 Dear Mark, 
 We are delighted to offer you the
position of Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer at Symantec Corporation, Mountain View, reporting to Thomas Seifert. You are joining a talented and passionate team driven to protect the world’s information and the people who use it.
We do work that matters and we are confident you will find rewarding opportunities with us. 
 Start Date 

When your first day of employment is determined, please contact Bettina Koblick. 

Salary 
 Your starting annual base salary will be
$350,000.00. 
 Symantec Annual Executive Incentive Plan 

Based on your position, you will participate in the Symantec Annual Executive Incentive Plan, an incentive program that rewards achievement of Symantec
Corporation’s financial objectives as well as your individual performance. At 100% of company and individual performance, you will be eligible to receive an additional 60% of your annual base salary, prorated based on your date of hire. To
receive the bonus, you must satisfy the requirement of the Symantec Annual Executive Incentive Plan. Details of the Plan will be available to you once you begin your employment. 

Sign-On Bonus 
 In addition to your salary, you will
receive a sign-on bonus in the amount of $150,000.00 (less withholding allowances), which will be advanced to you following your initial 30 days of employment. In the event you voluntarily resign (or we terminate your employment for cause, which
includes poor performance) before one year from your start date, you agree to repay this bonus. To help repay it, you authorize Symantec to withhold the bonus amount from your final pay and from other money that may be due to you. Examples could
include final wages, accrued but unused paid time off benefits, expense reimbursements or unpaid commissions. If required by applicable law, you agree to sign a separate authorization for such deductions. If you still owe us any portion of the
advance after deductions, or if no deductions were taken, you agree to pay Symantec the outstanding amount within 30 days of your last day of employment.

 You also agree that, if you do not repay, and we must take legal action to recover all or any portion of the advance from
you, you could also be responsible for reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of suit and any collection expenses. 
 Equity Grants 

You will be granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) of Symantec common stock valued at $400,000.00 at the time of grant. The grant occurs after your hire date,
and the number of RSUs to be granted will be calculated based on the 20-day trailing average of the value of Symantec’s stock as of the end of the month prior to the grant date. This RSU grant has a 4-year vesting schedule with 50% of the
shares vesting on a designated vest date approximately 2 years from the grant date. The remainder will vest annually at a 25% rate on designated annual vest dates. Details regarding your RSU grant date, pricing and vesting schedule will be provided
at the time you receive your grant. 
 In addition, we have determined a long-term incentive target in the amount of $1,000,000.00 for your position to be
granted in fiscal 2015. Of the total value, we anticipate $500,000 will be granted in the form of Performance-based Restricted Stock Units under the terms of the plan to be approved for all executives for fiscal 2015 and $500,000 will be granted in
the form of time-vested Restricted Stock Units with 4-year vesting. We expect both of these grants will be made to you in 2014 at the beginning of Symantec’s fiscal 2015 at the time of our annual executive grant under the terms of the
company’s existing plans.

Symantec will provide you with relocation assistance. Review the attached Relocation Agreement and sign to confirm your acceptance. Please return it
