director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant

(&#147;Cisco&#148;), acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of The Linksys Group, Inc. (&#147;Linksys&#148;) (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). In exchange for the assets acquired in the Acquisition, Cisco issued to
Linksys shares of Cisco common stock (&#147;Cisco Stock&#148;). On the Closing Date you held one or more outstanding options to purchase shares of Linksys common stock granted to you under The Linksys Group, Inc. 2002 Stock Option/Stock Issuance
Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;). In accordance with the Acquisition, on the Closing Date Cisco assumed all obligations of Linksys under these outstanding options. This Agreement evidences the assumption of an option to purchase Linksys common stock
granted to you under the Plan on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (the &#147;Linksys Option&#148;), and documented by a Notice of Grant of Stock Option, to which a stock option agreement is attached, entered
into by and between you and Linksys (the &#147;Option Agreement&#148;), including the necessary adjustments to the Linksys Option required by the Acquisition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

based on an exchange ratio of 0.29728 (the &#147;Exchange Ratio&#148;) and are intended to: (i) assure that the total spread of each assumed Linksys Option (<I>i.e.</I>, the difference between the aggregate fair market value and the aggregate
exercise price) does not exceed the total spread that existed immediately prior to the Acquisition; and (ii) preserve, on a per share basis, the ratio of exercise price to fair market value that existed immediately prior to the Acquisition.

in the Option Agreement, but the number of shares subject to each vesting installment and the exercise price per share have been adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. All other provisions which govern either the exercise or the termination of the
assumed Linksys Option remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement, and the provisions of the Option Agreement (except as expressly modified by this Agreement and the Acquisition) will govern and control your rights under this Agreement to
purchase shares of Cisco Stock. <B>However, to the extent an item is not explicitly provided for in the Option Agreement or the Plan, Cisco or Cisco-Linksys LLC policies will apply. For example, vesting of options will be suspended during all leaves
of absence in accordance with Cisco and Cisco-Linksys LLC policy, unless the Option Agreement or the Plan explicitly provide otherwise.</B> Upon your termination of employment with Cisco-Linksys LLC you will have the limited time period specified in
the Option Agreement to exercise the assumed Linksys Option to the extent vested and outstanding at the time, generally a three month period, after which time the assumed Linksys Option will expire and NOT be exercisable for Cisco Stock. </FONT></P>
