RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as
of December 31, 2007 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”;
capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Credit Agreement), among Borrower, KeyBank National

Charge Coverage Ratio and Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenants set forth in
Sections 7.12(a), (b), (d) and (e));

Subordinated Convertible Notes issued by SYS, which will be a Subsidiary of the
Borrower upon the consummation of the Acquisition of SYS by the Borrower, in the
face amount of $3,125,000 (collectively the “Subordinated Notes”) as
Subordinated Debt for purposes of Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders have agreed to make such requested amendments to the Credit
Agreement and approve such Subordinated Notes;

“amounts representing actual transaction costs incurred by the target in any
Permitted Acquisition consummated by the Borrower in which 100% of the purchase

EXHIBIT A

 

FORM OF SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

This Subordination Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of
                    , 2008, is made by the Holder referred to below in favor of
the Secured Parties referred to below, in connection with the Note referred to
below.

 

WHEREAS, reference is made to (i) that certain Unsecured Subordinated
Convertible Note (the “Note”), dated as of                     , by SYS, a
California corporation (“Company”) in favor of                      (“Holder”),
in the face amount of $                    , (ii) that certain First Lien Credit
Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2007, by
and among Kratos Defense and Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Kratos”), the Lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as
Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “First Lien Agent” and, together
with the Lenders, the “First Lien Secured Parties”) and (iii) that certain
Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement” and, together
with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), dated as of
December 31, 2007, by and among Kratos, the Lenders party thereto and KeyBank
National Association, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Second
Lien Agent” and, together with the Lenders, the “Second Lien Secured Parties”). 
Except as otherwise noted below, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the First Lien Credit
Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization], dated as of February 20, 2008, Company is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kratos.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.12 of each Credit Agreement, Company is required,
within 45 days from the date hereof, to become a Guarantor under and as defined
in each Credit Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, Holder is or may become financially interested in Company or its
affiliates and desires to aid Company and its affiliates, including Kratos, in
obtaining or having continued financial accommodations, whether by way of loan,
commitment to loan, extensions of credit or other financial aid.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Lenders under each Credit Agreement to
extend or to continue to extend financial accommodations to the Kratos from time
to time, Holder hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.             Anything in the Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, to all Obligations (as defined in the First Lien Credit
Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable) of Company under
each Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the applicable
Credit Agreement), including Company’s Guaranty Obligations (as defined in each
Credit Agreement) under the Multi-Party Guarantee (as defined in each Credit
Agreement)(such Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection
with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including
interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such
proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Senior
Indebtedness”):

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(a)           If any Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Credit
Agreement) under either Credit Agreement has occurred and for so long as such
Event of Default is continuing, (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness
before Holder is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make
any demands for, any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness;
(y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect
of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution to
which Holder would otherwise be entitled shall be made to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness; and (z) Holder shall not exercise any remedies with respect to the
collection of the Subordinated Indebtedness against Company or any property or
assets of Company.

 

(b)           If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash,
securities or other property, in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall
(despite these subordination provisions) be received by Holder in violation of
clause (a) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash,
such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their
representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts
remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness
in full in cash.

 

2.             To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future
holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the
subordination of this Agreement by any act or failure to act on the part of
Company or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any
trustee or agent for such holder.  Company and Holder hereby agree that the
subordination of the Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to this agreement is for
the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured
Parties, the First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties are
obligees under this Agreement to the same extent as if their names were written
herein as such and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Agent
or the Second Lien Agent may, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties,
proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein.

 

3.             This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the
Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
any holder of Senior Indebtedness upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of any of the Credit Parties (as defined in each
Credit Agreement), or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any of the
Credit Parties (as defined in each Credit Agreement) or any substantial part of
the assets of any of them, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not
been made.

 

4.             Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above
is intended to or will impair, as between Company and Holder, the obligations of
Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to Holder the principal of
and interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness as and when due and payable in
accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights
of Holder and other creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
