Adoption of 2006 Bonus Plan

On August 3, 2005, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Extreme Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), after considering a competitive market summary of total compensation for its executive officers, (i) approved the terms of the Company’s fiscal 2006 incentive bonus plan (the “2006 Bonus Plan”) and (ii) established salaries for the Company’s executive officers for fiscal 2006.

The 2006 Bonus Plan provides for the payment of cash bonuses based upon the Company’s operating profit, revenue objectives and management objectives. The amount of the total target bonus for each employee varies based upon the employee’s position and responsibilities. Under the 2006 Bonus Plan, for vice presidents who are not among the group of executive officers consisting of the Company’s chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers for the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year (the “Named Executive Officers”), the bonus is structured as follows: (i) thirty percent (30%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon a fiscal 2006 revenue formula, (ii) forty percent (40%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon the Company’s adjusted operating profit in fiscal 2006 and (iii) thirty percent (30%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon the achievement of individual management bonus objectives aligned with the Company’s strategic goals and approved by the Compensation Committee.

Under the 2006 Bonus Plan, for all Named Executive Officers other than the vice president of worldwide sales, the bonus is structured as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon a fiscal 2006 revenue formula and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon the Company’s adjusted operating profit in fiscal 2006. Under the 2006 Bonus Plan, the bonus structure for the vice president of worldwide sales is as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon the Company’s adjusted operating profit and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s total target bonus is based upon the Company’s gross margin in fiscal 2006.

The target bonus that may be paid to each Named Executive Officer under the 2006 Bonus Plan is as follows:

	As Percentage of Fiscal 2006 Base Salary
Gordon L. Stitt, President and Chief Executive Officer:	100	%
William R. Slakey, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer:	40	%
Alexander Gray, Vice President, Chief Operating Officer	40	%
Herb Schneider, Vice President Engineering	40	%

**    Mr. Carlucci’s bonus for fiscal 2006 will be based on his bonus target and commission plan.
