Bonds.com Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to Thomas Thees (“Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant accompanying this Stock Option Agreement (the “Notice”), at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Bonds.com Group, Inc. 2011 Equity Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Company, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Plan. The Optionee and the Company are negotiating and anticipate entering into an Employment Agreement with respect to Optionee's employment by the Company (the “Employment Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Stock Option Agreement or the Notice, neither the Company nor the Optionee shall have any obligation to enter into the Employment Agreement and either party may terminate negotiations with respect thereto at any time in its sole discretion.

2. Designation of Option. This Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, and it is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

3. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting/Exercise Schedule set out in the Notice and with the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan as follows:

(a) Right to Exercise.

(i) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

(ii) This Option may only be exercised with respect to Shares that already Vested as of the date of such exercise.

(iii) This Option may not be exercised more than once in any six month period without the consent of the Company.

(iv) In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is governed by Section 5 below, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.

(v) In no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice.

(vi) If requested by the Company, the exercise of this Option shall be conditioned upon and subject to the receipt by the Company of an executed signature page to the Company’s Stockholder’s Agreement, if any.

(b) Method of Exercise; Corporate Transaction.

(i) This Option shall be exercisable by execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, or any other form of written notice approved for such purpose by the Company which shall state Optionee’s election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered to the Company by such means as are determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion to constitute adequate delivery. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price.

(ii) As a condition to the exercise of this Option and as further set forth in Section 12 of the Plan, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the vesting or exercise of the Option, or disposition of Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.

(iii) The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares upon exercise of the Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

(iv) Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Change of Control, this Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”), unless the Successor Corporation does not agree to assume the award or to substitute an equivalent option or right, in which case this Option shall terminate upon the consummation of such transaction; provided, however, that if this Option is not assumed and terminated upon the consummation of such transaction, then this entire Option shall be exercisable for not less than ten (10) business days prior to the consummation of such transaction. For purposes hereof, this Option shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Change of Control, as the case may be, the holder of this Option would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the award the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares covered by the award at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by this Option).

4. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination of the following, at the election of Optionee:

(a) cash or check;

(b) cancellation of indebtedness;

(c) by surrender of shares of Common Stock of the Company that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and any applicable withholding taxes;

(d) by surrender of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to this Option that have a Fair Market value equal to the Exercise Price; or

(e) such other methods as may be consistent with the Plan and permitted by the Plan Administrator.

5. Termination of Relationship.

To the extent that Optionee is not entitled to exercise this Option as of the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth below, the Option shall terminate in its entirety and any Shares for which the Option is not exercisable pursuant to the Notice and this Section 5 shall be forfeited. In no event may the Option be exercised prior to the Vesting Commencement Date or after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice.

(b) Termination Before Execution of Employment Agreement.
