Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 7(b) below), determined at the time such option would
otherwise be granted for a given calendar year.

     4. Offering Periods. An Employee’s rights hereunder shall accrue on the terms and

Periods commencing on the first day of each month of each year (or at such other time or times as

     5. Participation.

          (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan (commencing as of the start of

required documents (“Enrollment Documents”) provided by the Company and submitting them to the
Company’s Human Resources Department or the Designated Administrator at least ten (10) business
days prior to the start of such Offering Period, unless a later time for submission of the
Enrollment Documents is set by the Company’s Human Resources Department. The Enrollment Documents
and their submission may be electronic or

3

 

telephonic, as directed by the Company. The Enrollment Documents shall set forth the dollar
amount or percentage of Compensation (subject to Section 6(a) below) to be paid as Contributions
pursuant to the Plan. The dollar amount or percentage of Contributions selected by a participant
may be changed as of the beginning of an Offering Period by submitting the required documentation
at least ten (10) business days prior to the start of such Offering Period; provided, however, that
Contributions may be discontinued during an Offering Period as provided in Section 10(b).

          (b) With respect to each Offering Period, payroll deductions shall commence with the first
payroll period following the Offering Date and shall end with the last payroll period ending on or
prior to the Purchase Date of the Offering Period, unless sooner terminated by the participant as
provided in Section 10.

          (c) Execution and submission of Enrollment Documents by a participant to the Company shall be
deemed to constitute the agreement of the participant to be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan.

     6. Method of Payment of Contributions.

          (a) A participant’s payroll deductions made on each payday during any particular Offering
Period must equal a specified dollar amount or a whole percentage not exceeding 20% (or such
greater percentage as the Board may establish from time to time before an Offering Date) of such
participant’s Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period. All payroll deductions made
by a participant shall be credited, without interest, to his or her account under the Plan. A
participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

          (b) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in or Contributions to the Plan as
provided in Section 10.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with the annual
limitations set forth in Section 3(b)(ii) herein, a participant’s payroll deductions may be
decreased during any Offering Period scheduled to end during any particular calendar year to 0%.
Payroll deductions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such participant’s Enrollment
Documents at the beginning of the first Offering Period that is scheduled to end in the following
calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

     7. Grant of Option.

          (a) On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in the
Plan for such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on the Purchase Date for that
Offering Period a number of Shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s
Contributions accumulated during the Offering Period and retained in the participant’s account as
of the Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price (subject to any adjustment pursuant to
Section 19 below); provided, however, that such purchase shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Plan, including without limitation the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b)
and 12.

4

 

          (b) The fair market value of the Common Stock on a given date (the “Fair Market
Value”) shall be the closing sale price of a Share of Common Stock for such date on the Trading
Market (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately
preceding trading date), as reported in The Wall Street Journal.

     8. Exercise of Option. Unless a participant timely withdraws from the Plan as provided
in Section 10, his or her option for the purchase of Shares will, without the delivery of any
further documentation, be deemed to be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of an Offering
Period, and the maximum number of Shares subject to the option, rounded to the nearest one-ten
thousandth of a Share, will be purchased at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated
Contributions in his or her account as of such date. During his or her lifetime, a participant’s
option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

     9. Delivery and Holding of Shares.

          (a) As promptly as practicable after each Purchase Date, the number of Shares purchased by
each participant upon exercise of his or her option shall be deposited into an account established
in the participant’s name with the Designated Administrator. Such Shares shall remain in the
account until the second anniversary of the Offering Date applicable to the Shares.
Notwithstanding the above, a participant may request that the Designated Administrator sell any or
all of his or her Shares at any time, and the participant shall pay all charges therefore,
including brokerage commissions.

          (b) Following the second anniversary of the applicable Offering Date, a participant may
request that certificates representing such Shares purchased be issued in the participant’s name
and delivered to the participant or the participant’s agent, and the participant shall pay any
charges therefor. No certificates for fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu of any such
fractional share, the participant will receive a cash payment based on the Fair Market Value of a
Share.

     10. Voluntary Withdrawal; Termination of Contributions; Termination of Employment.

          (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all of the Contributions credited to his
or her account under the Plan by submitting fully completed withdrawal documentation in the manner
prescribed by the Company’s Human Resources Department at least 15 days prior to the Purchase Date
or such shorter period as the Company’s Human Resources Department shall permit. Upon receipt by
the Company of withdrawal documentation properly completed to the Company’s satisfaction, (i) all
of the participant’s Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to him or her, (ii)
his or her option for the current Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and (iii) no
further Contributions for the purchase of Shares by such participant will be accepted during the
Offering Period.

          (b) As soon as administratively feasible following termination of the participant’s Continuous
Status as an Employee prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period for any reason, whether
voluntary or involuntary, including retirement or death, the Contributions credited to his or her
account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or

5

 

her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 14, and his or her option
will be automatically terminated.

          (c) A participant’s withdrawal from an offering during any particular Offering Period will not
have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in a succeeding offering or in any
similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company; provided, however, that the Employee
shall be required to resubmit Enrollment Documents in order to resume Contributions.

     11. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the
Plan.

     12. Stock.

          (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18, no more than 1,000,000 Shares shall be
made available for purchase under the Plan. If the Board determines that, on a given Purchase
Date, the number of Shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed the number
of Shares available for sale under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Board may in its sole
discretion authorize the Company to allocate the Shares of Common Stock available for purchase on
such Purchase Date in a manner determined to be equitable by the Board in its sole discretion.

          (b) The participant shall have no ownership, economic, voting or other rights or interests
with respect to Shares subject to purchase under his or her option until such option has been
exercised and the Shares have been issued.

          (c) Shares to be sold to a participant under the Plan may be Shares acquired by the Company in
the open market, treasury shares or newly issued shares. Shares to be delivered to a participant
under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or, if directed by the
participant, in the name of the participant and his or her spouse.

     13. Administration. The Board, or a committee thereof, shall have general authority
to administer the Plan and shall have all of the powers specified herein as being held by the
Board. The Board may in its discretion delegate, to personnel of the Company’s Human Resources
Department or to the Designated Administrator, the Board’s general authority to adopt, amend and
rescind any rules deemed desirable and appropriate for the administration of the Plan and not
inconsistent with the Plan, to construe and interpret the Plan, and to make all other
determinations (including determinations as to the amounts of participants’ Compensation) necessary
or advisable for the day-to-day operation of the Plan.

     14. Designation of Beneficiary.

          (a) 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. A participant may
also designate a beneficiary to receive any Shares to which the participant is entitled if an
Offering Period terminates prior to death, but death occurs prior to delivery to him or her of such
Shares. Beneficiary designations under this Section 14(a) shall be made as directed by the
Company’s Human Resources Department, which may require electronic submission of the required
documentation with the Designated Administrator.

6

 

          (b) Any designation of a beneficiary hereunder may be changed by the participant at any time
by submission of the required notice in the manner prescribed by the Company’s Human Resources
Department. 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 any such cash or Shares (as specified in paragraph (a)) 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 any such cash or Shares to
the participant’s relatives or representatives.

     15. Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a participant’s account nor
any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares under the Plan may be
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of
descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 14) 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 funds in accordance with Section 10(a).

     16. Use of Funds. All Contributions received or held directly or indirectly 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 or safeguard such Contributions.

     17. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan.
Statements of account will be provided to participating Employees by the Company or the Designated
Administrator at least quarterly.

     18. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.

          (a) Adjustment. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company,
the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan, whether under currently
outstanding options or available for future options (collectively, the “Reserves”), and the
price per Share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan that has not yet been
exercised, shall be proportionately and equitably adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in
the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company or the holders of
such Shares; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Except as expressly
provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option.

          (b) Corporate Transactions. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may, in
its sole discretion (and without the consent of participants), elect to (i) unilaterally terminate
the Plan prior to the consummation of such transaction and return all Contributions to
participants; (ii) unilaterally set a new Purchase Date on or before the date of consummation of
the Corporate Transaction (provided that the Company notifies the participants of such new date),
as of which new Purchase Date the Offering Period then in progress will terminate and all options
outstanding hereunder shall be deemed to be exercised automatically, unless prior to

7

 

such date a participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10; or
(iii) provide for an alternative treatment of the participants’ options that is acceptable to the
person or entity that will succeed to the Company’s assets, business or operations pursuant to such
transaction. Any action taken by the Board under this paragraph shall be binding on all
participants.

     19. Amendment or Termination. The Board may at any time, in its sole discretion (and
without the consent of participants), terminate or amend the Plan, except that without the approval
of the stockholders of the Company no amendment shall be made (i) to increase the number of Shares
approved for sale through the Plan (other than under Section 18 hereof), (ii) to decrease the
Purchase Price per Share, or (ii) that would effect a change for which stockholder approval is
required under Section 423 of the Code or the regulations issued thereunder. Upon termination of
the Plan other than at the end of an Offering Period, all Contributions then held by the Company
shall be returned to participants.

     20. 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
specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the
receipt thereof.

     21. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

          (a) Shares shall not be issued or sold hereunder unless the issuance or sale shall comply with
all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, applicable state securities laws and the requirements of any Trading Market 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.

          (b) As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising
such option (i) 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
and (ii) to make such other representations as may be required, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, to effect compliance with all applicable securities or other laws.

     22. Term of Plan; Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the
Company’s stockholders. It shall continue in effect until terminated under Section 18 (b)(i) or 19
hereof.

     23. Compliance with Certain Laws and Regulations. The Plan is intended to comply with
Section 423 of the Code and the acquisition of Shares through the Plan is intended to meet the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Plan shall be deemed to
contain, and such options shall contain, and the Shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be
subject to, any additional conditions and restrictions as may be required to qualify fully under
Section 423 and Rule 16b-3.

Exhibit 10.18

SYMANTEC CORPORATION

2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As Adopted by the Board on July 20, 2004

and as amended thereafter

     1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate
eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the
Company, its Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in
the Company’s future performance through awards of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted
Stock Units, and Restricted Stock Awards. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in
Section 24.

     2. Shares Subject to the Plan.

     2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 18, the total number of Shares
reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan will be fifty-eight million
(58,000,000) Shares plus (i) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved under the
Company’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) that are not subject to outstanding awards
under the Prior Plan upon its termination, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock that are
released from, or reacquired by the Company from, awards outstanding under the Prior Plan upon its
termination. Any award other than an Option or a SAR shall reduce the number of Shares available
for issuance under this Plan by two Shares. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 18, Shares that: (a) are
subject to issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any
reason other than exercise of such Option; (b) are subject to an Award granted hereunder but are
forfeited or are repurchased by the Company at the original issue price; or (c) are subject to an
Award that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued; will again be available for grant and
issuance in connection with future Awards under this Plan. No more than ninety million (90,000,000)
Shares shall be issued as ISOs. At all times the Company shall reserve and keep available a
sufficient number of Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding
Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted under this Plan and all other outstanding Awards
granted under this Plan.

     2.2 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the number of outstanding Shares is changed by a
stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination,
reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration or
there is a change in the corporate structure (including, without limitation, a spin-off), then (a)
the number of Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan, (b) the Exercise Prices of and number
of Shares subject to outstanding Options, (c) the number of Shares that may be granted pursuant to
Sections 3 and 6 below, and (d) the Purchase Price and number of Shares subject to other
outstanding Awards, including Restricted Stock Awards, will be proportionately adjusted, subject to
any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable
securities laws; provided, however, that fractions of a Share will not be issued but will either be
replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fraction of a Share or will be
rounded up to the nearest whole Share, as determined by the Committee.

     3. Eligibility. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be granted only to employees
(including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company or of a Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company. All other Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors,
consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company; provided such consultants, contractors and advisors render bona fide
services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction;
and provided further, that unless otherwise determined by the Board, non-employee directors shall
receive Restricted Stock Units only pursuant to the formula award provisions set forth in Section
6. No person will be eligible to receive more than 2,000,000 Shares in any calendar year under this
Plan, pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder, of which no more than 400,000 Shares shall be
covered by Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, other than new employees of the
Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (including new employees who are also officers
and directors of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company), who are eligible to
receive up to a maximum of 3,000,000 Shares in the calendar year in which they commence their
employment, of which no more than 600,000 Shares shall be covered by Awards of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units. For
purposes of these limits, each Restricted Stock Unit settled in Shares (but not those settled in
cash), shall be deemed to cover one Share. A person may be granted more than one Award under this
Plan.

     4.1 Committee Authority. This Plan will be administered by the Committee or by the Board
acting as the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of this Plan, and to

Participant) as the Committee may from time to time approve, and which will comply with and be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

2

 

     5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the Committee
makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The
Stock Option Agreement and a copy of this Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a
reasonable time after the granting of the Option.

     5.3 Exercise Period. Options will be exercisable within the times or upon the events
determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement governing such Option;
provided, however, that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from
the date the Option is granted; and provided further that no ISO granted to a person who directly
or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (“Ten Percent
Stockholder”) will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the ISO is
granted. The Committee also may provide for the exercise of Options to become exercisable at one
time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise (including, without limitation, the attainment
during a Performance Period of performance goals based on Performance Factors), in such number of
Shares or percentage of Shares as the Committee determines.

     5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the Committee when
the Option is granted and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the
date of grant; provided that the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder
will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment for
the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with Section 10 of this Plan.

     5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written
stock option exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) in a form approved by the Committee
(which need not be the same for each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased,
the restrictions imposed on the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any, and such
representations and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information
and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable
securities laws, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being
purchased.

     5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement,
exercise of an Option will always be subject to the following:

     (a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, then the
Participant may exercise such Participant’s Options only to the extent that such Options would have
been exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination
Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5) years as may be determined by
the Committee, with any exercise beyond three (3) months after the Termination Date deemed to be an
NQSO), but in any event, no later than the expiration date of the Options; provided however, that
options granted to non-employee directors pursuant to Section 6 shall remain exercisable for a
period of seven (7) months following the non-employee director’s termination as a director or
consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.

     (b) If the Participant is Terminated because of Participant’s death or Disability (or the
Participant dies within three (3) months after a Termination other than because of Participant’s
death or disability), then Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent that such
Options would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by
Participant (or Participant’s legal representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve
(12) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five
(5) years as may be determined by the Committee, with any such exercise beyond (a) three (3) months
after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason other than the Participant’s
death or Disability, or (b) twelve (12) months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for Participant’s death
or Disability, deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event no later than the expiration date of the
Options.

     5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares
that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum number will not
prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then
exercisable.

3

 

     5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant)
of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any
calendar year (under this Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any
Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) will not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market Value
of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a
Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then the Options for the first $100,000
worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year will be ISOs and the Options for the
amount in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. In the
event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date
of this Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be
subject to ISOs, such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to
any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

     5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding
Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor, provided that (a) any such
action may not, without the written consent of a Participant, impair any of such Participant’s
rights under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed
or otherwise altered will be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code; and (b)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in the Plan, the Company will not reprice
Options issued under the Plan by lowering the Exercise Price of a previously granted Award, by
canceling outstanding Options and issuing replacements, or by otherwise replacing existing Options
with substitute Options with a lower Exercise Price, without prior approval of the Company’s
stockholders.

     5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no term of this
Plan relating to ISOs will be interpreted, amended or altered, nor will any discretion or authority
granted under this Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify this Plan under Section 422 of the Code
or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the
Code.

     6. Non-Employee Director Equity Awards. Each continuing non-employee director shall receive an
annual grant of RSUs having a Fair Market Value on the date of grant equal to $180,000, and such
RSU shall be granted on the first business day following the Company’s first regular Board meeting
of the Company’s fiscal year. New non-employee directors shall be granted an initial RSU having a
Fair Market Value on the date of grant equal to $180,000 on the first business day following such
new non-employee director’s election to the Board, prorated based on the number of days from such
non-employee director’s election to the Board to, and including, the Company’s first regular Board
meeting of the following fiscal year. RSUs granted pursuant to this Section 6 vest on the first
anniversary following the date of grant, provided the non-employee director serves on the Board on
such vesting date, and shall be settled within 30 days of vesting by distribution of Shares to the
non-employee director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, each
non-employee director shall be granted RSUs on the first business day following the Company’s 2006
Annual Meeting of Stockholders with a Fair Market Value on the date of grant equal to $180,000, and
such RSUs shall vest on April 1, 2007, provided the non-employee director serves on the Board on
such vesting date, and shall be settled within 30 days of vesting by distribution of Shares to the
non-employee director. The Committee may adopt policies regarding retention of Shares upon exercise
or settlement of Awards.

     7. Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company to issue to an
eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions. The Committee will determine to whom an
offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the Purchase Price, the
restrictions to which the Shares will be subject, and all other terms and conditions of the
Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:

     7.1 Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award will be
evidenced by a written agreement (the “Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement”), which will be in
substantially a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee shall
from time to time approve, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan. A Participant can accept a Restricted Stock Award only by signing and delivering to the
Company the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, and full payment of the Purchase Price, within
thirty (30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement was delivered to the
Participant. If the Participant does not accept the Restricted Stock Award in this manner within
thirty (30) days, then the offer of the Restricted Stock Award will terminate, unless the Committee
determines otherwise.

4

 

     7.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for a Restricted Stock Award will be determined by the
Committee, and may be less than Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares)
on the date the Restricted Stock Award is granted, provided that the Exercise Price of any
Restricted Stock Award to a Ten Percent Stockholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment of the Purchase Price must be made in accordance
with Section 10 of this Plan and as permitted in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, and in
accordance with any procedures established by the Company.

     7.3 Terms of Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock Awards will be subject to all
restrictions, if any, that the Committee may impose. These restrictions may be based on completion
of a specified number of years of service with the Company and/or upon completion of the
performance goals as set out in advance in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement,
which shall be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each
Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and which will comply with and be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. Prior to the grant of a Restricted Stock Award,
the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period
for the Restricted Stock Award; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure
performance goals, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the
Participant. Performance Periods may overlap and a Participant may participate simultaneously with
respect to Restricted Stock Awards that are subject to different Performance Periods and having
different performance goals and other criteria.

     7.4 Termination During Performance Period. Restricted Stock Awards shall cease to vest
immediately if a Participant is Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, unless the
Committee determines otherwise, and any unvested Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Awards
shall be subject to the Company’s right to repurchase such Shares, as described in Section 14 of
this Plan, if and as set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

     8. Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit (or RSU) is an award covering a number of
Shares that may be settled in cash, or by issuance of those Shares (which may consist of Restricted
Stock). A RSU may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Affiliate,
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement (the “RSU Agreement”) that will
be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee will from time
to time approve, and will comply with and be subject to the following:

     8.1 Terms of RSUs. RSUs may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of
Participants, and may be based upon the achievement of the Company, Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary
and/or individual performance factors or upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine.
The Committee will determine all terms of each RSU including, without limitation: the number of
Shares subject to each RSU, the time or times during which each RSU may be exercised, the
consideration to be distributed on settlement, and the effect on each RSU of its holder’s
Termination. A RSU may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in
advance in the Participant’s individual Award Agreement (the “Performance RSU Agreement”) that will
be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee will from time
to time approve, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. If
the RSU is being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a Performance RSU
Agreement, then the Committee will: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any
Performance Period for each RSU; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to
measure the performance, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares deemed subject to the RSU.
Prior to settlement of any RSU earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a
Performance RSU
Agreement, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such RSU has been earned. Performance
Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to RSUs that are
subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria. The
number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as
may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals applicable to
the RSUs to take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules and to make such
adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary
or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.

     8.2 Form and Timing of Settlement. The portion of a RSU being settled may be paid currently or
on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee may
determine. Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole Shares or a combination thereof, either
in a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee will determine.

5

 

     9. Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right (or SAR) is an award that may be
settled in cash, or Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock), having a value equal to the
value determined by multiplying the difference between the Fair Market Value on the date of
settlement over the Exercise Price and the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is being
settled. A SAR may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement (the “SAR Agreement”) that will be in such
form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee will from time to time
approve, and will comply with and be subject to the following:

     9.1 Terms of SARs. SARs may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of
Participants, and may be based upon the achievement of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary and/or
individual performance factors or upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine. The
Committee will determine all terms of each SAR including, without limitation: the number of Shares
deemed subject to each SAR, the time or times during which each SAR may be settled, the
consideration to be distributed on settlement, and the effect on each SAR of its holder’s
Termination. The Exercise Price of a SAR will be determined by the Committee when the SAR is
granted and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.
A SAR may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in advance in the
Participant’s individual Award Agreement (the “Performance SAR Agreement”) that will be in such
form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee will from time to time
approve, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. If the SAR
is being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a Performance SAR Agreement,
then the Committee will: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance
Period for each SAR; (b) select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure the
performance, if any; and (c) determine the number of Shares deemed subject to the SAR. Prior to
settlement of any SAR earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a Performance
SAR Agreement, the Committee shall determine the extent to which such SAR has been earned.
Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to
SARs that are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other
criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals
and criteria as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals
applicable to the SARs to take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules and to make
such adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of
extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.

     9.2 Form and Timing of Settlement. The portion of a SAR being settled may be paid currently or
on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee may
determine. Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole Shares or a combination thereof, either
in a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee will determine.

     10. Payment for Share Purchases. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be
made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee and where
permitted by law:

     (a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;

     (b) by surrender of shares that either: (1) have been owned by Participant for more than six
(6) months and have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were
purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect
to such shares); or (2) were obtained by Participant in the public market;

     (c) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms as may be approved by the
Committee and bearing interest at a rate sufficient to avoid imputation of income under Sections
483 and 1274 of the Code; provided, however, that Participants who are not employees or directors
of the Company will not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note unless the note is
adequately secured by collateral other than the Shares; provided, further, that the portion of the
Purchase Price equal to the par value of the Shares, if any, must be paid in cash;

     (d) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant for services rendered;
provided, further, that the portion of the Purchase Price equal to the par value of the Shares, if
any, must be paid in cash;

6

 

     (e) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public
market for the Company’s stock exists:

     (1) through a “same day sale” commitment from the Participant and a broker-dealer that is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby the Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay
for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares
to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

     (2) through a “margin” commitment from the Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby the
Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the
NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

     (f) by any combination of the foregoing.

     11. Withholding Taxes.

     11.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted
under this Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery
of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments in
satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment will be net of an amount sufficient to
satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

     11.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in
connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the
Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may
allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the
Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value
equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax
to be withheld is to be determined (the “Tax Date”). All elections by a Participant to have Shares
withheld for this purpose will be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

     12. Privileges of Stock Ownership; Voting and Dividends. No Participant will have any of the
rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant.
After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant will be a stockholder and have all the
rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all
dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if such
Shares are restricted stock, then any new, additional or different securities the Participant may
become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split
or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company will be subject to the
same restrictions as the restricted stock; provided, further, that the Participant will have no
right to retain such stock dividends or stock distributions with respect to Shares that are
repurchased at the Participant’s original Purchase Price.

     13. Transferability. Awards granted under this Plan, and any interest therein, will not be
transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific Plan and
Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. All Awards shall be exercisable: (i) during the
Participant’s lifetime, only by (A) the Participant, or (B) the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative; and (ii) after Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the
Participant’s heirs or legatees.

     14. Restrictions on Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to
itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right to repurchase a portion of or all
Shares that are not vested held by a Participant following such Participant’s Termination at any
time within ninety (90) days after the later of Participant’s Termination Date and the date
Participant purchases Shares under this Plan, for cash and/or cancellation of purchase money
indebtedness, at the Participant’s original Exercise Price or Purchase Price, as the case may be.
All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this Plan will be subject to such
stock

7

 

transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or
advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or
any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated
quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted.

     15. Escrow; Pledge of Shares. To enforce any restrictions on a Participant’s Shares, the
Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together
with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately
endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until
such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends
referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Participant who is permitted to
execute a promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of Shares under this
Plan will be required to pledge and deposit with the Company all or part of the Shares so purchased
as collateral to secure the payment of Participant’s obligation to the Company under the promissory
note; provided, however, that the Committee may require or accept other or additional forms of
collateral to secure the payment of such obligation and, in any event, the Company will have full
recourse against the Participant under the promissory note notwithstanding any pledge of the
Participant’s Shares or other collateral. In connection with any pledge of the Shares, Participant
will be required to execute and deliver a written pledge agreement in such form as the Committee
will from time to time approve. The Shares purchased with the promissory note may be released from
the pledge on a pro rata basis as the promissory note is paid.

     16. Exchange and Buyout of Awards. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time,
authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in
exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. This Section shall
not be construed to defeat the approval requirements of Section 5.9 for any repricing of Options.

     17. Securities Law and Other Regulatory Compliance. An Award will not be effective unless such
Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations
of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of
the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under
this Plan prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company
determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (b) completion of any registration or other
qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that
the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no obligation to
register the Shares with the SEC or to effect
compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities
laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any
inability or failure to do so.

     18. Corporate Transactions.

     18.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor. In the event of (a) a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, (b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation
of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial
change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock
holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor
corporation, which assumption will be binding on all Participants), (c) a merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company (other than
any stockholder which merges (or which owns or controls another corporation which merges) with the
Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interests in the Company, (d) the
sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (e) any other transaction which
qualifies as a “corporate transaction” under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the stockholders of
the Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company (except for the acquisition, sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of the Company from or by the
stockholders of the Company), any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed, converted or replaced
by the successor corporation (if any), which assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding
on all Participants, or the successor corporation may substitute equivalent awards or provide
substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking
into account the existing provisions of the Awards); provided that all formula Restricted Stock
Unit grants, pursuant to Section 6 shall accelerate and be fully vested upon such merger,
consolidation or

8

 

corporate transaction and to the extent unexercised shall terminate upon such
merger, consolidation or corporate transaction. In the event such successor corporation (if any)
fails to assume or substitute Awards pursuant to a transaction described in this Subsection 18.1,
all such Awards will expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Board
shall determine.

     18.2 Other Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under
the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, in the event of the occurrence of any transaction
described in Section 18.1, any outstanding Awards will be treated as provided in the applicable
agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or other
“corporate transaction.”

     18.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may substitute
or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition
of such other company or otherwise, by either; (a) granting an Award under this Plan in
substitution of such other company’s award; or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted
under this Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this
Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or
assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company
had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted
by another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except that the
exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such option will
be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects
to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with
a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

     19. No Obligation to Employ; Accelerated Expiration of Award for Harmful Act. Nothing in this Plan
or any Award granted under this Plan will confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any
right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other
relationship at any time, with or without cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
if a Participant is Terminated because of such Participant’s actual or alleged commitment of a
criminal act or an intentional tort and the Company (or an employee of the Company) is the victim
or object of such criminal act or intentional tort or such criminal act or intentional tort
results, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, in liability, loss, damage or injury to the
Company, then, at the Company’s election, Participant’s Awards
shall not be exercisable and shall expire upon the Participant’s Termination Date. Termination by
the Company based on a Participant’s alleged commitment of a criminal act or an intentional tort
shall be based on a reasonable investigation of the facts and a determination by the Company that a
preponderance of the evidence discovered in such investigation indicates that such Participant is
guilty of such criminal act or intentional tort.

     20. Adoption and Stockholder Approval. This Plan will become effective on the date that it is
adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”). This Plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the
Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant to this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within
twelve (12) months before or after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board may grant
Awards pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no
Option may be exercised prior to initial stockholder approval of this Plan; (b) no Option granted
pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares subject to this Plan approved by the Board will be
exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the stockholders of the Company; and
(c) in the event that stockholder approval of this Plan or any amendment increasing the number of
Shares subject to this Plan is not obtained, all Awards granted hereunder will be canceled, any
Shares issued pursuant to any Award will be canceled, and any purchase of Shares hereunder will be
rescinded.

     21. Term of Plan. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Plan will terminate ten
(10) years from the date this Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date of stockholder
approval.

     22. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may at any time terminate or amend this Plan
in any respect, including without limitation amendment of Section 6 of this Plan; provided,
however, that the Board will not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend
this Plan to increase the number of shares that may be issued under this Plan, change the
designation of employees or class of employees eligible for participation in this Plan or
materially modify a provision of the Plan.

9

 

     23. Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board, the submission
of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of this Plan will
be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional
compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of

SYMANTEC CORPORATION

STOCK OPTION GRANT — TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     1. Grant of Option. Symantec Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (the
“Company”), hereby grants to the optionee named in the Stock Option Grant (the
“Optionee”) an option (this “Option”) to purchase the Total Number of Shares
Subject to Option set forth in the Stock Option Grant (the “Shares”) at the Exercise Price
Per Share set forth in the Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the
terms and conditions set forth in this Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Grant and the Stock
Option Grant (collectively, the “Grant”) and in the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”). If designated as an incentive stock option in the Stock Option Grant, this
Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” (“ISO”) within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). If not so designated, this
Option shall be a nonqualified stock option (“NQSO”).

     2. Exercise Period of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Grant and in the Plan, Optionee may exercise this Option in whole or in part for any Vested Shares,
as determined in accordance with Section 8 hereof; provided, however, that this Option shall expire
and terminate on the Expiration Date set forth in the Stock Option Grant (the “Expiration Date”),
or earlier, as provided in Section 4 hereof, and must be exercised, if at all, on or before the
Expiration Date.

     3. Restrictions on Exercise. Exercise of this Option is subject to the following
limitations:

          (a) This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws, as they are in effect
on the date of exercise.

          (b) This Option may not be exercised until the Plan, or any required increase in the number
of shares authorized under the Plan, is approved by the stockholders of the Company.

          (c) If Optionee is now or hereafter determined by the Company to be (i) an officer of the
Company subject to the reporting and other requirements set forth in Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and associated regulations (a “Section 16 Officer”), and (ii) a senior vice
president of the Company, the exercise of this Option and/or sale of shares issued pursuant to an
exercise of this Option shall be subject to such conditions and/or restrictions as may be
established from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) or applicable
committee of the Board.

     4. Termination of Option. Except as provided below in this Section, this Option
shall terminate and may not be exercised if Optionee ceases to provide services as an employee,
director, consultant, independent contractor or advisor to the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company (each as defined in the Plan), except in the case of sick leave, military
leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the committee appointed by the Board to administer
the Plan (the “Committee”) or by any person designated by the Committee, provided that such
leave is for a period of not more than ninety days, or reinstatement upon the expiration of such
leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. The Committee or its designee will have sole discretion
to determine whether an Optionee has ceased to provide services and the effective date on which the
Optionee ceased to provide services (the “Termination Date”).

          (a) If Optionee ceases to provide services to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company for any reason except death or disability, Optionee may exercise this
Option to the extent (and only to the extent) that it would have been exercisable upon the
Termination Date, within three months (seven months if granted to a non-employee director) after
the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date.

A-1

 

          (b) If Optionee ceases to provide services to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company because of the death or disability of Optionee, within the meaning of
Section 22(e) (3) of the Code, (or the Optionee dies within three months after the Optionee ceases
to provide services other than because of such Optionee’s death or disability) the Option may be
exercised to the extent (and only to the extent) that it would have been exercisable by Optionee on
the Termination Date, by Optionee (or the Optionee’s legal representative) within twelve months
after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Optionee ceases to provide services to
the Company or any Parent, Subsidary or Affiliate of the Company because of the Optionee’s actual
or alleged commitment of a criminal act or an intentional tort and the Company (or an employee of
the Company) is the victim or object of such criminal act or intentional tort or such criminal act
or intentional tort results, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, in liability, loss, damage
or injury to the Company, then, at the Company’s election, this Option shall not be exercisable and
shall terminate upon the Optionee’s Termination Date. Termination by the Company based on
Optionee’s alleged commitment of a criminal act or an intentional tort shall be based on a
reasonable investigation of the facts and a determination by the Company that a preponderance of
the evidence discovered in such investigation indicates that Optionee is guilty of such criminal
act or intentional tort.

Nothing in this Grant or in the Plan shall confer on Optionee any right to continue in the employ
of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Company, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Company to terminate Optionee’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or
without cause.

     5. Manner of Exercise.

          (a) This Option shall be exercisable by delivery to the Company of an executed written Notice
of Intent to Exercise Stock Option in the form attached hereto, or in such other form as may be
approved by the Company (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth Optionee’s
election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares being purchased, any restrictions imposed on
the Shares and such other representations and agreements regarding Optionee’s investment intent and
access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws.

          (b) Such Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for
the Shares being purchased (i) in cash (by check); (ii) by surrender of shares of Common Stock of
the Company that have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months (and which have been paid
for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use
of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares) or were obtained
by the Optionee in the open public market, having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan)
equal to the Exercise Price of the Option; (iii) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to
Optionee for services rendered; (iv) provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists,
through a “same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby the Optionee
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay
for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares
to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; (v) provided that a public market for the
Company’s stock exists, through a “margin” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby
the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the
NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to
forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (vi) by any combination of the foregoing
where approved by the Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion.

          (c) Withholding Taxes. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this
Option, Optionee must pay or make adequate provision for any applicable federal or state
withholding obligations of the Company.

A-2

 

          (d) Issuance of Shares. Provided that such notice and payment are in form and
substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall cause the Shares to be issued
in the name of Optionee or Optionee’s legal representative or assignee.

     6. Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to
Optionee pursuant to this Grant is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of
the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date which is two years
after the Grant Date, or (2) the date one year after exercise of the ISO with respect to which the
Shares are to be sold or disposed, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of
such disposition. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax
withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee from any such
early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current wages or other earnings payable to the
Optionee.

     7. Nontransferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
other than by will or by the law of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Optionee.

     8. Vesting Schedule. Shares that are vested pursuant to the vesting schedule set
forth in the Stock Option Grant are “Vested Shares” and exercisable hereunder, provided
that the Optionee provides services to the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company on the First Vesting Date and on each Succeeding Vesting Date thereafter.

     9. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The exercise of this Option and the
issuance of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Optionee with all
applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements
of any stock exchange or national market system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed
at the time of such issuance. Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities
commission or any stock exchange or national market system on which the Company’s Common Stock may
be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer.

     10. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this
Option of some of the federal and California tax consequences of exercise of this Option and
disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS
OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          (a) Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be no regular
federal income tax liability or California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over
the Exercise Price will be treated as a tax preference item for federal income tax purposes and may
subject the Optionee to alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

          (b) Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option. If this Option does not qualify as an
ISO, there may be a regular federal income tax liability and a state income tax liability upon the
exercise of the Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income
(taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. The Company will be required to withhold
from Optionee’s compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities
an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

          (c) Disposition of Shares. If the Shares are held for at least twelve months after
the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of this Option (and, if this Option
qualifies as an ISO, are disposed of at least two years after the Grant Date), any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares will be treated as long term capital gain for federal income tax
purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within one

A-3

 

year of exercise or within two years after the Grant Date, any gain realized on such disposition
will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the
excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise
Price (provided that if the disposition results in a tax-deductible loss, then the amount treated
as compensation income shall not exceed the amount realized on such disposition over the Exercise
Price).

     11. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation hereof or of the Plan
shall be submitted by Optionee or the Company forthwith to the Committee, which shall review such
dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be
final and binding on the Company and on Optionee.

     12. Governing Law. This Grant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. If any provision of this
Grant is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be
enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and
enforceable.

     13. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the
terms of this Grant shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at
its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be
in writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated in the Stock Option Grant or to such
other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the Company. All notices
shall be deemed to have been given or delivered upon: personal delivery; three days after deposit
in the United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested); one business
day after deposit with any return receipt express courier (prepaid); or one business day after
transmission by facsimile, rapifax or telecopier.

     14. Entire Agreement. The Plan and the Exercise Agreement are incorporated in this
Grant by reference. This Grant constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all
prior undertakings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION

FORM OF RSU AWARD AGREEMENT

RECITALS

A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and
motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of
Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) and its Affiliates.

B. Participant is to render valuable services to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and this RSU
Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in
connection with the Company’s issuance of rights in respect of Common Stock in the form of
Restricted Stock Units (each, a “RSU”).

C. All capitalized terms in this RSU Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in Appendix
A attached hereto. All undefined terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby awards to the Participant RSUs
under the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock on the vesting
date of that RSU (each, a “Share”), subject to the provisions of this RSU Agreement (including any
Appendices hereto). The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Award, the applicable
vesting schedule for the RSUs and the Shares, the dates on which those vested Shares shall be
issued to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing this Award shall be as set
forth in this RSU Agreement.

1.   AWARD SUMMARY

	 	 	 
	Award Date and Number of
Shares Subject to Award:

	 	As set forth in the Notice of Agreement.
	 
	 	 
	Vesting
Schedule:

	 	The Shares shall vest in four equal
installments at a rate of 25% on each Annual
Vest Date, or, if applicable, pursuant to the
schedule set forth on Appendix B hereto.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Shares allocated to each applicable
vesting date shall vest on that date only if
the employment of the Participant has not
Terminated as of such date, and no additional
shares shall vest following the Participant’s
Termination.
	 
	 	 
	Issuance
Schedule

	 	The Shares in which the Participant vests in
accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule
shall be issuable as set forth in Paragraph 6.
However, the actual number of vested Shares to
be issued will be subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 7 pursuant to which the applicable
withholding taxes are to be collected.

2. Limited Transferability. This Award, and any interest therein, shall not be
transferable or assignable by the Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment
or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as
consistent with this RSU Agreement and the Plan.

3. Cessation of Service. Should the Participant’s service to the Company or an Affiliate
be Terminated for any reason (whether or not in breach of local labor laws) prior to vesting in one
or more Shares subject to this Award, then the RSUs covering such unvested Shares will be
immediately thereafter cancelled, the Participant shall cease to have any right or entitlement to
receive any Shares under those cancelled RSUs and the Participant’s right to receive RSUs and vest
under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer
actively

B-1

 

providing service; in no event will the Participant’s service be extended by any notice
period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a period of “garden leave”
or similar period pursuant to local law). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to
determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of the Plan.

4. Corporate Transaction.

a. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any or all outstanding RSUs subject to this RSU
Agreement may be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation (if any), which
assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding on the Participant, or the successor
corporation may substitute an equivalent award or provide substantially similar
consideration to the Participant as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account
the existing provisions of the RSUs).

b. In the event such successor corporation (if any) fails to assume this Award or substitute
an equivalent award (as provided in Paragraph 4(a) above) pursuant to a Corporate
Transaction, this Award will expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions
as the Board shall determine.

c. This RSU Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.

5. Adjustment in Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any
stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination,
reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration or
if there is a change in the corporate structure, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to the
total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such
change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

6. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.

a. As soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date of any portion of the RSU,
the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in
electronic form) for the applicable number of underlying shares of Common Stock that so
vested, subject, however, to the provisions of Paragraph 7 pursuant to which the applicable
withholding taxes are to be collected. In no event shall the date of settlement be later
than two and one half (21/2) months after the later of (i) the end of the Company’s fiscal
year in which the applicable vesting date occurs or (ii) the end of the calendar year in
which the applicable vesting date occurs.

b. In no event shall fractional Shares be issued.

c. The holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights,
with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs until the Award holder becomes the record
holder of those Shares following their actual issuance and after the satisfaction of the Tax
Obligations (as defined below).

7. Tax Obligations. The Participant hereby agrees to make adequate provision for any sums
required to satisfy the applicable federal, state, local and foreign employment, social insurance,
payroll, income and other tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate (the “Tax
Obligations”) that arise in connection with this Award. The satisfaction of the Tax Obligations
shall occur at the time the Participant receives a distribution of Common Stock or other property
pursuant to this Award, or at any time prior to such time or thereafter as reasonably requested by
the Company and/or any Affiliate in accordance with applicable law. The Participant hereby
authorizes the Company, at its sole discretion and subject to any limitations under applicable law,
to satisfy any such Tax Obligations by (1) in the event the RSU is to be settled in part in cash
rather than settled in full in Shares, withholding from the cash to be distributed to the
Participant in settlement of this Award, (2) permitting the Participant to enter into a “same day
sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to sell a portion of

B-2

 

the
Shares to be delivered under the Award to satisfy the applicable Tax Obligations and whereby the
NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the proceeds necessary to
satisfy the Tax Obligations directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and (3) withholding
Shares that are otherwise to be issued and delivered to the Participant under this Award in
satisfaction of the Tax Obligations; provided, however, that the amount of the Shares so withheld
pursuant to alternative (3) shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the
required Tax Obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates that are applicable to this
kind of income. In addition, to the extent this Award is not settled in cash, the Company is
authorized to satisfy any Tax Obligations by withholding for the Tax Obligations from wages and
other cash compensation payable to the Participant or by causing the Participant to tender a cash
payment to the Company if the Committee determines in good faith at the time the Tax Obligations
arises that withholding pursuant to the foregoing alternatives (2) and (3) above are not in the
best interest of the Company or the Participant. In the event the Tax Obligations arises prior to
the delivery to the Participant of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Shares or
other property that the amount of the Tax Obligations was greater than the amount withheld by the
Company and/or any Affiliate, the Participant shall indemnify and hold the Company and its
Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or any Affiliate to withhold the proper
amount. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if the Participant fails to comply with the
Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations as described in this Paragraph 7.

8. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

a. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the RSU shall be subject to compliance
by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto
and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or an established market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such
issuance.

b. The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority
deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Common Stock hereby
shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the Common
Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, shall
use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

9. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this RSU Agreement,
the provisions of this RSU Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
Company and its successors and assigns and Participant, Participant’s assigns, the legal
representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate and any beneficiaries designated by
Participant.

10. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms
of this RSU Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate
offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant shall be in writing and
addressed to Participant at the address indicated below Participant’s signature line on this RSU
Agreement (as may be updated from time to time by written notice from the Participant). All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage
prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

11. Construction. This RSU Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted
pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. All
decisions of the Committee with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this RSU
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the RSU.

12. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this RSU Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s
conflict-of-laws rules.

13. Excess Shares. If the Shares of Common Stock covered by this RSU Agreement exceed, as
of the date the RSU is granted, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder
approval be issued under the Plan, then the Award shall be void with respect to those excess
Shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

B-3

 

14. Employment at Will. Nothing in this RSU Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon
Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company for any period of specific
duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any
Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) or of
Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s service
with the Company at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

15. Severability. The provisions of this RSU Agreement are severable and if any one or
more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the
remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

16. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any
documents related to participation in the Plan, RSUs granted under the Plan or future RSUs that may
be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request Participant’s consent to participate in
the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic
delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic
system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

APPENDIX C

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

1. Nature of the Grant. In signing this RSU Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that:

     a. the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may
be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided
in the Plan and this RSU Agreement;

     b. the grant of RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive future awards of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs even if RSUs have been awarded
repeatedly in the past;

     c. all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion
of the Company;

     d. the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

     e. the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment
with the Company or the Participant’s actual employer (the “Employer”) and shall not interfere with
the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s service at any time with or without cause;

     f. RSUs are an extraordinary item that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services
of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer, and RSUs are outside the scope of the
Participant’s employment contract, if any;

     g. RSUs are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including,
but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of
service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

     h. in the event that Participant is not an employee of the Company, the grant of RSUs will not
be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore,
the grant of RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

     i. the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with
certainty;

     j. if the Participant receives Shares upon vesting, the value of such Shares acquired on
vesting of RSUs may increase or decrease in value; and

     k. in consideration of the grant of RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages
arises from termination of the RSUs or diminution in value of the RSUs or Shares received upon
vesting of RSUs resulting from Termination of the Participant’s service by the Company or the
Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the
Participant irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise;
if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have arisen, then, by signing this RSU Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to
have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.

2. Data Privacy Notice and Consent.

     a. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and
transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this RSU
Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, its Parent, its Subsidiaries and
its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the
Participant’s participation in the Plan.

B-8

 

     b. The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal
information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification
number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company,
details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, vested,
unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering
and managing the Plan (“Data”).

     c. The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in
the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located
in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different
data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that
he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data
by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the
recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for
the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the
Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or
other third party with whom the Shares received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. The
Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement,
administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or
she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of
Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any
case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The
Participant understands, however, that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect his or her
ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal
to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or
her local human resources representative.

3. Language. If the Participant has received this RSU Agreement or any other
document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated
version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION

RSU AWARD AGREEMENT FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

RECITALS

A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and
motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of
Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) and its Affiliates.

B. Participant is to render valuable services to the Company and/or its Affilaites, and this RSU
Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in
connection with the Company’s issuance of rights in respect of Common Stock in the form of
Restricted Stock Units (each, a “RSU”).

C. All capitalized terms in this RSU Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in Appendix
A attached hereto. All undefined terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms set forth herein and in the
Notice of Agreement, the Company hereby awards to the Participant RSUs under the Plan. Each RSU
represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (each, a “Share”) on the vesting date of
that RSU, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5. The number of shares of Common Stock subject
to this Award, the applicable vesting schedule for the RSUs and the Shares, the dates on which
those vested Shares shall be issued to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing
this Award shall be as set forth in this RSU Agreement.

AWARD SUMMARY

	 	 	 
	Award Date and Number of
Shares Subject to Award:

	 	As set forth in the Notice of Agreement.
	 
	 	 
	Vesting
Schedule:

	 	All Shares shall vest on the earlier of (a)
the vesting date set forth in the Notice of
Agreement, or (b) on the occurrence of a
merger, consolidation or “corporate
transaction” (of the type described under
Section 424(a) of the Code), but only if
Participant’s service has not Terminated prior
to the occurrence of such event.
	 
	 	 
	Issuance
Schedule

	 	The Shares in which the Participant vests
shall be issuable as set forth in Paragraph 5.
However, the actual number of vested Shares to
be issued will be subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 5(b) pursuant to which any taxes
required to be withheld by the Company are to
be collected.

2. Limited Transferability. This Award, and any interest therein, shall not be
transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent
with this RSU Agreement and the Plan.

3. Cessation of Service. Should the Participant’s service Terminate for any reason prior
to vesting in one or more Shares subject to this Award, then the RSUs covering such unvested Shares
will be immediately thereafter cancelled and the Participant shall cease to have any right or
entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled RSUs.

C-1

 

4. Adjustment in Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any
stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination,
reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration or
if there is a change in the corporate structure, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to the
total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such
change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

5. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.

a. Within thirty (30) days following the applicable vesting date of any portion of the RSU,
the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in
electronic form) for the
applicable number of underlying shares of Common Stock that so vested, subject, however, to
the provisions of Paragraph 5(b) pursuant to which the applicable withholding taxes are to
be collected. In no event shall the date of settlement be later than two and one half (21/2)
months after the later of (i) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the applicable
vesting date occurs or (ii) the end of the calendar year in which the applicable vesting
date occurs.

b. The Participant hereby agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy
the applicable federal, state, local and foreign employment and income tax withholding
obligations of the Company or any Affiliate that arise in connection with this Award, to the
extent such withholdings are required by applicable law. Such applicable withholding shall
occur on or before the time the Participant receives a distribution of Common Stock or other
property pursuant to this Award, or at any time thereafter as reasonably requested by the
Company and/or any Affiliate. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, at its sole
discretion, to satisfy any such withholding obligation by (1) in the event the RSU is to be
settled in part in cash rather than settled in full in Shares, withholding from the cash to
be distributed to the Participant in settlement of this Award, (2) permitting the
Participant to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby the Participant
irrevocably elects to sell a portion of the Shares to be delivered under the Award to
satisfy the applicable tax withholdings and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
receipt of such Shares to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the tax withholdings
directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and (3) withholding Shares of Common Stock
that are otherwise to be issued and delivered to the Participant under this Award in
satisfaction of the withholdings contemplated by this Paragraph 6(b); provided, however,
that the amount of the Shares so withheld pursuant to alternative (3) shall not exceed the
amount necessary to satisfy the required tax withholding obligations using the minimum
statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes,
that are applicable to supplemental taxable income. In addition, to the extent this Award
is not settled in cash, the Company is authorized to satisfy any withholding obligation by
causing the Participant to tender a cash payment to the Company if the Committee determines
in good faith at the time the withholding obligation arises that withholding pursuant to the
foregoing alternatives (2) and (3) are not in the best interest of the Company or the
Participant. In the event the obligation of the Company and/or any Affiliate to withhold
arises prior to the delivery to the Participant of Common Stock or it is determined after
the delivery of Shares that the amount of the withholding obligation was greater than the
amount withheld by the Company and/or any Affiliate, the Participant shall indemnify and
hold the Company and its Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or any
Affiliate to withhold the proper amount.

c. In no event shall fractional shares be issued.

d. The holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights,
with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs until the Award holder becomes the record
holder of those Shares following their actual issuance and after the satisfaction of the
applicable withholding taxes.

6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

a. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the RSU shall be subject to compliance
by the Company and Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and
with all applicable

C-2

 

regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be
listed for trading at the time of such issuance.

b. The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority
deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Common Stock hereby
shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the Common
Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, shall
use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

7. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this RSU Agreement,
the provisions of this RSU Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
Company and its successors and assigns
and Participant, Participant’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of
Participant’s estate and any beneficiaries designated by Participant.

8. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of
this RSU Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate
offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant shall be in writing and
addressed to Participant at the address indicated below Participant’s signature line on this RSU
Agreement (as may be updated from time to time by written notice from the Participant). All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage
prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

9. Construction. This RSU Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted
pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. All
decisions of the Committee with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this RSU
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the RSU.

10. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this RSU Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s
conflict-of-laws rules.

11. Excess Shares. If the shares of Common Stock covered by this RSU Agreement exceed, as
of the date the RSU is granted, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder
approval be issued under the Plan, then the Award shall be void with respect to those excess
Shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

12. At Will Service. Nothing in this RSU Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon
Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company for any period of specific duration
or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or
Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly
reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s service with the Company at any time for any reason,
with or without cause.

13. Severability. The provisions of this RSU Agreement are severable and if any one or
more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the
remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

14. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any
documents related to participation in the Plan, RSUs granted under the Plan or future RSUs that may
be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request Participant’s consent to participate in
the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic
delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic
system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
