MANTECH INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION ------------------------------------------- Optionee Signature By ---------------------- Title: Address (please print): ---------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- MANTECH INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Options granted under the Management Incentive Plan of ManTech International Corporation (the "Plan"), which are identified as non-qualified stock options and are evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions. 1. TERMS OF OPTION MANTECH INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("ManTech"), has granted to the Optionee named in the Term Sheet provided to said Optionee herewith (the "Term Sheet") a non-qualified stock option (the "Option") to purchase up to the number of shares of ManTech's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), set forth in the Term Sheet, at the purchase price per share and upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions (as amended from time to time), and the Plan. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, any reference to ManTech shall include a reference to any Subsidiary. 2. NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION The Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and will be interpreted accordingly. 3. EXERCISE OF OPTION The Option shall not be exercisable as of the Grant Date set forth in the Term Sheet. After the Grant Date, to the extent not previously exercised, and subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Option shall be exercisable to the extent it becomes vested, as described in the Term Sheet, to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Term Sheet provided that (except as set forth in Section 4.C below) Optionee remains employed with ManTech and does not experience a termination of employment. The vesting period and/or exercisability of an Option may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect the decreased level of employment during any period in which the Optionee is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, provided that the Committee may take into consideration any accounting consequences to ManTech in making any such adjustment. To exercise the Option (or any part thereof), Optionee shall deliver to ManTech a "Notice of Exercise" on a form specified by the Committee, specifying the number of whole shares of Common Stock Optionee wishes to purchase and how Optionee's shares of Common Stock should be registered (in Optionee's name only or in Optionee's and Optionee's spouse's names as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship). The exercise price (the "Exercise Price") of the Option is set forth in the Term Sheet. ManTech shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock until Optionee shall have paid the total Exercise Price for that number of shares of Common Stock. The Exercise Price may be paid in cash or by certified or cashiers' check. In addition, the Committee may permit the Exercise Price to be paid: A. by payment under an arrangement with a broker where payment is made pursuant to an irrevocable commitment by a broker to deliver in the future all or part of the proceeds from the sale of the Option shares to ManTech, B. by tendering (either physically or by attestation) shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee and having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price but only if such will not result in an accounting charge to ManTech, or C. by any combination of the foregoing or in such other form(s) of consideration as the Committee (as defined in the Plan) in its discretion shall specify. Fractional shares may not be exercised. Shares of Common Stock will be issued as soon as practical after exercise. Notwithstanding the above, ManTech shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock during any period when ManTech determines that the exercisability of the Option or the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any federal, state or other applicable laws. 4. EXPIRATION OF OPTION Except as provided in this Section 4, the Option shall expire and cease to be exercisable as of the Expiration Date set forth in the Term Sheet. A. Upon the date of a termination of the Optionee's employment as a result of the death or disability of the Optionee, the Option shall become fully exercisable, and shall be exercisable by the Optionee's estate, heir or beneficiary for a period commencing on the date of termination of the Optionee's employment and expiring upon the earlier of twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Optionee's employment or the Expiration Date of the Option. B. Upon the date of a termination of the Optionee's employment with ManTech for any reason other than the death or disability of the Optionee, and except as otherwise provided under paragraph (C) of this Section 4, (i) any part of the Option that is unexercisable as of such termination date shall remain unexercisable and shall terminate as of such date, and (ii) any part of the Option that is exercisable as of such termination date shall expire the earlier of ninety (90) days following such date or the Expiration Date of the Option or, if the 2 Optionee's employment with ManTech was terminated by ManTech for Cause (as defined in Section 12 hereof) the earlier of five (5) days following such date or the Expiration Date of the Option. C. In the event Optionee is serving as a director, upon the date of termination of the Optionee's service as a director for any reason other than the death or disability, the Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee for a period commencing on the date of termination of the Optionee's service as a director and expiring on the earlier of twelve (12) months following the date of termination of Optionee's service as a director and the Expiration Date of the Option. 5. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF OPTION SHARES ManTech may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Optionee or other subsequent transfers by the Optionee of any shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the exercise of the Option, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Optionee and other optionholders and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers. 6. INCOME TAXES To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Optionee shall make arrangements satisfactory to ManTech for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an Option exercise or disposition of shares issued as a result of an Option exercise. ManTech shall not be required to issue shares or to recognize the disposition of such shares until such obligations are satisfied. 7. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Optionee may not assign or transfer the Option to anyone other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime. ManTech may cancel the Optionee's Option if the Optionee attempts to assign or transfer it in a manner inconsistent with this Section 7. 8. THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS In addition to these Terms and Conditions, the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference. Certain capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan. The Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Optionee and ManTech regarding the Option.

LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION Neither the Optionee (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through the Optionee shall have any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Term Sheet or these Standard Terms and Conditions except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, as shall have been issued to such person upon exercise of the Option or any part of it. Nothing in the Plan, in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in ManTech's employ or service nor limit in any way ManTech's right to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time for any reason. 10.
