 Exhibit 10.5 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this      day of          , 20     , by and between Global
Defense Technology & Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and              (“Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS: 
 A. The Company recognizes the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates, the significant increases in the cost of such
insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. 
 B. The Company further recognizes the substantial
increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability
insurance has been severely limited. 
 C. The current protection available to directors, officers, employees, controlling
persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates of the Company may not be adequate under the present circumstances, and directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates of the Company (or persons
who may be alleged or deemed to be the same), including the Indemnitee, may not be willing to continue to serve or be associated with the Company in such capacities without additional protection. 
 D. The Company (a) desires to attract and retain the involvement of highly qualified persons, such as Indemnitee, to serve and be
associated with the Company, and (b) accordingly, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 E. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve, and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition
that he be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 F. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company
requires the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 G. Indemnitee is serving
as a director and/or officer of the Company. 
 H. In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that
Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced expenses by the Company as set forth herein. 

 AGREEMENTS: 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, Indemnitee’s agreement to serve the Company, directly or, at its request,
another enterprise, and the covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Certain Definitions

Company, (ii) any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company or of a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, (iv) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company or of a corporation owned directly or indirectly
by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, or (v) any Person who as of the date of this Agreement is a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities of the Company until such time as the
Board of Directors of the Company reasonably believes that such Person has acquired beneficial ownership of any additional such securities. 
 (b) A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
 (i) an Acquiring Person is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of
the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities of the Company; or 
 (ii) during any period
of two years, Incumbent Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; or 
 (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or partnership (or, if no such approval is required, the consummation of such a merger or
consolidation of the Company), other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

 (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for

such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred, of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the
Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement. 
 (e) “Incumbent
Directors” shall mean individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any other individual who becomes a director of the Company after that date and whose election or appointment by the Board of
Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who either are directors as of the date hereof or whose election, appointment, or nomination for
election was previously so approved. 
 (f) “Indemnifiable Event” shall mean an event or occurrence related to
the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other enterprise, or by reason of any thing done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company agrees that Indemnitee’s service on behalf
of or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed to be at the request of the Company. 
 (g)
“Person” shall mean any person or entity of any nature whatsoever, specifically including an individual, a firm, a company, a corporation, a partnership, a trust or other entity. A Person, together with that Person’s Affiliates

deemed a single “Person.” 
 (h) “Reviewing Party” shall mean (i) any appropriate person or body
consisting of a member or members of the Company’s Board of Directors or (ii) any other person or body appointed by the Board (including Special Counsel referred to in Section 3) who is not a party to the particular Claim for which

 (k) “Voting Securities” shall mean any securities that vote generally in the election of directors or in the selection of any other similar governing body.” 
 2. Basic Indemnification and Expense Reimbursement Arrangement 
 (a) In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or
witness or other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 60 days
after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and all Expenses, (including all interest, assessments, and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, or amounts paid
in settlement) of or with respect to that Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written unqualified
opinion, in any case in which Special Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require any determination under
this Section 2(a) to be made by the Reviewing Party prior to the disposition or conclusion of the Claim against the Indemnitee; provided, however, that Expense Advances, as defined below, shall continue to be made by the Company pursuant to and
to the extent required by the provisions of Section 2(b). 
 (b) If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall pay any
and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (or, if applicable, reimburse Indemnitee for any and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and previously paid by Indemnitee) within ten business days after such request (an “Expense Advance”). The
Company shall be obligated to make or pay an Expense Advance in advance of the final disposition or conclusion of any Claim. In connection with any request for an Expense Advance, if requested by the Company, Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s counsel
shall submit an affidavit stating that the Expenses incurred were reasonable. Any dispute as to the reasonableness of any Expense shall not delay an Expense Advance by the Company, and the Company agrees that any such dispute shall be resolved only
upon the disposition or conclusion of the underlying Claim against the Indemnitee. If, when, and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified with respect to a Claim under applicable law,
the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Company without interest (which agreement shall be an unsecured obligation of Indemnitee) within 30 days of such determination for all related
Expense Advances theretofore made or paid by the Company; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law, any determination made by the Reviewing Board that Indemnitee would not be permitted to

  

 4 

 
be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance, and the Company shall be obligated to continue to
make Expense Advances, until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). If there has not been a Change of Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by
the Board of Directors of the Company. If there has been a Change of Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in
Control), the Reviewing Party shall be advised by or shall be Special Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof, if and as Indemnitee so requests. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that
Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the State of Delaware or the Commonwealth of Virginia having subject
matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to
appear in any such proceeding. In the absence of any such litigation, any determination by the Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee. 
 3. Change of Control The Company agrees that, if there is a Change of Control (other than a Change in Control which has been
approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) and if Indemnitee requests in writing that Special Counsel advise the Reviewing Party or be the Reviewing Party, then the
Company shall not deny any indemnification payments (and Expense Advances shall continue to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 2(b)) that Indemnitee requests or demands under this Agreement or any other agreement or law now or hereafter
in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events; provided, however, that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written unqualified opinion, in any case in which Special Counsel is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted
to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company further agrees not to request or seek reimbursement from Indemnitee of any related Expense Advances unless, with respect to a denied indemnification payment, Special Counsel has rendered its
written unqualified opinion to the Company and Indemnitee that the Company would not be permitted under applicable law to pay Indemnitee such indemnification payment. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of Special Counsel referred to in
this Section 3 and to indemnify fully Special Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Special Counsel’s engagement pursuant
hereto. 
 4. Notification and Defense of Claims 
 (a) Notice Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Claim, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company (addressed to the Chief Executive Officer) of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will only relieve the Company of the obligations
that it has to Indemnitee under this Agreement (i) if, and to the extent that, the Company has been materially prejudiced by Indemnitee’s failure to so notify the Company, and (ii) as provided in Section 4(c). Indemnitee shall
give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. 
  

 5 

 (b) Defense With respect to any Claim as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of
the commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate in the Claim at its own expense and except as otherwise provided below, to the extent the Company so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Claim, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with the defense of such Claim other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ legal counsel in such Claim, but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from
the Company of its assumption of the defense shall be at Indemnitee’s expense unless: (i) the employment of legal counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company; (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a
conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the defense of the Claim; (iii) after a Change of Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Special Counsel; or (iv) the Company shall not in fact
have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Claim, in each of which cases all Expenses of the Claim shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any Claim
brought by or on behalf of the Company, or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in (ii) above or under the circumstances provided for in (iii) and (iv) above. 
 (c) Settlement of Claims The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the Company’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if a Change of Control has occurred, the Company shall be liable for indemnification of
Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Special Counsel has approved the settlement. The Company shall not settle any Claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent.

 5. Indemnification for Additional Expenses The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if
requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten business days of that request) advance those costs and expenses to Indemnitee, that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any claims asserted against or action brought by Indemnitee for
(i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for
Indemnifiable Events or (ii) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to that indemnification, advance
expense payment, or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 
 6. Partial Indemnity If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses relating to a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the

  

 6 

 
merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith. 
 7. Exceptions 
 (a) Excluded Action or Omissions To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless Indemnitee for Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or
transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights under this Agreement or applicable law; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 7(a)
regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights to Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 2(b) to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a
court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has engaged in acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is
prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law. 
 (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee
To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless or make Expense Advances to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or cross claim, except (i) with respect to actions or
proceedings brought to establish or enforce an indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless right under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in
effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the DGCL, regardless of
whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, exoneration, hold harmless right, Expense Advances or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 
 (c) Lack of Good Faith To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect
to any action instituted (i) by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having jurisdiction over such action determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in
good faith or was frivolous, or (ii) by or in the name of the Company to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having jurisdiction over such action determines that each of the material defenses asserted by Indemnitee in such action
was made in bad faith or was frivolous. 
 (d) Claims Under Section 16(b) To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless
Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 7(d) regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification or exoneration or hold harmless, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 2(b) to receive
Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that
Indemnitee has violated said statute. 
  

 7 

 8. Burden of Proof In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or
otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under any provision of this Agreement, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. 
 9. No Presumption For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, by judgment, order,
settlement (whether with or without court approval), or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. 
 10. Action of Others The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent, or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. 
 11. Non-exclusivity The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the
Company’s Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation or the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise. To the extent that a change in the Delaware General Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification
by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded
by that change. 
 12. Liability Insurance Except as otherwise agreed to by the Company and Indemnitee in a written
agreement, to the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by that policy or those policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to
the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer. In addition, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of any Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
 13. Period of Limitations No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or
any affiliate of the Company against Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of three years from the date of accrual of that cause of action, and any claim or cause of
action of the Company or its affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within that three-year period; provided, however, that, if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise
applicable to any such cause of action, the shorter period shall govern. 
  

 8 

 14. Amendments No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall that waiver
constitute a continuing waiver. 
 15. Subrogation In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall,
subject to the conflicting rights of an insurer pursuant to any policy contemplated by Section 12 hereof, be subrogated to the extent of that payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and
shall do everything that may be necessary to secure those rights, including the execution of the documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce those rights. 
 16. No Duplication of Payments The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim
made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under an insurance policy, provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable
hereunder. 
 17. Binding Effect This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs, and
personal and legal representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer or director of the Company or another enterprise at the Company’s request. 
 18. Severability If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws
effective during the term hereof, that provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if that illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of that illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added
automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable. 
 19. Integration and Entire Agreement This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and
merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. 
 20. No Construction as Employment Agreement Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliated entities. 
 21. Additional Acts If for the validation of any of the provisions in this Agreement any act,
resolution, approval or other procedure is required, the Company undertakes to cause such act, resolution, approval or other procedure to be affected or adopted in a manner that will enable the Company to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement. 
  

 9 

 22. Consent to Jurisdiction The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be
commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for Kent County, which shall be the exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim. 
 23. Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
applicable to contracts made and to be performed in that state without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws. 
 24. Headings The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 25. Notices All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly
given (i) if delivered by hand and signed for by the party addressed, on the date of such delivery, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked.
Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice. 
 26. Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but in making proof hereof it shall not be necessary to produce or account
for more than one such counterpart.

 Exhibit 10.6 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, (the
“Agreement”) is made by and between SFA, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Mr. John Hillen (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires to serve the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. 
 In consideration of the foregoing and the covenants below, the Company and Executive agree as follows: 

1. Employment 
 (a) During the Term (as defined in Section 2 hereof), the Company shall employ Executive and Executive shall render services to the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the
Company. Executive shall perform during his employment with the Company such duties and exercise such powers in relation to the business of the Company commensurate with his position as President and CEO of the Company. 
 (b) As such, Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 
 (c) Executive shall have the authority to perform such actions consistent with his position and such other duties as may from time to time
be assigned to Executive by the Board. In the performance of his duties, Executive shall report to the Board, and shall comply with such limits on Executive’s authority as the Board may from time to time impose. Executive shall devote his full
and exclusive business time and best efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement and shall perform them faithfully and diligently; provided that Executive may (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees
and (ii) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and retain any remuneration received therefore as long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder. 
 2. Term of Employment. The Company shall employ Executive commencing on August 18, 2008 (the “Effective
Date”) until he resigns or his employment is terminated in accordance with Section 4 below (the “Term”). Subject to the provisions of this Section 2 and earlier termination pursuant to Section 4 below, the
term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall end on the first anniversary thereof, provided that, subject to earlier termination pursuant to the other terms hereof, commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective
Date, and on each anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional year unless, not later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the then-existing term, the
Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the term of this Agreement. All periods during which the Executive is employed hereunder shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Term.” 

 3. Compensation. 
 (a) Salary. As full compensation for Executive’s services under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to an annual
gross salary at the rate of $380,000.00 US Dollars (“Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. If Executive’s employment begins or terminates part way
through a payment period, his Base Salary will be prorated based on the actual number of days included in the period. All forms of compensation referred to in this Agreement are subject to applicable withholding and payroll taxes. 
 (b) Bonus. In addition to his Base Salary, Executive will also be considered for an annual bonus of up to a maximum of 80% of
the Base Salary. Bonuses are intended to reward exceptional effort which has increased the profitability of the Company during the Company’s previous financial year (“Financial Year”). To account for the Executive’s
employment for less than the full 2008 Financial Year, the Company will pay the Executive 60% of the bonus which would otherwise have been paid to Executive had he been employed for the full 2008 Financial Year. Receipt by Executive of a bonus in
relation to any Financial Year is not to be regarded as establishing an entitlement on the part of Executive to receive a bonus in relation to subsequent Financial Years or as to the amount of any such bonus. Bonuses are subject to Executive still
being employed by the Company at the date payment is due and to his not being under notice of termination on that date either given by Executive or the Company. 
 (c) Options. 
 (i) Initial Grant. Upon
commencement of the Term, the Executive will be granted (the “Initial Grant”) stock options (which shall be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) to the extent permitted by applicable tax rules) to purchase 7,411 shares of common stock of the Company. The exercise price shall be equal to $203.83 per share, the fair market value per share of the Company’s common
stock as of the date of the Initial Grant. The Initial Grant shall be made pursuant to the terms of the form of option agreement attached as an Exhibit hereto. 
 (ii) Additional Grants. The Executive will be eligible for stock option grants (each, if any, a “Supplemental
Grant”) after the Initial Grant (any Supplemental Grant together with the Initial Grant, “Options”) in the sole discretion of the Board taking into account the Executive’s performance, the performance of the Company
and other factors the Board determines to be relevant. The exercise price of any Supplemental Grant shall be the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

 (iii) Vesting. 
 (a) The Executive’s Initial Grant shall vest as follows: (i) 25% will vest on the first anniversary of the date of
the Effective Date; (ii) 25% will vest on the second anniversary of the date of the Effective Date; (iii) 25% will vest on the third anniversary of the date of the Effective Date; and (iv) 25% will vest on the fourth anniversary of
the date of the Effective Date. 
 (b) Any Supplemental Grant shall vest as provided by the Board at the time of
grant. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Options are assumed or continued
by the Company or its successor entity, including the parent of the Company or its successor, in the sole discretion of the parties to the Change in Control and thereafter remain in effect following such Change in Control, then Options shall be
deemed vested and exercisable in full upon the date on which the Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries or successor entity terminates if (i) such termination occurs within six (6) months of such Change in
Control and (ii) such termination is either by the Company (or successor entity) without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason. If, following a Change in Control, to the extent that Options are not assumed or continued by the Company or its
successor entity, including the parent of the Company or its successor, vesting of such outstanding Options will accelerate to 100%. All Options will cease to vest upon death, disability or termination of employment. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means: (i) an individual, person, general
partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, trust, business trust, cooperative, association, foreign trust, foreign business organization or other entity, together with any
affiliate of the foregoing (other than (x) the Company, (y) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or (2) Global Strategies Group Holdings S.A, or any affiliate thereof) (a
“Person”) acquires (other than solely by reason of a repurchase of voting securities by the Company) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then total outstanding voting securities; (ii) there is
consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than (A) a merger or consolidation which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least 25% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such
surviving entity or any direct or indirect parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no
Person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (meaning that such Person is

  

 -3- 

 
entitled to the benefits of ownership although such Person does have possession of or title to such securities) (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities
acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or
dissolution; provided, however, that in no event shall an initial public offering of the capital stock of the Company constitute a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement. 
 4. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Termination. Notwithstanding Section 2 above, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment prior to expiration of the Term for any of the following reasons:
(i) as a result of his death or Disability as provided in Section 4(b) below, (ii) for Cause as provided in Section 4(c) below or (iii) without Cause as provided in Section 4(d) below. 
 (b) Death; Disability. The Term shall terminate on Executive’s death or Disability, at which time the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement to pay further compensation shall cease forthwith, except that the Company shall pay Executive (or his estate or legal representative, as the case may be), in full and complete satisfaction of all of the
Company’s obligations under this Agreement, the following: (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary prorated on a daily basis up to the date of such termination: (ii) subject to submission of all required documentation, reimbursable
expenses accrued (but unpaid) as of the date of such notice of termination of the Executive’s employment; (iii) any accrued but unused vacation days paid at a rate determined consistently with Company policy; and (iv) any vested and
accrued employee benefits payable under the Company’s employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Rights”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental disability or
incapacity of Executive, whether total or partial, that, in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board, has prevented him from performing substantially all of his duties under this Agreement during a period of two consecutive months or
for 180 (one hundred and eighty) days during any 12 (twelve) month period (or such longer period as may be required to comply with applicable law). 
 (c) Discharge for Cause. If Executive (i) willfully fails to perform his duties hereunder in a material manner and such failure shall not be discontinued promptly after written notice
to Executive thereof (which notice shall be signed by the Board or a designated officer of the Company and refer to a breach of the Employment Agreement); (ii) is charged with or indicted for a felony or other crime casting doubt on
Executive’s trustworthiness or integrity; (iii) (A) materially breaches any of his covenants under Sections 5(a) through 5(d) hereof or (B) knowingly and materially breaches any of his covenants under Section 5(e) hereof;
(iv) commits any act of dishonesty that is intended to result in personal enrichment of the Executive at the expense of the Company or (v) in bad faith, commits any act or omits to take any action, to the material detriment of the Company
(each of the foregoing (i) - (v) constituting “Cause”); then the Company may at any time by written notice terminate Executive’s employment and the Term, and Executive shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit
from the Company hereunder on and after the effective date of such notice, except for any Accrued Rights. 
  

 -4- 

 (d) Termination Without Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company, in the sole discretion of the Board, shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment during the Term at any time and for any reason, without Cause by written notice to Executive. In
the event that Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause, then the Company shall pay Executive as severance an aggregate amount equal to one (1) times his Base Salary. This severance shall be payable in equal installments, as and
when Executive’s Base Salary would have been payable. The Company shall have no other liability to Executive other than for the Accrued Rights and statutory unemployment benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4(d), the payments described in this Section 4(d) shall immediately cease if the Executive violates any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 5 of this Agreement. 
 (e) Termination By Executive For Good Reason Following a Change in Control. 
 (i) If, during the remainder of the then-effective Term following a Change in Control, Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason
then such termination shall be treated as a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause under Section 4(d) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (A) the
assignment to Executive of any duties materially and adversely inconsistent with his position as set forth in Section l(a) of this Agreement including, but not limited to status, office or responsibilities as contemplated under Section 1
herein, (B) a change in the Executive’s reporting relationship such that he no longer reports directly to the Board, (C) a material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement after receipt of written notice thereof from
the Executive and failure by the Company to cure the breach within thirty (30) days thereafter, or (D) the relocation of the Executive’s office as assigned to him by the Company to a location more than 50 miles from the
Executive’s office prior to the date of such relocation, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of Executive’s Responsibilities. 
 (f) During the Term, Executive may in his discretion with or without cause terminate his employment with the Company by giving the Company at least thirty (30) days written notice of his decision to
terminate his employment. 
 (g) Executive agrees that following any termination of his employment, he shall co-operate with the
Company in winding up or transferring to other Executives or members of the Board of the Company or such other individuals as may be directed by the Board of any pending work and shall also co-operate with the Company and/or any holding company,
parent company, associated company and/or subsidiary (the “Group”) (to the extent allowed by law and at the Company’s expense) in the defense of any action

  

 -5- 

 
brought by any third party against the Company and/or the Group that relates to Executive’s duties; provided that such cooperation does not reasonably interfere with Executive’s
subsequent employment. The Company and Executive agree that their obligations under this Section 4(g) shall survive the termination of the Term. 
 5. Restrictive Covenants. 
 (a) Non-competition. For
so long as Executive is employed by the Company, and for a period of one year following termination of employment, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, compete with, be engaged in the same business as, be employed by, act as a consultant to,
or be a director, officer, Executive, owner or partner of, any business or organization which competes with or is engaged in the same business as the Company or the Group is now engaged in or hereafter engages in during the Term; provided that
Executive’s ownership of the stock of any publicly traded entity or mutual fund will not be treated as a violation of this Section 5(a) if such ownership does not result in Executive’s indirect ownership of more than 1% of the
outstanding class of any equity securities of an entity that is competitive with the Company. 
 (b) Solicitation of
Clients. For so long as Executive is employed by the Company, and for a period of one year following termination of employment, Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit or accept business of the type conducted by the Company and/or
the Group during the Term from any person or entity for whom (to the knowledge of Executive) the Company or the Group then or has, during the 12 (twelve) months preceding the date of termination, provided products and/or rendered services.

 (c) Interference. For so long as Executive is employed by the Company and for a period of one year following
termination of employment, Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, interfere with the Company and/or the Group’s contracts and relationships, or prospective contracts and relationships, including, but not limited to, the Company
and/or the Group’s customer or client contracts and relationships. 
 (d) Solicitation of Executives. For so
long as Executive is employed by the Company and for a period of one year following termination of employment, Executive shall not directly or indirectly encourage or solicit to leave from the Company and/or the Group’s employ, or solicit to
join the employ of another person, firm or corporation any executive of the Company and/or the Group or any person who has been such as executive during the 12 (twelve) months preceding the date of termination; provided, however, that Executive may
solicit any executive whose employment was terminated by the Company and/or the Group without Cause. 
 (e) Confidential
Information. 
 (i) Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company he will have access to
Confidential Information of the Company and/or the Group to enable him to optimize the performance of his duties to the Company and/or the Group. Executive agrees to use such Confidential Information solely for the Company and/or the

  

 -6- 

 
Group’s benefit during his employment hereunder. Executive agrees that upon the termination of his employment in accordance with Section 4, the Company shall have no obligation to
provide or otherwise make available to him any of its Confidential Information. Executive understands that “Confidential Information” means any Company and/or Group proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how,
including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer/client lists and customers/clients (including, but not limited to, customers/clients of the Company and/or the Group on whom Executive called or with whom Executive
became acquainted during the Term), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed to him
by the Company and/or the Group either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment. Executive further understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which has
become publicly known and made generally available through no wrong act or omission of his or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or improvements or new versions thereof. 
 (ii) Executive agrees, at all times during the Term and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except
for the exclusive benefit of the Company and/or the Group, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation without written authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company and/or the Group.

 (iii) Executive agrees that he shall not, during the Term and thereafter, improperly use or disclose any
proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity and that he will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or
entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity. 
 (iv) Executive recognizes that the
Company and/or the Group has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company and/or the Group’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information
and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Executive agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in
carrying out his work for the Company and/or the Group consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party. 
 (v) Executive will at all times during this Agreement be in a position to make use of information in the performance of his duties. However, if he has any concerns as to whether or not it is appropriate
for him to use such information he must draw it to the attention of the Board, who will give appropriate advice. 
  

 -7- 

 (vi) Executive agrees that, at the time of leaving the employ of the
Company, he will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in his possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, any devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists,
correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Executive pursuant to his employment with the Company or otherwise belonging
to the Company and/or the Group, their successors or assigns. 
 (vii) In the event that Executive leaves the
employ of the Company, Executive hereby grants consent to notification by the Company to his new employer about his rights and duties under this Agreement. 
 (viii) If Executive breaches his obligation of confidentiality hereunder, Executive shall be liable to the Company for all damages (direct or consequential) incurred as a result of Executive’s
breach. 
 (f) Divisibility. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 5 be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, the provisions contained in this Section 5 as to the time period, geographic area and scope of activities restricted shall be deemed divisible, so that if any provision
contained in this Section 5 is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent lawfully permitted. 
 (g) Relief. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary for the
protection of the Company and that: (i) Executive’s services are and will remain special and extraordinary and have and will have a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any action
at law; (ii) Executive is willing to comply with the restrictions contained in this Section 5; (iii) the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will not impair Executive’s ability to earn a living in any businesses other
than those businesses from which Executive is prohibited during the time of such restriction; and (iv) a breach of Executive’s obligations under this Section 5 hereof will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage. Accordingly,
Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief for the purpose of restraining Executive from violating such covenants (and no bond or other security shall be required in connection therewith), in
addition to any other relief to which the Company may be entitled. 
 (h) Survival. The Company and
Executive agree that their obligations under this Section 5 shall survive the Term. 
 6. Representations, Warranties
and Agreements. Executive hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows: 
 (a) Ability to Perform.
Executive is free to enter into this Agreement, and to keep fully and perform all of Executive’s agreements, covenants and conditions hereunder. Executive has not done and will not do any act or thing nor make any

  

 -8- 

 
agreement, commitment, grant or assignment which might interfere with or impair the complete enjoyment of the rights granted and the services to be rendered to the Company. Executive is under no
contractual or other restriction or obligation which is inconsistent with the execution of this Agreement, the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or the other rights of the Company hereunder. Executive is aware of no impediments or
restraints that would hinder the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Executive, duly enforceable against Executive in accordance with the terms hereof.

 (b) Indemnification. Executive shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against, any and all
liability, claims, actions, penalties and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expenses, which the Company may suffer by reason of any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or agreement made by Executive under this
Section 6. 
 7. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Survival. The covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
survive the Term. 
 (b) Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as
creating, any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Agreement, other than members of the Group, which me intended to be beneficiaries of Executive’s obligations. 
 (c) Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable by either party; provided, however, that the Company shall have the
right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, or to any person or entity to whom or which the business of the Company may be transferred. All covenants and agreements
hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding, upon the Company’s successors and assigns. 
 (d) Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to agreements made and to be performed in that state, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law. Executive
hereby expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Maryland for any lawsuit filed there against Executive by the Company concerning his employment or the termination of his employment or
arising from or relating to this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. If any party institutes legal action to enforce or
interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party shall pay its own fees and costs in connection therewith.

 (f) Enforceability. If any term or provision or part of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in
part, such term or provision or part shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement, but the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person
or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope or area is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so
that the scope or area of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.

 AGREEMENT 
 This AGREEMENT is made by and between Global Strategies Group (North America) Inc., a Maryland Corporation (f/k/a SFA, Inc.) (the
“Company”) and John Hillen (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the
Employment Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Executive on August 18, 2008, (the “Employment Agreement”) the Company currently employs the Executive in the capacity of President and Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to separate the positions of CEO and President such that the position of
President of the Company will be held by an individual other than the Executive; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue
to employ the Executive in the capacity of CEO of the Company. 
 In consideration of the foregoing and the covenants below, the
Company and Executive agree as follows: 
 1. Executive shall continue in all material respects to perform the duties and bear
the responsibilities of CEO of the Company, as those duties and responsibilities are set forth in the Employment Agreement. 
 2. The Company may retain another individual who will be employed in the capacity of President of the Company. 
 3.
Effective upon election of another individual as President of the Company, Section l(a) of the Employment Agreement is amended to delete the words “President and” in each place where such words appear. 
 4. The change in position contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute Good Reason, as that term is defined in the Employment
Agreement, and the Executive hereby waives any and all claims that may arise from the change contemplated by this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Section l(a) of the Employment Agreement, as herein amended, shall apply for purposes of determining
the existence of Good Reason following such amendment.
