11. Covenants.

(a) Confidential Information. During the Consulting Period and thereafter, Consultant shall not use or disclose any Confidential
Information (as defined below), except on behalf of the Company in furtherance of Consultants good faith performance of his duties during the Consulting Period. Confidential Information means information concerning the Company and
its business that is not generally available outside of the Company, and includes (i) trade secrets; (ii) intellectual property; (iii) the Companys methods of operation and processes of the Company; (iv) information
regarding the Companys present and/or future products, developments, processes and systems, including invention disclosures and patent applications; (v) information on customers or potential customers, including customers names,
sales records, prices, and other terms of sales and the Companys cost information; (vi) the Companys personnel data; (vii) the Companys business plans, marketing plans, financial data and projections; and
(viii) information received in confidence by the Company from third parties. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (A) was generally available to the public prior to its disclosure to Consultant; (B) becomes generally
available to the public subsequent to disclosure to Consultant through no breach by Consultant or any representative of Consultant of this provision; (C) was made or becomes available to Consultant from a third party that, to the knowledge of
Consultant, is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality to the Company with respect to such information; (D) Consultant is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (in which event Consultant will, to the extent
permissible, give the Company prompt notice of such legal process in order to permit the Company to seek appropriate protective orders) or (E) the Company sells to a third party through a Sale of Operations or Transaction (as such terms are
defined in Schedule A hereto) to the extent that Consultant becomes an employee of that third party. Consultant shall deliver to the Company at the termination of the Consulting Period, or at any other time the Company may reasonably request, all
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, or to the work product or the business of the Company which he may then possess or
have under his control. Consultants obligations under this Section 11(a) are in addition to, and not in limitation of or preemption of, all other obligations of confidentiality which Consultant may have to the Company under general legal
or equitable principles, and federal, state or local law. For purposes of this Section 11, the term Company means the Company, its affiliates, their respective predecessors.

(b) Acknowledgements. Consultant agrees and acknowledges that the promises and obligations made by the Company in this Agreement
(specifically including, but not limited to, the payments and benefits provided for under Section 5 hereof) constitute sufficient consideration for the covenants contained in this Section 11. Consultant further acknowledges that it is not
the Companys intention to interfere in any way with his employment or consulting opportunities, except in such situations where the same conflict with the legitimate business interests of the Company. Consultant agrees that he will notify the
Company in writing if he has, or reasonably should have, any questions regarding the applicability of this Section 11.

(c) Enforcement. Because Consultants services are unique and because Consultant has access to Confidential Information and work product, the Parties hereto agree that the Company would be damaged irreparably in the event any of
the provisions of this Section 11

were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach. Therefore, the
Company shall be entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to seek to enforce such provisions specifically
(without posting a bond or other security). If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 11, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties hereto
agree that the maximum period and scope is reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period and scope and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period and scope
permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

12.
Termination. The Company may immediately terminate this Agreement and Consultants services hereunder at any time and for any reason. In the event of such termination, Consultant shall be entitled to receive (at the time set forth in
Section 5 above and Schedule A, as applicable) all earned but unpaid Consulting Fees and Success Fees through the date of termination and any unpaid Success Fee the payment date for which is on or prior to the termination date, and
except as set forth in the following sentence, shall have no further rights to payment of any consulting fees (including Success Fees) or other compensation hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination of Consultants
services by the Company without Cause (as defined below) during the Consulting Period, or material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Consultant shall be entitled to receive the full amount of his unpaid Consulting Fees and any unpaid Success
Fees, regardless of whether Consultant is providing services on the proposed payment dates, including, without limitation, upon the closing of a Sale of the Company on or prior to December 31, 2010. In the event of such termination, such
Consulting Fees shall be paid to Consultant in a single lump sum on the termination date and such Success Fees shall be paid to Consultant at the applicable times set forth on Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 12, Cause shall mean
(i) Consultants indictment for or conviction of an act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in material economic or financial injury to the Company or its affiliates; or (ii) Consultants material breach of any of his material
obligations under this Agreement with five (5) days of Notice and opportunity to cure.

13. Indemnification. The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Consultant from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, settlements (subject to the Companys reasonable agreement), judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and litigation expenses, based upon or arising out of any of the activities described in this Agreement, where any such claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, settlements, judgments, liabilities,
losses, damages, costs or expenses are directly or indirectly caused by (i) any action of Consultant within the scope of his authority under this Agreement, (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, any of its
affiliates or any of their respective employees or (iii) the material breach of any provision hereof by the Company. Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all successful claims, demands, actions,
suits, proceedings, settlements (subject to the Companys reasonable agreement), judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and litigation expenses, based upon or arising out

of the activities described in this Agreement, where any such claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, settlements, judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses are caused by
(i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant or (ii) Consultants material breach of this Agreement, provided that the liability of Consultant under this Section 13 shall be limited to the amount of the Consulting
Fees and Success Fees actually paid to Consultant hereunder.

14. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, arrangements, agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, with respect to understanding or agreement, other than the Separation
Agreement, all of which are merged herein and shall be of no further force or effect. No Party hereto shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention unless set forth herein or in an
instrument or other writing delivered hereafter and signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Each of the Parties acknowledges and represents that, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement (or in the Separation Agreement) or in an
instrument or other writing delivered hereafter and signed by the Party to be bound thereby, such Party has not received any representations, warranties or promises by any person as a means of inducing it to enter into this Agreement, and further
acknowledges and represents that it does not enter into this Agreement in reliance upon any oral or written representation, warranty or promise of any person or entity that is not specifically set forth in this Agreement (or in the Separation
Agreement) or in such instrument or other writing delivered hereafter and signed by the Party to be bound thereby.

(b)
Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived except by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties hereto (or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought).

(c) Successors. This Agreement is personal to Consultant and without the prior written consent of the Company shall
not be assignable by Consultant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Consultants legal representatives. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the Company and its affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company may not assign this Agreement or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written

this Agreement expressly in writing (and deliver a copy to Consultant) and to expressly agree to perform this Agreement immediately upon such succession in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no
such succession had taken place.

(d) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without reference to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than that of the State of California.

---

(e) Effect of Waivers and Consents. No waiver of any default or breach by any Party
hereto shall be implied from any omission by a Party to take any action on account of such default or breach if such default or breach persists or is repeated and no express waiver shall affect any default or breach other than the default or breach
specified in the express waiver, and that only for the time and to the extent therein stated. One or more waivers of any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement by a Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the
same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by any Party shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent to or approval of said Party of any subsequent or similar acts by a Party.

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which
taken together shall constitute one instrument.

(g) Severability. In construing this Agreement, if any portion of this
Agreement shall be found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be given effect to the maximum extent permitted without considering the void, invalid or unenforceable provision.

(h) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other
Party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, addressed as follows:

If to the Company: Adaptec,
Inc., 691 South Milpitas Blvd., Milpitas, California, 95035 Attention: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;

or to such other address as
either Party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

(i) Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or required to enforce this Agreement or provided by law or unless compelled by an order of a court, he
or it shall keep the contents of this Agreement confidential and further agrees to refrain from generating or participating in any publicity statement, press release, or other public notice regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the other Party unless required under applicable law or by a court order. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(j) Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each Party (i) agrees that any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transaction provided for herein shall be brought exclusively in the courts
of the State of California, (ii) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of those courts, and (iii) irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection
to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action in those jurisdictions.

(k) Representation By Counsel. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it or he has had
the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of his choice prior to the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Consultant acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to consult with his own independent legal
counsel to review this Agreement for purposes of compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or an exemption therefrom, and that he is relying solely on the advice of his independent legal counsel for such purposes. Moreover, the Parties
acknowledge that they have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(l) Section 409A. The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A or are exempt therefrom and, accordingly, to the maximum extent
permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If Consultant notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that Consultant believes that any provision of this Agreement would cause Consultant to
incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with
Consultant, reform such provision in a manner that is economically neutral to the Company to attempt to comply with Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Section 409A.
The Parties agree that the Success Fees described in Section 5(b) and Schedule A, Objective #1 and Objective #2, hereto are subject to the so-called short-term deferral rule under Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
