Information Required in the Registration Statement

Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

(a)
The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 26, 2014 filed with the Commission on September 9, 2014 pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

(c)
The description of the Registrant’s Common Stock contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A (No. 000-18225) filed with the Commission on January 11, 1990, together with Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on February 15, 1990, and including any other amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein. Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on Form 8-K prior or subsequent to the date hereof shall not be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4.     Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
As of the date of this Registration Statement, attorneys of Fenwick & West LLP beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 86,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a court to award or a corporation’s Board of Directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registrant’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the California Corporations Code. In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its directors and officers, and maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance under which its directors and officers are insured against loss (as defined in the policy) as a result of certain claims brought against them in such capacities.

Item 9.     Undertakings.
A.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement — notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a 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 will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

October 17, 2014
Cisco Systems, Inc.

San Jose, CA 95134-1706
Dear Gentlemen/Ladies:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Cisco Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Cisco” or the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about October 17, 2014 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 403,103 shares of Cisco’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) subject to issuance by Cisco upon the exercise of stock options (the “Options”) granted under the Memoir Systems, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and the settlement of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) granted under the Memoir Systems, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan” and collectively with the 2009 Plan, the “Plans”) and assumed by Cisco in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Cisco, Mendocino Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cisco, Memoir Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Memoir Systems”) and the Shareholder Representative (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement). In rendering this opinion, we have examined such matters of law and fact as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth herein, which included examination of the following:
(1)
the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, filed with the California Secretary of State on January 18, 2001 and certified by the California Secretary of State on March 4, 2011, as filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Form S-3 registration statement filed by the Company with the Commission on February 21, 2001 (the “Restated Articles”);
(2)
the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on October 4, 2012 (the “Restated Bylaws”);
(3)
the Registration Statement, together with the Exhibits filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein by reference;
(4)
the Prospectus prepared in connection with the Registration Statement;
(5)
the minutes of meetings and actions by written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors at which, or pursuant to which, the Restated Articles and Restated Bylaws were approved and resolutions that a representative of the Company has represented to us were adopted at a meeting of the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors assuming the Options and the RSUs;
(6)
the stock records that the Company has provided to us (consisting of (i) a report from the Company’s transfer agent as to the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock as of October 16, 2014 and a verbal confirmation from the Company’s transfer agent as to the outstanding shares of the Company’s

1


capital stock on October 17, 2014; and (ii) a summary report from the Company as of October 16, 2014 of outstanding restricted stock units, options and warrants to purchase the Company’s capital stock and stock reserved for issuance thereunder upon the exercise or settlement of restricted stock units, options and warrants to be granted in the future);
(7)
the Merger Agreement and all exhibits thereto, as well as the Certificate of Merger filed with the Delaware Secretary of State with respect to the Merger Agreement on October 13, 2014;
(8)
the Plans, and the forms of agreements used thereunder furnished to us by the Company (such forms of agreements, the “Plan Agreements”);
(9)
the forms of Cisco’s Stock Option Assumption Agreements (the “Option Assumption Agreements”) and Restricted Stock Unit Assumption Agreements (the “RSU Assumption Agreements”) to be used by the Company to assume the Options and RSUs originally issued under the Plans and assumed by the Company under the Merger Agreement, as filed by the Company with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement;
(10)
a Certificate of Status issued by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of California, on October 14, 2014, stating that the Company is a California corporation, in good standing (together with the certificate of good standing described in item 11 below, the “Certificates of Good Standing”); and
(11)
a Certificate of Good Standing from the California Franchise Tax Board, dated October 15, 2014, stating that the Company is in good standing with that agency.
In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all persons or entities executing the same, the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any such document and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all such documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. We have also assumed that the certificates representing the Shares have been, or will be, when issued, properly signed by authorized officers of the Company or their agents.
As to matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have relied solely upon our examination of the documents referred to above and representations made to us by representatives of the Company and have assumed the current accuracy and completeness of the information obtained from such documents and representations. We have made no independent investigation or other attempt to verify the accuracy of any of such information or to determine the existence or non-existence of any other factual matters.
With respect to our opinion expressed in paragraph (1) below as to the valid existence and good standing of the Company with the State of California, we have relied solely upon the Certificates of Good Standing and representations made to us by the Company.
We are admitted to practice law in the State of California, and we render this opinion only with respect to, and express no opinion herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the existing laws of the United States of America and of the State of California.
This opinion is based upon the customary practice of lawyers who regularly give, and lawyers who regularly advise opinion recipients regarding, opinions of the kind set forth in this opinion letter, including customary practice as described in bar association reports.

2


Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
(1)    The Company is a corporation validly existing, in good standing, under the laws of the State of California; and
(2)    The 403,103 Shares that may be issued and sold by the Company upon the exercise of the Options and the settlement of the RSUs, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the Plans, the applicable Plan Agreements, Option Assumption Agreements, and notices of restricted stock unit agreements and RSU Assumption Agreements entered into thereunder, and in the manner and for the consideration stated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus constituting a part thereof and any amendments thereto. This opinion is intended solely for use in connection with issuance and sale of the Shares subject to the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose. This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above and is based solely on our understanding of facts in existence as of such date after the aforementioned examination. We assume no obligation to advise you of any fact, circumstance, event or change in the law or the facts that may hereafter be brought to our attention whether or not such occurrence would affect or modify any of the opinions expressed herein.

 
Yours truly,
FENWICK & WEST LLP

2009 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
SECTION 1.PURPOSE.
The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors effective April 21, 2009. The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected service providers the opportunity to acquire equity in the Company through awards of Options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) and the award or sale of Shares.
The award of Options and the award or sale of Shares under the Plan is intended to be exempt from the securities qualification requirements of the California Corporations Code by satisfying the exemption under section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code. However, awards of Options and the award or sale of Shares may be made in reliance upon other state securities law exemptions. To the extent that such other exemptions are relied upon, the terms of this Plan which are included only to comply with section 25102(o) shall be disregarded to the extent provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Share Agreement. In addition, to the extent that section 25102(o) or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended to delete any requirements set forth in such law or regulations, the terms of this Plan which are included only to comply with section 25102(o) or the regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect prior to any such amendment shall be disregarded to the extent permitted by applicable law.

To the extent permitted by the Board in its sole discretion, payment may be made in whole or in part by surrendering (in good form for transfer), or attesting to ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee; provided, however, that payment may not be made in such form if such action would cause the Company to recognize any (or additional) compensation expense with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of Option exercise.

7



8.3
Services Rendered. As determined by the Board in its discretion, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of past services rendered to the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary.

Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 9, an Optionee or offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

5



(f)    Termination of Service. Unless the applicable Award agreement or, with respect to Participants who reside in the U.S., the applicable employment agreement provides otherwise, the following rules shall govern the vesting, exercisability and term of outstanding Awards held by a Participant in the event of termination of such Participant’s Service (in all cases subject to the term of the Award): (i) upon termination of Service for any reason, all unvested portions of any outstanding Awards shall be immediately forfeited without consideration and the vested portions of any outstanding Stock Units shall be settled upon termination; (ii) if the Service of a Participant is terminated for Cause, then all unexercised Options, and unvested portions of Stock Units, shall terminate and be forfeited immediately without consideration; (iii) if the Service of Participant is terminated for any reason other than for Cause, death, or Disability, then the vested portion of his/her then-outstanding Options may be exercised by such Participant or his or her personal representative within three months after the date of such termination; or (iv) if the Service of a Participant is terminated due to death or Disability, the vested portion of his/her then-outstanding Options may be exercised within eighteen months after the date of termination of Service.

vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, or other events. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Option can be exercised after the expiration date provided in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and no Option may provide that, upon exercise of the Option, a new Option will automatically be granted.
(e)    Modifications of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options provided that no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his or her rights under such Option.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and then only to the extent permitted by applicable law, no Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

No Option or interest therein may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
SECTION 7.    PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.
The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as follows and only if so provided for in an applicable Stock Option Agreement:
(i)    Surrender of Stock. Payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee; provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, require that Shares tendered for payment be previously held by the Optionee for a minimum duration. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value.
(ii)    Cashless Exercise. Payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made through Cashless Exercise.
(iii)    Other Forms of Payment. Payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules and approved by the Committee.

The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Specified Employee’s other compensation.
(b)    Number of Shares. Each Stock Unit Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the Stock Unit Grant pertains and shall be subject to adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 9.

(e)    Voting Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights.
(f)    Form and Time of Settlement. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (i) cash, (ii) Shares or (iii) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the Stock Units, in its sole discretion. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments, provided, however, that any settlement of Vested Stock Units in installments shall be exempt from or otherwise comply with the provisions regarding deferred compensation set forth in Section 409A of the Code. The distribution may occur or commence when the vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, in accordance with applicable law, to any later date. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9.
(g)    Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.
(h)    Modifications or Assumption of Stock Units. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify or assume outstanding Stock Units or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Stock Units (including stock units granted by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Stock Units for the same or a different number of Shares and with the same or different vesting provisions. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything to the contrary herein, no modification of a Stock Unit shall, without the consent of the Specified Employee, impair his or her rights or obligations under such Stock Unit.
(i)    Assignment or Transfer of Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Unit Agreement and then only to the extent permitted by applicable law, Stock Units shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Section 8(i) shall be void. However, this Section 8(i) shall not preclude a Specified Employee from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding vested Stock Units in the event of the Specified Employee’s death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of vested Stock Units by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
SECTION 9.    PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.
(a)    Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the following:
(i)    the number of Shares and the kind of shares or securities available for future Awards under Section 5;
(ii)    the number of Shares and the kind of shares or securities covered by each outstanding Award; or
(iii)    the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option.

8



(b)    Participant Rights. Except as provided in this Section 9, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. If by reason of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 a Participant’s Award covers additional or different shares of stock or securities, then such additional or different shares and the Award in respect thereof shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Award and the Shares subject to the Award prior to such adjustment.
(c)    Fractional Shares. Any adjustment of Shares pursuant to this Section 9 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. Under no circumstances shall the Company (i) be required to authorize or (ii) issue, in either case, fractional shares and no consideration shall be provided as a result of any fractional shares not being issued or authorized.
SECTION 10.    EFFECT OF A CORPORATE TRANSACTION.
(a)    Corporate Transaction. In the event that the Company is a party to a Corporate Transaction, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the applicable agreement of merger, reorganization, or sale of assets. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption or substitution of outstanding Options or Stock Units by the surviving corporation or its parent, for the replacement of outstanding Options and Stock Units with a cash incentive program of the surviving corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested portions of such outstanding Awards at the time of the transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting provisions applicable to those Awards, or for the cancellation of outstanding Options and/or Stock Units, with or without consideration, in all cases without the consent of the Participant.
(b)    Acceleration. The Committee may determine, at the time of grant of an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall become fully vested as to all Shares subject to such Award in the event that a Corporate Transaction or a Change in Control occurs. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, in the event that a Corporate Transaction occurs and any outstanding Options or Stock Units are not assumed, substituted, or replaced with a cash incentive program pursuant to Section 10(a), then such Options or Stock Units shall terminate and cease to be outstanding.
(c)    Dissolution. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options or Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
SECTION 11.    LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS.
(a)    No Entitlements. A Participant’s rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with any Award is derived solely from the discretionary decision of the Company to permit the individual to participate in the Plan and to benefit from a discretionary Award. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant expressly acknowledges that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards. Any Award granted hereunder is not intended to be compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of a Participant’s normal or expected compensation, and in no way represents any portion of a Participant’s salary, compensation, or other remuneration for purposes of pension benefits, severance, redundancy, resignation or any other purpose.
Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate. The Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Service of any person at any time, and for any reason, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any), and such terminated person shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any claim to damages or specific performance for breach of contract or dismissal, compensation for

9



loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan or any outstanding Award that is forfeited and/or is terminated by its terms or to any future Award.
(b)    Stockholders’ Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance of such Shares (as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such Shares are issued, except as expressly provided in Section 9.
(c)    Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Shares or other securities under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Shares or other securities pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Shares or other securities, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing.
SECTION 12.    WITHHOLDING TAXES.
(a)    General. A Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with his or her Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.
(b)    Share Withholding. If a public market for the Company’s Shares exists, the Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering or attesting to all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued based on the value of the actual trade or, if there is none, the Fair Market Value as of the previous day. Any payment of taxes by assigning Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including, but not limited to, any restrictions required by rules of the SEC. The Committee may, in its discretion, also permit a Participant to satisfy withholding or income tax obligations related to an Award through Cashless Exercise or through a sale of Shares underlying the Award.
SECTION 13.    DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.
(a)    Term of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by Board, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders in compliance, when required, with Section 260.140.41(g) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations. The Plan shall terminate on the ninth anniversary of the date of approval by the Company’s stockholders and may be terminated on any earlier date pursuant to this Section 13.
(b)    Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not impair the rights or obligations of any Participant under any Award previously granted under the Plan without the Participant’s consent. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the Plan’s termination. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders only to the extent such approval is otherwise required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.

Exhibit 99.3
CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.
STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
Dear [Field: Full Name]:
As you know, on October 13, 2014 (the "Closing Date"), Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") acquired Memoir Systems, Inc. ("Memoir Systems") (the "Acquisition"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Cisco, Mendocino Merger Corp., Memoir Systems and Shareholders Representative dated as of September 16, 2014 (the "Acquisition Agreement"). On the Closing Date, you held one or more outstanding options to purchase shares of Memoir Systems common stock granted to you under the Memoir Systems 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date, Cisco assumed all obligations of Memoir Systems under your outstanding option (or options). This Stock Option Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") evidences the terms of Cisco's assumption of an option (or options) to purchase shares of Memoir Systems common stock granted to you under the Plan (the "Memoir Systems Option(s)"), and documented by a stock option agreement (or stock option agreements) and any amendment(s) entered into by and between you and Memoir Systems (collectively, the "Option Agreement(s)"), including the necessary adjustments for assumption of the Memoir Systems Option(s) that are required by the Acquisition.
.
The table below summarizes your Memoir Systems Option(s) immediately before and after the Acquisition:

[Field: Expiration Date]

The post-Acquisition adjustments are based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.0637981091 as determined in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and are intended to: (i) assure that the total spread of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) (i.e., 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) to preserve, on a per share basis, the ratio of exercise price to fair market value that existed immediately prior to the Acquisition. The number of shares of Cisco common stock subject to your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) was determined by multiplying the Exchange Ratio by the number of shares of Memoir Systems common stock remaining subject to your Memoir Systems Option(s) on the Closing Date and rounding the resulting product down to the next whole number of shares of Cisco common stock. The exercise price per share of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) was determined by dividing the exercise price per share of your Memoir Systems Option(s) by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting quotient up to the next whole cent.

Unless the context otherwise requires, any references in the Plan or the Option Agreement(s) to: (i) the "Company" or the "Corporation" means Cisco, (ii) "Stock," "Common Stock," "Shares" or "Ordinary Shares" means shares of Cisco common stock, (iii) the "Board of Directors" or the "Board" means the Board of Directors of Cisco and (iv) the "Committee" means the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Cisco. As used in this Agreement, "Employer" means your actual employer. All references in the Option Agreement(s) and the Plan relating to your status as an employee or consultant of Memoir Systems or a subsidiary or affiliate will now refer to your status as an employee or consultant of Cisco or any present or future Cisco subsidiary or affiliate.
The vesting commencement date, vesting schedule and expiration date of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement(s) but with the number of shares subject to each vesting installment and the exercise price per share adjusted to reflect the effect of the Acquisition. (In this respect, please note that any discussion of option terms (including vesting acceleration) in any employment offer letter (whether from Cisco, Memoir Systems or any other related employer) is explanatory in nature and will not result in duplication of benefits (including vesting) with respect to your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s).) Vesting of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) will be suspended during all leaves of absence in accordance with Cisco's policies. Unless otherwise specified by Cisco, the only permissible methods to exercise your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) are cash, check, wire transfer, or through a cashless exercise program with a Cisco-designated broker. All other provisions which govern either the exercise or the termination of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement(s), and the provisions of the Option Agreement(s) will govern and control your rights under this Agreement to purchase shares of Cisco common stock, except (i) no assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) may be "early exercised" (i.e., an assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) may be exercised for shares of Cisco common stock only to the extent the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) is vested at the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule) and (ii) as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Acquisition. Upon termination of your employment with Cisco or any present or future Cisco subsidiary or affiliate, you will have the applicable limited post-termination exercise period specified in your Option Agreement(s) and/or the Plan for your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) to the extent vested and outstanding at the time of termination after which time your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) will expire and NOT be exercisable for Cisco common stock. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the Memoir Systems Option(s), the date of termination shall be deemed the date notice of termination is provided, whether by the Employer for any reason or by you upon resignation, and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under contract or local law, unless Cisco in its exclusive discretion determines otherwise.
To exercise your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s), you must utilize one of Cisco's preferred brokers, the Charles Schwab Corporation telephone number is ______________ or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney telephone number is ______________.
Nothing in this Agreement or the Option Agreement(s) interferes in any way with your right and the right of Cisco, its subsidiary or affiliate, which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, subject to applicable law. Future options, if any, you may receive from Cisco will be governed by the terms of the Cisco stock option plan under which such options are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s), including, but not limited to, the time period in which you have to exercise vested options after your termination of employment.
Until Cisco's Stock Administration Department is in receipt of your understanding and acceptance of this Agreement (which can be accomplished electronically by following the instructions under the heading of Acknowledgment below) your Cisco account will not be activated and your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) will not be exercisable.

CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.

NON-U.S. STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

Dear [Field: Full Name]:
As you know, on October 13, 2014 (the “Closing Date”) Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) acquired Memoir Systems, Inc. (“Memoir Systems”) (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Cisco, Mendocino Merger Corp., Memoir Systems and the Shareholders Representative dated as of September 16, 2014 (the “Acquisition Agreement”). On the Closing Date, you held one or more outstanding options to purchase shares of Memoir Systems common stock granted to you under the Memoir Systems 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date, Cisco assumed all obligations of Memoir Systems under your outstanding option (or options).  This Non-U.S. Stock Option Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") evidences the terms of Cisco's assumption of an option (or options) to purchase shares of Memoir Systems common stock granted to you under the Plan (the "Memoir Systems Option(s)"), and documented by a stock option agreement (or stock option agreements) and any amendment(s) entered into by and between you and Memoir Systems (the "Option Agreement(s)"), including the necessary adjustments for assumption of the Memoir Systems Option(s) that are required by the Acquisition.

The table below summarizes your Memoir Systems Option(s) immediately before and after the Acquisition:
Grant Details 
Employee ID
[Field: Employee ID]
Grant Date
[Field: Grant Date]
Type of Option
[Field: Grant Type]
Grant Number
[Field: Grant Number]
Cisco Number of Option Shares
[Field: Shares Granted]
Cisco Exercise Price Per Share
[Field: Option Price]
Original Number of Option Shares
[Field: Acquisition Shares] 
Original Exercise Price Per Share
[Field: Acquisition Exercise Price]
Vesting Commencement Date
[Field: Vest Start Date]
Expiration Date
[Field: Expiration Date]
The post-Acquisition adjustments are based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.0637981091, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and are intended to: (i) assure that the total spread of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) (i.e., 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) to preserve, on a per share basis, the ratio of exercise price to fair market value that existed immediately prior to the Acquisition. The number of shares of Cisco common stock subject to your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) was determined by multiplying the Exchange Ratio by the number of shares of Memoir Systems common stock remaining subject to your Memoir Systems Option(s) on the Closing Date and rounding the resulting product down to the next whole number of shares of Cisco common stock. The exercise price per share of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s)

4



was determined by dividing the exercise price per share of your Memoir Systems Option(s) by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting quotient up to the next whole cent.
Unless the context otherwise requires, any references in the Plan or the Option Agreement(s) to: (i) the "Company" or the "Corporation" means Cisco, (ii) "Stock," "Common Stock," "Shares" or "Ordinary Shares" means shares of Cisco common stock, (iii) the "Board of Directors" or the "Board" means the Board of Directors of Cisco and (iv) the "Committee" means the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Cisco. As used in this Agreement, "Employer" means your actual employer. All references in the Option Agreement(s) and the Plan relating to your status as an employee or consultant of Memoir Systems or a subsidiary or affiliate will now refer to your status as an employee or consultant of Cisco or any present or future Cisco parent, subsidiary or affiliate.
The vesting commencement date, vesting schedule and expiration date of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement(s) but with the number of shares subject to each vesting installment and the exercise price per share adjusted to reflect the effect of the Acquisition. (In this respect, please note that any discussion of option terms (including vesting acceleration) in any employment offer letter or any other documentation (whether from Cisco, Memoir Systems or any other related employer) is explanatory in nature and will not result in duplication of benefits (including vesting) with respect to your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s).) Vesting of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) will be suspended during all leaves of absence in accordance with Cisco's policies, subject to applicable law. Unless otherwise specified by Cisco, the only permissible methods to exercise your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) are cash, check, wire transfer, or through a cashless exercise program with a Cisco-designated broker. All other provisions which govern either the exercise or the termination of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement(s) and the provisions of the Option Agreement(s) will govern and control your rights under this Agreement to purchase shares of Cisco common stock, except (i) no assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) may be "early exercised" (i.e., an assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) may be exercised for shares of Cisco common stock only to the extent the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) is vested at the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule), and (ii) as expressly modified by this Agreement (including the Country-Specific Addendum), the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Acquisition. Upon termination of your employment with Cisco or any present or future Cisco parent, subsidiary or affiliate, you will have the applicable limited post-termination exercise period specified in your Option Agreement(s) and/or the Plan for your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) to the extent vested and outstanding at the time of termination after which time your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) will expire and NOT be exercisable for Cisco common stock. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the Memoir Systems Option(s), the date of termination shall be deemed the date you cease actively providing services and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under contract or local law, unless Cisco in its exclusive discretion determines otherwise.
To exercise your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s), you must utilize one of Cisco's preferred brokers, the Charles Schwab Corporation (telephone number is _______________) or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (telephone number is _______________).
Nothing in this Agreement or the Option Agreement(s) interferes in any way with your right and the right of Cisco or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate, which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, whether or not in breach of local labor laws. Future options, if any, you may receive from Cisco will be governed by the terms of the Cisco stock option plans under which such options are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s), including, but not limited to, the time period in which you have to exercise vested options after your termination of employment.
The following are additional terms and conditions of your assumed Memoir Systems Options:
Tax-Related Items.
Prior to exercise of the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) (or conversion/acceleration of vesting of the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) if the conversion/acceleration is a taxable event in your country or any other taxable event in relation to the Memoir Systems Option(s)), and only if applicable, you authorize Cisco and/or your Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion to satisfy any obligations for Option Tax Liability, including income tax, payroll tax, social contributions, or any other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items") in relation to your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding all applicable Tax-Related Items from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Cisco and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Memoir Systems Option(s) either

5



through a voluntary sale (specifically including where the Memoir Systems Option(s) is/are exercised in accordance with a cashless exercise program with a Cisco-designated broker) or through a mandatory sale arranged by Cisco (on your behalf, pursuant to this authorization); (3) withholding of Shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise of the Memoir Systems Option(s) or (4) requiring you to satisfy the liability for Tax-Related Items by means of any other arrangement approved by Cisco. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding of Shares, for tax purposes you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercise of the Memoir Systems Option(s), notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan. To avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance, Cisco may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or may take any other action required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. Finally, you must pay to Cisco or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Cisco or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan or your purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Cisco may refuse to honor the exercise, refuse to convert your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) and/or refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Paragraph.
Regardless of any action Cisco or the Employer takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Cisco or the Employer. You further acknowledge that Cisco and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Memoir Systems Option(s), including the grant, vesting, conversion into options over Cisco Shares or exercise of the Memoir Systems Option(s), any acceleration of vesting, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the conversion of Memoir Systems Option(s) into options over Cisco Shares, any acceleration of vesting or any aspect of the Memoir Systems Option(s) to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that Cisco and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Data Privacy.
You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal information as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and Cisco and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that Cisco and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number (or other social or national identification number), salary, nationality, job title, residency status, any Shares or directorships held in Cisco, details of all assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding ("Data"), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data may be transferred to Cisco or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, including outside the European Economic Area, and that the recipient's country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to a broker or other third party assisting with the administration of the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) under the Plan or with whom Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) or cash from the sale of Shares may be deposited. Furthermore, you acknowledge and understand that the transfer of such Data to Cisco or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or any third parties is necessary for your participation in the Plan.
You further acknowledge that refusal or withdrawal of the consent herein may affect your ability to realize benefits from the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) and your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation.

By accepting this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:
(a) Your rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with the assumed Memoir Systems Options or any other stock award are derived solely from the discretionary decision of Cisco to permit you to benefit from a discretionary award. The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by Cisco at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement or the Option Agreement(s). By exercising the assumed Memoir Systems Option, you expressly acknowledge that there is no obligation on the part of Cisco to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional stock awards or benefits in lieu of options or any other stock awards even if Memoir Systems Options have been granted repeatedly in the past. All decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Cisco.
(b) The assumed Memoir Systems Options and the Shares subject to the assumed Memoir Systems Options are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary, compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for Memoir Systems, the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates. The value of the assumed Memoir Systems Options and the Shares subject to the Memoir Systems Options are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to Memoir Systems, the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates and which are outside the scope of your written employment agreement (if any).
(c) You acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(d) Neither the Plan nor the assumed Memoir Systems Options or any other stock award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give you a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of Cisco, its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates. The Employer reserves the right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause, and for any reason, subject to applicable laws, Cisco's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any).
(e) Your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates.
(f) The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If you exercise the assumed Memoir Systems Options and obtain Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price. You understand that neither the Employer, nor Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates is responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuation between the Employer's local currency and the United States Dollar (or the selection by Cisco or the Employer in its sole discretion of an applicable foreign currency exchange rate) that may affect the value of the assumed Memoir Systems Options or Shares received (or the calculation of income or any taxes, social contributions, or other charges thereunder).
(g) In consideration of the conversion of the assumed Memoir Systems Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Memoir Systems Options resulting from termination of your service by Cisco or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release Cisco and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim.
(h) In the event of your termination of service, your right to receive additional options or to vest in the assumed Memoir Systems Options will end as of the date you are no longer an employee actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under contract or local law.
(i) You agree that Cisco may require the Memoir Systems Options assumed and converted hereunder to be exercised with, and the Shares held by, a broker designated by Cisco.
(j) You agree that your rights to acquire Shares or proceeds from the sale of Shares hereunder (if any) shall be subject to set-off by Cisco for any valid debts that you owe to Cisco.
(k) The Memoir Systems Options and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.

7



(l) Cisco and the Employer are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor are Cisco and the Employer making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of Cisco Shares; you are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
You hereby acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) the conversion and adjustment of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) and/or acceleration of vesting of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) to awards over Cisco Shares may have adverse tax and social insurance contribution consequences, including but not limited to any loss of tax and social insurance qualified status and the inability to obtain a tax or social insurance refund for taxes or contributions already paid on such assumed Memoir Systems Option(s), and that Memoir Systems, Cisco and your Employer do not take any responsibility or liability with respect to the loss of tax and social insurance qualified status of your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s); (b) you received information regarding the adjustment and conversion of your Memoir Systems Option(s); and (c) you acknowledge that exercise and vesting of your Memoir Systems Option(s) is contingent upon compliance with applicable local laws; in particular, if allowing you to exercise or receive assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) would not be compliant with applicable foreign securities laws, you will not be permitted to purchase or receive Shares under this Agreement.
You acknowledge that if you have received this Agreement or any other documents related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will take precedence. Cisco may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) and this Agreement by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Cisco or a third party designated by Cisco.
Cisco reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the exercise of the assumed Memoir Systems Options and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent Cisco determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. You agree to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Furthermore, you acknowledge that the laws of the country in which you are residing or working at the time of vesting or exercise of the assumed Memoir Systems Options, while you hold Options and/or Shares, or at the sale of Shares received pursuant to this Agreement (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject you to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that you are and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. Such additional requirements may be outlined in but are not limited to the Country-Specific Addendum attached hereto, which forms part of the Agreement. At all times you are responsible for understanding and following Cisco's policies with respect to insider trading, as well as any insider trading restrictions imposed by local law. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Memoir Systems Options and any Shares shall be subject to any special terms and conditions or disclosures for your country as set forth in any attached Country-Specific Addendum, which forms part the Agreement.
Until Cisco's Stock Administration Department is in receipt of your understanding and acceptance of this Agreement (which can be accomplished electronically by following the instructions under the heading of Acknowledgment below) and furthermore until the date you become an employee of Cisco or one of its subsidiaries, or alternatively, if Cisco elects to operate Memoir Systems as a separate subsidiary, your Cisco account will not be activated and your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s) will not be exercisable. If you have any questions regarding this Agreement or your assumed Memoir Systems Option(s), please contact ______________ at (___) ______________.

Exhibit 99.4
CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
Dear [Field: Full Name]:
As you know, on October 13, 2014 (the "Closing Date"), Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") acquired Memoir Systems, Inc. ("Memoir Systems") (the "Acquisition"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Cisco, Mendocino Merger Corp., Memoir Systems and the Shareholders Representative dated as of September 16, 2014 (the "Acquisition Agreement"). On the Closing Date, you held one or more outstanding restricted stock units related to shares of Memoir Systems common stock that were previously granted to you under the Memoir Systems 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date, Cisco assumed all obligations of Memoir Systems under your outstanding restricted stock unit award(s). This Restricted Stock Unit Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") evidences the terms of Cisco's assumption of any restricted stock unit award(s) related to shares of Memoir Systems common stock granted to you under the Plan (the "Memoir Systems RSUs") and documented by a restricted stock unit agreement(s) and any amendment(s) entered into by and between you and Memoir Systems (collectively, the "RSU Agreement(s)"), including the necessary adjustments for assumption of the Memoir Systems RSUs that are required by the Acquisition.
The table below summarizes your Memoir Systems RSUs immediately before and after the Acquisition:

Grant Details

[Field: Grant Type]
Grant Number
[Field: Grant Number]
Cisco Number of Shares
[Field: Shares Granted]
Original Number of Shares
[Field: Acquisition Shares] 
Vesting Commencement Date
[Field: Vest Start Date]
The post-Acquisition adjustments are based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.0637981091, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and are intended to preserve immediately after the Acquisition the aggregate fair market value of the underlying shares immediately prior to the Acquisition. The number of shares of Cisco common stock subject to your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs was determined by multiplying the Exchange Ratio by the number of shares of Memoir Systems common stock remaining subject to your Memoir Systems RSUs on the Closing Date and rounding the resulting product down to the next whole number of shares of Cisco common stock.
Unless the context otherwise requires, any references in the Plan and the RSU Agreement(s) to: (i) the "Company" or the "Corporation" means Cisco, (ii) "Stock," "Common Stock," "Shares" or "Ordinary Shares" means shares of Cisco common stock, (iii) the "Board of Directors" or the "Board" means the Board of Directors of Cisco and (iv) the "Committee" means the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Cisco. As used in this Agreement, "Employer" means your actual employer. All references in the RSU Agreement(s) and the Plan relating to your status as an employee or consultant of Memoir Systems or a subsidiary or affiliate will now refer to your status as an employee or consultant of Cisco or any present or future Cisco parent, subsidiary or affiliate.
The vesting commencement date, vesting schedule and expiration date of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs remain the same as set forth in the RSU Agreement(s) and/or any notice of grant but with the number of shares subject to each vesting installment adjusted to reflect the effect of the Acquisition. (In this respect, please note that any discussion of terms in any employment offer letter (whether from Cisco, Memoir Systems or any other related employer) is explanatory in nature and

1


will not result in duplication of benefits (including vesting) with respect to your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs.) Vesting of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs will be suspended during all leaves of absence in accordance with Cisco's policies. Cisco will withhold applicable taxes by withholding vested Cisco shares that would otherwise be released under the assumed Memoir Systems RSU on the vest date. The amount of Cisco shares withheld will be equal in value to the amount necessary to satisfy any such withholding tax obligation. All other provisions which govern either the settlement or the termination of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs remain the same as set forth in the RSU Agreement(s), and the provisions of the RSU Agreement(s), will govern and control your rights under this Agreement to acquire shares of Cisco common stock, except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Acquisition.

UNLESS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OR OFFER LETTER WITH CISCO, UPON NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH CISCO OR ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CISCO SUBSIDIARY, ALL UNVESTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY FORFEITED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION, EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE DETERMINED BY CISCO IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

Nothing in this Agreement or the RSU Agreement(s) interferes in any way with your right and the right of Cisco or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate, which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason and whether or not in breach of local labor laws. Future restricted stock units, if any, you may receive from Cisco will be governed by the terms of the Cisco equity plan under which such restricted stock units are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs, including, but not limited to, vesting and forfeiture upon your termination of employment.
Until Cisco's Stock Administration Department is in receipt of your understanding and acceptance of this Agreement (which can be accomplished electronically by following the instructions under the heading of Acknowledgment below) your Cisco account will not be activated and your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs will not be settled.

UPON TERMINATION OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH CISCO OR ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CISCO SUBSIDIARY, ALL UNVESTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY FORFEITED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION, EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE DETERMINED BY CISCO IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.
Nothing in this Agreement or the RSU Agreement(s) interferes in any way with your right and the right of Cisco or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate, which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, whether or not in breach of local labor laws. Future restricted stock units, if any, you may receive from Cisco will be governed by the terms of the Cisco equity plan under which such restricted stock units are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs, including, but not limited to, vesting and forfeiture upon your termination of employment.
The following are additional terms and conditions of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs:
Tax-Related Items.
Prior to conversion of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs if the conversion is a taxable event in your country, you authorize Cisco and/or your Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion to satisfy any obligations for tax liability, including income tax, payroll tax, social contributions, or any other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items") in relation to your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding all applicable Tax-Related Items from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Cisco and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares issued upon settlement of the Memoir Systems RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Cisco (on your behalf, pursuant to this authorization); (3) withholding of Shares that would otherwise be issued upon vesting of the Memoir Systems RSUs or (4) requiring you to satisfy the liability for Tax-Related Items by means of any other arrangement approved by Cisco. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding of Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Memoir Systems RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan. To avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance, Cisco may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or may take any other action required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. Finally, you must pay to Cisco or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Cisco or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Cisco may refuse to convert your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and/or refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Paragraph.
Regardless of any action Cisco or the Employer takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Cisco or the Employer. You further acknowledge that Cisco and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Memoir Systems RSUs, including the grant, vesting, conversion into restricted stock units over Cisco Shares, any acceleration of vesting, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the conversion of Memoir Systems RSUs into restricted stock units over Cisco Shares, any acceleration of vesting or any aspect of the Memoir Systems RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that Cisco and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Data Privacy.
You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal information as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and Cisco and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that Cisco and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number (or other social or national identification number), salary, nationality, job title, residency status, any Shares or directorships held in Cisco, details of all assumed Memoir Systems RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding ("Data"), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data may be transferred to Cisco or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, including outside the European Economic Area, and that the recipient's country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to a broker or other third party assisting with the administration of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs under the Plan or with whom Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs or cash from the sale of Shares may be deposited. Furthermore, you acknowledge and understand that the transfer of such Data to Cisco or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or any third parties is necessary for your participation in the Plan.
You further acknowledge that refusal or withdrawal of the consents herein may affect your ability to realize benefits from the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation.
By accepting this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:
(a) Your rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs or any other stock award are derived solely from the discretionary decision of Cisco to permit you to benefit from a discretionary award. The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by Cisco at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement or the RSU Agreement(s). By accepting this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge that there is no obligation on the part of Cisco to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional stock awards or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units, options or any other stock awards even if Memoir Systems RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past. All decisions with respect to future stock awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Cisco.
(b) The assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and the Shares subject to the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary, compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for Memoir Systems, the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates. The value of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and the Shares subject to the Memoir Systems RSUs are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to Memoir Systems, the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates and which are outside the scope of your written employment agreement (if any).
(c) You acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(d) Neither the Plan nor the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs or any other stock award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give you a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of Cisco, its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates. The Employer reserves the right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause, and for any reason, subject to applicable laws, Cisco's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any).
(e) Your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates.

(f) The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If you vest in the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and obtain Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon issuance may increase or decrease in value. You understand that neither the Employer, nor Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates is responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuation between the Employer's local currency and the United States Dollar (or the selection by Cisco or the Employer in its sole discretion of an applicable foreign currency exchange rate) that may affect the value of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs or Shares received (or the calculation of income or any taxes, social contributions, or other charges thereunder).
(g) In consideration of the conversion of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs resulting from termination of your service by Cisco or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release Cisco and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim.
(h) In the event of your termination of service, your right to vest in the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs will end as of the date you are no longer an active employee and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under contract or local law. unless Cisco in its exclusive discretion determines otherwise.
(i) You agree that Cisco may require the Memoir Systems RSUs assumed and converted hereunder and the Shares held by a broker to be designated by Cisco.
(j) You agree that your rights to acquire Shares or proceeds from the sale of Shares hereunder (if any) shall be subject to set-off by Cisco for any valid debts that you owe to Cisco.
(k) The Memoir Systems RSUs and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.
(l) Cisco and the Employer are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor are Cisco and the Employer making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of Cisco Shares; you are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
You hereby acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) the conversion and adjustment of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and/or acceleration of vesting of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs to awards over Cisco Shares may have adverse tax and social insurance contribution consequences, including but not limited to any loss of tax and social insurance qualified status and the inability to obtain a tax or social insurance refund for taxes or contributions already paid on such assumed Memoir Systems RSUs, and that Memoir Systems, Cisco and your Employer do not take any responsibility or liability with respect to the loss of tax and social insurance qualified status of your assumed Memoir Systems RSUs; (b) you received information regarding the adjustment and conversion of your Memoir Systems RSUs; and (c) you acknowledge that vesting and settlement of your Memoir Systems RSUs and the issuance of Shares are contingent upon compliance with applicable local laws; in particular, if allowing you to vest in or receive assumed Memoir Systems RSUs or Shares subject to the Memoir Systems RSUs would not be compliant with applicable foreign securities laws, you will not be permitted to receive Shares under this Agreement.
You acknowledge that if you have received this Agreement or any other documents related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will take precedence. Cisco may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and this Agreement by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Cisco or a third party designated by Cisco.
Cisco reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent Cisco determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. You agree to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Furthermore, you acknowledge that the laws of the country in which you are residing or working at the time of vesting of the assumed Memoir Systems RSUs, while you hold Shares, or at the sale of Shares received pursuant to this Agreement (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject you to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that you are and
