such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering
Period to be affected thereafter.

     5. Participation.
        -------------

        (a) First Offering Period. An Employee who has become a participant in
            ---------------------
the first Offering Period under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be
entitled to continue his or her participation in such Offering Period only if he
or she submits to the Company's payroll office (or its designee) a properly
completed subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form
provided by the Administrator for such purpose (i) no earlier than the effective
date of the filing of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 with
respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan (the "Effective
Date") and (ii) no later than five (5) business days from the Effective Date

date prescribed by the Administrator prior to an applicable Enrollment Date, a
properly completed subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the
form provided by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an
electronic or other enrollment procedure prescribed by the Administrator.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

     6. Payroll Deductions.
        ------------------

        (a) At the time a participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5,
he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the
Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 10% of the Compensation which he or
she receives on each such payday.

        (b) Payroll deductions authorized by a participant shall commence on the
first payday following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payday in
the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10; provided, however, that
for the first Offering Period under the Plan, payroll deductions shall commence
on the first payday on or following the end of the Enrollment Window.

        (c) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to
his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole percentages
only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

        (d) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan
as provided in Section 10, or may change the rate of his or her payroll
deductions during the Offering Period by (i) properly completing and submitting
to the Company's payroll office (or its designee), on or before a date
prescribed by the Administrator prior to an applicable Exercise Date, a new
subscription agreement authorizing the change in payroll deduction rate in the
form provided by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an
electronic or other procedure prescribed by the Administrator. If a participant
has not followed such procedures to change the rate of payroll deductions, the
rate of his or her payroll deductions shall continue at the originally elected
rate throughout the Offering Period and future Offering Periods (unless
terminated as provided in Section 10). The Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, limit the nature and/or number of payroll deduction rate changes
that may be made by participants during any Offering Period. Any change in
payroll deduction rate made pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall be effective as
of the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the date
on which the change is made by the participant (unless the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, elects to process a given change in payroll deduction rate more
quickly).

        (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c), a participant's payroll
deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during an Offering
Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate originally elected by
the participant effective as of the beginning of the first Offering Period which
is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the
participant as provided in Section 10.

        (f) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the
time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed
of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's federal,
state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the
exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or
benefits attributable to the sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the
Employee.

     7. Grant of Option. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each
        ---------------
Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to
purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable
Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing
such participant's payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date
and retained in the participant's account as of the Exercise Date by the
applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall a participant be
permitted to purchase during the first Offering Period under the Plan more than
1,125 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19)
and during each subsequent Offering Period under the Plan more than 750 shares
of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19), and provided
further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 3(c) and 13. The Employee may accept the grant of such option (i) with
respect to the first Offering Period under the Plan, by submitting a properly
completed subscription agreement in accordance with the requirements of Section
5(a) on or before the last day of the Enrollment Window, and (ii) with respect
to any future Offering Period under the Plan, by electing to participate in the
Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 5(b). The Administrator may,
for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion,
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a participant may purchase
during each Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in
Section 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The
option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

     8. Exercise of Option.
        ------------------

        (a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section
10, his or her option for the purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be
exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full
shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the
applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her
account. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be purchased; any payroll
deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to
purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant's account for the
subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as
provided in Section 10. Any other monies left over in a participant's account
after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a
participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is
exercisable only by him or her.

        (b) Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, if the Administrator
determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock
with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the
Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the
Administrator may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make
a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on
such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as
shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be
equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on
such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y)
provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of
Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable
and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all
participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date,
and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20.
The Company may make pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available
on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the
preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares of
Common Stock for issuance under the Plan by the Company's shareholders
subsequent to such Enrollment Date.

     9. Delivery. As soon as administratively practicable after each Exercise
        --------
Date on which a purchase of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company shall
arrange the delivery to each participant, as appropriate, the shares purchased
upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Administrator (in
its sole discretion). No participant shall have any voting, dividend, or other
shareholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any option
granted under the Plan until such shares have been purchased and delivered to
the participant as provided in this Section 9.

     10. Withdrawal.
         ----------

        (a) Under procedures established by the Administrator, a participant may
withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her
account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any
time by (i) submitting to the Company's payroll office (or its designee) a
written notice of withdrawal in the form prescribed by the Administrator for
such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal procedure
prescribed by the Administrator. All of the participant's payroll deductions
credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant as promptly as
practicable after the effective date of his or her withdrawal and such
participant's option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated,
and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for
such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period,
payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering
Period unless the participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.

        (b) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have
any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which
may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which
commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant
withdraws.

     11. Termination of Employment. In the event a participant ceases to be an
         -------------------------
Employee of an Employer, his or her option shall remain exercisable for a period
of three (3) months from the date of such Employee's termination. Upon the
expiration of such three (3) month period or a date prior to the expiration of
such three (3) month period if requested by the participant, any payroll
deductions credited to such participant's account during the Offering Period but
not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be returned
to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or
persons entitled thereto under Section 15, and such participant's option shall
be automatically terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a
participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment
shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee for the participant's customary
number of hours per week of employment during the period in which the
participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice.

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

     12. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
         --------
participant in the Plan.

     13. Stock.
         -----

        (a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company
as provided in Section 19, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which
shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 500,000 shares plus an
annual increase to be added on the first day of the Company's fiscal year
beginning in fiscal year 2003, equal to the lesser of (i) 750,000 shares, (ii)
2% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) an amount determined by the
Board.

        (b) Shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a participant under the
Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.

     14. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
         --------------
committee of members of the Board who shall be appointed from time to time by,
and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board. The Administrator shall have full
and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms
of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims
filed under the Plan. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and on such
terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate to one or more individuals
all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan. Every finding,
decision and determination made by the Administrator (or its designee) shall, to
the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

     15. Designation of Beneficiary.
         --------------------------

        (a) A participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any
shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, from the participant's account under
the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to an Exercise Date
on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of
such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may designate a beneficiary who
is to receive any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the
event of such participant's death prior to exercise of the option. If a
participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal
consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

        (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
any time. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a
beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such
participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the
executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such
executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company),
the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the
spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if
no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other
person as the Company may designate.

        (c) All beneficiary designations under this Section 15 shall be made in
such form and manner as the Administrator may prescribe from time to time.

     16. Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's
         ---------------
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive
shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15) by the
participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other
disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act
as an election to withdraw from an Offering Period in accordance with Section
10.

     17. Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company
         ------------
under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the
Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. Until
shares of Common Stock are issued under the Plan (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company), a participant shall only have the rights of an unsecured
creditor with respect to such shares.

     18. Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant
         -------
in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating Employees at
least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll
deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased
and the remaining cash balance, if any.

     19. Adjustments, Dissolution, Liquidation or Change of Control.
         ----------------------------------------------------------

        (a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution
            -----------
(whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange
of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the
corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock such that an
adjustment is determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) to be
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the
Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number
and class of Common Stock which may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase
Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option
under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of
Sections 7 and 13.

        (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution
            --------------------------
or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress shall be
shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"), and shall
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or
liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board. The New Exercise Date shall
be before the date of the Company's proposed dissolution or liquidation. The
Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days
prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's
option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's
option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior
to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided
in Section 10.

        (c) Merger or Change of Control. In the event of a merger or Change of
            ---------------------------
Control, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the
successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to
assume or substitute for the option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall
be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date") and any
Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New
Exercise Date shall be before the

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

date of the Company's proposed merger or Change of Control. The Board shall
notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the
New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be
exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10.

     20. Amendment or Termination.
         ------------------------

        (a) The Administrator may at any time and for any reason terminate or
amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19, no such termination can affect
options previously granted under the Plan, provided that an Offering Period may
be terminated by the Administrator on any Exercise Date if the Administrator
determines that the termination of the Plan is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 19 and this Section
20, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which
adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to
comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any
other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall
obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

        (b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Administrator shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the
frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock
for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable which are
consistent with the Plan.

        (c) In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation
of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the
Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify
or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including,
but not limited to:

          (i) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an
Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

          (ii) shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period ends on a
new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the
Board action; and

          (iii) allocating shares.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the
consent of any Plan participants.

     21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the
         -------
Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received in the form

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the
Company for the receipt thereof.

     22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares of Common Stock shall not be
         ----------------------------------
issued with respect to an option under the Plan unless the exercise of such
option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall
comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including,
without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Exchange Act and the requirements of
any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may
require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time
of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

     23. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur
         ------------
of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company.
It shall continue in effect until terminated under Section 20.

                                                       Offering Date:
                                                                     -----------

      Change in Payroll Deduction Rate

      Change of Beneficiary(ies)
-----

1.                        hereby elects to participate in the Altiris, Inc. 2002
     --------------------
     Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") and subscribes to purchase shares
     of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with this Subscription
     Agreement and the Plan.

2.   I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of
         % of my Compensation on each payday (from 0 to 10%) during the Offering
     ----
     Period in accordance with the Plan. (Please note that no fractional
     percentages are permitted.)

3.   I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
     purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
     determined in accordance with the Plan. I understand that if I do not
     withdraw from an Offering Period, any accumulated payroll deductions will
     be used to automatically exercise my option.

4.   I have received a copy of the complete Plan. I understand that my
     participation in the Plan is in all respects subject to the terms of the
     Plan. I understand that my ability to exercise the option under this
     Subscription Agreement is subject to shareholder approval of the Plan.

5.   Shares of Common Stock purchased for me under the Plan should be issued in
     the name(s) of Employee or Employee and Spouse only.

6.   I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to the
     Plan within 2 years after the Offering Date (the first day of the Offering
     Period during which I purchased such shares) or one year after the Exercise
     Date, I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received
     ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the
     excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time such shares were
     purchased by me over the price which I paid for the shares. I hereby agree
                                                                 --------------
     to notify the Company in writing within 30 days after the date of any
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------
     disposition of my shares and I will make adequate provision for Federal,
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     disposition of the Common Stock. The Company may, but will not be obligated
     -------------------------------
     to, withhold from my compensation the amount necessary to meet any
     applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary to
     make available to the Company any tax deductions or

<PAGE>

     benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by me.
     If I dispose of such shares at any time after the expiration of the 2-year
     and 1-year holding periods, I understand that I will be treated for federal
     income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of such
     disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to
     the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair
     market value of the shares at the time of such disposition over the
     purchase price which I paid for the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market
     value of the shares on the first day of the Offering Period. The remainder
     of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be taxed as
     capital gain.

7.   I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Plan. The effectiveness of
     this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon my eligibility to participate
     in the Plan.

8.   In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
     beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and/or shares due me under the
     Plan:
