Exhibit 10.5

BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC.

CHANGE OF CONTROL RETENTION AGREEMENT

     This Change of Control Retention Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 1, 2005
(the “Effective Date”) by and between Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) and Ian
Whiting (“Executive”).

RECITALS

     A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of a Change
of Control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration
can be a distraction to the Executive and can cause the Executive to consider alternative
employment opportunities.

     B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to
provide the Executive with an incentive to continue his or her employment and to maximize the value
of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its shareholders.

     C. In order to provide the Executive with enhanced financial security and sufficient
encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control,
the Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Executive with certain severance benefits
upon the Executive’s termination of employment.

AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and the continued employment of
Executive by the Company, the parties agree as follows:

     1. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment
with the Company is and shall continue to be “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company
acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to
the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the
Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to
severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment.

     2. Severance Benefits.

          (a) Termination of Employment. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates for any reason, Executive will be entitled to any (i) unpaid Base Salary accrued up to
the effective date of termination, (ii) unpaid, but earned and accrued annual incentive for any
completed fiscal year as of his termination of employment, (iii) benefits or compensation as
provided under the terms of any employee benefit and compensation agreements or plans applicable to
Executive, and (iv) unreimbursed business expenses required to reimbursed to Executive.

 

 

          (b) Termination Without Cause not in Connection with a Change of Control. If
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause and such termination does not
occur in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 3, Executive will receive:
(i) six (6) months of Executive’s base salary, as in effect immediately prior to the date of
termination, payable in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of the Release Effective Date,
(ii) 50% of Executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive’s termination occurs,
payable in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of the Release Effective Date, and (iii)
reimbursement for premiums paid for medical, dental and vision benefits (the “COBRA Benefits”) for
Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s benefit plans for six (6) months
following Executive’s termination of employment, payable when such premiums are due (provided
Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents validly elect to continue coverage under applicable
law). Notwithstanding the previous sentence but subject to Section 3, Executive’s cash severance
payments (other than the payments with respect to the COBRA Benefits) will accrue during the first
six (6) months after Executive’s termination and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the
date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination; provided, that
such cash severance payments will be paid earlier, subject to Section 3, if Internal Revenue
Service guidance provides that the imposition of additional tax under Internal Revenue Code Section
409A will not apply to an earlier payment of Executive’s cash severance payments, as reasonably
determined by the Company.

          (c) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change
of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by
Executive for Good Reason, and the termination is in Connection with a Change of Control, then,
subject to Section 3, Executive will receive: (i) twelve (12) months of Executive’s base salary, as
in effect immediately prior to the date of termination, payable in a lump sum payment within thirty
(30) days of the Release Effective Date, (ii) 100% of Executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year
in which Executive’s termination occurs, payable in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of
the Release Effective Date, (iii) reimbursement for premiums paid for COBRA Benefits for Executive
and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s benefit plans for twelve (12) months
following Executive’s termination of employment, payable when such premiums are due (provided
Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents validly elect to continue coverage under applicable
law), and (iv) full accelerated vesting with respect to Executive’s then outstanding, unvested
stock options granted on or prior to April 30, 2005 and those stock options granted to Executive as
a result of his promotion to the position of Vice President, Worldwide Sales. Notwithstanding the
previous sentence but subject to Section 3, Executive’s cash severance payments (other than the
payments with respect to the COBRA Benefits) will accrue during the first six (6) months after
Executive’s termination and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the date six (6) months
and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination; provided, that such cash severance
payments will be paid earlier, subject to Section 3, if Internal Revenue Service guidance provides
that the imposition of additional tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A will not apply to an
earlier payment of Executive’s cash severance payments, as reasonably determined by the Company.

          (d) Voluntary Termination without Good Reason; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s
employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is
terminated for Cause by the Company, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity
awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive
hereunder will terminate immediately, and (iii) Executive will be eligible for
severance benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then established plans, programs, and
practices.

-2-

 

          (e) Termination due to Death or Disability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, if Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability, then (i)
Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the applicable award agreement(s); (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive
hereunder will terminate immediately, and (iii) Executive will be entitled to receive benefits only
in accordance with the Company’s then established plans, programs, and practices.

          (f) Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole
entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of Executive’s
employment. To the extent Executive is entitled to receive severance or similar payments and/or
benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like, severance
payments and benefits due to Executive under this Agreement will be so reduced.

     3. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.

          (a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant
to Section 2 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and
release of claims in the form provided to Executive by the Company. No severance will be paid or
provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective (the “Release
Effective Date”).

          (b) Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and for 12 months thereafter,
Executive will not knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements
regarding the Company, its directors, or its officers. The foregoing restrictions will not apply
to any statements that are made truthfully in response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal
process.

          (c) Other Requirements. Executive agrees to continue to comply with the terms of the
Company’s Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement
entered into by Executive (the “Confidential Information Agreement”).

          (d) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any

or reasonable expectation that such may result in substantial personal enrichment of Executive;
