                          CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

        This Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of June 11,
2002 (the "Effective Date"), between MTI Technology Corporation, a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), and Kevin
Clark (the "Employee").

                                    RECITALS

        A. Employee was hired by MTI on or about June 11, 2002, to serve as the
Company's Vice President of North American Sales.

        B. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes that
the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) exists and that
the threat or the occurrence of a Change in Control can result in significant
distractions to its key personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such
a situation;

        C. The Board has determined that it is essential and in the best
interest of the Company and its stockholders to retain the services of the
Employee in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change in Control and to
ensure the Employee's continued dedication and efforts in such event without
undue concern for the Employee's personal, financial and employment security;
and

        D. In order to induce the Employee to continue employment with the
Company, as well as to remain with the Company in the event of a threat or the
occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company desires to enter into this
Agreement with the Employee to provide the Employee with certain benefits in the
event that the Employee's employment is terminated as a result of, or in
connection with, a Change in Control.

                                    AGREEMENT

        In consideration of the respective agreements of the parties contained
herein, it is agreed as follows:

        1. Term Of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective
Date and shall continue in effect until one (1) year after the Effective Date;
provided, however, that commencing on each anniversary of the Effective Date,
the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) year
unless the Company or the Employee shall have given written notice to the other
at least ninety (90) days prior thereto that the term of this Agreement shall
not be so extended; and provided, further, however, that notwithstanding any
such notice by the Company not to extend, the term of this Agreement shall not
expire prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the occurrence of a
Change in Control.

        agreement, satisfactory to the Employee, from any Successors and Assigns
        to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in

following a Change in Control, the Employee shall be entitled to the following

<PAGE>

                             (ii) the Company shall pay the Employee as
        severance pay and in lieu of any further compensation for periods

        cash equal to the sum of (A) the Base Amount and (B) the Bonus Amount;
        and

        on behalf of the Employee and the Employee's dependents and
        beneficiaries the life insurance, disability, medical, dental and

        hereunder with respect to the foregoing benefits shall be limited to the
        extent that the Employee obtains any such benefits pursuant to a
        subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may
        reduce the coverage of any benefits it is required to provide the
        Employee hereunder as long as the aggregate coverages and benefits of
        the combined benefit plans are no less favorable to the Employee than
        the coverages and benefits required to be provided hereunder. This
        subsection (iii) shall not be interpreted so as to limit any benefits to
        which the Employee or the Employee's dependents or beneficiaries may be
        entitled under any of the Company's Employee benefit plans, programs or
        practices following the Employee's termination of employment, including
        without limitation, retiree medical and life insurance benefits.

                      (c) The amounts provided for in Sections 3.1(a) and
3.1(b)(i) and (ii) shall be paid in a single lump sum cash payment within
forty-five (45) days after the Employee's Termination Date (or earlier, if
required by applicable law).

                      (d) The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment
or otherwise, and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of
any compensation or benefits provided to the Employee in any subsequent
employment except as provided in Section 3.1(b)(iii).

               3.2.   (a) The severance pay and benefits provided for in this
Section 3 shall be in lieu of any other severance or termination pay to which
the Employee may be entitled under any Company severance or termination plan,
program, practice or arrangement.

                      (b) The Employee's entitlement to any other compensation
or benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company's employee
benefit plans and other applicable programs, policies and practices then in
effect.



                                  Page 6 of 12
<PAGE>

        4. Notice Of Termination. Within one (1) year following a Change in
Control, any purported termination of the Employee's employment shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the Employee. For purposes of this
Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice
of Termination.

        5. Excise Tax Limitation.

               (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, in the
event that any payment, benefit or distribution (within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), to
the Employee or for the Employee's benefit paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection
with, or arising out of, the Employee's employment with the Company or a Change
in Control (a "Payment" or "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), the Payments shall be
reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so that no Payment
to be made or benefit to be provided to the Employee shall be subject to the
Excise Tax (such reduced Payments being hereinafter referred to as the "Limited
Payment Amount"). Unless the Employee shall have given prior written notice
specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the Limited Payment
Amount, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or
eliminating cash payments and then by reducing those payments or benefits which
are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments
or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as
hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Employee pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan,
arrangement or agreement governing the Employee's rights and entitlements to any
benefits or compensation.

               (b) An initial determination as to whether the Payments shall be
reduced to the Limited Payment Amount and the amount of such Limited Payment
Amount shall be made, at the Company's expense, by the accounting firm that is
the Company's independent accounting firm as of the date of the Change in
Control or, if such firm is prohibited from performing such services by
applicable law, then such accounting firm as the Company's Board of Directors or
the Audit Committee thereof, shall approve (the "Accounting Firm"). The
Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together
with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the
Employee within twenty (20) days of the Termination Date if applicable, or such
other time as requested by the Company or by the Employee (provided the Employee
reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax),
and if the Accounting Firm determines that there is substantial authority
(within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code) that no Excise Tax is payable
by the Employee with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the
Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee that no Excise
Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within ten
(10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Employee, the Employee
shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the "Dispute"). If there is
no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the
Company and the Employee subject to the application of Section 6(c) below.



                                  Page 7 of 12
<PAGE>

               (c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections
4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that the Payments to be made to, or
provided for the benefit of, the Employee either will be greater (an "Excess
Payment") or less (an "Underpayment") than the amounts provided for by the
limitations contained in Section 6(a). If it is established pursuant to a final
determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") proceeding
which has been finally and conclusively resolved that an Excess Payment has been
made, such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to the Employee made on the date the
Employee received the Excess Payment and the Employee shall repay the Excess
Payment to the Company on demand (but not less than ten (10) days after written
notice is received by the Employee) together with interest on the Excess Payment
at the "Applicable Federal Rate" (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code)
from the date of the Employee's receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of
such repayment. In the event that it is determined by (i) the Accounting Firm,
the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together
with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS, (ii)
pursuant to a determination by a court, or (iii) upon the resolution to the
Employee's satisfaction of the Dispute that an Underpayment has occurred, the
Company shall pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to the Employee within ten
(10) days of such determination or resolution, together with interest on such
amount at the Applicable Federal Rate from the date such amount would have been
paid to the Employee until the date of payment.

        6. Successors; Binding Agreement.

               (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the Company, its Successors and Assigns and the Company shall require
any Successors and Assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

               (b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder
shall be assignable or transferable by the Employee or the Employee's
beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Employee's legal personal representative.

        7. Confidential Information. Employee understands and acknowledges that
his work as an employee of the Company involves access to and creation of
confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information of the Company and its
affiliates, consultants, customers, clients, and business associates
(collectively, as defined more extensively in Exhibit "A," "Proprietary
Information"). Employee acknowledges that he executed a Proprietary Information
Agreement on April 17, 2001, to protect Proprietary Information and that he
shall continue to be bound by the Proprietary Information Agreement. A copy of
the Proprietary Information Agreement is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit
"A."

        8. Notice. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered in person, by facsimile,

        9. Non-Exclusivity Of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit the Employee's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus,
incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company (except for any
severance or termination policies, plans, programs or practices) and for which
the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights
as the Employee may have under any other agreements with the Company (except for
any severance or termination agreement). Amounts which are vested benefits or
which the Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of
the Company shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as
explicitly modified by this Agreement.

        10. No Implied Employment Rights. Employee acknowledges and agrees that
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to imply that his employment is

"at will," which means that either the Company or the Employee can terminate the
employment relationship at any time, with or without advance notice, for any
reason or no reason, with or without cause. Employee

understands that the only way that his "at will" employment relationship can be
altered is by a written agreement signed by the Employee and the President of
the Company.

        11. Settlement Of Claims. Employee agrees that the Company's obligation
to make payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall be reduced by any amounts owed by Employee to the
Company including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which the Company may have against Employee or others.

        12. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged, unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Employee and the Company. No waiver by either party
hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto, or compliance with,
any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representation,
oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof
have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this
Agreement.

        13. Governing Law. This Agreement has been negotiated and executed in
the State of California and is to be performed in Orange County, California.
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of California, including all matters of construction, validity,
performance, and enforcement, without giving effect to principles of conflict of
laws. Any dispute, action, litigation, or other proceeding concerning this
Agreement shall be instituted, maintained, heard, and decided in Orange County,
California.

        14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application
thereof in any circumstance, is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability
of any such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
other provisions hereof.

        15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, if any,
understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

        16. Severance And Release Agreement. The Employee's right to the
severance payments under this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the Employee's
execution and delivery of a release agreement in a form satisfactory to the
Company, which is not revoked by the Employee.

        17. Remedies. All rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations, options,
covenants, conditions, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other.

        18. Interpretation. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be
in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for
or against any party.

together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
