7.4.2 acceleration of the vesting of the greater of:
(a) twelve (12) months vesting of the Employee's then outstanding unvested time-based equity awards, or

The Release Deadline will in no event be later than 50 days after the Employee's separation. If the Employee fails to return the release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke he release, then the Employee will not be entitled to the benefits described in sub-section 7.4 above. The Change in Control Severance Benefits will be paid in lump sum following the effectiveness of the release within 60 days after the Employee's separation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 60-day period described in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years and/or if the Employee's Change in Control Severance Benefits are Deferred Payments (as defined below), then the payments will be paid in lump sum on the 60th day following the Employee's termination of employment, subject to section 7.6 below.
7.6 Section 280G. If any payments and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the US
Internal Revenue Code and, but for this section 7.6, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the US Internal Revenue Code, then payments and other benefits will be payable to the Employee either in full or in such lesser amounts as would result, after taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, on the Employee's receipt on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of payments and other benefits, by reducing payments in the following order: (i) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options that are out-of-the-money; (ii) reduction in cash payments;(iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of all equity awards that are not out-of-the-money stock options; and (iv) other employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant.
7.7 Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of employment will be determined consistent with the rules relating to a "separation from service" as defined in Section 409A of the US Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder ("Section 409A"). Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, to the extent any payments provided under this Agreement in connection with the Employee's termination of employment constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A ("Deferred Payments"), and the Employee is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a "specified employee" under Section 409A, then such payment shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the Employee's separation from service from the Company or (ii) the date of the Employee's death following such a separation from service; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to the Employee including, without limitation, the additional tax for which the Employee would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(l)(B) in the absence of such a deferral. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A. To the extent any payment under this Agreement may be classified as a "short-term deferral" within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this Agreement are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
7.8 Definitions.
i. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean: (a.) a material reduction in the Employee's authority, status, obligations or responsibilities, provided that following a Change in Control a change in title alone (not accompanied by a change in authority, status, obligations or responsibilities) shall not constitute a material reduction; (b.) a reduction of the Employee's total annual compensation of more than 10% unless such reduction is no greater (in percentage terms) than compensation reductions imposed on substantially all of the Company's employees pursuant to a directive of the Board; (c.) any failure by the Company to pay the Employee's base salary; or (d.) the relocation of the principal place of the Company's business to a location that is more than thirty-five (35) miles further from the Employee's home than before the relocation. The Employee's resignation must occur within 12 months after one of the foregoing conditions has come into existence without the Employee's consent. A resignation for Good Reason will not be
deemed to have occurred unless the Employee gives the Company written notice of the condition within 90 days after the condition comes into existence and the Company fails to remedy the condition within 30 days after receiving the Employee's written notice.
ii. For purposes of this Agreement, "Change in Control" shall mean: (a.) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (b.) any sale or exchange of the capital stock of the Company by the stockholders of the Company in one transaction or series of related transactions where more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company is acquired by a person or entity or group of related persons or entities; (c.) any reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company where the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately before the transaction represent or are converted into less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity ( or its parent corporation) immediately after the transaction; or (d.) the consummation of the acquisition of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the outstanding stock of the Company pursuant to a tender offer validly made under any federal or state law ( other than a tender offer by the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A of the US Internal Revenue Code.
