Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

In connection with the proposed acquisition (the “Merger”) of Sourcefire, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, Cisco Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Parent”), and Shasta Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), on August 27, 2013 and August 30, 2013, respectively, Todd P. Headley and Marc W. Solomon agreed to waive their rights to severance and other benefits (including acceleration of vesting), including under the Sourcefire, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan and the Sourcefire, Inc. Executive Retention Plan. Messrs. Headley and Solomon have also agreed that any future rights to severance and other benefits (including acceleration of vesting) following the consummation of the Merger are to be determined solely under their new employment arrangements with Parent.

The foregoing waiver of severance and other benefits (including acceleration of vesting) will become effective only upon the consummation of the Merger.
