(h) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) which could be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities.

(i) To furnish you with any proposed General Solicitation to be made by the Company or on its behalf before its use, and not to make or use any proposed General Solicitation without your prior written consent.

(j) While any of the Securities remain “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act, to make available, upon request, to any seller of such Securities the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, unless the Company is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(k) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) will engage in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in Regulation S) with respect to the Securities;

and the Company and its Affiliates and each person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.

(l) During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, and it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to not permit any of its other affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to resell any of the Securities which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 that have been reacquired by any of them.

(m) Not to take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby.

(n) The Company will deliver to each Initial Purchaser (or its agent), on the date of execution of this Agreement, a properly completed and executed Certification Regarding Beneficial Owners of Legal Entity Customers, together with copies of identifying documentation, and the Company undertakes to provide such additional supporting documentation as each Initial Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the verification of the foregoing Certification.

Each of the Issuer and the Company also agree that, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, and the Company agrees that it will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, during the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including the Closing Date, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities, or warrants to purchase debt securities, of the Issuer or the Company that are substantially similar to the Securities (other than the sale of the Securities under this Agreement).

7. Offering of Securities; Restrictions on Transfer. Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that such Initial Purchaser is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”). Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Issuer and the Company that it will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, such Securities by any General Solicitation, other than a permitted communication listed on Schedule II hereto, or those made with the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Company or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and it will sell such Securities only to, persons that it reasonably believes to be in the case of offers inside the United States, QIBs and in the case of offers outside the United

States, to persons other than U.S. persons (“foreign purchasers,” which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting on a discretionary basis for foreign beneficial owners (other than an estate or trust)) in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act that, in each case, in purchasing such Securities are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided in the Time of Sale Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Transfer Restrictions.”

(a) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants, and agrees with respect to offers and sales outside the United States that:

(i) such Initial Purchaser understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Issuer and the Company that would permit a public offering of the Securities, or possession or distribution of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Securities, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required;

(ii) such Initial Purchaser will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any such other material, in all cases at its own expense;

(iii) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;

(iv) such Initial Purchaser has offered the Securities and will offer and sell the Securities as part of their distribution at any time and otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S or as otherwise permitted in Section 7(a); accordingly, neither such Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates nor any persons acting on its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and any such Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates and any such persons have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S;

(v) such Initial Purchaser, in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom (each, a “Relevant State”), has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available the Securities to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (the “UK”). For these purposes, (a) a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”) and in respect of the United Kingdom The Prospectus (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the “UK Prospectus Regulation”); and (b) the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the EEA or in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. This offering memorandum is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation. References to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the UK, those Regulations or Directives as they form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK domestic law, as appropriate.

(vi) such Initial Purchaser has represented and agreed (A) that it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within

the meaning of Section 21 of the United Kingdom Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of such Act is complied with or does not apply to the Company and (B) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of such Act with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom;

(vii) such Initial Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan, and represents that it has not offered or sold, and agrees not to offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Securities in Japan or for the account of any resident thereof except pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan and otherwise in compliance with applicable provisions of Japanese law; and

(viii) such Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of sales of the Securities, it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

“The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the closing date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S (or Rule 144A if available) under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.”

Terms used and not otherwise defined in this Section 7(b) have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees not to use any Additional Written Offering Communication other than those approved by the Company in advance in writing or those that, if

this offering of Securities were registered under the Securities Act, would not result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) such Additional Written Offering Communication as a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser that otherwise would not be required to be so filed by the Company, but for the action of the Initial Purchaser.

(c) Each Initial Purchaser has not and, severally and not jointly, agrees that it will not enter into any contractual arrangement with any distributor (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the distribution of Securities, provided, however, that nothing in this provision precludes the Initial Purchasers from entering into any such contractual arrangement (i) between and among themselves, (ii) with their respective affiliates or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and the Company and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 5 hereof, counsels for the Issuer, the Company and the Initial Purchasers may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers and their compliance with their agreements contained in this Section 7, and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

8. Indemnity and Contribution. The Issuer and the Company agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Issuer and the Company, any General Solicitation made by the Issuer and the Company, or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through you expressly for use therein.

(a) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Company and their respective directors, their respective officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Company to such Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through you expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Issuer and the Company in accordance with Section 6(c), any General Solicitation set forth in Schedule II hereto, or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or

threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer and the Company or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(d) The Issuer and the Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be

deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer and the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, any person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any affiliate of any Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Company, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Issuer or the Company and acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Termination. The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchasers. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser, the Issuer or the Company. In any such case either you or the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Issuer or the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Issuer or the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Issuer and the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers or such Initial Purchasers as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Issuer, the Company and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the conduct of the offering of the Securities, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(a) The Issuer and the Company acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Securities: the Initial Purchasers have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Issuer, the Company or any other person, the Initial Purchasers owe the Issuer and the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) if any, and the Initial Purchasers may have interests that differ from those of the Issuer and the Company. The Issuer and the Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Initial Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Section 8 hereof, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any subsequent purchaser or other purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely by reason of such purchase.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

15. Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. The Issuer and the Company, jointly and severally, agree that:

(a) Any suit, action or proceeding against the Issuer or Company arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any state or U.S. Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and the Issuer and the Company each irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer and the Company each irrevocably

waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Agreement, including such actions, suits or proceedings relating to securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer or the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Issuer or the Company in the manner provided by this Section 15.

(b) The Issuer and the Company each hereby appoint Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc., as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any state or U.S. Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Authorized Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as said agent for service of process. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Issuer and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action involving the Issuer or the Company arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Any action, suit or proceeding brought by the Issuer and/or the Company against the Initial Purchasers arising out of or based upon this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be brought solely in a U.S. Federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and the Issuer and the Company shall not initiate or seek to initiate, in any other jurisdiction other than in such New York courts, any action, suit or proceeding against the Initial Purchasers arising out of or based upon this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. The foregoing shall apply, without limitation, to any action seeking to obtain any injunction or declaratory judgment against the enforcement of, or a declaratory judgment concerning, any claim by the Initial Purchasers in respect of this Agreement and any transaction contemplated herein, and any action challenging the enforceability of or seeking to invalidate in any respect the submission by the Issuer and the Company hereunder to the jurisdiction of such New York courts or the designation, pursuant to this Section 15, of the laws of the State of New York as the law applicable to this Agreement.

(d) The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

16. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Initial Purchasers could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Issuer and the Company with respect to any sum due from it to any Initial Purchaser or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Initial Purchaser or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Initial Purchaser or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser or controlling person hereunder, the Issuer and the Company, jointly and severally, agree as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Initial Purchaser or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser or controlling person hereunder, such Initial Purchaser or controlling person agrees to pay to the Issuer and Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser or controlling person hereunder.

17. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

18. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Initial Purchasers shall be delivered, mailed or sent to to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co., LLC at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Investment Banking Division (facsimile: (000) 000-0000), with a copy to the Legal Department and to BofA Securities, Inc. at 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX0-000-00-00, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: High Grade Transaction Management (Facsimile: (000) 000 0000); if to the Issuer, the Company or the Authorized Agent shall be delivered, mailed or sent to it at 00000 Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxxx X.

Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade 2031 Notes prior to the delivery of the 2031 Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the 2031 Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the 2031 Notes who wish to trade 2031 Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their own advisor.

**	Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

The 2031 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the laws of any other place, and are being offered only (1) to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (2) outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

(i) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of [●] p.m. New York time on June [●], 2020, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

EXHIBIT C

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXX AND CALDER

1	Opinions

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1.1	The Issuer has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

1.2	The Issuer has all requisite power and authority under the Memorandum and Articles of Association to enter into, execute and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Notes.

1.3

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents do not, and the issue and offer of the Notes by the Company and the performance by the Issuer of its obligations thereunder will not, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Memorandum and Articles, or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer currently in force in the Cayman Islands.

1.4

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been authorised by and on behalf of the Issuer and, assuming the Transaction Documents have been executed and unconditionally delivered by a duly authorised signatory of the Issuer the Transaction Documents, have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Issuer, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms.

1.5

The Notes have been duly authorised by the Issuer and when the Notes are signed in facsimile or manually by an authorised signatory of the Issuer and, when, authenticated in the manner set forth in the Indenture and delivered against due payment, the conditions relating to the issuance of the Notes contained in the Indenture have been satisfied and when appropriate entries are made in the securities register in respect of the Notes, the Notes will be duly executed, issued and delivered and the Notes will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

C-3

1.6	No authorisations, consents, approvals, licences, validations or exemptions are required by law from any governmental authorities or agencies or other official bodies in the Cayman Islands in connection with:

(a)

the creation, execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents and the Notes by the Issuer;

(b)

subject to the payment of the appropriate stamp duty, enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the Notes against the Issuer; or

(c)

the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, and the Notes.

1.7	Except as set forth in the qualification at paragraph 4.3 below, no stamp duties, taxes, fees or charges are payable (either by direct assessment or withholding) to the government or other taxing authority in the Cayman Islands under the laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of:

(a)

the creation, offering, issue or delivery of the Notes;

(b)

the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents and the Notes;

(c)

the enforcement or admissibility in evidence of the Transaction Documents and the Notes;

(d)

payments made under, or pursuant to, the Transaction Documents and the Notes; or

(e)

gains derived from the disposal of the Notes.

The Cayman Islands currently have no form of income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

C-4

1.8	The courts of the Cayman Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the Transaction Documents and the Notes.

1.9

Based solely on our search of the Register of Writs and Other Originating Process (together, the “Court Register”) maintained by the Clerk of the Court of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands from the date of incorporation of the Issuer to the close of business (Cayman Islands time) on [●] June 2020 (the “Litigation Search”), the Court Register disclosed no writ, originating summons, originating motion, petition (including any winding up petition), counterclaim nor third party notice (“Originating Process”) nor any amended Originating Process pending before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, in which the Issuer is identified as a defendant or respondent.

1.10

Although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the Relevant Jurisdiction, a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognised and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment:

(a)

is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;

(b)

imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;

(c)

is final;

(d)

is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and

(e)

was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

1.11	It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Transaction Documents or the Notes that any document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any governmental authority or agency or any official body in the Cayman Islands.

C-5

1.12	The Issuer is free to acquire, sell and hold foreign currencies and to issue securities and obligations denominated in a foreign currency under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands currently have no foreign exchange control laws or regulations.

1.13

None of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Issuer) or the holders of Notes is or will be treated as resident, domiciled or carrying on or transacting business in the Cayman Islands solely by reason of the negotiation, preparation or execution of the Transaction Documents and the Notes.

1.14

The submission by the Issuer under the Transaction Documents and the Notes to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Relevant Jurisdiction is legal, valid and binding on the Issuer assuming that the same is true under the governing law of the Transaction Documents and the Notes and under the laws, rules and procedures applying in Relevant Jurisdiction.

1.15

The Issuer is not entitled to any immunity under the laws of the Cayman Islands whether characterised as sovereign immunity or otherwise for any legal proceedings in the Cayman Islands to enforce or to collect upon the Transaction Documents or the Notes (including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction prior to entry of judgment or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment in respect of itself or its property).

1.16

None of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Issuer) is required to be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands in order to enforce its rights under, or by reason of the execution or delivery and performance (outside of the Cayman Islands) of, any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

1.17	There is no applicable money or interest limitation law in the Cayman Islands which may restrict the recovery of any amount expressed to be payable under or in connection with the Notes.

C-6

EXHIBIT D

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXX XXX

1.	Opinion

Subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Opinion, we are of the opinion that:

Capacity, Authority and Status

1.1

The Company is a public limited company and is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Ireland.

1.2

The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority under its Constitution to execute and deliver any and all of the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.3

The entry into the Transaction Documents by the Company and the performance of its obligations thereunder does not contravene:

(a)

any law of Ireland applicable to the Company; or

(b)

the Company’s Constitution.

1.4

All necessary corporate action required on the part of the Company to authorise the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder has been duly taken and the Transaction Documents have been duly executed by the Company.

1.5

No consent, authorisation, licence or approval or other action from any Irish governmental or public body or public authority and no registration, filing or recording of any of the Transaction Documents or any instrument relating thereto in any Irish public office, governmental authority or regulatory body is necessary under the laws of Ireland to ensure the validity and enforceability of the Transaction Documents against the Company or is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents.

D-1

1.6

The Company does not have any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under the laws of Ireland.

1.7

Based only on the Corporate Certificate and the Searches, the Company has not taken any corporate action for its winding up, dissolution, court protection or reorganisation or for the appointment of an examiner, liquidator, trustee or similar officer in respect of the Company or any or all of its assets. No other party has taken any action or commenced any proceedings for the winding up, dissolution, court protection or reorganisation of the Company or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, examiner, trustee or similar officer in respect of the Company or any or all of the Company’s assets, revenues or undertakings.

No Licences required

1.8

It is not necessary that the Trustee or any of the Initial Purchasers be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Ireland to enable them to execute the Transaction Documents to which they are a party and perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents to which they are a party.

Taxes

1.9

The Company should not be required to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of Irish income tax from payments pursuant to the Guarantee (as defined in Schedule 1).

1.10

Under the laws of Ireland there is no stamp duty or similar charges or duties payable in Ireland in relation to the Transaction Documents.

1.11

The statements in the Time of Sale Memorandum and the Final Memorandum entitled “Ireland Tax Considerations” are correct as to legal matters in all material aspects in so far as they summarise the laws of Ireland relating to tax.

1.12

Neither the Trustee nor any of the Initial Purchasers is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Ireland solely by reason of entering into the Transaction Documents.

D-2

Interest

1.13

There is no interest limitation law in Ireland which would apply to the Company and which would restrict the recovery of any amount expressed to be payable under or in connection with the Notes or the Guarantee (each as defined in Schedule 1) by the Company.

Governing law and jurisdiction

1.14

In any proceedings taken in Ireland for the enforcement of the Transaction Documents, the choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of any of the Transaction Documents will be recognised by the courts of Ireland pursuant to Article 3 of the Rome I Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (the “Rome I Regulation”) with respect to matters falling within the scope of the Rome I Regulation.

1.15

Council Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (the “Rome II Regulation”) has force of law in Ireland. The incorporation of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of non-contractual obligations arising out of the Transaction Documents is, in each case, in respect of non-contractual obligations which are within the scope of the Rome II Regulation, valid in accordance with Article 14(1) of the Rome II Regulation and, accordingly, the laws of the State of New York will be applied by the courts of Ireland if any claim to enforce such non-contractual obligations against the Company comes under their jurisdiction.

1.16

The courts of Ireland will enforce the submission by the Company to the jurisdiction of any State or U.S. Federal Court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York to the extent so submitted and a judgment of any such court will be enforced by the courts of Ireland if the following general requirements are met:

(a)

the foreign judgment is for a definite sum;

(b)

the foreign court must have had jurisdiction in relation to the particular defendant according to Irish conflict of law rules (the submission to jurisdiction by the defendant would satisfy this rule); and

D-3

(c)

the foreign judgment must be final and conclusive and the decree must be final and unalterable in the court which pronounces it. A judgment can be final and conclusive even if it is subject to appeal or even if an appeal is pending. Where however, the effect of lodging an appeal under the applicable law is to stay execution of the judgment, it is possible that, in the meantime, the judgment should not be actionable in Ireland. It remains to be determined whether final judgment given in default of appearance is final and conclusive.

Agent for Service of Process

1.17

The appointment of Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc. as agent for service of process in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under any of the Transaction Documents would be recognised by the courts of Ireland.

D-4

EXHIBIT E

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXXXXX X. XXXXXXXX

To my knowledge there are no pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties other than proceedings fairly summarized in all material respects in the Time of Sale Memorandum and proceedings which are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the power or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Securities or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Time of Sale Memorandum.
