are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization

Company to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco and (ii) the Acquisition by
Newco of significantly all of the assets of the Company (the "Company
Acquisition" and together with the Merger, the "Transactions"). Pursuant to the
Transactions, The Company and certain of the Company's option holders shall

stockholders and option holders shall receive 72% of Newco common stock on a
fully diluted basis on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Reorganization Agreement;

such number of shares of Caldera common stock and shares of common stock subject
to outstanding options as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement;
and

         C. In consideration of the execution of the Reorganization Agreement by
Company, each Stockholder (in his or her capacity as such) agrees to vote the
Shares (as defined below) and any other such shares of common stock of Caldera
over which each Stockholder has voting power so as to facilitate consummation of
the Transactions.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual

are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

other rights to acquire shares of Caldera common stock) owned by each
Stockholder as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) all additional securities
of Caldera (including all additional shares of Caldera common stock and all

common stock) of which each Stockholder acquires ownership during the period
from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date.

                1.4 "Transfer", when used as a verb, shall mean to sell, pledge,

         2. Restrictions on Transfer.

         Each Stockholder agrees that, during the period from the date of this
Agreement through the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, either directly or
indirectly, Transfer any Shares owned either directly or indirectly, by
Stockholder or with respect to which Stockholder has the power of disposition,
whether now or hereafter acquired, without the prior written consent of Company;
provided that the foregoing requirements shall not prohibit any Transfer to any
Person where as a precondition to such Transfer the transferee: (i) executes a
counterpart of this Agreement and an Irrevocable Proxy in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (with such modifications as Company may reasonably request);
and (ii) agrees in writing to hold such Shares (or interest in such Shares)
subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each Stockholder
agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the
Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not (a) deposit (or permit the deposit of)
any Shares in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting
agreement or similar agreement in contravention of the obligations of
Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to any of the Shares or (b) take
any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder
contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or
disabling Stockholder from performing Stockholder's obligations under this
Agreement.

         3. Agreement to Vote Shares.

         (a) Each Stockholder hereby agrees to appear, or cause the holder of
record on any applicable record date to appear for the purpose of obtaining a
quorum at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of Caldera and at any

as such) shall vote, or cause the Shares to be voted, in favor of approval and
adoption of the Reorganization Agreement and the approval of the Company
Acquisition and in favor of each other action contemplated by the Reorganization
Agreement and any action required in furtherance hereof or thereof.

         (b) At every meeting of the stockholders of Caldera, and at every
adjournment thereof and on every action or approval by written consent of the
stockholders of Caldera, each Stockholder shall vote, or cause the Shares to be
voted, against (i) any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Caldera
or (ii) any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of Caldera
or other proposal or transaction involving Caldera, which amendment or other
proposal or transaction would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or
nullify any material provision of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company
Acquisition, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class
of Caldera's capital stock. Each Stockholder shall not commit or agree to take
any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

         4. Irrevocable Proxy.

         Each Stockholder is hereby delivering to Company an irrevocable proxy
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Irrevocable Proxy") with respect
to each meeting of stockholders of Caldera and action by stockholders of Caldera
by written consent in lieu of a meeting, such Irrevocable Proxy to cover the
total number of Shares in respect of which Stockholder is entitled to vote. Upon
the execution of this Agreement by each Stockholder, such Stockholder hereby
revokes any and all prior proxies given thereby with respect to the Shares and
agrees not to grant any subsequent proxies with respect to the Shares until
after the Expiration Date.

         5. Representations and Warranties of each Stockholder.

                5.1 Stockholder (i) is the beneficial owner of the Shares
indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, free and clear of any liens,
claims, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, charges or other
encumbrances; (ii) does not beneficially own any securities of Caldera other
than the shares of Caldera common stock and options and warrants and to purchase
shares of Caldera common stock indicated on the signature page of this
Agreement; and (iii) has full power and authority to make, enter into and carry
out the terms of this Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy.

                5.2 This Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy have been duly and
validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitute the valid and
binding obligations of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in
accordance with their respective terms. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy by Stockholder do not, and the performance
of Stockholder's obligations hereunder will not, (a) result in any breach of or
constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any right to terminate, amend,
accelerate or cancel any right or obligation under, or result in the creation of
any lien or

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

encumbrance on any Shares pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or
obligations to which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder or the
Shares are or will be bound or affected or (b) violate any order, writ,
injunction, decree, judgment, statute, rule or regulation applicable to
Stockholder or any of Stockholder's properties or assets. No consent, approval,
order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or
notice to, any state or federal public body or authority is required by or with
respect to Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy by Stockholder or the consummation by
Stockholder of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

         6. Additional Documents.

         Each Stockholder (in his or her capacity as such) hereby covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver any additional documents necessary or desirable,
in the reasonable opinion of Company, to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

confidence and (ii) not to divulge any such information to any third person,
except to the extent any of the same is hereafter publicly disclosed by Company.

         9. Miscellaneous.

                9.1     Severability.

                If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, then the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

                                     FORM OF
                              STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT

This Stockholder Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
_______________, 2000, (the "Effective Date") by and among Caldera Systems,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Caldera"), Caldera Holding, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Newco"), The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc., a California corporation
(together with its subsidiaries, "SCO"), The Canopy Group, Inc. ("Canopy") and
MTI Technology Corporation ("MTI").

                                    RECITALS

         A. The parties have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan") whereby (i) a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary
of Newco ("Newco Caldera Merger Sub") will be merged with and into Caldera, with
Caldera being the surviving corporation of such merger (the "Caldera Merger");
(ii) all Caldera securities will be converted, on a share-for-share basis, into
Newco securities with identical rights, preferences and privileges (and Newco
will assume all outstanding options, warrants, convertible debentures and other
rights to purchase shares of capital stock of Caldera); and (iii) SCO will
transfer to Newco all assets used in connection with the business previously
carried on by SCO's Server Division and Professional Services Division (the
"Server Division"), in consideration for which Newco will issue Newco securities
to SCO and assume the options held by former Server Division employees who
become employees of Newco, which Newco securities in the aggregate will
represent 28% of the fully diluted equity securities of Newco (collectively, the
"Reorganization").

         B. As an inducement for Newco to enter into the Plan, the parties
desire to enter into this Agreement, which shall become effective on the
Effective Time of the Reorganization and, among other things, grants SCO certain
rights and places certain restrictions on SCO and on the Newco securities that
SCO now holds or hereafter acquires.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.       Board Of Directors.

         1.1 Appointments. Upon the closing of the Reorganization, Newco shall
increase the size of its Board of Directors (the "Newco Board") to nine persons
and appoint two designees of SCO, Doug Michels, and ________________, as members
of the Newco Board. Newco agrees that for so long as SCO owns at least 10% of
the outstanding Common Stock of Newco, the number of directors comprising the
Newco Board shall not be increased to a number greater than nine (9), except
upon written consent of SCO.

         1.2 SCO Designees. (a) For so long as SCO owns at least 20% of the
outstanding Common Stock of Newco, Newco and its Board of Directors shall
nominate, in connection with

<PAGE>   2

each stockholder solicitation relating to the election of Newco directors, two
candidates designated by SCO who are reasonably acceptable to Newco.

                  (b) For so long as SCO owns at least 10% and not more than
19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of Newco, Newco and the Newco Board shall
nominate, in connection with each stockholder solicitation relating to the
election of Newco directors, one candidate designated by SCO who is reasonably
acceptable to Newco.

         1.3 Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, all shares held by an
entity or person controlling, controlled by or under common control with SCO
will be deemed to be owned by SCO.

         1.4 Voting Of Management Shares. Newco shall use its best efforts (i)
to cause the Newco Board to unanimously recommend to its stockholders that such
stockholders vote in favor of the designee(s) of SCO under Section 1.2 of this
Agreement (the "SCO Designee(s)"); and (ii) to cause the shares for which
Newco's management holds proxies to be voted in favor of the election of such
SCO Designee(s) nominated pursuant to this Agreement.

         1.5 Vacancies. In the event that any SCO Designee shall cease to serve
as a member of the Board of Directors of Newco for any reason, the vacancy
resulting therefrom shall be filled by another SCO Designee.

         1.6 Equal Treatment. Newco shall provide to the SCO Designee(s) that
are not employees of Newco the same compensation, rights and benefits and
indemnities as are provided to other non-employee members of the Newco Board.

         1.7 Termination. All rights and obligations under this Section 1 shall
terminate and have no further force or effect immediately upon SCO ceasing to
hold at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of Newco.

         1.8 Voting Of SCO Shares. SCO agrees to vote all of the shares of Newco
held by it in favor of the Newco nominees for election to the Newco Board.

         1.9 Voting of Certain Caldera Stockholders. Canopy and MTI agree to
vote all of the shares of Newco held by them in favor of the SCO Designee(s)
nominated by the Newco Board pursuant to Section 1.2.

2.       Restrictions Upon Transfer Of Shares.

         2.1 Permitted Sales Of Newco Stock. For so long as SCO owns (of record
or beneficially) at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of Newco, SCO
agrees that (i) it will only sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or

pursuant to the applicable restrictions, if any, of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and (ii) that it will

         2.2 Private Sales. SCO agrees to notify and collaborate with Newco
before consummating any sales of Newco Common Stock in private transactions.
Newco agrees to cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to SCO in
consummating any such sales.

3.       Voting Provisions.

         3.1 Directed Voting. For so long as SCO owns (of record or
beneficially) at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of Newco, in
connection with all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of Newco, SCO
shall vote all shares of Newco Common Stock then owned, directly or indirectly,
by it in every case in accordance with the recommendation of the board of
directors of Newco, except that SCO may vote its shares as it determines in its
sole discretion as to the following specific matters: (i) a change in the

consolidation or reorganization, any transaction of a type contemplated by
Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any
other similar transaction whereby (a) Newco is acquired by a third party, (b)
where there has been a "change of control" such that the stockholders of Newco
prior to a transaction own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the
outstanding stock of Newco or the acquiring entity after the transaction, (c)
Newco acquires another entity, or (d) Newco acquires all or substantially all of
the assets of another entity.

                  "Fundamental Rights" shall mean the right to vote Newco's

any distribution to the holders of Newco Common Stock.

         3.2 No Dissent. For so long as SCO owns (of record or beneficially) at
least 5% of the outstanding Newco Common Stock, SCO agrees that it will not
exercise dissenter's or appraisal rights or otherwise dissent or seek appraisal

approved by the Newco Board.

         4.1 Standstill. SCO hereby agrees that, until the fifth anniversary of
the Effective Date, SCO will not, without Newco's prior written consent:

                  (i) acquire, or enter into discussions, negotiations,
         arrangements or understandings with any third party to acquire,
         beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
         (the "Exchange Act") of any Newco securities entitled to vote with
         respect to the election of any directors of Newco ("Voting Stock"), any
         securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for, or
         that may otherwise become, Voting Stock, or any other right to acquire
         Voting Stock, if the effect of such acquisition would be that SCO would
         then beneficially own and/or have the right to acquire more than
         twenty-eight percent (28%) of the Voting Stock (the "Standstill
         Percentage");

                  (ii) make, or in any way participate in, any "solicitation" of
         "proxies" (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A under
         the Exchange Act, as such Regulation is currently in effect) with
         respect to the voting of any Voting Stock if Newco is at the time of
         such solicitation publicly-traded and subject to the proxy rules
         promulgated under the Exchange Act;

                  (iii) otherwise seek, either alone or in concert with others,
         to control the Newco Board; or

                  (iv) disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent
         with the foregoing.

         For purposes of this Section 4.1, any shares of Newco Common Stock or
options or rights to acquire such Newco Common Stock acquired by SCO Affiliates
who are also employees or directors of Newco pursuant to Newco's option and
employee stock purchase plans (including any options to purchase Newco
securities issued to such persons under the terms of the Plan) shall be excluded
from the calculation of the number of shares of Voting Stock held by SCO.

         4.2 Exceptions To Standstill. Notwithstanding the restrictions set
forth in Section 4.1 above:

                  (a) Acquisitions. SCO may acquire Voting Stock, and the
         limitations of Section 4.1 shall be suspended, upon the earlier of: (i)
         the date that a third party not affiliated with SCO commences a tender
         or exchange offer that is made and is not withdrawn or terminated to
         purchase, or to exchange for cash or other consideration, Voting Stock
         that, if accepted or if otherwise successful, would result in such
         person or group beneficially owning or having the right to acquire
         shares of Voting Stock (not counting any shares of Voting Stock
         originally acquired by such third party from SCO or any SCO Affiliate)
         with aggregate Voting Power (as defined below) representing more than
         50% of the Total Voting Power (as defined below) of Newco then in
         effect provided, however, that the foregoing standstill limitation will
         be reinstated if any such tender or exchange offer is withdrawn or
         terminated, (ii) the public announcement by Newco that it has entered
         into any agreement with respect to a merger, consolidation,
         reorganization or similar transaction involving Newco in which all the
         stockholders of Newco before such transaction collectively will own
         less than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the surviving or
         acquiring entity immediately after such transaction provided, however;
         that the foregoing standstill limitation will be reinstated if such
         transaction is terminated prior

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         to consummation thereof, or (iii) the sale or disposition of all or
         substantially all of Newco's assets.

                  (b) No Obligation To Dispose. SCO will not be obliged to
         dispose of any Voting Stock to the extent that the aggregate percentage
         of the Total Voting Power represented by shares of Voting Stock
         beneficially owned by SCO or which SCO has a right to acquire is
         increased beyond the Standstill Percentage: (i) as a result of a
         recapitalization of Newco or a repurchase or exchange of securities by
         Newco or any other action taken by Newco or its affiliates; (ii) as the
         result of any acquisition of Voting Stock made during the period when
         SCO's "standstill" obligations are suspended pursuant to Section
         4.2(a); (iii) by way of stock dividend or other distribution or rights
         or offerings made available to holders of shares of Voting Stock
         generally; or (iv) with the consent of a simple majority of the members
         of Newco's Board of Directors that have not been designated by SCO.

                  (c) Voting Power. As used in this Section 4, (i) the term
         "Voting Power" means the number of votes such Voting Stock is entitled
         to cast with respect to the election of directors of Newco at any
         meeting of stockholders of Newco; and (ii) the term "Total Voting
         Power" means the total number of votes which may be cast in the
         election of directors of Newco at any meeting of stockholders of Newco
         if all Voting Stock was represented and voted to the fullest extent
         possible at such meeting, other than votes that may be cast only upon
         the happening of a contingency that has not occurred.

         For purposes of this Section 4, "SCO" shall mean not only SCO, as
defined in the preamble of this Agreement, but also any entity or person
controlling, controlled by or under common control with SCO (except as set forth
in the last paragraph of Section 4.1).

be amended by the parties hereto at anytime by execution of an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of each of SCO and Caldera. The waiver by a party of
any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will not be deemed to

Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver

         5.4 Governing Law; Venue.

                  (i) Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware
         (irrespective of its choice of law principles) will govern the validity
         of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation
         and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto, except
         that the fiduciary duties of the directors and managers of parties
         hereto and its Affiliates shall be governed by the law of the
         jurisdiction of such company's formation.

                  (ii) Venue. The parties agree that any dispute regarding the
         interpretation or validity of, or otherwise arising out of this
         Agreement, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
         California State Courts in and for Santa Clara County, California or,
         in

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         the event of federal jurisdiction, the United States District Court for
         the Northern District of California sitting in Santa Clara County,
         California, and each party hereby agrees to submit to the personal and
         exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and not to seek the
         transfer of any case or proceeding out of such courts.

         5.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision
to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect
the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void
or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable
provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

         5.6 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors And Assigns. SCO may not assign
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the other parties hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and its
respective successors and permitted assigns.

         5.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement will become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will bear the signatures of
all the parties reflected hereon as signatories.

         5.8 Attorneys' Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any
part of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover, as an
element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys' fees to
be fixed by the court (including, without limitation, costs, expenses and fees
on any appeal). The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs of
suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.
