provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who directly or indirectly held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.01. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If Employee should die or become subject to a permanent disability while any amount is owed but unpaid to Employee hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid to Employee’s devisee, legatee, legal guardian or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to Employee’s estate. Employee’s rights hereunder shall not otherwise be assignable. This Agreement shall be binding on the Company’s successors and assigns.

Section 3.02. Dispute Resolution. To ensure rapid and economical resolution of any and all disputes that might arise in connection with this Agreement, Employee and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement or its enforcement, performance, breach, or interpretation, will be resolved solely and exclusively by final, binding, and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in San Francisco, California, and conducted by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under its then-existing employment rules and procedures. Nothing in this section, however, is intended to prevent either party from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Each party to an arbitration or litigation hereunder shall be responsible for the payment of its own attorneys’ fees.

Section 3.03. Unfunded Agreement. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement represent an unsecured, unfunded promise to pay benefits to Employee and/or Employee’s beneficiaries, and shall not entitle Employee or such beneficiaries to a preferential claim to any asset of the Company.

5

Section 3.04. Non-Exclusivity of Benefits. Unless specifically provided herein, neither the provisions of this Agreement nor the benefits provided hereunder shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish Employee’s rights as an employee of the Company, whether existing now or hereafter, under any compensation and/or benefit plans (qualified or nonqualified), programs, policies, or practices provided by the Company, for which Employee may qualify; provided that the Change in Control Severance Benefits shall not be duplicative of any severance benefits under any such plans, programs, policies or practices and that any amounts payable to Employee hereunder shall be reduced by any amounts paid to Employee as required by any applicable federal, state or local law (including without limitation the WARN Act) in connection with any termination of Employee’s employment. Vested benefits or other amounts which Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice, or program of the Company (i.e., including, but not limited to, vested benefits under any qualified or nonqualified retirement plan, but not including severance benefits), at or subsequent to the termination date shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice, or program except as expressly modified by this Agreement.

Section 3.05. Mitigation. In no event shall Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by Employee as a result of employment by another employer.

Section 3.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the offer letter, dated August     , 2011, between Employee and the Company, represents the entire agreement between Employee and the Company and its affiliates with respect to Employee’s severance rights in a Change in Control situation, and is primary to and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous discussions, negotiations, and agreements concerning such rights, including, but not limited to, any rights under the Company’s Executive Separation Policy.

Section 3.07. Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as are legally required to be withheld.

Section 3.08. Waiver of Rights. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver or as a consent to or waiver of any subsequent breach hereof.

Section 3.09. Severability. In the event any provision of the Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

Section 3.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

Section 3.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were on the same instrument.

Section 3.12. Code Section 409A. This Agreement and the payments and benefits hereunder are intended to qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code, and all regulations, rulings and other guidance issued thereunder, all as amended and in effect from time to time (“Section 409A”), described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent they do not so qualify, they are intended to qualify for the involuntary separation pay plan exception to Section 409A described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) to the maximum extent possible. To the extent Section 409A is applicable to this Agreement, this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the date of termination of employment Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A as determined in accordance with the Company’s procedures for making such determination, to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable under this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the termination date shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the termination date. All references herein to “termination date” or “termination of employment” shall mean separation from service as an employee within the meaning of Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Employee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

EXHIBIT A

GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

In consideration of the Change in Control Severance Payment to be paid to                     (“Employee”) by Blue Coat Systems, Inc. ( the “Company”), as described in the attached Executive Change in Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”), Employee, on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby fully and forever releases and discharges the Company and its past, present and future directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, predecessors, subsidiaries, parent, shareholders, employee benefit plans and assigns (together called “the Releasees”), from all known and unknown claims and causes of action including, without limitation, any claims or causes of action arising out of or relating in any way to Employee’s employment with the Company, including the termination of that employment.

Employee understands and agrees that this General Release of All Claims (the “Release”) is a full and complete waiver of all claims including, without limitation, claims of wrongful discharge, constructive discharge, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, harassment, retaliation, discrimination, violation of public policy, defamation, invasion of privacy, interference with a leave of absence, personal injury or emotional distress and claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), the California Labor Code, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act or any other federal or state law or regulation relating to employment or employment discrimination. Employee further understands and agrees that this waiver includes all claims, known and unknown, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Release does not apply to (x) claims which cannot be released as a matter of law, (y) any right Employee may have to enforce the Agreement or (z) Employee’s eligibility for indemnification in accordance with applicable laws, the charter and bylaws of the Company or any indemnification agreement or fiduciary insurance policy Employee has with the Company.

Employee also hereby agrees that nothing contained in this Release shall constitute or be treated as an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Releasees or Employee.

A-9

In addition, Employee hereby expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon Employee by the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect. Section 1542 states as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the

creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her

favor at the time of executing the release, which if known

by him or her must have materially affected his or her

settlement with the debtor.

If any provision of this Release is found to be unenforceable, it shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions and the court shall enforce all remaining provisions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

This Release constitutes the entire agreement between Employee and Releasees with regard to the subject matter of this Release. It supersedes any other agreements, representations or understandings, whether oral or written and whether express or implied, which relate to the subject matter of this Release. Employee understands and agrees that this Release may be modified only in a written document signed by Employee and a duly authorized officer of the Company.

Employee agrees that the Company shall have no duty to provide to Employee any severance benefits described in the Agreement unless and until Employee (a) has signed the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“PIIA”) and (b) has returned to the Company any and all of the Company’s property in Employee’s possession or under Employee’s control (including, but not limited to, cellular phones; computers; keys; credit cards; access badges; Company files or documents, including copies thereof; or facsimile machines). Employee further agrees that at all times in the future Employee shall remain bound by the PIIA.

Employee understands that Employee has the right to consult with an attorney before signing this Release. Employee also understands that Employee has [21/45] days after receipt of this Release to review and consider this Release, discuss it with an attorney of Employee’s own choosing, and decide to execute it or not execute it. Employee also understands that Employee may revoke this Release during a period of seven days after Employee signs it and that this Release will not become effective for seven days after Employee signs it (and then only if Employee does not revoke it). In order to revoke this Release, within seven days after Employee executes this Release Employee must deliver to                     at the Company a letter stating that Employee is revoking it. Employee understands that if Employee chooses to revoke this Release within seven days after Employee signs it, Employee will not receive any Change in Control Severance Payment and the Release will have no effect.
