Re: Assumption of Certain Options
Dear Bill:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 31,
2008 (the Merger Agreement), by and among SM&A, a Delaware corporation (the
Company), Project Victor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent), and
Project Victor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Capitalized terms used without definition herein have the meanings given to them in the Merger
Agreement.
The parties hereto, being all of the parties required to amend the Merger Agreement pursuant
to Section 9.2 of the Merger Agreement, hereby agree that the phrase prior to the date that is
five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date in the last sentence of Section 4.3(a)(i) of the
Merger Agreement is hereby amended to read prior to the Closing Date so that such sentence now
reads in its entirety as follows:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent may mutually agree prior to
the Closing Date that certain Company Options will not become fully vested and be
cancelled as provided above and instead be assumed by Parent concurrently with the
consummation of the Merger (any Company Option to be so assumed, an Assumed
Option).
All other terms of the Merger Agreement shall remain in effect and shall be unaffected by the
foregoing amendment.
Pursuant to such last sentence of Section 4.3(a)(i), as amended, the Company and Parent hereby
agree that all of the Company Options held by Cathy McCarthy that have an exercise
price of less
than $6.25 per share, which Company Options together allow for the purchase of 206,000 shares of
common stock of the Company, shall be Assumed Options.
This letter agreement, and the amendment herein, shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to such laws regarding choice or
conflict of laws, and may be executed in multiple counterparts by the parties hereto, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This letter agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect
to the matters set forth herein and supersedes any prior agreements among the parties with respect
to such matters.
Please indicate your agreement with the provisions of this letter agreement, and the amendment
set forth herein, by countersigning it where indicated below and returning it to the Company at the
address set forth above.
