This Transition Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Nicholas R. Noviello (“Executive”) and Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually referred to as a “Party”) and is effective as of the date it is signed by the Parties (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, Executive intends to resign from his employment with the Company on the day immediately following the final day of the Transition Period, or such earlier date determined by the Company (the “Resignation Date”); and

WHEREAS, Executive and Company both wish to ensure an orderly transition of Executive’s duties and responsibilities throughout the Transition Period;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Executive’s Resignation. Executive will resign from his employment with the Company as of the Resignation Date, and the Company shall process his voluntary termination accordingly. Executive agrees to execute any documentation deemed reasonably necessary by the Company to confirm Executive’s resignation from employment.

2.    Continued Employment; Transition Services. Beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement and through and including August 14, 2019 (the “Transition Period”), Executive agrees to provide the following transition services (the “Transition Services”): (1) continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer until such time as the Board of Directors of the Company determines that Executive shall no longer serve in such capacity and (2) provide reasonable transition services to the Company, or such other services as the Company may request, including, but not limited to, the transitioning of Executive’s responsibilities and assistance in the hiring of a new chief financial officer of the Company and the execution of the Company’s financial documents required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive’s employment during the period Executive provides the Transition Services shall continue to be “at-will,” meaning the Company and Executive are both free to terminate Executive’s employment with or without cause or notice. During the period Executive provides the Transition Services, Executive shall continue to receive his salary at the same rate and frequency that he was receiving his salary immediately prior to the Transition Period, and shall continue to be eligible to participate in then-available Company benefit programs at the same level as he would have been eligible to participate in such programs as of immediately

prior to the Transition Period, subject to the terms and conditions, including eligibility requirements, of such programs. If, at any time during the period Executive provides the Transition Services, the Company appoints a new chief financial officer, Executive will take all steps necessary at the Company’s request to relinquish the title of chief financial officer and continue providing such Transition Services as will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

3.    Consideration. In consideration of the Transition Services, and in connection with and in exchange for the Parties’ promises herein, including the restrictive covenants provision (Section 4), the Parties agree as follows:

(a)    Accrued Compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, in connection with any termination of employment, the Company shall pay Executive’s earned but unpaid base salary and other vested but unpaid cash entitlements, including unused earned vacation pay (if applicable) and unreimbursed documented business expenses incurred by Executive through and including the date of termination (collectively “Accrued Compensation and Expenses”). In addition, Executive shall be entitled to any other vested benefits earned by Executive for the period through and including the termination date of Executive’s employment under any other employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company, in accordance with the terms of such plans and arrangements (collectively “Accrued Benefits”). Any Accrued Compensation and Expenses to which Executive is entitled shall be paid to Executive in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the termination, and, in any event, no later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the end of the taxable year of Executive in which the termination occurs or at such earlier time as may be required by applicable law. Any Accrued Benefits to which Executive is entitled shall be paid to Executive as provided in the relevant plans and arrangements.

(b)    Base Salary Upon Qualifying Termination. If prior to the end of the Transition Period, Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined below), Executive resigns his employment for Constructive Termination (as defined below), Executive’s employment terminates as a result of death or Disability (as defined below) or Executive resigns his employment at the written request of the Company if such request is not for Cause (each, a “Qualifying Termination” and the date of termination of employment upon such Qualifying Termination, the “Qualifying Termination Date”), and subject to Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a Final Release (as defined below) by the Final Release Deadline (as defined below), Executive will be entitled to a lump sum payment of all unpaid base salary compensation to which he would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement from the Qualifying Termination Date through the end of the Transition Period.

(c)    FY19 Executive Annual Incentive Plan. Executive will continue to participate in the FY19 Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “FY19 EAIP”) and will remain eligible to receive a payment thereunder pursuant to the terms of the FY19 EAIP, but based solely on Company performance and without any application of negative discretion unless it is applied uniformly to all participants, each as determined by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee, at such time that the Company makes payment to all of its similarly situated

employees under the FY19 EAIP, provided that Executive remains employed through the payment date of such bonus, and except as set forth in this sentence, subject to the terms of such FY19 EAIP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to such payment date, Executive has a Qualifying Termination, any payment determined to be payable by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee will be made at such time that the Company makes payment to all of its similarly situated employees under the FY19 EAIP regardless of Executive’s employment on the payment date, provided Executive has executed and not revoked the Final Release prior to the Final Release Deadline. If, at any time prior to the payment of the FY19 EAIP bonus payment and the end of the Transition Period, Executive resigns his employment other than as a result of a Qualifying Termination, or his employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, he shall not be entitled to any payment under the FY19 EAIP.

(d)    FY20 Executive Annual Incentive Plan. Executive will be eligible to participate in any FY20 Executive Annual Incentive Plan adopted by the Company (the “FY20 EAIP”) and will be eligible to receive a payment thereunder pursuant to the terms of the FY20 EAIP.

(e)    RSUs & Options. Executive will continue to vest in Executive’s outstanding Company restricted stock unit awards (other than the performance-based restricted stock unit awards as set forth in subsections (f) and (g) below) (“RSUs”), in accordance with the terms of such RSUs through the end of the Transition Period, provided Executive continues to provide the Transition Services as of the applicable vesting date set forth in such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive has a Qualifying Termination before the end of the Transition Period, the vesting of Executive’s then outstanding RSUs will accelerate such that Executive will vest in the number of shares of Company common stock subject to each such RSU that would have vested had Executive remained employed through the Transition Period, provided Executive has executed and not revoked the Final Release prior to the Final Release Deadline. Any RSUs that are unvested at the end of the Transition Period will be forfeited. Any vested stock options held by Executive shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement and the Company’s equity plans under which the stock options were granted.

(f)    FY2017 PRSU. Executive will be entitled to vesting and settlement of 44,184 shares of Company common stock in accordance with the FY 2017 Amended and Restated Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, identified by Grant Number PC002016 (the “FY17 PRSU”), including Sections 4 and 6 of Appendix B of the FY17 PRSU; provided, however, that a Qualifying Termination shall be treated as an Involuntary Termination (as set forth in the FY17 PRSU) or a “qualifying termination” (as set forth in the FY17 PRSU) as of the last day of the Transition Period, subject to Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Final Release by the Final Release Deadline.

(g)    FY2018 PRSU & FY2019 PRSU (FCF) & FY2019 PRSU (EPS). Executive will be entitled to vesting and settlement of the shares of Company common stock in accordance with (i) the provisions of the FY2018 Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “FY18 PRSU”), including Sections 5, 6 and 9 of Appendix B thereof and satisfaction of any required performance metrics; (ii) the provisions of the FY19 Performance Restricted Stock Unit

(h)    Severance. Upon Executive’s termination of employment on the day immediately following the end of the Transition Period, or upon an earlier Qualifying Termination and, in each case subject to Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Final Release by the Final Release Deadline, Executive will be entitled to the severance and benefits pursuant to the Symantec Corporation Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) as follows:
