PROXY STATEMENT
FOR 2011 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2011 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROCEDURAL MATTERS

The 2011 Annual Meeting will be held at Fortinet’s principal executive offices, located at 1090 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, CA 94086. The telephone number at that location is (408) 235-7700.

As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.

Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of our annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If your shares are held by a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice is being forwarded to you together with voting instructions on behalf of your broker, trustee or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote, and you are also invited to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares. Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2011 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2011 Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares through a broker and do not provide your broker with specific voting instructions, under the rules that govern brokers in such circumstances, your broker will have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. Even though we are a NASDAQ-listed company, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules govern how a broker licensed by the NYSE can vote shares it holds on behalf of stockholders of NASDAQ-listed companies. As a result:

Because the proposals to be acted upon at the 2011 Annual Meeting include both routine and non-routine matters, if you do not give voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee, your broker, trustee or nominee may either (1) vote your shares on routine matters or (2) leave your shares unvoted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

By mail — You may request a proxy card from Fortinet and indicate your vote by completing, signing and dating the card where indicated and by returning it in the prepaid envelope that will be included with the proxy card. Please follow the procedures outlined in the Notice to request a paper proxy card.

By Internet — Stockholders of record of Fortinet common stock with Internet access may submit proxies by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions described in the Notice until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on June 22, 2011 or by following the instructions at www.proxyvoting.com/ftnt. Most Fortinet stockholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may vote by accessing the web site specified in the voting instructions provided by their brokers, trustees or nominees. Please check the voting instructions for Internet voting availability.

By telephone — Depending on how your shares are held, you may be able to vote by telephone. If this option is available to you, you will have received information with the Notice or the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee explaining this procedure.

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote and therefore, are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the 2011 Annual Meeting.

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock that is present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal Two), approve the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal Three), approve the advisory resolution on executive compensation (Proposal Four) and approve the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation (Proposal Five).

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on the proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal Two), approve the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal Three), approve an advisory resolution on executive compensation (Proposal Four). You may vote “1 YEAR,” “2 YEARS,” “3 YEARS” or “ABSTAIN” on the advisory resolution with respect to the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. Abstentions are deemed to be shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and have the same effect as a vote against these proposals. However, broker non-votes are not deemed to be shares entitled to vote and, therefore, are not included in the tabulation of the voting results on these proposals.

All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly submitted proxies received prior to the 2011 Annual Meeting (and not revoked) will be voted at the 2011 Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated by such proxy. If no instructions are indicated on such proxy, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your vote (1) by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the methods described above (and until the applicable deadline for each method), (2) by providing a written notice of revocation to Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary at Fortinet, Inc., 1090 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 prior to your shares being voted, or (3) by attending the 2011 Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may change your vote by (1) submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee or (2) if you have obtained a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2011 Annual Meeting and voting in person.

If a broker, trustee or nominee beneficially holds your shares in street name and you wish to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. If you are a beneficial owner and you wish to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting but do not intend to vote in person or revoke your prior voting instructions, you do not need to obtain a legal proxy but you will need to bring proof of ownership and photo identification.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur.

For inclusion in Fortinet’s proxy materials — Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in Fortinet’s proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary in a timely manner. In order to be included in the proxy statement for the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholder proposals must be received by Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary no later than December 31, 2011, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

To be brought before the annual meeting — In addition, Fortinet’s bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present certain matters before an annual meeting of stockholders.

In general, nominations for the election of directors may be made (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (2) by a stockholder who has delivered written notice to Fortinet’s Secretary within the Notice Period (as defined below) and who was a stockholder at the time of such notice and as of the record date. The notice must contain specified information about the nominees and about the stockholder proposing such nominations.

Fortinet’s bylaws also provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (1) properly brought before the meeting pursuant to Fortinet’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (2) properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (3) properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who has delivered written notice to Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary at its principal executive offices within the Notice Period (as defined below) and who was a stockholder at the time of such notice and as of the record date. The notice must contain specified information about the matters to be brought before such meeting and about the stockholder proposing such matters.

The “Notice Period” is defined as that period not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the one year anniversary of the date on which Fortinet mailed its proxy materials or the Notice (whichever is earlier) to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. As a result, the Notice Period for the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders will start on February 14, 2012 and end on March 15, 2012.

If a stockholder who has notified Fortinet of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to present his or her proposal at such meeting, Fortinet need not present the proposal for vote at such meeting.

A copy of the full text of the bylaw provisions discussed above may be obtained by writing to Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices or by accessing Fortinet’s filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All notices of proposals by stockholders, whether or not included in Fortinet’s proxy materials, should be sent to Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices.

PROPOSAL ONE
  
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven members who are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Each director holds office until that director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Our bylaws permit our Board of Directors to establish by resolution the authorized number of directors, and seven directors are currently authorized. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one third of the directors.

Nominees

Two candidates have been nominated for election as Class II directors at the 2011 Annual Meeting for a three-year term expiring in 2014. Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated John Walecka and Michael Xie for election as Class II directors. Biographical information about each of the nominees is contained in the following section. A discussion of the qualifications, attributes and skills of each nominee that led our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to the conclusion that he should continue to serve as a director has been added following each of the director and nominee biographies.

Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable to serve. In the event any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the 2011 Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who may be proposed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy.

If you sign your proxy or voting instruction card or vote by telephone or over the Internet but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted for the two persons recommended by our Board of Directors. If you wish to give specific instructions with respect to the voting of directors, you may do so by indicating your instructions on your proxy or voting instruction card or when you vote by telephone or over the Internet. If you do not give voting instructions to your broker, your broker will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR THE ELECTION OF JOHN WALECKA AND MICHAEL XIE.

PROPOSAL THREE
  
APPROVAL OF THE 2011 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The stockholders are being asked to approve a new employee stock purchase plan, the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). The proposed Purchase Plan will be a significant part of our overall equity compensation strategy, especially with respect to our non-executive employees. The proposed Purchase Plan will be one of the primary programs through which our employees may achieve ownership in our company and thereby share in our success. The Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of Fortinet and its stockholders to have an employee stock purchase plan and is asking Fortinet’s stockholders to approve the Purchase Plan. The Board of Directors has adopted the Purchase Plan and has reserved a total of 4,000,000 shares of Fortinet’s common stock for purchase under the Purchase Plan, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. As of the date hereof, no rights to purchase shares of our common stock have been granted pursuant to the Purchase Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2011 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN AND THE NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER.

Summary of the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The following is a summary of the principal features of the Purchase Plan and its operation. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the Purchase Plan, which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

General

The Purchase Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2011, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The purpose of the Purchase Plan is to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of Fortinet’s common stock through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan permits the Administrator to grant rights that qualify for preferential tax treatment under Section 423 and rights that do not so qualify.

Shares Available for Issuance

If our stockholders approve this proposal, a total of 4,000,000 shares of Fortinet’s common stock will be reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. For clarity, this number does not reflect the stock split as announced by Fortinet on April 27, 2011. Accordingly, a total of 8,000,000 shares of Fortinet’s common stock would be reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan subsequent to the announced stock split.

Administration

The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (referred to herein as the “Administrator”) administers the Purchase Plan. All questions of interpretation or application of the Purchase Plan are determined by the Administrator and its decisions are final and binding upon all participants.

Eligibility

Each of Fortinet’s (or Fortinet’s designated subsidiaries and affiliates) employees is eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan, except that no employee will be eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan to the extent that (i) immediately after the grant, such employee would own 5% or more of Fortinet’s voting stock or the voting stock of one of Fortinet’s designated subsidiaries, or (ii) his or her rights to purchase stock under all of Fortinet’s employee stock purchase plans accrues at a rate that exceeds $25,000 worth of stock (determined as the fair market value of the shares on the grant date) for each calendar year. In addition, the Administrator, in its sole discretion and prior to an offering date, may determine that an individual will not be eligible to participate if he or she: (i) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since his or her last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (ii) customarily works not more than twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (iii) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (iv) is an executive, officer or other manager, or (v) is a highly compensated employee under Section 414(q) of the Internal Revenue Code.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Offering Period

Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, each offering period under the Purchase Plan will have a duration of approximately six (6) months, commencing on the first trading day on or after August 14 of each year and terminating on the first trading day on or before February 14, approximately six months later, and commencing on the first trading day on or after February 14 of each year and terminating on the first trading day on or before August 14, approximately six months later. To participate in the Purchase Plan, an eligible employee must authorize contributions up to 15% of such employee’s compensation during the offering period. For purposes of the Purchase Plan, “compensation” shall mean an employee’s base straight time gross earnings, commissions (to the extent such commissions are an integral, recurring part of compensation), overtime and shift premium, but exclusive of payments for incentive compensation, bonuses and other compensation. Once an employee becomes a participant in the Purchase Plan, the employee automatically will participate in each successive offering period until the employee withdraws from the Purchase Plan or the employee’s employment with Fortinet or one of Fortinet’s designated subsidiaries (or affiliates for non-Section 423 rights granted under the Purchase Plan) terminates. On the first day of each offering period, each participant automatically is granted a right to purchase shares of our common stock. This purchase right expires at the end of the offering period or upon termination of employment, whichever is earlier, but is exercised on the first trading day after the end of the offering period to the extent of the contributions made during such offering period.

Purchase Price

Unless and until the Administrator determines otherwise, the purchase price will be 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our common stock on (i) the first trading day of the offering period, or (ii) the first trading day after the end of the purchase period, subject to compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and the terms of the Purchase Plan. The fair market value of our common stock on any relevant date will be the closing price of our stock as reported on NASDAQ.

Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions

Contributions are accumulated throughout each offering period, generally through payroll deductions. The number of whole shares that a participant may purchase in each offering period will be determined by dividing the total amount of a participant’s contributions during that offering period by the purchase price; provided, however, that a participant may not purchase more than 2,000 shares each purchase period. During an offering period, a participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Purchase Plan and may decrease the rate of payroll deductions in an offering period within limits set by the Administrator. No fractional shares will be purchased under the Purchase Plan and any contributions accumulated in a participant’s account that are not sufficient to purchase a full share will be retained in a participant’s account for the subsequent offering periods.

All participant contributions are credited to the participant’s account, are generally only withheld in whole percentages and are included with Fortinet’s general funds. Funds received by Fortinet pursuant to exercises under the Purchase Plan are used for general corporate purposes. A participant generally may not make additional contributions into his or her account outside the regularly established process.

Withdrawal

Generally, a participant may withdraw all but not less than all of his or her contributions from an offering period at any time by written or electronic notice without affecting his or her eligibility to participate in future offering periods. Once a participant withdraws from a particular offering period, however, that participant may not participate again in the same offering period. To participate in a subsequent offering period, the participant must deliver a new subscription agreement to Fortinet.

Termination of Employment

Upon termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including disability or death, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Purchase Plan and the contributions credited to the participant’s account (to the extent not used to make a purchase of our common stock) will be returned to him or her or, in the case of death, to the person or persons entitled thereto as provided in the Purchase Plan, and such participant’s right to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan will automatically be terminated.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Change of Control

Changes in Capitalization.  In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, common stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of common stock or other securities of Fortinet, or other change in the corporate structure of Fortinet affecting our common stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Purchase Plan, then the Administrator will adjust the number and class of common stock that may be delivered under the Purchase Plan, the purchase price per share, the number of shares of common stock covered by each right to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan that has not yet been exercised, and the maximum number of shares a participant can purchase during a offering period.

Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of Fortinet’s proposed dissolution or liquidation, the Administrator will shorten any offering period then in progress by setting a new exercise date and any offering periods will end on the new exercise date. The new exercise date will be prior to the dissolution or liquidation. If the Administrator shortens any offering periods then in progress, the Administrator will notify each participant in writing, at least ten business days prior to the new exercise date, that the exercise date has been changed to the new exercise date and that the right to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan will be exercised automatically on the new exercise date, unless the participant has already withdrawn from the offering period.

Change in Control.  In the event of a merger or “change in control,” as defined in the Purchase Plan, each right to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan will be assumed or an equivalent right to purchase shares will be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the options, the Administrator will shorten the offering period with respect to which such option relates by setting a new exercise date on which such offering period will end. The new exercise date will be prior to the merger or change in control. If the Administrator shortens any offering periods then in progress, the Administrator will notify each participant in writing, prior to the new exercise date, that the exercise date has been changed to the new exercise date and that the right to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan will be exercised automatically on the new exercise date, unless the participant has already withdrawn from the offering period.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan

The Administrator may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the Purchase Plan, including the term of any offering period then outstanding. Generally, no such termination can adversely affect previously granted rights to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan.

Upon its approval by the stockholders, the Purchase Plan will continue until termination of the Purchase Plan by the Board of Directors.

Plan Benefits

Participation in the Purchase Plan is voluntary and is dependent on each eligible employee’s election to participate and his or her determination as to the level of payroll deductions. Accordingly, future purchases under the Purchase Plan are not determinable. Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan. No purchases have been made under the Purchase Plan since its adoption by the Board of Directors.

Certain Federal Income Tax Information

The following brief summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon the participant and Fortinet with respect to the shares purchased under the Purchase Plan does not purport to be complete and does not discuss the tax consequences of a participant’s death or the income tax laws of any state or foreign country in which the participant may reside.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Purchase Plan, and the right of U.S. participants to make purchases thereunder, is intended to qualify under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the Purchase Plan are sold or otherwise disposed of. Upon sale or other disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be subject to tax in an amount that depends upon the holding period. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years from the first day of the applicable offering period and one year from the applicable date of purchase, the participant will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such sale or disposition over the purchase price, or (b) an amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the shares as of the first day of the applicable offering period. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of these holding periods, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the shares have been held from the date of purchase. Fortinet generally is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent of ordinary income recognized by participants upon a sale or disposition of shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above.

THE FOREGOING IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION UPON PARTICIPANTS AND FORTINET UNDER THE PURCHASE PLAN. IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A PARTICIPANT’S DEATH OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH THE PARTICIPANT MAY RESIDE.

PROPOSAL FOUR
  
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory or non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in accordance with the SEC’s rules in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement beginning on page 25 below. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific named executive officer but rather the overall compensation of all of our named executive officers and the compensation philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on Fortinet, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. The say-on-pay vote will, however, provide information to us regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns, and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

We believe that the information we have provided in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, and in particular the information discussed in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 25 below, demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our stockholders’ interests. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the 2011 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that Fortinet’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in Fortinet’s Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative discussion, and the other related disclosure.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL FIVE
  
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As described in our “say-on-pay” Proposal Four above, our stockholders are being asked to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. The Dodd-Frank Act also enables our stockholders to indicate, at least once every six years, how often we should seek a vote on “say on pay” advisory resolutions such as Proposal Four. Stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer a non-binding vote on named executive officer compensation once every one, two, or three years. Stockholders may also abstain from voting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A “ONE YEAR” VOTE ON THIS PROPOSAL.

After careful consideration, our Board of Directors has determined that a non-binding vote on executive compensation that occurs every year is the most appropriate alternative for Fortinet, and therefore our Board of Directors recommends that you vote for a one-year interval for the non-binding vote on executive compensation.

You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years or you may abstain from voting.

Our board of directors will view the frequency (one year, two years or three years) that a majority of the shares of our common stock that is present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote selects as the advisory vote of our stockholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on Fortinet, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and Fortinet to hold future advisory votes on executive compensation more or less frequently than the interval approved by our stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Code of Business Ethics and Conduct

Our Board of Directors sets high standards for Fortinet’s employees, officers and directors. Fortinet is committed to establishing an operating framework that exercises appropriate oversight of responsibilities at all levels throughout Fortinet and managing its affairs consistent with high principles of business ethics. Accordingly, Fortinet has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which is applicable to our and our subsidiaries’ directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Ethics and Conduct is available on Fortinet’s website at http://www.Fortinet.com — “About Us” — “Investor Relations” — “Corporate Governance.” Fortinet will disclose on its website any amendment to the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, as well as any waivers of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the SEC or The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”).

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that, with the exception of Messrs. Ken Xie and Michael Xie, who are employees, all of its current members and nominees for director are “independent directors” as that term is defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ. In the course of the Board’s determination regarding the independence of each non-employee director, our Board of Directors considered the annual amount of Fortinet’s sales to, or purchases from, any company where a non-employee director serves as an executive officer. Our Board of Directors determined that any such sales or purchases were made in the ordinary course of business and the amount of such sales or purchases in each of the past three fiscal years was less than 5% of Fortinet’s or the applicable company’s consolidated gross revenues for the applicable year.

Board Meetings and Committees

During fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors held four meetings. Each of the directors, other than Dr. Chen (who joined the Board of Directors in June 2010 and was unable to attend one of the two remaining Board meetings as a result of a scheduling conflict), attended or participated in 75% or more of the meetings of the Board of Directors and 75% or more of the meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which he served during the past fiscal year. The Board of Directors has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, currently consists of Messrs. Myers, Paisley and Lu, each of whom is “independent” as such term is defined for audit committee members by the listing standards of NASDAQ. Mr. Myers is the chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Myers and Paisley is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the rules of the SEC.

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Audit Committee held nine meetings during the last fiscal year. The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available on Fortinet’s website at http://www.fortinet.com — “About Us” — “Investor Relations” — “Corporate Governance.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Audit Committee Report is included in this proxy statement on page 44.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Dr. Chen and Messrs. Paisley and Walecka, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under the listing standards of NASDAQ. Dr. Chen is the chairperson of our Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

See “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation — Compensation of Directors” below for a description of Fortinet’s processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive officer and director compensation.

The Compensation Committee held five meetings during the last fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available on Fortinet’s website at http://www.Fortinet.com — “About Us” — “Investor Relations” — “Corporate Governance.”

The Compensation Committee Report is included in this proxy statement on page 31.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance committee is comprised of Messrs. Lu, Myers and Walecka, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under the listing standards of NASDAQ. Mr. Lu is the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations of candidates for the Board of Directors submitted by stockholders of Fortinet; see “Process for Recommending Candidates for Election to the Board of Directors” below.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings during 2010. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available on Fortinet’s website at http://www.Fortinet.com — “About Us” — “Investor Relations” — “Corporate Governance.”

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Dr. Chen and Messrs. Lu, Paisley and Walecka served as members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2010. Dr. Chen was appointed to the Compensation Committee in July 2010 to replace Mr. Lu, whom the Board then appointed to the Audit Committee. None of the members of our Compensation Committee is or has in the past served as an officer or employee of our company. None of our executive

TABLE OF CONTENTS

officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Board Leadership Structure

The Non-Executive Chairman of the Board is John Walecka. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles are split, and Mr. Ken Xie serves as Chief Executive Officer. In addition to the duties of all Board members, Mr. Walecka’s principal responsibilities as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board are to preside over all meetings of the Board of Directors, review and comment on the agenda for Board meetings in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Board, act as principal liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer on sensitive issues and raise issues with management on behalf of the independent directors when appropriate. Our Board of Directors believes that there may be advantages to having an independent chairman for matters such as communications and relations between the Board, the CEO, and other senior management, and in assisting the Board in reaching consensus on particular strategies and policies. Messrs. Ken Xie and Michael Xie, as the only two management directors, do not participate in sessions of non-management directors, and non-management directors meet regularly in executive session without management.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, including strategic objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance and to enhance stockholder value. A fundamental part of risk management is not only understanding the most significant risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for the company. The involvement of the full Board of Directors in reviewing Fortinet’s business is an integral aspect of its assessment of management’s tolerance for risk and also its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for Fortinet.

While the Board of Directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of the Board also have responsibility for risk management. The Audit Committee Charter provides that one of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities is oversight of certain compliance matters. In addition, in setting compensation, the Compensation Committee strives to create incentives that encourage a level of risk-taking consistent with Fortinet’s business strategy and to encourage a focus on building long-term value at Fortinet. As more fully discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, incentive compensation performance objectives of our management are determined and established so as not to encourage excessive risk taking.

At periodic meetings of the Board and its committees and in other meetings and discussions, management reports to and seeks guidance from the Board and its committees with respect to the most significant risks that could affect our business, such as legal risks and financial, tax and audit related risks. In addition, management provides the Audit Committee periodic reports on Fortinet’s compliance programs and efforts, investment policy and practices.

Process for Recommending Candidates for Election to the Board of Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, determining the criteria for membership to the Board of Directors and recommending candidates for election to the Board of Directors. It is the policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to consider recommendations for candidates to the Board of Directors from stockholders. Stockholder recommendations for candidates to the Board of Directors must be directed in writing to Fortinet, Inc., 1090 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, Attention: Corporate Secretary, and must include the candidate’s name, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data and qualifications, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and Fortinet within the last three years and evidence of the nominating person’s ownership of Fortinet’s common stock. Such recommendations must also include a statement from the recommending stockholder in support of the candidate, particularly within the context of the criteria for Board membership, including issues of character, judgment, diversity of professional

experience, including whether the person is a current or former CEO or CFO of a public company or the head of a division of a large international organization, independence, expertise, corporate experience, length of service, other commitments and the like, personal references, and an indication of the candidate’s willingness to serve. There are no differences in the manner by which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder or the Board of Directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s criteria and process for evaluating and identifying the candidates that it recommends to the full Board of Directors for selection as director nominees are as follows:

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders by the Board of Directors

Although Fortinet does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at Fortinet’s annual meeting of stockholders, Fortinet encourages, but does not require, directors to attend.

Contacting the Board of Directors

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the members of our Board of Directors may do so by sending Fortinet’s Corporate Secretary a letter c/o Fortinet at 1090 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, or by fax to (408) 235-7737. The Corporate Secretary reviews all incoming stockholder communications (except for mass mailings, product complaints or inquiries, job inquiries, business solicitations and patently offensive or otherwise inappropriate material) and, if appropriate, routes such communications to the appropriate member(s) of our Board of Directors, or if none is specified, to the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers, Messrs. Ken Xie, Kenneth Goldman, Michael Xie and John Whittle, for fiscal 2010 should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below. This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

Overview

We compete with many other technology companies in seeking to attract and retain a skilled work force. To meet this challenge, we have adopted a compensation philosophy to provide our named executive officers with compensation and benefits that are competitive and that meet our goals of attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled employees to help us achieve our financial and strategic objectives.

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and motivate our named executive officers to enhance long-term profitability and shareholder value by:

Role of the Compensation Committee in Executive Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has overall responsibility for approving the compensation of our named executive officers. Members of the Compensation Committee are appointed by our Board. See “Corporate Governance — Board Meetings and Committees — Compensation Committee” for more detail about the responsibilities and procedures of the Compensation Committee.

Role of Executives in Executive Compensation Decisions

Our Compensation Committee generally seeks input from our President and Chief Executive Officer when discussing the performance of and compensation levels for named executive officers other than for himself and Mr. Michael Xie. Neither Mr. Ken Xie nor any of our other named executive officers participates in deliberations relating to their own compensation, and Messrs. Ken Xie and Michael Xie do not participate in deliberations related to each other’s compensation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Elements of Our Compensation Program

The four key elements of our compensation package for named executive officers are base pay, equity-based awards, variable pay, and our benefits programs. As a total package, we design our compensation program to enable us to attract and retain talented personnel who can add to our long-term value. The individual elements of our compensation program serve to satisfy this larger goal in specific ways as described below.

Base Pay.  We establish base pay that is both reasonable and competitive in relation to the surveyed market of similar companies in the technology industry as further described below. See “Executive Compensation — Determining the Amount of Elements of Executives’ Compensation — Overview.” We monitor competitive base pay levels at least annually and make adjustments to base pay as appropriate. In general, a named executive officer’s base pay level should reflect his overall sustained performance and contribution to Fortinet over time. We design base pay to provide the ongoing reward for each named executive officer’s work and contribution and to be competitive in attracting or retaining the executive. Any increases in base pay are provided generally on an annual basis when we review competitive base pay levels in our surveyed market.

Equity-Based Awards.  We design our equity programs to be both reasonable and competitive in relation to the market. We monitor the market and applicable accounting, corporate, securities and tax laws and regulations and adjust our equity programs as appropriate. Stock options are designed to reflect and reward a high level of sustained individual performance over time, as reflected in improved overall company value. As described in more detail below, we design equity-based compensation, including stock options and other forms of equity compensation, to help retain talent over a period of time and to provide named executive officers with a long-term reward that aligns their interests with those of our stockholders. A number of factors are considered when determining the size of stock option grants, including competitive market factors, named executive officer performance, retention value, the value of unvested equity awards already held by the named executive officer, and a review of the named executive officer’s overall compensation package, which takes into account our approach in base pay and variable pay, as described below. Initial option grants upon hire are generally designed to attract experienced executives with established records of success and help retain them over the long term. Subsequent grants to named executive officers are designed to ensure that equity compensation remains competitive in relation to similar companies within the technology industry, and named executive officers whose skills and results we deem to be critical to our long-term success are eligible to receive higher levels of equity-based compensation. The Board of Directors has delegated to the Compensation Committee the authority to grant equity-based awards to our named executive officers, although the Board retains the right to approve such awards as well.

Variable Pay.  Consistent with our pay for performance philosophy, rewarding performance through variable pay is an important element of named executive officer compensation. We design our variable pay programs to be both reasonable and competitive in relation to the market. We monitor the market and consider adjusting our variable pay programs as needed for our named executive officers, including taking into account changes in the industry and technology space. Our senior management incentive bonus program is designed to motivate our named executive officers to achieve overall goals by paying more for outstanding results and at the same time is structured to avoid entitlements, to align actual payouts with the actual results achieved by a named executive officer and to be easy to understand and administer. The variable pay incentives are based on a formulaic assessment of our financial performance and an assessment of each individual’s performance. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to increase or decrease a payout under the variable pay programs at any time in the event that it determines that circumstances warrant adjustment. A key factor in this process is executive peer review. The executive peer review offers named executive officers the opportunity to review the performance of certain other executives, including certain named executive officers, on a quarterly basis, and these reviews are considered by our Compensation Committee when determining if variable pay objectives have been satisfied. Executives provide feedback, on a confidential basis, regarding their peers’ performance in delivering results contributing to company objectives while maintaining productive working relationships. We believe the executive peer review motivates executive officers to achieve and exceed expectations and to work together in a productive fashion.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Benefits Programs.  We provide our named executive officers the following benefits: employee retirement, health and welfare benefits, such as our 401(k) retirement plan, group health insurance plans, and life, disability and accidental death insurance plans. Our named executive officers generally receive the same benefits as those provided to our other U.S. employees and do not receive additional perquisites. Our employee benefits programs are typically established and adjusted by our human resources department with approval, as necessary, from senior management.

Determining the Amount of Elements of Executives’ Compensation in 2010

Overview.  In analyzing elements of our compensation program in 2010, management and the Compensation Committee engaged Radford to provide an assessment of the compensation we offer to our named executive officers. Management and the Compensation Committee chose Radford because of its expertise and reputation. Besides this engagement, Fortinet has only engaged Radford for the limited purpose of gaining access to the compensation data that Radford compiles. With respect to Radford’s engagement in fiscal 2010, Radford considered the compensation practices of the set of technology companies below, each of which had annual revenues ranging from approximately $76 million to $962 million, market capitalization generally ranging from $256 million to $4.6 billion, and between 281 and 3,297 employees.

ArcSight, Inc.		NetScout Systems, Inc.
Aruba Networks, Inc.		NetSuite Inc.
Blue Coat Systems, Inc.		Riverbed Technology, Inc.
CommVault Systems, Inc.		ShoreTel, Inc.
Emdeon Inc.		SonicWall, Inc.
Extreme Networks, Inc.		Sourcefire, Inc.
F5 Networks, Inc.		VeriSign, Inc.
Infinera Corporation		Websense, Inc.

Furthermore, it is worth noting Fortinet’s strong performance in 2010, including the following:

Base Pay.  As part of our annual performance review process and review of named executive officers’ compensation, early each year the Compensation Committee, with input from Mr. Ken Xie for Messrs. Goldman and Whittle, assesses the performance levels of the named executive officers, based on factors such as company performance, department performance and individual performance. Largely as a result of this assessment and taking into account reasonable annual increases in base pay, the Compensation Committee considers whether to increase the base pay of the named executive officers and, if so, by how much.

The Compensation Committee targets competitive base pay taking into consideration the named executive officer’s expertise, position, past contributions to Fortinet and potential future contributions to Fortinet. In establishing our 2010 compensation framework for base pay, and in consultation with Radford, the Compensation Committee decided to target base pay at approximately the 50^th percentile of competitive market data. Based on the data provided by Radford, the Compensation Committee determined that the base pay of each of our named executive officers was below the 50^th percentile market data. As a result, in January 2010, the Compensation Committee raised the base pay of Mr. Ken Xie by 3% to $328,879, Mr. Goldman by 3% to $318,270, Mr. Michael Xie by 3% to $291,747, and Mr. Whittle by 5% to $264,600.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These increases brought the base pay of our named executive officers to just above the 50^th percentile of market data, with the exception of Mr. Ken Xie, whose base pay was slightly below the 50^th percentile of Radford market data.

Equity-Based Awards.  In allocating stock options to our named executive officers in 2010, our Board of Directors exercised its judgment and considered, among other things, the role and contribution of the named executive officer, the value of unvested stock options already held by the executive, and the cash-based compensation received by the named executive officer. With respect to the level of equity-based compensation, we considered existing guidelines while taking equity ownership and previously granted stock options into account.

Fortinet has an annual stock option refresh grant program, with refresh stock options typically being granted in the first quarter of each year, designed to reward and help retain employees based on performance and potential. The Compensation Committee and the Board reserve the right to grant the annual refresh stock option grant at other times of year, to grant refresh stock option grants more often than once a year, and to grant other forms of equity-based awards, such as restricted stock. Based on his leadership, strategic contributions and potential future contributions, each named executive officer qualified for annual refresh grants in 2010, and, in January 2010, the Compensation Committee approved an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock for Mr. Ken Xie, an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock for Mr. Goldman, an option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock for Mr. Michael Xie, and an option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock for Mr. Whittle. For each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee also considered our refresh equity guidelines and Radford’s analysis. Each of these stock options has an exercise price of $16.86 per share, set in accordance with Fortinet’s Equity Award Grant Policy discussed in “Executive Compensation — Timing of Equity Awards” below, and vests over four years.

Variable Pay.  Our 2010 compensation framework of variable pay for our executives was based on a 50^th percentile target against the Radford peer group discussed above and survey data. Based on this assessment, the Compensation Committee decided to continue to set our variable pay targets for our named executive officers at 30% of base pay in 2010.

We determine the executive’s actual level of variable compensation by assessing the named executive officer’s actual results, and rewarding the executive in accordance with the terms of the variable pay programs. In developing the framework, we seek to set total cash compensation (base salary plus variable pay) to meet our goal of ensuring that our cash compensation levels are competitive and to enable us to retain our named executive officers.

Our variable pay programs for named executive officers fall under our Bonus Program, with the Compensation Committee establishing, each year, a more detailed incentive bonus program within the parameters described in our overall Bonus Program. In 2010, the Compensation Committee based the Bonus Program funding on achievement of revenue and operating profit or loss targets. Revenue-based targets determine 75% of the funding of the Bonus Program and operating profit or loss objectives determine 25% of the funding of the Bonus Program. We weight the Bonus Program more heavily toward achieving revenue over operating profit targets because we believe that, at this stage, revenues will drive our long-term success and result in greater opportunity for profit in the future. We believe it is important for our executives to monitor expenses as well, so we also base a portion of the Bonus Program funding on operating profit or loss targets. At least 85% of revenue goals must be achieved for any funding of the revenue portion of the Bonus Program. In addition, 100% of the operating profit or loss objectives must be met to fund the 25% of the operating profit or loss portion of the Bonus Program. To the extent that revenue targets are achieved to fund the revenue portion of the Bonus Program, the bonus pool is funded on a graduated basis, with funding increasing by 3.33% for every additional 1% of performance over 85% up to 100%. For instance, at 85% achievement of the revenue bonus funding target, the revenue portion of the Bonus Program would be funded at 50%. At 95% achievement of the revenue bonus target, the revenue portion of the Bonus Program would be funded at 83%. For every 1% achievement in excess of the target, the revenue portion of the Bonus Program would increase funding by 2% up to a maximum 200% of bonus funding for 150% achievement of the revenue target. Awards and performance are subject to quarterly performance targets, and bonuses can be funded on a quarterly basis upon successful or outstanding performance in a given quarter based on

TABLE OF CONTENTS

satisfaction of target objectives. However, for 2010, quarterly funding of awards in our first, second and third fiscal quarters are capped at 100% and are not eligible for increased funding based on achievements in excess of 100% of target.

Individual target bonuses under the Bonus Program are expressed as a percentage of the named executive officer’s base salary for 100% goal achievement. Our chief executive officer makes bonus recommendations to the Compensation Committee, taking into consideration company achievement versus the financial targets discussed above and peer review data, for Messrs. Goldman and Whittle, and the Compensation Committee in turn gives final approval after discussing the recommendations. In January 2010, the Compensation Committee approved pre-established bonus targets of up to 30% of base salary for each of the named executive officers for 100% goal achievement. The Compensation Committee approves bonuses for Messrs. Ken Xie and Michael Xie based upon the same criteria under the Bonus Program. See “Executive Compensation — 2010 Summary Compensation Table” below.

The Bonus Program is an internal incentive program based on internal revenue and operating income performance targets set at the beginning of the year. The targets were set at levels determined to be challenging and requiring substantial effort on the part of senior management. For 2010, we exceeded our operating income target in each quarter and the full year and we achieved between 99% and 104% of the quarterly and annual revenue targets. We paid bonuses to our senior management for 2010 based on achievement of these corporate goals and the peer reviews as discussed above, and, for Mr. Whittle, we took into consideration his increased responsibilities with respect to corporate development and strategic alliances. The charts below set forth our internal revenue and operating income performance targets compared to the revenue and operating income actually achieved, and indicates the percentages of target revenue actually achieved.

Benefits Programs.  Our named executive officers receive the same employee benefits as our other U.S.-based employees. We design our employee benefits programs to be both cost-effective and competitive in relation to the market as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices. We adjust our benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices and monitoring of the market.

Employment Offer Letters

We entered into employment offer letters with Mr. Goldman (effective August 24, 2007) and Mr. Whittle (effective October 18, 2006). The offer letters provide for at-will employment, base salary, eligibility to participate in the executive incentive bonus plan, standard employee benefit plan participation, and recommendations for initial stock option grants. The offers of employment were each subject to execution of a standard proprietary information, invention assignment, and arbitration agreement and proof of identity and work eligibility in the United States. The offer letters contain certain severance and change of control benefits in favor of the executives, which terms, in each case, have since been superseded by the Change of Control Severance Agreements discussed in more detail in the “Executive Compensation — Severance Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements” section below.

Severance and Change of Control Agreements

In August 2009, we entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Ken Xie, Goldman, Michael Xie and Whittle. These arrangements provide for payments and benefits upon termination of their employment in specified circumstances, including following a change of control. These arrangements (including potential payments and terms) are discussed in more detail in the “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” section below. We believe that these severance agreements help us from a retention standpoint, and they are particularly necessary in an industry, such as ours, where there has been market consolidation. We believe that entering into these agreements helps the named executive officers maintain continued focus and dedication to their assigned duties to maximize stockholder value if there is a change of control. The terms of these agreements were determined after review by the Compensation Committee of our retention goals for each named executive officer, as well as analysis of market data, similar agreements established by our peer group, and applicable law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Timing of Equity Awards

The Compensation Committee generally grants stock options to current executives and other current employees once per year. Such grants are typically approved at a meeting of the Compensation Committee held in the first quarter of the year, but the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee reserve the right to refresh stock options or other equity awards at other times during the year, to grant more than one refresh grant per year, and to make grants of forms of equity compensation other than stock options, such as restricted stock units. With respect to newly hired employees, our practice is typically to make stock grants at the first quarterly meeting of the Compensation Committee following such employee’s hire date. In January 2010, the Board adopted a new Equity Award Grant Policy, pursuant to which equity awards approved under this policy are granted effective as of the date that is the tenth trading day on the NASDAQ Global Market following the date of Fortinet’s next quarterly earnings announcement following the Compensation Committee or Board meeting when such options were approved, and the exercise price for such stock options would be the “Fair Market Value,” typically the closing sales price of Fortinet’s common stock, on that date that is the tenth trading day following the next quarterly earnings announcement.

Performance-Based Compensation and Financial Restatement

We have not implemented a policy regarding retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to our executives and other employees where the payments were predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement.

Effect of Accounting and Tax Treatment on Compensation Decisions

In the review and establishment of our compensation programs, we consider the anticipated accounting and tax implications to us and our executives. In this regard, we may begin using restricted stock and/or restricted stock units as additional forms of equity compensation incentives in response to changes in the accounting treatment of equity awards. While we consider the applicable accounting and tax treatment, these factors alone are not determinative, and we also consider the cash and non-cash impact of the programs and whether a program is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy and objectives.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limits on the amount of compensation that a public company may deduct in any one year for the compensation of the chief executive officer and other highly compensated executive officers, unless specific and detailed criteria are satisfied. Performance-based compensation (including stock options), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, is fully deductible if the programs are approved by stockholders and meet other requirements. We have determined that we will not seek to limit executive compensation so that it is deductible under Section 162(m). However, from time to time, we may choose to structure our compensation programs to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m). We seek to maintain flexibility in designing a comprehensive plan for our executives that promotes our corporate goals and therefore our Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible. Our Compensation Committee will continue to assess the impact of Section 162(m) on our compensation practices and determine what further action, if any, is appropriate.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee oversees Fortinet’s compensation policies, plans and benefit programs. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Termination or Change of Control Arrangements

Ken Xie.  We have entered into a Change of Control Severance Agreement, dated August 7, 2009, with Ken Xie, our President and Chief Executive Officer under which he may receive certain benefits upon certain terminations of employment, provided that he has provided us with an executed release of claims and subject to non-solicitation and non-competition for a period of twelve months. This agreement provides that, if Mr. Ken Xie’s employment is terminated without Cause, or if he terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, prior to a Change of Control or after twelve months following a Change of Control, he will be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal to twelve months of his then-current base salary and twelve months of medical, dental, and/or vision benefits for him and/or his eligible dependents. If Mr. Ken Xie is terminated without Cause, or if he terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, within one year following a Change of Control, in addition to receiving twelve months of base salary (as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or his termination, whichever is greater) and twelve months of medical, dental, and/or vision benefits for him and/or his eligible dependents, Mr. Ken Xie’s unvested equity awards will immediately vest and become exercisable in full, and our right of repurchase or reacquisition with respect to such awards will lapse. The awards will remain exercisable, to the extent applicable, following the termination for the period prescribed in the respective stock plan and agreement for each award. In the event any payment to Mr. Xie is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (as a result of a payment being classified as a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code), he will be entitled to receive such payment as would entitle him to receive the greatest after-tax benefit of either the full payment or a lesser payment which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax.

Michael Xie and Kenneth Goldman.  We have entered into Change of Control Severance Agreements, with each of Michael Xie, our Chief Technical Officer, dated August 7, 2009, and Kenneth Goldman, our Chief Financial Officer, dated August 7, 2009, under which each may receive certain benefits upon certain terminations of employment, provided that each has provided us with an executed release of claims and subject to non-solicitation and non-competition for a period of twelve months. These agreements provide that, if the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause, or if the executive terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, prior to a Change of Control or after twelve months following a Change of Control, the executive will be entitled to a severance payment and/or benefits as determined by us in our sole discretion. If the executive is terminated without Cause, or if the executive terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, within one year following a Change of Control, the executive will receive a severance payment equal to six months of his base salary (as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or his termination, whichever is greater), twelve months of medical, dental, and/or vision benefits for him and/or his eligible dependents, and the unvested portion of his equity awards will immediately vest and become exercisable in full and our right of repurchase or reacquisition with respect to such awards will lapse. The awards will remain exercisable, to the extent applicable, following the termination for the period prescribed in

the respective stock plan and agreement for each award. In the event any payment to the executive is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (as a result of a payment being classified as a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code), the executive will be entitled to receive such payment as would entitle him to receive the greatest after-tax benefit of either the full payment or a lesser payment which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax.

John Whittle.  We have entered into a Change of Control Severance Agreement, dated August 7, 2009 with John Whittle, our General Counsel, under which he may receive certain benefits upon certain terminations of employment, provided that he has provided us with an executed release of claims and subject to non-solicitation and non-competition for a period of twelve months. This agreement provides that, if Mr. Whittle’s employment is terminated without Cause, or if he terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, he will be entitled to a severance payment equal to twelve months of base salary (as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or his termination, whichever is greater), twelve months of medical, dental and/or vision benefits for him and/or his eligible dependents and his unvested equity awards will immediately vest as to the awards that would have vested over the next twelve months and such accelerated awards become exercisable in full, and our right of repurchase or reacquisition with respect to such awards will lapse. If Mr. Whittle is terminated without Cause, or if he terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, within one year following a Change of Control, then in addition to receiving twelve months base salary, all of his unvested equity awards will fully vest and such accelerated awards become exercisable in full, and our right of repurchase or reacquisition with respect to such awards will lapse. The awards will remain exercisable, to the extent applicable, following the termination for the period prescribed in the respective stock plan and agreement for each award. In the event any payment to Mr. Whittle is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (as a result of a payment being classified as a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code), he will be entitled to receive such payment as would entitle him to receive the greatest after-tax benefit of either the full payment or a lesser payment which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax.

For the purpose of our Change of Control Severance Agreements with the above-mentioned executives, “Change of Control” means:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction of ours that does not constitute a change of control event under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or (vii) shall not be considered a Change of Control.

For the purposes of our change of control agreements with the above-mentioned executives, “Cause” means:

For the purpose of our change of control agreements with the above mentioned executives, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of one of more of the following events without the executive’s express written consent:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The executive may not resign for Good Reason without first providing us with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within ninety days of the initial existence of the ground for “Good Reason” and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty days following the date of such notice.

Estimated Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following table provides information concerning the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided in the circumstances described above for each of the named executive officers. Except where otherwise noted, payments and benefits are estimated assuming that the triggering event took place on the last business day of fiscal 2010 (December 31, 2010), and the price per share of Fortinet’s common stock is the closing price on the NASDAQ Global Market as of that date ($32.35). There can be no assurance that a triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated below if such event occurs on any other date or at any other price, of if any other assumption used to estimate potential payments and benefits is not correct. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any potential payments or benefits, any actual payments and benefits may be different.

Standard Director Compensation Arrangements

In July 2010, our Board of Directors amended the equity award grant policy such that it is applicable to all of the non-employee directors. In October 2010, our Board of Directors amended the Board cash compensation policy such that all of the non-employee directors are eligible to receive cash retainers in connection with their Board and committee service. This compensation policy provides that each such non-employee director will be entitled to receive the following compensation for Board services:

Termination or Change of Control Arrangements

We have entered into change of control agreements with each of the non-employee directors. These agreements provide that upon a Change of Control, 100% of the unvested equity awards held by such directors will immediately vest and become exercisable and to the extent applicable, our right of repurchase or reacquisition with respect to such awards will lapse.

“Change of Control” in our change of control agreements with our non-employee directors has the same meaning as used in our Change of Control Severance Agreements with the named executive officers. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control — Termination or Change of Control Arrangements.”

Other Arrangements

Non-employee directors also have their travel, lodging and related expenses associated with attending Board or Committee meetings and for participating in Board-related activities paid or reimbursed by Fortinet.

APPENDIX A

FORTINET, INC.
  
2011 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

1. Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock through accumulated payroll deductions (or other contributions). This Plan includes two components: a Code Section 423 Plan Component and a Non-423 Plan Component. The Company’s intention is to have the Code Section 423 Plan Component qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (although the Company makes no undertaking or representation to maintain such qualification). In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of options under the Non-423 Plan Component that do not qualify under Section 423 of the Code, pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator that are designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and/or the Company. Except as otherwise indicated, the Non-423 Plan Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the Code Section 423 Plan Component.

2. Definitions.

(a) “Administrator” means the Board or any Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan pursuant to Section 14.

(ii) A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause, if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(iii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’ s stock, (2) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns,

(m) “Director” means a member of the Board.

(a) Offering Periods. Any Eligible Employee on a given Offering Date will be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the requirements of Section 5.

(b) Limitations. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Eligible Employee will be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company accrues at a rate which exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the stock at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time, as determined in accordance with Section 423 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

4. Offering Periods.  The Plan will be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day on or after February 15 and August 15 each year, or on such other date as the Administrator will determine. The Administrator will have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

5. Participation.  An Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b) by (i) submitting to the Company’s designated plan administrator (or its designee), on or before a date prescribed by the Administrator prior to an applicable Offering Date, a properly completed subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions (or other contributions if permitted) in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other enrollment procedure prescribed by the Administrator.

6. Payroll Deductions.

(a) At the time a participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5, he or she will elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen percent (15 %) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period. A participant’s subscription agreement will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(b) Payroll deductions for a participant will commence on the first pay day following the Offering Date and will end on the last pay day prior to the Exercise Date of such Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(c) All payroll deductions made for a participant will be credited to his or her account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account, unless required by Applicable Law.

(d) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by (i) properly completing and submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee), on or before a date prescribed by the Administrator prior to an applicable Exercise Date, a new subscription agreement authorizing the change in payroll deduction rate in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other procedure prescribed by the Administrator; provided, however, that a participant may only make one payroll deduction change during each Offering Period. If a participant has not followed such procedures to change the rate of payroll deductions, the rate of his or her payroll deductions will continue at the originally elected rate throughout the Offering Period and future Offering Periods (unless terminated as provided in Section 10). The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, limit the nature and/or number of payroll deduction rate changes that may be made by

TABLE OF CONTENTS

participants during any Offering Period. Any change in payroll deduction rate made pursuant to this Section 6(d) will be effective as of the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the date on which the change is made by the participant (unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, elects to process a given change in payroll deduction rate more quickly).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c), a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during an Offering Period. Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(c) hereof, payroll deductions will recommence at the rate originally elected by the participant effective as of the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

(f) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may allow Eligible Employees to participate in the Plan via cash contributions instead of payroll deductions if (i) payroll deductions are not permitted under Applicable Laws, and (ii) the Eligible Employee is participating in the Non-423 Plan Component or the Administrator determines that cash contributions are permissible under Section 423 of the Code.

(g) At the time of any taxable event under the Plan, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s or Employer’s federal, state, foreign or any other tax liability payable to any authority including taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United States, national insurance, social insurance contributions, social security or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise under the Plan. At any time, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation or other payments made to participant the amount necessary for the Company or the Employer to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Employer any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.

7. Grant of Option. On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Eligible Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Eligible Employee’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event will an Eligible Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 2,000 shares of the Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19), and provided further that such purchase will be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(c) and 13. The Eligible Employee may accept the grant of such option by electing to participate in the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 5. The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that an Eligible Employee may purchase during each Offering Period. Exercise of the option will occur as provided in Section 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The option will expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

8. Exercise of Option.

(a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10, his or her option for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option will be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share will be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10. Any other funds left over in a participant’s account after the Exercise Date will be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

(b) If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Offering Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect or terminate all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Offering Date.

9. Delivery.  As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each participant the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the Administrator. The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the Company or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Company may require that shares be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such shares. No participant will have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until such shares have been purchased and delivered to the participant as provided in this Section 9.

10. Withdrawal.

(a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by (i) submitting to the Company’s designated plan administrator (or its designee) a written notice of withdrawal in the form prescribed by the Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal procedure prescribed by the Administrator. All of the participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period, unless the participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.

(b) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.

11. Termination of Employment.  Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15, and such participant’s option will be automatically terminated.

12. Interest.  No interest will accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan, except as may be required by Applicable Law, as determined by the Company, for Participants in the Non-423 Plan Component (or the Code Section 423 Plan Component if permitted under Section 423 of the Code).

13. Stock.

(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which will be made available for sale under the Plan will be 4,000,000 shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), a participant will only have the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares, and no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to such shares.

(c) Shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse.

14. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee will be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. The Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, the Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures for jurisdictions outside of the United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions (or other contributions), making of contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. Further, the Administrator is authorized to adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Designated Companies or locations. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 13(a) hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.

15. Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) If permitted by the Administrator, a participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent will be required for such designation to be effective.

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by notice in a form determined by the Administrator. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company will deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

(c) All beneficiary designations will be in such form and manner as the Administrator may designate from time to time. The Administrator may also determine whether participants may designate beneficiaries under the Plan.

16. Transferability.  Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

17. Use of Funds.  The Company may use all payroll deductions received or held by it under the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductionsunless otherwise required by Applicable Laws, as determined by the Administrator. Until shares of Common Stock are issued, participants will only have the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares.

18. Reports.  Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Eligible Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

19. Adjustments, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments.  In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Common Stock which may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of Sections 7 and 13.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator will notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(c) Merger or Change in Control.  In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, the Offering Period with respect to which such option relates will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and will end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed merger or Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each participant in writing prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

20. Amendment or Termination.

(a) The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the next Exercise Date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19). If the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to participants’ accounts which have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to the participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required by Applicable Laws) as soon as administratively practicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto. The Company makes no representation that the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan is compliant with Section 409A of the Code.
