This Agreement is being entered into in connection with the Company’s entry into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Western Digital Ireland, Ltd., Hitachi, Ltd. and Viviti Technologies Ltd. dated on or about the date hereof (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), and shall become effective on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”).

1. EMPLOYMENT.

The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive and Executive hereby agrees to accept such continued employment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth including but not limited to provisions governing early termination, from the Effective Date to and including the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that if the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement successfully close, the employment term shall automatically extend until the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing (the “Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Employment Period”). Unless Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to any early termination provision hereof or the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate without further action by either party at the end of the Employment Period.

2. DUTIES.

A. Chief Executive Officer. On the Effective Date, Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In this capacity, Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the Company, and shall have such duties and responsibilities consistent with his position as Chief Executive Officer as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine from time to time.

B. Executive Commitment. During the Employment Period, Executive agrees to devote substantially all of his time, energy and ability to the business of the Company, subject to paragraph E of Section 3.

3. COMPENSATION.

A. Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company will pay to Executive a base salary at the rate of $1,000,000 per year. Such salary shall be earned monthly and shall be payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s customary practices. Amounts payable shall be reduced by standard withholding and other authorized deductions. Executive’s base salary may be increased in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).

B. Bonus. Executive’s target bonus during the Employment Period for purposes of the Company’s semi-annual Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP) bonus program shall be 150% of his semi-annual base salary from the Company in effect on the last day of such fiscal period. Executive’s actual bonus under the ICP may range from 0% to 200% of his target bonus based on the level of attainment of the applicable performance objectives established under the ICP. Executive’s target bonus may be increased in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

C. Retirement and Welfare Benefit Plans; Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive (and, in the case of welfare benefit plans, his eligible dependents, as the case may be) shall be eligible for participation in the retirement, welfare, and fringe benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company on terms consistent with those generally applicable to the Company’s other senior executives and approved by the Compensation Committee.

D. Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable employment expenses incurred by him in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures as in effect generally with respect to other senior executives of the Company.

E. Vacation and Other Leave. During the Employment Period, Executive shall receive paid vacation in an amount determined by the Company’s then-existing policies based upon Executive’s years of service with the Company. Such vacation shall be scheduled and taken in accordance with the Company’s standard vacation policies applicable to Company executives. Executive shall also be entitled to all other holiday and leave pay generally available to other executives of the Company.

F. Modification. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above plans, practices, policies and programs at any time without recourse by Executive so long as such action is taken generally with respect to other senior executives of the Company and does not single out Executive.

4. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION.

A. Long-Term Incentive Awards. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive awards on a basis commensurate with the Executive’s position and in accordance with the long-term incentive guidelines applicable to the Executive’s position established by the Compensation Committee. Any long-term incentive awards will generally be granted by the Compensation Committee as part of its normal annual grant cycle applicable to other senior executives of the Company. However, for the Company’s 2012 fiscal year, if the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement successfully close prior to the Company’s normal fiscal 2012 annual grant cycle that is expected to occur in September 2011, the Executive shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive awards at the first Compensation Committee meeting occurring after the Closing Date instead of at the time of the normal fiscal 2012 annual grant cycle. Any long-term incentive awards granted to the Executive will be subject to the Company’s customary terms and conditions, provided that any restricted stock units granted to Executive during the Employment Period shall be scheduled to vest in three substantially equal annual installments.

B. Integration Performance Units. As part of the Company’s integration bonus plan that will be established in connection with, and subject to, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, it will be recommended to the Compensation Committee that Executive receive a grant of performance restricted stock units equal to that number of units having a target value on the grant date equal to $4,000,000 (the “Integration Performance Units”). Subject to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Integration Performance Units are expected to be granted at the first Compensation Committee meeting occurring after the Effective Date. The actual number of Integration Performance Units that may become earned and payable will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of Integration Performance Units awarded on the grant date, with the actual number of Integration Performance Units becoming earned and payable to be based on the Company’s achievement of the applicable performance milestones. The performance milestones applicable to the Integration Performance Units will be determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with Executive following the Effective Date. Subject to Executive’s continued employment through the first anniversary of the Effective Date, fifty percent (50%) of the target number of Integration Performance Units shall become earned and payable within seventy days following the first anniversary of the Effective Date based on performance during the first year following the Effective Date. Subject to Executive’s continued employment through the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the target number of Integration Performance Units shall become earned and payable within seventy days following the second anniversary of the Effective Date based on performance during the second year following the Effective Date. The integration bonus plan will provide that in the event Executive’s employment is terminated under circumstances that give rise to the payment of severance payments under either the Company’s Executive Severance Plan or Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Plan ( in accordance with the terms of such plans and as each may be amended from time to time), then Executive shall be entitled to receive payment of the target number of his Integration Performance Units applicable to any in-progress or future portion of the applicable performance periods within seventy days following the date of such termination of employment (and for the avoidance of doubt, and not in any way in limitation of Executive’s rights to earn the Integration Performance Units based on performance, if such a termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive shall not be entitled to receive by virtue of his termination of employment any Integration Performance Units attributable to the first year following the Effective Date).

C. Special Incentive Vesting and Exercisability From Prior Agreement. Subject to Executive’s continued employment through January 1, 2012, following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (regardless of the reason, other than a termination by the Company for Cause (as defined in Section 5)), Executive will (i) be fully vested in any stock options granted to him by the Company prior to January 1, 2012 and Executive will have three years from the date of such termination to exercise such stock options (subject to earlier termination on the expiration of the maximum applicable term of such stock options or, as provided in the applicable agreement evidencing such options and the equity incentive plan of the Company under which they are granted, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company and similar events) and (ii) be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of any outstanding Performance Cash Award granted to him prior to January 1, 2012 equal to the amount that Executive would have been entitled to had he continued to be employed through the applicable payment date, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the performance period that Executive was employed by the Company and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance period. Any such payment(s) shall be made at the same time as amounts are paid generally with respect to the applicable performance period.

5. TERMINATION.

A. Death. This Agreement and Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically on the death of Executive.

B. Disability. The Company, at its option, may terminate Executive’s employment upon the Disability of Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean physical or mental incapacity that renders Executive unable to perform the normal and customary duties of employment of Executive even with a reasonable accommodation for (A) 120 days in any twelve (12) month period or (B) for a period of ninety (90) successive days.

C. Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that the Company, acting in good faith based upon the information then known to the Company, determines that Executive has engaged in or committed: (i) willful misconduct, (ii) fraud, (iii) failure or refusal to perform the duties of Chief Executive Officer or (iv) a conviction of or a plea of nolo contendre to a felony.

D. Other than Cause, Death, or Disability. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, upon 30 days’ written notice.

E. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.

If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason during the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive timely payment of the sum of (i) Executive’s annual base salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid and (ii) any compensation previously deferred by Executive in accordance with the Company’s deferred compensation plans (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).

(ii) Executive Severance Plan and Change of Control Severance Plan. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan and Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Plan in accordance with the terms of such plans and as each may be amended from time to time. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Executive shall be entitled to receive “Tier I” benefits under each of the Severance Plan and the Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Plan. Any benefits becoming payable under the Severance Plan or the Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Plan as a result of the termination of the Executive’s employment shall be in addition to the Accrued Obligations, provided that to the extent Executive becomes entitled to receive payments or benefits included within the Accrued Obligations under either such plan, Executive shall not be entitled to any duplication of benefits.

F. Exclusive Remedy. Executive agrees that the payments and benefits contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of his employment, and Executive covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to any termination of employment.
