 This NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of February 6, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is between ACME PACKET, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
Andrew Ory (the “Optionee”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Plan”). 
 1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Plan,
the Company grants to the Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase from the Company all or any number of an aggregate of 2,865 shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan (the “Option
Shares”), of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value per share, at a price of $34.29 per share. The Option is granted as of February 6, 2012 (the “Grant Date”). 

2. Character of Option. The Option is not intended to be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 3.
Duration of Option. Unless subject to earlier expiration or termination pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Option shall expire on the seven year anniversary of the Grant Date. 

4. Exercise of Option. 
 (a) Vesting Schedule. The Option may be exercised, at any time and from time to time until its expiration or termination, for any or all of those Option Shares in respect of which the Option
shall have become exercisable, in accordance with the provisions set forth below in this Section 4, on or at any time prior to the date of any such exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, the provisions
of Section 7.1(e) of the Plan), the Option shall become exercisable for 100% of the Option Shares on February 6, 2013 (the “Vesting Date”). Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a), (A) the exercisability of the Option shall, as provided in Section 4(b) below, be automatically Accelerated under certain circumstances and (B) the exercisability of the Option may, as
provided in Section 7.1(d) of the Plan, at any time be Accelerated in the discretion of the Committee. 
 (b)
Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4(a) above to the contrary but subject to the provisions of Section 4(c) below, in the event that (A) a Change of Control occurs prior to the time that the
Option is exercisable in full for all of the Option Shares, (B) the Optionee is an employee of the Company immediately prior to 

 
such Change of Control, and (C) (i) the Optionee suffers any material adverse change in authorities, duties or responsibilities, (ii) the Optionee voluntarily terminates his
employment with the Company following any relocation of the Optionee (without his written consent) by the Company to a location that increases Optionee’s commute prior to such relocation by more than fifty (50) miles or (iii) the
Company terminates the Optionee’s employment with the Company for any reason or no reason (other than Cause, as such term is defined in Section 4(d) below), in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) at any
time within 365 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, then the exercisability of the Option shall be automatically Accelerated such that the Option shall become exercisable for an additional number of Option Shares equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the then Unvested Option Shares (as defined below in Section 4(d) below). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall be implemented ratably across all Unvested Option Shares that are subject to the
Option immediately prior automatic Acceleration pursuant to this Section 4(b) regardless of when the Option would have otherwise become exercisable for such Unvested Option Shares pursuant to Section 4(a) above. Notwithstanding anything
express or implied to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b), the Option may, as provided in Section 7.1(d) of the Plan, at any time be further accelerated at the discretion of the Committee. 

(c) Continuation of Employment by Successor. If the Optionee is an employee of the Company immediately prior to a Change of
Control, then employment of the Optionee following such Change of Control by any person or entity that is the successor or acquiror of the Company as a result of such Change of Control or that is the parent company or affiliate of such successor or
acquiror (in either case, the “Successor Employer”) shall be treated under this Agreement as if the Optionee continued to be employed by the Company, and in such context any reference in this Agreement to the Company shall be
deemed to be a reference to the Successor Employer. 
 (d) Definitions. 

“Cause” shall mean (i) if the Optionee is convicted of, or pleads guilty or no contest to, a felony or any crime
involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud; (ii) any act of embezzlement, theft, sexual harassment, discrimination, fraud or other acts of a criminal nature by the Optionee in his dealings with the Company or its employees or
representatives, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company; (iii) the breach by the Optionee of any material term of an agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including covenants not to compete and provisions
relating to confidential information and intellectual property rights; or (iv) any failure by the Optionee to comply with a specific directive given by the Company’s executive officers or Board of Directors which failure has not been cured
within 30 days after written notice from the Company. 
 “Unvested Option Shares” shall mean, at
the relevant time of reference thereto, those Option Shares for which the Option has not yet become exercisable at such time pursuant to Section 4(a) and without giving effect to the provisions of Section 4(b) above.

 5. Transfer of Option. Other than as expressly permitted by the
provisions of Section 7.1(f) of the Plan, the Option may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Optionee, may be exercised only by the Optionee. 

6. Incorporation of Plan Terms. The Option is granted subject to all of the applicable terms and provisions
of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the limitations on the Company’s obligation to deliver Option Shares upon exercise set forth in Section 9.1 (Violation of Law), Section 9.2 (Corporate Restrictions on Rights in Stock),
Section 9.3 (Investment Representations) and Section 9.7 (Tax Withholding). 
 7. Miscellaneous. This Agreement

trustee, guardian, or other legal representative of the Optionee.
