                          Dear Valued Partner:
                                    
We are very excited to announce that Check Point has signed an agreement
to acquire Sourcefire. We expect that this acquisition will allow us to
 address growing customer requirements for a unified security offering
that integrates IPS and RNA™ with firewalls, VPNs, gateways and Security
  Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions. We share a common
  vision of integrating network and endpoint intelligence with network
security, and we expect Check Point’s substantial technical, financial,
 channel and industry strengths will allow us to accelerate our pace of
 innovation while reaching a global market of enthusiastic Check Point
                        partners and customers. 
                                    
Our shared passion for excellence and Check Point’s strong commitment to
  Sourcefire’s employees, products, partners, customers and the Snort®
           community were paramount in making this decision. 
                                    
 Check Point is known as one of most channel friendly companies in the
 industry, and we look forward to leveraging Check Point’s expertise in
   working with channel partners. Many of you are already Check Point
 partners and will easily understand the value that the combination of
   Check Point and Sourcefire technology will bring to the market. We
   believe Sourcefire products and technologies will strengthen Check
  Point’s unified security architecture and will further enhance Check
  Point's position in providing customers with the most comprehensive
internal security solutions. For our partners, this means delivering an
       integrated best-of-breed solution to ensure your success.
                                    
      Thank you to all of our Sourcefire partners for your part in
Sourcefire’s success to-date. It was your sophisticated understanding of
what it really takes to protect your customer’s networks that led you to
sell and install Sourcefire products. For those partners who contributed
 to our extremely successful 3rd quarter, thank you! We look forward to
repeating that same success during the 4th quarter, and to continuing to
  work with you to provide these technologies and products as part of
                       Check Point during 2006. 
                                    
The acquisition is subject to regulatory conditions and approvals and is
  expected to close by Q106. You can review the press release and FAQ
   documents at http://www.checkpoint.com/sourcefire. If you have any
   questions, I encourage you to contact your local channel manager. 
                                    
                              Sincerely, 
                                    
                             Wayne Jackson
                                  CEO
                           Sourcefire, Inc.
