(b) In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company for Cause, (ii) by death or Total Disability, or (iii) by the Executive, then the Company shall have no duty to make any payments or provide any benefits to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement other than payment of the amount of the Executive’s Base Salary accrued through the date of termination of his employment and any other benefits the Executive is due pursuant to the employment benefit plans of the Company.

5. Certain Covenants of the Executive.
5.1 Restrictive Covenants.
(a) The parties hereto agree that as used herein “Confidential Information” means all information which becomes known to the Executive as a consequence of his employment by the Company and includes, but is not limited to, information about the Company’s customers, methods of operation, prospective and executed contracts, trade secrets, business contacts, customer lists, and all technological, business, financial, accounting, statistical and personnel information regarding the Company. The parties hereto further agree and stipulate that this Confidential Information was developed by the Company at considerable expense, that this information is a valuable asset and part of the Company’s goodwill, that this information is vital to the Company’s success and is the sole property of the Company.
(b) The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that during his employment by the Company, the Executive has, or will, become familiar with the Company’s Confidential Information.
(c) The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the Company is engaged in the business of, among other things, building satellite ground systems and equipment for command and control, integration and test, data processing and simulation (the “Business”). The Business is a highly competitive enterprise, so that any unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use by the Executive of the Confidential Information protected under this Agreement, whether during his
5
employment with the Company or after its termination, would cause immediate, substantial and irreparable injury to the Business and the goodwill of the Company.
(d) The Executive agrees that upon termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary or with or without Cause, he will surrender to the Company every item and every document which is the Company’s property or will completely remove from the Executive’s personal property such Confidential Information in whatever form (e.g. cell phones, PDA’s, personal computers, etc.). All such documents and Confidential Information are the sole and absolute property of the Company. At the written request of the Company, the Executive shall provide the designated representative of the Company a certificate containing the following statement: “The Executive hereby certifies that he has notified the Company’s designated representative of all Confidential Information residing on any personal property of the Executive to which the Executive is aware of after due review and inspection and has removed and destroyed (unless otherwise directed in writing by the Company) all Confidential Information from all personal property of the Executive.” Thereafter, in the event that the Executive becomes aware of any further Confidential Information on the Executive’s personal property, the Executive shall notify the Company in writing and again comply with the immediately preceding sentence.
(e) The Executive agrees that during his employment and following the termination of that employment for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary or with or without Cause, he will not, on his own behalf or as a partner, officer, director, employee, agent, or consultant of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, disclose the Company’s Confidential Information to any person or entity other than agents of the Company, and he will not use or aid others in obtaining or using any such Confidential Information. The Executive’s obligations under this Section 5.1(e) shall not be deemed violated in the event that (i) the Executive discloses any Confidential Information pursuant to order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided the Executive has notified the Company of such potential legal order and provided the Company with the opportunity to challenge or limit the scope of the disclosure, or (ii) the information becomes generally available from a source other than the Company, any of its affiliates, or any of their employees when such source is not legally prohibited, to the best of the Executive’s knowledge, from making such information available.
(f) All inventions, prototypes, discoveries, improvements, innovations and the like (“Inventions”) and all works of original authorship or images that are fixed in any tangible medium of expression and all copies thereof (“Works”) which are designed, created or developed by the Executive, solely or in conjunction with others, in the course of performance of the Executive’s duties which relate to the Business, shall be made or conceived for the exclusive benefit of and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. The Executive shall immediately notify the Company upon the design, creation or development of all Inventions and Works. At any time thereafter, the Executive, at the request and expense of the Company, shall execute and deliver to the Company all documents or instruments which may be necessary to secure or perfect the Company’s title to or interest in the Inventions and Works, including but not limited to applications for letters of patent, and extensions, continuations or reissues thereof, applications for copyrights and documents or instruments of assignment or transfer. All Works are agreed and stipulated to be “works made for hire,” as that term is used and understood within the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended or any successor statute. To the extent any Works are not deemed to be works made for hire as defined above, and to the extent that title to or ownership of any Invention or Work and all other rights therein are not otherwise vested exclusively in the Company, the Executive shall, without further
6
consideration but at the expense of the Company, assign and transfer to the Company the Executive’s entire right, title and interest (including copyrights and patents) in or to those Inventions and Works.
5.2 Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 5.1 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Company shall, in addition to its right immediately to terminate this Agreement, have the right and remedy (which right and remedy shall be independent of others and severally enforceable, and which shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity) to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach could cause irreparable injury to the Company or its affiliates and that money damages may not provide adequate remedy to the Company.
5.3 Covenants Currently Binding the Executive. The Executive warrants that his employment by the Company, and his execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, will not (a) violate any non-disclosure agreements, covenants against competition, or other restrictive covenants made by the Executive to or for the benefit of any previous employer or partner, or (b) violate or constitute a breach or default under, any statute, law, judgment, order, decree, writ, injunction, deed, instrument, contract, lease, license or permit to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound.
5.4 Litigation. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation of any nature (either civil or criminal) which is pending or, to the best of the Executive’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Executive or which would adversely affect his ability to substantially perform the duties herein.
5.5 Review. The Executive has received or been given the opportunity to review the provisions of this Agreement, and the meaning and effect of each provision, with independent legal counsel of the Executive’s choosing.
5.6 Severability of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all respects. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
5.7 Blue-Penciling. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. If any such court declines to so revise such covenant, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modification that will make such duration or scope enforceable.
6. Dispute Resolution.
6.1 Costs of Arbitration. If either party brings an arbitration proceeding to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all expenses incurred by it in preparing for and in trying the case, including, but not limited to, investigative costs, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
7
6.2 No Jury Trial. NEITHER PARTY SHALL ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
6.3 Personal Jurisdiction. Both parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in the State of Maryland as to matters involving enforcement of this Agreement including any award under an arbitration proceeding.
6.4 Arbitration. SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES, THE NATURE OF THE EXECUTIVE’S TERMINATION OR THE CALCULATION OF ANY BONUS OR OTHER AMOUNT OR BENEFIT DUE) SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. ANY RESULTING HEARING SHALL BE HELD IN LANHAM, MARYLAND. THE RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTE ACHIEVED THROUGH SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

Integral Systems, Inc. (“Integral Systems”) has adopted a 2002 Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) to permit options to purchase shares of its common stock with par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) to be granted to certain employees, directors, and consultants of Integral Systems and any subsidiary of which it owns, directly or indirectly, greater than 50% of the voting capital stock (the “Company”). Since you are considered an employee of the Company, and since the Company desires you to remain in its employ by providing you with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company’s success, the Stock Option Committee of Integral Systems’ Board of Directors has agreed, subject to the following terms and conditions, to grant you the right to acquire shares of Common Stock. The terms and conditions surrounding this grant to you are set forth below.
| 1. | Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, and this agreement, you are hereby granted, as a matter of separate inducement and not in lieu of salary or any other compensation for services, the option to purchase from Integral Systems all or any part of an aggregate number of twenty thousand (20,000) shares of Common Stock. Such shares of Common Stock are hereinafter referred to as the “Optioned Shares” and the option to purchase the Optioned Shares is referred to as the “Option”. |
| 2. | The price to be paid for the Optioned Shares shall be $23.50 per share, which, in the opinion of the Stock Option Committee, is not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the Optioned Shares on the grant date, which is July 30, 2007. If the Common Stock is admitted for quotation on NASDAQ or some other public market as of the grant date, such fair market value shall not be less than the closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ (or such other market) on the grant date set forth above. |
