2.第三方诉讼中的赔偿。如果受款人正在或有可能成为任何诉讼的当事人或参与人，则本部分2的规定将按照标明的程序赔偿受款人，但不包括公司或公司的联系公司的为了获得判决而提起的诉讼。根据本第2部分，只要受款人是在善意行事，并合理认为为公司或此类联营公司的最佳利益或和其不抵制其最佳利益为行事，受款人就应根据适用法律的允许范围对任何支出、判决、罚款和和解金额进行全额赔偿，该支出、判决、罚款和和解金额实际且合理地是受款人或代表受款人为此类诉讼或其中任何主张、问题或事项而支出，并且对于任何刑事诉讼或程序，受款人本人恕无理由相信其行为不合法。

3.公司的代表或其他持有公司权利的采取行动时的赔偿。如果受赔偿方成为公司或任何公司联属公司的诉讼或参与者，以在其利益获得判决，公司将根据本第3条的规定赔偿受赔偿方。根据本第3条，只要受赔偿方是善意行事，并出于其合理相信有利或不反对公司或其联属公司的最佳利益的方式，受赔偿方将得到全额赔偿，在此诉讼或其中的任何索赔、问题或事项中，受赔偿方实际合理支出的所有费用都会得到赔偿。除非特许权州特许法院或提出诉讼的法院根据申请确定，尽管裁定有责任但鉴于案件的一切情况，受赔偿方对无法得到赔偿的任何索赔、问题或事项承担责任，特许权州特许法院或其他法院认为适当的支出，受赔偿将不会在本第3条中对此进行。

4.全额或部分胜诉方的费用赔偿。不受本协议其他条款的约束，最大限度地符合适用法律法规，只要因其公司地位，得到验证，在任何诉讼中或保护任何索赔、问题或事项中，全面或部分胜利，公司应当赔偿其在此期间实际和合理发生的所有费用。如果受赔偿方在这种诉讼中并非完全胜利，但在这种诉讼中在事实或其他方面获得了一项或多项，而不是所有的索赔、问题或事项，公司应向受赔偿方赔偿实际和合理发生的所有费用，用于连接每个成功解决的索赔、问题或事项。如果受赔偿方在这种诉讼中不是完全胜利，公司应向受赔偿方赔偿在与受赔偿方成功的任何索赔、问题或事项有关的任何索赔、问题或事项的所有实际和合理费用。为本节目的，在不限制前述情况的前提下，如果任何诉讼被处理，不管其性质是如何（包括未受歧视地裁决），没有对受赔偿方不利的处理，没有对受赔偿方实施有限责任，没有对受赔偿方认罪或放弃抗辩，没有对受赔偿方的行为认定为不守诚信、不合理，或没有对任何刑事诉讼进行裁决，以指认受赔偿方有理由相信受赔偿方的行为是非法的，那么受赔偿方将被认为在本协议目的中已经成功处理。在将受益方作为诉讼的一方或参与者，并成功（无论是在实质上还是其他方面）为任何诉讼或其中的任何索赔，问题或事项进行辩护的情况下，公司应根据适用法律的规定最大程度地对受益方承担所有实际合理发生的费用，或者由受益方代为承担。在适用法律允许的最大范围内，如果受益方在此诉讼中并非完全成功，但在为一个或多个而非全部索赔、问题或事项进行辩护时获得成功，公司应承担受益方在此类事务中实际并合理发生的所有费用，或受益方代为承担的费用。

6.附加赔偿。尽管在第2、3或4节中存在任何限制，但如果受赔偿方成为任何诉讼的一方或参与者（包括由本公司或本公司任何关联公司代表以获取对其有利的判决的诉讼），则公司将根据适用法律允许的最大范围对受赔偿方进行赔偿，包括在相关诉讼或其中的任何索赔、问题或事项中，由受赔偿方实际和合理承担的所有费用、判决、罚款和结算支付的金额。

(c)对于受保人向公司或本公司的关联公司偿还任何奖金或其他基于激励或股权的薪酬，或受保人通过出售公司或公司关联公司的证券而获得的任何利润，在每种情况下，均根据公司或该关联公司通过的任何回扣或补偿回收政策的要求，适用的证券交易所和协会上市要求，包括但不限于根据以下要求制定的要求《交易法》或《交易法》下的第10D-1条《交易法》（包括但不限于根据2002年《萨班斯-奥克斯利法案》第304条对公司或公司关联公司进行会计重报而产生的任何此类报销（”萨班斯-奥克斯利法案”），或者向公司或公司的关联公司支付因受保人违反萨班斯-奥克斯利法案第306条购买和出售证券而产生的利润（包括根据任何和解安排）；

8.支出的推进。公司应在与任何程序有关的费用产生后，以尽快的方式提前支付被保障人所产生的费用，但无论如何，最迟在公司收到书面申请要求这些预付款时，不得超过20天后进行支付（其中应包括被保障人与这些费用有关的发票，但在涉及法律服务的发票中，不得包括任何可能导致被保障人放弃适用法律赋予的任何特权的法律工作或支出的参考）。预付款应为无担保且无息，并且无需考虑被保障人偿还这些预付款的能力。被保障人特此承诺，如最终确定被公司不得向其提供赔偿，被保障人应偿还任何预付款。本第8节在法律禁止预付款的情况下不适用，并且不适用于本协议不允许提供赔偿的任何程序（或任何程序的任何部分），但适用于在确定被保障人不得被公司提供赔偿之前已在第7(b)或7(c)节中引用的任何程序（或任何程序的任何部分）。

(a)作为受保人根据本协议获得赔偿的权利的先决条件，受保人应向公司发出通知（为避免疑问，通知应根据第 26 条发送）（通知）本协议）在受保人收到受保人收到赔偿通知后，在合理可行的情况下尽快以书面形式就受保人将或可能寻求赔偿或预付开支的任何事宜。给公司的书面通知应以合理的细节包括对诉讼性质和诉讼所依据的事实的描述。受保人未能通知公司并不能免除公司根据本协议或其他协议可能对受保人承担的任何责任，延迟通知公司均不构成受保人对任何权利的放弃，除非此类失误或延迟对公司或公司的任何关联公司造成重大偏见。

(a)为了获得赔偿，受保人应向公司提交书面请求（为避免疑问，该请求应根据第26条提交）（通知）此处），包括受保人可以合理获得的文件和信息，以及确定受保人在诉讼最终处置后是否以及在多大程度上有权获得赔偿的合理必要文件和信息。在收到此类赔偿申请后，公司应在合理可行的情况下尽快告知希捷董事会，受保人已申请赔偿。延迟提供请求都不会解除公司在本协议下的义务，除非这种失败具有偏见。

(b)根据受保护人书面要求，根据第10(a)条规定获得赔偿，对受保护人的资格进行确定应在以下情况下进行：(i)如果发生控制权变更，则由独立顾问根据书面意见向西数公司董事会进行裁决，并将裁决副本交付给受保护人；或(ii)如果未发生控制权变更，则应由在任的独立董事中的多数人进行裁决，即使不足以构成西数公司董事会的法定人数；或由在任的独立董事多数人指定的委员会进行裁决，即使不足以构成西数公司董事会的法定人数；如果没有这样的独立董事或者如果独立董事这样指定，由独立顾问根据书面意见向西数公司董事会进行裁决，并将裁决副本交付给受保护人；或者如果西数公司董事会指示，由西数公司股东进行裁决。如果确定受保护人有权获得赔偿，则应在确定后的三十(30)天内向受保护人支付赔偿。受保护人应配合就其获得赔偿资格进行裁定的人员、人员或实体，包括在合理提前要求时向此类人员、人员或实体提供非受特权或其他保护免于披露的文件或信息，且该等文件或信息对受保护人是合理可获取且对该等裁定是合理必要的。受保护人在配合就此类裁定进行合理合作时实际合理发生的任何成本或费用(包括律师费和支出)应由公司承担，如适用法律所允许。

(c)如果根据第10(b)条款，独立顾问应该确定对赔偿的资格，那么独立顾问应该按照第10(c)条款规定进行选择。如果尚未发生控制权变更，独立顾问将由希捷的董事会选定，并公司将以书面形式通知受保障者选定的独立顾问的身份。如果发生控制权变更，独立顾问将由受保障者选定（除非受保障者要求由希捷的董事会作出选择，在这种情况下，前述句子将适用），并受保障者应向公司发出书面通知，告知选定的独立顾问的身份。不论哪种情况，受保障者或公司，视情况而定，可以在发出此类选择的书面通知后的十天内向公司或受保障者提出书面异议；在每种情况下，该B类股东和/或该B类股东的家庭成员需独立控制在此类帐户、计划或信托中持有的B类普通股实时；, 公司对于以下情况，不应承担责任：根据第10（b）部分书面信息可靠地提供。只能基于所选独立顾问不符合《第1条》中“独立顾问”定义的要求，而提出该异议，强调这一点。没有适当及时的异议，所选人员将充当独立顾问。如果进行了这样的书面异议并得到证实，所选独立顾问在此类异议被撤回或法院裁定此类异议无效之前，都不得担任独立顾问。如果在（i）受保障者根据本条10(a)提出赔偿请求的书面要求提交，和（ii）程序的最终处理之后的20天内，各方未就

在独立法律顾问选定方面，无论公司或被保障人都可以向有管辖权的法院申请解决公司或被保障人对对方选定独立法律顾问所提出的任何异议，并提名由法院或法院指定的其他人选为独立法律顾问，而所有异议得以解决或被法院指定的人员将根据本节第10（b）条的规定充当独立法律顾问。在按照第12（a）条规定启动任何司法程序或仲裁时，独立法律顾问将被解职，并免除其在该职责中的任何进一步责任（受当时适用的职业操守标准的约束）。

(a)In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a), and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by such person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(b)Subject to Section 12(e), if the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 10 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor in accordance with this Agreement, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for obtaining or evaluating documentation or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this section shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Seagate’s stockholders pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination Seagate’s board of directors has resolved to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting to be held within 75 days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within 15 days after receipt of such a request for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for

(c)For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith to the extent Indemnitee relied in good faith on (i) the records or books of account of any Enterprise, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of any Enterprise in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for any Enterprise or (iv) information or records given or reports made to any Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 11(b) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

(a)Subject to Section 12(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 or 12(d), (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 within 90 days after the later of the receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification or the final disposition of the Proceeding, (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made (A) within ten days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or (B) with respect to indemnification pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and 12(d), within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) the Company or any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under Section 4. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)Neither (i) the failure of Seagate, Seagate’s board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders of Seagate to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by Seagate, Seagate’s board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders of Seagate that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have

been made pursuant to Section 10 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c)To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d)To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 20 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.

13.Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding; and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company or such Affiliate (and its other directors, managers, managing member, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such events and transactions.

14.Non-exclusivity. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Operating Agreement, the governing documents of any Affiliate of the Company, any agreement, a vote of members of the Company or a resolution of managers or managing members of the Company, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Operating Agreement, the governing documents of any Affiliate of the Company, and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or

15.Primary Responsibility. The Company acknowledges that if the Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by another entity (the “Secondary Indemnitor”), then the Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Secondary Indemnitor, the Company is primarily responsible for amounts required to be indemnified or advanced under the Operating Agreement or this Agreement and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitor to provide indemnification or advancement for the same amounts is secondary to those Company obligations. In the event of any payment by the Secondary Indemnitor of amounts otherwise required to be indemnified or advanced by the Company under the Operating Agreement or this Agreement, the Secondary Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Operating Agreement or this Agreement or, to the extent such subrogation is unavailable and contribution is found to be the applicable remedy, shall have a right of contribution with respect to the amounts paid. Any Secondary Indemnitor is an express third-party beneficiary of the terms of this Section 14.

17.Insurance. To the extent that the Company or its Affiliates maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees, general partners, managers, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under such policy or policies in a comparable position. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policy or policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy or policies.

19.Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a manager or managing member or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as a director, trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Enterprise, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders Indemnitee’s resignation or is removed from such position. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company or such Affiliate shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its Affiliates or any

Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its Affiliates or any Enterprise) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its Affiliates or any Enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Company (or any of its Affiliates or any Enterprise) or, with respect to service as a manager or officer of the Company, the Operating Agreement. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof.

20.Duration. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (a) ten years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a manager or managing member or officer of the Company or as a director, trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other Enterprise, as applicable; or (b) one year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 relating thereto.

21.Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. No party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may assign its right under this Agreement to the Secondary Indemnitor or its affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company.

22.Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order or other applicable law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

23.Enforcement. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a manager or managing member or officer of the Company (or to serve at the request of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company as a director, manager, managing member, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other Enterprise), and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a manager or managing member or

24.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Operating Agreement, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other governing documents of any Affiliate of the Company, and applicable law.

25.Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement shall adversely affect any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
