Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Securities nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice. Additional Securities may be purchased as provided in Section 4 solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Firm Securities. On each day, if any, that Additional Securities are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the principal amount of Additional Securities (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional Securities as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser bears to the total principal amount of Firm Securities.

3. Terms of Offering. You have advised the Issuer that the Initial Purchasers will make an offering of the Securities purchased by the Initial Purchasers hereunder as soon as practicable after this Agreement is entered into as in your judgment is advisable.

4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Securities shall be made to the Issuer in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Firm Securities for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 7, 2023 or at such other time on the same or such other date, not more than five business days after the foregoing date, as may be mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Payment for any Additional Securities shall be made to the Issuer in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Additional Securities for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than the last day in the 13-day period beginning on, and including, the Closing Date, as shall be designated in writing by the Representative.

The Securities shall be in definitive form or global form, as specified by you, and registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be. The Securities shall be delivered to you on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of payment and delivery.

All payments by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, to an Initial Purchaser under this Agreement shall be made without withholding or deduction of any present or future Irish or Cayman taxes, duties or governmental charges of any kind, unless that withholding or deduction is required by law. If the Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, is required to deduct or withhold from a payment to an Initial Purchaser any such tax, duty or governmental charge, or if such tax, duty or governmental charge is required to be paid by an Initial Purchaser in connection with this Agreement (excluding income taxes imposed on the overall net income of an Initial Purchaser in the ordinary course of its business), the Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, agrees to pay to the relevant Initial Purchaser such additional amounts as shall be required so that the net amount received by such Initial Purchaser after such deduction, withholding or payment shall equal the amount that would have been received by such Initial Purchaser had no such deduction, withholding or payment been made.

All payments by the Issuer to an Initial Purchaser under the Capped Call Confirmations shall be made without withholding or deduction of any present or future Irish or Cayman taxes, duties or governmental charges of any kind, unless that withholding or deduction is required by law.

(vi) such other documents as the Representative may reasonably request with respect to the good standing of the Company, the due authorization, execution and authentication of the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date and other matters related to the execution and authentication of such Additional Securities.

(m) The Company will use its best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Maximum Number of Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor also agree that, without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, and the Company agrees that it will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, publicly disclose an intention to, during the period ending 60 days after the date of the Final Memorandum (the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

7. Offering of Securities; Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that such Initial Purchaser is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”). Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Issuer and the Guarantors that it will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, such Securities by any General Solicitation, other than a permitted communication listed on Schedule II hereto, or those made with the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Guarantors or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and it will sell such Securities only to persons that it reasonably believes to be QIBs that in purchasing such Securities are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided in the Time of Sale Memorandum and the Final Memorandum under the caption “Transfer Restrictions.”

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants, and agrees with respect to offers and sales outside the United States that:

(i) such Initial Purchaser understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Issuer and the Guarantors that would permit a public offering of the Securities, or possession or distribution of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Securities, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required;

(ii) such Initial Purchaser will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any such other material, in all cases at its own expense;

(iii) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;

(iv) such Initial Purchaser, in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom (each, a “Relevant State”), has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available the Securities to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (the “UK”). For these purposes, (a) a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”) and in respect of the UK The Prospectus (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019; and (b) the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the EEA or in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. This offering memorandum is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation. References to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the UK, those Regulations or Directives as they form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK domestic law, as appropriate.

(v) such Initial Purchaser has represented and agreed (A) that it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the United Kingdom Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of such Act is complied with or does not apply to the Company and (B) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of such Act with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Securities in, from or otherwise involving the UK; and

(vi) such Initial Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan, and represents that it has not offered or sold, and agrees not to offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Securities in Japan or for the account of any resident thereof except pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan and otherwise in compliance with applicable provisions of Japanese law.

The Company agrees that the Initial Purchasers may provide copies of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum and any other agreements or documents relating thereto, including without limitation, the Indenture, to Xtract Research LLC (“Xtract”), following completion of the offering, for inclusion in an online research service sponsored by Xtract, access to which shall be restricted by Xtract to QIBs.

Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees not to use any Additional Written Offering Communication other than those approved by the Company in advance in writing or those that, if this offering of Securities were registered under the Securities Act, would not result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) such Additional Written Offering Communication as a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser that otherwise would not be required to be so filed by the Company, but for the action of the Initial Purchaser.

In addition to the foregoing, each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and the Guarantors and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 5 hereof, counsels for the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers and their compliance with their agreements contained in this Section 7, and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred as they are incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim (whether or not pending or threatened, whether or not brought by a third party, the Initial Purchasers, any affiliate of the Initial Purchasers, security holders, creditors or other persons) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Issuer and the Guarantors, any General Solicitation made by the Issuer and the Guarantors, or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through you expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Guarantors and their respective directors, their respective officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or the Guarantors within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to such Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through you expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with Section 6(c), any General Solicitation set forth in Schedule II hereto, or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of, an indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, (i) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in

such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer and the Guarantors and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer and the Guarantors or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser against any documentary, stamp, issuance, transfer, registration, documentary or other similar tax, including any interest and penalties, on the creation, issuance, sale and resale of the Securities, on the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document (excluding the Capped Call Confirmations), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser against any documentary, stamp, issuance, transfer, registration, documentary or other similar tax, including any interest and penalties, on the Capped Call Confirmations.

(f) The Issuer and the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other

expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, any person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any affiliate of any Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantors, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantors, and acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Termination. The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchasers. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Guarantors for the purchase of such Firm Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser, the Issuer or the Guarantors. In any such case either you or the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the option to (a) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (b) purchase not less than the principal amount of Additional Securities that such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Issuer or a Guarantor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Issuer or a Guarantor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors will reimburse the Initial Purchasers or such Initial Purchasers as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the conduct of the offering of the Securities, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Securities: the Initial Purchasers have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other person, the Initial Purchasers owe the Issuer and the Guarantors only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) if any, and the Initial Purchasers may have interests that differ from those of the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Initial Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Section 8 hereof, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any subsequent purchaser or other purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely by reason of such purchase.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

15. Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree that:

(a) Any suit, action or proceeding against the Issuer or any Guarantor arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any state or U.S. Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and the Issuer and each Guarantor each irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer and each Guarantor each irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Agreement, including such actions, suits or proceedings relating to securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer or a Guarantor and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or a Guarantor is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Issuer or a Guarantor in the manner provided by this Section 15.

(b) The Issuer and each Guarantor hereby appoint Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc., as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any state or U.S. Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Authorized Agent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts such appointment and agrees to act as said agent for service of process. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Issuer and the Guarantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action involving the Issuer or a Guarantor arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Any action, suit or proceeding brought by the Issuer and/or a Guarantor against the Initial Purchasers arising out of or based upon this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be brought solely in a U.S. Federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not initiate or seek to initiate, in any other jurisdiction other than in such New York courts, any action, suit or proceeding against the Initial Purchasers arising out of or based upon this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. The foregoing shall apply, without limitation, to any action seeking to obtain any injunction or declaratory judgment against the enforcement of, or a declaratory judgment concerning, any claim by the Initial Purchasers in respect of this Agreement and any transaction contemplated herein, and any action challenging the enforceability of or seeking to invalidate in any respect the submission by the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder to the jurisdiction of such New York courts or the designation, pursuant to this Section 15, of the laws of the State of New York as the law applicable to this Agreement.

(d) The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

16. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Initial Purchasers could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors with respect to any sum due from it to any Initial Purchaser or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Initial Purchaser or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Initial Purchaser or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser or controlling person hereunder, the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Initial Purchaser or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser or controlling person hereunder, such Initial Purchaser or controlling person agrees to pay to the Issuer and Guarantors an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser or controlling person hereunder.

17. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

18. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Initial Purchasers shall be delivered, mailed or sent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., LLC at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Convertible Debt Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department; if to the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Authorized Agent shall be delivered, mailed or sent to it at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary.

19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE ISSUER AND THE GUARANTORS (ON THEIR OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ON BEHALF OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS), ON THE OTHER HAND, WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO YOUR ENGAGEMENT AS DEALER MANAGERS OR YOUR ROLE IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

20. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

New York, NY 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) proposes to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Seagate HDD Cayman, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”) and each of Seagate Technology Holdings public limited company, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”) and Seagate Technology Unlimited Company, an unlimited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“STX Unlimited” and together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), providing for the offering (the “Offering”) by the several Initial Purchasers, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Initial Purchasers”), of its Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be exchangeable for cash up to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities and cash, ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) or a combination of cash and Ordinary Shares, at the Issuer’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Issuer’s exchange obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being exchanged, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

To induce the Initial Purchasers that may participate in the Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 60 days after the date of the final offering memorandum (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Offering

(the “Final Memorandum”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any Ordinary Shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, even if any such sale or disposition transaction or transactions would be made or executed by or on behalf of someone other than the undersigned. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

(a)

transactions relating to Ordinary Shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering;

(b)

transfers of Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into Ordinary Shares as a bona fide gift or for bona fide estate planning purposes or to a charitable organization or educational institution in a transaction not involving a disposition for value;

(e)

transfers or dispositions of shares of Ordinary Shares or other securities (i) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned upon the death of the undersigned, or (ii) by operation of law pursuant to a domestic order or negotiated divorce settlement; or

if the undersigned is an entity, (i) transfers or dispositions of shares of Ordinary Shares or other securities to another corporation, member, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of the undersigned, or to an investment fund or other entity that controls or manages, or is under common control with, the undersigned, in a transaction not involving a disposition for value or (ii) distributions of shares of Ordinary Shares or other securities to partners, members, stockholders, beneficiaries or other equity holders of the undersigned in a transaction not involving a disposition for value;

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution (i) pursuant to clause (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f), each transferee, donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement unless prohibited by an order of a court and (ii) pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f), no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period (other than, if the undersigned is subject to Section 16 reporting with respect to the Company under the Exchange Act, in the case of a transfer or other disposition pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) above, any Form 5 required to be filed under the Exchange Act, or in the case of a transfer or other disposition pursuant to clauses (b) or (e) above, any Form 4 required to be filed under the Exchange Act provided that such Form 4 shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in (b) or (e) above, as the case may be);

transfers or dispositions of shares of Ordinary Shares or such other securities pursuant to a bona fide tender offer for shares of the Company’s capital stock, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s securities involving a Change of Control (as defined herein) of the Company (including without limitation, the entering into of any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of shares of Ordinary Shares or other securities in connection with such transaction) that has been approved by the board of directors of the Company; provided that, in the event that such Change of Control transaction is not consummated, this clause (k) shall not be applicable and the undersigned’s shares and other securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement.

For purposes of this agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin, and “Change of Control” shall mean the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an Initial Purchaser pursuant to the Offering), of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Offering shall not constitute a Change of Control.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Initial Purchasers are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Initial Purchasers solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering of the Shares and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Initial Purchasers may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to you in connection with the Offering, the Initial Purchasers are not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Offering or sell any Shares at the price determined in the Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Initial Purchaser is making such a recommendation. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that none of the Initial Purchasers has made any recommendation or provided any investment or other advice to the undersigned with respect to this Lock-Up Agreement or the subject matter hereof, and the undersigned has consulted its own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory, tax and other advisors with respect to this Lock-Up Agreement and the subject matter hereof to the extent the undersigned has deemed appropriate.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers.

This agreement shall automatically terminate and the undersigned shall be automatically released from all obligations under this agreement upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date the Company advises ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ advises the Company, in writing, prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, (b) the date of the termination of the Purchase Agreement (without regard to any provisions thereof that survive termination) if prior to the sale of any Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (c) September 30, 2023, if, and only if, the Purchase Agreement has not been executed by such date.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile, by email in portable document format (.pdf), or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (e.g., DocuSign) and delivery of the signature page by such method will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other parties.
