Executive Annual Incentive Plan

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Sourcefire, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 6, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “Executive Annual Incentive Plan”).

In April 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the Executive Annual Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval, to be effective as of January 1, 2014, under which the Company’s executive officers and other participating employees may earn incentive cash bonus awards based on the achievement of goals relating to Company or individual performance. Stockholder approval of the Executive Annual Incentive Plan is intended to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”), which governs the Company’s ability to take deductions for compensation provided to specific senior executives. Additional information regarding the results of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders is set forth below under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Description of the Executive Annual Incentive Plan

Administration. The Executive Annual Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) or such other committee designated by the Board that consists solely of two or more directors, each of whom are “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m).

Eligibility. Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Annual Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee designates the executive officers and other participating employees that are eligible to receive cash awards based upon the attainment of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee over the applicable performance period. For 2014, the Company estimates that approximately eight people will be eligible to participate in the Executive Annual Incentive Plan.

Performance Goals. The amounts earned under the plan will be based on the degree of achievement of performance goals selected by the Compensation Committee, with performance measured over specified performance periods. The performance periods will be determined by the Compensation Committee. Performance goals will provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement using one or more of the following measures: (a) increase in share price, (b) earnings per share, (c) total stockholder return, (d) operating margin or operating margin contribution, (e) gross margin or gross margin contribution, (f) return on equity, (g) return on assets, (h) return on investment, (i) operating income, (j) net operating income, (k) pre-tax income, (l) cash flow, (m) revenue, (n) expenses, (o) sales or bookings, (p) economic value added, (q) market share, (r) corporate overhead costs, (s) return on capital invested, (t) stockholders’ equity, (u) income before income tax expense, (v) residual earnings after reduction for certain compensation expenses, (w) net income, (x) profitability of an identifiable business unit or product, (y) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITD), (z) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), (aa) net cash provided by operating activities, (bb) free cash flow, which is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, (cc) adjusted net income, which is calculated as net income minus stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related expenses and may be further adjusted to reflect an assumed tax rate of 35% or such other rate as determined by the Compensation Committee, (dd) adjusted net income per share, (ee) adjusted operating income, which is calculated as net income or loss before interest income or expense, income taxes and non-cash stock-based


compensation expense and excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related expenses, and (ff) adjusted operating margin, which is adjusted operating income as a percentage of total revenue.

Performance goals used for awards that are not intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) may also be based on individual objectives and any other goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may also take into account individual objectives and any other goals established by the Compensation Committee when exercising negative discretion (to reduce or eliminate the amount payable pursuant to an award) with respect to awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation. The performance goals may be applicable to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or individual business units or an individual participant or team and may differ from participant to participant. Performance goals may be expressed in absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more other companies or an index covering multiple companies.

To the extent a performance goal relates to an award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m), the performance goal will be objectively determinable. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to make appropriate adjustments in performance goal(s) to take into account any of the following events that occur during a performance period: (a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) accruals for discontinued operations, reorganization and restructuring programs, (e) stock-based compensation charges, (f) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition related expenses, and/or (g) the impact of any other unusual, non-recurring or otherwise extraordinary items not reflected in such goals. Any such adjustments relating to awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation will be pre-approved in a manner intended to satisfy the pre-approval requirements under Section 162(m).

Each year, the Compensation Committee will establish (i) the target award opportunities under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan for each participant; (ii) the performance goals for each participant; and (iii) the weight of each performance goal in calculating a participant’s award. Awards will then be determined based on a comparison of actual performance to the performance goals during the performance period. A participant may earn his or her target bonus award if the performance goals for such participant are achieved. If performance goals are exceeded, the participant may earn an award greater than the target award. However, if performance goals are not met, the participant may earn an award, if any, that is less than the target award.

The maximum award amount that may be paid to any executive under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan for any given year during the performance period shall be $3,000,000.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Executive Annual Incentive Plan at any time, and the Compensation Committee may alter the terms and conditions under which the bonus awards are set, calculated, or paid. The Compensation Committee also retains the discretion to eliminate or reduce (or, with respect to awards other than awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation, increase) any award that would otherwise be payable pursuant to the Executive Annual Incentive Plan.

Plan Benefits. No awards have been granted under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan. Any future awards under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan will be granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In addition, benefits under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan will depend on a number of factors, as discussed above. Consequently it is not possible to determine the benefits that might be received by participants under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan.


The foregoing description of the Executive Annual Incentive Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Executive Annual Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
