FY11 Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Plan

Job Category: Chief Executive Officer

Purpose:

Provide critical focus on specific, measurable corporate goals and provide
performance-based compensation based upon the level of attainment of such goals.

Bonus Target:

The target incentive bonus for this position is 150% of the annual base
salary. Annual base salary has been established at the beginning of the fiscal
year. Bonuses will be paid based on actual annual base salary earnings from time
of eligibility under the Plan through April 1, 2011. Payments will be subject to
applicable payroll taxes and withholdings.

Bonus Payments:

The annual incentive bonus will be paid once annually. Payment will be made
within six weeks after the end of the fiscal year but in the event the amount
cannot be calculated within such six weeks in no event may payments be made
later than 2-1/2 (two and a half) months after the end of the fiscal year. Any
payment due under this Plan is at the sole discretion of the Administrator of
the Plan.

Components:

Two performance metrics will be used to determine the annual incentive bonus
payment as determined by the Administrator.

Metric Weighting

Corporate Revenue

50

%

Corporate Earnings per Share

50

%

The Company153s reported numbers are based on GAAP Corporate Revenue &
non-GAAP EPS results.

Achievement Schedule:

The established threshold must be exceeded for the applicable performance
metric before the bonus applicable to such performance metric will be paid. Both
Corporate Revenue and Corporate EPS achievements are capped.

Pro-ration:

The calculation of the annual incentive bonus will be based on eligible base
salary earnings for the fiscal year and, subject to the eligibility requirements
below, will be pro-rated based on the number of days the participant is employed
as a regular status employee of Symantec during the fiscal year.

Eligibility:

Participants must be regular status employees on the day bonus checks are
distributed. If the Company grants an interim payment for any reason, the
participant must be a regular status employee at the end of that performance
period in order to receive such payment. A participant who leaves before the end
of the fiscal year will not be eligible to receive the annual incentive bonus or
any pro-rated portion thereof. The Plan participant must be a regular status
employee of Symantec at the end of the fiscal year in order to be eligible to
receive the annual incentive bonus and at the time the bonus checks are
distributed, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

To be eligible for the plan in the given fiscal year, participants must be in
an eligible position for at least 60 days before the end of the plan year.
Employees hired or promoted into an eligible position with less than 60 days in
the plan year will join the annual bonus plan in the next fiscal year.

Exchange Rates:

The performance metrics targets will not be adjusted for any fluctuating
currency exchange rates.
