 DATED             , 2009 

 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
             , 2009 by and among (i) Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (ii) Contego Systems, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (“Contego”), and (iii) Ronald Jones (“Jones” and together with Contego and any other Persons who shall be valid transferees of Registrable Securities (as hereinafter defined) and who
execute a counterpart hereto pursuant to the provisions of, and subject to the restrictions and rights set forth in, this Agreement, are referred to herein collectively as the “Holders” and individually as a “Holder”).

 WHEREAS, on or prior to the date hereof, Contego owned [    ] shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and Jones owned [    ] shares of Common Stock pursuant to that certain
                    , dated
                    ; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Holders desire to enter into this Agreement in order to provide the Holders with certain rights with respect to the registration of their shares of Common Stock; and 
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article 2 hereof. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties
hereto agree as follows: 
 1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 1.1.1 Demand Registration Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time beginning on the 180th day following an IPO, Contego may request registration for sale
under the Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities then held by it, and upon such request the Company will promptly take the actions specified in Section 1.1.2; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to
effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.1 unless such registration includes a number of Registrable Securities representing at least 20% of the Registrable Securities held by Contego at the time of such request. 
 1.1.2 Demand Procedures. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Company of a written registration request under
Section 1.1.1 (which request shall specify the number of shares proposed to be registered and sold and the manner in which such sale is proposed to be effected), the Company shall promptly give written notice to Jones and any other
Holders of the proposed registration, and Jones and any other Holder, if any, shall have the right to join in the proposed registration and sale, upon written request to the Company (which request shall specify the number of shares proposed to be
registered and sold) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Company. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.1.4, the proposed registration and sale may include securities offered by the Company for its
own account. The Company shall thereafter, as expeditiously as practicable, use its best efforts to (i) file with the SEC under the Act a registration statement on an appropriate form concerning all 
  

 2 

 
Registrable Securities specified in the demand request and all Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company with respect to which the Company has received the written request from
Jones or any other Holder, and (ii) cause the registration statement to be declared effective. At the request of Contego, the Company shall cause each offering pursuant to Section 1.1.1 to be managed, on a firm commitment basis, by
a recognized regional or national underwriter selected by Contego and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and containing customary terms
reasonably acceptable to the Company and Contego with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Contego and all Holders intending to participate in such proposed registration must agree to distribute their securities through
such underwriting and shall be required to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than three (3) registrations in total requested by Contego under Section 1.1.1 or
more than one (1) registration under Section 1.1.1 or Section 1.3 in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided, however, that any such request shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration
statement covering at least 80% of the Registrable Securities specified in the notices as aforesaid and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.1.5, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by Contego, has become
effective. 
 1.1.3 Delay by Company. The Company shall not be required to effect a demand registration under the Act
pursuant to Section 1.1.1 or Section 1.3 hereof if (i) the Company receives a request for any such registration less than ninety (90) days preceding the anticipated effective date of a proposed underwritten public
offering of securities of the Company approved by the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the Company’s receipt of the request and in such event the Company shall not be required to effect any such requested registration until one
hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of such proposed underwritten public offering, provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such underwritten public offering to be declared effective;
(ii) within ninety (90) days prior to any such request for registration, a registration of securities of the Company has been effected in which the Holders had the right to participate pursuant to this Section 1.1 or
Section 1.2 hereof; or (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith that effecting such a demand registration at such time would be seriously detrimental to the Company (and the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company provides a signed certificate to that effect to the Institutional Investors requesting such registration) because it would (a) necessitate the untimely disclosure of a proposed business combination or other currently
proposed transaction or (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; provided, however, that the Company may only delay a demand
registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.3 for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days (or until such earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer proposed) and may only defer any such filing pursuant to this
Section 1.1.3 once per calendar year. The Company shall promptly notify in writing the Holders requesting registration of any decision not to effect any such request for registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.3, which
notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reason for such decision and shall include an undertaking by the Company promptly to notify such Holders as soon as a demand registration may be effected. 
 1.1.4 Reduction. If a registration initiated by Contego pursuant to Section 1.1.1 is an underwritten registration and the
managing underwriters advise the Company and the Holders participating in the registration that in their opinion due to marketing factors the number 
  

 3 

 
of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering, then the amount of such shares that may be
included in such registration shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, the shares proposed to be sold by Contego exercising rights under Section 1.1.1, shall be included in such registration, (ii) second, the shares proposed
to be sold by Jones or any other Holders shall be included in such registration and, if all such shares cannot be included in such underwriting due to marketing factors, the amount of shares to be included in such registration by all such Holders
shall be allocated pro rata among such Holders in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities owned by them, and (iii) third, the shares proposed to be sold by the Company shall be included in such registration. 
 1.1.5 Withdrawal. Any Holder participating in any demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.1 may withdraw such
Holder’s shares from such registration at any time before a registration statement is declared effective, and the Company may withdraw such registration statement if no Registrable Securities are then proposed to be included. In the event the
Company is not obligated to effect any requested registration under Section 1.1.1 by virtue of Section 1.1.3, such request shall not be deemed to be a request for registration for purposes of Section 1.1.1 until
such time as the registration is effected. 
 1.2 Piggyback Registration Rights. 
 1.2.1 Request. If at any time or times after the IPO the Company proposes to file a registration statement covering any of its
securities under the Act (whether to be sold by it or by one or more selling stockholders), other than (i) an offering pursuant to a demand registration under Section 1.1.1 hereof (in which case, the Holders shall be entitled to
receive notice of, and participate in, such registration in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1 hereof) or (ii) an offering registered on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or successor forms relating to employee stock plans and
business combinations, the Company shall, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed filing date of the registration form, give written notice of the proposed registration to all Holders specifying in reasonable detail the
proposed transaction to be covered by the registration statement and, at the written request of any Holder delivered to the Company within twenty (20) days after the giving of such notice, but subject to the terms of Section 1.2.2
below, the Company shall include in such registration and offering, and in any underwriting of such offering, all Registrable Securities as any such Holder shall request the Company to include in such registration and offering. The Company shall
have no obligation to include shares owned by any Holder in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 unless and until such Holder, if such registration is an underwritten offering, agrees to enter into an underwriting
agreement, a custody agreement and power of attorney and any other customary documents required in an underwritten offering all in customary form and containing customary provisions. 
 1.2.2 Reduction. If a registration in which any Holder has the right or is otherwise permitted to participate pursuant to this
Section 1.2 is an underwritten registration and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion due to marketing factors the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number which can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the shares proposed to be sold by the Company, (ii) second, the shares proposed to be sold by
Contego exercising rights under Section 1.2.1 and 
  

 4 

 
(iii) third, the shares proposed to be sold by any other Holders exercising rights under Section 1.2.1 and, if all such shares cannot be included in such registration due to
marketing factors, the amount of shares to be included in such registration by all such Holders shall be allocated pro rata among such Holders in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities owned by them. 
 1.3 Registration on Form S-3. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.1.3 and the other terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, if at any time the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form) for secondary sales Contego may request (by written notice to the Company stating the number of Registrable Securities proposed to
be sold and the intended method of disposition) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) for a public sale of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it, or that the
Company take all steps necessary to include such Registrable Securities in a Form S-3 that the Company has previously filed under Rule 415 under the Act (to the extent reasonably practicable), provided that the reasonably anticipated
aggregate price to the public of such Registrable Securities shall be at least $2,000,000. At the written request of Contego, such registration shall be for a delayed or continuous offering under Rule 415 under the Act. Upon receiving such
request, the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form), or file an appropriate post-effective amendment or supplement to an existing registration statement, to register
under the Act for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such request, the number of shares of Registrable Securities specified in such request and shall otherwise carry out the actions specified in
Section 1.1.2 and 1.4. There shall be no limitation on the total number of registrations on Form S-3 which may be requested and obtained under this Section 1.3. 
 1.4 Registration Procedures. Whenever any Holder has requested that any shares be registered pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2

or 1.3 hereof, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
 (1) prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement, or prepare and file an appropriate post-effective amendment or supplement to an existing registration statement, with respect to such shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement, post-effective
amendment or supplement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall, to the extent practicable,
furnish such Holder with copies of all such documents proposed to be filed); 
 (2) prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than one-hundred eighty (180) days (or, in the case
of a registration pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, for a period of not less than three (3) years or until such time as there are no Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement; provided that the
Company shall only be required to keep such registration statement effective for such extended period of time to the extent it is eligible to use Form S-3), or until such earlier time as such Holder has completed the distribution described in
such registration statement, whichever occurs first; 
  

 5 

 (3) furnish to such Holder such number of copies of such registration statement, each
amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request; 
 (4) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
such Holder reasonably requests (and to maintain such registrations and qualifications effective for the applicable period of time set forth in Section 1.4(2) hereof), and to do any and all other acts and things which may be
necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such shares (provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not be
required but for this subsection (4), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction); 
 (5) notify such Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act within the period that the
Company is required to keep the registration statement effective, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in any such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare, file and furnish to such Holder a supplement or amendment to such
prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances then existing; 
 (6) cause all such shares to be listed on securities exchanges (or national quotation
systems), if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed (or if not then listed, on such exchanges (or national quotation systems) as are requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being included
in such registration); 
 (7) provide a transfer agent and registrar and a CUSIP number for all such shares not later than the
effective date of such registration statement; 
 (8) enter into such customary agreements and, subject to the terms hereof,
take all such other customary actions as such Holder reasonably requests (and subject to its reasonable approval) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such shares; 
 (9) subject to the execution of a customary confidentiality agreement, make available for inspection by such Holder, by any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holder or by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and
properties (other than confidential intellectual property) of the Company; and 
 (10) in connection with an underwritten
offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.3 hereof, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and containing reasonable customary provisions, including provisions for
indemnification of underwriters and contribution, if so requested by any underwriter.

 1.5 Holdback Agreements. 
 1.5.1 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, after any registration statement to which the rights hereunder apply
becomes effective (and prior to completion of any sales thereunder), the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that the failure of the Company to (i) suspend sales of stock under the registration statement or
(ii) amend or supplement the registration statement, would be seriously detrimental to the Company as described in Section 1.1.3 hereof, the Company shall so notify each Holder participating in such registration and each Holder shall
suspend any further sales under such registration statement until the Company advises such Holders that the registration statement has been amended or that conditions no longer exist which would require such suspension, provided that (x) the
Company may impose any such suspension for no more than ninety (90) days (inclusive of any days for which a registration request has been delayed pursuant to Section 1.1.3 during the past twelve months) and no more than once during any
twelve month period and (y) the Company shall use its best efforts to amend the registration statement or otherwise take action to permit sales thereunder as soon as practicable. 
 1.5.2 In the event that the Company effects a registration of any securities under the Act in an underwritten public offering, each Holder
agrees not to effect any sale, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, of any Equity Securities (except as part of such offering) during the 180-day period commencing with the effective date of the registration statement for the
IPO and the 90-day period commencing with the effective date of the registration statement for any subsequent public offering, provided that all holders of five percent (5%) or more of the Company’s outstanding Equity Securities and all
officers and directors of the Company, to the extent that they hold Equity Securities, enter into similar agreements providing for similar restrictions on sales; provided, however, that the agreement set forth in this
Section 1.5(b) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to all Holders if any holder of five percent (5%) or more of the Company’s outstanding Equity Securities, any officer or director of the Company
that has executed a similar agreement or any Holder hereunder shall have received a waiver relieving it of its obligations hereunder or under any such similar agreement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions to enforce the provisions of
this Section 1.5.2. 
 1.6 Registration Expenses. 
 1.6.1 Holder Expenses. If, pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 hereof, Registrable Securities are included in a registration
statement, then the Holder thereof shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of its shares, and any underwriting discounts or commissions or the equivalent thereof applicable to the sale of its shares (collectively, “Seller
Expenses”). If, as a result of the withdrawal of a request for registration by Contego pursuant to Section 1.1.5, a registration under Section 1.1.1 does not become effective, Contego shall have the option of reimbursing the Company
for any Registration Expenses incurred as a result of such request in which case such registration shall not be counted as a registration pursuant to Section 1.1.1. In the event that a withdrawal by Contego is based on material adverse

  

 7 

 
information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available to Contego at the time of their request for registration under Section 1.1.1, any Registration
Expenses relating to such registration shall be borne by the Company and such registration shall not be counted as a registration pursuant to Section 1.1.1. 
 1.6.2 Company Expenses. Except for Seller Expenses, the Company shall pay all expenses (“Registration Expenses”) incident to the registration of shares by the Company and any Holders
pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 and to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with state
securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and a single counsel for all Holders selling shares and all independent certified public accountants and
other persons retained by the Company in connection therewith. 
 1.6.3 Indemnity and Contribution. 
 (1) In the event that any shares owned by a Holder are proposed to be offered by means of a registration statement pursuant to
Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 hereof, to the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Holder, any underwriter participating in such offering, each officer, partner, manager and director of such Holder or
underwriter, each other Person, if any, who Controls or may Control such Holder or underwriter and each representative of any Holder serving on the Board of Directors of the Company (such Holder or underwriter, its officers, partners, managers and
directors and such other Persons being hereinafter referred to individually as an “Investor Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Investor Indemnified Persons”) from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of
action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by such
Investor Indemnified Person, directly or indirectly (hereinafter referred to in this Section 1.6.3 in the singular as a “claim” and in the plural as “claims”), based upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document to which such registration relates or any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which such statements are made, except insofar as such claim is based upon, arises out of or results from information
furnished to the Company in writing by such Investor Indemnified Person specifically for use in the registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document to which such registration relates. 
 (2) Each Holder shall, if securities held by him, her or it are included among the securities as to which such registration, qualification
or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each Person who Controls the Company (the Company, its directors, officers and each Person who Controls the Company being hereinafter referred to
individually as a “Company Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Company Indemnified Persons”), and any underwriter participating in such offering and any other Holders who have included Registrable Securities in such
registration and each officer, partner, manager and director of such underwriter or Holder and each other Person, if any, who

  

 8 

 
Controls or may Control such underwriter or Holder against all claims based on, arising out of, or resulting from any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained
in a registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document to which such registration relates or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which such statements are made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided,
however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of securities sold in such offering as contemplated herein, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by
such Holder. 
 (3) The indemnification provisions set forth herein shall be in addition to any liability that the Company or
any Holder may otherwise have to the Investor Indemnified Persons, the Company Indemnified Persons or the other Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Company Indemnified Persons, the Investor Indemnified Persons and the other Persons
entitled to indemnification hereunder are hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Persons.” Promptly after receiving notice of any claim in respect of which an Indemnified Person may seek indemnification under this Section 1.6.3, such
Indemnified Person shall submit written notice thereof to either the Company or the Holders, as the case may be (sometimes being hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnifying Person”). The omission of the Indemnified Person so to notify the
Indemnifying Person of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability it may have hereunder except to the extent that (a) such liability was caused or increased by such omission, or (b) the ability of the
Indemnifying Person to reduce such liability was materially adversely affected by such omission. In addition, the omission of the Indemnified Person so to notify the Indemnifying Person of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person
from any liability it may have otherwise than hereunder. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or representatives of its own choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement (without admitting liability of the
Indemnified Person) of any such claim asserted. such defense, compromise or settlement to be undertaken at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to engage separate counsel, at its own expense, and
counsel for the Indemnifying Person shall keep the separate counsel for the Indemnified Person informed of the status of, and shall otherwise consult with such separate counsel with respect to, any such action or proceeding; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Person, if representation of such Indemnified Person by the counsel retained by the
Indemnifying Person would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the event the Indemnifying Person shall elect not to
undertake such defense by its own representatives, the Indemnifying Person shall give prompt written notice of such election to the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnified Person shall undertake the defense, compromise or settlement (without
admitting liability of the Indemnifying Person) thereof on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Person by counsel or other representatives designated by the Indemnified Person, with the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to be
paid by the Indemnifying Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no

  

 9 

 
Indemnifying Person shall be obligated hereunder with respect to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld). 
 (4) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.6.3 is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person, then the Indemnifying Person, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a
result of any claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person on the one hand and the Indemnifying Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions (or alleged statements or
omissions) that resulted in such claims as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Person or by the Indemnified Person and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge and
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission (or alleged statement or omission), In no event will the liability of any Holder for contribution exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in any sale of
securities to which such liability relates except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. 
 (5)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any underwritten public offering contemplated by this Agreement are in
conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall be controlling. 
 1.7 Grant and
Transfer of Registration Rights. Except for registration rights granted by the Company after the date hereof which are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder, the Company shall not grant any registration rights to any other Person
without the prior written consent of Contego. Holders shall have the right to transfer or assign the rights contained in this Agreement (i) to any limited partner or Affiliate of a Holder in connection with the transfer of any Registrable
Securities permitted by the terms of any shareholder agreement then in effect or (ii) to any third party transferee acquiring Registrable Securities held by such Holder provided that (x) such transfer is permitted by the terms of any
shareholder agreement then in effect and (y) after giving effect to such transfer, such transferee shall own at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided, in each case, that (a) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or
assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act. 
 1.8 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. 
  

 10 

 1.9 Rule 144 Requirements. After the date of the IPO, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to make publicly available, and available to the Holders, such information as is necessary to enable the Holders to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. The Company shall furnish to any
Holder, upon request, a written statement executed by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply with the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

The contract shall further provide that all labor employed in construction or installing the Leasehold Improvements shall be such as, in the sole judgment of Landlord, not to be

and the rent meanwhile shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable; if by reason of such occurrence the Leased Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable, Landlord shall promptly at is own expense cause such damage to be repaired substantially to the condition at the Date of Possession, (but not for Tenant Improvements that are not a part of Landlord's Work unless Tenant pays Landlord for the cost thereof) and the rent meanwhile shall be abated in whole,
unless within sixty (60) days after said occurrence Landlord shall give Tenant written notice that it has elected not to reconstruct the destroyed Leased Premises in which event, this Agreement and the tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of said occurrence, the rental to be adjusted as of such date. All of the above notwithstanding, if Landlord, in its absolute discretion, shall desire, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of any such accident or casualty (even though the Leased Premises
may not have been affected by the same) to demolish, rebuild or reconstruct the Building, then, upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant, this Agreement shall terminate on a date to be specified in such notice, and all rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted as of the time of the occurrence of any such accident or casualty.

 

18.  ALTERATIONS BY TENANT.

 

Unless the Landlord shall elect that all or part of any Tenant Improvements or alterations consented to by the Landlord in writing shall remain after expiration of the Lease Term, the Leased Premises shall be restored to their original condition (except as to any part of said alterations which the Landlord shall elect to remain) by the
Tenant before the expiration of its tenancy, at its own expense. The original condition shall mean the condition of the Leased Premises as of the commencement of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Upon said election by Landlord, any such alterations, improvements, betterments and mechanical equipment, including but not limited to heating and air conditioning systems, shall become the property of the Landlord as soon as they are affixed to the Leased Premises, and all rights, title and interest therein
of the Tenant shall immediately cease, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The Landlord shall have the sole right to collect any insurance for any damage of any kind to any of the improvements placed upon the Leased Premises by the Tenant, but Landlord shall not be obligated to cause the repair of the Tenant Improvements unless the insurance proceeds therefore are sufficient or Tenant pays the Landlord for any deficiency. If the making of any such alterations, or the obtaining of permits or franchise therefor
shall directly or indirectly result in a franchise, minor privilege or other tax or assessment, such tax or assessment shall be paid, immediately upon its levy, by the Tenant.

19.   SIGNS.

 

Without the prior written consent of the Landlord, the Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not place or permit any signs, lights, awnings or poles in or about the Leased Premises, nor paint or make any change in, to or on the outside of the Leased Premises, nor do anything on or to the outside of the Leased Premises to change the uniform
architecture, paint or appearance of the Building. In the event such consent is given, the Tenant agrees to pay any minor privileges or other tax arising out of such installation immediately when due. All Tenant's signage shall be in compliance with Landlord's sign criteria for the Property shall be designed and constructed at Tenant's expense, and shall be installed by Landlord at Tenant's expense.

 

20.   INGRESS AND EGRESS.

 

The Tenant further covenants and agrees not to pile anything on the sidewalk or parking lot in the front, rear or sides of the Building or block said sidewalk, and not to do anything that directly or indirectly will take away any of the rights of ingress or egress from any other tenant of the Landlord or do anything which will, in any way,
change the uniform and general design of any property of the Landlord of which the Leased Premises hereby leased shall constitute a part or unit.

 

21.   LANDLORD'S SIGNS.

 

It is further understood and agreed between the parties hereto that the Landlord shall have the right to place a "For Rent" sign on any portion of the Leased Premises for ninety (90) days prior to termination of this Agreement and to place a "For Sale" sign thereon at any time.

 

22.   WATER DAMAGE.

 

The Tenant covenants and agrees that the Landlord shall not be held responsible for and the Landlord is hereby released and relieved from, and forever saved harmless from, any liability by reason of or resulting from damage or injury to person or property of the Tenant or of anyone else, directly or indirectly, caused by (a) dampness or
water in any part of the Leased Premises or (b) any leak or break in any part of the Leased Premises, except in the event of gross negligence by the Landlord.

 

23.  EMINENT DOMAIN.

 

If during the Lease Term all or a substantial part of the Leased Premises be taken by eminent domain, this Agreement shall terminate as of, and the Rent shall be apportioned to and abate from and after, the date of taking, and Tenant shall have no right to participate in any award or damages for such taking and hereby assigns all of its
right, title and interest therein to Landlord. For purposes of this Paragraph, "a substantial part of the Leased Premises" shall mean such part thereof that the remainder of the Leased Premises is rendered inadequate and cannot practicably be repaired and improved so as to be made adequate to permit Tenant to carry on its business to substantially the same efficiency as before the taking. In no event shall a taking of less than ten percent (10%) be deemed a taking of a "substantial part of the Leased Premises".

 

If during the Lease Term less than a substantial part of the Leased Premises (as hereinabove defined) be taken by eminent domain, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms; and Tenant shall have no right to participate in any award or damages for such taking and hereby assigns all of its right, title and
interest therein to Landlord, and Landlord shall at its expense, up to but not in excess of the amount of the award or damages received, promptly make such repairs and improvements as shall be necessary to make the remainder of the Leased Premises adequate to permit Tenant to carry on its business to substantially the same extent and with substantially the same efficiency as before the taking.

 

For the purpose of this Section, a "taking" under the power of eminent domain shall include a negotiated sale or lease and transfer of possession to a condemning authority under bona fide threat of condemnation, and Landlord alone shall have the right to negotiate with the condemning authority and conduct and settle all litigation connected
with the condemnation. As hereinabove used, the words "award or damages" shall, in the event of such sale or settlement, include the purchase or settlement price. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from claiming and receiving from the condemning authority, if legally payable, compensation for the taking of Tenant's own tangible property and damages for Tenant's loss of business, business interruption, or removal and relocation.

24.   INSPECTION AND ENTRY BY LANDLORD.

 

Tenant will permit, and hereby authorizes Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors to enter the Leased Premises and all parts thereof during business hours and upon reasonable notice to Tenant (or at any time in case of any emergency) to inspect the Leased Premises, or to install, inspect, maintain, use, repair, replace, remove and
inspect pipes, ducts, conduits and wires passing into, through, above or beneath the Leased Premises for the service to other parts of the Building and to enforce or carry out any provision of this Lease. During the last six (6) months of the Term, Landlord shall be entitled to show the Leased Premises to prospective tenants, and shall be entitled during the entire Term to show the Leased Premises to lenders or prospective purchasers of the Property.

 

25.   NO ASSIGNMENTS OR SUBLETTING.

 

Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, without the written consent of Landlord first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole, subjective discretion and may be conditioned upon an increase in the Base Rent. Consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting
shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. This prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law or by transfer of ownership interests in Tenant.

 

26.   NOTICE OF DEFAULT TO LANDLORD AND MORTGAGEE AND RIGHT TO CURE. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement required to be performed by Landlord, Tenant shall give, by certified mail, a notice of default to the Landlord, which shall specifically set forth the nature of the
nonperformance by the Landlord and shall give the Landlord thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or nonperformance. Said notice of default shall be a condition precedent to the institution by Tenant of any judicial proceedings for nonperformance or default against the Landlord. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee and/or Trust Deed Holders, by certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing, of the address
of such mortgagees and/or Trust Deed Holders. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall fail to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease Agreement, then the mortgagees and/or Trust Deed Holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or Trust Deed Holders has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies
necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

 

27.   DEFAULT BY TENANT.

 

27.01. Events of Default. Any of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

 

(a)           If the Rent shall be in arrears beyond the applicable grace period for same; or

 

(b)         If the Tenant should assign the Lease or sublet the Leased Premises without Landlord's prior written consent; or

 

(c)           If Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required hereby; or

 

(d)           If Tenant shall have failed to perform any other term, condition or covenant of this Agreement on its part to be performed for a period of ten (10) days after notice of such failure from Landlord; or

 

  

10

  

 

(e)            If the Leased Premises are vacant, unoccupied or deserted for a period of fifteen (15) days at any time during the Term by the voluntary acts of Tenant; or

 

(f)            If Tenant is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction or if any such court enters any order, judgment or decree finally approving any petition against Tenant seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief or a
receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator is appointed for all or substantially all of Tenant's assets and such appointment be not vacated within twenty (20) days after the appointment, or if Tenant seeks or consents to any of the relief hereinabove enumerated in this subparagraph (d) or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or makes an assignment of all or substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors or admits in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they
come due or files Articles of Dissolution with the appropriate authority of the place of its formation; or

 

(g) If Tenant's leasehold interest under this Agreement is sold under execution, attachment or decree of court to satisfy any debt of Tenant or any lien (including mechanic's lien) against Tenant's leasehold interest.

 

27.02. Landlord's Remedies. In the event of default, Landlord in addition to any and all legal and equitable remedies it may have, shall have the following remedies:

 

(a)            To distrain for any Rent in default; and

 

(b)            At any time after default, without notice, to declare this Agreement terminated and enter the Leased Premises with or without legal process; and in such event Landlord shall have the benefit of all provisions of law now or hereafter in force respecting the speedy
recovery of possession from Tenant holding over to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been entered into and Tenant waives any and all provisions for notice under such laws.

 

(c)           In the event of such termination, Tenant shall immediately be liable to Landlord for the sum of the following: (i) all Rent then in arrears, without apportionment to the termination date; (ii) all other liabilities of Tenant then accrued under this Agreement; (iii) all
of Landlord's costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) in connection with such default and recovery of possession; and (iv.) all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting the Leased Premises (without any obligation of Landlord's part to cause such reletting) including brokerage commissions, rent concessions, tenant improvement allowances and other costs and expenses whether similar or dissimilar.

 

(d)          In addition to the remedies in section 27.02(c), Landlord shall be entitled to elect as damages (i) the amount by which the Rent, apportioned from the date of termination to the end of the stated Term exceeds the then fair rental value of the Leased Premises for such period,
(ii) all Rental due hereunder as and when the same would have become due but for the termination less the amount of any rent for the Leased Premises actually paid to Landlord, or (iii) liquidated damages in the amount of one years' Rent due and payable hereunder, the parties hereto agreeing that the same would be a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages incurred by Landlord if Tenant defaults hereunder. In pursuing damages, Landlord may bring one or more actions to recover such damages as have accrued to
date, and no one such action shall be deemed to be a bar to or waiver of any subsequent action.

 

If this Lease is terminated, Landlord may re-lease the Leased Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term(s) (which may be greater or less than the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and
alterations of the Leased Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. The failure or refusal of Landlord to re-lease the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages.

  

11

  

 

27.03. Remedies Cumulative. No mention in this Agreement of any specific right or remedy shall preclude Landlord from exercising any other right or from having any other remedy, or from maintaining any action to which it may otherwise be entitled either at law or equity; and
the failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more instances upon a strict performance of any covenant of this Lease or to exercise any option or right herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver of relinquishment for the future of such covenant, right or option, but the same shall remain in full force and effect unless the contrary is expressed in writing by Landlord.

 

28.   SUBORDINATION.

 

This Lease shall be subject to and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgages and/or deeds of trust now or hereafter made on the Leased Premises and to all advances made or hereafter to be made thereunder. This subordination provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. The Tenant
agrees to execute any documents subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, which are required by Landlord's lender to evidence the subordination.

 

29.   PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD.

 

If Tenant shall fail to perform any covenant or duty required of it by this Agreement or by law, Landlord shall have the right (but not the duty) to enter the Leased Premises, if necessary, to perform the same with notice (or without notice in the event of an emergency), and the reasonable cost thereof shall be deemed to be additional rent.

 

30.   ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD.

 

If Landlord should ever assign this Agreement or the Rent hereunder to a creditor as security for a debt or otherwise, Tenant shall, after notice of such assignment and upon demand by Landlord or the assignee, pay all sums thereafter becoming due Landlord hereunder to the assignee and give all notices required to be given Landlord hereunder
both to Landlord and the assignee and have all policies of insurance required hereunder endorsed so as to protect the assignee's interest as it may appear and deliver such policies, or certificates thereof, to the assignee.

 

31.  FORECLOSURE.

 

In the event the Leased Premises are sold at any foreclosure sale or sales, by virtue of any judicial proceedings or otherwise, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant agrees, upon request, to attorn to and acknowledge the foreclosure purchaser or purchasers at such sale as Landlord hereunder.

 

32.   NO WAIVER.

 

The failure of the Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Landlord may have and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.

 

33.   RECORDATION COST.

 

In the event this Agreement or any substitution for this Agreement is recorded, all costs of recordation, including state and county documentary stamp taxes, recordation taxes and transfer taxes imposed thereon shall be borne by the party recording this Agreement.

 

34.   NOTICES.

 

All notices, demands and requests required under this Agreement shall be in writing. All such notices, demands and requests shall be deemed to have been properly given if hand delivered (including hand delivery to Tenant's agent or employee at the Leased Premises), delivered by overnight courier, or if sent by United States certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the addresses of Landlord and Tenant first above written unless either of the parties has so notified the other of a change in address, in which case the most recent address shall be used. Delivery shall be deemed to occur on the date of delivery by hand, one day after sent by overnight courier, and upon receipt of certified mail, provided that if Tenant does not accept delivery of such certified mail, or the U.S. postal service is otherwise unable to complete
the delivery, delivery shall be deemed to have occurred two days after Landlord's deposit of the notice with the U.S. post office.

  

12

  

35.   ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

 

Tenant agrees at any time hereafter upon not less than five (5) days' prior notice by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force as modified and stating the
modifications). Such certificate shall state the dates to which the rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate Landlord is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement; if applicable, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge, it being intended that any such statement delivered hereunder may be relied upon by Landlord and any third parties to whom
it is addressed.

 

36.   QUIET ENJOYMENT.

 

If and so long as Tenant pays the Rent and performs and observes all the covenants and provisions hereof, Tenant shall quietly enjoy the Leased Premises, subject, however, to the terms and provisions hereof, and to any mortgages, deeds of trust, or other documents of record concerning the Property.

 

37.   LEASE EXPIRATION; TERMINATION.

 

This Agreement and the tenancy hereby created shall cease and terminate at the end of the Lease Term, or any extension or renewal thereof, without the necessity of any notice from either Landlord or Tenant to terminate the same, and Tenant hereby waives notice to vacate the Leased Premises and agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to the
benefit of all provisions of law respecting the summary recovery of possession of premises from a tenant holding over to the same extent as if statutory notice had been given.

 

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Leased Premises in a neat and clean condition, free of debris and in the condition required by section 15 hereof . Tenant, at its expense, shall immediately repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by the removal of its trade fixtures, signs and other personal
property. If Tenant leaves any personal property at the Premises, the Landlord may consider it abandoned and may dispose of it without being liable to Tenant.

 

38.   HOLDING OVER.

 

Any holding over after the expiration of the Lease Term by Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenancy from month-to-month. Holdover rent shall be payable in the amount of two (2) times the monthly rent paid during the last month of the Lease Term.

 

39.   NO OPTION.

 

The submission of this Agreement for examination does not constitute a reservation of any option for the Leased Premises, and this Agreement becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

 

40.   MISCELLANEOUS:

 

40.1. Waiver of Certain Rights. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any and all rights

 

which either may have to request a jury trial in any action, proceeding or compulsory counterclaim arising out of this Lease or Tenant's occupancy of or right to occupy the Leased Premises. Tenant further agrees that in the event Landlord commences any summary proceeding for
non-payment of rent or possession of the Premises, Tenant will not interpose and hereby waives all right to interpose any non-compulsory counterclaim of whatever nature in any such proceeding. Tenant further waives any right to remove a summary proceeding to any other court or to consolidate a summary proceeding with any other action, whether brought prior or subsequent to the summary proceeding.

  

13

  

 

40.2  Severability. If any portion of any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to

 

any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid
and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

40.3  Waiver of Right of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives for itself and all persons

 

claiming by, through or under it, any right of redemption or right to restore the operation of this Lease under any present or future law in the event Tenant is dispossessed for any proper cause, or in the event Landlord shall obtain possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees that the Leased
Premises are leased exclusively for business, commercial and mercantile purposes and therefore shall not be redeemable under any provision of law.

 

40.4  Successors and Assigns. This Lease and the covenants and conditions herein contained shall

 

inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Landlord, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon Tenant, its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and its permitted assigns and subtenants. Upon any sale or other transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Premises and in this Lease, and the assumption
by Landlord's transferee of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall be relieved of any obligations under this Lease accruing thereafter.

 

40.5 Indemnities. All indemnities of Tenant in this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall survive any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Property.

 

40.6 Force Majeure. The outside Date of Possession stated in section 2.02 is subject to extension for events outside of the control of the Landlord including but not limited to the failure or refusal of the tenant presently occupying the Leased Premises to vacate as and when
required by such tenant's lease, fire, casualty, acts of God, riots, insurrection or war or other occurrence outside of Landlord's control.

 

41.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

 

This writing is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof, all negotiations, considerations and representations between the parties having been incorporated herein. No course of prior dealings between the parties or their affiliates shall be relevant or
admissible to supplement, explain or vary any of the terms of this Agreement. Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under this or any prior agreement between the parties or their affiliates shall not be relevant or admissible to determine the meaning of any of the terms of this Agreement. No representations, understandings or agreements have been made or relied upon in the making ofthis Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein. This Agreement can only be modified
in writing signed by all of the parties hereto or their duly authorized agents.

 

42.   CORPORATE APPROVAL.

 

If Tenant is a corporation or other legally formed entity, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within ten (10) days of its execution of this Agreement, a copy of an executed resolution by its Board of Directors, Board of Managers or appropriate authorizing body, authorizing the execution of this Agreement and authorizing the individual executing
