Re: INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This amended and restated letter (this "Letter Agreement") amends and restates that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2015 (the “Current Letter Agreement”) by and among Global Defense & National Security Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the undersigned. The Current Letter Agreement was delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") entered into among the Company, Cowen & Company, LLC, Maxim Group LLC, and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (together with Cowen & Company, LLC and Maxim Group LLC, the “Underwriters”), dated October 24, 2013, relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of up to 6,900,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company. The Common Stock have been sold in the IPO pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the "Prospectus") filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company’s Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 13 hereof.

WHEREAS, the requisite number of stockholders of the Company have approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to, among other things, extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination from October 24, 2015 (the “Current Termination Date”) to November 24, 2015 (the “Extended Termination Date”); and

WHEREAS, the parties to the Current Letter Agreement desire to amend and restate the Current Letter Agreement to provide, among other things, that any references to the Current Termination Date shall be replaced with the Extended Termination Date.

The undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a proposed Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares and any shares acquired by the undersigned in the IPO or the secondary public market in favor of any such proposed Business Combination. The undersigned will not convert any of the shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination or in connection with any vote to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or sell any of the shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned pursuant to a tender offer as described in the Registration Statement.

2. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-five (25) months from the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement, the undersigned will take all reasonable actions within the undersigned’s power to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding IPO Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less franchise and income taxes to the extent they may be paid from interest earned on the Trust Account, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The undersigned agrees that in connection with any cessation of the corporate existence of the Company, it will take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to adopt a plan of distribution in accordance with Section 281(b) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any successor provision thereto. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (each a “Claim”) in or to (x) any distribution of the Trust Account with respect to the undersigned’s Insider Shares in connection with a liquidation and (y) any remaining net assets of the Company after such liquidation. The undersigned hereby waives any Claim against the Trust Account the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the funds held in or distributed from the Trust Account for any reason, other than expressly permitted in the Registration Statement, including the redemption or liquidation of any IPO Shares purchased after the date of the IPO.

3. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, neither the undersigned nor any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination; provided, that the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company upon approval by the Company’s Audit Committee for the undersigned’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination.

4. Neither the undersigned nor any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept from the Company a finder’s fee, broker commission or any other compensation in the event the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

5. The undersigned shall place the undersigned’s Insider Shares in escrow, in accordance with the terms of a Securities Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Company.

6. Of the total Insider Shares, 50% of such shares will be released from escrow six months after the closing of a Business Combination. The remaining 50% of the Insider Shares will be released from escrow one year after the closing of a Business Combination. Prior to the conclusion of such escrow periods, the Insider Shares will not be transferred, assigned sold or released from escrow, subject to certain limited exceptions, including transfers (1) to the Company’s officers, directors and employees, to the undersigned’s affiliates or its members upon its liquidation, (2) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (3) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (4) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (5) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of the Company’s securities or (6) by private sales made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased, in each case where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement and mandatory redemption, as the case may be.

7. The undersigned shall not transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until thirty (30) days after the completion of a Business Combination.

8. With respect to the undersigned, the information in the Registration Statement is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to the undersigned. The undersigned represents and warrants that:

8.5 the undersigned has not been subject to any order prohibiting and is not subject to any legal proceeding seeking to prohibit the undersigned from engaging in any type of business practice;

9. In the event of the distribution of the Trust Account upon the Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination within twenty-five (25) months from the Effective Date, the undersigned agrees (for purposes of this paragraph 9, the undersigned shall be referred to as the “Indemnitor”) to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a Target or by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.63 per IPO Share and provided, further, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall apply only if such third party or Target has not executed an agreement waiving claims against and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall not apply as to any claims against the Company by the underwriters of the IPO. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that the Indemnitor shall undertake such defense.

12. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or relating to this Letter Agreement.
