                            2003 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                                  ARTICLE ONE

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

      I.    PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

      This 2003 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of
VERITAS Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible
persons in the Corporation's service with the opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the
Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in such service.

      II.   STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

      A. The Plan shall be divided into two separate equity incentives programs:

            -     the Discretionary Option Grant Program under which eligible
                  persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
                  granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and

            -     the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may,
                  at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares
                  of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate
                  purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered
                  the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or the
                  attainment of designated milestones.

      B. The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to all equity
programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under the
Plan.

            III.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

      A. The Primary Committee shall have sole and exclusive authority to
administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with
respect to Section 16 Insiders. The Primary Committee shall also have full power
and authority to administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance
Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in those
programs. However, the Board may, in its sole discretion, appoint a Secondary
Committee to exercise separate but concurrent jurisdiction with the Primary
Committee in the administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock
Issuance Programs with respect to one or more groups of persons eligible to
participate in those programs other than Section 16 Insiders. The Board may
also, in its sole discretion, retain the power to administer those programs with
respect to all persons other than Section 16 Insiders.
<PAGE>
      B. Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee shall serve
for such period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by the
Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of any
Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated
to such committee.

      C. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative
functions under the Plan, have full power and authority (subject to the
provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem
appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and
Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations under, and issue such
interpretations of, the provisions of those programs and any outstanding options
or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions
of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under
the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the
Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs under its jurisdiction or
any stock option or stock issuance thereunder.

      D. Subject to the express limitations of the Plan, the Plan Administrator
shall, within the scope of its administrative authority under the Plan, have
full power and authority to structure or otherwise modify any awards made under
the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs to persons residing
in foreign jurisdictions or held by any such persons so as to comply with the
applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which those awards are
made or outstanding.

      E. Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall
constitute service as a Board member, and members of each such committee shall
accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board
members for their service on such committee. No member of the Primary Committee
or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or any option grants or stock issuances under the
Plan.

            IV.   ELIGIBILITY

                  A. The persons eligible to participate in the Discretionary
Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows:

                        (i)   Employees, and

                        (ii)  consultants and other independent advisors who
                              provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent
                              or Subsidiary).

                  B. Non-employee Board members shall not be eligible to
participate in either the Discretionary Option Grant or Stock Issuance Program.

                                        2
<PAGE>
                  C. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its
administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority to determine,
(i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times
when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each
such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a
Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become
exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and
the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with
respect to stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible
persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when the issuances are
to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting
schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration for such
shares.

                  D. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion
either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary Option Grant
Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance
Program.

      V.    STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

      A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the
Corporation on the open market. The number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance over the term of the Plan shall not exceed Fourteen Million
(14,000,000) shares. Such reserve shall be in addition to the shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Corporation's 1993 Equity Incentive Plan.
Accordingly, issuances under the 1993 Equity Incentive Plan shall not reduce the
number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan, nor
shall issuances under this Plan reduce the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the 1993 Equity Incentive Plan. However, no new
option grants shall be made under the 1993 Equity Incentive Plan after approval
of the Plan by the Company's stockholders.

      B. No one person participating in the Plan may receive stock options and
direct stock issuances for more than 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the
aggregate per calendar year.

                                        3
<PAGE>
      C. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent those options
expire, terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior to exercise in full.
Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the
Corporation, at a price per share not greater than the original issue price paid
per share, pursuant to the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan shall
be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or
more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. However,
should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of
Common Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan
be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred
in connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance
under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the
option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net
number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock
issuance.

      D. If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or
other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made by
the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities
issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for
which any one person may be granted stock options and direct stock issuances
under the Plan per calendar year and (iii) the number and/or class of securities
and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option under
the Plan. Such adjustments to the outstanding options are to be effected in a
manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits
under such options. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall
be final, binding and conclusive.

                                  ARTICLE TWO

                       DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

      I.    OPTION TERMS

      Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form
approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document
shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an
Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan
applicable to such options.

            A.    EXERCISE PRICE.

                  1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

                  2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon
exercise of the option and shall be payable in one or more of the forms
specified below as determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant and
set forth in the applicable stock option agreement:

                        (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation,

                        (ii) shares of Common Stock held for the requisite
                  period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's
                  earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair
                  Market Value on the Exercise Date, or

                        (iii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested
                  shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure
                  pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide
                  irrevocable instructions to (a) a brokerage firm (reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administrating
                  such procedure in compliance with the Corporation's
                  pre-notification/pre clearance policies) to effect the
                  immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the
                  Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the
                  settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate
                  exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all
                  applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld
                  by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the
                  Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased
                  shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete
                  the sale.

                  Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on
the Exercise Date.

                                        5
<PAGE>
      B. EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be exercisable at such
time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be
determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing
the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years
measured from the option grant date.

      C. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

      1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held
by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death:

            (i) Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee's cessation
      of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for such period of time
      thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth
      in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option shall be
      exercisable after the expiration of the option term.

            (ii) Any option held by the Optionee at the time of death and
      exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be subsequently exercised
      by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person
      or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's
      will or the laws of inheritance or by the Optionee's designated
      beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option.

            (iii) Should the Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct or
      should the Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or
      more outstanding options under this Article Two, then all those options
      shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

            (iv) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option
      may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested
      shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's
      cessation of Service. No additional shares shall vest under the option
      following the Optionee's cessation of Service, except to the extent (if
      any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator in its sole
      discretion pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee. Upon
      the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
      expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be
      outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been
      exercised.

                                        6
<PAGE>
      2. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable
either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains
outstanding, to:

            (i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain
      exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service from the limited
      exercise period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period
      of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event
      beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or

            (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable
      post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of
      vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the
      time of the Optionee's cessation of Service but also with respect to one
      or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested
      had the Optionee continued in Service.

      D. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder
rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

      E. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to
grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should
the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation
shall have the right to repurchase any or all of those unvested shares at a
price per share equal to the LOWER of (i) the exercise price paid per share or
(ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of the
Optionee's cessation of Service. The terms upon which such repurchase right
shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the
appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by
the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase
right.

                                        7
<PAGE>
      F. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the
Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall
not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance
following the Optionee's death. Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the
same restriction, except that the Plan Administrator may structure one or more
Non-Statutory Options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that each
such option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime
to one or more members of the Optionee's family or to a trust established
exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee's former spouse,
to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee's estate plan
or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be
exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the
option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion
shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such
assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as
the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or
beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Two, and
those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be
transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee's death while
holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the
transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable
agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without
limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised
following the Optionee's death.

            II.   INCENTIVE OPTIONS

      The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options.
Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of
Articles One, Two and Seven shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options
which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options when issued under the
Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.

      A. ELIGIBILITY. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.

      B. DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which
one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option
plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time
become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not
exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the
Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

      C. 10% STOCKHOLDER. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted
is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5)
years measured from the option grant date.

                                        8
<PAGE>
            III.  CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

      A. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding option under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each
such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of that Change in
Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time
subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as
fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall NOT
become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such
option is to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or is
otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the
Change in Control transaction or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash
incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing at the time of the Change in Control on any shares for which the option
is not otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for subsequent payout of
that spread in accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule applicable to
those option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other
limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

      B. All outstanding repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to
those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of a Change
in Control, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned
to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or are otherwise to continue in
full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction
or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by
the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

      C. Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all
outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect
pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

                                        9
<PAGE>
      D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or
otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after
such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in
Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in
Control. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Change in Control shall also be
made to (i) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option,
provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain
the same, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for
issuance over the remaining term of the Plan and (iii) the maximum number and/or
class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options and
direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar year. To the extent the
actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash
consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control,
the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the
outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, substitute one
or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to
the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control
transaction.

      E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to
structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of
a Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at
the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those
shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock, whether or not those options are
to be assumed in the Change in Control transaction or otherwise continued in
effect. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under
the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall immediately
terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control transaction, and the
shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full.

      F. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure
one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so
that those options shall become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock
at the time subject to those options in the event the Optionee's Service is
subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of any Change in Control transaction in which those options do not
otherwise accelerate. In addition, the Plan Administrator may structure one or
more of the Corporation's repurchase rights so that those rights shall
immediately terminate with respect to any shares held by the Optionee at the
time of such Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those terminated
repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time.

                                       10
<PAGE>
      G. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to
structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of
a Hostile Take-Over, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at
the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those
shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan
Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of
the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program
so that those rights shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of such
Hostile Take-Over, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall
thereupon vest in full. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition the
automatic acceleration of one or more outstanding options under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program and the termination of one or more of the
Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights under such program upon the
subsequent termination of the Optionee's Service by reason of an Involuntary
Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months)
following the effective date of such Hostile Take-Over.

      H. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a
Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over shall remain exercisable as an Incentive
Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000)
limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded,
the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Nonstatutory
Option under the Federal tax laws.

      I. The outstanding options shall in no way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                             STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

      I.    STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

      Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program
through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option grants. In
no event, however, may more than five percent (5%) of the total number of shares
of Common Stock from time to time authorized for issuance under the Plan be
issued pursuant to the Stock Issuance Program. Each stock issuance under the
program shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the
terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock
Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to
receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the
satisfaction of specified Service requirements.

            A.    ISSUE PRICE.

                  1. The consideration per share at which shares of Common Stock
may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator, but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issuance date.

                  2. Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock
Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance:

                        (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or

                        (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any
                  Parent or Subsidiary).

            B.    VESTING PROVISIONS.

                  1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance
Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and
immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over
the Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested
shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be
determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock Issuance
Agreement. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance
Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive
those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the
satisfaction of specified Service requirements.

                                       12
<PAGE>
                  2. For any Common Stock issuance which is to vest solely on
the basis of Service, a minimum period of three (3) years of Service shall be
required as condition to such vesting. The required Service period shall be
measured from the issue date of the shares in the event of a direct issuance or
from the grant date of the share right award for any shares to be subsequently
issued pursuant to such award. However, any such Common Stock issuance shall be
subject to the vesting acceleration provisions of this Article Three.

                  3. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary
authority, consistent with Code Section 162(m), to structure one or more share
right awards so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those awards shall be
issuable upon the achievement of certain pre-established corporate performance
goals based on one or more of the following criteria: (1) return on total
stockholder equity; (2) earnings per share of Common Stock; (3) net income
(before or after taxes); (4) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization; (5) sales or revenues; (6) return on assets, capital or
investment; (7) market share; (8) cost reduction goals; (9) budget comparisons;
(10) implementation or completion of critical projects or processes; (11)
customer satisfaction; (12) any combination of, or a specified increase in, any
of the foregoing; and (13) the formation of joint ventures, research or
development collaborations, or the completion of other corporate transactions.
In addition, such performance goals may be based upon the attainment of
specified levels of the Corporation's performance under one or more of the
measures described above relative to the performance of other entities and may
also be based on the performance of any of the Corporation's business units or
divisions or any Parent or Subsidiary. Performance goals may include a minimum
threshold level of performance below which no award will be earned, levels of
performance at which specified portions of an award will be earned and a maximum
level of performance at which an award will be fully earned.

                  4. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other
property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the
Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant's
unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change
affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's
receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting
requirements applicable to the Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock and
(ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.

                  5. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with
respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock
Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant's interest in those shares is
vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares
and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

                                       13
<PAGE>
                  6. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while
holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock
Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with
respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares
shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the
Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those
shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the
Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the
Participant's purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the
Participant the LOWER of (i) the cash consideration paid for the surrendered
shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of those shares at the time of cancellation
and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money
note of the Participant attributable to the surrendered shares by the applicable
clause (i) or (ii) amount.

                  7. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the
surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock which
would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant's Service or the
non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those shares, to the
extent the Plan Administrator deems such waiver to be an appropriate severance
benefit under the circumstances. Such waiver shall result in the immediate
vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which
the waiver applies.

                  8. Outstanding share right awards under the Stock Issuance
Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall
actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards, if the performance goals or
Service requirements established for such awards are not attained or satisfied.
The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue
shares of Common Stock under one or more outstanding share right awards as to
which the designated performance goals or Service requirements have not been
attained or satisfied, to the extent the Plan Administrator deems such issuance
to be an appropriate severance benefit under the circumstances.

            II.   CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

                  A. All of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights
under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and all the
shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest
in full, in the event of any Change in Control, except to the extent (i) those
repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or are otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the
terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is
precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement.

                                       14
<PAGE>
                  B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under
the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in
whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated
rights shall vest, either immediately upon the effective date of a Change in
Control or subsequently upon an Involuntary Termination of the Participant's
Service within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months)
following the effective date of any Change in Control transaction in which those
repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof)
or are otherwise continued in effect.

                  C. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary
authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under
the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in
whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated
rights shall immediately vest, either upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over
or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant's Service by reason of an
Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18)
months) following the effective date of that Hostile Take-Over.

            III.  SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

                  Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion,
be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant's interest in such
shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive
legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

appropriate arrangements for the satisfaction by participants of all applicable

options or the issuance or vesting of their shares. Such right may be provided

withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise
of options or the issuance or the vesting of such shares, a portion of those

Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the
holder.

                  Stock Delivery: The election to deliver to the Corporation, at
the time the option is granted or exercised or the shares are issued or vest,
one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder (other
than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering the
Withholding Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage
of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated
by the holder.

      II.   EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or
modification. In addition, stockholder approval shall be required for any
amendment which (i) increases the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan, (ii) materially modifies the eligibility requirements
for participation in the Plan or (iii) materially increases the benefits
accruing to Optionees or Participants under the Plan.

all applicable requirements of applicable securities laws, including the filing
and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares of
Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all applicable listing requirements of
any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which
Common Stock is then listed for trading.

      VI.   NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

            Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the
Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration
or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation
(or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the
Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each,
to terminate such person's Service at any time for any reason, with or without
cause.

                      NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.       APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY OF DISTRIBUTOR

         Seagate Software hereby appoints Distributor as a distributor of the
Products within the territory identified in Exhibit B ("Territory"), and
Distributor accepts such appointment, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. Seagate Software may modify, improve, change or discontinue any
or all of the Products from time to time, by delivering to Distributor an
updated price list which will supersede Exhibit A. Distributor's rights are not
exclusive. Seagate Software reserves the right to license directly to any
customer and may appoint other distributors in the Territory, in its discretion.

2.       SOFTWARE RIGHTS

         Distributor acknowledges that the Products sold by Seagate Software
hereunder constitute only discrete copies of software, the media in which it is
stored, and related documentation, as shipped to Distributor. Nothing herein
transfers any right, title or interest in the software or any intellectual
property rights therein to Distributor. All such software and proprietary rights
are subject to the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement
included with each Product, as more fully described in Section 3.3.

3.       GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF DISTRIBUTOR

         3.1      Promotion. Distributor shall actively advertise and promote
the Products in the Territory in a commercially reasonable manner. Distributor
shall list the Products in its catalogs. Distributor shall also transmit Product
information and promotional materials to its customers with Seagate Software
paying any applicable and agreed to program costs.

         3.2      Advertising. Distributor shall provide samples of its
advertising copy and sales literature, to Seagate Software on its request.
Seagate Software reserves the right to review and approve all uses of Seagate
Software's trademarks, service marks, or trade names in Distributors advertising
and promotion of the Products, prior to use. Such approval will not limit
Distributor's obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement and all
applicable laws and will not be deemed an endorsement or approval of any
advertising content.

         3.3      Software Licenses. Distributor shall distribute the Products
only in the sealed packages in which Seagate Software delivers them to
Distributor ("Product Packages"). Distributor acknowledges that (a) Seagate
Software will package an end user license agreement between Seagate Software and
end users (the "Software License") in each Product Package, and (b) Seagate
Software will include in each Product Package, or reproduce on each Product
package, an appropriate customer registration card (the "Registration Card").
Seagate Software may modify the Software License and Registration Card at any
time, in whole or in part. Distributor shall have no obligation to ensure that
the Products in its inventory are packaged with the then current version of such
Software License and/or Registration Card. Distributor will publish, in its
price

                                       2

<PAGE>

book, that all Seagate Software Products purchased from Distributor are
subject to the terms of the licenses and warranties packaged with the Products,
and will distribute the Products in the form received from Seagate Software with
all Licenses and Cards intact.

         3.4      Sales and Inventory Reports.

                  (a)     For Seagate Software NSMG. Distributor shall provide
Seagate Software NSMG, with weekly reports, by reseller, showing sales,
shipment, and inventory activity, and monthly detailed (customer name, address,
etc.) POS reports, relating to Distributor's activities under this Agreement as
Seagate Software NSMG may request. Distributor shall provide non-standard point
of sale ("POS") information including reseller name and address subject to the
terms and conditions of a separate Proprietary Information Non-Disclosure
Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Distributor
reports shall be made available to Seagate Software NSMG within seven days
following the week for which activity is reported. Seagate Software NSMG will
maintain such reports in confidence. In addition to constituting a breach
hereunder, failure to make available such reports on three consecutive occasions
or a total of five occasions will void Distributor's right to price protection
and sales incentive programs hereunder.

                  (b)      For Seagate Software IMG. Distributor shall provide
Seagate Software IMG with monthly detailed (customer name, address, etc.) POS
reports relating to Distributor's activities under this Agreement as Seagate
Software IMG may request. Distributor shall provide non-standard point of sale
("POS") information including reseller name and address subject to the terms and
conditions of a separate Proprietary Information Non-Disclosure Agreement,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Distributor reports
shall be made available to Seagate Software IMG within seven days following the
end of the month for which activity is reported. Seagate Software IMG will
maintain such reports in confidence. In addition to constituting a breach
hereunder, failure to make available such reports on three consecutive occasions
or a total of five occasions will void Distributor's right to price protection
and sales incentive programs hereunder. In exchange for the monthly detailed POS
reports provided by Distributor, Seagate Software IMG agrees to offer
Distributor a quarterly sales incentive rebate program, with quarterly rebate
goals to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

         3.5      Training and Support. Distributor shall provide such training
on the installation and use of the Products to its customers as is necessary to
enable them to distribute, market, install, and use the Products, as applicable.
Distributor shall provide, through its own technical personnel first-line
technical support to its direct customers. Distributor shall at all times
maintain a support capability which includes at least one technical person
trained by Seagate Software and qualified support personnel as necessary to
ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.

         3.6      Government Requirements. Distributor shall obtain and maintain
all permits, licenses and government registrations necessary or appropriate to
perform hereunder and shall make all filings with governmental authorities
required of this Agreement by applicable law. This Agreement is in all respects
subject to compliance with all such requirements. On Seagate Software's request
Distributor shall provide Seagate Software written assurances of such
compliance.

         3.7      Distributor's Business Practices. Distributor shall (a)
conduct business in a manner that reflects favorably at all times on the
Products and Seagate Software's goodwill and reputation, (b) avoid deceptive,
misleading or unethical practices, (c) make no false or misleading
representations with regard to Seagate Software or the Products, and (d) not
solicit orders from any customer that Distributor is aware engages in illegal or
deceptive trade practices or any other practices proscribed under this
Agreement. Seagate Software will use commercially reasonable efforts to review
the point of sale reports furnished monthly by Distributor and to notify
Distributor of any company on said report that Seagate Software is aware engages
in illegal or deceptive trade practices.

         3.8      Distributor's Own Account. Distributor shall conduct its
business for its own account, in its own name, and not as an agent, employee, or
partner of Seagate Software. Except as herein expressly provided, it shall
determine in its own judgment how best to perform its obligations hereunder, and
Seagate Software has no right to control such matters.

         3.9      Demonstration Copies. Distributor may use Products provided
hereunder for internal use as demonstration copies, in such number and on such
terms as Seagate Software may allow from time to time. In such event,
Distributor shall comply with and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of
the Software License included with the Product so used. Distributor shall not
resell, lease, rent, or license any Product used as a demonstration copy.
Distributor acknowledges that it will not need to decompile the Products or
adapt them to any other software in order to use them for the limited
demonstration purposes contemplated herein.

4.       GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF SEAGATE SOFTWARE

         4.1      Sales Materials. Seagate Software shall supply Distributor

time in its discretion.

         4.3      Updates and Upgrades. Seagate Software shall use reasonable
efforts to notify Distributor prior to the introduction of any update or upgrade
of a Product for distribution to the general public, and shall make such update

decide, in its sole discretion, whether to make an update or upgrade available
at no additional charge or as a separately-priced item.

                  (a)     For Seagate Software NSMG Products. Seagate Software

may return for credit a Seagate Software NSMG Product which was shipped by

7.       WARRANTIES

         7.1      Limited Warranty. Seagate Software hereby warrants to
Distributor and its customers that the physical diskette (s), CD ROM or other
physical form in which the software is provided and the documentation will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from date
of shipment by Distributor's customer to the end user. Distributor's exclusive
remedy and Seagate Software's sole obligation arising out of this Warranty shall
be for Seagate Software to replace the defective physical diskette(s), CD ROM or
other physical form, and/or documentation, as applicable, provided Distributor
returns the defective items to Seagate Software within the above-referenced
ninety (90) day warranty period and in accordance with the return procedures
specified in Section 5.4. The above warranty specifically excludes defects
resulting from accident, abuse, unauthorized repair, modifications,
enhancements, or misapplication, unless Distributor can demonstrate that such
accident, abuse, unauthorized repair, modifications, enhancements, or
misapplication occurred after the software left Distributor's possession.
Seagate Software makes no other representation, warranty, or guaranty, express
or implied, regarding the Products. Seagate Software may in its sole discretion
modify this Warranty at any time and from time to time.

         7.2      Ownership. Seagate Software is the owner, or is the lawful
licensee, without encumbrances, of the Products.

         7.3      Unrestricted Rights. Seagate Software has the unrestricted
right and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement.

         7.4      DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN WRITING IN THIS AGREEMENT,
SEAGATE SOFTWARE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES, OR
GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE
PRODUCTS AND ANY SERVICES COVERED BY OR FURNISHED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED CONDITION OR WARRANTY (A) OF
MERCHANTABILITY, (B) OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR (C) ARISING FROM
COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

         7.5      Year 2000. Seagate Software warrants that the Products
identified as Year 2000 Ready on the Seagate Software NSMG Year 2000 Readiness
Statement attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and the Seagate Software IMG Year 2000
Readiness Statement attached hereto as Exhibit "H" are Year 2000 Ready, as set
forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Year 2000 Readiness"
shall mean that Product functionality is not adversely affected by processing of
dates prior to, during and after the Year 2000, but only if all other products
(e.g. hardware, firmware and other software, whether or not provided by or
obtained from Seagate Software) used with the particular Product properly
exchange accurate date data with it; and only if the particular Product is
correctly configured and used within its intended operating environment. The
Products hereunder have been tested by Seagate Software for Year 2000 Readiness
on a stand-alone basis and only within their intended operating environment.
Distributor's exclusive remedy and Seagate Software's entire liability with
respect to this Year 2000 warranty will be that Seagate Software shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to correct the Products. Seagate Software will
assume Distributor's liabilities to end users of the Products which result from
breach of this warranty, up to the maximum liability contained in this Section
7.5.

8.       SEAGATE SOFTWARE'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

         8.1      Limited Rights. Distributor shall not acquire any right to any
trademarks, service marks, or tradenames used by Seagate Software or any
Affiliates (collectively "Trademarks"), or the copyrights, patent rights, trade
secrets, commercial symbols, goodwill, or other form of intellectual or
commercial property of Seagate Software or any Affiliates and shall not use such
property or rights in any manner, except as herein permitted. Distributor shall
use the Trademarks in referring to the applicable Products they identify and
shall identify itself as an authorized distributor of Seagate Software, in a
form prescribed or approved from time to time by Seagate Software or as
otherwise agreed by Seagate Software in writing. Seagate Software may from time
to time discontinue or modify the Trademarks, add new Trademarks, and revise
these instructions, to protect the standards of quality established for the
goods and services sold under the Trademarks.

         8.2      Modifications and Reverse Engineering. Distributor shall not
copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, enhance, or make derivative works of
the Products. Any such unauthorized modifications, derivative works, and
enhancements shall belong to Seagate Software

                                       8

<PAGE>

and Distributor hereby assigns all rights in them (including moral rights) to
Seagate Software. Distributor acknowledges that it has and shall have no right
whatsoever, whether by the express terms of this Agreement or by any course of
conduct, to use, review, or access the source code for the Products.

         8.3      Notices. Distributor shall not remove, change, or obliterate
any copyright, confidential, or proprietary notices incorporated in, marked on,
or fixed to the Products by Seagate Software.

         8.4      Protection of Trademarks. As between the parties hereto,
Seagate Software shall have sole and exclusive right to protect and defend the
Trademarks, at its sole cost and expense. Neither Seagate Software nor any
Affiliate shall be liable to Distributor for any loss or damage suffered by
Distributor as a result of the use of the Trademarks, any litigation or
proceeding involving the Trademarks, or any failure to protect or defend the
Trademarks. Distributor shall cooperate fully with Seagate Software or an
Affiliate, as applicable, in the defense and protection of the Trademarks, and
shall promptly and fully advise Seagate Software of the use in the Territory of
any mark infringing any of the Trademarks. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Distributor shall not seek or obtain registration, or any other
right, in any Trademark in any jurisdiction, whether in its own name or
otherwise. If it does, it shall forthwith assign all rights therein to Seagate
Software or at the direction of Seagate Software, as Seagate Software may in its
discretion require.

         8.5      Country Restrictions. If at any time Seagate Software
determines that the laws or policies of any country are or become materially
insufficient to protect its intellectual or proprietary rights in the Products,
Seagate Software may restrict or terminate Distributor's rights to use or
distribute Products in or to that country, on written notice to Distributor.
Distributor shall take all actions reasonably necessary to comply with and
enforce any such restriction or termination.

         8.6      Confidential Information.

                  (a)     As used herein, "Confidential Information" shall mean

Agreement or its activities hereunder, including without limitation technical
data, Product design and development, sales information, quantity and kind of
Products sold, prices and methods of pricing, marketing techniques and plans,
Product returns, unannounced products, product and process information, and any
other information which, if disclosed to others, might be competitively
detrimental to Seagate Software. Confidential Information shall not include any
information which has been publicly disseminated in writing by Seagate Software,
which Distributor can show it knew prior to Seagate Software's disclosure, or
which was rightfully received by Distributor from a third party without
restriction.

                  (b)     During the term hereof and at all times thereafter,
Distributor shall maintain the Confidential Information in strictest confidence,

perform hereunder. Distributor shall cause each of its officers,

                                       9

<PAGE>

directors, employees, and agents to restrict disclosure and use of such
Confidential Information in like fashion, and shall be responsible for any
wrongful disclosure and use by any of them.

                  (c)     In the event any court or other authority orders
Distributor to disclose any Confidential Information, Distributor shall use its
best efforts to protect its confidentiality and shall forthwith notify Seagate
Software thereof to enable it to seek to do so. At the termination of this
Agreement, Distributor shall promptly return all tangible Confidential
Information to Seagate Software.

9.       INDEMNITIES/INSURANCE

         9.1      Infringement Claims. If an action is brought against
Distributor claiming that a Product infringes any United States patent,
copyright, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of a third party within the
Territory, Seagate Software shall defend Distributor at Seagate Software's
expense and shall pay the damages and costs finally awarded against Distributor
in the action specifically on account of such infringement, but only if (a)
Distributor notifies Seagate Software promptly upon learning that the claim
might be asserted, (b) Seagate Software has sole control over the defense of the
claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise, and (c) Distributor
takes no action that in Seagate Software's judgment, impairs Seagate Software's
defense of the claim.

         9.2      Seagate Software's Options. If Distributor's use of any
Product is enjoined Seagate Software shall within a commercially reasonable
period of time, and at its expense, either (a) substitute equivalent
non-infringing Products for the infringing item, (b) modify the infringing item
so that it no longer infringes but remains functionally equivalent, or (c)
obtain for Distributor the right to continue selling such item. Upon threat of
claim of infringement, or if Seagate Software wishes to minimize its liability
hereunder, Seagate Software may at its option and expense, either (a) substitute
equivalent non-infringing Products for the infringing item, (b) modify the
infringing item so that it no longer infringes but remains functionally
equivalent, or (c) obtain for Distributor the right to continue selling such
item. If none of the foregoing is feasible, Seagate Software will accept a
return of the Products which are subject to the injunction and refund to
Distributor the purchase price, less reasonable depreciation, plus shipping
costs paid by Distributor. The indemnity in Section 9.1 will not apply if and to
the extent that the infringement claim results from (x) a correction or
modification of the Product not provided by Seagate Software, (y) a failure to
promptly install an update, or (z) the combination of the Product with other
software not provided by Seagate Software.

         9.3      LIMIT. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND
OBLIGATION OF SEAGATE SOFTWARE OR WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIMS OF
INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHT BY THE PRODUCTS.

         9.4      Insurance.

         (a) The parties shall be responsible for providing Worker's
Compensation insurance in the statutory amounts required by the applicable state
laws.

                                       10

<PAGE>

         (b) Without in any way limiting Seagate Software's indemnification
obligation as set forth in this Agreement, Seagate Software shall maintain
Commercial General Liability and/or Comprehensive General Liability Insurance in
an amount not less than $5,000,000 (Five Million Dollars) Combined Single Limit
for Bodily Injury and Property Damage per occurrence.

         (c) Seagate Software will, within ten (10) days of the full execution
of this Agreement, provide evidence of the existence of insurance coverages
referred to in this Section 9.4 by certificates of insurance which should also
provide for at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation, nonrenewal or
material change of coverage to Distributor.

10.      ASSIGNMENT

         10.1     Written Consent. Neither Seagate Software nor Distributor may
assign or transfer any of the rights or responsibilities set forth herein
without the express written consent of the other party and any purported attempt
to do so shall be deemed void, provided that either party shall be entitled to
assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of its relevant
assets, whether by sale, merger, or otherwise.

11.      TERM AND TERMINATION

         11.1     Term. The term of this Agreement shall be two (2) years
commencing on the effective date hereof, unless sooner terminated in accordance
herewith. The parties may extend the term or enter into a new agreement only by
their formal, mutual consent expressed in writing. Nothing set forth in this
Agreement, no course of conduct, and no oral statements shall be deemed to
constitute such consent.

         11.2     Termination, No Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by
either party for any or no cause, by providing at least 60 days prior written
notice to the other party. Without granting Distributor greater rights in other
circumstances, Distributor shall have no right to receive compensation from
Seagate Software in the event Seagate Software terminates this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 11.2.

         11.3     Payment Breach. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seagate
Software may terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration in the event
Distributor fails to cure any breach of a payment obligation hereunder within
twenty (20) business days after written notice from Seagate Software describing
the breach. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, Distributor shall not be deemed in payment breach if it withholds any
specific amount to Seagate Software because of a legitimate dispute between the
parties as to that specific amount, pending the timely resolution of the
disputed amount.

         11.4     Termination, Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement
at any time if (a) the other party fails to cure any material breach (other than

Agreement in breach of its provisions, or (h) the other party commits a breach
of a material obligation hereunder which is by its nature incurable.

         11.5     Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement will not
relieve either party from fulfilling its obligations which by their terms or
nature survive termination, except as otherwise expressly provided. Upon
termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) Distributor shall immediately
cease using and shall deliver to Seagate Software any unused sales literature
and other written information and materials supplied by Seagate Software
pursuant to this Agreement or which contain any Trademarks; (b) Distributor
shall immediately cease to identify itself as an authorized distributor for
Seagate Software or otherwise affiliated in any manner with Seagate Software;
(c) any rights or benefits which may have accrued in Distributor's favor, prior
to termination hereof, under any market development, price protection, sales
incentive, stock rotation, or other program, shall terminate and be forfeited,
except where expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement. If this
Agreement is terminated by Distributor pursuant to Section 11.2 (Termination, No
Cause) or by Seagate Software pursuant to Section 11.4 (Termination, Cause),
Seagate Software shall have the option, exercisable in its discretion, to
reacquire from Distributor, at then current prices all or part of the Products
and documentation, including translated versions, which are then held by
Distributor in inventory and not committed to sales. If this Agreement is
terminated by Seagate Software pursuant to Section 11.2 (Termination, No Cause)
or by Distributor pursuant to Section 11.4 (Termination, Cause), then Seagate
Software shall be obligated to reacquire from Distributor all such Products and
documentation which are in the then current version and in resalable condition
and then held by Distributor in inventory and not committed to sales. In
effecting the reacquisition of Products and documentation, Seagate Software
shall be entitled to set off, against amounts payable to Distributor, all
amounts owed by Distributor to Seagate Software. The repurchase period shall be
within ninety (90) days of the effective date of termination. If requested by
Seagate Software, Distributor shall furnish proof of purchase. Distributor shall
be entitled to distribute all Products and documentation which are in
Distributor's inventory as of the effective date of termination or expiration of
this Agreement and which are not reacquired from Distributor by Seagate
Software. All such distribution shall be in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

12.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

         EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS BY SEAGATE SOFTWARE REGARDING VIOLATION OF ITS
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR CLAIMS BY EITHER PARTY FOR LIABILITY FOR
CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS FOR BODILY INJURY,
PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SEAGATE SOFTWARE'S
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, WHETHER BY CONTRACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, THE
LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY OR THEIR AFFILIATES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS
OF THE BASIS OF LIABILITY OR THE FORM OF ACTION, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE
TOTAL PRICE PAID TO SEAGATE SOFTWARE BY DISTRIBUTOR, NET OF ALL DISCOUNTS,
REBATES, AND REFUNDS, FOR THE PRODUCT DIRECTLY CAUSING THE LIABILITY OR, IF NO

SOFTWARE (PAYABLE BUT NOT YET PAID). IN NO EVENT SHALL SEAGATE SOFTWARE OR ITS
AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS BY ANYONE. IN
NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER FOR BREACH
OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO
LIMIT THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY AND ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

13.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

         13.1     Independent Contractors. The relationship of Seagate Software
and Distributor established by this Agreement is that of independent
contractors. This Agreement does not give either party the power to direct and
control the day to day activities of the other, constitute the parties as
partners, joint venturers, co-owners, principal-agent, or otherwise participants
in a joint or common undertaking, or allow either party to create or assume any
obligation on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

         13.2     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties, supersedes any prior and contemporaneous oral or
written understanding as to the subject matter hereof, and excludes all implied
representations, conditions, warranties, and other terms. Each party
acknowledges that it is entering into this Agreement as a result of its own
independent investigation and not as a result of any representation of the other
party not contained herein.

         13.3     Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be modified only by a
writing signed by the party to be charged. Without limitation, this provision
shall apply equally to this Section 13.3 and to Section 11.1. A waiver of any
provision or breach is no waiver of any other provision or breach.

         13.4     Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for any
failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control.

         13.5     Taxes. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this
Agreement, Distributor shall pay or reimburse Seagate Software for all national
federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction (except
taxes imposed on Seagate Software's income), including sales or use taxes,
property taxes, withholding taxes as required by international tax treaties or
otherwise, customs or other import or export taxes, value added taxes, and
amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or to be
performed or payments made or to be made under this Agreement. Distributor shall
not deduct the amount of such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to
Seagate Software under this Agreement unless specifically required by applicable
law. In such event, Distributor shall promptly notify Seagate Software, and the
amount due shall automatically be increased to totally offset such tax, so that
the amount remitted to Seagate Software, net of all taxes, equals the invoiced
amount. Distributor shall also

                                       13

<PAGE>

provide Seagate Software with a copy of the official receipt evidencing payment
of the tax to the applicable local taxing authorities.

         13.6     Audits. Upon at least twenty (20) business days' notice to
Distributor and during Distributor's business hours, Seagate Software shall have
the right to audit, at Seagate Software's expense, the Products in Distributor's
possession or inventory and Distributor's books and records relating to its
performance under this Agreement, in order to determine its compliance
hereunder. In the event any such audit reveals that Distributor has knowingly
breached a material obligation hereunder, then, in addition to such other
remedies as Seagate Software may have, Distributor shall pay or reimburse to
Seagate Software a negotiated amount for the cost of the audit.

         13.7     Import and Export Controls. Distributor hereby acknowledges
that the Products are subject to United States export controls, pursuant to the
U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Distributor shall comply with all
applicable provisions of the Export Administration Regulations, and shall not
export, reexport, transfer, divert or disclose, directly or indirectly,
including via remote access, the Products, any confidential information
contained or embodied in the Products, or any direct product thereof, except as
authorized under the Export Administration Regulations.

         13.8     Publicity. The terms of this Agreement are confidential. No
press release or other like publicity regarding this Agreement may be made
without the other party's approval.

         13.9     Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall
be given in writing and delivered (a) by personal delivery, by prepaid overnight
or international courier service to the addresses set forth on the signature
page of this Agreement, or (b) by facsimile to such facsimile number as may be
provided in writing by a party. Notices are deemed given on receipt or attempted
delivery (if receipt is refused).

         13.10    Governing Law. Distributor acknowledges that Seagate Software
is based in the State of California, U.S.A. and requires uniformity and
consistency in the laws under which it deals with all of its domestic and
international distributors. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be governed and
construed, and all arbitration's hereunder shall be determined, in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of
laws rules.

         13.11    Dispute Resolution. Seagate Software and Distributor agree
that, before initiating any litigation concerning this Agreement or their
respective obligations hereunder, they will attempt in good faith to resolve
their dispute through nonbinding mediation. Each party covenants (a) not to
unfairly use litigation or the threat of litigation as a means to harass or
intimidate the other party, and (b) not to assert frivolous claims or defenses
in any dispute between them.

         13.12    Attorney's Fees. In the event of any litigation hereunder, the
court shall award costs and reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party.

         13.13    English Language. English is the authoritative text of this
Agreement, and all communications, arbitration's, and other adjudication
hereunder shall be made and conducted in English.

         13.14    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held, in a
final and nonappealable decision by an arbitrator or court of competent
jurisdiction, not to comply with any applicable law, now existing or hereafter
enacted, such provision shall to the extent possible be interpreted so as to
comply with such law or condition or, if such interpretation is not possible, it
shall be deemed amended to satisfy the requirements thereof. Any provision
hereof deemed invalid or unenforceable, in a final and nonappealable decision by
an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, shall be severed from this
Agreement, the balance of which shall remain enforceable.

         13.15    Acceptance by Seagate Software. This Agreement shall not be
deemed accepted by or binding upon Seagate Software unless and until a copy
fully executed by Distributor and an authorized representative of Seagate
Software is delivered to Distributor. This Agreement shall be deemed accepted
where executed by Seagate Software.

         1.       Price List. In recognition of Distributor's services as a
distributor of the Products, and for so long as Distributor is in full
compliance with its obligations hereunder, Distributor shall pay Seagate
Software for Products purchased hereunder according to the standard price list
of the relevant subsidiary, less the applicable discount set forth in this
Agreement. Such prices and discount are subject to modification in accordance
with Section 6.2. The foregoing discount shall apply only to Products, and not
to any other goods or services Seagate Software may offer, including without
limitation upgrades, updates, and maintenance services, all of which Seagate
Software may in its discretion separately offer and price. In addition, the
foregoing discount may not apply to Products offered by Seagate Software on a
temporary basis at prices below its standard distributor prices, for special
promotions or otherwise.

         2.       Payment Terms. Seagate Software shall issue to Distributor
individual invoices for each shipment of Products made hereunder. Distributor

         3.       Early Payment Discount. Seagate Software shall grant
Distributor an early payment discount of [*] for payments received by wire
transfer from Distributor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement no
more than twenty (20) days from the date of invoice. Such discount may be
amended or discontinued by Seagate Software upon providing thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Distributor. No early payment discount will be given
unless all past due invoices are paid in full, other than those invoices which
the parties agree are the subject of a good faith dispute, and such discount is
only applicable to Products identified and shipped pursuant to Distributor's
initial purchase order for "new" Product, and not to any Products reshipped
pursuant to Seagate Software's warranty provisions or returned for any reason.

         4.       Credit Information. The foregoing credit terms, and the
maximum amount of Distributor's credit line, will be subject to Distributor's

Gathering and Retrieval (EDGAR) database; and

                  (b)     Other mutually agreed to documents and information as
required by Seagate Software to demonstrate Distributor's ongoing

<PAGE>

         5.       Credit Changes. All credit lines and terms extended by Seagate
Software to Distributor under this Agreement, as set forth above or as
hereinafter granted, are subject to modification or withdrawal in the manner and
on the terms set forth in Section 6.3.

writing by Seagate Software. .Unauthorized debits shall be paid back to Seagate
Software within 15 days of Distributor's receipt of a written and detailed
request from Seagate Software. Distributor is not obligated to pay for items not
received by it.

         7.       Price Protection

                  (a) For Seagate Software NSMG Products. If Seagate Software
NSMG reduces its standard retail price, it will credit Distributor with the
difference for all Seagate Software NSMG Products which were shipped to
Distributor by Seagate Software NSMG (and not by any other party) during the 120
days preceding the date the reduced price is first offered and which are still
held in inventory by Distributor on such date. Distributor may make only one
domestic and one international credit request per reduction; except that Seagate
Software NSMG may, in its discretion, accept an additional request if
Distributor can establish that its failure to comply was a result of mistake or
inadvertence. Each such request must be in writing and delivered to Seagate
Software NSMG within twenty (20) business days after Seagate Software NSMG's
notice of the price reduction, and must provide Seagate Software NSMG with
written confirmation of the identity and quantity of the inventory for which
Distributor claims a credit, as Seagate Software NSMG may require.

                  (b) For Seagate Software IMG Products. If Seagate Software IMG
reduces its standard retail price or offers the Seagate Software IMG Products at
a lower price, including raising the discount offered, to any other similarly
situated distributor, it will credit Distributor with the difference between the
invoice price charged to Distributor and the reduced price for each unit of
Seagate Software IMG Products held in inventory by Distributor on the date the
reduced price is first offered. Price protection credit will not apply to
Seagate Software IMG Products purchased by Distributor from parties other than
Seagate Software IMG. Each request for price protection must be in writing and
delivered to Seagate Software IMG within twenty (20) business days after Seagate
Software IMG's notice of the price reduction, and must provide Seagate Software
IMG with written confirmation of the identity and quantity of the inventory for
which Distributor claims a credit, as Seagate Software IMG may require. Seagate
Software IMG may, in its sole discretion, provide Distributor's customers, on a
case by case basis, with a price reduction on inventory purchased within 90 days
of price decrease. In such case, proof of purchase by Distributor's customer
must be provided. Distributor will use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide inventory reporting of its customers' inventory.

         8.       Letters of Credit. Unless otherwise agreed in writing on a
particular sale, any letter of credit required by Seagate Software shall be
irrevocable and made payable in

                                       21

<PAGE>

sight upon (1) loading of the Products on board carrier and (2) presentation to
Distributor or its agent or bank of the commercial invoice and bills of lading
within the time specified in the letter of credit. Such letter of credit shall
stipulate an expiration date of 3 months after the date Distributor orders the
Products, be issued subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary
Credits (1983) Revision ICC Publications No. 400 (or superseding equivalent), be
transferable, and otherwise be on terms and conditions acceptable to Seagate
Software as it may require from time to time.

conditions:

                  (a)     Distributor must submit its request for stock

                  (d)     Distributor may submit only one stock rotation request
per calendar quarter;

                  (e)     the Products being returned must be new, resaleable,

                             PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
                            NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is made this 29th day of September, 1998, by and between
Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business
at 1600 East St. Andrew Place, Santa Ana, California 92705 ("Ingram"), and
Seagate Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with office located at 920 Disc
Drive, Scotts Valley, California 95067 ("Vendor").

WHEREAS Ingram has compiled and organized certain information relating to its
sales which is proprietary and confidential, and such information includes, but
is not limited to the "Point of Sale (POS) Report" ("Proprietary Information");
and

WHEREAS Ingram agrees to disclose Proprietary Information to Vendor for the
limited purpose set out herein; and

WHEREAS Vendor desires to inspect and use such Proprietary Information for it's
internal business purposes only, including, but not limited to, distribution to
its affiliates and employees and agents for purposes of calculation of
commissions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set out herein, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

1.       Vendor agrees not to use, or permit others to use, the Proprietary
Information, other than for the purpose(s) stated above. Vendor agrees to limit
distribution of and access to the Proprietary Information to employees and
agents of Vendor and its affiliated companies who require access to Proprietary
Information.

2.       Vendor agrees not to contact any customer or dealer listed in the
Proprietary Information for the purpose of soliciting a direct sales
relationship between Vendor and such customer or dealer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Vendor shall not be prohibited from contacting or soliciting those
customers or dealers (a) with whom Vendor already has a direct relationship, (b)
who contact Vendor of their own accord, and (c) who are developed as prospective
customers or dealers independent of the Proprietary Information.

3.       Vendor agrees that it shall take reasonable measures to protect the
secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Proprietary
Information. Without limiting the foregoing, Vendor shall take at least those
measures that it takes to protect its own most highly confidential information
and shall ensure that its employees who have access to Proprietary Information
have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content similar to the
provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Proprietary Information to such
employees.

4.       The term of this Agreement, unless terminated in accordance with
paragraph 6, shall be concurrent with the term of that Distribution Agreement
between Ingram Micro Inc. and Vendor dated September 29, 1998, incorporated by
reference as if fully set forth herein.

         compliance with its obligations hereunder, Distributor shall pay
