SYMANTEC CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor"), in favor of the
various financial institutions as are or may from time to time become Lenders
under the Loan Agreement (together with their respective successors and assigns,
the "Lenders") and THE SUMITOMO BANK, LIMITED, SAN FRANCISCO BRANCH as agent (in
such capacity, the "Agent") for the Lenders (the Lenders, the Agent and their
respective successors and assigns, collectively, the "Lender Parties").


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, pursuant to a Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of
the date hereof (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any,
from time to time thereafter made thereto, the "Loan Agreement"), among Sumitomo
Bank Leasing and Finance, Inc., (the "Lessor") the Lenders and the Agent, the
Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to extend
Loans to the Lessor;

        WHEREAS, as a condition to the occurrence of the Documentation Date
under the Amended and Restated Participation Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any, from time
to time thereafter made thereto, the "Participation Agreement"), among the
Guarantor, the Lessor, the Lenders and the Agent, the Guarantor is required to
execute and deliver this Guaranty in favor of the Lenders;

        WHEREAS, the Guarantor has duly authorized the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty; and

        WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Guarantor to execute this
Guaranty inasmuch as the Guarantor will derive substantial benefits from the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement;

        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lenders to enter into the
Loan Agreement, the Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of Lenders, as follows:

                                                                        Guaranty


                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

        SECTION 1.1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined in this Guaranty have the respective meanings specified in Appendix A
hereto; and the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix A hereto shall
apply to this Guaranty.


                                   ARTICLE II

                               GUARANTY PROVISIONS

        SECTION 2.1. Guaranty of Lessor Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges
that it is in Guarantor's best interests to execute this Guaranty as Guarantor
will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the loans provided by
the Lenders to the Lessor. Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees and promises to pay to Agent, or order, on demand in lawful money of
the United States of America, any obligations of the Lessor to make payments
under the Loan Agreement as a result of a Lease Event of Default ("Lessor
Obligations"). The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Lessor Obligations
have been increased pursuant to Master Amendment No. 1 and Master Amendment No.
2 and that the guaranty hereunder extends to such Lessor Obligations.


        SECTION 2.2. Independent Obligations. Guarantor's obligations hereunder
are independent of the obligations of Lessor, any other guarantor or any other
person, and Agent may enforce any of its rights hereunder independently of any
other right or remedy that Agent may at any time hold with respect to the Lessor
Obligations or any security or other guaranty therefor. This Guaranty is a
guaranty of payment when due and not of collection. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent may bring a separate action against Guarantor
without first proceeding against Lessor, any other guarantor, any other person
or any security held by Agent, and regardless of whether Lessor, any other
guarantor or any other person is joined in any such action. Guarantor's
liability hereunder shall at all times remain effective with respect to the full
amount of the Lessor Obligations, notwithstanding any limitations on the
liability of Lessor to Agent contained in the Loan Agreement or elsewhere.
Agent's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by any action taken by Agent
until all Lessor Obligations have been fully paid and performed. The liability
of Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of Agent
shall

                                                                        Guaranty


continue,  with  respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Lessor
Obligations  which  shall  thereafter  be required to be restored or returned by
Agent upon the bankruptcy,  insolvency or  reorganization  of Lessor,  any other
guarantor or any other person,  or otherwise,  all as though such amount had not
been paid.

        SECTION 2.3. Authority to Modify Lessor Obligations. Guarantor
authorizes Agent, at any time and from time to time without notice and without
affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, to:

                (a) alter the terms of all or any part of the Lessor Obligations
        and any security and guaranties therefor including without limitation
        modification of times for payment and rates of interest;

                (b) accept new or additional instruments, documents, agreements,
        security or guaranties in connection with all or any part of the Lessor
        Obligations;

                (c) accept partial payments on the Lessor Obligations;

                (d) waive, release, reconvey, terminate, abandon, subordinate,
        exchange, substitute, transfer, compound, compromise, liquidate and
        enforce all or any part of the Lessor Obligations and any security or
        guaranties therefor, and apply any such security and direct the order or
        manner of sale thereof (and bid and purchase at any such sale), as Agent
        in its discretion may determine;

                (e) release Lessor, Guarantor or any other person from any
        personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Lessor
        Obligations; and

                (f) assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to any person.

        SECTION 2.4. Continuing Guaranty; Confirmation of No Revocation. This
Guaranty is not revocable prior to October 18, 2003 and is not revocable
thereafter without 30 days' prior written notice to Agent. Termination of this
Guaranty for any reason shall not affect any obligations of Guarantor hereunder
which have accrued as of the date of termination, and such accrued obligations
shall survive this Guaranty's termination. At Agent's written request from time
to time, Guarantor agrees to confirm in writing within 10 days of receiving such
request that no revocation of this Guaranty has occurred.

        SECTION 2.5. Waivers. In addition to any other waivers provided in this
Guaranty, Guarantor hereby waives each of the following, to the fullest extent
allowed by law:

                (a) all statutes of limitations as a defense to any action
        brought by Agent against Guarantor;

                (b) any defense based upon:

                        (i) the unenforceability or invalidity of all or any
                part of the Loan Agreement or the Lessor Obligations, or any
                security or other guaranty for the Lessor Obligations or the
                lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for
                the Lessor Obligations; or

                        (ii) any act or omission of Lessor or any other person
                that directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release
                of Lessor or any other person or any of the Lessor Obligations
                or any security therefor; or

                        (iii) any disability or any other defense of Lessor or
                any other person with respect to the Lessor Obligations, whether
                consensual or arising by operation of law or any bankruptcy,
                insolvency or debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause;

                (c) any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require
        Agent, as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, to:

                        (i) accelerate the Lessor Obligations; or

                        (ii) give notice to Guarantor of the terms, time and
                place of any public or private sale of any security for the
                Lessor Obligations; or

                        (iii) proceed against Lessor, Guarantor or any other
                person, or proceed against or exhaust any security for the
                Lessor Obligations;

                (d) all rights of subrogation and reimbursement, all rights to
        enforce any remedy that Agent now or hereafter has against Lessor or any
        other person, and any benefit of, and right to participate in, any
        security now or hereafter held by Lessor with respect to the Lessor
        Obligations;

                (e) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind,
        including without limitation notices of default and notice of acceptance
        of this Guaranty;



                                       -4-

                                                                        Guaranty


                (f) all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature otherwise
        available under California law and the laws of any other jurisdiction,
        including without limitation all defenses arising under Sections 2787
        through 2855, inclusive, and Sections 2899 and 3433 of the California
        Civil Code and any successor provisions of those Sections; and

                (g) all other rights and defenses the assertion or exercise of
        which would in any way diminish the liability of Guarantor hereunder.

        SECTION 2.6. Deed of Trust on Real Property; Additional Waivers.

                (a) Guarantor authorizes Agent, at its sole option, without
        notice or demand and without affecting the liability of Guarantor
        hereunder, to release and reconvey (with or without the receipt of any
        consideration) any lien against any or all real or personal property
        security for the Loan Agreement, to foreclose any or all deeds of trust,
        mortgages, security agreements or other instruments or agreements by
        judicial or nonjudicial sale, and to exercise any other remedy against
        Lessor, any security or any other guarantor, all without affecting the
        liability of Guarantor hereunder.

                (b) Guarantor waives any defenses or benefits that may be
        derived from California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b,
        580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the laws of the State of
        California or any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses
        it would otherwise have under California law or the laws of any other
        jurisdiction. Guarantor waives any right to receive notice of any
        judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any real property, and
        the failure of Guarantor to receive such notice shall not impair or
        affect Guarantor's liability hereunder.

                (c) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
        election of remedies by Agent, even though that election of remedies,
        such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
        guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation
        and reimbursement against Lessor or any other principal by operation of
        Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

                (d) Guarantor acknowledges that it has, in this Guaranty, waived
        any and all rights of subrogation and

        reimbursement and any other rights and defenses available to Guarantor
        by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil
        Code, including, without limitation:

                        (i) any defenses Guarantor may have to its guaranty
                obligations by reason of an election of remedies by Agent; and

                        (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason
                of protection afforded to Lessor or any other principal with
                respect to the obligation so guaranteed pursuant to the
                antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting
                or discharging Lessor's indebtedness, including, without
                limitation, Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California
                Code of Civil Procedure.

        SECTION 2.7. Reasonableness and Effect of Waivers. Guarantor warrants
and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in this Guaranty is made with full
knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the
circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or
law. If any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law
or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent
permitted by law.

Agreement or the other Operative Documents, the Guarantor will perform the
