and/or Ordinary Share (as the case may be) and upon the terms, conditions, and
provisions, if any, of the offer so accepted by the Majority Investors,

Restricted Share Agreement or which have vested pursuant to the applicable
Restricted Share Agreement (in each case, the "Offer") from a Third Party (the
-----
"Offeror"), which Offer such Management Shareholder wishes to accept and that
-------
could be consummated without violating the terms of this Agreement, then (i) the

arrange for one or more Persons designated by the Company to purchase, all (but
not less than all) of the Shares covered by the Offer either (i) for the same
consideration and on substantially the same terms, conditions and other
provisions as the Offer or (ii) if the Offer includes any consideration other
than cash, then, at the sole option of the Company, at the equivalent all cash
price, determined in good faith by the Board, and otherwise on the same terms,
conditions and other provisions as the Offer. The Company agrees to notify the
Offeree as promptly as practicable of its decision regarding the right of first
refusal set forth in this Section 2.6(a) but, in no event, shall it notify the
Offeree later than the end of such 30-day period.
(b) If the option set forth in Section 2.6(a) is exercised
by the Company, the Company (or its designee(s)) shall arrange with the Offeree
a mutually convenient time (not later than ninety (90) days after the date of
the Sale Notice) to consummate such purchase and sale and, at that time, shall
pay to the Offeree cash consideration for the Shares subject to such purchase
and sale, by delivering a certified bank check or checks or by wiring same day
funds upon the instructions of the Offeree in the amount of the purchase price

form, certificates representing the Shares being purchased, appropriately
endorsed by the Offeree or (ii) if the Shares have been issued in book-entry
form, instructions regarding the transfer of registration of the Shares being

refusal in the manner set forth above, the Offeree may, during the next
succeeding 60 Business Days, sell not less than all of the Shares covered by the
Offer to the Offeror at a price and on terms, conditions and other provisions no
less favorable to the Offeree than those contained in the Offer. Promptly after
such sale, (i) the Offeree shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof
and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such
sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company and,
thereafter, (ii) the Company shall deliver (A) if the Shares have been issued in
certificated form, new certificates representing the Shares sold to the Offeror
who has purchased such Shares upon delivery of old certificates issued to the
Offeree and representing such Shares or (B) if the Shares have been issued in

------------

into pursuant to Section 2.7, each Management Shareholder shall enter into a
shareholders agreement with the Company having substantially identical terms and

--------
to the Company shall be changed in such additional shareholders agreement to
references to the relevant Designated Subsidiary (as such term is defined in the
Investor Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) all references in this Agreement to
the Investor Shareholders Agreement shall be changed in such additional

ARTICLE III. CALL RIGHTS
3.1 Call Rights. (a) If the employment with the Company or any
-----------
of its Subsidiaries of any Management Shareholder terminates for any reason
(including, without limitation, due to death or disability of such Management
Shareholder) prior to the Lapse Date with respect to such Management
Shareholder, the Company (or its designee(s)) shall have the option to purchase
(the "Call Rights"), and such Management Shareholder shall be required to sell
-----------
to the Company (or to any such designee(s)), if the Company exercises the Call
Rights, any or all Shares held by such Management Shareholder, at a price per
share equal to the applicable purchase price determined pursuant to Section 3.2
hereof; provided, however, that in the case of a termination of employment
-------- -------
without Cause, a resignation from employment with Good Reason or the death or
disability of the employee, the Company may exercise its Call Rights only with
12
the approval of one Management Director (as such term is defined in the Investor
Shareholders Agreement).
(b) If the Company does not exercise its Call Rights with
respect to such Management Shareholder within 60 days of such Management
Shareholder's termination of employment (other than becasuse of a failure to
obtain the approval of one Management Director as contemplated by the proviso of
Section 3.1(a)), then the Investors and the Tier I Senior Managers shall have
the same Call Rights for a period of 30 days effective immediately upon the
expiration of the 60-day period described in this Section 3.1(b). If more than
one Investor or Tier I Senior Manager exercises its Call Rights with respect to
such Management Shareholder, each such Investor or Tier I Senior Manager shall
have the right to purchase the number of such Shares equal to the product of (i)
the number of Shares subject to such Call Rights and (ii) the quotient of (A)
such Investor's or Tier I Senior Manager's percentage ownership in the Ordinary
Shares and (B) the aggregate percentage ownership in the Ordinary Shares of such
Investor or Tier I Senior Manager and all other Investors and Tier I Senior
Managers exercising such Call Rights; provided, that for purposes of determining
--------
such quotient only Ordinary Shares held by Tier I Senior Managers which are not
subject to a Restricted Share Agreement or with respect to which such Tier I
Senior Managers' interests have fully vested as of the date of the exercise of
such Call Rights, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Restricted
Share Agreements, shall be taken into account.
(c) Upon the termination of such Management Shareholder's
employment, the Company shall deliver written notice to such Management
Shareholder within 60 days (if at all) of such termination indicating its
intention to exercise its Call Rights. The Company's decision whether to
exercise its Call Rights in the case of a termination of employment of a
Rollover Management Shareholder without Cause or for Good Reason shall, subject
to the proviso of Section 3.1(a), be determined by the Compensation Committee of
the Board. Any Investor or Tier I Senior Manager exercising its Call Rights
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof shall deliver written notice to such
Management Shareholder of such exercise within 30 days of the expiration of the
60-day period referred to in Section 3.1(b) hereof.
(d) Regardless of whether the Company or any of the Investors
or Tier I Senior Managers exercise their respective Call Rights within the
period prescribed by this Section 3.1, if a Management Shareholder continues to
own Shares, then he or she shall continue to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.
3.2 Procedures for Exercise of Call Rights. In the event of a
--------------------------------------
purchase by the Company, any Investor or any Tier I Senior Manager and the sale
by such Management Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, then the purchase
price shall be:
(i) in the case of a termination of or resignation from
employment for any reason other than as provided in clauses (ii) and
(iii) below, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be purchased on the
date on which notice of exercise of Call Rights is delivered pursuant
to Section 3.1;
13
(ii) in the case of a termination of employment for Cause, the
lower of (a) the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be purchased on the
date of termination of employment and (b) the original cost at which
such Management Shareholder acquired such Shares (provided that the
original cost of (i) any Ordinary Shares acquired on the date hereof
shall be deemed to be zero and (ii) any Preferred Shares shall be equal
to the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the articles of
association of the Company) in respect thereof); or
(iii) in the case of a termination of employment of a Rollover
Management Shareholder (but not Management Shareholders who are not
Rollover Management Shareholders) without Cause or a resignation from
employment thereby with Good Reason, the higher of (a) the Fair Market
Value of the Shares to be purchased on the date on which notice of the
exercise of the Call Rights is delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 and
(b) the original cost at which such Management Shareholder acquired
such Shares (provided that the original cost of (i) any Ordinary Shares
acquired on the date hereof shall be deemed to be zero and (ii) any
Preferred Shares shall be equal to the Liquidation Preference (as
defined in the articles of association of the Company) in respect
thereof).
If the Company, any Investor or any Tier I Senior Manager
purchases Shares from a terminated Management Shareholder pursuant to Section
3.1(a) hereof, the purchasing party shall arrange a mutually convenient time
(not later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Management
Shareholder's termination of employment) to consummate such purchase and sale
and, at that time, shall pay such Management Shareholder the purchase price
against delivery by such Management Shareholder of (i) if the Shares have been
issued in certificated form, certificates representing such Shares appropriately
endorsed by such Management Shareholder or (ii) if the Shares have been issued
in book-entry form, instructions from the terminated Management Shareholder to
register the Transfer of Shares effected by the exercise of such Call Right on
the Register. The purchase price for such Shares shall be paid by delivering a
certified bank check or checks or by wiring same day funds upon the instruction
of such Management Shareholder. The Company shall deliver to the terminated
Management Shareholder (i) if the Shares to be purchased have been issued in
certificated form, certificates representing the balance of the Shares held by
such Management Shareholder which remain unsold (if any) after the purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.1 and which otherwise have not been forfeited (if
any) or (ii) if such Shares have been issued in book-entry form, notice to the
terminated Management Shareholder of the registration of Transfer of the Shares
sold to the Company or the Investors upon the exercise of the Call Rights of
such party. In the event that the Company or any Investor or Tier I Senior
Manager exercises its Call Rights with repect to any Shares held by any
Management Shareholder that have been vested pursuant to a Restricted Share
Agreement for less than six months (the period from the date of such vesting
until six months after such date, the "Custody Period"), the Company shall hold
--------------
such Shares in custody for the benefit of such Management Shareholder until the
expiration of the Custody Period with respect to such Shares; provided, however,
-------- -------
that such Management Shareholder shall not have any rights with respect to such
Shares (including, without limitation, any rights to Transfer or vote such
Shares). The purchase and sale of such Shares shall be consummated after the
14
expiration of the Custody Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Fair Market Value of any Shares to be purchased after the
expiration of any Custody Period shall be determined as of the date of the
consummation of the purchase and sale of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in the event of a termination of employment of a
Rollover Management Shareholder without Cause or for Good Reason, the Call
Rights herein provided for will not apply to any Ordinary Shares other than
those issued in respect of the cancellation of equity interests of Seagate
pursuant to the Management Shareholder's Rollover Agreement with the Company
dated November 13, 2000.
ARTICLE IV. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

----------------
agrees to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and obligations of Article
III (Registration Rights) of the Investor Shareholders Agreement and all other
provisions of the Investor Shareholders Agreement (and any subsequent

or more Third Parties 15% or more of the number of Ordinary Shares owned in the
aggregate by the Investors on the date hereof (as adjusted for any stock
dividends, combinations, splits and the like with respect to such Ordinary
Shares), each Management Shareholder shall have all of the rights and privileges
of Article III of the Investor Shareholders Agreement (other than Section 3.2),
in each case as if the Management Shareholder were an original party (other than
the Company) thereto.

efforts to register all outstanding options to purchase Shares held by the
Management Shareholders or their Permitted Transferees under one or more
employee option plans of the Company or its Affiliates on a Form S-8
registration statement (or any successor form of registration statement) with
the SEC and shall also, at the time of such registration, use its reasonable
best efforts to register for resale on a Form S-3 reoffer prospectus (or any
successor form of reoffer prospectus) any Shares previously issued to the
Management Shareholders in connection with their rollover equity in the Company
or their employment with the Company and held by such Management Shareholders or
their Permitted Transferees at the time, if and to the extent such reoffer
prospectus is permitted to be filed with the SEC in conjunction with the filing
