NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the covenants and
promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and
accepted, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Senior Manager agrees to the conversion, at the time of Closing,
of unvested Seagate Options held by such Senior Manager and/or unvested Seagate
Restricted Shares held by such Senior Manager with an aggregate Rollover Value
(as defined below) equal to at least the Applicable Percentage (as defined
below) of the total Rollover Value represented
2
by all unvested Seagate Options and Seagate Restricted Shares held by such
Senior Manager as of the Closing, into (i) pursuant to the terms of the New SAC
Restricted Share Plan (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A)
(the "Restricted Share Plan"), the Restricted Share Agreement (substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) (the "Restricted Share Agreement") and
the Management Shareholders Agreement (substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C (the "Management Shareholders Agreement," which reference shall
include the applicable provisions of the Shareholders Agreement (substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Investor Shareholders
Agreement")), Restricted Preferred Shares having an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to fifty percent of the Subscribed Value (as defined below) and
(ii) a deferred compensation account pursuant to a deferred compensation plan
(substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E), which shall be subject
to all the terms (including the subordination terms) of such plan, equal to the
excess of the Converted Value over the aggregate liquidation preference of the
Restricted Preferred Shares (the "Deferred Value"). The Senior Manager further
agrees that any such conversion of his or her unvested Seagate Options and
Seagate Restricted Shares hereunder shall (if necessary) be adjusted upward so
that the resulting Converted Value shall be a whole multiple of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000). For purposes of this Agreement, "Converted Value" shall equal
the Rollover Value of the unvested Seagate Options and/or unvested Seagate
Restricted Shares actually converted. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Applicable Percentage" shall mean, with respect to a Senior Manager who is a
Senior Vice President or higher, 50%, and with respect to any other Senior
Manager, 25%.
2. In addition, with respect to the Restricted Preferred Shares
received pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Senior Manager shall receive,
pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Share Plan, the Restricted Share
Agreement and the Management Shareholders Agreement, a number of Restricted
Ordinary Shares sufficient to provide the Senior Manager, as of the Closing,
with a percentage ownership of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares of the
Company as of the Closing equal to the Converted Value divided by the sum of (i)
the aggregate Converted Value of Seagate Management and (ii) the balance of the
total equity investment in the Company as of the Closing Date (including all
amounts contributed by the Seagate Management for Restricted Vested Preferred
Shares (as defined below)). For purposes of this Agreement, "Rollover Value"
shall mean (i) with respect to Seagate Options, the excess of (x) the fair
market value per share of Seagate common stock (using the average of Seagate's
closing selling prices for the five consecutive trading days ending two trading
days immediately preceding the Closing (the "FMV") times the number of Seagate
shares subject to the Seagate Option, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of
the Seagate Option and (ii) with respect to Seagate Restricted Shares, the FMV
times the number of Seagate Restricted Shares.
3. The Senior Manager agrees to convert additional Seagate Options
and/or Seagate Restricted Shares such that the total Converted Value shall equal
the maximum percentage, as set forth on Schedule I hereto, of the total Rollover
Value represented by all unvested Seagate Options and Seagate Restricted Shares
held by such Senior Manager as of the Closing (such total value, the "Committed
Value"). In the event that the total Committed Value of the Seagate Management
exceeds $213,750,000 (or such lesser amount, but not below $180,500,000, as
determined by Silver Lake Partners, L.P.) such total Committed Value shall be
allocated pro rata among the Seagate Management, based, first, on the Applicable
Percentage of
3
each member of Seagate management (including the Senior Manager) and then on the
respective Committed Values of the Seagate Management in excess of the
Applicable Percentage.
4. In consideration for the establishment of the deferred compensation
account and the Restricted Preferred Shares, the Senior Manager agrees to the
cancellation and/or the forfeiture of a number of Seagate Options and/or Seagate
Restricted Shares equal to the Converted Value and the Senior Manager
unconditionally releases Seagate Technology, Inc., VERITAS Software Corporation,
Victory Merger Sub, Inc., and their respective successors, assigns, affiliates,
officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all claims, liabilities
and obligations with respect to such Seagate Options and/or Seagate Restricted
Shares. The Seagate Options and/or Seagate Restricted Shares shall be cancelled
and/or forfeited in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Executive
Vice President and Chief Administrator Officer of Seagate so as to minimize any
potential excise tax liability of the Senior Manager under Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5. The Senior Manager agrees to subscribe for a number of Restricted
Vested Preferred Shares having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to
5.264% of the Converted Value (the "Subscribed Value"), for which the Senior
Manager will make a cash payment at Closing in the per share amount equal to the
same as is paid by the Investors (as defined in the Management Shareholders
Agreement) for the Preferred Shares of the Company purchased by the Investors.
The Senior Manager will receive at Closing, in respect of each Restricted Vested
Preferred Share paid for by the Senior Manager, one Restricted Vested Ordinary
Share subject to the terms of the Management Shareholders Agreement. In addition
to the cash payment required to pay for the Restricted Vested Preferred Shares
set forth above, the Senior Manager agrees to pay cash at Closing for the
Restricted Vested Ordinary Shares equal to $.0001 times the total number of such
Restricted Vested Ordinary Shares.
