TESSCO TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

STOCK OPTION

THIS STOCK OPTION (this “Option”) is granted by TESSCO Technologies
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to _______ (the
“Optionee”) effective as of ________ (the “Grant Date”).

RECITALS

A. The Optionee is a key employee of the Company. In order to retain the
Optionee and give the Optionee an additional incentive to further the Company’s
growth, development, and financial success, the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”), pursuant to authority
delegated by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), has determined
to grant to the Optionee, pursuant to the TESSCO Technologies Incorporated
Second Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan (as heretofore or from time
to time hereafter amended, the “Plan”), an option to purchase _____ shares (the
“Option Shares”) of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
“Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $______ per share (the “Exercise
Price”), which price the Board has determined to be the fair market value of the
Common Stock as of the Grant Date.

B. This Option is not intended to, and shall not, constitute or be treated as an
“incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, to evidence the grant of the option and to set forth the terms
and conditions governing the exercise thereof and the parties' other agreements
relative thereto, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. GRANT, TERM, AND VESTING OF OPTION

1.1. In General. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right, and the
Optionee shall be entitled, to purchase from the Company at any time and from
time to time after the date hereof but not later than 5:00 p.m. Baltimore time
on ______ (the “Expiration Date”), up to_____ shares of Common Stock at the
Exercise Price on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

1.2. Right to Exercise. Except as otherwise set forth (and subject to all of the
other conditions and limitations contained) in this SECTION 1, this Option shall
become exercisable with respect to the percentage of the total number of Option
Shares (the “Vested Percentage”) on each of the dates set forth below (each a
“Vesting Date”), provided that the Optionee continues to be employed by the
Company on such Vesting Date :

(a) On the [first] anniversary of the Grant Date: [25%] and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b) On the corresponding day (i.e., on the __ day) of each calendar month
following the [first] anniversary of the Grant Date and continuing for a total
of [36] additional months, an additional [2.0833%], until the [fourth]
anniversary of the Grant Date, when the total Vested Percentage shall equal
100%.

1.3. Change in Control.

 

(a) Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 1.2, if there is a Change in
Control of the Company and either (i) the Optionee continues to be employed by
the Company on the date of the Change in Control or (ii) the Optionee’s
employment was terminated either(x) by the Company other than for Cause (as
defined below) or (y) by the Optionee for Good Reason (as defined below) and the
effective date of such termination was not more than three (3) months before the
date of the Change in Control, then this Option shall (if not already so
exercisable) become exercisable with respect to 100% of the total number of
Option Shares.

(b) Notice of Change in Control. 

(i) If at any time before the Expiration Date the Company becomes aware of the
occurrence (or impending occurrence) of any event described in subsection (d)(i)
or subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 1.3 (a “Change in Control Event”), then
the Company shall endeavor to give the Optionee written notice thereof as
promptly as practicable, setting forth (if known) the date on or about which the
Change in Control Event occurred or is anticipated to occur, but neither the
giving of such notice nor any failure to give such notice shall extend or
shorten the time for exercise of this Option, which shall remain exercisable as
otherwise provided herein.

(ii) Not later than twenty (20) days before (x) the consummation of a
transaction described in subsection (d)(iii) or subsection (d)(iv) of this
Section 1.3 (a “Change in Control Transaction”) or (y) the record date or other
date for establishing the holders of Common Stock entitled to the liquidating
dividend or other distribution (or, if more than one distribution is
contemplated, the initial distribution) (the “Liquidating Distribution Record
Date”) in respect of any complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, or
divisive reorganization of the Company approved (or to be approved) by the
Company’s stockholders (a “Company Liquidation”), the Company shall give the
Optionee written notice thereof, which written notice shall specify a date (the
“Accelerated Exercise Deadline”) that is not earlier than the fifteenth (15th)
day after the date such notice was given as the date by which notice of exercise
of this Option must be received by the Company. If the Optionee thereafter gives
timely notice of exercise of this Option, such exercise shall be effective as
provided in subsection (c)(i).

(c) Effectiveness of Exercise; Early Termination of Option.  

(i) If the Company has given notice of a Change in Control Transaction or a
Liquidating Distribution Record Date pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) and has
received from the Optionee a notice of exercise not later than the Accelerated
Exercise Deadline, then (unless the notice of exercise expressly states that it
is not so conditioned and should be deemed an exercise of this Option to
whatever extent this Option is then otherwise exercisable or to some lesser
extent) the exercise of this Option effected by such notice of exercise (whether
or not explicitly so stated therein) shall (x) in the case of a Change in
Control Transaction, be conditioned upon, and shall be deemed to occur
immediately before, the consummation of the Change in Control Transaction and
(y) in the case of a Company Liquidation, be conditioned upon stockholder
approval of the plan or proposal for the Company Liquidation (unless such
stockholder approval has theretofore been obtained) and shall be conditioned
upon (as shall be the accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 1.3(a) above) and
be deemed to occur immediately before the Liquidating Distribution Record Date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii) If the Company has given notice of a Change in Control Transaction or a
Liquidating Distribution Record Date pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) and has not
received from the Optionee a notice of exercise on or before the Accelerated
Exercise Deadline, then this Option shall (to the extent not previously
exercised) expire as of, and shall no longer be exercisable from and after, the
Accelerated Exercise Deadline, unless the Board or the Committee (or any
successor to either) in its sole and absolute discretion determines, in
connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control Transaction or
Company Liquidation or otherwise, that this Option (or an option issued to
replace, or in substitution, for this Option, including as permitted pursuant to
Section 4.2 below) should be or remain exercisable for some longer period
(ending in no event later than the Expiration Date).

(d) For purposes of this Option, a “Change in Control” means the occurrence of
any of the following:

(i) any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than
Robert B. Barnhill, Jr., his affiliates, and members of his family) becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities of the Company; or

(ii) there is a change in the composition of a majority of the Board within
twelve (12) months after any “person” (as defined above) (other than Robert B.
Barnhill, Jr., his affiliates, and members of his family) becomes the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty
percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
securities of the Company; or

(iii) there is consummated any consolidation or merger or share exchange
involving the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock would be
converted into cash, securities, or other property, other than a merger of the
Company in which the holders of the Company’s common stock immediately before
the merger have substantially the same proportionate ownership of common stock
of the surviving entity immediately after the merger; or

(iv) there is consummated any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one
transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or a substantial portion
of the assets of the Company other than to one or more of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries; or 

(v) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan or proposal for a Company
Liquidation.

(e) No Extension of Expiration Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Option, in no event may this Option be exercised in whole or in part after the
Expiration Date.

1.4. Termination for Cause; Resignation. If (i) the Optionee’s employment with
the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or
(ii) the Optionee resigns or otherwise voluntarily terminates his or her
employment with the Company other than for Good Reason (as defined below), then
all rights under this Option shall terminate effective as of the date of such
termination. For purposes of this Option:

(a) “Cause” means any of the following, each of which shall also constitute
“gross misconduct” as that term is used in the Plan:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i) The Optionee’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a
felony or a crime involving moral turpitude;

(ii)The Optionee’s embezzlement or criminal diversion of funds or property of
the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries; or

(ii) Any willful failure by the Optionee to perform the substantial duties of
the Optionee’s position or any other act or failure to act that is reasonably
determined by the Committee to constitute gross misconduct by the Optionee; and

(b) “Good Reason” means any of the following:

(i) Any material adverse change in the Optionee’s duties or reporting
responsibilities or any material reduction in the Optionee’s authority, provided
the Optionee specifically objects in writing to the change or reduction within
thirty (30) days after the change or reduction occurs and the Company does not
rescind the change or reduction within a further period of thirty (30) days; or

(ii) Any material failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to make a payment
due to the Optionee or to provide the Optionee with a benefit due to the
Optionee, but only if the failure is not cured in all material respects within
fifteen (15) days after the Company receives written notice of such failure.

1.5. Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.

 

(a) If the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated (x) by the
Company other than for Cause or (y) by the Optionee for Good Reason, then,
subject to Section 1.3, the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise this Option
to the same extent that it would have been exercisable on the effective date of
termination of the Optionee’s employment for a period of three (3) months
thereafter (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), unless the Board or
the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines that this Option
should be exercisable to some greater extent or remain exercisable for some
longer period (ending in no event later than the Expiration Date).

(b) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of subsection (a) of
this Section and Section 1.3, the provisions of Section 1.3 shall prevail over
and supersede the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section.

1.6. Disability. If the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated as
a result of Disability (as defined in the Plan), this Option shall not terminate
or be forfeited and the Optionee shall remain entitled to exercise this Option
to the same extent that it would have been exercisable on the date of
termination of the Optionee’s employment for a period of twelve (12) months
thereafter (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), unless the Board or
the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines that this Option
should be exercisable to some greater extent or remain exercisable for some
longer period (ending in no event later than the Expiration Date).

1.7. Death. In the event that the Optionee remains employed by the Company at
the time of the Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s personal representative or
other successor in interest shall be entitled to exercise this Option to the
same extent that it would have been exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s
death for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (but in no event later than
the Expiration Date), unless the Board or the Committee in its sole and absolute
discretion determines that this Option

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

should be exercisable to some greater extent or remain exercisable for some
longer period (ending in no event later than the Expiration Date).

1.8. “Employment” As used in this Option, “employment” by or with the Company
includes employment by or with any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF OPTION

2.1. In General. In the event the Optionee desires to exercise this Option with
respect to all or any portion of the Option Shares, the Optionee shall give
notice to the Company in substantially the form of Exhibit A (together with any
other representations, warranties, and undertakings that may otherwise be
required by the Company of the Optionee pursuant to the terms of this Option or
the Plan). Such notice shall state the number of Option Shares with respect to
which this Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment of the
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Option Shares with respect to which
this Option is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”).

2.2. Payment Options.  Unless otherwise permitted by the Board or the Committee,
payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by check
payable to the order of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
authorized by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion (either
generally in respect of all or a particular class or group of option awards
under the Plan or specifically in respect of this Option), payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price may also be made in whole or in part: (i) through the
retention by the Company of Option Shares that would otherwise be issued
pursuant to the exercise of this Option, (ii) by the delivery of shares of
Common Stock already owned by the Optionee with an aggregate Fair Market Value
(as defined below) equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price, or (iii) by any other
form of payment that is acceptable to the Board or the Committee, as the case
may be. If the Aggregate Exercise Price is paid in the manner described in
clause (i) above, the number of shares to be issued to the Optionee shall be
reduced by the product of (x) the total number of shares to be acquired
(determined without regard to clause (i)) times (y) the quotient of (a) the
Exercise Price divided by (b) the Fair Market Value, which reduction shall
constitute payment of the Exercise Price for the shares acquired pursuant to
clause (i).

2.3. Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to require as a condition
of delivery of the shares to be acquired upon exercise of this Option that the
Optionee remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal,
state, and other taxes or withholding requirements that may be imposed upon the
Company (“Tax Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the
Committee may in its sole discretion authorize payment or other satisfaction of
all or any portion of such Tax Obligations to be made in a manner similar to one
or more of the methods referenced in Section 2.2 with respect to payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price. Whether or not the Company requires the Optionee to
remit any such amounts, the Company shall have the right to withhold such
amounts from any compensation or other payments otherwise due to the Optionee.

2.4. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of
shares upon exercise of this Option. If any fractional interest in a share is
otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of this Option, the Company shall
purchase the fractional interest for an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market
Value of the fractional interest.

2.5. Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Option,
this Option shall not be exercisable in whole or in part, and no shares of
Common Stock shall be issuable by the Company in respect of any attempted
exercise, at any time when such exercise or issuance is prohibited by the
Company’s policies then in effect concerning transactions by officers,
directors, or employees in securities of the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.6. “Fair Market Value”.  

(a) For purposes of this SECTION 2, except as provided in subsection (b), “Fair
Market Value” means the last reported sales price of the Common Stock on any
national securities exchange or quotation system as of the day before the date
of exercise, or the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common
Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the day before the date of
exercise, or, if not reported by Nasdaq, the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as of the day before the date of exercise as determined in good
faith by the Board or the Committee. 

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), in the case of any exercise of this Option
in connection with or conditioned upon the consummation of a Change in Control
Transaction in which, or in connection with which, the Common Stock of the
Company generally is valued for purposes of its acquisition, conversion, or
exchange in such Change in Control Transaction, “Fair Market Value” for purposes
hereof shall be equal to the value established for the Common Stock in such
Change in Control Transaction, but in any event such valuation shall not be
effective unless and until the conditions to such Change in Control Transaction
and the implementation of such value for the Common Stock are satisfied. 

2.7. Issuance Taxes. The issuance of any stock certificates upon exercise of
this Option shall be made without charge to the exercising holder for any stamp
or similar tax imposed with respect thereto. The Company shall not, however, be
required to pay any such tax that may be payable on account of the issuance and
delivery of stock certificates in any name other than that of the registered
holder of this Option, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the
issue thereof have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 3. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; LEGENDS

3.1. Transfer Restrictions; Opinion of Counsel. Neither this Option nor all or
any part of the Optionee's rights hereunder may be pledged, hypothecated, sold,
assigned, transferred, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, either
voluntarily or by operation of law (whether by virtue of execution, attachment,
or similar process) (each of the foregoing a “Transfer”). No shares issued upon
the exercise of this Option may be Transferred, other than by will or by
operation of the laws of descent and distribution, unless the transferor first
delivers to the Company (if the Company so requests or if a legend appearing on
the certificate evidencing, or a similar restriction contained in the books of
account reflecting, shares of Common Stock to be so issued requires) an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company to the effect that
such Transfer is permitted under applicable federal and state securities laws.
Any purported Transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null
and void and without effect. 

3.2. Option Legends. This Option and each option issued in exchange for or upon
transfer of this Option shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of
this SECTION 3) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:

The securities represented by this Option have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state;
therefore, the transfer of this Option is subject to compliance with the
conditions specified herein, and no transfer of this Option shall be valid or
effective until such conditions have been fulfilled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON
EXERCISE

4.1. Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. In the event that (i) the authorized shares
of Common Stock are subdivided into a greater, or combined into a lesser, number
of shares of Common Stock (whether with or without par value) or (ii) the
Company issues additional Common Stock as a dividend:

(a) The Exercise Price shall be decreased or increased, as the case may be, to
an amount which bears the same relation to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately before such subdivision, combination, or dividend as the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such
subdivision, combination, or dividend bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such subdivision, combination, or
dividend; and

(b) The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option shall be
adjusted by multiplying the number of shares so issuable immediately before the
adjustment of the Exercise Price described in subsection (a) by the Exercise
Price immediately before such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by
the Exercise Price after such adjustment.

4.2. Reorganization Events. In case of any capital reorganization,
reclassification of the Common Stock, consolidation of the Company with, or the
merger of the Company into, any other corporation or entity as may be permitted
by law, or the sale of all or substantially all of the property and assets of
the Company to any other corporation or entity (each a “Reorganization Event”)
that affects the Common Stock in such a manner that an adjustment is necessary
or appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits
intended by this Option, the Committee (or any successor thereto) shall, in such
manner as it may deem equitable but subject otherwise to the terms of this
Option effective upon a Change in Control, adjust any or all of: (A) the number
and type of securities or other property that thereafter shall be the subject of
this Option and (B) the exercise price with respect to this Option, and after
such Reorganization Event this Option (or any replacement or substitution
therefor that is issued as a consequence of the Reorganization Event), as so
adjusted, shall remain outstanding and continue to vest and be and become
exercisable (but in no event beyond the Expiration Date) for shares of stock or
other securities or property of the Company, or of the corporation or entity
resulting from or surviving, or acquiring the assets of the Company pursuant to,
such Reorganization Event .The subdivision or combination of the authorized
shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock
(whether with or without par value) shall not be deemed a reclassification of
the Common Stock for the purposes of this Section 4.2.

4.3. Notice of Certain Actions. In addition to such other notices as may be
required of the Company under Section 1.3(b) in respect of a Change in Control,
if any date before the Expiration Date is fixed by the Company as the date as of
which holders of Common Stock (i) shall be entitled to receive any dividend or
any distribution upon the Common Stock of the Company other than a dividend
payable in cash or in Common Stock, (ii) shall be offered any subscription or
other rights, or (iii) shall be entitled to participate in any Reorganization
Event, the Company shall cause notice thereof (specifying such date) to be
mailed to the registered holder of this Option at such holder’s address
appearing on the books of the Company at least fifteen (15) days before the date
as of which such holders of Common Stock are to be determined.

4.4. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number or shares
issuable upon exercise of this Option is adjusted as required by the provisions
of this SECTION 4 and such adjustment is not otherwise publicly announced, the
Company shall endeavor to promptly mail a notice setting forth the adjusted
Exercise Price and the adjusted number of shares for which this Option is

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

exercisable to the registered holder of this Option at such holder’s last
address as it appears on the books of the Company, but failure to give or
receive such notice, or any defects therein or in the mailing thereof, shall not
affect such adjustments.

4.5. Reservation of Sufficient Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock and for the
purpose of effecting the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Option
such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be sufficient for such purpose. If at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the issuance of
shares upon the exercise of this Option at the Exercise Price then in effect,
the Company shall take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be reasonably necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for this
purpose.

4.6. Exercise Price Not Less Than Par Value. As a condition precedent to the
taking of any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the then-prevailing
Exercise Price below the then-par value, if any, per share of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Option, the Company shall take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonably necessary in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue its Common Stock at the adjusted
Exercise Price upon any subsequent exercise of this Option.

4.7. Registration and Approval.

 

(a) If any shares of the Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for the purpose
of issuance upon the exercise of this Option require registration with or
approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before
such shares may be validly issued upon exercise of this Option, then the Company
covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as reasonably possible
endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be; provided,
however, that this provision shall not require the Company (i) to actually
secure such registration or approval (but merely to endeavor in good faith and
as expeditiously as reasonably possible to do so) or (ii) to endeavor to secure
such registration or approval in order (x) to issue shares upon exercise of this
Option if such shares can lawfully be issued pursuant to one or more exemptions
from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws (whether or
not as a consequence thereof such shares constitute “restricted securities” or
the holder of such shares is unable to transfer such shares absent registration
or the availability of a suitable exemption from registration under such laws)
or (y) to enable any person to sell or distribute shares received upon exercise
of this Option in a transaction involving a public offering within the meaning
of the Securities Act as then in effect.

(b) In the event that shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Option
are not to be issued pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the
Securities Act, or if such shares otherwise are or would be restricted
securities in the hands of the Optionee upon issuance, then the Company may
require, as a condition to exercise by the Optionee of this Option, such
representations and undertakings on the part of the Optionee as may be
reasonably required by the Company to allow for such issuance without violation
of, and to assure continued compliance by the Optionee following such issuance
with, applicable law, and the certificate(s) evidencing such shares, or the
books of account reflecting such shares, may bear or be marked with an
appropriate legend as to any applicable restrictions on transfer, or similar
restrictions, as may be so required.

4.8. Shares Fully Paid and Nonassessable. The Company covenants that all shares
issued upon exercise of this Option will upon issuance be fully paid and
nonassessable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Company for any purpose until the shares issuable upon exercise of this

Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any 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, or shares of capital stock with a preference ahead
of, or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or rights
thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer
of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

5.7. Incorporation of Recitals and Exhibits. The recitals to this Option and any
