3.4 Deposit Inventory. The Parties acknowledge and agree that pursuant to Addendum No. 2 to the Prior Agreement Sourcefire provided Patriot with a deposit of funds (the “Deposit”), the amount of which should not exceed twenty percent (20%)(the “Deposit Percentage”) of the cost of any Components that are not subject to an Order for finished Products (the “Deposit Inventory”), and that Patriot still retains the Deposit. Patriot agrees that the Deposit Inventory shall remain the property of Patriot until such time that Sourcefire takes title to Products that include the Deposit Inventory. Patriot may, upon notice to Sourcefire, return all or any portion of the Deposit. If the value of the Deposit Inventory, as determined on a quarterly basis by Sourcefire, decreases such that the amount of the Deposit exceeds an amount equal to the Deposit Percentage multiplied by the actual cost of the Deposit Inventory, then Patriot must return to Sourcefire such excess amount of the Deposit to maintain the Deposit Percentage. Patriot shall promptly pay such excess amount to Sourcefire and the Deposit shall be reduced thereby. If the Deposit Inventory, as determined on a quarterly basis by Sourcefire, increases then it shall be in the sole discretion of Sourcefire whether to deposit additional amounts with Patriot to maintain the Deposit Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Patriot shall return the full amount of the Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Sourcefire immediately upon Sourcefire’s written request.

12
The foregoing warranty shall not apply if the identified defects were caused by accident or damage (other than by Patriot), improper installation, alteration or misuse of a Product by Customer. Patriot’s sole obligation under this limited warranty shall be, at Sourcefire’s option, to repair the defective Product at Patriot’s Manufacturing Facility, deliver to Sourcefire or a Customer a replacement Product, or if neither of the two foregoing options is reasonably possible, a refund will be provided to Sourcefire for the Product Price paid for the defective Product.

Upon request by Sourcefire, Patriot shall also maintain a reasonable inventory of additional Products and Customer Ready Products in a separate pool to be used solely to replace Products subject to a warranty claim.
Sourcefire acknowledges that Patriot may be required to perform certain de-integration services in order to determine whether an alleged defect of a Component is the root cause of a breach of the materials warranty in Section 9.1(f), Section 9.2 or Section 9.3. If it is determined that the percentage failure rate of a Component for which a breach of materials warranty claim is made under Section 9.1(f), Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is in excess of the Acceptable Rate (defined below), then Sourcefire shall pay Patriot for the related de-integration services performed for each Component so effected at Patriot’s then-current time and materials rate, plus the associated freight and shipping costs. The “Acceptable Rate” shall be the percentage amount to be agreed upon by the Parties that is based on the ratio of (a) the number of Components that have a material defect, to (b) the total number of such Components included by Patriot in Products. In addition, if it is determined that there is no trouble found (“NTF”) with respect to a Product returned under a warranty claim, then Sourcefire shall pay Patriot for all related de-integration services, plus associated freight and shipping costs for such NTF Products.
