 (a) Grant of Option.  Seagate Software Information Management Group Holdings,
     ---------------
     Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to the Optionee
     named in the Notice of Grant (the "Optionee"), an option (the "Option") to
     purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") set
     forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in
     the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price") subject to the terms,
     definitions and provisions of the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
     adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference. Unless
     otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same
     defined meanings in this Option Agreement.

     If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO"),
this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in
Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the
$100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").

 (b) Exercise of Option.
     ------------------

         (1)  Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its
              -----------------
              term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice
              of Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this
              Option Agreement. In the event of Optionee's death, disability or
              other termination of the employment or consulting relationship,
              this Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the applicable
              provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement .

         (2)  Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written
              ------------------
              notice (in the form attached as Exhibit A) which shall state the
                                              ---------
              election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect
              of which the Option is being exercised, and such other
              representations and agreements as to the holder's investment
              intent with respect to such shares of Common Stock as may be
              required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
              Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be
              delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the
              Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the
              Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
              receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the
              Exercise Price.

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such
issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and
the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.
Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with
respect to such Shares.

 (c)  Optionee's Representations.  In the event the Shares purchasable pursuant
      --------------------------
      to the exercise of this Option have not been registered under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised,
      Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise
      of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her
      Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
                                                                         -------
      B, and shall read the applicable rules of the Commissioner of Corporations
      -
      attached to such Investment Representation Statement.

 (d)  Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that if so requested by the Company
      --------------
      or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing Underwriter") in
      connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the
      Company under the Securities Act, Optionee shall not sell or otherwise
      transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180-day
      period (or such longer period as may be requested in writing by the
      Managing Underwriter

                                                                   Page 2 of 6
<PAGE>

      and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the "Market Standoff Period")
      following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company
      filed under the Securities Act; provided, however, that such restriction
      shall apply only to the first registration statement of the Company to
      become effective under the Securities Act that includes securities to be
      sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public
      offering under the Securities Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer
      instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing
      restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

 (e)  Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the
      -----------------
      following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

          (1)  cash;

          (2)  check;

          (3)  delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
               such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if
               applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and
               delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to
               pay the Exercise Price.

 (f) Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time
     ------------------------
     as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the
     issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of
     consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any
     applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation,
     including any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal
     Regulations ("Regulation G") as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.

 (g) Termination of Relationship. In the event an Optionee's Continuous Status
     ---------------------------
     as an Employee or Consultant terminates, Optionee may, to the extent
     otherwise so entitled at the date of such termination (the "Termination
     Date"), exercise this Option during the Termination Period set out in the
     Notice of Grant. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise
     this Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not
     exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
     terminate.

 (h) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7 above,
     ----------------------
     in the event of termination of an Optionee's consulting relationship or
     Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his or her disability,
     Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such
     termination (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of
     such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to
     the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such
     termination; provided, however, that if such disability is not a
     "disability" as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in
     the case of an Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall
     cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for
     tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day three months and one
     day following such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not
     entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee
     does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time
     specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by
     such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(i)  Death of Optionee.  In the event of termination of Optionee's Continuous
     -----------------
     Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of the death of Optionee,
     the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following
     the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the
     term of this Option as set forth in Section 11 below), by Optionee's estate
     or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
     inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee could exercise the Option
     at the date of death.

                                                                  Page 3 of 6
<PAGE>

 (j) Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in any
     -----------------------------
     manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
     may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.  The
     terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
     heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 (k) Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out
     --------------
     in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
     accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option. The limitations set
     out in Section 7 of the Plan regarding Options designated as Incentive
     Stock Options and Options granted to more than ten percent (10%)
     stockholders shall apply to this Option.

 (l) Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this
     ----------------
     Option of some of the federal and state tax consequences of exercise of
     this Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY
     INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
     OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
     DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

           (1) Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will
               ---------------
               be no regular federal income tax liability or state income tax
               liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess,
               if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of
               exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment
               to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may
               subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year
               of exercise.

           (2) Exercise of ISO Following Disability. If the Optionee's
               ------------------------------------
               Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates as a
               result of disability that is not total and permanent disability
               as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent
               permitted on the date of termination, the Optionee must exercise
               an ISO within three months of such termination for the ISO to be
               qualified as an ISO.

           (3) Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option. There may be a regular
               -------------------------------------
               federal income tax liability and state income tax liability upon
               the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee will be
               treated as having received compensation income (taxable at
               ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the
               Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the
               Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee,
               the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's
               compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable
               taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of
               this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse
               to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such
               withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

           (4) Disposition of Shares. In the case of an NSO, if Shares are held
               ---------------------
               for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the
               Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal and
               state income tax purposes. In the case of an ISO, if Shares
               transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year
               after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after the
               Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares
               will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal and
               state income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are
               disposed of within such one-year period or within two years after
               the Date of Grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be
               treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates)
               to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and
               the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
               of exercise, or (2) the sale price of the Shares.

                                                                   Page 4 of 6
<PAGE>

           (5) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option
               -------------------------------------------------
               granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or
               otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the
               ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the
               Date of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of
               exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in
               writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be
               subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the
               compensation income recognized by the Optionee.

 (m) Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by
     -------------------------------
     reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire
     agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
     supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
     Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
     be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a
     writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by
     California law except for that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws.
