acquired by them through the exercise of employee stock options (other than the same-day sale of that number of Shares which generates net sales proceeds equal to the aggregate exercise price of such employee stock options and the aggregate

Offering by the Company, either Silver Lake or TPG may request in writing that all or a portion of the Shares held by New SAC be distributed to the shareholders of New SAC in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of New SAC. A

necessary to ensure that any such distribution takes place as promptly as practicable. 
 
(d)    After the fourth anniversary of the date of the initial Public Offering of the Shares, any of Silver Lake, TPG, August, J.P. Morgan, GS, Staenberg or Integral may request
that New SAC distribute all, but not less than all, of its remaining Shares pro rata to the shareholders of New SAC. Upon the receipt of any such request to distribute Shares, New SAC shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions

Share Holding Period, Silver Lake, TPG or August may demand that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of the Shares held by New SAC, consummate such sale, and distribute the proceeds of such sale pro rata
to the shareholders of New SAC; provided that Silver Lake, TPG or August may exercise its demand right under this Section 2.1(f) only if at the time of such exercise it would be entitled to exercise a demand pursuant to the terms of Section

effect to such Transfer. 
 
(i)    Each certificate representing Shares held by a Shareholder will bear a legend on the face thereof substantially to the following effect (with such additions thereto or changes therein as the Company may be
advised by counsel are required by law or necessary to give full effect to this Agreement, the “Legend”): 
 
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT AMONG SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY AND THE OTHER
SHAREHOLDERS PARTY THERETO, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 6, 2002, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS THEREOF, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY. THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT CONTAINS,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE VOTING AND TRANSFER OF THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY, MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT.”

 
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THAT ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.” 
 
The Legend will be removed by the Company, with respect to any certificate
representing Shares, by the delivery of substitute certificates without such Legend in the event of a Transfer permitted by this Agreement and in which the Transferee is not required to enter into an Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4;
provided, however, that the second paragraph of the Legend will only be removed if at such time it is no longer required for purposes of applicable securities laws. 
 
2.2.    Transfer to Permitted
Transferees.    (a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, any Shareholder may Transfer any or all of the Shares held by it to any Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder who duly
executes and delivers an Assumption Agreement, provided that such Transfer shall not be effective unless and until the Company shall have been furnished with information reasonably satisfactory to it demonstrating that such Transfer is exempt
from or not subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. 
 

8 

 
(b)    Each Permitted Transferee of any Shareholder to which Shares are transferred shall, and such Shareholder shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, transfer back to such Shareholder (or to another Permitted
Transferee of such Shareholder) any Shares it owns prior to such Permitted Transferee ceasing to be a Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder. 
 
(c)    This Section 2.2 shall not apply to the grant by J.P. Morgan of a participation interest to one or more other
investment funds managed by a controlled Affiliate of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. without change in record ownership. 
 
2.3.    Tag-Along Rights.    (a)    So long as this Agreement remains
in effect, in the case of a proposed Transfer of Shares in excess of twelve million (12,000,000) of the issued and outstanding Shares (as adjusted for any dividend, share split or other distribution, recapitalization or reclassification with respect
to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, such Shares) in a single transaction or related series of transactions by Silver Lake, TPG or August (a “Selling Shareholder”) (other than (i) pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, (ii)
following the initial Public Offering by the Company pursuant to the exercise of rights set forth in Article III or (iii) in a bona fide sale to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) (a “Proposed Sale”), Silver
Lake, TPG, August or Integral (each of such Shareholders who exercises their rights under this Section 2.3(a), a “Tagging Shareholder”) shall have the right to require the proposed Transferee (a “Proposed
Transferee”) to purchase from such Tagging Shareholder up to the number of Shares of the same class proposed to be Transferred equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole Share) of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the
aggregate number of Shares of such class owned by such Tagging Shareholder by (B) the aggregate number of Shares of such class owned by the Selling Holder and all Tagging Shareholders and (ii) the total number of Shares of such class proposed to be
directly or indirectly Transferred to the Proposed Transferee in the Proposed Sale, at the same price per Share and upon the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, time of payment and form of consideration) as to be paid and given
to the Selling Holder; provided that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to sell Shares to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 2.3, each Tagging Shareholder must agree to make to the Proposed Transferee the same
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Holder agrees to make in connection with the Proposed Sale and agree to the same conditions to the Proposed Sale as the Selling Holder agrees (except that, in the case
of representations, warranties, conditions, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Holder, each Tagging Shareholder shall make comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements and
shall agree to comparable conditions, in each case to the extent applicable and pertaining specifically to itself and only to itself); provided that all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements (other than those
referred to in the immediately preceding exception) shall be made by the Selling Holder and each Tagging Shareholder severally and not jointly and that any liability to the Selling Holder and the Tagging Shareholders thereunder shall be borne by
each of them on a pro rata basis determined according to the number of Shares sold by each of them. Each Tagging Shareholder will be responsible for its proportionate share of the costs of the Proposed Sale to the extent not paid or reimbursed by
the Proposed Transferee or the Company. 
 

9 

 
(b)    The Selling Holder will give notice to each Tagging Shareholder of each Proposed Sale not later than five days after the execution of the definitive agreement relating to the Proposed Sale, setting forth
the number of Shares proposed to be so Transferred, the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, the proposed amount and form of consideration (and if such consideration consists in part or in whole of property other than cash, the Selling
Holder will provide such information, to the extent reasonably available to the Selling Holder, relating to such non-cash consideration as the Tagging Shareholders together may reasonably request in order to evaluate such non-cash consideration) and
other terms and conditions of payment offered by the Proposed Transferee. The Selling Holder will deliver or cause to be delivered to each Tagging Shareholder copies of all transaction documents relating to the Proposed Sale as the same become
available. The tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.3 must be exercised by the Tagging Shareholders within five Business Days following receipt of the notice required by the preceding sentence by delivery of a written notice to the Selling
Holder indicating its desire to exercise its rights and specifying the number of Shares it desires to sell. 
 
(c)    If any Tagging Shareholder exercises its rights under Section 2.3(a), the closing of the purchase of the Shares
with respect to which such rights have been exercised will take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Selling Holder’s Shares to the Proposed Transferee. 
 
2.4.    Rights and Obligations of Transferees.    Any
Transferee of Shares (other than Transferees who acquire Shares (i) pursuant to Section 2.2, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of rights set forth in Article III or, (iii) following the initial Public Offering by the Company, in a bona fide sale to the
public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) will be required, at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, to become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an Assumption Agreement and, upon executing and delivering an
Assumption Agreement, will be treated as a Shareholder for all purposes hereof; provided, however, that no such Transferee will acquire any rights (but will be subject to the obligations) under Article IV unless it acquires all of the
Shares held by either Silver Lake and its Permitted Transferees, TPG and its Permitted Transferees or August and its Permitted Transferees, as the case may be. 
 
ARTICLE III.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 
3.1.    Piggyback Rights.    (a)    If the
Company at any time following the initial Public Offering by the Company proposes to register any of the Shares under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar
purposes), whether or not for sale for its own account (including pursuant to Section 3.3), it will, at each such time, give prompt written notice to the Registration Rights Holders of its intention to do so and of the Registration Rights
Holders’ rights under this Section 3.1. Upon the written request of any Registration Rights Holder made within 14 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be
disposed of by such Registration Rights Holder), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Registration Rights Holders have so requested to be
registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company or any
other holder of securities that initiated such registration (an “Initiating Holder”) shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company or such Initiating
Holder may, at its election, give written notice of such determination 

 

10 

to the Registration Rights Holders and, thereupon, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in
connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith), and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, the Registration Rights Holders of Registrable
Securities requesting to be included in the registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company, on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company or the Initiating Holders, as the case may be,
with, in the case of a combined primary and secondary offering, such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings. If a
registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) involves an underwritten public offering, any Registration Rights Holder requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration
statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register all or any portion of such securities in connection with such registration. Nothing in this Section 3.1(a) shall operate to limit the right of a Registration Rights Holder to (i)
request the registration of Registrable Securities that consist of Shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities, as applicable, held by such Registration Rights Holder notwithstanding
the fact that at the time of request such Registration Rights Holder holds only such securities and not the underlying Shares or (ii) request the registration at one time of Registrable Securities that consist of both Shares and securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares. 
 
(b)    The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.1. 
 
(c)    If a registration pursuant to this
Section 3.1 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the
number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered in such offering, then the Company will include in such registration (i) first, 100% of
the securities, if any, the Company proposes to sell for its own account, provided that the registration of Shares contemplated by this Section 3.1 was initiated by the Company with respect to shares intended to be registered for sale for its
own account, (ii) second, the number of securities requested to be included by New SAC, if any, in such registration which in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold, without having the adverse effect referred to above, and (iii) third,
such number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, which number of Registrable Securities shall be
allocated pro rata among all such requesting holders of Registrable Securities, based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such requesting holder of Registrable Securities. In the event that (i) the Company did not
initiate the registration of securities intended to be registered for sale for its own account and (ii) the number of Registrable Securities and Shares of other holders, in each case entitled to registration rights with respect to such Shares
requested to be included in such registration is less than the number which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold, the Company may include in such registration securities it proposes to sell for its own account up to the number of
securities that, in the opinion of the underwriter, can be sold.

3.2.    Demand Registration.    (a)    At any time after the 180th day following the initial Public Offering by the Company and, in the case of Silver Lake, TPG or
August, after New SAC has distributed Shares pursuant to Section 2.1, upon the written request of any of New SAC, TPG, Silver Lake or August (a “Demand Party”) requesting that the Company effect the registration (a “Demand
Registration”) under the Securities Act of all or part of such Demand Party’s Registrable Securities and specifying the amount and intended method of disposition thereof, the Company will promptly give written notice of such requested
registration to the other holders of Registrable Securities and other holders of securities entitled to notice of such registration and thereupon will, as expeditiously as possible, file a registration statement to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of: 
 
(i)    such Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Registration Rights Holders; and 
 
(ii)    the Registrable Securities of other holders which the Company has
been requested to register by written request given to the Company within 14 days after the giving of such written notice by the Company (which request shall specify the amount and intended method of disposition of such securities); 
 
all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the
intended method thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities and such other securities so to be registered; provided that the Company shall not be required to effect the registration of Registrable Securities (i) at the request of New
SAC under this Section 3.2(a) on more than six occasions, (ii) at the request of Silver Lake under this Section 3.2(a) or under Section 2.1(f) on more than three occasions, (iii) at the request of TPG under this Section 3.2(a) or under Section
2.1(f) on more than three occasions, or (iv) at the request of August under this Section 3.2(a) or under Section 2.1(f) on more than one occasion; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to
any registration request under this Section 3.2(a): 
 
(x)    within a period of 180 days (or such lesser period as the managing underwriters in an underwritten offering may permit) after the effective date of any other registration statement relating to any
registration request under this Section 3.2(a), Section 2.1(f) or relating to any registration effected under Section 3.1; 
 
(y)    if with respect thereto the managing underwriter, the SEC, the Securities Act, or the form on
which the registration statement is to be filed, would require the conduct of an audit other than the regular audit conducted by the Company at the end of its fiscal year, in which case the filing may be delayed until the completion of such audit
(and the Company shall, upon request of TPG, Silver Lake or August, as the case may be, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such audit to be completed expeditiously and without unreasonable delay); or 
 
(z)    if the Company is
in possession of material non-public information and the Board determines in good faith that disclosure of such information would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, in which case the filing of the registration
statement may be delayed until the earlier of the second Business Day after such conditions shall have ceased to exist and the 90th day after receipt by the Company of the written request from TPG, Silver Lake or August, as the case may be, to
register Registrable Securities under this Section 3.2(a). 
 

12 

 
Nothing in this Section
3.2(a) shall operate to limit the right of a Registration Rights Holder to (i) request the registration of Registrable Securities that consist of Shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
securities, as applicable, held by such Registration Rights Holder notwithstanding the fact that at the time of request such Registration Rights Holder holds only such securities and not the underlying Shares or (ii) request the registration at one
time of Registrable Securities that consist of both Shares and securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares. 
 
(b)    The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities
requested pursuant to this Section 3.2. 
 
(c)    A registration requested pursuant to this Article III will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has become effective; provided that, if, within 180 days after it has become effective, the
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, then such registration will be deemed not to have been
effected. 
 
(d)    If a
requested registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 involves an underwritten offering and regardless of whether the Company is registering any securities therein, the Board shall have the right to select the investment banker or bankers and managers
to administer the offering, including the lead managing underwriter. 
 
(e)    If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered in
such offering, then the Company will include in such registration such number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect
referred to above, which number shall be allocated pro rata among all such holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such holder of
Registrable Securities. In the event that the number of Registrable Securities and Shares of other holders, in each case entitled to registration rights with respect to such Shares requested to be included in such registration is less than the
number which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold, the Company may include in such registration securities it proposes to sell for its own account up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of the underwriter, can be
sold. 
 
(f)    August agrees
not to exercise any demand registration rights it may have pursuant to Section 3.2 of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of each of Silver Lake and TPG. Each of Silver Lake and TPG agree not to exercise
any demand registration rights it may have pursuant to Section 3.2 of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of TPG, in the case of Silver Lake; or Silver Lake, in the case of TPG. 
 

13 

 
3.3.    Form S-3 Registration.    If the Company receives from New SAC, Silver Lake, TPG or August a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or
any successor to Form S-3) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Shareholder or Shareholders, the Company will: 
 
(a)    promptly give notice of the
proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to the other Registration Rights Holders who hold Registrable Securities; and 
 
(b)    as expeditiously as possible, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registration Rights Holder’s or Registration Rights Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or
such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Registration Rights Holder or Registration Rights Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fourteen (14) days after receipt of such written notice from
the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.3: 
 
(i)    if Form S-3 (or any successor form) is not available for such
offering by the Registration Rights Holders; or 
 
(ii)    if the Registration Rights Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other
securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000; or 
 
(iii)    if the Company shall furnish to the Registration Rights Holders a certificate signed by the
chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would not be in the best interests of the Company for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the
filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Registration Rights Holder or Registration Rights Holders under this Section 3.3; provided, that such right to
delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or 
 
(iv)    if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request,
already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Registration Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3.3; or 
 
(v)    in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business
or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

 

14 

 
(c)    Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as expeditiously as possible after
receipt of the request or requests of the Registration Rights Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 3.2. 
 
(d)    The Company will pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.3. 
 
3.4.    Registration Procedures.    If and whenever the Company is required to file a
registration statement with respect to, or to use its reasonable best efforts to effect or cause the registration of, any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

 
(a)    prepare and, in any
event within 120 days after the end of the period within which a request for registration may be given to the Company pursuant to Section 3.2, file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of securities as to which it is the Initiating Party at any time
prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto (and, in such event, the Company shall pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith); provided, further, that not less than five (5) Business
Days before filing a registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to counsel for the sellers of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all documents
proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and input of such counsel; 
 
(b)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
registration statement effective for a period not in excess of 270 days and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such
period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; provided that not less than five (5) Business Days before filing a registration statement or prospectus,
or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to counsel for the sellers of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the
review and input of such counsel; 
 
(c)    furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities such number of copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits filed therewith,
including any documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such seller; 
 

15 

 
(d)    use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration in such jurisdictions as each seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and
things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to
qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this subsection (d), it would not be obligated to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent
to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
 
(e)    use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
 
(f)    notify each seller of any such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when
a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 3.3(b), of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request
of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; 
 
(g)    otherwise use its reasonable best
efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 18 months) after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings
statement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; 
 
(h)    (i) use its reasonable best efforts to list such Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed if such Registrable Securities are not
already so listed and if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such exchange; (ii) if such Registrable Securities are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Shares, upon the reasonable request of sellers of a majority of such
Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to list such securities and, if requested, the Shares underlying such securities, notwithstanding that at the time of request such sellers hold only such securities, on any securities exchange
so requested, if such Registrable Securities are not already so listed and if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such exchange; and (iii) use its reasonable efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement; 
 

16 

 
(i)    enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form), which may include indemnification provisions in favor of underwriters and other Persons in addition to, or in
substitution for the indemnification provisions hereof, and take such other actions as sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities; 
 
(j)    obtain a “cold comfort” letter or letters from the Company’s independent public accounts in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort”
letters as the seller or sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities shall reasonably request; 
 
(k)    make available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement, by any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or
agent in connection with such registration statement; 
 
(l)    notify counsel for the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (i) when the
registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any supplement to the prospectus or any amendment to the prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments
from the SEC, (iii) of any request of the SEC to amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or
threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes; 
 
(m)    use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary
prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment; 
 
(n)    if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any holder of Registrable Securities covered by the
registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such holder reasonably requests to be included therein, including, with respect to the
number of Registrable Securities being sold by such holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable
Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment; 
 

17 

 
(o)    cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or agent, if any, or the
Registration Rights Holders that sellers may request; 
 
(p)    obtain for delivery to the holders of Registrable Securities being registered and to the underwriter or agent an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company in customary form and in form, substance and
scope reasonably satisfactory to such holders, underwriters or agents and their counsel; and 
 
(q)    cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective
counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD. 
 
3.5.    Other Registration-Related Matters.    (a)    The Company may require any Person that is selling Shares in a Public Offering pursuant to Sections
3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 to furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding such Person and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of the Registrable Securities which are included in such
Public Offering as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 
 
(b)    Each Registration Rights Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 3.4(f), it will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until its receipt of the copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus contemplated by
Section 3.4(f) and, if so directed by the Company, each Registration Rights Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in their possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company gives any such notice, the period for which the Company will be required to keep the registration statement effective will be extended by the number of
days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 3.4(f) to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement has received the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.4(f). 
 
(c)    Each holder of Registrable Securities will, in connection with an underwritten Public Offering of the Company’s securities, upon the request of the Company or of the underwriters managing any
underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, agree in writing not to effect any sale, disposition or distribution of Registrable Securities (other than those included in the Public Offering) without the prior written consent of the
managing 

 

18 

underwriter for such period of time commencing 7 days before and ending 30 days (or such earlier date as the managing underwriter shall
agree) after the effective date of such registration. No Shareholder shall be released from such lock-up period by the managing underwriter unless all of the Shareholders are so released. 
 
3.6.    Indemnification.    (a)    In the
event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3, the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the sellers of any Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement (each a “Holder”), each Affiliate of such Holder and their respective directors and officers, members or general and limited partners (and the directors, officers, employees,
affiliates and controlling Persons of any of the foregoing), each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder or any such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the
Securities Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances when they were made, and the
Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company will not be
liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, in any such preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such
Indemnified Party furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any
Indemnified Party and will survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder. 
 
(b)    The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 that the
Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the Holder of such Registrable Securities or any prospective underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section
3.6(a)) the Company, all other Holders or any prospective underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and controlling Persons, with respect to any untrue statement in or omission from such
registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement, if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such
Holder or underwriter furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter expressly for use in the 

 

19 

preparation of such registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated
by reference into any of the foregoing. Such indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Holders, or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers or
controlling Persons and will survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 
(c)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 3.6, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the
commencement of such action; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 3.6(a) or 3.6(b), except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified
and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified
Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. If, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, having common counsel would
result in a conflict of interest between the interests of such indemnified and indemnifying parties, then such Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party to represent or defend such Indemnified
Party in such action, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party will not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnified Parties (and not more than one
separate firm of local counsel at any time for all such Indemnified Parties) in such action. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. 
 
(d)    If the indemnification provided for hereunder from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified
Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and Indemnified Parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates 

 

20 

to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or Indemnified Parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 3.6(d) as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any
legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. 
 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.6(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 
(e)    Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section 3.6 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given
by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any law or with any governmental entity other than as required by the Securities Act. 
 
(f)    The obligations of the parties
under this Section 3.6 will be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party. 
 
ARTICLE IV.    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS 
 
4.1.    Board of Directors. 
 
(a)    Directors of the Company shall be elected annually. After the consummation of the
initial Public Offering, the Board shall be comprised of eleven members, consisting of three designees of Silver Lake (each a “Silver Lake Designee”), two designees of TPG (each a “TPG Designee”) one Management
Director, four Additional Directors and the chief executive officer of the Company from time to time serving (the “Chief Executive Officer”). Members of the Board who are not required to be designated by a Shareholder pursuant to
the rights provided in this Agreement shall be nominated and elected in accordance with the articles of association of the Company. 
 
(b)    A member of the Board designated by a Shareholder pursuant to the rights provided in this Agreement may only be
removed by such Shareholder. Any other member of the Board may be removed with or without cause by vote of a majority of the Shareholders of the Company. 
 
If, following an election to the Board pursuant to this Section 4.1, any Silver Lake Designee shall resign or be removed or be unable to
serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a Director, Silver Lake shall notify the Board in writing of a replacement Silver Lake Designee and each of the Company and all of the Shareholders hereby agree to take 

 

21 

such actions provided for under the terms of the Shares held by them as will result in the appointment of such Silver Lake Designee to the
Board. If Silver Lake requests that any Silver Lake Designee be removed as a Director (with or without cause) by written notice thereof to the Company, then each of the Company and all of the Shareholders shall take all actions provided for under
the terms of the Shares held by them necessary to effect such removal upon such request. 
 
If, following an election to the Board pursuant to this Section 4.1, any TPG Designee shall resign or be removed or be unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a
Director, TPG shall notify the Board in writing of a replacement TPG Designee and each of the Company and all of the Shareholders hereby agree to take such actions provided for under the terms of the Shares held by them as will result in the
appointment of such TPG Designee to the Board. If TPG requests that any TPG Designee be removed as a Director (with or without cause) by written notice thereof to the Company, then each of the Company and all of the Shareholders shall take all
actions provided for under the terms of the Shares held by them necessary to effect such removal upon such request. 
 
If, following an election to the Board pursuant to this Section 4.1, any Additional Director shall resign or be removed or be unable to
serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a Director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance committee of the Company shall notify the Board in writing of a replacement and, provided that such replacement Additional
Director satisfies all the criteria set forth in the definition of “Additional Director” herein, each of the Company and all of the Shareholders hereby agree to take such actions provided for under the terms of the Shares held by them as
will result in the appointment of such replacement Additional Director to the Board. 
 
Any director who is no longer designated by Silver Lake or TPG shall be designated instead by the other members of the Board and shall be considered a “Board Designee” for all purposes
hereunder. If any Board Designee shall resign or be removed or be unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a Director, then the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company will take such actions
provided for under the terms of the Shares as will result in the appointment to the Board of an individual designated by the Board. If the Board requests that any Board Designee be removed as a Director (with or without cause) by written notice
thereof to the Company, then each of the Company and each Shareholder shall take all actions provided for under the terms of the Shares necessary to effect such removal upon such request. 
 
(c)    The Company will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Directors in connection with their participation in meetings of the Board (and committees thereof) and the Boards of Directors (and committees thereof) of the subsidiaries of the Company. The Silver Lake Designees and the TPG Designees will receive
the same compensation that the Company pays to its Additional Directors, which amount will be determined by the Company and the Board from time to time. 
 
(d)    The board of directors of each subsidiary of the Company shall at any given time either be (i) comprised in the
same manner as the Board is then comprised or (ii) comprised in a manner reasonably acceptable to both TPG and Silver Lake. 
 

22 

 
(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Board and all of the committees of the Board will operate in such a way to permit the Company to comply with applicable law and maintain its
listing on The New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ system, as applicable. 
 
4.2.    Actions by the Board of Directors. 
 
(a)    The Shareholders and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary (including amending the memorandum and articles of association of the
Company, if necessary) to provide that, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, a quorum for any meeting of the Board shall require the presence of (x) directors constituting at least a majority of the entire Board, and (y) at least one of the
Silver Lake Designees and (z) at least one of the TPG Designees. Unless agreed to by unanimous consent of the Board in writing, subject to applicable law, no action by the Board will be valid unless approved by a majority of the directors at a
meeting properly convened at which a quorum is present. The Company and the Shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to take such further action to provide that the articles of association and/or bylaws of the Company will provide that
they may not be amended by action of the Board unless such amendment is approved in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Company and the Shareholders shall take (or shall cause the Directors appointed by them to take) such
action as is necessary to cause (i) the Board to establish executive, audit, strategic and financial transactions, compensation and governance committees of the Board, the duties of which shall be determined by the Board, (ii) at least one Silver
Lake Designee and one TPG Designee to serve on each such committee of the Board of Directors (other than the audit committee) and (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to serve as the Chairman of the strategic and financial transactions
committee. The Shareholders and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all necessary action to cause the memorandum and articles of association of the Company to provide that no action by a committee of the Board of a type
referred to in Section 4.2(b) below shall be valid unless approved in the same manner as required by action of the entire Board, as provided in this paragraph (a). 
 
(b)    Subject to applicable law, the Company shall not take any of the actions set forth
in items (i) through (iii) and (v) through (viii) below without the prior consent of at least seven of the eleven Directors and the Company shall not take the action set forth in item (iv) below without the prior consent of at least ten of the
eleven Directors. 
 
(i)    voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law; 
 
(ii)    merge or consolidate with any other Person other than a subsidiary of the Company (the “Target”) if the book value of the assets of the Target as of the end of its most recently ended
fiscal quarter preceding the earlier of the date the Company enters into definitive agreements in respect of such transaction or publicly announces such transaction (the “Determination Date”) would exceed 15% of the consolidated
assets of the Company; 
 

23 

 
(iii)    sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (including by merger, dividend or other distribution, formation of a joint venture or otherwise) any assets in one or a series of related transactions if the book
value of such assets exceeds 15% of the consolidated assets of the Company as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter preceding the Determination Date; 
 
(iv)    increase or decrease the number of Directors that comprise the
entire Board; 
 
(v)    authorize, issue or sell (including by merger or otherwise) any shares, options, warrants or rights to acquire shares of the Company in excess of 15% of the Company’s outstanding shares (other than
issuances of Shares pursuant to management options issued pursuant to plans approved by the Board); 
 
(vi)    pay, declare or set aside any sums or other property for the payment of any dividends on, or
make any other distributions in respect of (including by merger or otherwise), any shares of the Company, or any warrants, options, rights or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of the Company in excess of 15% of the
net income of the Company for the fiscal year preceding the Determination Date (excluding purchases from employees pursuant to employee benefit plans or arrangements); 
 
(vii)    redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by merger or
otherwise), any shares of the Company or any warrants, options and rights or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of the Company in excess of 5% of the stockholders’ equity, or redeem or purchase otherwise
acquire or make any payments with respect to any share appreciation rights or phantom share plans in excess of 5% of the net income of the Company for the prior fiscal year preceding the Determination Date (excluding purchases from employees
pursuant to employee benefit plans or arrangements); or 
 
(viii)    amend, modify or repeal any of the provisions of the memorandum and articles of association of the Company. 
 
Finally, the prior consent of at least seven of the eleven Directors (other than the Chief
Executive Officer and the Management Director, who shall be required to abstain) shall be required to hire or terminate the employment contract of the Chief Executive Officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.2 shall limit
the rights of any Shareholder under Article III. 
 
(c)    Unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, the Board shall follow the following procedures: 
 
(i)    Special meetings of the Board may be held at any time upon the call of at least two Directors
by oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile or e-mail notice duly given or sent at least one day, or by written notice sent by express mail at least three days, before the meeting to each director. Reasonable efforts shall be made to ensure that
each director actually receives timely notice of any meeting. The annual meeting of the Board shall be held without notice immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. 
 

24 

 
(ii)    A reasonably detailed agenda shall be supplied to each director reasonably in advance of each meeting of the Board, together with other appropriate documentation with respect to agenda items calling for
board action, to inform adequately directors regarding matters to come before the board. Any director wishing to place a matter on the agenda for any meeting of the applicable board of directors may do so by communicating with the chairman of the
Board sufficiently in advance of the meeting of the Board so as to permit timely dissemination to all directors of information with respect to the agenda items. 
 
(d)    The Shareholders shall upon request take all action provided for under the terms
of the Shares held by them to cause the memorandum and articles of association or comparable governing documents of each subsidiary of the Company to be amended to require the prior approval of the Board of any actions of the subsidiary that, if
made by the Company, would require the approval of the Company’s Board under the articles of association of the Company or under this Agreement. 
 
4.3.    Voting of Shares; Action by the Company.    At any annual or special meeting of
shareholders of the Company or in any written consent executed in lieu of such a meeting of shareholders, the Shareholders shall take all other action provided for under the terms of the Shares held by them, including by way of voting their Shares,
to give effect to the agreements contained in this Agreement. In order to effectuate the provisions of this Article IV, each Shareholder hereby agrees that when any action or vote is required to be taken by such Shareholder pursuant to this
Agreement, such Shareholder shall use his or its best efforts to call, or cause the appropriate officers and directors of the Company to call, a special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, as the case may be, or execute or cause to be
executed a consent in writing in lieu of any such meetings pursuant to applicable provisions of the Companies Law (2002 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. In addition, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to take all actions to give effect to the agreements contained in this Agreement. 
 
ARTICLE V.    MISCELLANEOUS 
 
5.1.    Competition.    Any Shareholder and any Affiliate of such Shareholder may engage in
or possess an interest in other investments, business ventures or entities of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to, or that compete with, the investments or business of the Company, and may provide advice
and other assistance to any such investment, business venture or entity, and the Company and the Shareholders shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such investments, business ventures or entities or the income or profits derived
therefrom, and the pursuit of any such investment or venture, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Upon the written request of the Company (which request shall not be made more than once in
any 90-day period), each Shareholder shall, subject to applicable law and the terms of any applicable confidentiality agreement or similar agreement or arrangement, use its reasonable efforts to 

 

25 

disclose, as soon as reasonably practicable and on a confidential basis, to the Board any such interest, investment or business venture that
involves the disc drive, disc drive component or similar information storage business that is owned by such Shareholder. No Shareholder nor any Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the
Company even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, and any Shareholder or any Affiliate thereof shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or
fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment opportunity. 
 
5.2.    Effective Date.    This Agreement shall become effective on the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Public Offering and prior
to such time shall have no force or effect. If the Company’s initial Public Offering is abandoned or is not consummated for any reason by June 30, 2003, this Agreement shall terminate without any further action of the parties hereto and neither
party shall have any liability to the other with the respect to the provisions contained herein. 
 
 
5.3.    Exercise of Certain Rights Under the New SAC Shareholders Agreement.

 
(a)    Each of Silver Lake
and TPG agree to refrain from exercising their rights under Section 2.7 of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement. 
 
(b)    Each of Silver Lake and TPG (i) agree that the composition of the Board as provided herein is acceptable to
them and (ii) agree not to exercise their rights under Section 5.1(d) of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement to cause the Board to be comprised in the same manner as the board of directors of New SAC. 
 
(c)    Each of the Shareholders agree to
waive its rights under Section 5.2(d) of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement to require the amendment of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company. 
 
(d)    Each of Silver Lake, TPG, August and New SAC agree that (i) New SAC shall not
cause the Company to make, and the Company shall not be required to make, any distributions as a result of Section 6.5 of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement and (ii) the New SAC shareholders shall have no obligation to cause New SAC to make any
distributions referred to in Section 6.5 of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement to the extent such distributions relate to the incurrence of “Subpart F Income” (within the meaning of Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended) or other phantom income by a New SAC shareholder as a result of the investment by New SAC in the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. 
 
(e)    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6(b) of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement, each of Silver Lake and TPG
agree that New SAC shall have no obligation to avoid the incurrence of Subpart F Income with respect to the business and operations of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.  
 
5.4.    Additional Securities Subject to Agreement.    Each
Shareholder agrees that any other equity securities of the Company which it hereafter acquires by means of a share split, share dividend, distribution, exercise of options or warrants or otherwise (other than shares acquired in a Public Offering, in
the public market or otherwise from persons other than the Company or another Shareholder after the initial Public Offering of the Company) will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if held on the date hereof.

 

26 

 
5.5.    Termination.    Other than as specified below, the provisions of this Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the date on which at least 50% of the
number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company have been publicly distributed or sold (including shares issued upon the exercise of employee stock options), or are being actively traded on a national securities exchange or interdealer
quotation system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Article III of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement until such time as all Registrable Securities held by the Shareholders cease to be Registrable Securities, (ii)
Article IV of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the earlier of (x) such time as the Company is no longer qualified as a “controlled company” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or (y) the date
on which at least 50% of the number of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company have been publicly distributed or sold (including shares issued upon the exercise of employee stock options), or are being actively traded on a national
securities exchange or interdealer quotation system and (iii) Section 5.3 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement until such time as the termination of the New SAC Shareholders Agreement. 
 
5.6.    Notices.    All notices, consents, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been
duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by courier service, by cable, by telecopy, by telegram, by telex or registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows (or at such other address for a party as

5.7.    Further Assurances.    The parties hereto will sign such further documents, cause
such meetings to be held, resolutions passed, exercise their votes and do and perform and cause to be done such further acts and things as may be necessary in order to give full effect to this Agreement and every provision hereof. 
 

30 

 
5.8.    Assignment.    This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as specifically
provided herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the express prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment, without such consents, will be null and void. 
 
5.9.    Amendment;
Waiver.    This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified by a written instrument executed only by the Shareholders so long as any such amendment, supplement or modification does not impose any material additional burdens on the Company. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions
hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on
behalf of any party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any covenants or agreements contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 
5.10.    Third Parties.    Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any person that is not a party hereto nor create
or establish any third party beneficiary hereto; provided that the Management Shareholders shall be third party beneficiaries only with respect to the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.6 and related definitions of this Agreement.

 
5.11.    Governing
Law.    This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 
5.12.    Binding Arbitration.    Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in
connection with, or in relation to, the construction, performance, or breach of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by arbitration conducted in accordance with the existing rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, or
any successor organization in New York or California (the “AAA”), as determined by the party initiating the arbitration. The demand for arbitration shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement.
Arbitration hereunder shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected jointly by the parties hereto. If within thirty (30) days after a demand for arbitration is made, the parties hereto are unable to agree on a single arbitrator, three
arbitrators shall be appointed. Each party shall select one arbitrator and those two arbitrators shall then select within thirty (30) days a third neutral arbitrator. If the arbitrators selected by the parties cannot agree on the third arbitrator,
they shall discuss the qualifications of such third arbitrator with the AAA prior to selection of such arbitrator, which selection shall be in accordance with the existing rules of the AAA. If an arbitrator cannot continue to serve, a successor to
an arbitrator selected by the parties shall be also selected by the same party, and a successor to a neutral arbitrator shall be selected as specified above. A full rehearing will be held only if the neutral arbitrator is unable to continue to serve
or if the remaining arbitrators unanimously agree that such a rehearing is appropriate. Any discovery in connection with arbitration hereunder shall be limited to information directly relevant to the controversy or claim in arbitration. Judgment
upon any arbitration award rendered may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HERETO UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
 

31 

 
5.13.    Specific Performance.    Without limiting or waiving in any respect any rights or remedies of the parties hereto under this Agreement now or hereinafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute, each of the parties hereto will be entitled to seek specific performance of the obligations to be performed by the other in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including during such time prior to the final and
binding decision in any arbitration contemplated by Section 5.12. 
 
5.14.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 
5.15.    Titles and
Headings.    The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 
5.16.    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement
is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected and will remain in full force and effect. 
 
5.17.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which together will be deemed to be one
and the same instrument. 
 
5.18.    Regulatory Matters.    Each of New SAC, the Company and the Shareholders severally agrees to cooperate with J.P. Morgan in all reasonable respects in the event that any proposed
distribution of Shares to J.P. Morgan pursuant to this Agreement or other transaction by the Company or New SAC would reasonably be expected by J.P. Morgan to result in a Regulatory Problem (as such term is defined in the Regulatory Sideletter
between New SAC and the predecessor of J.P. Morgan dated as of November 22, 2000) for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise structuring around such a Regulatory Problem. Anything contained in this Section 5.18 to the contrary, neither any Shareholder
nor the Company shall be required under this Section to take any action that would adversely affect such Person’s rights under this Agreement or as a shareholder of the Company. J.P. Morgan agrees to notify the Company as to whether or not it
would have a Regulatory Problem promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after receipt of written notice of the specifics of a proposed transaction. Failure to respond within such five Business Day period shall be deemed to be a
response that such transaction will not result in a Regulatory Problem. J.P. Morgan represents that, as of the date hereof and based on present law, the ownership by it of 4.9% or less of the outstanding voting stock of any class of stock of the
Company would not constitute a Regulatory Problem. 
 
5.19.    Notice and Assistance Regarding Distributions.    In the event that New SAC at any time determines that it will make a distribution of Shares in kind to the Shareholders, New
SAC will use its reasonable best efforts to provide advance notice of such event to all Shareholders. In the event that such a distribution could reasonably be expected by New SAC to 

 

32 

require further action by a Shareholder to permit it to receive such Shares or a Shareholder apprises New SAC of such (including, by way of
example, any further filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended), New SAC and the Company will use its respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate and assist with such action including, without limitation,
making any related government filings required of any of them on a prompt and timely basis. Any such cooperation and assistance shall be provided in the same manner in all material respects to each Shareholder requesting the same.

INFONET
SERVICES CORPORATION 
 
SUPPLEMENTAL
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN 
 
ARTICLE

 
Purpose and Background 
 
1.1    Purpose.  The
purpose of the Infonet Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “ISERP”) is to provide pension benefits to designated officers and designated key executives of the Employer in addition to pension benefits that may be payable to them
under the Infonet Pension Plan and any other retirement plan or agreement under which benefits may be payable with respect to such persons. In addition, the ISERP will also provide designated officers and key executives of the Employer and their
spouses and their dependent children with certain post-employment health and medical insurance coverage. 
 
1.2    Effective Date.  The ISERP was originally effective as of January 1, 1993, and was
subsequently amended and restated as of January 1, 1997, and July 1, 1998. This amendment and restatement of the ISERP is effective as of October 1, 2000. 
 
1.3    Definitions.  The capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in
Article XII hereof, unless a different meaning is plainly required by context. 
 
ARTICLE II 
 
Eligibility and Participation 
 
2.1    Commencement of Participation.  An Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the ISERP on or after the later of the Effective Date and the date he executes and returns to the President
a Participation Form, provided that at the time such person elects to participate in the ISERP, he is a participant in the Infonet Pension Plan or, in the case of an 

 
employee of an Affiliate, such
other pension or retirement plans as are designated by the President in the Participation Form. 
 
2.2    Cessation of Participation.  Except as may otherwise be required pursuant to Article VIIA, a person shall cease to be a Participant in the ISERP upon the
completion of the distribution of the Participant’s pension benefits under the ISERP, provided he is not continuing accruals under Section 4.2 of the ISERP. A Participant who ceases to be a participant in the Infonet Pension Plan, or in the
case of an employee of an Affiliate, such other pension or retirement plans as are designated by the President in the Participation Form, shall cease pension benefit accruals under the ISERP as of the last day of the Plan Year in which the
Participant ceases to participate in the Infonet Pension Plan or such other plan or plans. 
 
ARTICLE III 
 
Eligibility for Pension Benefits 
 
A Participant shall become eligible to commence receiving pension benefits under the ISERP (a) after the Participant’s Separation from Service and (b) after attaining the minimum Deemed Age and the specified sum of Deemed Age
plus Deemed Years of Service in the Participant’s Participation Form. However, a Participant who has attained the minimum Deemed Age specified in the Participant’s Participation Form on or prior to July 1, 1998 may elect to have his Lump
Sum Value transferred to his account under the IDIP in accordance with the election provided in Section 5.4(b) hereof. 
 
ARTICLE IV 
 
Pension Benefits 
 
4.1    Pension Benefits Generally.  With the exception of a Participant who makes an election under Section 5.4(b) hereof while he is accruing pension benefits under the ISERP to have his
Lump Sum Value transferred to his account under the IDIP and subsequently 
 

-2- 

 
has such amount transferred,
each Participant, provided that such Participant is eligible to receive benefits under Article III hereof, shall be paid a monthly pension benefit commencing on the first day of the first month following the date of the Participant’s Separation
from Service and continuing for the Participant’s lifetime, which benefit shall be equal to any positive difference between (a) a percentage of the Participant’s Qualified Compensation based upon the sum of such Participant’s Deemed
Age and Deemed Years of Service as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, all as set forth in the Participant’s Participation Form, and (b) the Participant’s vested accrued monthly benefit under the Infonet Pension
Plan, or in the case of an employee of an Affiliate, such other pension or retirement plans as are designated by the President in the Participation Form, assuming that such benefit is payable to the Participant in the form of a single life annuity
commencing on the first day of the first month after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 
4.2    Participants Electing In-Service Transfers to the IDIP.  In the case of a Participant who
makes an election to transfer his Lump Sum Value to his account under the IDIP while in service pursuant to Section 5.4(b) hereof, such Lump Sum Value shall be determined as of the Participant’s Initial IDIP Transfer Date and as of each Annual
IDIP Transfer Date thereafter, and finally as of the first day of the first month following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. The amount of such Lump Sum Value shall equal the actuarially equivalent value of the following:
the difference between the amounts determined pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) of this Article IV, determined as of the applicable IDIP Transfer Date or the first day of the first month following the date of the Participant’s
Separation of Service, as the case may be, such difference to be further reduced by the Participant’s Prior Monthly Benefits (if any). Such actuarially equivalent value shall be determined on the basis of 
 

-3- 

 
the definition of Lump Sum
Value described in Article XII. If, a Participant, pursuant to Section 5.4(c), amends his election to transfer his Lump Sum Value hereunder to his account under the IDIP, such Lump Sum Value shall be determined in accordance with the preceding
sentence, but the Participant shall have the right to have such benefit paid to him or transferred to his account under the IDIP upon his Separation from Service in accordance with Section 5.4(a) hereof, or to have such monthly benefit otherwise
paid in accordance with Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof. 
 
ARTICLE V 
 
Form of
Pension Payments 
 
5.1    Generally.  Subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.4 hereof, pension benefits payable under the ISERP shall be paid to the Participant monthly for the Participant’s life. 
 
5.2    Joint and Survivor Annuity
Option.  At least one year prior to the commencement of payment of a Participant’s pension benefits pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, the Participant may, in lieu of receiving pension benefits in the form described in Section 5.1
hereof, elect to receive benefit payments under the ISERP in the form of a joint and survivor annuity which provides reduced monthly benefits for the lifetime of the Participant with a stipulated percentage elected by the Participant of such reduced
amount being payable after the Participant’s death to the spouse to whom the Participant is married as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, for the lifetime of such spouse. No such election shall become effective if
the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within one (1) year of the date of such election; notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who marries within the one-year period prior to his Separation from Service may elect a joint and
survivor annuity with 60 days following the date of such marriage. The amount of the monthly benefit payable under this option shall be determined by reference to factors such as the Participant’s life expectancy, the life expectancy of the
Participant’s spouse, prevailing interest rates and the percentage of the 
 

-4- 

 
Participant’s monthly
benefit which is payable after the Participant’s death to the Participant’s spouse, all (except for such percentage, which is selected by the Participant) as determined by the President, such that the value of the joint and survivor
annuity provided under this Section 5.2 is the actuarial equivalent of the benefits otherwise payable under Section 5.1 hereof. In determining the monthly amount payable under the joint and survivor annuity option provided under this Section 5.2
with respect to any Participant, the President may rely upon such information as he, in his sole discretion, deems reliable, including but not limited to, the opinion of an enrolled actuary or annuity purchase rates quoted by an insurance company
licensed to conduct an insurance business in the State of California. 
 
5.3    Irrevocability of Joint and Survivor Annuity Option.  A Participant’s election of a joint and survivor annuity provided under Section 5.2 hereof is irrevocable after benefit
payments have commenced and the monthly amount payable during the lifetime of the Participant shall in no event be adjusted by reason of the death of the Participant’s spouse prior to the death of the Participant, or by reason of the
dissolution of the marriage between the Participant and such spouse, or for any other reason, except that a Participant whose marriage is dissolved may designate another beneficiary to receive the pension benefits which would otherwise be payable to
the Participant’s former spouse as a joint and survivor annuity provided under Section 5.2 hereof. 
 
5.4    Lump Sum Option. 
 
(a)    In lieu of receiving pension benefits in the form described in either Sections 5.1
or 5.2 hereof, a Participant may elect to have his Lump Sum Value either paid to him in full in cash on the date that such Participant would otherwise commence receiving benefits under Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof or transferred and credited on the
date that such 
 

-5- 

 
Participant would otherwise
commence receiving benefits under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof to his account under the IDIP and paid in accordance with his elections under the IDIP. This election must be made at least one (1) year preceding the date on which such Participant would
otherwise commence receiving benefits under the ISERP; provided, that no such election shall become effective if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within one (1) year of such election. 
 
(b)    For those Participants who attained
the minimum Deemed Age on or prior to July 1, 1998, any such Participant may elect, at least one (1) year preceding the date of transfer, to transfer his Lump Sum Value to his account under the IDIP, provided that no such election shall become
effective if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within one (1) year of the date of such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an election made before January 1, 1999, by a Participant who attained the minimum Deemed Age on or
prior to July 1, 1998, to transfer his Lump Sum Value to his account under the IDIP need only be made at least six (6) months before the date of transfer and in a calendar year earlier than that in which the date of transfer occurs and shall not
become effective if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within six (6) months of the date of such election. If a Participant elects to transfer and credit his Lump Sum Value to his account under the IDIP pursuant to either of the
preceding two sentences and remains as a Participant at the time of such Participant’s Annual IDIP Transfer Date, his Lump Sum Value, if any, on each such Annual IDIP Transfer Date occurring after his Initial IDIP Transfer Date will be
automatically transferred each year to his account under the IDIP, and the final transfer shall occur on the first day of the month following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. If a Participant elects to transfer and credit
his Lump Sum Value to his account under the IDIP pursuant to this Section 5.4(b), (i) pension benefits under the ISERP shall continue to accrue as set forth in Article IV from and after the Participant’s Initial 
 

-6- 

 
IDIP Transfer Date until his
Separation from Service, and (ii) death benefits under Article VI will continue to be payable until the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 
(c)    Any election to transfer a Participant’s Lump Sum Value to his account under the IDIP pursuant to this
Section 5.4 may be amended not later than one (1) year preceding the date of transfer; provided that no such amended election shall become effective if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within one (1) year of such amended
election. 
 
ARTICLE VI 
 
Death Benefits 
 
In lieu of the pension benefit provided under Article IV, the
named Beneficiary of a Participant who dies while he is employed by an Employer (including a Participant who has elected in-service transfers to the IDIP under Section 5.4 (b) hereof) shall be entitled to receive a lump sum benefit equal to two
hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Participant’s Qualified Compensation, determined as of the date of such Participant’s death. No death benefit hereunder shall be payable with respect to any Participant who dies after his Separation from
Service, except that the spouse of a deceased Participant shall continue to receive pension benefits under the ISERP if the Participant was receiving pension benefits at the date of his death in the form of a joint and survivor annuity.

 
ARTICLE VII 
 
Disability Benefits 
 
No disability benefits shall be payable under the ISERP,
except that a Participant who suffers a Permanent Disability and incurs a Separation from Service shall be entitled to receive pension benefits under the ISERP upon the Participant’s Separation from Service as set forth in Article IV.

ARTICLE VIIA

 
Post-Employment Health and Medical
Coverage 
 
7A.1    Eligibility.  With respect to Separations from Service which occur on and after October 1, 2000, a Participant who satisfies the requirements of Article III shall be eligible for
post-employment health and medical insurance coverage as described in Section 7A.2. 
 
7A.2    Benefits.  The Employer shall provide comprehensive health and medical insurance coverage hereunder consisting of coverage for a Participant, and such
Participant’s spouse and the Participant’s dependent children, which coverage shall be not less favorable to the Participant, the Participant’s spouse and the Participant’s dependent children as the health and medical benefit
coverage applicable to such Participant immediately prior to the date on which the Participant satisfies the requirements of Section 7A.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if any change made by the Employer in health and medical benefits coverage
for executive Employees occurs subsequent to the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and (b) if such change results in superior health and medical insurance coverage for executive Employees than is then applicable to the
Participant, the Participant’s spouse and the Participant’s dependents, such superior health and medical benefits coverage, or the equivalent thereof, shall be substituted for the health and medical benefits coverage then applicable to the
Participant, the Participant’s spouse and the Participant’s dependents under the ISERP. For purposes of this Article VIIA, “spouse” and “dependent children” shall have the same meaning as defined in the written
instrument governing the operation of the health and medical coverage applicable to the Participant at the time such Participant satisfies the requirements of Section 7A.1. 
 
7A.3    Duration of Coverage.  The health and medical insurance coverage
provided under this Article VIIA shall be in effect with respect to the Participant from the date such coverage is effective pursuant to Section 7A.1 until the date of the Participant’s death. 
 

-8- 

 
Upon the death of the
Participant, coverage for the Participant’s spouse and dependent children shall continue for the lifetime of such spouse. In the event the spouse is not living upon the death of the Participant or if the Participant and the Participant’s
spouse die in a common accident, continuation of coverage with respect to the Participant’s dependent children subsequent to the death of the Participant shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the health and medical insurance
coverage applicable to the Participant at the time of the Participant’s death. 
 
ARTICLE VIII 
 
Administration 
 
8.1    Authority of the President.  The ISERP shall be administered by the President, who shall have all such powers as are necessary for the operation and administration of the ISERP, or by such
other person or persons to whom the President may delegate all or part of the President’s powers or responsibilities hereunder. With respect to all matters pertaining to the ISERP, the President or his designated delegate shall be responsible
for the operation and administration of the ISERP and shall have the power in its good faith discretion to interpret the ISERP and all documents relating thereto and to make such other determinations as may be required or appropriate. Each
determination by the President or his designated delegate as to any matter respecting the operation and administration of the ISERP and the other provisions of the ISERP shall be made in a nondiscriminatory manner. 
 
8.2    Delegation of Powers; Reliance
on Third Parties.  The President may delegate his powers as appropriate and may engage counsel and such clerical, financial, investment, accounting, and other specialized services as he may deem necessary or desirable for the operation
and administration of the ISERP. The President shall be entitled to rely upon any opinions, reports or other advice furnished by counsel or other specialists engaged for such 
 

-9- 

 
purpose and, in so relying,
shall be fully protected in any action, determination, or mission taken or made in good faith. 
 
8.3    Indemnification.  The Employers shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the President and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (and each
member thereof), and any other person or committee to whom they have delegated any of their responsibilities hereunder, acting in their official capacity as such and not as Participants herein, from any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities (collectively “Liability”) arising from any action, failure to act, or other conduct in their official capacity under the ISERP, except with respect to any Liability
which results from an individual’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 
8.4    President’s Participation.  The President shall be eligible to participate in the ISERP in the same manner as any other employee, provided that the
designation of the President as an Eligible Employee or as a Participant and any other action provided herein with respect to the President’s participation in the ISERP shall be taken by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and
implemented by the Secretary. 
 
ARTICLE IX

 
Right to Amend, Modify, Suspend or
Terminate Plan 
 
9.1    Amendment or Termination.  By action of the Board of Directors, Infonet may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the ISERP or the Participants’ Participation Forms without further
liability to any Participant, Employee, former Employee or any other person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the ISERP and Participants’ Participation Forms may not be amended, modified, suspended or terminated so as to reduce the
amount of the pension benefit or post-employment health and medical insurance coverage of a Participant (or such Participant’s spouse and dependent children, as applicable), without the express prior written 
 

-10- 

 
consent of such Participant
or, if deceased, such Participant’s spouse. In the event that both the Participant and the Participant’s spouse are deceased, but post-employment health and medical insurance coverage remains in effect with respect to a dependent child or
children of the Participant pursuant to Article VIIA hereof, the legal guardian of each such child shall be required to provide the express prior written consent required herein. Upon termination of the ISERP, the President in his sole discretion
may pay the Participants the Lump Sum Value of their pension benefits under the ISERP within thirty (30) days after the termination of the ISERP, may cause such amounts to be distributed in accordance with Article V hereof or may in his sole
discretion make arrangements for immediate distributions of annuity benefits under the ISERP to Participants. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the President may, in his sole discretion, permit a Participant to elect the manner in which such
Participant will receive his pension benefits under the ISERP upon termination of the ISERP from among the options set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4(a) hereof; provided that (i) no payment shall be made pursuant to any such election until one
(1) year following the date of such election and (ii) no such election shall become effective if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs within one (1) year of the date of such election, in which case the Lump Sum Value of the
Participant’s pension benefits under the ISERP shall be paid to him within thirty (30) days of the date of his Separation from Service. 
 
9.2    Change in Control Provisions.  During the three-year period immediately following any Change
in Control, the Board of Directors may not amend, modify, suspend or terminate the ISERP or a Participant’s Participation Form in any respect with respect to any person who was a Participant in the ISERP on the date of the Change in Control
without the express prior written consent of such Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of 
 

-11- 

 
Section 9.1 shall apply at all
times, both before any Change in Control and following any Change of Control. 
 
ARTICLE X 
 
Claims Procedure 
 
10.1    Filing of Claim.  Any claim for benefits under the ISERP shall be filed in writing with the President or any person or committee designated by the President as the ISERP’s claims
official (the “Claims Official”). 
 
10.2    Initial Decision.  If the Claims Official wholly or partially denies the claim, he shall, within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim, provide the claimant with written

circumstances but which, in no
event, shall be less than sixty (60) days after receipt by the claimant of written notice of denial of his claim. 
 
10.5    Decision on Review.  The decision by the Claims Official upon his review of a claim shall be
made not later than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Claims Official of the request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not
later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of such request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant
with specific references to the pertinent ISERP provisions on which the decision is based.

10.7    Authority of
President.  The President shall determine, subject to the concurrence of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors: (a) the Eligible Employees who shall participate in the ISERP from time to time and (b) when an Eligible

a single neutral arbitrator (unless otherwise provided pursuant to this Section 10.8). Subject to the terms of this Section 10.8, the arbitration proceedings shall be held in Los Angeles, California, and shall be governed by the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American 
 

-13- 

 
Arbitration Association and
the arbitrator shall be selected by the Participant and the Participant’s Employer, or, if the Participant and the Employer cannot agree upon an arbitrator, at the Participant’s option, either the arbitrator shall be selected by the
American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Rules or the Participant may bring an action in any court having jurisdiction. If the disposition is arbitrated subject to this Section 10.8, the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding
on the Participant and the Participant’s Employer, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Should either (a) the Employer, its successors or permitted assigns, or any person acting on behalf of the Employer seek to
challenge the ISERP or any of its terms in any action, litigation, arbitral or legal proceeding (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Article X), or (b) any Participant or his spouse or dependent children seek to enforce the ISERP or any
of its terms in any such action or proceeding, all of the Participant’s and his spouse’s and dependent’s, and the Participant’s Employer’s, costs, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in connection with any
such action, litigation or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Participant’s Employer. 
 
ARTICLE XI 
 
Miscellaneous Provisions 
 
11.1    No Assignment of Benefits.  No pension benefit payable under, or interest in, the ISERP shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, garnishment, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. Any such benefit or interest shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of
any Participant or his Beneficiaries. If the President determines that any Participant or Beneficiary has become bankrupt or that any attempt has been made to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, garnish, or charge

 

-14- 

 
any pension benefit payable
under, or interest in, the ISERP, the President shall hold or apply such benefit or interest or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary. 
 
11.2    Releases.  In connection with any benefit or benefit payment
under the ISERP, or the designation of any Beneficiary or any election or other action taken or to be taken under the ISERP by any Participant or any other person, Infonet, acting through the President or his delegate, may require such consents or
releases as the President or his delegate determines to be appropriate, and further may require any such designation, election or other action to be in writing and in a form satisfactory to the President or his delegate. 
 
11.3    No Waiver.  The
failure of an Employer, the President or any other person acting on behalf thereof to demand that a Participant or other person claiming rights with respect to a Participant perform any act which such Participant or person is or may be required to
perform hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such requirement or a waiver of the right to require such act. The exercise of or failure to exercise any discretion reserved to an Employer, the President or his delegate, or to grant or deny any
benefit to any Participant or other person under the ISERP shall in no way require the Employer, the President or his delegate to similarly exercise or fail to exercise such discretion with respect to any other Participant or person. 
 
11.4    No Contract.  The
ISERP is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Employers and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract or part of a contract between an Employer and any Employee or other person, nor shall it be deemed to give any Employee the right
to be retained for any specified period of time in the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an Employer to discharge any Employee at any time, with or without cause, nor shall the ISERP interfere with the right of an Employer to
establish the terms and conditions of employment of any Employee. 
 

-15- 

 
11.5    Nature of ISERP Benefits.  The ISERP shall not be “funded” for tax purposes or within the meaning of ERISA. It is intended that the ISERP shall only provide deferred compensation
benefits and/or welfare benefits, as the case may be, for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and, therefore, that the ISERP shall not be subject to Parts 2 and 3 of Title I of ERISA, and deferred compensation benefits under
the ISERP shall not be subject to Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and welfare benefits under the ISERP shall be exempt from the reporting and disclosure provisions of Part 1 of Title I of ERISA, except for the provision of plan documents to the Secretary
of Labor upon request as required by Section 104(a) of ERISA. The Employers shall not, by virtue of any provisions of the ISERP or by any action of any person, be deemed to be trustees or other fiduciaries of any property for any Participant or
Beneficiaries, and the liabilities of an Employer to any Participant or his Beneficiary pursuant to the ISERP shall be those of a debtor pursuant only to such contractual obligations as are created by the ISERP; no such obligation of an Employer
shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Employer. Pension benefits and/or premiums or similar amounts paid for the purpose of providing post-employment health and medical insurance coverage under the
ISERP shall be payable from the general assets of the Employers or pursuant to such other means as the Employers deem appropriate, and no Participant or other person shall be entitled to look to any source for payment of such pension benefits and/or
premiums or similar amounts paid for the purpose of providing post-employment health and medical insurance coverage other than the general assets of the Employers. To the extent that any Participant or Beneficiary acquires a right to receive payment
under the ISERP, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Employers. 
 

-16- 

 
11.6    Governing Law.  The ISERP shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under and by applicable federal laws and, where state law is applicable, the laws of the State of
California. 
 
11.7    Pronouns and Plurality.  The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine pronoun, and the singular shall include the plural where the context so indicates. 
 
11.8    Titles.  Titles
are provided herein for convenience of reference only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the ISERP. 
 
11.9    References.  Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, a reference to a statute,
regulation or document shall be construed as referring to any subsequently enacted, adopted or executed statute, regulation or document. 
 
11.10    Severable Provisions.  The provisions of the ISERP are severable and if any one or more
articles, sections, subsections, paragraphs, clauses or provisions of the ISERP is determined to be illegal, indefinite, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially unenforceable provisions to
the extent enforceable in any jurisdiction, shall continue in full force and effect and shall be binding and enforceable. 
 
11.11    Inability to Ascertain Amount of Payment or to Locate Payee.  If an amount payable under the
ISERP cannot be ascertained or the person to whom it is payable has not been ascertained or located within the stated time limits under the ISERP and reasonable efforts to do so have been made, then distribution shall be made not later than thirty
(30) days after such amount is determined or such person is ascertained or located. 
 
11.12    Minors and Incompetents.  If the President shall determine that any person to whom payment is payable under the ISERP is unable to care for his affairs
because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefore shall have been made 
 

-17- 

 
by a duly appointed guardian,
committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, parent, or brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the President to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and
proportions as the President may determine in his sole discretion. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Employers, the President and the Board of Directors under the ISERP. 
 
11.13    Payment Not
Salary.  Any benefits payable under the ISERP shall not be deemed salary or other compensation to the Employee for the purposes of computing benefits to which he may be entitled under any pension plan or other arrangement of any
Employer maintained for the benefit of its employees, unless such pension plan or arrangement provides for inclusion of such amounts as salary or other compensation. 
 
11.14    Withholding.  The Employers shall have the right to make such
provisions as they deem necessary or appropriate to satisfy any obligations they may have to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of payments or accruals pursuant to the ISERP. 
 
11.15    Successors of the
Employers.  The ISERP shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employers, their successors and assigns and the Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. In the event that the
Employers sell all or substantially all of the assets of their business and the acquiror of such assets assumes the obligations hereunder, the Employers shall be released from any liability imposed herein and shall have no obligation to provide any
benefits payable hereunder. 
 
11.16    Other Documents Incorporated by Reference.  Post-employment health and medical insurance coverage pursuant to Article VIIA hereof shall be provided by such insurance 
 

-18- 

 
contracts or through such
other arrangements as shall be designated by the President for such purpose, in his sole discretion. Any insurance contracts or other arrangements entered into for the purpose of providing post-employment health and medical insurance coverage
pursuant to Article VIIA hereof shall be incorporated herein by reference. The rights and conditions with respect to the benefits payable from such insurance contracts and other arrangements shall be determined from the contracts and written
instruments governing such other arrangements.
