PACKETEER, INC.
CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

     This Change in Control Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into, effective as of March 26, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Packeteer, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and _________, an individual (“Executive”).

RECITALS

     A. Executive presently serves as the __________________ of the Company and performs significant strategic and management responsibilities necessary to the continued conduct of the Company’s business and operations.

     B. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has determined at its meeting held on July 19, 2006 that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility or occurrence in the future of a Change in Control affecting the continued employment of Executive.

     C. The Committee believes that it is important to provide Executive with certain severance benefits upon the circumstances described below, in order to provide Executive with enhanced financial security and to provide sufficient incentive and encouragement to Executive to remain with the Company, even though there is no Change in Control pending at this time.

     4. Treatment of Equity Awards Upon a Change in Control

     The treatment of Equity Awards held by Executive immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the plans or agreements providing for such awards, provided that all amounts pursuant to any such Equity Award that constitutes Section 409A Deferred Compensation shall be subject to, limited by and construed in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

     5. Termination Upon a Change in Control

     In the event of Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits described in this Section 5. The provision, time and manner of payment or distribution of all such compensation and benefits that constitute

          5.1 Accrued Obligations. Executive shall be entitled to receive:

               (a) all salary, bonuses, commissions and accrued but unused vacation earned through the date of Executive’s termination of employment;

               (b) reimbursement within ten (10) business days of submission, within three (3) months following Executive’s termination of employment, of proper expense reports of all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company Group prior to his termination of employment; and

               (c) the benefits, if any, under any Company Group retirement plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plan, Equity Award plan or agreement (other than any such plan or agreement pertaining to Equity Awards whose treatment is prescribed by Section 5.3 below), health benefits plan or other Company Group benefit plan to which Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms of such plans or agreements.

For the purposes of this Section, notwithstanding any terms of the applicable bonus plan, program or agreement to the contrary, Executive shall be deemed to earn effective as of the last day of the applicable bonus performance period the amount of any bonus to which Executive is entitled (on the basis of the extent to which applicable performance goals have been attained), notwithstanding that the Company’s bonus payment date for such performance period has not yet occurred as of the date of Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control.

          5.2 Cash Severance Payments. Provided that within sixty (60) days following Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, Executive executes the Release and the period for revocation of the Release has expired without the Release having been revoked, Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to Executive’s Base Salary Rate multiplied by eighteen (18). The Company shall pay such amount to Executive in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) business days following the last to occur of (i) Executive’s termination of employment or (ii) the last day on which Executive may revoke the Release in accordance with its terms.

          5.3 Acceleration of Vesting of Equity Awards. Subject to Executive’s execution and nonrevocation of the Release as provided in Section 5.2, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any plan or agreement evidencing an Equity Award granted to Executive other than an Excluded Agreement, the vesting and/or exercisability of each of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards shall be accelerated to the extent provided below, effective as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment; provided, however, that such acceleration of vesting and/or exercisability shall not apply to any Equity Award where such acceleration would result in plan disqualification or would otherwise be contrary to applicable law (e.g., an employee stock purchase plan intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code).

               (a) The vesting and/or exercisability of each of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards providing for an exercise or purchase price equal to or greater the fair market value, determined as of the date of grant of such award in accordance with the terms

of the applicable plan or agreement, of the shares of stock subject to such award shall be accelerated in full.

               (b) The vesting and/or exercisability of each of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards (other than an Equity Award evidenced by an Excluded Agreement) not providing for an exercise or purchase price at least equal to the fair market value, determined as of the date of grant of such award in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or agreement, of the shares of stock subject to such award shall be accelerated with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the portions of such awards remaining unvested as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment.

          5.4 Health, Life Insurance and Long-Term Disability Benefits. Subject to Executive’s execution and nonrevocation of the Release as provided in Section 5.2, for the twelve-month period commencing immediately following Executive’s termination of employment, the Company shall arrange to provide Executive and his dependents with health (including medical and dental), life insurance and long-term disability benefits substantially similar to those provided to Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. Such benefits shall be provided to Executive at the same premium cost to Executive and at the same coverage level as in effect as of Executive’s termination of employment; provided, however, that Executive shall be subject to any change in the premium cost and/or level of coverage applicable generally to all employees holding the position or comparable position with the Company which Executive held immediately prior to the Change in Control. The Company may satisfy its obligation to provide a continuation of health benefits by paying that portion of Executive’s premiums required under COBRA that exceed the amount of premiums that Executive would have been required to pay for continuing coverage had he or she continued in employment. If the Company is not reasonably able to continue health, life insurance and/or long-term disability benefits coverage under the Company’s benefit plans, the Company shall provide substantially equivalent coverage under other sources or will reimburse (without a tax gross-up) Executive for premiums (in excess of Executive’s premium cost described above) incurred by Executive to obtain his own such coverage. If Executive and/or Executive’s dependents become eligible to receive any such coverage under another employer’s benefit plans during such twelve-month period, Executive shall report such eligibility to the Company, and the Company’s obligations under this subsection shall be secondary to the coverage provided by such other employer’s plans. For the balance of any additional period during which Executive is entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA, Executive shall be entitled to maintain coverage for himself and Executive’s eligible dependents at Executive’s own expense.

          5.5 Indemnification; Insurance.

               (a) In addition to any rights Executive may have under any indemnification agreement previously entered into between the Company and Executive (a “Prior Indemnity Agreement”), from and after the date of Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director,

officer, employee or agent of the Company Group, or is or was serving at the request of the Company Group as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the date of Executive’s termination of employment, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and the Company shall also advance fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as incurred by Executive to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of a Prior Indemnity Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement, Executive may elect which provisions shall govern. The following procedures shall govern Executive’s rights under this Section 5.5(a):

                    (1) Within forty-five (45) days after Executive incurs any expense for which Executive is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) (or, if later, within thirty (30) days after Executive receives an invoice or other statement of such expense), Executive shall notify the Company in writing of the nature and dollar amount of that expense (including copies of invoices or statements documenting such expense), and the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for such expense or, if requested by Executive, make direct payment of the expense on Executive’s behalf.

                    (2) Within forty-five (45) days after Executive has received written notification that Executive is subject to any judgment, fine, penalty, settlement amount or other assessment for which Executive is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) (each, a “Liability”), Executive shall notify the Company of the nature of that Liability and the dollar amount thereof (including documentary evidence of such Liability), and the Company shall promptly pay Executive the amount thereof for which Executive is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5(a).

               (b) For a period of six (6) years from and after the date of Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, the Company shall maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of Executive which provides him with coverage no less favorable than that provided for the Company’s continuing officers and directors.

     6. Certain Federal Tax Considerations

          6.1 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code

               (a) Treatment of Excess Parachute Payments. In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) would subject Executive to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar or successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), due to the characterization of the Payments as “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code or any similar or successor provision (“Section 280G”), then, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the amount of the Payments shall not exceed the amount which produces the greatest after-tax benefit to Executive.

               (b) Determination of Amounts.

                    (1) Determination by Accountants. All computations and determinations called for by this Section 6.1 shall be promptly determined and reported in

writing to the Company and Executive by independent public accountants selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (the “Accountants”), and all such computations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. For the purposes of such determinations, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determinations. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses charged by the Accountants in connection with such services.

                    (2) Determination of Excise Tax. For purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax:

                         (i) Any payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive in connection with transactions contemplated by a Change in Control event or Executive’s termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company), shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of the Accountants such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Section 280G, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax.

                         (ii) The amount of the Payments which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the total amount of the Payments or (B) the amount of the excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G (after applying Section 6.1(b)(2)(i) above).

                         (iii) The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G.

          6.2 Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provision, time and manner of payment or distribution of all compensation and benefits provided by this Agreement that constitute Section 409A Deferred Compensation shall be subject to, limited by and construed in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including the following:

               (a) Separation from Service. Payments and benefits constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation otherwise payable or provided pursuant to Section 5 upon Executive’s termination of employment shall be paid or provided only at the time of a termination of Executive’s employment which constitutes a Separation from Service.

               (b) Six-Month Delay Applicable to Specified Employees. Payments and benefits constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation to be paid or provided pursuant

to Section 5 upon the Separation from Service of Executive who is a Specified Employee shall be paid or provided commencing on the later of (1) the date that is six (6) months after the date of such Separation from Service or, if earlier, the date of death of Executive (in either case, the “Delayed Payment Date”), or (2) the date or dates on which such Section 409A Deferred Compensation would otherwise be paid or provided in accordance with Section 5. All such amounts that would, but for this Section 6.2(b), become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

               (c) Heath, Life Insurance and Long-Term Disability Benefits. In the event that all or any of the health, life insurance or long-term disability benefits to be provided pursuant to Section 5.4 as a result of Executive’s Separation from Service constitute Section 409A Deferred Compensation, the Company shall provide for such benefits constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation in a manner that complies with Section 409A. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, the Company shall determine the premium cost (net of the portion of such premium cost required to be paid by Executive pursuant to this Agreement) necessary to provide such benefits constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation for the applicable twelve-month period and shall pay each such net premium cost which becomes due and payable during such period on the applicable due date for such premium; provided, however, that if Executive is a Specified Employee, the Company shall not pay any such net premium cost until the Delayed Payment Date. If the Company’s payment pursuant to the previous sentence is subject to a Delayed Payment Date, Executive shall pay the net premium cost otherwise payable by the Company prior to the Delayed Payment Date, and on the Delayed Payment Date the Company shall reimburse Executive for such Company net premium cost paid by Executive and shall pay the balance of the Company’s net premium cost necessary to provide such benefit coverage for the remainder of the applicable twelve-month period as and when it becomes due and payable over such period.

               (d) Equity Awards. The vesting of any Equity Awards which constitute Section 409A Deferred Compensation and are held by Executive who is a Specified Employee shall be accelerated in accordance with Section 5.3 to the extent applicable; provided, however, that the payment in settlement of any such awards shall occur on the Delayed Payment Date.

      7. Conflict in Benefits; Noncumulation of Benefits

          7.1 Effect of Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall supersede all prior arrangements, whether written or oral, and understandings regarding the subject matter of this Agreement other than any Excluded Agreement entered into prior to the effective date hereof.

          7.2 Noncumulation of Benefits. This Agreement shall be the exclusive agreement for the determination of any payments and benefits due to Executive upon the events described in Sections 3 and 5, except for those payments and benefits due to Executive pursuant to any Excluded Agreement. The total amount of payments and benefits that may be received by Executive as a result of the events described in Section 5 pursuant to (a) this Agreement, (b) any other agreement between Executive and the Company (other than any Excluded Agreement) or (c) any other plan, practice or statutory obligation of the Company, shall not exceed the amount

of payments and benefits provided by this Agreement upon such events (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant to a Prior Indemnity Agreement, as described in Section 5.5(a)), and the aggregate amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent of any excess (but not below zero).

     8. Exclusive Remedy

     The payments and benefits provided by Section 5 (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant to a Prior Indemnity Agreement, as described in Section 5.5(a)), if applicable, shall constitute Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy for any alleged injury or other damages arising out of the cessation of the employment relationship between Executive and the Company in the event of Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control. Executive shall be entitled to no other compensation, benefits, or other payments from the Company as a result of Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control with respect to which the payments and benefits described in Section 5 (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant to a Prior Indemnity Agreement), if applicable, have been provided to Executive, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, in a duly executed employment agreement between Company and Executive.

     9. Proprietary and Confidential Information

     Executive agrees to continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the confidentiality and/or proprietary rights agreement between Executive and the Company or any other member of the Company Group.

     10. Nonsolicitation

     If the Company performs its obligations to deliver the payments and benefits set forth in Section 5 (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant to an agreement evidencing an Equity Award or a Prior Indemnity Agreement), then for a period equal to twelve (12) months following Executive’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly (a) solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who is an employee of or consultant to the Company to cease or curtail his or her relationship with the Company, or (b) request, advise or induce any of the customers, suppliers, distributors, vendors or other business contacts of the Company with which Employee had contact while employed by the Company to withdraw, curtail, cancel or not increase their business with the Company.

     11. No Contract of Employment

     Neither this Agreement, nor any amendment thereto, nor the payment or provision of any benefits shall be construed as giving Executive the right to be retained by the Company, a Successor or any other member of the Company Group. Except as otherwise established in an employment agreement between the Company and Executive, the employment relationship between Executive and the Company is an “at-will” relationship. Accordingly, either Executive or the Company may terminate the relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice except as otherwise provided by Section 15. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall in any manner obligate any Successor or other member of the Company Group

to offer employment to Executive or to continue the employment of Executive if it does not hire Executive for any specific duration of time.

In no event shall such extension exceed ninety (90) days.

               (c) If a claim for Benefits is denied, the claimant, at the claimant’s sole expense, may appeal the denial to the Committee (the “Appeals Administrator”) within
