Restated Executive Employment Agreement with James F. Brear

On December 4, 2012, Procera Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Restated Executive Employment Agreement with James F. Brear, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Restated Brear Agreement”). The Restated Brear Agreement amends and restates the Executive Employment Agreement, dated February 6, 2008, by and between the Company and Mr. Brear.

The Restated Brear Agreement provides that Mr. Brear’s initial annual base salary shall be $345,000, which will increase to $360,000, effective January 1, 2013. Mr. Brear will continue to be eligible to receive an annual discretionary target bonus of 80% of his annual base salary based upon a set of objectives mutually agreed to by Mr. Brear and the Company’s Board of Directors in the first month of each fiscal year.

Under the Restated Brear Agreement, if the Company terminates Mr. Brear’s employment without “Cause” or if Mr. Brear resigns for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Restated Brear Agreement), subject to Mr. Brear’s agreement to release any claims against the Company, Mr. Brear will be entitled to receive certain severance benefits, including: (i) a cash severance equal to 180% of his annual base salary, payable over 12 months; (ii) health insurance and other employee benefits for him and his eligible dependents for up to 12 months following such termination; (iii) the pro rata portion of his bonus earned for the year of termination; and (iv) if the termination occurs within twelve months after a “Change in Control” of the Company (as defined in the Restated Brear Agreement), the unvested portion of all outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Brear will immediately become fully vested; otherwise, the vesting of each equity award held by Mr. Brear shall be accelerated by 12 months and, if any of Mr. Brear’s equity awards are less than 100% vested after giving effect to the additional vesting, each vesting cliff for such award will be eliminated and the award shall be deemed to have vested on a pro rata daily basis measured from the vesting commencement date of the award.

Under the Restated Brear Agreement, Mr. Brear will also be entitled to receive certain benefits upon his death or termination for disability, including receipt of accrued salary, bonus and vacation, and payment of the pro rata amount of any bonus earned for the year of termination. In addition, if any of Mr. Brear’s equity awards are less than 100% vested as of the date of his death or termination for disability, each vesting cliff for such award will be eliminated and the award shall be deemed to have vested on a pro rata daily basis measured from the vesting commencement date through the date of his death or termination for disability.

The foregoing description of the material amendments contained in the Restated Brear Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Restated Brear Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Restated Constanti Agreement provides that Mr. Constanti’s initial annual base salary shall be $250,000, which will increase to $260,000, effective January 1, 2013. Mr. Constanti will continue to be eligible to receive an annual discretionary target bonus of 60% of his annual base salary based upon a set of objectives mutually agreed to by Mr. Constanti and the Company’s Board of Directors in the first month of each fiscal year.
