 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 GLOBAL DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY & SYSTEMS, INC. 2009 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN 
 I. PURPOSE. 
 The Corporation has granted the Participant, pursuant to the
Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Corporation’s 2009 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a Stock Option to purchase certain shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Stock Option Agreement, the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Plan, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. References in this Agreement to “you” mean the Participant and any holder of shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option. Except as provided herein, capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Plan. 
 II.
KIND OF STOCK OPTION. 
 This Stock Option is intended to be either an incentive stock option, intended to meet the
requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (an “ISO”), or a nonqualified stock option (an “NSO”), which is not intended to meet the requirements of an ISO, as indicated in the Notice of Stock
Option Grant. Even if this Stock Option is designated as an ISO, it shall be deemed to be an NSO to the extent required by the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Code. 
 III. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTIONS. 
 A. Option Exercise: As provided in the Plan, the following rules shall apply to termination of Continuous Service (as defined in Section 2.I of the Plan): 
  

	 	1.	Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement, your Stock Option will be exercisable with respect to the number of shares that have
become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. After your Continuous Service terminates for any reason, vesting immediately stops and your Stock Option expires immediately as to the number of Shares that
are not vested as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service. 

  

	 	2.	If your termination of Continuous Service is by reason of death or Disability (defined for this purpose as having the meaning provided for in Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code), the right to exercise the Stock Option (to the extent that it is vested) will expire on the earlier of: (i) one (1) year after the date of your termination of Continuous Service; or (ii) the expiration date under the terms
of this Agreement and the Plan. Until the expiration date, your heirs, legatees or legal representative may exercise the Stock Option. 

  

	 	3.	If your termination of Continuous Service is an involuntary termination without Cause or a voluntary termination (other than a voluntary termination described in
Section III.A.4, below), the right to exercise the Stock Option (to the extent that it is vested) will expire on the earlier of: (i) three (3) months after the date of the your termination of Continuous Service; or (ii) the expiration
date under the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. If your termination of Continuous Service is an involuntary termination without Cause or a voluntary termination (other than a voluntary termination described in Section III.A.4, below) and you
die after your termination of Continuous Service but before your right to exercise the Stock Option has expired, the right to exercise the Stock Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the date of your termination of
Continuous Service, or (ii) the expiration date under the terms of this Agreement 

  
 GLOBAL DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY & SYSTEMS, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

 - 1 - 

	 	 
and the Plan, and, until expiration, your heirs, legatees or legal representative may exercise the Stock Option. 

  

	 	4.	If your termination of Continuous Service is for Cause (as defined in Section 2.D of the Plan) or is a voluntary termination at any time after an event which would
be grounds for your termination of Continuous Service for Cause (as defined in Section 2.D of the Plan), the right to exercise the Stock Option shall, automatically and without notice, expire as of the date of your termination of Continuous
Service. 

 B. Termination Date. Subject to earlier termination as provided in this Agreement and the Plan,
the right to exercise this Stock Option expires at 5:00 p.m. at the Corporation’s corporate headquarters on the tenth annual anniversary of the date of grant. 
 C. Non Transferability. This Stock Option is non-transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of Participant shall be exercisable only to the
Participant to whom the Stock Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, to the extent permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, an NSO may be transferred by you to one or more immediate family members or to a family
partnership or family trust established for your benefit and/or one or more of your family members to the extent permitted by the Plan. 
 D. Exercise. The vested portion of this Stock Option shall be exercised by delivery to the Corporation of (a) written or electronic notice of exercise stating the number of Shares being
purchased (in whole shares only) and such other information as the Corporation shall request and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price in cash or cash equivalents. Alternatively, you may pay all or part of the Exercise Price by surrendering, or
attesting to ownership of, shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock already owned by you, provided that shares acquired upon exercise a Stock option have been held by you for at least 6 months. Such shares shall be surrendered to the
Corporation in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of Stock Option exercise. To the extent that a public market for the Corporation’s Common Stock exists and to the extent permitted by applicable
law, in each case as determined by the Corporation, you also may exercise your Stock Option by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Corporation) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the
sale proceeds to the Corporation in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and, if requested, applicable withholding taxes. The Corporation will provide the forms necessary to make such a cashless exercise. The Corporation may permit such other
payment forms as it deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws, regulations and rules. 
 IV. TAX WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING.

 You will not be allowed to exercise this Stock Option unless you pay, or make acceptable arrangements to pay, any taxes
required to be withheld as a result of the Stock Option exercise or the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of this Stock Option. You hereby authorize withholding from payroll or any other payment due you from the Corporation or your employer to
satisfy any such withholding tax obligation. If you sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO on or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one year after the
exercise date, you shall immediately notify the Corporation in writing of such disposition. 
 V. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 A. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Corporation’s Stock, the number of
Shares covered by this Stock Option and the Exercise Price per share may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan. Your Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Corporation is
subject to such corporate activity as set forth in the Plan.

 B. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein. 
 C. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in agreements
executed contemporaneously herewith, this document embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or

laws.

in writing and shall be deemed to be delivered upon receipt or, in the case of notices by the Corporation, 5 days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Participant at the address last provided to the Corporation by
Participant for his or her employee records. 
 F. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Corporation and its successors and assigns and you and your successors and the respective successors and assigns of each of them, so long as they hold shares of Common Stock.

 G. Headings. Headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties
only, and shall be given no substantive or interpretative effect whatsoever. 
 H. Retention Rights. This Agreement does
not give you the right to be retained by the Corporation (or a Related Entity) in any capacity. The Corporation and each Related Entity reserves the right to terminate your service at any time and for any reason without thereby incurring any
liability to you.

 Exhibit 4.5 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
 GLOBAL DEFENSE
TECHNOLOGY & SYSTEMS, INC. 2009 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN 
 This Agreement is between
                                 (the “Participant”) and Global
Defense Technology & Systems, Inc. (the “Corporation”). This Agreement governs an award made to Participant pursuant to the Corporation’s 2009 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Corporation
and Participant agree as follows: 
 I. GRANT. 
 The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on                     ,
200     (the “Grant Date”) awarded the Participant                      shares of the
Corporation’s Common Stock subject to the vesting and other restrictions provided in this Agreement (the “Restricted Stock”). No payment by the Participant is required for the Restricted Stock. 
 II. VESTING. 
 The award
will vest on the following schedule. 
  

			
	 Period of
Continuous Service From
 Vesting Commencement Date
	  	 Percentage of Shares of
 Restricted Stock Vested

	 	 
	 	  	 
	 	 
	 	  	 
	 	 
	 	  	 
	 	  	 

 Each installment shall vest and thereby all restrictions shall be removed on the
installment so long as the Participant has remained in Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) through the day immediately preceding the date on which the installment is scheduled to vest. The remaining shares of Restricted Stock which have not
already vested shall vest and all restrictions shall be removed if the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is because of death or Disability (as defined in the Plan). If the Participant has a termination of Continuous Service and
such termination event does not result in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock, shares of Restricted Stock which have not vested shall be forfeited and returned to the Corporation. 
 III. STOCK CERTIFICATES AND RESTRICTIONS. 
 The full number of shares of the Restricted Stock have been deposited in an account for the Participant at the Corporation’s transfer agent. The Corporation reserves the right at its sole discretion
to change the financial institution or agent in which the shares are deposited or the certificates for shares are held. These shares are nontransferable and are otherwise subject to the Plan and this Agreement until the restrictions are removed or
the shares are returned to the Corporation. The Corporation may place such legends on any certificates for Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate. The Participant has the right to vote the full number of shares and to receive any declared
dividends or other distributions associated with the shares, [except that a dividend or distribution with respect to Restricted Stock which has not already vested which is paid in shares or other property which constitutes a “derivative
security” or “equity security” (within the meaning of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall continue to be subject to the vesting and other restrictions of this Agreement to the same extent as the Restricted
Stock to which such derivative security or equity security relates.] 
 IV. CORPORATE EVENT. 
 In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a
spin-off, a stock split, a recapitalization, a merger or a similar transaction affecting the Corporation’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money
paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are distributed to the Participant with respect to Restricted Stock which has not already vested shall immediately be subject to the vesting

  

 GLOBAL DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY &
SYSTEMS, INC. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 

- 1 - 

 
and other restrictions of this Agreement to the same extent as the Restricted Stock to which such distributed property relates. 
 V. TAXATION. 
 Participant understands that Section 83(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes as ordinary compensation income the fair market value of the Restricted Stock on the date as of which Participant’s right to retain the Restricted Stock vests. Thus,
the shares of Restricted Stock will vest and be taxable in increments on [            ]. Accelerated vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock will also accelerate the date of taxation.
Participant understands that Participant may elect to be taxed on the fair market value of some or all of the shares of Restricted Stock at the time such shares are transferred to Participant, rather than at those times when Participant’s right
to retain the Restricted Stock vests, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (a “Section 83(b) Election”) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of the transfer of the Restricted
Stock to Participant. Participant understands that failure to file such an election in a timely manner results in the inability to file such election. Participant further understands that an additional copy of such election form should be filed with
Participant’s federal income tax return for the calendar year to which such election applies. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing is only a summary of the effects of United States federal income taxation with respect to the
Restricted Stock and does not purport to be complete. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation has directed Participant to seek independent professional advice regarding the tax consequences of receipt of the Restricted Stock
under federal, state and local law. Participant acknowledges and agrees that if the Participant decides to file a Section 83(b) Election it is Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Corporation’s or its affiliate’s, to
file a timely election, even if Participant requests the Corporation, its affiliate or its representatives to make the filing on Participant’s behalf. 
 VI. TAX WITHHOLDING. 
 Participant understands that upon occurrence of the
taxable event with respect to the Restricted Stock, Participant will be responsible for payment of taxes due. No stock certificates will be delivered unless acceptable arrangements have been made by Participant with the Corporation (or its affiliate
by which Participant is employed) to pay withholding taxes that are due as a result of vesting of Restricted Stock. Unless the Participant has made alternative arrangements acceptable to the Corporation, the Participant shall pay applicable minimum
required withholding taxes due by having the Corporation withhold shares that would otherwise be released from restrictions, in which case such withheld shares shall be transferred back to the Corporation. 
 VII. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 A.
No Employment Agreement. This Agreement is not an employment contract. This Agreement is, however, a contract creating enforceable rights between the Corporation and the Participant regarding the Restricted Stock. 
 B. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the full and complete understanding between Participant and the Corporation and this
Agreement cannot be modified or changed by any prior or contemporaneous or future oral agreement of the parties. This Agreement can only be modified by the express written agreement of the parties. 
 C. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to its conflict of law principles. 
 D. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any entity with which or into which the Corporation may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business or any entity to which the Corporation may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
