2000 Directors Equity Incentive Plan – Symantec

SYMANTEC CORPORATION

2000 DIRECTOR EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

(as amended and restated on April 26, 2011

and subject to stockholder approval)

1. Purpose. The purpose of this Symantec Corporation 2000
Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide members of the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) with an
opportunity to receive common stock of the Company for all or a portion of the
retainer payable to each director of the Company (the “Retainer”).

2. Stock Issuance. Subject to the approval of this Plan by
the stockholders of the Company, any or all of the Retainer payable to each
director of the Company, currently set at $50,000 per year, may be payable in
the form of an award of unrestricted, fully-vested shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Stock”).

3. Election by Directors. Each Director shall, at the first
meeting of the Board held after stockholder approval of this Plan and thereafter
at the first meeting of the Board held in each fiscal year beginning with fiscal
year 2002, elect to receive up to all of the Retainer payable to such director
in the form of Stock. Each director shall specify what portion, from 0% to 100%,
of the Retainer shall be paid to such director in Stock; provided, that if no
election is made by a director at such meeting, such director shall be deemed to
have elected to receive 50% of the Retainer in Stock.

4. Amount of Stock. The number of shares of Stock to be
issued each year to each director pursuant to this Plan shall be the portion, if
any, of the Retainer for such year which the director has elected (or deemed to
have elected) to be paid in Stock, divided by the fair market value of the
common stock of the Company on the date such election is made (or deemed to have
been made) by such director (the “Fair Market Value”).

5. Number of Shares. The total number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan shall be 200,000 shares of common stock. In the event
that the number of outstanding shares of the Company153s common stock 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, then (a) the number of shares
reserved for issuance under this Plan, and (b) the Stock subject to outstanding
awards under this Plan, 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 of
Stock 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 Administrator (defined below).

6. Administration of Plan. This Plan shall be administered
by the Board or by a committee of at least two Board members to which
administration of the Plan is delegated by the Board (in either case, the
“Administrator”). The Administrator shall ratify and approve all awards of Stock
to the directors pursuant to this Plan. All questions of interpretation,
implementation, and application of this Plan shall be determined by the
Administrator. Such determinations shall be final and binding on all persons.

7. Amendment to the Plan. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or discontinue this Plan. No amendment, alteration, suspension or
discontinuance shall require shareholder approval unless such amendment would
increase the number of shares of Stock issuable under this Plan.
