 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender that has executed and delivered a consent to this Amendment No. 2 substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a
“Consent”, each such Term Loan Lender, a “Continuing Term Loan Lender”) shall be deemed, upon the effectiveness of this Amendment No. 2, to have converted all of its outstanding Term Loans immediately prior to

for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall the Lenders owe any amounts to the
Borrower), and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder.”

 JOINDER AGREEMENT, dated as of June

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) and Bank of America, N.A.(the “Administrative Agent”). 
 RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement,
dated as of October 7, 2008, as amended as of January 8, 2010 and amended by Amendment No. 2 dated as of June [    ], 2011 (as further amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Lenders party hereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer; 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may establish Additional Term Loan Commitments with
existing Term Loan Lenders and/or Additional Term Loan Lenders; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement, Additional Term Loan Lenders shall become Lenders pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements; 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Each Additional Term Loan Lender hereby agrees to provide the Additional Term Loan Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.02(a) of Amendment
No. 2. The Additional Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms in the Credit Agreement and to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, and shall be entitled to all the benefits
afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. 

Each Additional Term Loan Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the Additional Term Loan
Commitments provided pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute Additional Term Loan Commitments for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents. Each Additional Term Loan Lender hereby agrees to make a Replacement
Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Additional Term Loan Commitment on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date in accordance with Section 1.02(a) of Amendment No. 2. 

 Each Additional Term Loan Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Amendment No. 2 Arranger or any other Additional Term Loan Lender or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 

Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by each Additional Term Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower and (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of telecopy or other electronic transmission) hereof, each of the undersigned Additional Term Loan Lenders shall become Lenders under
the Credit Agreement and shall have the respective Additional Term Loan Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto, effective as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. 

For each Additional Term Loan Lender, delivered herewith to the Administrative Agent are such forms, certificates or other evidence with
respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such Additional Term Loan Lender may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of
each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is a “Loan Document.” 
 This Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with
respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Any term or provision of this Agreement
which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement
or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad
as would be enforceable.

 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.
