Employment Agreement - Sourcefire Inc. and Thomas McDonough

Employment Forms

Employment Contract. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

2. Term of Employment. The Executive's employment will commence on September 9, 2002 (the "Effective Date") and will end on the first (1^st) anniversary of that date, provided, however that the Executive's employment may be renewed by vote of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") for consecutive one (1) year periods on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Effective Date and on the last day of every year thereafter, unless sooner terminated by the mutual, written consent of the parties hereto, or otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Employment Period").

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION,
INVENTIONS, AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by SOURCEFIRE, INC. (the "Company"), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby agree as follows:

1. Nondisclosure.

1.1 Recognition of Company's Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during my employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company's Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company's written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns. I have been informed and acknowledge that the unauthorized taking of the Company's trade secrets may subject me to civil and/or criminal penalties.

1.2 Proprietary Information. The term "Proprietary Information" shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, "Proprietary Information" includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Inventions"); and (b) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, I am free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry, which is not gained as result of a breach of this Agreement, and my own, skill, knowledge, know-how and experience to whatever extent and in whichever way I wish.

1.3 Third Party Information. I understand, in addition, that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information ("Third Party Information") subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing.

1.4 No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment by the Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person. I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.

2. Assignment of Inventions.

2.1 Proprietary Rights. The term "Proprietary Rights" shall mean all trade secret, patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights or "moral rights" throughout the world. "Moral rights" refers to any rights to claim authorship of an Invention or to object to or prevent the modification of any Invention, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Invention, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a "moral right."

2.2 Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which I made prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit 1 (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a complete list of all

Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as "Prior Inventions"). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in Exhibit 1 but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is provided on Exhibit 1 for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company's prior written consent.

2.3 Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Sections 2.4, and 2.6, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment with the Company. Inventions assigned to the Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as "Company Inventions."

2.4 Unassigned Inventions. I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any invention that was developed entirely on my own time without using the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets and neither related to the Company's actual or anticipated business, research or development, nor resulted from work performed by me for the Company.

2.5 Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for six (6) months after termination of my employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment. The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

2.6 Government or Third Parry. I also agree to assign all my right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by the Company.

2.7 Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are "works made for hire," pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

2.8 Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at the Company's request on such assistance.

In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

-2-

3. Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

4. Duty of Loyality During Employment. I understand that my employment with the Company requires my full attention and effort. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Company's express written consent, engage in any employment or business activity other than for the Company, including but not limited to employment or business activity which is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by the Company.

5. No Solicitation of Employees, Consultants, Contractors or Customers. I agree that for the period of my employment by the Company and for one (1) years after the date my employment by the Company ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by me or involuntary termination by the Company, I will not, either directly or through others, (i) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any other person or entity, with the exception of John McCurdy and John Czupak and (ii) solicit any customers of the Company with whom I had contact or whose identity I learned as a result of rny employment with the Company if I am working with any Competitive Business as that term is defined in Section 6, below.

The parties agree that for purposes of this Agreement, a customer is any person or entity to which the Company has provided goods or services at any time during the period commencing six (6) months prior to my employment with the Company and ending on the date my employment with the Company ends.

6. Non-Compete Provision. I agree that for the period of my employment with the Company, and for the period of one (1) year after the later of (i) the date my employment ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by me or involuntary termination by the Company, or (ii) the date a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order enforcing this provision, I will not provide services, similar to those I provided to the Company, to any person or entity in competition with the Company within the United States of America. I acknowledge that this non-compete provision is limited to the types of activities and services provided in my employment with the Company. The Company currently engages in the network security business providing network intrusion detection systems; however, the parties acknowledge that this will change as the Company develops. Therefore, the parties agree that a person or entity is in competition with the Company if it provides services or goods similar to those provided by the Company at the time my employment with the Company ends (a "Competitive Business").

7. No Conflicting Agreement or Obligation. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement or obligation of any kind made prior to my employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations I may have with prior employers or entities for which I have provided services. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement or obligation either written or oral in conflict herewith.

8. Return of Company Documents. When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company. I further agree that any property situated on the Company's premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company's termination statement.

9. Legal and Equitable Remedies. I recognize that in the course of employment with the Company, I will have access to Proprietary Information, to Third Party Information, and to employees, consultants, contractors, clients, and customers of the Company. I also recognize that the services I will be employed to provide are personal and unique. I understand that because of this the Company may sustain irreparable injury if I violate this Agreement. In order to limit or prevent such irreparable injury, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.

10. Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.

Nonstatutory Stock Option Grant Agreement

Under The

Sourcefire, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan

This Nonstatutory Stock Option Grant Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of June 24, 2005 (the "Grant Date") by and between (i) Sourcefire, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and (ii) Thomas McDonough ("Optionee").

1. Terminology. All capitalized words that are not defined in this Agreement or in the attached Stock Option Certificate have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. For purposes 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 written employment or service contract with the Company and, in the absence of such agreement or 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 misconduct, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses), or breach of fiduciary duty which involves personal profit; (iv) willful misconduct in connection with the Optionee's duties or willful failure to perform the Optionee's responsibilities in the best interests of the Company; (v) chronic use of alcohol, drugs or other similar substances which affects the Optionee's work performance; (vi) violation of any Company 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 generally in the election of directors (the "Company 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, or established for the benefit of, Martin Roesch or his immediate family members (including spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, and siblings, in each case to include adoptive relations), or transferred to any such immediate family members. For purposes of this Section 1(b), a "Person" means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than: employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by the Company and corporations controlled by the Company.

(d) "Option Shares" mean the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options.

(e) "Total and Permanent Disability" means the inability to engage in any substantial 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 be, 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 the 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. Nontransferabillty 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

(Exhibit 10.5)

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 shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation and Optionee have executed this Agreement, as of the date set forth above.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT is made as of the 9^th day of November, 2002, between Sourcefire, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Thomas McDonough (the "Employee").

For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Common Stock Repurchase Option.

(a) In the event that the Employee is terminated for Cause (as defined in that certain Employment Agreement of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Employee (the "Employment Agreement")) or resigns his employment without Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) at any time within the three (3) year period commencing on the date hereof (the "Common Stock Option Period"), the Company shall have the irrevocable right and option (the "Repurchase Option") to repurchase from the Employee, for a $0.15 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) (the "Common Stock Option Price"), some or all of the Repurchasable Common Stock (as defined below).

"Repurchasable Common Stock" means (i) the 507,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company that the Employee acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award granted by the Company (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), multiplied by (ii) the Percentage in effect at the time the Repurchase Option becomes exercisable by the Company under Section 2(a) below. The "Percentage" shall be 100 percent (100%) on November 9, 2002 and shall be reduced by 8.33 percent (8.33%) on December 9, 2002 and 8.33 percent (8.33%) at the end of each 3-month period from December 9, 2002, provided that the Employee has been in the continuous employ of the Company through the date of each such reduction. By way of clarification, the Percentage shall be 100% during the first month, 91.67% during the following 3-month period (ending 4 months from the date of this Agreement), 83.34% during the next 3-month period (ending 7 months from the date of this Agreement), and shall continue to decrease by 8.33% every 3 months until the Percentage is reduced to 0% on September 9, 2005. Provided however, that upon (a) the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (b) an acquisition of the Company by another corporation or entity by consolidation, merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction resulting in total consideration to the Company of greater than $50 million (a "Change of Control"), the termination of the Company Repurchase Option covering the Repurchasable Common Stock shall accelerate immediately by 33.32 percent (33.32%), provided that the Employee has been in the continuous employ of the Company up to the date of the closing of the Change of Control.

(b) The Repurchase Option shall terminate and be of no further force and effect in the event that (i) the Employee's employment with the Company is terminated without Cause or (ii) the Employee resigns for Good Reason. By way of clarification, the number of shares of Repurchasable Common Stock for which the Repurchase Option may otherwise have become exercisable shall be zero (0) on and as of the effective date of any event described in subsection (i) or (ii) above.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

2. Exercise of Repurchase Option and Closing.

(a) The Company may exercise the Repurchase Option by delivering or mailing to the Employee, within thirty (30) days after the date of termination of the employment of the Employee with the Company (with such date of termination serving as the record date for calculating the Percentage (the "Trigger Date")), a written notice of exercise of the Repurchase Option. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Repurchasable Common Stock to be repurchased. If and to the extent the Repurchase Option is not so exercised by the giving of such a notice within such 30-day period, the Repurchase Option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such 30-day period.

(b) Within ten (10) days after delivery to the Employee of the Company's notice of the exercise of the Repurchase Option pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Employee shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Escrow Instructions referred to in Section 5 below, tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Repurchasable Common Stock which the Company has elected to repurchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, duly endorsed in blank or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such shares to the Company. Upon its receipt of such certificate or certificates, the Company shall pay to the Employee the aggregate Common Stock Option Price payable in respect of such shares.

(c) Upon the payment of the Common Stock Option Price as provided in subsection (b) above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Repurchasable Common Stock repurchased by the Company and all rights and interest therein or related thereto. The Company shall not pay any dividend to the Employee on account of such shares or permit the Employee to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares on or after the date of such payment.

(d) The Common Stock Option Price is payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Employee to the Company or in cash (by check) or both.

(e) The Company shall not repurchase any fraction of a share of Repurchasable Common Stock upon exercise of the Repurchase Option, and any fraction of a share of Repurchasable Common Stock resulting from a computation made pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement shall be rounded to the nearest whole share of Repurchasable Common Stock (with any one-half share being rounded upward).

(f) The Company may assign the Repurchase Option to one or more persons or entities.

3. Restrictions on Transfer. The Employee shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively "transfer") any Repurchasable Common Stock, or any interest therein except that the Employee may transfer all or any shares of the Repurchasable Common Stock to his ancestors, descendants, or spouse, or to trusts for the benefit of such persons, provided that the transferee of such shares delivers to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 3 and the Repurchase Option described in Section 1).

4. Agreement in Connection with Public Offering. The Employee agrees, in connection with the initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, (i) not to sell, make a short sale of, loan, grant any options for the repurchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock held by the Employee (other than those shares included in the offering) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of such registration statement, and (ii) to execute any agreement reflecting clause (i) above as may be requested by the Company or the managing underwriters at the time of such offering.

5. Escrow. The Employee shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company, as escrow agent thereunder. The Employee shall deliver to such escrow agent the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B, and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such escrow agent, on behalf of the Employee, the certificate(s) evidencing the shares of Repurchasable Common Stock. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent pursuant to the terms of such Joint Escrow Instructions.

6. Restrictive Legends. All certificates representing the shares of Repurchasable Common Stock shall have affixed thereto legends in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state securities laws:

"The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and an option to repurchase set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner of these shares (or his predecessor in interest), and such Agreement is available for inspection without charge at the office of the Secretary of the corporation."

�The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under such Act or an opinion of counsel

satisfactory to the corporation to the effect that such registration is not required.�

7. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc.

(a) If from time to time there is any stock split, stock dividend, stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Employee is entitled by reason of his ownership of the Repurchasable Common Stock shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Option, and the restrictions on transfer and the other provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Repurchasable Common Stock.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which all of the Common Stock of the Company is converted into or exchanged for the right to receive cash, securities or other property or any exchange of all of the Common Stock of the Company for cash, securities or other property pursuant to a share exchange transaction, the repurchase and other rights of the Company hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Company's successor and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Repurchasable Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such transaction in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Repurchasable Common Stock under this Agreement. If, in connection with such a transaction, a portion of the cash, securities and/or other property received upon the conversion or exchange of the Repurchasable Common Stock is to be placed into escrow to secure indemnification or similar obligations, the mix between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other property that is placed into escrow shall be the same as the mix between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other property that is not subject to escrow.

8. Withholding Taxes.

(a) The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Employee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the lapse of the Repurchase Option.

(b) The Employee has reviewed with the Employee's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Employee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Employee understands that the Employee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Employee's own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Employee understands that it may be beneficial in many circumstances to elect to be taxed at the time the shares of Repurchasable Common Stock are purchased or restricted rather than when and as the Company's Repurchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the IRS within 30 days from the date of such repurchase or restriction.

THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE EMPLOYEE's SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY's TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION

UNDER SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF THE EMPLOYEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE EMPLOYEE's BEHALF.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Rights To Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Employee any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee of the Company. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the lapse of the Repurchase Option with respect to the Repurchasable Common Stock pursuant to Section 1 hereof is earned only by continuing service as an employee of the Company (not through the act of being hired).

(b) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(c) Waiver. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Employee and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

(e) Notice. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or five (5) days after deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown beneath his or its respective signature to this Agreement, or at such other address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this Section 9(e).

(f) Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(h) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Employee.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

(j) Employee's Acknowledgements. The Employee acknowledges that he: (i) has read this Agreement; (ii) has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and

execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of the Employee's own choice or has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel; (iii) understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement; (iv) is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement; and (v) understands that the law firm of Piper Rudnick LLP is acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and is not acting as counsel for the Employee.

(k) Rights of Stockholder. Subject to the terms and provisions of the general corporation law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, and this Agreement, Employee shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares, to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Common Stock and to tender such shares and receive payment or other consideration for such shares in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, recapitalization or stock purchase transaction.

(l) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate in its entirety upon the earlier of (i) the exercise in full of the Repurchase Option; (ii) the expiration of the Repurchase Option on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement; (iii) the termination of the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 1(b); or (iv) the termination of the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 2(a). Upon termination all unexercised Repurchase Options shall expire and terminate.
