 NETGEAR, INC. 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is entered into as of March 31, 2011, (the “Effective Date”) by and between NETGEAR,
Inc. (the “Company”), and David Soares (“Executive”). 
 1. Duties
and Scope of Employment. 
 (a) Positions and Duties. As of the Effective Date, Executive is serving as General
Manager and Senior Vice President, Retail Business of the Company. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as shall reasonably be
assigned to him by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and/or Board of Directors (the “Board”). The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment
Term.” 
 (b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will perform his duties faithfully and to
the best of his ability and will devote his full business efforts and time to the Company. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or
indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board. 
 2. At-Will Employment. The parties agree that
Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or without cause or notice. Executive understands and agrees that neither his job performance nor promotions, commendations,
bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment with the Company. 

3. Compensation. 
 (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at the annualized rate of Two Hundred Ninety Six Thousand Four Hundred
Eighty Two Dollars ($296,482) (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding.
Executive’s salary will be reviewed by the Company from time to time (but no more frequently than annually), and may be subject to adjustment based upon various factors including, but not limited to, Executive’s performance and the
Company’s profitability. Any adjustment to Executive’s salary shall be in the sole discretion of the Company. 
 (b)
MBO Bonus. Executive will be eligible to receive an annual target bonus of up to Fifty percent (50%) per year based upon the Company’s achievement of various financial and/or other goals established by the Board. All MBO bonuses
will be subject to applicable 

 
withholding and taxes. Executive’s annual bonus will be paid no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which Executive’s annual bonus was earned. 

(c) Equity Awards. Executive has been and in the future may be granted (i) options to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) (the “Options”); and (ii) awards of restricted stock units, each unit representing the right to receive a
share of Company common stock on the date it becomes vested (the “RSU Awards”). The Options will be subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the 2006 Plan and the stock option agreement(s) by and between Executive
and the Company (the “Option Agreement(s)”), which are incorporated herein by reference. The RSU Awards will be subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the 2006 Plan and the RSU Award grant agreement(s) between
Executive and the Company (the “RSU Agreement(s)”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Executive shall also be subject to the Company’s Director and Officer stock ownership guidelines, which is also incorporated
by reference hereto.

the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s group medical, dental, vision, and disability plans.
The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time. 
 5.
Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with
the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. 
 6. Severance. 

(a) Involuntary Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates other than voluntarily, or for death,
disability or for “Cause” (as defined in Paragraph 9 of this Agreement), and Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims (as described further in Section 6(b) below) with the Company, then Executive shall be
entitled to receive severance payments at Executive’s final base salary rate, less applicable withholding, until twenty-six (26) weeks after the date of termination without Cause. Severance payments will be made in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll procedures. During the period in which Executive is receiving severance payments, Company will reimburse Executive and his family for COBRA premiums, assuming Executive remains eligible during the entire Severance
Period. In addition, if Executive’s employment terminates other than voluntarily or for “Cause” (as defined herein), Executive will be entitled to continue to have all stock options, restricted stock awards and all other equity awards
vest during the twelve month period immediately following the date of such termination. 
 (b) Timing of Release. The
receipt of any severance benefits pursuant to Section 6(a) will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a standard release of claims agreement (the “Release”), and provided that such Release is effective within
sixty (60) days following the termination of employment or such earlier period as required by the Release. To become effective, 

 
the Release must be executed by the Executive and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise) must have expired without the Executive having revoked the Release. In
addition, no severance will be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective. 
 7. Voluntary Termination;
Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive or for Cause by the Company, then all vesting of Options, RSU Awards, and all other options and restricted stock awards granted to
Executive will terminate immediately and all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder and all obligations with respect thereto (including, without limitations, with respect to base salary, bonuses, employee benefits, relocation
and temporary living reimbursements and other expense reimbursements) will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned). 
 8. Change of Control/Good Reason. 
 (a) If within one year following any
Change of Control (as defined below) Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or voluntarily by Executive for Good Reason, Executive will receive two years acceleration of any unvested portion of all Options and all RSU Awards.

 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred if at any time after the Effective Date: 
 (i) any “person” (as such term is used to Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities of the Company under an employee benefit plan of the Company, becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of (A) the outstanding shares of common stock of the company or
(B) the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or 
 (ii) the Company (A) is party to a merger, consolidation or exchange of securities which results in the holders of voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to
continue to hold at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company, the surviving entity or a parent of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or exchange, or (B) sells or
disposes of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (or any transaction having similar effect is consummated), or (C) the individuals constituting the Board immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, exchange, sale or
disposition shall cease to constitute at least 50% of the Board, unless the election of each director who was not a director prior to such merger, consolidation, exchange, sale or disposition was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
directors then in office who were directors prior to such merger, consolidation, exchange, sale or disposition. 
 (c) For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means any of the following conditions, which condition(s) remain(s) in effect 10 days after written notice to the Board from you of such condition(s): 

 (i) a material decrease in your target annual compensation; or 

(ii) a material, adverse change in your authority, responsibilities or duties, as measured against your authority, responsibilities or
duties immediately prior to such change. 
 (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of this Agreement, in no
event will you have Good Reason to resign due merely to a change of title or a change in your reporting caused by a change of control or discontinuance or modification of any duties and responsibilities solely related to the operation of a public
company. 
 9. Definition of Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as
(i) an act of dishonesty made by Executive in connection with Executive’s responsibilities as an employee, (ii) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, (iii) Executive’s gross
misconduct, or (iv) Executive’s continued violation of his employment duties after Executive has received a written demand for performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Company’s belief that
Executive has not substantially performed his duties. 
 10. Confidential Information. Executive agrees to enter into the
Company’s standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Confidential Information Agreement”) upon commencing employment hereunder, and to abide by its terms during and after his employment
with the Company. 
 11. Non-Solicitation. Until the date one (1) year after the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason, Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive’s right to receive the severance payments set forth in Section 6 (to the extent Executive is otherwise entitled to such payments) shall be
conditioned upon Executive not either directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, attempting to hire, recruiting, encouraging, taking away, hiring any employee of the Company or causing an employee to leave his or her employment either for
Executive or for any other entity or person. 
 12. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the company under the terms of
this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially
all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other
attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void. 
 13. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally,

 Attn: Legal Department 
 If to Executive: 

at the last residential address known by the Company. 
 14. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement will continue in full force
and effect without said provision. 
 15. Arbitration. 

(a) General. In consideration of Executive’s service to the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment related disputes
and Executive’s receipt of the compensation, pay raises and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company
and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s service to the Company under the Agreement or otherwise or the
termination of Executive’s service with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2,
including Section 1283.05 (the “Rules”) and pursuant to California law. Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to wave any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or
federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination and any statutory claims. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes
that the Company may have with Executive. 
 (b) Procedure. Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will allow for
discovery according to the rules set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure. Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment
and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall issue a written decision on the merits. Executive also agrees that the arbitrator shall

 
have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law. The Parties understand that the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision in
support of his award. Executive understands the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Executive shall pay the first $200.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Executive
initiates. Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the
Rules, the Rules shall take precedence. 
 (c) Remedy. Except as provided by the Rules, arbitration shall be the sole,
exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to
arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the
Company has not adopted. 
 (d) Availability of Injunctive Relief. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition
the court for provisional relief, Executive agrees that any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement regarding
trade secrets, confidential information, nonsolicitation or Labor Code §2870. In the event either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys fees. 

(e) Administrative Relief. Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit Executive from pursuing an administrative
claim with a local, state or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the workers’ compensation board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive
from pursuing court action regarding any such claim. 
 (f) Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Executive acknowledges and
agrees that Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive has carefully read this Agreement and that Executive has
asked any questions needed for Executive to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that Executive is waiving Executive’s right to a jury trial. Finally, Executive agrees
that Executive has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this Agreement. 
 17. Integration. This Agreement, together with the 2006 Plan, Option Agreement(s), RSU Agreement(s) and the Confidential Information Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing
and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto. 

 18. Tax Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to
withholding of applicable taxes. 
 19. Governing Laws. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of
California. 
 20. Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Deferred Payments (as defined below) shall be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the final regulations and official guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”). Similarly, no severance payable to
Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that would otherwise be exempt from Section 409 pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) shall be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A. 
 (b) Any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be
considered Deferred Payments will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth
(60th) day following Executive’s separation from
service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 20(c). Any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the
preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 

(c) Further, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s
separation from service (other than due to death), and the severance payments and benefits payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to the Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered
deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”), such Deferred Payments that are otherwise payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service will
become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in
accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of
Executive’s separation from service (or any later delay date), then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all
other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under the Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 (d) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the
requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes the Agreement. Any severance payment that qualifies as

 
a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit
shall not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of the Agreement. For purposes of this section (d), “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based
upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the taxable year preceding the taxable year of Executive’s separation from service as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue
Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.

 (e) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance
payments and benefits to be provided under the Agreement will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. Executive and the Company agree to work together in good
faith to consider amendments to the Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under
Section 409A. 
 21. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to discuss this matter
with and obtain advice from his private attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by their duly authorized officers, as of the day and year
first above written.

greater than $100,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Buyer Claims may be asserted only to the extent of the Losses in excess of such amount, excluding individual Losses that are less than the Threshold Amount. With respect

	 	11.3. 	Procedures for Resolution and Payment of Third-Party Claims for Indemnification. 

 

	 	11.3.1. 	Notice and Control. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event any third party asserts a Claim with respect to any matter as to which the indemnities
in this Agreement relate, the party or parties against whom the Claim is asserted (whether singular or plural, the “Indemnitee”) shall give prompt written notice to the other party or parties (whether singular or plural, the
“Indemnitor”) in reasonable detail so that the Indemnitor is or will be able to reasonably understand the basis of the Claim; provided that the failure of the Indemnitee to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its
obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnitor shall have the right at its election to take over the defense or settlement of the third party Claim at its own expense by giving
prompt notice to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not give such notice and does not proceed diligently so to defend the third party Claim within 30 days after receipt of the notice of the third party Claim, the Indemnitor shall be bound
by any defense or settlement that the Indemnitee may make as to those Claims and shall reimburse the Indemnitee for its Losses related to the defense or settlement of the third party Claim. Subject to Indemnitor retaining control of the Claim
or settlement thereof, the Indemnitee shall, at its option and expense, have the right to participate in the defense of any such Claims defended by the Indemnitor (except that Indemnitor shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel
to Indemnitee unless agreed to in writing). The parties shall cooperate in defending against any asserted third party Claims. 

  

	 	11.3.2. 	Claim Resolution. Anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if there is a reasonable probability that a third
party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to defend, compromise or settle such Claim;
provided, however, that if such Claim is settled without the Indemnitor’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have waived all rights hereunder against the Indemnitor
for money damages arising out of such Claim, and (b) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or (ii) if such settlement, compromise or consent involves the imposition of equitable remedies or
the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnitee other than financial obligations for which such Indemnitee will be fully indemnified hereunder. 

 11.4. Remedies Exclusive; No Other Remedies. The remedies contained in this Article 11 shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies for any post-Closing Claims made in
connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto hereby waives and releases, and covenants not to seek or assert, any other Claims or remedies in the event that the Closing occurs.

any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future Laws effective during the term hereof, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of
this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable consistent with the intentions of the parties hereto, and the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Likewise, each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance and, if any party hereto has
breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which
such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. 
 12.2. Further Assurances. All parties agree and obligate themselves, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees and agents, to promptly execute
any additional documents and instruments and take any other actions necessary and proper for the complete and expeditious implementation and satisfaction of the provisions and intent of this Agreement. In addition, Seller agrees that during and

State of Louisiana, including, but not limited to, making its books and records available to Buyer or its designee on an as-needed, reasonable basis after the Closing; provided, however, in no event whatsoever shall Seller be required to pay
or be responsible for the payment of any monies in connection therewith.

Louisiana. Each of the parties agrees that this Agreement is and shall be subject to the Liquor and Gaming Laws of the State of Louisiana and to the oversight of the Louisiana State Police and the Gaming Control Board of the State of
