the Award and Restricted Shares may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred except as aforesaid, or encumbered.  Any attempted assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance or disposition of the Restricted Shares contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Restricted Shares, shall be null and void and without effect.

2




6.             Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization and Similar Events.  The committee of the Corporation designated by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) has the discretion to make an adjustment to the Restricted Shares in the event the Corporation engages in a dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the Corporation, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other securities of the Corporation, or other similar transactions.  If such an adjustment is deemed appropriate or desirable by the Committee, then it may adjust any or all of the terms of this Agreement, including (i) the number of Restricted Shares or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to this Agreement; or (ii) make provision for a cash payment to the Participant in consideration for the cancellation of such Award.

7.             Compliance with Securities Laws; Legend on Share Certificates.

(a)           As of the Effective Date, the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under any applicable state securities laws (the Securities Act and such state laws being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Securities Laws”).  Although the Corporation intends to register such Restricted Shares, until it does so, the Restricted Shares shall not be transferrable except pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Laws.  The Participant represents that the Participant (i) is acquiring the Restricted Shares for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to reselling, splitting, sharing or otherwise participating in a distribution thereof in violation of any Securities Laws, (ii) understands that the effect of such representation is that the Restricted Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Laws or an exemption from such registration is available at the time of any proposed sale or other transfer thereof, (iii) understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the Restricted Shares for resale, and (iv) is fully familiar with the circumstances under which the Participant is required to hold the Restricted Shares and the limitations upon transfer or other disposition thereof.

(b)           The Participant agrees that, until the Restricted Shares have been registered under the Securities Laws, each certificate for the Restricted Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following forms:

(i)            The shares represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under the state securities or blue sky laws of any state.  Such shares may not be sold or transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation that such registration is not required.

3




(ii)           The sale or other transfer of the shares represented hereby is subject to certain restrictions contained in a certain Restricted Share Agreement by and between the registered owner and ATS Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, to which reference is hereby made for a full statement of provisions thereof.  A copy of said Agreement will be furnished to any stockholder on request and writing in without charge.

(c)           The Corporation shall notify the Participant upon completion of the registration of the Restricted Shares under the Securities Laws, at which point the restrictions pursuant to Section 7(a) and the restrictive legends of Section 7(b) of this Agreement are no longer applicable.

8.             Miscellaneous.

(a)           Notices.  Any notice hereunder shall be in writing, and delivered or sent by first-class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall not terminate or expire if such termination or expiration would be contrary to applicable law.

(c)           No Employment Rights.  Nothing in the Plan, this Agreement or the Award shall confer upon the Participant any rights to continued employment with the Corporation or shall interfere with the right of the Corporation to terminate the Participant’s employment with the Corporation.

4




(d)           Section 83(b) Election.  If the Participant elects, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or subsequent comparable statute (the “Code”), to recognize ordinary income in the year in which the Restricted Shares are awarded, the Participant shall furnish to the Corporation a copy of a completed and signed election form and shall pay (or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation to pay) to the Corporation, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, any Federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Award.

(e)           Withholding.  Prior to the expiration of the Vesting Period as to particular shares of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall make arrangements with the Corporation to pay or otherwise satisfy any Federal, state and local tax withholding requirements with respect to such shares.  The Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld or collected with respect to the Award.

(f)            Corporation’s Rights.  The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(k)           Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the written mutual consent of the parties hereto.

5




(l)            Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person has become a party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof.

(m)          Impact on Other Benefits.  The value of the Restricted Shares (either on the date hereof or at the time the Restricted Shares vest) shall not be includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any benefit plan offered by the Corporation.

Exhibit 10.4

ATS CORPORATION

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT

This Restricted Share Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between ATS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and Ginger Lew (the “Participant”), a director of the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries, and is effective as of June 18, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

1.             Award of Restricted Shares.  Subject to the provisions of the ATS Corporation 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant 19,890 shares (the “Award”) of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to which the restrictions referred to in Section 2 (the “Vesting Conditions”) attach (the “Restricted Shares”).

2.             Vesting Conditions.

(a)           Vesting Schedule.  The Restricted Shares shall be initially unvested (the unvested shares of Restricted Shares are referred to in this Agreement as the “Unvested Shares”) and shall vest, if at all, as provided in this Section 2 over the period ending June 18, 2012 (the “Vesting Period”).   Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c) below, twenty percent (20%) of the Restricted Shares shall vest upon each anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that the Participant is serving as a director of the Corporation on such date (each, a “Vesting Date”).

(b)           Rounding.  The number of shares of Restricted Shares vesting as of a particular Vesting Date shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share; provided, however, that all remaining Unvested Shares shall vest completely on the final Vesting Date.

(c)           Other Vesting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, all of the Restricted Shares shall vest (i) as provided in Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement of even date herewith between the Corporation and the Participant and (ii) immediately upon a “Change of Control,” as defined below, at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean an occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)                                     an acquisition (other than directly from the Corporation) of any voting securities of the Corporation (the “Voting Securities”) by any “person or group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) other than an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, immediately after which such person or group has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding Voting Securities; or




(ii)                                  the consummation of (1) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Corporation, unless the company resulting from such merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) shall adopt or assume this Agreement and the stockholders of the Corporation immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization own, directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, or (3) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

3.             Rights During Vesting Period.  The Participant generally does not have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Shares to be distributed until he has become the holder of such Restricted Shares.  Further, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the following restrictions shall apply to shares of Restricted Shares prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions as to those shares:  (a) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of a certificate for the Restricted Shares until the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions; (b) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions; and (c) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Plan, the Participant shall forfeit and immediately transfer back to the Corporation without payment all of the Restricted Shares, and all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation, if and when the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions.  As a condition of the Award, the Corporation may require the Participant to deliver to the Corporation a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award.

4.             Satisfaction of Vesting Conditions.  Upon the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions as to particular shares of Restricted Shares, the restrictions on the applicable number of shares of Restricted Shares shall terminate and a stock certificate for such number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, free and clear of all such restrictions, to the Participant or, subject to Section 5, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 8(e).  The Corporation shall not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock, but will pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market value of such fractional share to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.  The Corporation shall pay any original issue tax that may be due upon the issuance of the Restricted Shares and all other costs incurred by the Corporation in issuing such shares of Common Stock.

5.             Nontransferability of Restricted Shares.  The Restricted Shares are not transferable by the Participant prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the Vesting Conditions, the Award and Restricted Shares may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred except as aforesaid, or encumbered.  Any attempted assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance or disposition of the Restricted Shares contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Restricted Shares, shall be null and void and without effect.

2




6.             Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization and Similar Events.  The committee of the Corporation designated by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) has the discretion to make an adjustment to the Restricted Shares in the event the Corporation engages in a dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the Corporation, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other securities of the Corporation, or other similar transactions.  If such an adjustment is deemed appropriate or desirable by the Committee, then it may adjust any or all of the terms of this Agreement, including (i) the number of Restricted Shares or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to this Agreement; or (ii) make provision for a cash payment to the Participant in consideration for the cancellation of such Award.

7.             Compliance with Securities Laws; Legend on Share Certificates.

(a)           As of the Effective Date, the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under any applicable state securities laws (the Securities Act and such state laws being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Securities Laws”).  Although the Corporation intends to register such Restricted Shares, until it does so, the Restricted Shares shall not be transferrable except pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Laws.  The Participant represents that the Participant (i) is acquiring the Restricted Shares for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to reselling, splitting, sharing or otherwise participating in a distribution thereof in violation of any Securities Laws, (ii) understands that the effect of such representation is that the Restricted Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Laws or an exemption from such registration is available at the time of any proposed sale or other transfer thereof, (iii) understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the Restricted Shares for resale, and (iv) is fully familiar with the circumstances under which the Participant is required to hold the Restricted Shares and the limitations upon transfer or other disposition thereof.

(b)           The Participant agrees that, until the Restricted Shares have been registered under the Securities Laws, each certificate for the Restricted Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following forms:

(i)            The shares represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under the state securities or blue sky laws of any state.  Such shares may not be sold or transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation that such registration is not required.

3




(ii)           The sale or other transfer of the shares represented hereby is subject to certain restrictions contained in a certain Restricted Share Agreement by and between the registered owner and ATS Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, to which reference is hereby made for a full statement of provisions thereof.  A copy of said Agreement will be furnished to any stockholder on request and writing in without charge.

(c)           The Corporation shall notify the Participant upon completion of the registration of the Restricted Shares under the Securities Laws, at which point the restrictions pursuant to Section 7(a) and the restrictive legends of Section 7(b) of this Agreement are no longer applicable.

8.             Miscellaneous.

(a)           Notices.  Any notice hereunder shall be in writing, and delivered or sent by first-class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to:

(i)                                     if to the Corporation, at:

ATS Corporation

Attn:  Chief Financial Officer

(ii)                                  if to the Participant, at the address shown on the signature page hereof,

subject to the right of either party, by written notice hereunder, to designate at any time hereafter some other address.

(b)           Compliance with Law and Regulations.  The Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable Federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall not terminate or expire if such termination or expiration would be contrary to applicable law.

(c)           No Employment Rights.  Nothing in the Plan, this Agreement or the Award shall confer upon the Participant any rights to continued employment with the Corporation or shall interfere with the right of the Corporation to terminate the Participant’s employment with the Corporation.

4




(d)           Section 83(b) Election.  If the Participant elects, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or subsequent comparable statute (the “Code”), to recognize ordinary income in the year in which the Restricted Shares are awarded, the Participant shall furnish to the Corporation a copy of a completed and signed election form and shall pay (or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation to pay) to the Corporation, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, any Federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Award.

(e)           Withholding.  Prior to the expiration of the Vesting Period as to particular shares of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall make arrangements with the Corporation to pay or otherwise satisfy any Federal, state and local tax withholding requirements with respect to such shares.  The Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld or collected with respect to the Award.

(f)            Corporation’s Rights.  The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(h)           Plan Governs.  The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by its terms, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan shall govern in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan.

(j)            Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Restricted Shares granted hereunder.  Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.  The foregoing sentence is not intended to apply to, void or in any way affect the employment and related agreements by and between the Corporation and the Participant or the terms, conditions, rights and obligations of the parties thereto.

(k)           Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the written mutual consent of the parties hereto.

5




(l)            Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person has become a party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof.

(m)          Impact on Other Benefits.  The value of the Restricted Shares (either on the date hereof or at the time the Restricted Shares vest) shall not be includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any benefit plan offered by the Corporation.

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT

This Restricted Share Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between ATS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and Edward J. Smith (the “Participant”), a director of the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries, and is effective as of March 29, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

1.             Award of Restricted Shares.  Subject to the provisions of the ATS Corporation 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant 32,877 shares (the “Award”) of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to which the restrictions referred to in Section 2 (the “Vesting Conditions”) attach (the “Restricted Shares”).

2.             Vesting Conditions.

(a)           Vesting Schedule.  The Restricted Shares shall be initially unvested (the unvested shares of Restricted Shares are referred to in this Agreement as the “Unvested Shares”) and shall vest, if at all, as provided in this Section 2 over the period ending March 29, 2012 (the “Vesting Period”).   Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c) below, twenty percent (20%) of the Restricted Shares shall vest upon each anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that the Participant is serving as a director of the Corporation on such date (each, a “Vesting Date”).

(b)           Rounding.  The number of shares of Restricted Shares vesting as of a particular Vesting Date shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share; provided, however, that all remaining Unvested Shares shall vest completely on the final Vesting Date.

(c)           Other Vesting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, all of the Restricted Shares shall vest (i) as provided in Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement of even date herewith between the Corporation and the Participant and (ii) immediately upon a “Change of Control,” as defined below, at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean an occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)                                     an acquisition (other than directly from the Corporation) of any voting securities of the Corporation (the “Voting Securities”) by any “person or group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) other than an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, immediately after which such person or group has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding Voting Securities; or




(ii)                                  the consummation of (1) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Corporation, unless the company resulting from such merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) shall adopt or assume this Agreement and the stockholders of the Corporation immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization own, directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, or (3) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

3.             Rights During Vesting Period.  The Participant generally does not have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Shares to be distributed until he has become the holder of such Restricted Shares.  Further, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the following restrictions shall apply to shares of Restricted Shares prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions as to those shares:  (a) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of a certificate for the Restricted Shares until the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions; (b) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions; and (c) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Plan, the Participant shall forfeit and immediately transfer back to the Corporation without payment all of the Restricted Shares, and all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation, if and when the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions.  As a condition of the Award, the Corporation may require the Participant to deliver to the Corporation a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award.

4.             Satisfaction of Vesting Conditions.  Upon the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions as to particular shares of Restricted Shares, the restrictions on the applicable number of shares of Restricted Shares shall terminate and a stock certificate for such number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, free and clear of all such restrictions, to the Participant or, subject to Section 5, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, subject to the provisions of Sections 7 and 8(e).  The Corporation shall not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock, but will pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market value of such fractional share to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.  The Corporation shall pay any original issue tax that may be due upon the issuance of the Restricted Shares and all other costs incurred by the Corporation in issuing such shares of Common Stock.

5.             Nontransferability of Restricted Shares.  The Restricted Shares are not transferable by the Participant prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the Vesting Conditions, the Award and Restricted Shares may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred except as aforesaid, or encumbered.  Any attempted assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance or disposition of the Restricted Shares contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Restricted Shares, shall be null and void and without effect.

2




6.             Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization and Similar Events.  The committee of the Corporation designated by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) has the discretion to make an adjustment to the Restricted Shares in the event the Corporation engages in a dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the Corporation, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other securities of the Corporation, or other similar transactions.  If such an adjustment is deemed appropriate or desirable by the Committee, then it may adjust any or all of the terms of this Agreement, including (i) the number of Restricted Shares or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to this Agreement; or (ii) make provision for a cash payment to the Participant in consideration for the cancellation of such Award.

7.             Compliance with Securities Laws; Legend on Share Certificates.

(a)           As of the Effective Date, the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under any applicable state securities laws (the Securities Act and such state laws being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Securities Laws”).  Although the Corporation intends to register such Restricted Shares, until it does so, the Restricted Shares shall not be transferrable except pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Laws.  The Participant represents that the Participant (i) is acquiring the Restricted Shares for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to reselling, splitting, sharing or otherwise participating in a distribution thereof in violation of any Securities Laws, (ii) understands that the effect of such representation is that the Restricted Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Laws or an exemption from such registration is available at the time of any proposed sale or other transfer thereof, (iii) understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the Restricted Shares for resale, and (iv) is fully familiar with the circumstances under which the Participant is required to hold the Restricted Shares and the limitations upon transfer or other disposition thereof.

(b)           The Participant agrees that, until the Restricted Shares have been registered under the Securities Laws, each certificate for the Restricted Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following forms:

(i)            The shares represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under the state securities or blue sky laws of any state.  Such shares may not be sold or transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation that such registration is not required.

3




(ii)           The sale or other transfer of the shares represented hereby is subject to certain restrictions contained in a certain Restricted Share Agreement by and between the registered owner and ATS Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, to which reference is hereby made for a full statement of provisions thereof.  A copy of said Agreement will be furnished to any stockholder on request and writing in without charge.

(c)           The Corporation shall notify the Participant upon completion of the registration of the Restricted Shares under the Securities Laws, at which point the restrictions pursuant to Section 7(a) and the restrictive legends of Section 7(b) of this Agreement are no longer applicable.

8.             Miscellaneous.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall not terminate or expire if such termination or expiration would be contrary to applicable law.

(c)           No Employment Rights.  Nothing in the Plan, this Agreement or the Award shall confer upon the Participant any rights to continued employment with the Corporation or shall interfere with the right of the Corporation to terminate the Participant’s employment with the Corporation.

4




(d)           Section 83(b) Election.  If the Participant elects, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or subsequent comparable statute (the “Code”), to recognize ordinary income in the year in which the Restricted Shares are awarded, the Participant shall furnish to the Corporation a copy of a completed and signed election form and shall pay (or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation to pay) to the Corporation, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, any Federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Award.

(e)           Withholding.  Prior to the expiration of the Vesting Period as to particular shares of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall make arrangements with the Corporation to pay or otherwise satisfy any Federal, state and local tax withholding requirements with respect to such shares.  The Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld or collected with respect to the Award.

(f)            Corporation’s Rights.  The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(g)           Employment by Affiliates.  For the purpose of this Agreement, employment by a parent or subsidiary of, or a successor to, the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation.  “Parent” and “subsidiary” as used herein shall have the meaning of “parent” and “subsidiary corporation,” respectively, as defined in Section 424 of the Code.

(h)           Plan Governs.  The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by its terms, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan shall govern in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan.

(i)            Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

(j)            Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Restricted Shares granted hereunder.  Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.  The foregoing sentence is not intended to apply to, void or in any way affect the employment and related agreements by and between the Corporation and the Participant or the terms, conditions, rights and obligations of the parties thereto.

(k)           Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the written mutual consent of the parties hereto.

5




(l)            Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person has become a party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof.

(m)          Impact on Other Benefits.  The value of the Restricted Shares (either on the date hereof or at the time the Restricted Shares vest) shall not be includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any benefit plan offered by the Corporation.

(n)           Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(o)           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
