ArcSight FY11 Sales Compensation Plan

EXHIBIT A — Specific Terms and Conditions

Senior Vice President, Field Operations

CALCULATION OF COMMISSIONS¹

I.

Revenue Commissions: Revenue Commissions are calculated based on achievement by the Company of the quarterly Revenue target specified in the Company’s fiscal 2011 internal operating plan (“Revenue Target”). The Commissions for each percentage of achievement of the Revenue Target are calculated as follows:

	•		provided that actual Revenues exceed 90% of the Revenue Target for the quarter, $250 multiplied by the percentage of Revenue Target achieved up to 95%; plus
	•		$1,250 multiplied by the percentage of Revenue Target achieved in excess of 95% up to 100%; plus
	•		$3,000 multiplied by the percentage of Revenue Target achieved in excess of 100% up to 105%; plus
	•		$6,000 multiplied by the percentage of Revenue Target achieved in excess of 105%,

in each case, where the percentage of Revenue Target achieved and the percentages defining each range of performance above are rounded down to the nearest tenth of a percent and multiplied by 100.

II. Quarterly Revenue Bonus: Quarterly Revenue Bonuses will be paid for achieving Revenue at least equal to Q1 Revenue Target, Q2 Revenue Target, Q3 Revenue Target, and Q4 Revenue Target. A Plan participant will be eligible for a Quarterly Revenue Bonus only if the Plan participant was employed by ArcSight on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter.

III. Margin Contribution Bonus: Each quarter the Commission amount attributable to operating expense/contribution margin will be determined by either incurring actual sales operating expenses less than or equal to the sales operating expense target specified for such quarter in the Company’s fiscal 2011 internal operating plan or achieving actual sales contribution margins equal to or greater than the sales contribution margin target specified for such quarter in the Company’s fiscal 2011 internal operating plan. The quarterly bonus will vary depending on the level of Revenue achieved relative to the year-to-date Revenue Target. For example, in Q1 if the Revenue achieved equaled 102% of the year-to-date Revenue Target and either the actual operating costs were less than target or the actual contribution margin was greater than target, then the bonus earned would be equal to the “>100 — ≤105%” amount described on the cover page of this Plan.

IV. Stock in Lieu of Cash: On the recommendation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and approval by the Compensation Committee, all or a portion of the Revenue commissions under Section I or the margin contribution bonus under Section III, in each case that are payable at the greater than 100% level, may be paid in the form of a “Stock Bonus Award” under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (as such term is defined therein) in lieu of payment in cash.
