which the Executive releases the Company from any obligations and liabilities of any type
whatsoever under this Agreement, except for the Company’s obligations with respect to the
Termination Compensation. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Termination Compensation that may

travel obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing events or actions shall not constitute
Good Reason unless the Executive shall have provided the Company with written notice of the event
or action allegedly constituting Good Reason (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the
particulars of such Good Reason) and the Company has not cured such event or action within thirty
(30) days of the Company’s receipt of such written notice.
(3) A resignation by the Executive for Good Reason shall be treated for all severance purposes
as a termination without Cause. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the
Termination Compensation described in Section 5(c)(l) hereof, provided that the Executive executes
a release as described in Section 5(c)(2) hereof.
EXECUTION COPY
(g) Notice; Effective Date of Termination. The termination of the Executive’s employment
pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective on the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after the

using any Company property after the delivery of such notice or expiration of the Employment
Period.
(h) Survival of Obligations under NDA. The Executive shall remain bound by the obligations
imposed upon him pursuant to the terms of the NDA subsequent to the Executive’s termination for
Cause or resignation without Good Reason. If Executive is terminated without Cause or resigns for
Good Reason, Executive’s obligations under the NDA with respect to Section 8 (non-competition)
and Section 9 (non-solicitation) shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect as of
the date of such termination, provided that Executive agrees to waive any right to Termination
Compensation.

party, any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the

agree that they will not disparage, criticize or make statements which are negative, detrimental or
injurious to the other to any individual, company or client, including within the Company.
7. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Company shall maintain director and officer
liability insurance at all times during the Employment Period with an underwriter and upon terms
acceptable to the Board.
8. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. In the event that
the Company is acquired, is a non surviving party in a merger, or transfers substantially all of
its assets, this Agreement shall not be terminated and the transferee or surviving company shall be
bound by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties understand that the obligations of the
Executive are personal and may not be assigned by him.

dated February 5, 2002 entered into by the Company and Executive contain the entire understanding
of the Executive and the Company with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and
supersede any and all prior understandings, written or oral, between the Executive and the Company.

instrument in writing, specifically identified as an amendment to this Agreement, and signed by the
Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company. By entering into this Agreement, the
Executive certifies and acknowledges that he has carefully read all of the provisions of this
Agreement and that he voluntarily and knowingly enters into said Agreement.

and between (i) Sourcefire, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (ii)

of this Agreement, the terms below have the following meanings:
(a) “Cause” has the meaning ascribed to such term or words of similar import in the Optionee’s

definition, means the Optionee’s (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or
crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds or property of the
Company, any affiliate, customer or vendor; (iii) personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful

rule, regulation, procedure or policy; or (vii) breach of any provision of any employment,
non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation or other similar agreement executed by the
Optionee for the benefit of the Company, all as determined by the Administrator, which
determination will be conclusive.
(b) “Change In Control” means: (i) the acquisition (other than from the Company) in one or
more transactions by any Person, as defined in this Section 1(b), of the beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) of 50% or more of (A) the then outstanding shares of the securities of the Company, or (B)
the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote

Voting Stock”); (ii) the closing of a sale or
other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) the effective
time of any merger, share exchange, consolidation, or other business combination of the Company if
immediately after such transaction persons who hold a majority of the outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the surviving entity (or the entity
owning 100% of such surviving entity) are not persons who, immediately prior to such transaction,
held the Company Voting Stock; provided, however, that a Change, in Control shall not
include (Y) a public offering of capital stock of the Company or (Z) any transaction pursuant to
which shares of capital stock of the Company are transferred or issued to any trust, charitable
organization, foundation, family partnership or other entity controlled directly or indirectly by,

gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than twelve months. The Administrator may require such proof of Total and Permanent
Disability as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate and the Administrator’s
good faith determination as to whether the Optionee is totally and permanently disabled will be
final and binding on all parties concerned.
2. Vesting.
(a) The Options vest in accordance with the vesting schedule identified in the Stock Option
Certificate attached to this Agreement and constitutes a part of the Agreement (the “Vesting
Schedule” ), so long as the Optionee is in the continuous employ of, or in a service relationship
with, the Company from the Grant Date through the applicable date upon which vesting is scheduled
to occur. No vesting will accrue to any Options after the Optionee ceases to be in either an
employment or other service relationship with the Company, except as provided otherwise in this
Agreement.
(b) Unless the Options have earlier terminated, if before the Optionee has vested in any
Options, his or her employment or other service relationship with the Company terminates due to
death or Total and Permanent Disability, then as of such termination a number of Options will be
vested equal to (i) the total number of Options granted under this Agreement as specified on the
Stock Option Certificate, multiplied by (ii) 25%, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total number of days measured from the Optionee’s Vesting Start Date (as defined in
the Stock Option Certificate) to the date that the employment or other service relationship ceased
and the denominator of which is 365.
3. Exercise of Options.
(a) Right to Exercise. The Optionee may exercise the Options to the extent vested at
any time on or before the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of the Options, unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement. Section 4 below describes certain limitations on exercise of
the Options that apply in the event of the Optionee’s death, Total and Permanent Disability, or
termination of employment or other service relationship with the Company. The Options may be
exercised only in multiples of whole shares and may not be exercised at any one time as to fewer
than one hundred shares (or such lesser number of shares as to which the Options are then
exercisable). No fractional shares will be issued under the Options.
(b) Exercise Procedure. In order to exercise the Options, the following items must be
delivered to the Secretary of the Company before the expiration or termination of the Options: (i)
an exercise notice, in such form as the Administrator may require from time to time, specifying the
number of Option Shares to be purchased, (ii) full payment of the Exercise Price for such Option
Shares or properly executed, irrevocable instructions, in such form as the Administrator may
require from time to time, to effectuate a broker-assisted cashless exercise, each in accordance
with Section 3(c) of this Agreement, and (iii) an executed copy of any other agreements requested
by the Administrator pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement. An exercise will not be
effective until all of the foregoing items are received by the Secretary of the Company.
(c) Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by delivery of cash,
certified or cashier’s check, money order or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Administrator
in its discretion, a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with Regulation T of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System through a brokerage firm approved by the Administrator,
or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, payment of the Exercise Price may be made by any
other method approved by the Administrator.
(d) Agreement by Optionee to Execute Other Agreements. The Optionee hereby agrees to
execute, as a condition precedent to the exercise of the Options and at any time thereafter as
may reasonably be requested by the Administrator, a Stock Restriction Agreement, substantially in
the form, and containing the terms and provisions, of the Stock Restriction Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit A, with respect to any Option Shares acquired by the Optionee pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, that execution of the Stock Restriction Agreement will
not be required upon any exercise of the Options that occurs after the closing of the first public
offering of capital stock of the Company that is effected pursuant to a registration statement
filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or, if later, the expiration of any market stand-off agreement
that applies to other shareholders of the Company respecting such public offering of capital stock.
(e) Issuance of Shares upon Exercise. Upon exercise of the Options in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Company will issue to the Optionee, the brokerage firm specified
in the Optionee’s delivery instructions pursuant to a broker-assisted cashless exercise, or such
other person exercising the Options, as the case may, the number of shares of Common Stock so
paid for, in the form of fully paid and nonassessable stock. The Company will deliver stock
certificates for the Option Shares as soon as practicable after exercise, which certificates will,
unless such Option Shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under
applicable federal and state law, bear a legend restricting
transferability of such shares and
referencing any applicable Stock Restriction Agreement.
4. Termination of Employment or Service.
(a) Exercise Period Following Cessation of Employment or Other Service
Relationship, In General. If the Optionee ceases to be employed by, or in a service
relationship with, the Company for any reason other than death, Total and Permanent Disability,
voluntary resignation or discharge for Cause, (i) the unvested Options, after giving effect to the
provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement, terminate immediately upon such cessation, and (ii) the
vested Options remain exercisable during the 30-day period following such cessation, but in no
event after the Expiration Date. Unless sooner terminated the vested
Options automatically terminate upon the expiration of such 30-day period.
(b) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a) above, if
the Optionee ceases to be employed by, or in a service relationship with, the Company as a result
of the Optionee’s Total and Permanent Disability, (i) the unvested Options, after giving effect to
the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement, terminate immediately upon such cessation, and (ii)
the vested Options remain exercisable during the six-month period following such cessation, but in
no event after the Expiration Date. Unless sooner terminated, the vested Options automatically
terminate upon the expiration of such six-month period.
(c) Death of Optionee. If the Optionee dies prior to the expiration or other
termination of the Options, (i) the unvested Options, after giving effect to the provisions of
Section 2 of this Agreement, terminate immediately upon the Optionee’s death, and (ii) the vested
Options remain exercisable during the six-month period following the Optionee’s death, but in no
event after Expiration Date, by the Optionee’s executor, personal representative, or the
person(s) to whom the Options are transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Unless sooner terminated, the vested Options automatically terminate upon the expiration of such
six-month period.
(d) Voluntary Resignation/Misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Options terminate in their entirety, regardless of whether the Options are
vested, immediately upon the Optionee’s voluntary resignation of employment or other service
relationship, upon the Optionee’s discharge of employment or other service relationship for Cause
or upon the Optionee’s commission of any of the following acts during any period following the
cessation of employment or other service relationship during which the Options otherwise would be
exercisable: (i) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds or property of the Company, or (ii)
breach by the Optionee of any provision of any employment, non-disclosure, non-competition,
non-solicitation, assignment of inventions, or other similar agreement executed by the Optionee for
the benefit of the Company, as determined by the Administrator, which determination will be
conclusive.
5. Market Stand-Off Agreement. The Optionee agrees that following the effective date
of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, the Optionee, for the
duration specified by and to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock
or other securities of the Company, shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, enter into a transaction which
would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in
whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any
such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities or other
securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale,
pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, in
each case during the seven days prior to and the 180 days after the effectiveness of any
underwritten offering of the Company’s equity securities (or
such longer or shorter period as may
be requested in writing by the managing underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the
“Market Stand-Off Period”), except as part of
such underwritten registration if otherwise
permitted. In addition, the Optionee agrees to execute any further letters, agreements and/or
other documents requested by the Company or its underwriters which are consistent with the terms of
this Section 5. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities
subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Stand-Off Period.
6. Nontransferability of Options. These Options are nontransferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of the Optionee, the Options
may be exercised only by the Optionee or, during the period the Optionee is under a legal
disability, by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. Except as provided above, the
Options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether
by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process.
7. Termination of Options/Recapture Payment. The Options are granted as
consideration for, and contingent upon, the Optionee becoming a party to the Company’s Assignment
of Inventions, Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement or any successor
agreement thereto (the “Assignment Agreement”). The Optionee further recognizes and acknowledges
that it would be difficult to ascertain the damages arising from a violation of the covenants set
forth in the Assignment Agreement. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
the Administrator or its delegate, in its sole discretion, determines that the Optionee has engaged
in any activity that contravenes the covenants set forth in the Assignment Agreement, the
Optionee agrees that the following shall occur:
(i) | The Options will terminate effective on the date on which such determination is made, regardless of whether the Options are vested in whole or in part, unless terminated sooner by operation of another provision of this Agreement; and | ||
(ii) | With respect to any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee through the exercise of the Options within three months before the Optionee’s termination of employment or at any time after the Optionee’s termination of employment (the “Recapture Shares”), the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company, within 30 days of when the Company delivers written notice to the Optionee, a “Recapture Payment.” The Recapture Payment may be paid in cash, Recapture Shares, or a combination of cash or Recapture Shares. In the event that the Optionee holds Recapture Shares on the date that he or she is determined to have violated the covenants in the Assignment Agreement, the Administrator may demand that the Recapture Payment be made by tendering the Recapture Shares. If paid in cash, the Recapture Payment shall be an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares on the exercise date over the Exercise Price paid by the Optionee to acquire the Recapture Shares. If paid in Recapture Shares, the Recapture Payment shall be paid by the Optionee delivering to the Company share certificates evidencing the Recapture Shares, together with a stock |
power, endorsed in blank. As soon as practicable after receipt of the stock certificates and stock power properly endorsed, the Company will pay to the Optionee the lower of (A) the aggregate Exercise Price paid by the Optionee to acquire the Recapture Shares for which the stock certificates have been delivered to the Company or (B) the Fair Market Value of such Recapture Shares at that time. |
Nothing in this Section will be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other
remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any
damages set forth in this Agreement and that it may additionally prove, and all remedies will be
cumulative and not affirmative.
8. Coordination With Other Agreements. To the extent that the Optionee is a party to
any agreement with the Company that contains the same or similar covenants as those set forth in
the Assignment Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the
“Other Agreement”), the Optionee and the
Company expressly agree that any remedy available to the Company under this Agreement or the
Assignment Agreement is in addition to, and does not limit the enforceability of, any remedy
available to the Company under such Other Agreement.
9. Nonstatutory Nature of the Options. The Options are not intended to qualify
as incentive stock options within the meaning of Code section 422, and this Agreement shall be so
construed. The Optionee acknowledges that, upon exercise of the Options, the Optionee will
recognize taxable income in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the
Option Shares over the Exercise Price and must comply with the provisions of Section 10 of this
Agreement with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise as a result of such exercise.
10. Withholding of Taxes. At the time the Options are exercised, in whole or in part,
or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding
from payroll or any other payment of any kind due the Optionee and otherwise agrees to make
adequate provision for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if
any, which arise in connection with the Options. The Company may require the Optionee to make a
cash payment to cover any withholding tax obligation as a condition of exercise of the Options or
issuance of share certificates representing Option Shares.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the Optionee to satisfy, in whole or
in part, any withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the Options either by
electing to have the Company withhold from the shares to be issued upon exercise that number of
shares, or by electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares, in either case having a
Fair Market Value equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding
amount due.
11. Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.
(a)
Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. Upon a stock dividend of, or
stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, the number of shares covered by and
the exercise price and other terms of the Options, shall, without further action of the Board, be
adjusted to reflect such event unless the Board determines, at the time it approves such stock
dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, that no such adjustment shall be made. The
Administrator may make adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of fractional
shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to the Options as a result of the stock
dividend, stock split or reverse stock split.
(b) Non-Change in Control Transactions. Except with respect to the transactions set
forth in Section 11 (a), in the event of any change affecting the Common Stock, the Company or its
capitalization, by reason of a spin-off, split-up, dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation or share exchange, other than any such change that is part of a transaction resulting
in a Change in Control, the Administrator, in its discretion and without the consent of the
Optionee, shall make any adjustments in the Options, including but not limited to modifying the
number, kind and price of securities subject to the Options.
(c) Change in Control Transactions. Unless otherwise set forth in the Stock Option
Certificate, in the event of any transaction resulting in a Change in Control, the Options will
terminate upon the effective time of any such Change in Control unless provision is made in
connection with the transaction in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the continuation
or assumption of the Options, or the substitution of the Options with new options of the surviving
or successor entity or a parent thereof. In the event of such termination, the Optionee will be
permitted, for a period of at least twenty days prior to the effective time of the Change in
Control, to exercise all portions of such Options that are then exercisable or which become
exercisable upon or prior to the effective time of the Change in Control.
(d)
Adjustments for Unusual Events. The Administrator is authorized to make, in its
discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and
the criteria included in, the Options in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting
the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Administrator determines that
such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Options or the Plan.
(e) Binding Nature of Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 11 will be made by
the Administrator, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent
thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the
Options on account of any such adjustments. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply
with equal force to any additional and/or substitute securities received by the Optionee pursuant
to this Section 11 in exchange for, or by virtue of the Optionee’s ownership of, the Options or the
Option Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator.
12. Confidential Information. In consideration of the Options granted to the
Optionee pursuant to this Agreement, the Optionee agrees and covenants that, except as specifically
authorized by the Company, the Optionee will keep confidential any trade secrets or confidential or
proprietary information of the Company which are now or which hereafter may become known to the
Optionee as a result of the Optionee’s employment by or other service relationship with the
Company, and shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, disclose any such information to any
person, firm, company or other entity, or use the same in any way other than in connection with the
business of the Company, at all times during and after the Optionee’s employment or other service
relationship. The provisions of this Section 12 shall not narrow or otherwise limit the
obligations and responsibilities of the Optionee set forth in any agreement of similar import
entered into between the Optionee and the Company.
13. Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or this
Agreement shall alter the at-will or other employment status or other service relationship of the
Optionee, nor be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between the Company
and the Optionee, or as a contractual right of Optionee to continue in the employ of, or in a
service relationship with, the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of
the Company to discharge the Optionee at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or
not such discharge results in the failure of any Options to vest or any other adverse effect on the
Optionee’s interests under the Plan.
14. No Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a
stockholder with respect to the Option Shares until such shares have been issued to him or her upon
the due exercise of the Options. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or
other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued.
15. The
Company’s Rights. The existence of the Options shall not affect in any way the right
or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its
business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the
Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale
or transfer of all or any part of the
Company’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.
16. Optionee. Whenever the word “Optionee” is used in any provision of this Agreement
under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed, as determined by the
Administrator, to apply to the estate, personal representative, or beneficiary to whom the Options
may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or another permitted
transferee, the word “Optionee” shall be deemed to include such person.
17. Notices. All notices and other communications made or given pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently made or given if hand delivered or mailed
by certified mail, addressed to the Optionee at the address contained in the records of the
Company, or addressed to the Administrator, care of the Company for the attention of its Corporate
Secretary at its principal office or, if the receiving party consents in advance, transmitted and
received via telecopy or via such other electronic transmission mechanism as may be available to
the parties.
18. Entire Agreement; Additional Grants. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the Options granted hereunder. Any and all prior
agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement are
hereby revoked. This Agreement is, and is intended by the parties to be, an integration of any and
all prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, with respect to the Option and the Option
Shares. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all future grants of
options to Optionee pursuant to the Plan and the term “Grant Date” shall refer to each such
subsequent grant date. Any such future grants and acceptance thereof shall be evidenced by the
completion, execution and attachment to this Agreement of an additional Stock Option Certificate,
in the form provided by the Company, which shall be incorporated herein by reference.
19. Invalidity
or Unenforceability. It is the intention of the Company and the
Optionee that this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law. In the
event that a court having jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company and the Optionee agree that, if allowed by law,
that provision shall be reduced to the degree necessary to render it valid and enforceable without
affecting the rest of this Agreement.
20. Waiver. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the
Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as
a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.
21. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrator in
its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in a manner that
would have a materially adverse effect on the Options or Option Shares as determined in the
discretion of the Administrator, except as provided in the Plan or in a written document signed by
each of the parties hereto.
22. Conformity
with Plan. This Agreement is intended to conform in all respects with,
and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan. Inconsistencies between this Agreement
and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In the event of any
ambiguity in this Agreement or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall
govern. A copy of the Plan is provided to you with this Agreement.
23. Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement, and of any
determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to this Agreement, and the rights of
any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest under this Agreement, shall be
determined exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its
provisions concerning the applicability of laws of other jurisdictions. Any suit with respect
hereto will be brought in
the
federal or state courts in the districts which include the city and state in which the
principal offices of the Company are located, and the Optionee hereby agrees and submits to the
personal jurisdiction and venue thereof.
24. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and

in, execute, seal and deliver a copy of this Agreement as a result of which he shall
become an additional Stockholder party hereto. If the Offering Stockholder shall not

Non-Breach Closing Date”) for such purchase which shall be not less than 10 days after the
Non-Breach Termination nor more than 90 days after the Non-Breach Termination. The Non-Breach
Shares shall be purchased by the Corporation on the Corporate Non-Breach Closing Date at a price
