Background

As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on April 28, 2008, VSE Corporation
("VSE") and Donald M. Ervine ("Mr. Ervine")entered into an agreement dated
April 22, 2008 (the "Transition Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Ervine,
effective as of April 28, 2008, resigned as VSE's Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chief Operating Officer and agreed to serve as VSE's Executive
Chairman of  VSE's board of directors until December 31, 2008, followed by
service as VSE's Non-executive Chairman of VSE's board of directors for a
period of two years from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010.  For a
description of the Transition Agreement, please see Item 5.02 of the Form 8-K
filed on April 28, 2008.  Further, a copy of the Transition Agreement may be
found as Exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K filed on April 28, 2008.

Amendments to the Transition Agreement

On December 30, 2008, VSE and Mr. Ervine executed a Statement of Amendment
Number One to the Transition Agreement for the purpose of modifying certain
provisions of the Transition Agreement to ensure compliance with Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The modifications generally
relate to the timing aspects of certain compensatory provisions in the
Transition Agreement.  A copy of the Statement of Amendment Number One is filed
as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.

On December 31, 2008, VSE and Mr. Ervine executed a Statement of Amendment
Number Two to the Transition Agreement for the purpose of extending the terms
of Mr. Ervine's services under the Transition Agreement (a) as Executive
Chairman until March 31, 2009, and (b) as Non-Executive Chairman until
March 31, 2011.  As a result of the extension of Mr. Ervine's services as
Executive Chairman until March 31, 2009, the Statement of Amendment Number Two
also provides that Mr. Ervine will participate in VSE's 2006 Restricted Stock
Plan, on a pro rata basis (being one fourth of the restricted stock award that
Mr. Ervine would have otherwise been entitled had he been a participant for the
entire fiscal year), for restricted stock awards in respect of VSE's fiscal year
ending December 31, 2009.  A copy of the Statement of Amendment Number Two is
