AMENDMENT TO OPTION AGREEMENT







This agreement of amendment (this “Amendment”) is made as of November 3, 2006, by and between Citadel Security Software Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Citadel”), and the undersigned option holder (the “Optionee”).







WHEREAS, Citadel and Optionee have entered into that certain Stock Option Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2002, providing for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of the common stock of Citadel, and that certain Stock Option Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2002, providing for the issuance of up to 275,000 shares of the common stock of Citadel (collectively, the “Stock Option Agreement”);







WHEREAS, Citadel, and certain of its subsidiaries, have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2006, with McAfee, Inc. and McAfee Security LLC (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”);







WHEREAS, conditioned upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, Citadel has implemented a “cash-out plan” to cash-out options subject to its 2002 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to the resolution of its board of directors (such that any holder of stock options outstanding at the closing of a change of control may receive a payment equal to the difference between the price received by stockholders in the change of control and the exercise price of such holder’s stock option (the “Cash-Out Plan”).  Citadel intends to implement the Cash-Out Plan in connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the subsequent distributions to its stockholders.  As a result, holders of options that remain unexercised on the record date of our initial anticipated liquidating distribution, will receive from Citadel, at the same time liquidating distributions are made to holders of its common stock, cash payments equal to the product of the total number of shares that were subject to such option immediately prior to the closing of the asset sale, and the amount per share then being distributed in respect of its common stock.  However, these cash payments will be paid only to the extent, if any, per share liquidating distributions in respect of its common stock exceed the per share exercise price of such option; and







WHEREAS, each of Citadel and the Optionee now desire to amend the Stock Option Agreement to permit the options that may be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement the “Options”), although not subject to Citadel’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, to be included within the Cash-Out Plan;







NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Citadel and the Optionee hereby agree as follows:







1.             Amendment of the Stock Option Agreement.  The Stock Option Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the Options may be included in the Cash-Out Plan.







2.             No Other Changes.  Except as amended by this Amendment, the Stock Option Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.






  





 











  













IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.
