NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

NOTE 1 — OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “Dell Technologies” mean Dell Technologies Inc. individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Dell Technologies Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in January 2013. Following approval by the Company’s shareholders at its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, Dell Technologies Inc. changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Delaware to Texas effective July 1, 2026 pursuant to a plan of conversion.

Dell Technologies is a leader in the global technology industry that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Dell Technologies offerings include servers, networking, storage, cloud solutions, desktops, notebooks, services, software, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026; the results of operations, corresponding comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025; and cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations, corresponding comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025 and cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31. The fiscal year ending January 29, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026 may be referred to as “Fiscal 2027” and “Fiscal 2026,” respectively. Both the fiscal year ending January 29, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026 are 52-week periods.

Principles of Consolidation — These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”), which was majority-owned by Dell Technologies through the date of the sale of Secureworks as discussed below. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Company also consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the applicable entities’ operations. For each VIE, the primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to such VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of each entity, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of each entity and the risks each entity was designed to create and pass through to its respective variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in each of the VIEs. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs.

Secureworks — On February 3, 2025, the sale of Secureworks to Sophos Inc., an affiliate of Thoma Bravo, L.P., was completed in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of approximately $0.9 billion. The Company received total cash consideration for the equity interest held in Secureworks of approximately $0.6 billion, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.2 billion recognized in interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended August 1, 2025.

Related Party Transactions — The Company enters into purchase and sales transactions with other publicly-traded and privately-held companies, as well as not-for-profit organizations, that could be influenced by members of the Company’s board of directors, executive officers, or significant shareholders. The Company enters into these arrangements in the ordinary course of its business. Transactions with related parties were immaterial for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations — In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve the financial accounting disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations, providing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance.

Internal-Use Software — In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to modernize internal-use software capitalization by removing references to software development project stages, increasing the operability of the recognition guidance permitting consideration of different methods of software development, including the agile method. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or through a modified approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance.

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures — In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures about a public entity’s expenses by requiring disclosure of additional information about the types of expenses commonly presented in the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total liabilities$— $92 $— $92 $— $126 $— $126 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value.

Money Market Funds — The Company’s investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents hold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable, or can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses money market fund liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of July 31, 2026, the Company’s portfolio had no exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.

Marketable Equity and Other Securities — The Company’s investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly-traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company’s derivative financial instrument portfolio. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the recurring fair value table above. These assets consist primarily of financial assets such as the Company’s strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities and non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets.

Table of Contents
DELL TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
Strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities and certain non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value only if they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes in the current period. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, these securities would generally be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 3 and Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s investments and goodwill and intangible assets, respectively.

Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt — The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:
July 31, 2026January 30, 2026

Legacy Notes$0.9 $1.0 $0.9 $1.0 
DFS Debt$9.6 $9.4 $9.1 $8.9 

The fair values of the outstanding debt shown in the table above were determined based on observable market prices in a less active market or based on valuation methodologies using observable inputs and were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS

The Company has strategic investments in equity and other securities as well as immaterial investments in fixed income debt securities that are recorded as long-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, total investments were $2.7 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. The total gain on investments, net is recorded as interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was $0.7 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2026 and immaterial for all other presented periods.

Equity and other securities include strategic investments in marketable and non-marketable securities. Investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Investments in non-marketable equity and other securities primarily represent early-stage companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative for non-marketable securities which allows investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. The Company makes a separate election to apply the measurement alternative for each eligible investment and is required to reassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies for the alternative. In evaluating these investments for impairment or observable price changes, the Company uses inputs including pre- and post-money valuations of recent financing events and the impact of those events on its fully diluted ownership percentages, as well as other available information regarding the issuer’s historical and forecasted performance.

The following table presents the carrying value of the Company's strategic investments in marketable and non-marketable equity and other securities as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL SERVICES

The Company offers or arranges a portfolio of payment and consumption solutions and services for its customers globally, including utility, subscription, as-a-service, leases, and loans, designed to match customers' consumption and financing preferences and to provide operational and financial flexibility.

To support financing solutions and services as part of the Dell Technologies portfolio, Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) originate, collect, and service customer financing arrangements primarily related to the purchase and use of Dell Technologies products and services. In some cases, the Company also offers financing for the purchase of third-party technology products that complement the portfolio of the Company’s products and services. New financing originations were $7.5 billion and $2.4 billion for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025, respectively, and $10.3 billion and $4.0 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025, respectively.

The Company’s financing arrangements with customers are aggregated as fixed-term leases and loans as described below.

Leases — The Company enters into fixed-term financing arrangements with customers who seek lease financing for equipment. Leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. Additionally, utility, subscription, and as-a-service flexible consumption models may result in identification of embedded lease arrangements that require the recognition of sales-type leases or operating leases. Leases with business customers generally have fixed terms of two to five years.

Loans — The Company also offers fixed-term loans to qualified small businesses, large commercial accounts, governmental organizations, educational entities, and certain individual consumer customers. These loans are repaid in periodic payments including interest and have defined terms typically ranging from one to five years. The fair value of the fixed-term loan portfolio is determined using market observable inputs. The carrying value of these loans approximates fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
The Company recognizes an allowance for financing receivable losses, including both the lease receivable and unguaranteed residual, in an amount equal to the expected credit losses, net of recoveries. The allowance for financing receivable losses on the lease receivable is determined based on various factors, including lifetime expected losses determined using macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios as well as past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. The Company continues to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance.

Aging

The following table presents the aging of the Company’s customer financing receivables, gross, including accrued interest, as of the dates indicated:
July 31, 2026January 30, 2026
(in millions)
Current 0 — 30 Days$20,304 $13,985 
Past Due 31 — 90 Days132 195 
Past Due > 90 Days106 115 
Total$20,542 $14,295 

Aging is likely to fluctuate as a result of the variability in volume of large transactions entered into over the period, and the administrative processes that accompany those transactions. Aging is also impacted by the timing of the Company’s fiscal period end date relative to calendar month-end customer payment due dates. As a result of these factors, fluctuations in aging from period to period do not necessarily indicate a material change in the collectibility of the portfolio.

Customer receivables are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest is past due and considered delinquent, or if there is concern about the collectibility of a specific customer receivable. The receivables identified as doubtful for collectibility may be classified as current for aging purposes.

DFS U.S. Debt

Asset-Based Financing Facility — The Company maintains an asset-based financing facility in the United States, which is a revolving facility for fixed-term leases and loans. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S. lease and loan payments and associated equipment in the facility. The asset-based financing facility consists of two tranches, with effective dates through July 7, 2027 and July 7, 2028, respectively. As of July 31, 2026, the total debt capacity related to the asset-based financing facility was $4.6 billion. The debt has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to economically convert a portion of this debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s interest rate swaps.

The asset-based financing facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the funded receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the facility, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of July 31, 2026, these criteria were met.

Fixed-Term Securitization Offerings — The Company periodically issues asset-backed debt securities under fixed-term securitization programs to private investors. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized solely by the U.S. fixed-term lease and loan payments and associated equipment, which are held by Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), as discussed below. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranges from 4.01% to 6.12% per annum as of July 31, 2026, and the duration of these securities is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams.

DFS International Debt

Securitization Facility — The Company maintains a securitization facility in Europe for fixed-term leases and loans. The debt under this facility has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams. This facility is effective through December 22, 2026 and had a total debt capacity of $922 million as of July 31, 2026.

The securitization facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the securitized receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the program, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of July 31, 2026, these criteria were met.

Other Borrowings — In connection with the Company’s international financing operations, the Company has entered into revolving structured financing debt programs related to its fixed-term lease and loan products sold in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, and Singapore. The debt under these programs has a variable interest rate.

The duration of the debt in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia and New Zealand is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams. These facilities are collateralized solely by the lease and loan payments and associated equipment in their respective region or country.

As of July 31, 2026,
•the Canadian facility had a total debt capacity of $250 million and is effective through January 15, 2028,
•the European facility had a total debt capacity of $461 million and is effective through December 14, 2026,
•the Middle East facility had a total debt capacity of $150 million and is effective through March 14, 2028, and
•the Australia and New Zealand facility had a total debt capacity of $299 million and is effective through April 17, 2027.

The Company also has two unsecured Singapore facilities, which had a total debt capacity of $257 million as of July 31, 2026 and are effective through July 3, 2027 and July 12, 2027, respectively.

Dell Bank Senior Unsecured Eurobonds — Dell Bank issued €500 million of 0.50% senior unsecured five-year eurobonds due October 2026 on October 27, 2021, €500 million of 4.50% senior unsecured five-year eurobonds due October 2027 on October 18, 2022, and €500 million of 3.63% senior unsecured five-year eurobonds due June 2029 on June 24, 2024. The issuances of the senior unsecured eurobonds support the expansion of the financing operations in Europe.

Variable Interest Entities

In connection with the asset-based financing facility, fixed-term securitization offerings, and securitization facility discussed above, the Company transfers certain U.S. and European lease and loan payments and associated equipment to SPEs that meet the definition of a VIE and are consolidated, along with the associated debt described above, into the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The SPEs are bankruptcy-remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer lease and loan payments and associated equipment in the capital markets.

Some of the SPEs have entered into financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that, in turn, issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets. DFS debt outstanding held by the consolidated VIEs is collateralized by the lease and loan payments and associated equipment. The Company’s risk of loss related to securitized receivables is limited to the amount by which the Company’s right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities. The Company provides credit enhancement to the securitization offerings in the form of over-collateralization.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIEs as of the dates indicated, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position:
July 31, 2026January 30, 2026

Customer Receivables Sales

To manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure, the Company may sell selected fixed-term customer receivables to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, without recourse. The amounts of customer receivables sold for this purpose were immaterial for both the six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025. The Company’s continuing involvement in these customer receivables is primarily limited to servicing arrangements.

NOTE 5 — LEASES

The Company enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessee. These lease contracts are typically classified as operating leases. The Company’s lease contracts are generally for office space used to conduct its business, and the determination of whether such contracts contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company also leases certain property, equipment, and warehouses. As of July 31, 2026, the remaining terms of the Company’s leases generally range from one month to approximately ten years. As of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, there were no material finance leases in which the Company was a lessee.

The Company also enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessor, primarily through customer financing arrangements offered under DFS. DFS originates leases that are primarily classified as either sales-type leases or operating leases. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Company’s lessor arrangements.

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025, total lease costs, inclusive of operating lease costs, variable costs, finance lease costs, and short-term lease costs, were immaterial.

The following table presents supplemental information related to operating leases included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of the dates indicated:

Outstanding Debt

Senior Notes — The Company completed offerings of multiple series of senior notes which were issued on June 1, 2016, March 20, 2019, April 9, 2020, December 13, 2021, January 24, 2023, March 18, 2024, October 8, 2024, April 1, 2025, October 6, 2025, and June 16, 2026 in aggregate principal amounts of $20.0 billion, $4.5 billion, $2.3 billion, $2.3 billion, $2.0 billion, $1.0 billion, $1.5 billion, $4.0 billion, $4.5 billion, and $3.0 billion, respectively (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes have maturity dates ranging from 2026 through 2051. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed, ranging from 3.38% to 8.35% per annum, and interest is payable semiannually.

Legacy Notes — The Company has outstanding unsecured notes and debentures (collectively, the “Legacy Notes”) that were issued by Dell Inc. (“Dell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies Inc., prior to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies Inc. in the going-private transaction that closed in October 2013. The Legacy Notes’ maturities range from 2028 through 2040. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed, ranging from 5.40% to 7.10% per annum, and interest is payable semiannually.

DFS Debt — See Note 4 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for discussion of DFS debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.

Revolving Credit Facility — On June 10, 2026, the Company entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility"). The revolving credit facility replaced the Company's prior revolving credit facility entered into in 2021, which was repaid and terminated in connection with the closing of the new facility. The revolving credit facility, which matures on June 10, 2031, provides the Company with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion for general corporate purposes. The facility also acts as a backstop to provide liquidity support for the Company’s commercial paper program.

Table of Contents
DELL TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) the specified adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) a base rate. The margin applicable to SOFR and base rate borrowings varies based upon the Company’s existing credit ratings. The base rate is calculated based upon the greatest of the specified prime rate, the specified federal reserve bank rate, or SOFR plus 1%. The borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs.

As of July 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Commercial Paper Program — The Company maintains a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue unsecured notes in a maximum aggregate face amount of $5.0 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance. The notes are sold on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market on a private placement basis. The proceeds of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. As of July 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding issuances under the commercial paper program.

The Company may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire any amount of outstanding indebtedness under the terms of such indebtedness at any time and from time to time, in open market or negotiated transactions with the holders of such indebtedness or otherwise, as considered appropriate in light of market conditions and other relevant factors.

Covenants — The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Legacy Notes impose various limitations, subject to exceptions, on creating certain liens and entering into sale and lease-back transactions. The foregoing credit agreement and indentures contain customary events of default, and the revolving credit facility is subject to an interest coverage ratio covenant that is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter with respect to the Company’s preceding four fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with this financial covenant as of July 31, 2026.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures, respectively.

The Company’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge the exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings and protecting the fair values of assets and liabilities. The earnings effects of the derivative instruments are presented in the same line items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the earnings effects of the hedged items. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the instruments.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Hedge accounting is applied based upon the criteria established by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The risk of loss associated with forward contracts is equal to the exchange rate differential from the time the contract is entered into until the time it is settled. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. The majority of these contracts typically expire in twelve months or less.

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and August 1, 2025, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges related to foreign exchange contracts that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations due to the probability that the forecasted cash flows would not occur.

The Company uses forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. These contracts generally expire in three months or less, are considered economic hedges, and are not designated for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of these instruments represents a natural hedge as their gains and losses offset the changes in the underlying fair value of the monetary assets and liabilities due to movements in currency exchange rates.

In connection with DFS operations in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies other than Euro. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on structured financing debt. The interest rate swaps economically convert the variable rate on the structured financing debt to a fixed interest rate to match the underlying fixed rate being received on fixed-term customer leases and loans. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within four years or less.

Interest rate swaps are utilized to manage the interest rate risk, at a portfolio level, associated with DFS operations in Europe. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on financing receivables to a one-month or three-month Euribor floating rate in order to match the floating rate nature of the banks’ funding pool. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage the cash flows related to interest payments on Dell Bank senior unsecured eurobonds. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on the eurobonds to a floating rate to match the underlying lease repayments profile. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within five years or less. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the senior unsecured eurobonds.

The Company utilizes cross-currency amortizing swaps to hedge the currency and interest rate risk exposure associated with the European securitization program. The cross-currency swaps combine a Euro-based interest rate swap with a British Pound or U.S. Dollar foreign exchange forward contract in which the Company pays a fixed or floating British Pound or U.S. Dollar amount and receives a fixed or floating amount in Euros linked to the one-month Euribor rate. The notional value of the swaps amortizes in line with the expected cash flows and runoff of the securitized assets. The swaps are not designated for hedge accounting and expire within five years or less.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter and whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred.

For the annual impairment review performed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company assessed the goodwill in each of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company is permitted to conduct a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company’s qualitative assessment included consideration of the relevant events and circumstances affecting the reporting unit, including macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, recent market transactions, overall financial performance, trends in the public company market valuation, changes in projected future cash flows, and the results of the most recent quantitative assessment, where applicable. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets were higher than their respective carrying values. No goodwill or indefinite-lived assets impairment test was performed during the six months ended July 31, 2026.

NOTE 9 — DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue consists of support and deployment services, software maintenance, training, software-as-a-service, and undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company has invoiced or payments have been received for undelivered products or services, or in situations where revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Revenue is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are completed.

The following table presents the changes in the Company’s deferred revenue for the periods indicated:

Long-term$14,957 $12,422 $14,957 $12,422 

Remaining Performance Obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations, which includes deferred revenue and unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue, was approximately $132 billion as of July 31, 2026. The Company expects to recognize approximately 77% of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next twelve months, approximately 14% in the following twelve months, and the remainder thereafter.

The Company excludes from remaining performance obligations the revenue under cancelable contracts where there is no substantive termination penalty. Additionally, the Company applies the practical expedient to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations where revenue is recognized at the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

Remaining performance obligations estimates are subject to change and are affected by multiple factors, including terminations, changes in the scope or price of contracts, and adjustments for currency.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations that are enforceable and legally binding to purchase goods or services and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations include the non-cancelable portion or the minimum cancellation fee under the contract, and are primarily related to commitments with suppliers, software maintenance, and support services. As of July 31, 2026, such purchase obligations were $22.4 billion for the remainder of Fiscal 2027, $4.9 billion for Fiscal 2028, $6.1 billion for Fiscal 2029, $0.8 billion for Fiscal 2030, and $0.6 billion for Fiscal 2031 and thereafter.

Guarantees

The Company utilizes a limited number of contract manufacturers that assemble a portion of its products. The Company purchases components from suppliers and sells those components to such contract manufacturers. The Company reflects the sale of the components by recognizing non-trade receivables from the contract manufacturers and a reduction in inventory when title and risk of loss pass to the contract manufacturer. Cash flows related to these transactions are recorded within cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not reflect the sale of the components in revenue and does not recognize any profit on the component sales until the Company sells the related products to the customer after purchasing such products from the contract manufacturers. The agreements with the majority of the contract manufacturers permit the Company to offset its payables against the receivables, thereby mitigating the credit risk in whole or in part.

In the ordinary course of business, certain contract manufacturers may purchase components directly from a supplier, and the Company may issue financial guarantees to a supplier in connection with the purchases by such a contract manufacturer. In the event any such contract manufacturers fail to pay a supplier pursuant to the payment terms of the underlying agreements between the contract manufacturer and supplier, the Company in some circumstances would be obligated to make payments to such supplier under its financial guarantee and would have full recourse against such contract manufacturer for the amount of such payments.

As the Company largely offsets its corresponding payables against receivables with these contract manufacturers and is entitled to full recourse against the applicable contract manufacturers in the event the Company is obligated to make payments to a supplier under a financial guarantee, the Company’s payables and receivables in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are not materially impacted by the guarantees. As of July 31, 2026, the Company’s maximum potential future payments under the financial guarantees is $8.6 billion, which the Company would have recourse to recover in full from the applicable contract manufacturers. The Company believes the likelihood of having to perform under the guarantees is remote.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including those identified below, consisting of matters involving consumer, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, and other issues on a global basis.

The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities are recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. For some matters, the incurrence of a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made.

Class Action Relating to Dell 401(k) Plan — On January 28, 2026, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in a putative class action captioned Lowbruck et al. v. Dell Technologies Inc., et al., against the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Dell Benefits Administration Committee alleging a breach of fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). In the complaint, the plaintiffs seek a judicial declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to remove imprudent investments from the Dell 401(k) (“Plan”) in a reasonable time, engaging in transactions allegedly prohibited under ERISA, and failing to monitor the fiduciaries responsible for the Plan’s administration. The plaintiffs also seek, among other remedies, an award of damages, fees, and costs in an unspecified amount. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.

In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the Company provides disclosures of matters where it is at least reasonably possible that the Company could experience a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for across all proceedings or matters. In addition, the Company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer, and employee relations considerations. As of July 31, 2026, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for across all proceedings or matters has been incurred. However, since the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings and matters is inherently unpredictable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by unfavorable outcomes in one or more of these proceedings or matters. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation, or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, timing, and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages, or other remedies or consequences.

Indemnifications Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various contracts under which it may agree to indemnify other parties for losses incurred from certain events as defined in the relevant contract, such as litigation, regulatory penalties, or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnification obligations have not been material to the Company.

Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into with VMware, Inc. (currently operating under the name VMware LLC, and individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”), Dell Technologies and VMware agreed to indemnify each other and their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, and any successors and assigns of the foregoing, from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to each party as part of the separation of their respective businesses. The amounts that VMware and Dell Technologies may be obligated to pay each other could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. Net income tax indemnification receivables from VMware were immaterial as of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026.

NOTE 11 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

For the three months ended July 31, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 19.5% on pre-tax income of $5.1 billion compared to 19.2% on pre-tax income of $1.4 billion for the three months ended August 1, 2025. For the six months ended July 31, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 16.6% on pre-tax income of $9.1 billion compared to 15.6% on pre-tax income of $2.5 billion for the six months ended August 1, 2025. The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to the taxation of foreign earnings at different rates, as well as to discrete tax items.

In June 2023, the Company received a Revenue Agent’s Report for the federal income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) of fiscal years 2018 through 2019. The IRS proposed significant adjustments primarily relating to certain transactions the Company completed as part of its business integration efforts. In August 2023, the Company submitted a written protest to the IRS relating to certain assessments. The Company received a rebuttal from the IRS to its written protest in April 2024. The Company disagrees with the IRS’s proposed adjustments and will contest them through the IRS administrative appeals procedures. The Company expects to continue discussions with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals throughout the fiscal year and anticipates that the appeals process for the resolution of these matters will extend beyond the next twelve months. The IRS is also currently conducting a federal income tax examination of the Company for fiscal years 2020 through 2022.

The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions. With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to the fiscal year ended February 2, 2018.

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. Net unrecognized tax benefits were $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion as of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, respectively, and are included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to all income tax matters contained in tax periods open to examination, including the IRS audits described above. Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties with respect to these audits, should the Company experience unfavorable outcomes, such outcomes could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

NOTE 13 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

NOTE 14 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its financial results through two reportable segments which are based on the following business units: Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) and Client Solutions Group (“CSG”). The Company organizes its reportable segments based on the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM is regularly provided and reviews segment revenue and segment operating income to assess the performance of each segment and allocate resources to the segments in the annual planning process. The Company’s measure of segment revenue and segment operating income for management reporting purposes excludes Corporate and other, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, as applicable, which are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, the segments. The Company does not allocate assets to its reportable segments for internal reporting purposes. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026.

ISG includes the Company’s Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-optimized servers offerings, traditional servers and networking offerings, and storage offerings as major product categories. The Company’s AI-optimized servers are designed to run high-value workloads, including AI model training, fine-tuning, and inferencing. The Company’s traditional servers are high-performance general-purpose servers designed to deliver scalable performance, reliability, and efficient management across a wide range of enterprise workloads. The Company’s networking portfolio includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics. The Company’s comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions that span primary, unstructured and data protection offerings and are delivered through multiple architectures, including all-flash, purpose-built, software-defined, and hyper-converged infrastructure platforms. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment.

CSG includes the Company’s commercial offerings and consumer offerings as major product categories. The Company’s CSG portfolio includes branded PCs, including notebooks, desktops, and workstations and branded peripherals that include displays, docking stations, keyboards, mice, and webcam and audio devices, as well as third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties.

In March 2024, the Company terminated the Commercial Framework Agreement with VMware, whereby Dell Technologies acted as a distributor of VMware’s stand-alone products and services and purchased such products and services for resale to end-user customers (“VMware Resale”). Dell Technologies no longer acts as a distributor of those products and services, although it continues to support customers that have purchased resale offerings sold in prior periods. The results of VMware Resale transactions are reflected in Corporate and other. The Company continues to integrate and embed certain VMware products and services with the Company’s VxRail solution to end-user customers. The results for this integrated offering are reflected within ISG.

Supply Chain Finance Program

The Company maintains a Supply Chain Finance Program (the “SCF Program”), which enables eligible suppliers, at the supplier's sole discretion, to sell receivables due from the Company to a third-party financial institution. The Company has no involvement in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangement between its suppliers and the financial institution, no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell a receivable, and does not provide legally secured assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangement. The SCF Program does not impact the Company's liquidity, as payments for participating supplier invoices are remitted by the Company to the financial institution on the original invoice due date, regardless of whether an individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution.

As of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the Company had $3.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, included within accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position representing invoices due to suppliers confirmed as valid under the SCF Program.

INTRODUCTION

Company Overview

Dell Technologies is a leader in the global technology industry focused on providing broad and innovative technology solutions for the data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) era. We build and offer solutions ranging from client devices and peripherals to infrastructure solutions across servers, networking, and storage to meet the evolving needs of our customers and drive better business outcomes. With our extensive portfolio and our commitment to innovation, we offer secure, integrated solutions that extend from the edge to the core to the cloud, and we are at the forefront of AI, software-defined, and cloud native infrastructure solutions. Our vision is to become the most essential technology partner. We intend to realize our vision by executing our strategy of leveraging our strengths to extend our leadership positions and capture new growth.

We are organized into two business units which are also our reportable segments: Infrastructure Solutions Group and Client Solutions Group.

Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) — We provide a comprehensive portfolio of advanced infrastructure solutions designed to help customers simplify, streamline, and automate information technology (“IT”) operations. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment. Our major product categories within ISG include our AI-optimized servers offerings, our traditional servers and networking offerings, and our storage offerings.

•AI-optimized servers — We offer a specialized portfolio of AI-optimized servers designed to handle the most demanding compute-intensive workloads, including AI model training, fine-tuning, and inferencing.

•Traditional servers and networking — Our traditional servers portfolio provides the trusted foundation for modern IT environments, supporting a wide range of general-purpose and mission-critical workloads, including certain AI-related workloads such as inferencing. Our networking portfolio helps our business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, complementing our storage and AI-optimized and traditional servers offerings, and includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics.

•Storage — Our comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions that span primary, unstructured and data protection offerings and are delivered through multiple architectures, including all-flash, purpose-built, software-defined, and hyper-converged infrastructure platforms.

45


Table of Contents
Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) — Our CSG portfolio includes branded personal computers (“PCs”), including notebooks, desktops, and workstations, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties. Our major product categories within CSG include our commercial offerings and consumer offerings.

•Commercial — Our commercial portfolio provides customers with solutions centered on flexibility to address their complex needs such as IT modernization, hybrid work transformation, and other critical areas.

•Consumer — Our consumer portfolio provides customers with solutions ranging from essential computing, connectivity, and productivity needs of the everyday user to powerful performance, processing, and end-user experiences in high-end consumer and gaming offerings.

Corporate and other primarily consists of our historical resale of standalone offerings of VMware LLC (formerly VMware, Inc. and individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”), referred to as “VMware Resale.” These offerings are no longer actively sold and Corporate and other is not classified as an operating segment.

For further discussion regarding our current reportable segments, see “Results of Operations — Business Unit Results” and Note 14 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

We offer customers choices in how they acquire our solutions, including traditional purchasing and offerings under the Dell Payment Solutions portfolio. These offerings provide both payment and consumption solutions, including utility, subscription, as-a-service, leases, and loans, which allow our customers to pay over time and provide them with operational and financial flexibility. Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) support financing solutions and services as part of the portfolio. For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Business Trends and Challenges

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, we executed our strategy and delivered exceptional operating results, generating significant net revenue and operating income growth. The following trends and conditions affected the environment in which we operated:

•Macroeconomic environment: We continued to experience substantial demand growth across our ISG offerings, resulting in ISG net revenue growth and a continued shift in the mix of the business towards our ISG offerings. Additionally, the demand environment was significant for our CSG offerings, resulting in CSG net revenue growth.

•Demand for AI-optimized servers: Our ISG business benefitted from substantial demand for our AI-optimized servers offerings as customers continue to adopt and further integrate AI, resulting in a significant increase in backlog as we exited the quarter. Given the scale of the AI opportunities, the varying stages of customer readiness, and the frequency of component part updates or transitions, there is inherent non-linearity in the timing of demand and subsequent shipments for our AI-optimized servers offerings, which continues to drive variability in our revenue.

•Technology refresh: Within our ISG business, we continue to see customers modernize and consolidate their data centers as more customers transition to next-generation products and expand capacity to support growing workloads, which has resulted in significant demand within our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. Additionally, within our CSG business, the PC refresh cycle is underway as customers continue to upgrade their devices, which has contributed to significant demand for our commercial offerings.

•Supply chain: We experienced an increase in input costs, driven by higher component costs. Strong and accelerating industry demand for AI‑optimized solutions, together with current limitations in capacity from memory manufacturers, has resulted in global supply constraints and substantial inflation in memory component costs.

•Business modernization initiatives: We continue to prioritize ongoing modernization initiatives to achieve greater efficiencies and streamline our processes, while also continuing to make strategic investments designed to enable growth and innovation. These initiatives have partially contributed to a net reduction in our operating expense rate.

46


Table of Contents
We remain focused on executing our key strategic priorities, creating long-term value for our shareholders, and addressing our customers’ needs. We have the following expectations regarding our performance for the full fiscal year:

•Revenue: Overall, we expect IT environments to enable growth, productivity, and competitive advantage for our customers. As a result, we anticipate significant ISG and strong CSG net revenue growth. We expect ISG net revenue growth will be driven largely by increased demand for our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings.

•Gross margin: We expect margin growth, while balancing anticipated margin rate pressure resulting from a continuing shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings. We expect the notable inflationary environment for component costs will persist throughout the remainder of Fiscal 2027. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving commodity supply environment and will leverage the agility and scale of our world-class supply chain as we seek to maintain disciplined pricing while balancing profitability and growth.

•Operating expenses: We continue to advance our own capabilities to change the way we work and make decisions, improve business outcomes and the customer experience, leverage new technology, and optimize business processes. We remain committed to disciplined cost management in coordination with our ongoing business modernization initiatives, and expect to continue to scale operating expenses as we take targeted measures to manage costs, including employee reorganizations, limitation of external hiring, and other actions to align our investments with our strategic priorities and customer needs.

We believe our unique operating advantages provide a foundation to foster business growth, enable innovation, drive efficiencies, and continue to position us for long-term success.

ISG — We expect that ISG will be influenced by the dynamic nature of the IT infrastructure market and the competitive landscape. With our extensive scale and market-leading solutions portfolio, we believe we are well-positioned to navigate these competitive dynamics and evolving technology trends to meet customer needs. By leveraging our collaborative, customer-focused approach to innovation, we aim to deliver relevant new and next-generation solutions and software to our customers swiftly and efficiently. We remain focused on expanding our customer base and enhancing the lifetime value of our customer relationships.

We anticipate that ISG will continue to benefit from technology advancements and interest in AI as customers continue to adopt and integrate AI. The timing of customer purchases reflects the varying stages of adoption of AI by different customer segments and drives variability in our revenue. To meet the growing demand and increasing complexity of our AI-optimized servers offerings, we have increased our purchases of certain components with suppliers, which has resulted in increased inventory levels, higher purchase obligations, and new working capital dynamics. Additionally, frequent component part updates or transitions may create additional challenges in managing demand and supply levels.

We expect that growth in data will continue to generate long-term demand for our storage solutions and services. We continue to expand our offerings in external storage arrays, which incorporate flexible, cloud-based functionality. We benefit from offering solutions that provide the foundation for AI, enabling organizations to store, protect, and manage data across environments for both traditional and AI workloads. Our storage business is subject to seasonal trends, which may continue to impact ISG results.

CSG — Our CSG offerings are an important element of our strategy, generating strong cash flow and opportunities for cross-selling of complementary solutions. We maintain a broad presence across all segments of the PC market. Our strategic focus is on driving share gain while balancing profitability across all segments, enhancing our product portfolio to address evolving customer needs, and expanding our presence across the broader PC ecosystem through branded peripherals. We anticipate that CSG will benefit from advances in AI over the long-term as customers will require PCs with the ability to run their complex AI workloads.

Competitive dynamics remain an important factor in our CSG business and continue to influence pricing and operating results. We are committed to our long-term CSG strategy and will continue to make investments to innovate across the portfolio. We expect that the CSG demand environment will continue to be subject to seasonal trends and to be influenced by the PC refresh cycle.

Table of Contents
Relationship with VMware — In March 2024, following the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, we terminated our Commercial Framework Agreement with VMware, whereby we acted as a distributor of VMware standalone products and services. We no longer act as a distributor of those products and services, although we continue to support customers that have purchased resale offerings sold in prior periods. We continue to integrate and embed certain VMware products and services with our VxRail solution for end-user customers. The results for this integrated offering are reflected within ISG.

Recurring Revenue and Consumption Models — We expect that our flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for recurring revenue. We define recurring revenue as revenue recognized that is primarily related to hardware and software maintenance, as well as operating leases, subscription, as-a-service, and usage-based offerings.

Strategic Investments and Acquisitions — As part of our strategy, we will continue to evaluate opportunities for strategic investments through our venture capital investment arm, Dell Technologies Capital, with a focus on emerging technology areas that are relevant to our business and that will complement our existing portfolio of solutions. The technologies or products these companies have under development are typically in the early stages and may never have commercial value, which could result in a loss of a substantial part of our investment in the companies. In addition to these investments, we may also make targeted acquisitions of businesses that advance our strategic objectives and accelerate our innovation agenda.

Foreign Currency Exposure — We manage our business on a U.S. Dollar basis. However, we have a large global presence, generating approximately 40% of our net revenue from sales to customers outside of the United States during both the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027 and 40% and 45% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2026, respectively. As a result, our operating results can be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize a comprehensive hedging strategy intended to mitigate the impact of foreign currency volatility over time, and we adjust pricing when possible to further minimize foreign currency impacts.

Other Macroeconomic Risks and Uncertainties — The impacts of trade protection measures, including changes in tariffs and trade barriers, changes in government policies and international trade arrangements, geopolitical volatility associated with terrorism, military conflicts (including the Iran conflict), and other events, and global macroeconomic conditions, or uncertainty regarding the impact of proposed or future trade protection measures, may affect our results of operations in some markets. We continue to leverage the agility and scale of our world-class supply chain to mitigate impacts of trade protection measures and will continue to respond to changing market conditions as needed.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In this management’s discussion and analysis, we use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP product gross margin; non-GAAP services gross margin; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance or liquidity in isolation from or as a substitute for gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, or cash flows from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in financial planning and forecasting and when evaluating our financial results and operating trends and performance. We believe, when used supplementally with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide our investors with useful and transparent information to help them evaluate our results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our results of operations and enabling them to make period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted, as defined by us, exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, other corporate expenses and, for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted, fair value adjustments on equity investments and an aggregate adjustment for income taxes. As the excluded items may have a material impact on our financial results, our management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally or for projections when comparable GAAP financial measures are not available.

Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. The discussion below includes information on each of the excluded items as well as our reasons for excluding them from our non-GAAP results. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.

The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures.

•Amortization of Intangible Assets — Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of the amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with our acquisition by merger of EMC Corporation in 2016, all of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction date. We exclude amortization charges for the amortization of intangible assets as they do not reflect our current operating performance and charges are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions and, as a result, may vary in amount from period to period.

•Stock-based Compensation Expense — Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, we use the Monte Carlo valuation model. For other share-based awards, the fair value is generally based on the closing price of the Class C Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant or most recent preceding trading day if the grant date falls on a non-trading day. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, we exclude such expense because the fair value of the stock-based awards may fluctuate based on factors unrelated to the operating performance of the business and may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related stock-based awards.

•Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consist primarily of severance expenses, transaction-related impacts of the sales of businesses, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, incentive charges related to equity investments, and transaction-related expenses. Severance costs are primarily related to severance and benefits for employees impacted by cost management initiatives. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, we recognized $0.5 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, of severance expense related to workforce reduction activities. During the first six months of Fiscal 2026, we recognized a $0.2 billion gain related to the sale of our subsidiary SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”). Although we may incur these types of items in the future, we exclude other corporate expenses, as they can vary from period to period, are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events, and are not used by management in assessing operating performance of the business.

•Fair Value Adjustments on Equity Investments — Fair value adjustments on equity investments primarily consist of the gain (loss) on strategic investments, which includes recurring fair value adjustments of investments in publicly-traded companies, as well as those in privately-held companies, which are adjusted for observable price changes and any potential impairments. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, we recognized a $0.6 billion gain from our strategic investment portfolio related to a single investee. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on our strategic investment activity. We exclude fair value adjustments on equity investments given the volatility in ongoing adjustments to the valuation of these strategic investments and because such adjustments are unrelated to the operating performance of our business.

•Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes — The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments described above and determined based on the tax jurisdictions where those adjustments were incurred, as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. We exclude these benefits or charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income due to the variability in recognition of discrete tax items from period to period. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our income taxes. Our non-GAAP income tax was calculated using a fixed estimated annual tax rate that is determined based on historical trends and projections for the current fiscal year. We may adjust our estimated annual tax rate during the fiscal year to take into account events that would significantly impact our income tax expense, including significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in geographic mix of net revenue and expenses, changes to our corporate structure, and other significant events.

In addition to the above measures, we use free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow as non-GAAP liquidity measures to evaluate our performance. As presented in the following table, we define free cash flow as cash flow from operations after excluding capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs, net. To measure adjusted free cash flow, we exclude the impact of financing receivables and equipment under operating leases from free cash flow, as the initial funding of these DFS offerings at the time of origination is largely subsequently replaced with cash inflows from our DFS related debt.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide useful information to management and investors in part because we use these metrics in our long-term capital allocation framework. Further, we believe free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful measures to management and investors because they reflect cash that we can use, among other purposes, to repurchase common stock, pay dividends on our common stock, invest in our business, pay down debt, and make strategic acquisitions.

As is the case with the other non-GAAP measures presented above, users should consider the limitations of using free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, including the fact that those measures do not provide a complete measure of our cash flows for any period. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not purport to be alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In particular, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not reflect certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements and other contractual commitments.

The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to cash flow from operations for the periods indicated:

Non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share - diluted, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow are not measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See “Non‑GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including our reasons for including these measures, material limitations with respect to the usefulness of the measures, and a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Overview

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, net revenue increased by 58% and 71%, respectively, driven by an increase in ISG net revenue and, to a lesser extent, CSG net revenue that was partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and other net revenue. The increase in ISG net revenue was driven by growth in our AI-optimized servers offerings and, to a lesser extent, our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. The increase in CSG net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our commercial offerings. Corporate and other net revenue declined primarily due to a decrease in VMware Resale revenue, as we no longer act as a distributor of standalone VMware offerings.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income increased by 204% to $5.4 billion and 160% to $5.9 billion, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income increased by 208% to $9.0 billion and 157% to $10.2 billion, respectively. The increases were attributable to an increase in ISG operating income and, to a lesser extent, CSG operating income. The increase in ISG operating income was driven by our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG operating income was driven primarily by our commercial offerings.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 550 basis points to 11.5% and 450 basis points to 10.0%, respectively. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 490 basis points to 12.6% and 380 basis points to 11.2%, respectively. Operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue benefited from the favorable impact of a decline in operating expense rate as a result of substantial net revenue growth. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income rate also benefited from an increase in gross margin rate driven by disciplined pricing.

Cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and was driven by net revenue growth, profitability, and working capital dynamics, partially offset by higher financing receivables, all of which factors were primarily affected by increased demand for our ISG offerings. During the first six months of Fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 billion and was driven by net revenue growth, profitability, and similar working capital dynamics. See “Liquidity, Cash Requirements, and Market Conditions” for additional information about our cash flow metrics.

We continue to see opportunities to create value and grow as we respond to long-term demand for our IT solutions driven by a data- and AI-enabled world. We have demonstrated our ability to adjust to changing market conditions with complementary solutions and innovation across both segments of our business, an agile workforce, and the strength of our global supply chain. As we continue to innovate and modernize our offerings, we believe that Dell Technologies is well-positioned for long-term profitable growth.

Net Revenue

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, net revenue increased 58% and 71%, respectively, driven by an increase in ISG net revenue and, to a lesser extent, CSG net revenue that was partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and other net revenue. See “Business Unit Results” for further information.

•Product Net Revenue — Product net revenue includes revenue from the sale of hardware products and software licenses. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, product net revenue increased 72% and 91%, respectively, due to an increase in ISG product net revenue and, to a lesser extent, CSG product net revenue. The increase in ISG product net revenue was primarily driven by growth in our AI-optimized servers offerings and, to a lesser extent, our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. The increase in CSG product net revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our commercial offerings.

•Services Net Revenue — Services net revenue includes revenue from our services offerings and support services related to hardware products and software licenses. During both the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, services net revenue remained flat as a decline in Corporate and other services net revenue was offset by an increase in ISG services net revenue.

A substantial portion of services net revenue is derived from offerings that have been deferred over a period of time. As a result, reported growth rates for services net revenue will be different than reported growth rates for product net revenue.

From a geographical perspective, net revenue increased in the Americas, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (“EMEA”), and the Asia-Pacific and Japan region (“APJ”) during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, most notably within the Americas.

Gross Margin

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin increased 80% to $9.8 billion and 78% to $9.9 billion, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin increased 70% to $17.6 billion and 68% to $17.9 billion, respectively. The increases in gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin were primarily due to an increase in ISG gross margin and, to a lesser extent, CSG gross margin. The increase in ISG gross margin was driven by growth in our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG gross margin was primarily driven by growth in our commercial offerings.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, gross margin percentage and non-GAAP gross margin percentage increased 260 basis points to 20.9% and 240 basis points to 21.1%, respectively, driven by disciplined pricing. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, gross margin percentage and non-GAAP gross margin percentage decreased 10 basis points to 19.4% and 30 basis points to 19.7%, respectively, primarily due to a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings, the effect of which was largely offset by disciplined pricing.

•Product Gross Margin — During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, product gross margin and non-GAAP product gross margin increased 146% to $7.1 billion and 143% to $7.2 billion, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, product gross margin and non-GAAP product gross margin increased 130% to $12.4 billion and 127% to $12.5 billion, respectively. The increases were attributable to an increase in ISG product gross margin and, to a lesser extent, CSG product gross margin. The increase in ISG product gross margin was driven by growth in our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG gross margin was primarily attributable to growth in our commercial offerings.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, both product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage increased 520 basis points to 17.3% and 17.5%, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage increased 270 basis points to 15.6% and 260 basis points to 15.8%, respectively. The increases in product gross margin percentage and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage were primarily due to disciplined pricing. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, the increases were partially offset by a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.

•Services Gross Margin — During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, services gross margin and non-GAAP services gross margin increased 6% to $2.7 billion and 5% to $2.8 billion, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, both services gross margin and non-GAAP services gross margin increased 5% to $5.2 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in ISG services gross margin.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, services gross margin percentage and non-GAAP services gross margin percentage increased 240 basis points to 46.2% and 210 basis points to 47.0%, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, services gross margin percentage and non-GAAP services gross margin percentage increased 210 basis points to 45.2% and 240 basis points to 46.5%, respectively, primarily driven by a shift in mix, as we no longer act as a distributor of standalone VMware offerings.

Vendor Programs

Our gross margin is affected by our ability to achieve competitive pricing with our vendors and contract manufacturers, including through our negotiation of a variety of vendor rebate programs to achieve lower net costs for the various components we include in our products. Under these programs, vendors provide us with rebates or other discounts from the list prices for the components, which are generally elements of their pricing strategy. We account for vendor rebates and other discounts as a reduction in cost of net revenue. We manage our costs on a total net cost basis, which includes supplier list prices reduced by vendor rebates and other discounts.

The terms and conditions of our vendor rebate programs are largely based on product volumes and are generally negotiated either at the beginning of the annual or quarterly period, depending on the program. The timing and amount of vendor rebates and other discounts we receive under the programs may vary from period to period, reflecting changes in the competitive environment. We monitor our component costs and seek to address the effects of any changes to terms that might arise under our vendor rebate programs. Our gross margins for the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027 were not materially affected by any changes to the terms of our vendor rebate programs, as the amounts we received under these programs were generally stable relative to our total net cost. We are not aware of any significant changes to our vendor rebate programs that will materially impact our results in the near term.

We continue to make strategic investments designed to enable growth and innovation, while balancing our efforts to drive cost efficiencies in the business. We also expect to continue making investments in support of our own digital transformation, which aims to streamline and optimize our business processes.

Operating Income

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income increased by 204% to $5.4 billion and 160% to $5.9 billion, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income increased by 208% to $9.0 billion and 157% to $10.2 billion, respectively. The increases were attributable to an increase in ISG operating income and, to a lesser extent, CSG operating income. The increase in ISG operating income was driven by our servers and networking offerings and, to a lesser extent, our storage offerings. The increase in CSG operating income was driven primarily by our commercial offerings.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 490 basis points to 12.6% and 380 basis points to 11.2%, respectively. Operating income and non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenue benefited from the favorable impact of a decline in operating expense rate as a result of substantial net revenue growth. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, operating income and non-GAAP operating income rate also benefited from an increase in gross margin rate driven by disciplined pricing.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, interest and other, net decreased by 24% to $254 million of expense and 109% to $38 million of income, respectively. The favorable changes were primarily attributable to gains recognized within our strategic investments portfolio.

Income and Other Taxes

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, our effective income tax rates were 19.5% on pre-tax income of $5.1 billion and 19.2% on pre-tax income of $1.4 billion, respectively. For the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, our effective income tax rates were 16.6% on pre-tax income of $9.1 billion and 15.6% on pre-tax income of $2.5 billion, respectively.

See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our income and other taxes.

Net Income

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, net income and non-GAAP net income increased 255% to $4.1 billion and 189% to $4.6 billion, respectively. During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, net income and non-GAAP net income increased 256% to $7.6 billion and 191% to $7.8 billion, respectively. The increases in net income and non-GAAP net income for both periods were primarily due to an increase in operating income, partially offset by higher income tax expense.

Net Revenue — During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, ISG net revenue increased 89% and 124%, respectively, driven by strength in our AI-optimized servers offerings and, to a lesser extent, our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings.

AI-optimized servers net revenue increased 100% and 222% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in units sold as a result of significant increased demand for our AI-optimized servers offerings, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average selling prices of these offerings. The increase in average selling prices was driven by richer configurations and, to a lesser extent, disciplined pricing.

Traditional servers and networking net revenue increased 122% and 108% during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in the average selling price of these offerings, driven by disciplined pricing and, to a lesser extent, richer configurations.

During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, storage net revenue increased 26% and 17%, respectively, primarily due to growth in demand for our Dell-IP storage offerings and disciplined pricing.

From a geographical perspective, ISG net revenue increased in the Americas, EMEA, and APJ during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027, most notably within the Americas.

Operating Income — During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 620 basis points to 15.0% due to a decline in operating expense rate and an increase in gross margin rate. Operating expense rate declined primarily due to substantial ISG net revenue growth. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by disciplined pricing.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, ISG operating income as a percentage of net revenue increased 380 basis points to 12.9% due to a decline in operating expense rate that outpaced the decline in gross margin rate. Operating expense rate declined primarily due to substantial ISG net revenue growth. Gross margin rate decreased primarily as the result of a shift in mix towards our AI-optimized servers offerings.

OTHER BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Accounts Receivable

We sell products and services directly to customers and through a variety of sales channels, including retail distribution. Our accounts receivable, net was $22.9 billion and $17.6 billion as of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable, net was primarily driven by an increase in net revenue largely due to our AI-optimized servers offerings. We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for expected credit losses is an estimate based on an analysis of historical loss experience, current receivables aging, and management’s assessment of current conditions, as well as specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. As of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the allowance for expected credit losses was $56 million and $77 million, respectively. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses.

Dell Financial Services and Financing Receivables

We offer or arrange a portfolio of payment and consumption solutions and services for our customers globally, including as-a-service, subscription, utility, leases, and loans, designed to match customers' consumption and financing preferences. We believe these options provide operational and financial flexibility and strengthen our customer relationships. To support financing solutions and services as part of the portfolio, DFS originates, collects, and services customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of our product and services solutions. New financing originations were $7.5 billion and $2.4 billion for the second quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively, and $10.3 billion and $4.0 billion for the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively. The increase in our new financing originations was primarily attributable to increased demand for our ISG offerings.

Our leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. On commencement of sales-type leases, we recognize profit up-front and recognize amounts due from the customer under the lease contract as financing receivables. Interest income is recognized as net product revenue over the term of the lease. Upon origination of operating leases, we record equipment under operating leases, classified as property, plant, and equipment, net. We recognize product revenue and depreciation expense, classified as cost of net revenue, over the contract term.

As of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, our financing receivables, net were $20.4 billion and $14.3 billion, respectively. The increase in financing receivables, net was primarily attributable to increased demand for our ISG offerings. We maintain an allowance to cover expected financing receivables credit losses and evaluate credit loss expectations based on our total portfolio. The principal charge-off rate for our financing receivables portfolio was 0.5% and 0.1% for the second quarter of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively, and 0.4% and 0.2% for the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively. The credit quality of our financing receivables remains strong due to the mix of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio. We continue to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance. We have an extensive process to manage our exposure to customer credit risk that includes active management of credit lines and collection activities. We also sell select fixed-term financing receivables without recourse to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, primarily to manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure. Based on our assessment of the customer financing receivables, we believe that we are adequately reserved.

We retain a residual interest in equipment leased under our lease programs. As of both July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, the residual interest recorded as part of financing receivables was $0.2 billion. The amount of the residual interest is established at the inception of the lease based upon estimates of the value of the equipment at the end of the lease term using historical studies, industry data, and future value-at-risk demand valuation methods. On a quarterly basis, we assess the carrying amount of our recorded residual values for expected losses. Generally, expected losses as a result of residual value risk on equipment under lease are not considered to be significant primarily because of the existence of a secondary market with respect to the equipment. Further, the lease agreement defines applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance to ensure that the leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return. No expected losses were recorded related to residual assets during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026.

Table of Contents
As of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, equipment under operating leases, net was $3.2 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. We assess the carrying amount of the equipment under operating leases for impairment whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred. No material impairment losses were recorded related to such equipment during the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026.

See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our financing receivables and the associated allowances, and equipment under operating leases.

LIQUIDITY, CASH REQUIREMENTS, AND MARKET CONDITIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely on operating cash flows, which are impacted by trends in the demand environment, as our primary source of liquidity for our ongoing business operations. We monitor the efficiency of our balance sheet to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to support our business and strategic initiatives.

In addition to internally generated cash, we have access to other capital sources to finance our strategic initiatives and fund growth in our financing operations. Our strategy is to deploy capital from any potential source, whether internally generated cash or debt, depending on the adequacy and availability of that source of capital and whether it can be accessed in a cost-effective manner.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with cash that will be provided by future operations and borrowings and issuances expected to be available under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, will be sufficient over the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter to meet our material cash requirements, including funding of our operations, debt-related payments, capital expenditures, and other corporate needs.

As part of our overall capital allocation strategy, we intend to continue returning capital to our shareholders through both share repurchase programs and dividend payments and to use the remaining available cash to drive growth and maintain our investment grade credit rating.

The following table presents our cash and cash equivalents as well as our available borrowings as of the dates indicated:
July 31, 2026January 30, 2026
(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents$11,569 $11,528 
Remaining available borrowings under the revolving credit facility5,884 5,886 
Total cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings$17,453 $17,414 

During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, cash and cash equivalents was flat as the cash flows from operating activities and net proceeds from the issuance of debt were largely offset by the return of capital to our shareholders and capital expenditures.

As of July 31, 2026, our revolving credit facility had a maximum capacity of $6.0 billion. Available borrowings under this facility are reduced by draws on the facility and outstanding letters of credit. As of July 31, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings pursuant to draws on the facility and remaining available borrowings totaled approximately $5.9 billion. The facility also acts as a backstop to provide liquidity support for our commercial paper program.

We maintain a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured notes in a maximum aggregate face amount of $5.0 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. As of July 31, 2026, we had no outstanding issuances under the program.

We may regularly use our available borrowings from the revolving credit facility and issuances under the commercial paper program, generally on a short-term basis, for general corporate purposes. See the following discussion for additional information about our debt.

Total debt, carrying value$34,466 $2,963 $31,503 

During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, the outstanding principal amount of our total debt increased $3.0 billion to $34.7 billion, driven primarily by an increase in net debt from the issuance of Senior Notes.

We define core debt as the total principal amount of our debt, less DFS related debt and other debt. Our core debt was $14.0 billion and $17.0 billion as of July 31, 2026 and January 30, 2026, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our debt.

DFS debt primarily represents debt from our securitization and structured financing programs. Our risk of loss under these programs is limited to transferred lease and loan payments and associated equipment, as the credit holders have no recourse to Dell Technologies.

To fund the expansion of our DFS business, we balance the use of the securitization and structured financing programs with other sources of liquidity. We approximate the amount of our core debt used to fund the DFS business by applying a 7:1 debt-to-equity ratio to the sum of our financing receivables balance and equipment under operating leases, net, also referred to as DFS owned assets. The debt-to-equity ratio is based on the underlying credit quality of the assets. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our DFS debt.

The following table presents DFS owned assets as of the dates indicated:
July 31, 2026January 30, 2026

$20,430 $14,280 
Equipment under operating leases, net

DFS owned assets
$23,612 $16,739 

We believe we will continue to be able to make our debt principal and interest payments, including payment of short-term maturities, from existing and expected sources of cash. Cash used for debt principal and interest payments may include operating cash flows, short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program or our revolving credit facility, or other borrowings. Under our variable-rate debt, we could experience variations in our future interest expense from potential fluctuations in applicable reference rates, or from possible fluctuations in the level of DFS debt required to meet future demand for customer financing.

Table of Contents
At our sole discretion, we may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire any amount of our outstanding indebtedness under the terms of such indebtedness at any time and from time to time, in open market or negotiated transactions with the holders of such indebtedness or otherwise, as we consider appropriate in light of market conditions and other relevant factors.

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods indicated:
Six Months Ended

(in millions)
Net change in cash from:
Operating activities$6,306 $5,339

Financing activities(3,836)(228)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash(35)104 
Change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash$31 $4,472 

Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and was driven by net revenue growth, profitability, and working capital dynamics, partially offset by higher financing receivables, all of which factors were primarily affected by increased demand for our ISG offerings. During the first six months of Fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 billion and was driven by net revenue growth, profitability, and similar working capital dynamics.

Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment inclusive of equipment under operating leases and equipment used to support our as-a-service offerings, which we refer to collectively as assets in a customer contract. Additional activities may include capitalized software development costs, the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments, and acquisitions and divestitures. Cash used in investing activities was $2.4 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and primarily consisted of cash used for capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities was $0.7 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2026 and consisted of cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by cash proceeds from the sale of Secureworks.
 
Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt and return of capital to our shareholders. Cash used by financing activities was $3.8 billion and $0.2 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively, and primarily consisted of repurchases of common stock, inclusive of payments to settle employee tax withholdings on stock-based compensation, and the payment of quarterly dividends, the effects of which were partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes and DFS debt.

DFS Cash Flow Impacts — DFS offerings are initially funded through cash on hand at the time of origination, some of which is subsequently replaced with financing. For offerings that qualify as sales-type leases, the initial funding of financing receivables is reflected as an impact to cash flows from operations. For offerings that qualify as operating leases, the initial funding is classified as a capital expenditure and reflected as cash flows used in investing activities. DFS new financing originations were $10.3 billion and $4.0 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively. As of July 31, 2026, we had $20.4 billion of total net financing receivables and $3.2 billion of equipment under operating leases, net.

Supply Chain Finance Program — We maintain a Supply Chain Finance Program (the “SCF Program”) that enables eligible suppliers to sell receivables due from us to a third-party financial institution at the suppliers’ sole discretion. The SCF Program does not impact our liquidity, as payments by us to participating suppliers are remitted to the financial institution on the original invoice due date. Further, we negotiate payment terms with our suppliers regardless of their decision to participate in the SCF Program. Payments made under the SCF Program are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information regarding the SCF Program.

Capital Commitments and Other Cash Requirements

Capital Expenditures — We spent $2.2 billion and $1.2 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software development costs. Of total expenditures incurred, funding of assets in a customer contract totaled $1.6 billion and $0.7 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, respectively. Product demand, product mix, the use of contract manufacturers, and ongoing investments in operating and information technology infrastructure influence the level and prioritization of our capital expenditures.

Repurchases of Common Stock — On September 23, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program with no fixed expiration date under which we were authorized to repurchase a specified dollar value of Class C Common Stock, exclusive of any fees, commissions, or other expenses related to such repurchases. As of January 30, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 billion of Class C Common Stock and on February 26, 2026 authorized an additional $10 billion of Class C Common Stock for repurchase. Following the February 26, 2026 approval, we had approximately $15.2 billion of authorized shares remaining under the program.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2027, we repurchased approximately 20 million shares of Class C Common Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $5.4 billion. During the first six months of Fiscal 2026, we repurchased approximately 30 million shares of Class C Common Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $2.9 billion.

Dividend Payments — During the first six months of Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2026, we paid $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion in dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively, at a rate of $0.630 and $0.525 per share per fiscal quarter, respectively.

Purchase Obligations — Purchase obligations are contractual obligations that are enforceable and legally binding on us to purchase goods or services and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations include the non-cancelable portion or the minimum cancellation fee under the contract, and they are primarily related to commitments with suppliers, software maintenance, and support services.

Purchase obligations exclude contracts that may be canceled without penalty, open purchase orders that are entered into during the ordinary course of business, and certain portions of strategic supplier agreements. Open purchase orders typically represent flexible and mutually beneficial purchase arrangements with our suppliers which authorize us to make purchases based on our projected demand and manufacturing needs rather than through binding purchase obligations. Strategic supplier agreements are typically long-term in nature with fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased from our suppliers throughout the term of the contract in order to minimize inventory risk, particularly in a dynamic commodity supply environment. The portions of strategic supplier agreements for which certain commodities will be purchased at a price to be mutually agreed upon after the balance sheet date cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore are excluded from purchase obligations.

To meet growing demand, we have increased our purchases of certain components with suppliers, resulting in increased purchase obligations. We expect our purchases of those components will continue to increase, including committed purchases under long-term strategic supplier agreements at prices to be mutually agreed upon at a future date.

As of July 31, 2026, we had purchase obligations of $34.8 billion, of which $24.6 billion is payable within twelve months.

Market Conditions

We regularly monitor economic conditions and associated impacts on the financial markets and our business. We consistently evaluate the financial health of our supplier base, carefully manage customer credit, diversify counterparty risk, and monitor the concentration risk of our cash and cash equivalents balances globally. We routinely monitor our financial exposure to borrowers and counterparties.

We monitor credit risk associated with our financial counterparties using various market credit risk indicators such as credit ratings issued by nationally recognized credit rating agencies and changes in market credit default swap levels. To date, the majority of revenue from our AI‑optimized servers offerings has involved purchases by a relatively small number of large customers and cloud service providers. Such purchases generally involve larger amounts of credit, and could impact our overall credit risk in trade and financing receivables. We perform periodic evaluations of our positions with counterparties and may limit exposure to any one counterparty in accordance with our policies. We monitor and manage our positions based on current and expected market developments.

We use derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. We use forward contracts and purchased options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. In addition, we primarily use forward contracts and may use purchased options to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our use of derivative instruments.

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our variable-rate debt portfolio. In the normal course of business we follow established policies and procedures to manage this risk, including monitoring of our asset and liability mix and the use of derivative instruments. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses from interest rate risk.

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 filed with this report. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of July 31, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are in the process of an ongoing business modernization initiative to advance our capabilities, leverage new technology, and optimize business processes to change the way we work and make decisions, improve business outcomes, and reduce costs. As part of this enterprise-wide initiative, we are modernizing accounting and finance systems. During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026, we implemented certain functions of a new enterprise resource planning system, and we plan to migrate additional business processes in the future. We have modified and will continue to modify the design and implementation of certain internal control processes to accommodate changes to our business processes and finance procedures, as our business modernization initiative continues.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

SECTION 2.03 Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.

(A)    Annual Meetings of Shareholders.

(1) Advance Notice of Shareholder Business. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of any other business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders only (a) with respect to nominations for the Board of Directors, as provided in the Amended and Restated MD Shareholders Agreement dated as of July 2, 2026 between the Corporation and the shareholders party thereto (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “MD Shareholders Agreement”), the Amended and Restated SLP Shareholders Agreement dated as of July 2, 2026 between the Corporation and the shareholders party thereto (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “SLP Shareholders Agreement” and together with the MD Shareholders Agreement, the “Sponsor Shareholders Agreements”), and the Corporation’s certificate of formation as then in effect (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Certificate of Formation”), (b) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) delivered pursuant to Section 2.04 of these Bylaws, (c) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof, or (d) by any Eligible Shareholder (as defined in Section 2.03(C)(2)(iii)) who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who, subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (C)(5) of this Section 2.03, complied with the notice procedures set forth in paragraphs (A)(2), (A)(3) and (A)(4) of this Section 2.03.

(2) Timeliness of Shareholder Notice. For director nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by an Eligible Shareholder pursuant to clause (d) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 2.03, the Eligible Shareholder shall have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Corporation, and, in the case of business other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, such other business shall constitute a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, an Eligible Shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than seventy (70) days, from the anniversary date of the previous year’s meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the Eligible Shareholder to be timely shall be so delivered not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. Public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of an Eligible Shareholder’s notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03(A)(2) to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least one hundred (100) calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders, then an Eligible Shareholder’s
5


notice required by this Section 2.03(A)(2) shall be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the Secretary not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) calendar day following the day on which the public announcement referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.03(A)(2) is first made by the Corporation. The number of nominees an Eligible Shareholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting.

(3) Required Content in Shareholder Notice. Such Eligible Shareholder’s notice shall set forth the following information:

(a) in the case where an Eligible Shareholder proposes to nominate an individual for election or re-election as a member of the Board of Directors, (i) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including such person’s written consent to being named in the Corporation’s proxy statement and associated proxy card, as applicable, as a nominee of the Eligible Shareholder and to serving as a director if elected, and (ii) a representation that the Eligible Shareholder is a holder of record at the time of the giving of the notice and will be entitled to vote at such meeting (A) the requisite shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (each as defined in the Certificate of Formation) if the nominee is nominated to be a Group I Director (as defined in the Certificate of Formation), and/or (B) the requisite shares of Class C Common Stock if the nominee is nominated to be a Group IV Director (as defined in the Certificate of Formation);

(b) as to any other business that the Eligible Shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), (iii) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and (iv) any material interest in such business of such Eligible Shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made;

(c) as to the Eligible Shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such Eligible Shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books and records, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned, directly or indirectly, beneficially and of record by such Eligible Shareholder and such beneficial owner, including any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation to which such Eligible Shareholder and such beneficial owner or any of their respective affiliates or associates has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future, (iii) a representation that the Eligible Shareholder meets the applicable criteria for an “Eligible Shareholder” as set forth in Section 2.03(C)(2)(iii) herein and will appear in person or by proxy (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes remote appearance at virtual meetings) at
6


the meeting to propose such business or nomination, (iv) a representation whether the Eligible Shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, will be or is part of a group that will (A) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (B) otherwise solicit proxies or votes from shareholders in support of such proposal or nomination, which, in the case of a proposal related to matters other than the nomination of directors or procedural resolutions that are ancillary to the conduct of the meeting, shall include a solicitation of the holders of at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the proposal, (v) a certification regarding whether such Eligible Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, have complied with all applicable federal, state and other legal requirements in connection with the Eligible Shareholder’s and/or beneficial owner’s acquisition of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation and/or the Eligible Shareholder’s and/or beneficial owner’s acts or omissions as a shareholder of the Corporation and (vi) any other information relating to such Eligible Shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in an election contest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

(d) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination or proposal and/or the voting of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation between or among the Eligible Shareholder giving the notice, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, any of their respective affiliates or associates and/or any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing (collectively, “proponent persons”), including, in the case of a nomination or nominations, the nominee(s), including any agreements, arrangements or understandings relating to any compensation or payments to be paid to any such proposed nominee(s), pertaining to the nomination(s) or other business proposed to be brought before the meeting of shareholders (which description shall identify the name of each other person who is party to any such agreement, arrangement or understanding);
(e) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including, without limitation, any contract to purchase or sell, the acquisition or grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell or any swap or other instrument) to which any proponent person is a party, the intent or effect of which may be (i) to transfer to or from any proponent person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security of the Corporation, (ii) to increase or decrease the voting power of any proponent person with respect to shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation and/or (iii) to provide any proponent person, directly or indirectly, with the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from, or to otherwise benefit economically from, any increase or decrease in the value of any security of the Corporation;
7


(f) any proxy (other than a revocable proxy given in response to a public proxy solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Act), agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Eligible Shareholder or beneficial owner has or shares a right, directly or indirectly, to vote any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation;

(g) any rights to dividends or other distributions on the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation owned, directly or indirectly, beneficially by such Eligible Shareholder or beneficial owner that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation;

(4) Duty to Supplement Shareholder Notice; Deemed Satisfaction of Shareholder Notice. An Eligible Shareholder providing notice of a proposed nomination for election to the Board of Directors or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting (whether given pursuant to paragraph (A)(3) or paragraph (B) of this Section 2.03) shall update and supplement such notice from time to time to the extent necessary so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct (x) as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting and (y) as of the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, provided, that if the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is less than fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the information shall be supplemented and updated as of such later date. Any such update and supplement shall be delivered promptly in writing to the Corporation. The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.03 shall be deemed satisfied by an Eligible Shareholder with respect to business other than a nomination of a person for election to the Board of Directors if the Eligible Shareholder has notified the Corporation of their intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8 thereof, and such Eligible Shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation and to determine the independence of such director under the Exchange Act and rules and regulations thereunder and applicable stock exchange rules.

8


(B)    Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 2.04. At any time that the shareholders are not prohibited from filling vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board of Directors, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (1) as provided in the Sponsor Shareholders Agreements and the Certificate of Formation, (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or (3) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any Eligible Shareholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting on such matters and who (subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (C)(5) of this Section 2.03) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.03. The number of nominees an Eligible Shareholder may nominate for election at the special meeting shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such special meeting. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any Eligible Shareholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting if the Eligible Shareholder’s notice as required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 2.03 shall be delivered to the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which directors are to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of an Eligible Shareholder’s notice as described above.

(C)    General.

(1)    Rules of Procedure for Shareholder Meetings. Except as provided in paragraph (C)(5) of this Section 2.03, only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03 or the Sponsor Shareholders Agreements shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall, in addition to making any other determination that may be appropriate for the conduct of the meeting, have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of shareholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent
9


inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and on shareholder approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the Eligible Shareholder (or a qualified representative of the Eligible Shareholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.03, to be considered a qualified representative of the Eligible Shareholder, a person shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such shareholder or shall be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such shareholder to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders and such person shall produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of shareholders. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

(2)    Certain Definitions. Whenever used in these Bylaws:

(i) “public announcement” shall mean disclosure (a) in a press release released by the Corporation, provided, that such press release is released by the Corporation following its customary procedures, is reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service, or is generally available on internet news sites, or (b) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

(ii) “beneficial ownership” shall mean beneficial ownership within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum
14


entitled to take action with respect to the vote on that matter. Once a quorum is present to organize a meeting, it shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders or by the refusal of any shareholder present or represented by proxy at such meeting to vote.

SECTION 2.08 Proxies; Vote Required. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy in any manner provided by applicable law, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven (11) months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and otherwise meets the requirements set forth in the TBOC. A shareholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Unless required by the Certificate of Formation or applicable law, or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the shareholder voting, or by such shareholder’s proxy, if there be such a proxy. When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of applicable law, of the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, of any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, of the Certificate of Formation or of these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence and subject to the Certificate of Formation, all elections of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

SECTION 2.09 Chairman of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, if one is elected, or, in his or her absence or upon his or her disability, a person designated by the Board of Directors shall be the chairman of the meeting and, as such, preside at all meetings of the shareholders.

SECTION 2.12 Adjournment. At any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, if less than a quorum is present, the chairman of the meeting or shareholders holding a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the Corporation, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat on the matters in question, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to
15


time without notice (other than announcement at the meeting) until a quorum shall be present. Any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

SECTION 2.13 Remote Communication.

ARTICLE VI

STOCK

SECTION 6.01 Certificated and Uncertificated Shares. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of stock either in certificated or in uncertificated form in accordance with the TBOC and other applicable law. If shares are issued in certificated form, each shareholder shall be entitled upon written request to a stock certificate or certificates, representing and certifying the number and kind of shares held, signed by any two authorized officers of the Corporation, which shall include, without limitation, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, which signatures may be facsimile.

SECTION 6.02 Transfer of Shares. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives in the manner prescribed by law, the Certificate of Formation, these Bylaws and the Sponsor Shareholders Agreements, and, if such shares are certificated, upon surrender to the Corporation by delivery of certificates representing such shares to the person in charge of the stock and transfer books and ledgers. Certificates representing such shares, if any, shall be cancelled and new certificates, if the shares are to be certificated, shall thereupon be issued. Shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are not represented by a certificate shall be transferred in accordance with applicable law. A record shall be made of each transfer. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented for transfer or uncertificated shares are requested to be transferred, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so. The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or proper concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation.

SECTION 6.03 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. A new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares may be issued in the place of any certificate previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may, in its discretion, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond, in such sum as the Corporation may direct, in order to indemnify the Corporation against any claims that may be made against it in connection therewith. A new certificate or uncertificated shares of stock may be issued in the place of any certificate previously issued by the Corporation that has become mutilated upon the surrender by such owner of such mutilated certificate and, if required by the Corporation, the posting of a bond by such owner in an amount sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it in connection therewith.

SECTION 6.04 Registered Shareholders. Prior to the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock or notification to the Corporation of the transfer of uncertificated shares with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation may treat the registered owner of
23


such share or shares as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner of such share or shares. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

ARTICLE VII

NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE

SECTION 7.01 Notice. Whenever notice is required by statute, the Certificate of Formation, or these Bylaws to be given to any shareholder, director or committee member, such notice may be given (a) in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such shareholder, director or committee member at his, her or its address as it appears on the books or (in the case of a shareholder) the share transfer records of the Corporation, (b) by electronic communication to the extent permitted under the TBOC, and (c) by any other method permitted by law (including, without limitation, overnight courier service). Any notice required or permitted to be given by mail shall be deemed to be delivered and given at the time such notice is deposited in the United States mail as aforesaid. Any notice required or permitted to be given by overnight courier service shall be deemed to be delivered and given at the time delivered to such service with all charges prepaid and addressed as aforesaid. So long as the Corporation is subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, notice shall be given in the manner required by the rules under Regulation 14A. To the extent permissible by such rules, or if the Corporation is not subject to Regulation 14A, any notice to shareholders may be given by electronic transmission if such notice is consented to by such shareholder in the manner provided in the TBOC. An affidavit of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

SECTION 7.02 Waiver of Notice. A written waiver of any notice, signed by a shareholder or director, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance at any meeting (in person or by remote communication) shall constitute waiver of notice except attendance for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is a party, is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, as a witness or otherwise, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, including any and all appeals (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or an officer of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, fiduciary, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (each, a “Person”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted by such Person in any such capacity or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the TBOC permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), from and against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of an indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeals or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such indemnitee to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, that, except as provided in Section 8.03 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors; provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Section 8.01: (a) to indemnify an indemnitee under these Bylaws for any amounts paid in settlement of an action, suit or proceeding unless the Corporation consents to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; or (b) to indemnify an indemnitee for any disgorgement of profits made from the purchase or sale by indemnitee of securities of the Corporation under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

In addition, subject to Section 8.04, the Corporation shall not be liable under this Article VIII to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, without limitation, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that the indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this Article VIII or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
25


SECTION 8.02 Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.01, an indemnitee shall also have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) incurred by the indemnitee in appearing at, participating in or defending, or otherwise arising out of or related to, any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VIII pursuant to Section 8.03 (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that,

(A)    if the TBOC requires, or in the case of an advance made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made solely upon delivery to the Corporation of (i) a written undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay any amounts so advanced (without interest) to the extent that it is determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement of expenses under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 or otherwise and (ii) a written affirmation by such indemnitee of such indemnitee’s good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Section 8.01; and

(B)    with respect to any action suit or proceeding of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to indemnitee, upon the delivery to indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.

SECTION 8.03 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. In the event that (i) following a final adjudication, the Corporation determines in accordance with this Article VIII that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, (ii) following a final adjudication, the Corporation denies a request for indemnification, in whole or in part, or fails to respond or make a determination of entitlement to indemnification within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request for indemnification as described above, (iii) payment of a claim under Section 8.01 or 8.02 is not paid in full by the Corporation within (a) ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation following a final adjudication or (b) fifteen (15) days after a written claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation or (iv) any other person takes or threatens to take any action designed to deny, or to recover from, the indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the indemnitee under this Article VIII, the indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder
26


following a final adjudication (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the TBOC. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or the Corporation’s shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the TBOC, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or the Corporation’s shareholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

SECTION 8.04 Indemnification Not Exclusive.

(A)    The provisions for indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article VIII, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article VIII, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by applicable law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, the Certificate of Formation, other agreements or arrangements, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity.

(B)    Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the indemnitee as a director and/or officer of the Corporation at the request of the indemnitee-related entities (as defined below), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in any such capacity, the Corporation shall be fully and primarily responsible for payments to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of (i) the TBOC, (ii) the Certificate of Formation, (iii) this Article VIII, (iv) any other agreement between the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s Affiliates (as defined in the Certificate of Formation) and the indemnitee pursuant to which the indemnitee is indemnified, (v) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and/or (vi) the certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of
27


limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates irrespective of any right of recovery the indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation or any of its Affiliates be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the indemnitee-related entities and no right of advancement or recovery the indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates hereunder. In the event that any of the indemnitee-related entities shall make any payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, the indemnitee-related entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee against the Corporation, and the indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the indemnitee-related entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the indemnitee-related entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 8.04(B) and entitled to enforce this Section 8.04(B).

For purposes of this Section 8.04(B), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(1)    The term “indemnitee-related entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation (other than as a result of obligations under an insurance policy).

(2)    The term “jointly indemnifiable claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from both the Corporation and any indemnity-related entity pursuant to the TBOC, any agreement, and/or any certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Corporation or the indemnitee-related entities, as applicable.

SECTION 8.05 Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VIII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or
28


alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

SECTION 8.06 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the TBOC. Subject to Section 8.04, in the event of any payment by the Corporation under this Article VIII, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee with respect to any insurance policy or any other indemnity agreement covering the indemnitee. The indemnitee shall execute all papers required and take all reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

SECTION 8.07 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation, individually or as a group, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

SECTION 8.08 Savings Clause. If this Article VIII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VIII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

of the Company relating to the election of directors, and shall provide the highest level of support for the election of such MD Director Nominee or any SLP Director Nominee nominated pursuant to the SLP Shareholders Agreement as it provides to any other individual standing for election as a director of the Company.

Pursuant to Section 6.252 of the TBOC, each Shareholder hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, (I) to sign a written consent voting all of such Person’s Common Stock in favor of each MD Director Nominee and SLP Director Nominee nominated in accordance herewith or (II) at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders and at any other meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, such Person shall, in each case to the extent that its shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders of the Company is sought, (A) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (B) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of such Person’s Common Stock as of the applicable record date for each MD Director Nominee nominated in accordance herewith and each SLP Director Nominee nominated in accordance with the SLP Shareholders Agreement, unless and to the extent that the Company notifies the Shareholders that the third sentence of Section 3.1(c)(ii) of the SLP Shareholders Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) has been terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section is intended to create special or disproportionate voting rights or director proxies. Rather, this section reflects each Shareholder’s decision regarding how it will exercise its voting rights.
(iii)Director Replacements. In the event that any MD Director Nominee shall cease to serve as a director for any reason (other than the reduction in the right to nominate pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i)), the MD Shareholders shall have the right to nominate another MD Director Nominee to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom. Additionally, the MD Shareholders shall take all actions, including voting any Securities, that may be required in order to elect any such MD Director Nominee or any SLP Director Nominee nominated pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) of the SLP Shareholders Agreement so long as a MD Director Nominee is then serving on the Board.

16


Company. Further, the right to nominate directors pursuant to this section is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, affect the manner in which directors are elected, which shall continue to be governed by the Company’s Certificate of Formation and Bylaws.

Section 7.2    Indemnification of Shareholders.
(a)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will, and will cause each of the Specified Subsidiaries to, indemnify, exonerate and hold the Shareholders and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration or claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) such Shareholder’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of Securities or such Shareholder’s or its Affiliates’ control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective predecessors or successors (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any willful breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or other related Persons or (y) without limiting any other rights to indemnification, to the extent such control or the ability to control the Company or any of its Subsidiaries derives from such Shareholder’s or its Affiliates’ capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company will, and will cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 7.2, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company or any of the Specified Subsidiaries, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company and the Specified Subsidiaries, as applicable. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or
23


otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b)The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) applicable law, (ii) the Organizational Documents of the Company, (iii) the Director Indemnification Agreements, (iv) this Agreement, (v) any other agreement between the Company or any Specified Subsidiary and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, (vi) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Specified Subsidiary and/or (vii) the Organizational Documents of any Specified Subsidiary (clauses (i) through (vii) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from any Indemnitee-Related Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Company or any Specified Subsidiary be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company or any Specified Subsidiary under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by the Company and/or any Specified Subsidiary pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company and/or any Specified Subsidiary, as applicable, and (z) the Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(c)The Company and Shareholders agree that each of the Indemnitees and Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 7.2, entitled to enforce this Section 7.2 as though each such Indemnitee and Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement.

directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the MD Shareholders, and the Indemnitees shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Company or any Specified Subsidiary. If, at the time the Company or any of the Specified Subsidiaries receives from an Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of any action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding, and the Company or a Specified Subsidiary has such insurance in effect which would reasonably be expected to cover such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in such policy or policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or reasonably desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitees, all amounts payable as a result of such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy or policies.

securities are traded or listed, the Company agrees that, unless otherwise agreed to by the SLP Shareholders, the SLP Shareholders shall have the right to nominate at each meeting or action by written consent at which directors will be elected a number of individuals for election to the Board such that if such nominees are elected then the aggregate number of nominees of the SLP Shareholders serving on the Board will equal the product of the following (such individuals, the “SLP Director Nominees”): (x) the percentage of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of the Company beneficially owned by the SLP Shareholders and (y) the number of directors then on the Board and any vacancies thereon; provided, however, that, in the event the MD Shareholders and the SLP Shareholders in the aggregate beneficially own more than 70% of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of all outstanding voting equity securities of the Company, then the SLP Shareholders shall have the right to nominate such number of SLP Director Nominees equal to the product of (x) the percentage of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of the Company beneficially owned by the SLP Shareholders and (y) the number of directors then on the Board and any vacancies thereon excluding any director serving on the audit committee of the Board; provided, further, that the SLP Shareholders may at any time and from time to time waive the foregoing proviso in whole, but not in part. Any product obtained pursuant to the calculations in the immediately foregoing sentence shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SLP Shareholders (for so long as the SLP Shareholders collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of all outstanding voting equity securities of the Company) shall have the right to nominate at least one individual for election to the Board. The right to nominate directors pursuant to this section is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, affect the manner in which directors are elected, which shall continue to be governed by the Company’s Certificate of Formation and Bylaws.
(B)Limitations on Director Nominees. No SLP Director Nominee shall serve as a director of another company if such service on such other board would cause a violation of Section 8 of the U.S. Clayton Act, as amended, as a result of any business that the Company is engaged in as of the date hereof, and the Shareholders, as applicable, shall cause any such director to resign from such other directorships or as a director of the Company.
(ii)Support. For so long as the MD Shareholders have the right to nominate an MD Director Nominee for election pursuant to the MD Shareholders Agreement or the SLP Shareholders have the right to nominate a SLP Director Nominee for election pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i), in connection with each election of directors, each of the Company, and each of the Shareholders party to this Agreement, shall nominate such SLP Director Nominee for election as a director as part of the slate of directors that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of directors, and shall provide the highest level of support for the election of such SLP Director Nominees or MD Director Nominees nominated pursuant to the MD Shareholders Agreement as it provides to any other individual standing for election as a director of the Company. No Shareholder shall otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company or any of its shareholders to nominate or support any Person as a director who is not an MD Director Nominee, SLP Director Nominee or otherwise nominated by the then incumbent directors of the Company. Pursuant to Section 6.252 of the TBOC, each Shareholder hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, (I) to sign a written
11


consent voting all of such Person’s Common Stock in favor of each MD Director Nominee and SLP Director Nominee nominated in accordance herewith or (II) at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders and at any other meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, such Person shall, in each case to the extent that its shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders of the Company is sought, (A) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (B) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of such Person’s Common Stock as of the applicable record date for each MD Director Nominee nominated in accordance with the MD Shareholders Agreement and each SLP Director Nominee nominated in accordance herewith, unless and to the extent that the SLP Shareholders may otherwise notify the Company (which shall promptly notify the other Shareholders) that it has elected to terminate such arrangements as contemplated in this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section is intended to create special or disproportionate voting rights or director proxies. Rather, this section reflects each Shareholder’s decision regarding how it will exercise its voting rights.
(iii)Director Replacements. In the event that any SLP Director Nominee shall cease to serve as a director for any reason (other than the reduction in the right to nominate pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i)), the SLP Shareholders shall have the right to nominate another SLP Director Nominee to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom. Additionally, the SLP Shareholders shall take all actions, including voting any Securities, that may be required in order to elect any such SLP Director Nominee or any MD Director Nominee nominated pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) of the MD Shareholders Agreement so long as an SLP Director Nominee is then serving on the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the failure of the shareholders of the Company to elect any SLP Director Nominee shall not affect the right of the SLP Shareholders to nominate any SLP Director Nominee for election pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) in connection with any future election of directors of the Company. Further, the right to nominate directors pursuant to this section is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, affect the manner in which directors are elected, which shall continue to be governed by the Company’s Certificate of Formation and Bylaws.
Section 3.2.Specified Subsidiaries.
(a)Additional Specified Subsidiaries. Each of the Company and the Specified Subsidiaries shall cause any Subsidiary that (i) is not then a party to this Agreement and (ii) becomes, or otherwise satisfies the criteria of, a Specified Subsidiary, to promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) become party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a Specified Subsidiary Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A-2, and to agree to be bound and shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a “Specified Subsidiary.” No later than one (1) Business Day following such execution, the Company shall deliver to the SLP Shareholders a notice thereof, together with a copy of such Specified Subsidiary Joinder Agreement.
Section 3.3.Additional Management Provisions.
(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company, each Specified Subsidiary and each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the SLP Director
12


Nominees may share confidential, non-public information about the Company, any Specified Subsidiary and their respective Subsidiaries (including any materials received in their capacities as members of a Board or committee of the Company or any Specified Subsidiaries) with the SLP Shareholders and their respective Affiliates, limited partners, members and direct and indirect investors, in each case, on a confidential basis.
(b)Except (i) to the extent resulting from the rights granted under this Agreement, the MD Shareholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) as required by applicable law and/or (iii) for any authority granted to an individual as an officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries, no Shareholder (in its capacity as a Shareholder) shall have the authority to manage the business and affairs of the Company or its Subsidiaries or contract for or incur on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries any debts, liabilities or obligations, and no such action of a Shareholder will be binding on the Company or its Subsidiaries.
Article IV RESERVED
Article VADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 5.1.Further Assurances.

(a)Each of the Company, the Specified Subsidiaries, and each Shareholder (for itself and on behalf of the Company) hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect, any Covered Person may, and shall have no duty not to:
(i)invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, shareholder, equityholder or investor in any Person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

To the fullest extent permitted by Section 2.101(21) of the TBOC or any other applicable law in the event that the applicable entity is not incorporated, formed or organized as a corporation in the State of Texas, the Company and the Specified Subsidiaries hereby renounce any interest or expectancy of the Company or such Specified Subsidiary, as the case may be, in, or an interest or expectancy of the Company or such Specified Subsidiary, as the case may be, in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business or investments of any Covered Person as currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a Covered Person
13


and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim that such Covered Person is liable to the Company, any Specified Subsidiary or their respective shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of such Person’s participation in any such business or investment. The Company and the Specified Subsidiaries shall pay in advance any expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision. In the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person in his or her capacity as a partner, member, employee, officer or director of the SLP Shareholders and (y) the Company or any Specified Subsidiary, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company or any Specified Subsidiary. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 2.101(21) of the TBOC or any other applicable law in the event that the applicable entity is not incorporated, formed or organized as a corporation in the State of Texas, the Company and each Specified Subsidiary hereby renounce any interest or expectancy of the Company or such Specified Subsidiary in, or any interest or expectancy of the Company or such Specified Subsidiary as the case may be in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company, any Specified Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries and waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Company, any Specified Subsidiary or their respective shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other Person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another Person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company or such Specified Subsidiary; provided, however, in each such case, that any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company, a Specified Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall belong to the Company or such Specified Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Company and the Specified Subsidiaries shall pay in advance any expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision, except to the extent that a Covered Person is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Texas court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not appealed in the applicable time) to have breached this Section 5.2(a), in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Company or such Specified Subsidiary, as applicable.
(b)The Company, the Specified Subsidiaries and each of the Shareholders agree that the waivers, limitations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to any alleged claim or cause of action against any of the SLP Shareholders based upon the breach or nonperformance by such SLP Shareholder of this Agreement or any other agreement to which such Person is a party.

Section 5.3.Confidentiality.
(a)Each Shareholder agrees to keep confidential and not disclose to any third party any materials and/or information provided to it by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and, subject to Section 5.3(b), not to use any such information other than in connection with its investment in the Company (“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that the term “Confidential Information” does not include information that:
(i)is already in such recipient’s possession (provided that such information is not subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to any Person);
(ii)is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure, directly or indirectly, by such recipient or its Representatives;
(iii)is or becomes available to such recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any of the Shareholders or any of their respective Representatives (provided that such source is not known by such recipient to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to any Person); and/or
(iv)is or was independently developed by such recipient or its Representatives without the use of any Confidential Information.
(b)The Company acknowledges that the SLP Shareholders’ (including its affiliated investment funds’) review of the Confidential Information will inevitably enhance their knowledge and understanding of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ industries in a way that cannot be separated from such Shareholder’s or its affiliated private equity funds’ other knowledge and the Company agrees that Section 5.3(a) shall not restrict such Shareholder’s (including its affiliated investment funds’) use of such overall knowledge and understanding of such industries, including in connection with the purchase, sale, consideration of and decisions related to other investments and serving on the boards of such investments.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, any such Shareholder may disclose Confidential Information to:
(i)such Shareholder’s and its Affiliates’ Representatives who are subject to a customary confidentiality obligation to such Shareholder or its Affiliates;
(ii)any Person to which such Shareholder offers or may propose to offer to transfer any DTI Securities (provided that the prospective transferee agrees to be subject to a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company or Dell);

15


examiner or self-regulatory organization or pursuant to mandatory professional ethics rules (but only to the extent so required and after notifying the Company to the extent reasonably practicable and requesting confidential treatment);
(v)current or prospective limited partners of a Shareholder or its affiliated investment funds who are subject to confidentiality obligations to such Shareholder or its affiliated investment funds; and/or
(vi)other Person(s) with the Company’s prior written consent.
Section 5.4.Certain Tax Matters.
(a)Each of the SLP Shareholders and the Company acknowledge that, in connection with the Original Merger, (i) the contribution by the MD Shareholders of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Dell and cash to the Company in exchange for shares of Original Stock and (ii) the contribution by the other Shareholders of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Dell and cash to the Company in exchange for shares of Original Stock, in each case, at the Original Closing, taken together (the “Contribution”), were intended to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. In connection therewith, each of the Initial SLP Shareholders agreed, without the prior written consent of the MD Shareholders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that it shall be deemed to be unreasonable to withhold such consent if the MD Shareholders have been advised by their counsel that the Contribution fails to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code), (x) not to take any position inconsistent with the treatment of the Contribution as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or a change in law after the date of the Contribution and (y) not to take any action that could reasonably be expected to cause the Contribution to fail to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code (including any action that is inconsistent with the representations warranties or covenants made by such Shareholder in the Original Agreement).
(b)Each Shareholder that was required to deliver a tax representation letter to counsel to the MD Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.17 of the Interim Investors Agreement (a “Tax Representation Letter”), hereby represents and warrants to the MD Shareholders, as of the Original Closing Date, as follows: (i) such Shareholder has delivered the Tax Representation Letter in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.17 of the Interim Investors Agreement and (ii) the representations and warranties of such Shareholder set forth in such Tax Representation Letter were true, correct and complete as of the Original Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Tax Representation Letter delivered by the Company, in no event shall the Company be liable to any party (including the MD Shareholders) for the failure of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in its Tax Representation Letter to be true, correct or complete or for the Company’s failure to comply with any covenant contained in such Tax Representation Letter.
Section 5.5.Expense Reimbursement.

(ii)the payment or reimbursement of the SLP Shareholders’ or their Affiliates’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses for their “value creation” personnel and/or employees, but only to the extent that the Company has requested such personnel or employees to provide services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an engagement letter separately negotiated and agreed with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; and
(iii)payment or reimbursement of the costs and expenses (including internal costs, overhead, compensation and expenses of a similar nature, but excluding the costs and expenses paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.5(b)(ii)) for the SLP Shareholders or their Affiliates’ “value creation” personnel and/or employees, but only to the extent that the Company has requested such personnel or employees to provide services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an engagement letter separately negotiated and agreed with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; provided that all payments or reimbursement for such expenses will be made by wire transfer in same-day funds to the bank account(s) designated by such applicable Shareholder or its relevant Affiliate promptly upon or as soon as practicable following request for reimbursement.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein requires the SLP Shareholders or any of their Affiliates to provide services under subsection (ii) or (iii) of this section and any such services so provided shall be pursuant to the terms of a separately negotiated and agreed engagement letter with the Company.

Section 7.2.Indemnification of Shareholders.
(a)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will, and will cause each of the Specified Subsidiaries to, indemnify, exonerate and hold the Shareholders and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration or claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) such Shareholder’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of Securities or such Shareholder’s or its Affiliates’ control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective predecessors or successors (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any willful breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or other related Persons or (y) without limiting any other rights to indemnification, to the extent such control or the ability to control the Company or any of its Subsidiaries derives from such Shareholder’s or its Affiliates’ capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company will, and will cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 7.2, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company or any of the Specified Subsidiaries, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company and the Specified Subsidiaries, as applicable. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b)The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) applicable law, (ii) the Organizational Documents of the Company, (iii) the Director Indemnification Agreements, (iv) this Agreement, (v) any other agreement between the Company or any Specified Subsidiary and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, (vi) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Specified Subsidiary and/or (vii) the Organizational Documents of any Specified Subsidiary (clauses (i) through (vii) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from any Indemnitee-Related Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Company or any Specified Subsidiary be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company or any Specified Subsidiary under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly
21


Indemnifiable Claim, (x) the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by the Company and/or any Specified Subsidiary pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company and/or any Specified Subsidiary, as applicable, and (z) the Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(c)The Company and Shareholders agree that each of the Indemnitees and Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 7.2, entitled to enforce this Section 7.2 as though each such Indemnitee and Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement. The Company shall cause each of the Specified Subsidiaries to perform the terms and obligations of this Section 7.2 as though each such Specified Subsidiary were a party to this Agreement.
Section 7.3.Insurance. The Company shall, and shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain a policy or policies of insurance providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the SLP Shareholders, and the Indemnitees shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Company or any Specified Subsidiary. If, at the time the Company or any of the Specified Subsidiaries receives from an Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of any action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding, and the Company or a Specified Subsidiary has such insurance in effect which would reasonably be expected to cover such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in such policy or policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or reasonably desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitees, all amounts payable as a result of such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy or policies.

(c)Any failure by any party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
Section 8.10.Assignment of Rights By Shareholders.
(a)Subject to Section 8.10(b), no Shareholder may assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement except with the prior consent of the Company. Any purported assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement in derogation of this Section 8.10 shall be null and void.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the SLP Shareholders may assign or transfer all of their rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the SLP Shareholders transfer DTI Securities beneficially owned by the SLP Shareholders (and such transferee who is transferred such rights shall be deemed to be the SLP Shareholders for all purposes hereunder); provided that the SLP Shareholders may only assign or transfer all of their rights under or pursuant to ARTICLE III (and thereafter the SLP Shareholders shall retain no such rights) to any Person or group of Affiliated Persons to whom the SLP Shareholders transfer greater than a majority of the DTI Securities beneficially owned by the SLP Shareholders immediately following the EMC Closing (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event occurring after the EMC Closing) (and such transferee who is transferred such rights shall be deemed to be the SLP Shareholders for all purposes hereunder).

    Annex B - 1

Exhibit 10.4
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into, effective ______________, by and between Dell Technologies Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and _____________________ (“Indemnitee”).
Recitals
A.    Competent and experienced persons are reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification (or both) against claims against them arising out of their service and activities as directors.
B.    Uncertainties relating to the availability of adequate insurance for directors and officers have increased the difficulty for corporations to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors or officers.
C.    The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the continuation of present trends in litigation will make it more difficult to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors or officers of the Company and, in some cases, of its subsidiaries, that this situation is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act to assure its directors and officers that there will be increased certainty of adequate protection in the future.
D.    It is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in order to induce them to serve or continue to serve as directors or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries.
E.    Indemnitee’s willingness to continue to serve in his or her current capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s willingness to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, including the Texas Business Organizations Code, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended (the “TBOC”), and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.
F.    In recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s continued service, and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation or Bylaws (collectively, as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Constituent Documents”), any Change of Control (as defined in Section 1(a)) or any change in the composition of the Board), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the



indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined in Section 1(e)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement.
Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, Indemnitee’s agreement to continue to serve the Company in his or her current capacity and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

(b)    “Claim” shall mean (i) any threatened, pending or completed action or other proceeding (including any cross claim or counterclaim in any action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative or other and whether made pursuant to federal, state or other law (including securities laws); (ii) an appeal of an action or proceeding described by clause (i) and (iii) any inquiry or investigation (including discovery), whether made, instituted or conducted by the Company or any other party, including any federal, state or other governmental entity, that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in clause (i).

(e)    “Expenses” shall mean all costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending (including affirmative defenses and counterclaims), being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in (including on appeal), any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Claim.

4


officer, employee, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent (collectively, a “Representative”) of any Controlled Affiliate or other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not for profit, as to which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Representative;

In addition to any service at the actual request of the Company, for purposes of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving or to have served at the request of the Company as a Representative of another entity or enterprise if Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent of such entity or enterprise and (A) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such service was a Controlled Affiliate, (B) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such service was an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or a Controlled Affiliate or (C) the Company or a Controlled Affiliate directly or indirectly caused Indemnitee to be nominated, elected, appointed, designated, employed, engaged or selected to serve in such capacity.

(h)    “Independent Counsel’ shall mean a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of Texas corporation law and, as of the time of selection with respect to any Indemnifiable Claim, is not nor in the past five years has been retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements) or (ii) any other party to the Indemnifiable Claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of

5


interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
(i)    “Losses” means any and all Expenses, damages (including punitive, exemplary and the multiplied portion of any damages), losses, liabilities, judgments, payments, fines, penalties (whether civil, criminal or other), awards and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or incurred in connection with or with respect to any of the foregoing).
2.    Indemnification Obligation — Subject to the determination in Section 9 and the exclusions in Section 3, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas (including Chapter 8 of the TBOC) in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses.
3.    Exclusions — Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification payment in connection with any Claim involving Indemnitee:
(a)    for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess Losses beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or
(b)    for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or (iii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or
(c)    except as provided in Sections 5 and 24 of this Agreement, in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee, including any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees,

6


unless (i) the Board authorized the Claim prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.
4.    Advancement of Expenses — Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company prior to the final disposition of any Indemnifiable Claim of any and all Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee and as to which Indemnitee provides supporting documentation. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within 15 calendar days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall repay, without interest, any amounts actually advanced to Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or incurred by Indemnitee with respect to Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of (i) this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) to the extent that it ultimately is determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company and (ii) a written affirmation by Indemnitee of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under law. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. This Section 4 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 3.
5.    Indemnification for Additional Expenses — Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days of such request accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless in each case of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) that remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.

7


6.    Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness — Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of an Indemnifiable Claim, a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Claim to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.
7.    Partial Indemnity — If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Indemnifiable Loss but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
8.    Procedure for Notification — To obtain indemnification under this Agreement with respect to an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.
9.    Determination of Right to Indemnification —
(a)    To the extent that (i) Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, or (ii) the Designated Court determines that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in paragraph (b) below) shall be required.
(b)    To the extent that the provisions of Section 9(a) are inapplicable to an Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under

8


Texas law (including Chapter 8 of the TBOC) that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”) shall be made as follows:
(i)    If a Change of Control has not occurred, or if a Change of Control has occurred but Indemnitee has requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to this clause (i):
(A)    By a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board;
(B)    If such Disinterested Directors so direct, by a majority vote of a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum; or
(C)    If there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
(ii)    If a Change of Control has occurred and Indemnitee has not requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to clause (i) above, by Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
Indemnitee will cooperate with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination, including providing to such person or persons, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days of such request, accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person making such Standard of Conduct Determination.
(c)    The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 9(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If (i) the person or persons empowered or selected under Section 9(b) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall not have made a determination within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee requesting that a Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)(A) or (B) (the date of such

9


receipt being the “Notification Date”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, that is permitted under the provisions of Section 9(e) to make such determination and (ii) Indemnitee shall have fulfilled his or her cooperation covenants set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 9(b), then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person making such determination in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation or information relating thereto.
(d)    If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 9(a), (ii) no determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Texas law is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 9(b) or (c) to have satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Texas law that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days after the later of (x) the Notification Date with respect to the Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such Indemnifiable Losses resulted and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall have been satisfied, an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.
(e)    If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)(C), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii), Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1(h) and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the

10


Designated Court has determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 30 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Designated Court for resolution of any objection that has been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Designated Court or by such other person as the Designated Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 9(b).
10.    Presumption of Entitlement — In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, 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 any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by Indemnitee in the Designated Court. No determination by the Company (including by its Disinterested Directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
11.    No Other Presumption — For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.
12.    Non-Exclusivity — The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, the substantive laws of the State of Texas (including the TBOC), any other contract or otherwise (collectively,

11


“Other Indemnity Provisions”). No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Texas law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Constituent Documents 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. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Subject to Section 15, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
13.    Liability Insurance and Funding — For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of the Company and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Indemnifiable Claim, to the extent the Company maintains policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and officers of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies, in accordance with their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any other director or officer of the Company. Upon request of Indemnitee, the Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials and shall provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding sentences, no discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to the next shall be effective (a) without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (b) if at the time that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including a letter of credit, to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement.
14.    Subrogation — The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by an Indemnitee-Related Entity (as defined herein). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any

12


obligation of the Indemnitee-Related Entity to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) it shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Constituent Documents (or any agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Indemnitee-Related Entity, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Indemnitee-Related Entity from any and all claims against the Indemnitee-Related Entity for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Indemnitee-Related Entity on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Indemnitee-Related Entity shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The term “Indemnitee-Related Entity” means any company, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance policy of the Company) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect to which the Company may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.
15.    No Duplication of Payments — Subject to the provisions of Section 14 of this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents or Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(f)) with respect to such Indemnifiable Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
16.    Defense of Claims — The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided, however, that if Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel with respect to any particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not

13


be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim that Indemnitee is or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however, that Indemnitee may withhold consent to (i) any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee or (ii) any settlement which imposes a monetary payment obligation upon Indemnitee which is not being paid in full by the Company, insurance coverage or any other party for the benefit of Indemnitee.
17.    Successors and Binding Agreement —
(a)    The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Company” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company.

Notices shall be sent to the addresses or email addresses set forth below each party’s signature block on the signature page hereto, or to such other address or email address as a party may designate by notice given in accordance with this Section. Each party shall promptly notify the other Party of any change to its notice information.
20.    Governing Law — The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, including the TBOC, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the Texas Business Court in the Third Business Court Division of the State of Texas (the “Austin Business Court”) (or, if the Austin Business Court lacks jurisdiction or otherwise may not, or may decline to, hear the applicable cause of action, the Texas Business Court in the Eleventh Business Court Division of the State of Texas (the “Houston Business Court”) or, if the Houston Business Court lacks jurisdiction or otherwise may not, or may decline to, hear the applicable cause of action, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division (the “Federal Court”) or, if the Federal Court lacks jurisdiction or otherwise may not, or may decline to, hear the applicable cause of action, the state district court of Travis County, Texas) (the applicable court, the “Designated Court”) for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding that arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the Designated Court.
21.    Validity — If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to

15


make it enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative body shall decline to reform any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties thereto shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to replace the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal.
22.    Amendments; Waivers — No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company.

23.    Complete Agreement — No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.
24.    Legal Fees and Expenses — It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person 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, the Company irrevocably authorizes Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to Indemnitee’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and Indemnitee agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between Indemnitee and such counsel. Without respect to whether Indemnitee prevails, in whole or in part, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing.

(b)    It is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.

Exhibit 10.5
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into, effective ______________, by and between Dell Technologies Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and _____________________ (“Indemnitee”).
Recitals
A.    Competent and experienced persons are reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification (or both) against claims against them arising out of their service and activities as directors.
B.    Uncertainties relating to the availability of adequate insurance for directors and officers have increased the difficulty for corporations to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors or officers.
C.    The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the continuation of present trends in litigation will make it more difficult to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors or officers of the Company and, in some cases, of its subsidiaries, that this situation is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act to assure its directors and officers that there will be increased certainty of adequate protection in the future.
D.    It is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in order to induce them to serve or continue to serve as directors or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries.
E.    Indemnitee’s willingness to continue to serve in his or her current capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s willingness to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, including the Texas Business Organizations Code, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended (the “TBOC”), and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.
F.    In recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s continued service, and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation or Bylaws (collectively, as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Constituent Documents”), any Change of Control (as defined in Section 1(a)) or any change in the composition of the Board), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the



indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined in Section 1(e)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement.
Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, Indemnitee’s agreement to continue to serve the Company in his or her current capacity and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.    Certain Definitions — In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings indicated below when used in this Agreement:

(E)    any acquisition by any entity or its security holders pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (iii) below;

(b)    “Claim” shall mean (i) any threatened, pending or completed action or other proceeding (including any cross claim or counterclaim in any action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative or other and whether made pursuant to federal, state or other law (including securities laws); (ii) an appeal of an action or proceeding described by clause (i) and (iii) any inquiry or investigation (including discovery), whether made, instituted or conducted by the Company or any other party, including any federal, state or other governmental entity, that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in clause (i).

4


officer, employee, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent (collectively, a “Representative”) of any Controlled Affiliate or other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not for profit, as to which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Representative;
(ii)    Any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee with respect to any business, transaction, communication, filing, disclosure or other activity of the Company or any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of this Section 1(f); or

In addition to any service at the actual request of the Company, for purposes of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving or to have served at the request of the Company as a Representative of another entity or enterprise if Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent of such entity or enterprise and (A) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such service was a Controlled Affiliate, (B) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such service was an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or a Controlled Affiliate or (C) the Company or a Controlled Affiliate directly or indirectly caused Indemnitee to be nominated, elected, appointed, designated, employed, engaged or selected to serve in such capacity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of

5


interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
(i)    “Losses” means any and all Expenses, damages (including punitive, exemplary and the multiplied portion of any damages), losses, liabilities, judgments, payments, fines, penalties (whether civil, criminal or other), awards and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or incurred in connection with or with respect to any of the foregoing).
2.    Indemnification Obligation — Subject to the determination in Section 9 and the exclusions in Section 3, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas (including Chapter 8 of the TBOC) in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses.
3.    Exclusions — Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification payment in connection with any Claim involving Indemnitee:
(a)    for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess Losses beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or
(b)    for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or (iii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or
(c)    except as provided in Sections 5 and 24 of this Agreement, in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee, including any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees,

6


unless (i) the Board authorized the Claim prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.
4.    Advancement of Expenses — Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company prior to the final disposition of any Indemnifiable Claim of any and all Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee and as to which Indemnitee provides supporting documentation. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within 15 calendar days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall repay, without interest, any amounts actually advanced to Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or incurred by Indemnitee with respect to Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of (i) this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) to the extent that it ultimately is determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company and (ii) a written affirmation by Indemnitee of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under law. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. This Section 4 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 3.
5.    Indemnification for Additional Expenses — Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days of such request accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless in each case of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) that remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.

7


6.    Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness — Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of an Indemnifiable Claim, a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Claim to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.
7.    Partial Indemnity — If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Indemnifiable Loss but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
8.    Procedure for Notification — To obtain indemnification under this Agreement with respect to an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.
9.    Determination of Right to Indemnification —
(a)    To the extent that (i) Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, or (ii) the Designated Court determines that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in paragraph (b) below) shall be required.
(b)    To the extent that the provisions of Section 9(a) are inapplicable to an Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under

8


Texas law (including Chapter 8 of the TBOC) that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”) shall be made as follows:
(i)    If a Change of Control has not occurred, or if a Change of Control has occurred but Indemnitee has requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to this clause (i):
(A)    By a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board;
(B)    If such Disinterested Directors so direct, by a majority vote of a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum; or
(C)    If there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
(ii)    If a Change of Control has occurred and Indemnitee has not requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to clause (i) above, by Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
Indemnitee will cooperate with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination, including providing to such person or persons, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days of such request, accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person making such Standard of Conduct Determination.
(c)    The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 9(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If (i) the person or persons empowered or selected under Section 9(b) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall not have made a determination within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee requesting that a Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)(A) or (B) (the date of such

9


receipt being the “Notification Date”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, that is permitted under the provisions of Section 9(e) to make such determination and (ii) Indemnitee shall have fulfilled his or her cooperation covenants set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 9(b), then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person making such determination in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation or information relating thereto.
(d)    If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 9(a), (ii) no determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Texas law is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 9(b) or (c) to have satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Texas law that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days after the later of (x) the Notification Date with respect to the Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such Indemnifiable Losses resulted and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall have been satisfied, an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.
(e)    If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)(C), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii), Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1(h) and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the

Designated Court has determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 30 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Designated Court for resolution of any objection that has been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Designated Court or by such other person as the Designated Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 9(b).
10.    Presumption of Entitlement — In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, 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 any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by Indemnitee in the Designated Court. No determination by the Company (including by its Disinterested Directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
11.    No Other Presumption — For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.
12.    Non-Exclusivity — The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, the substantive laws of the State of Texas (including the TBOC), any other contract or otherwise (collectively,

11


“Other Indemnity Provisions”). No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Texas law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Constituent Documents 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. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Subject to Section 15, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
13.    Liability Insurance and Funding — For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of the Company and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Indemnifiable Claim, to the extent the Company maintains policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and officers of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies, in accordance with their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any other director or officer of the Company. Upon request of Indemnitee, the Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials and shall provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding sentences, no discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to the next shall be effective (a) without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (b) if at the time that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including a letter of credit, to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement.
14.    Subrogation — The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by an Indemnitee-Related Entity (as defined herein). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any

12


obligation of the Indemnitee-Related Entity to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) it shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Constituent Documents (or any agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Indemnitee-Related Entity, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Indemnitee-Related Entity from any and all claims against the Indemnitee-Related Entity for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Indemnitee-Related Entity on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Indemnitee-Related Entity shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The term “Indemnitee-Related Entity” means any company, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance policy of the Company) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect to which the Company may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.
15.    No Duplication of Payments — Subject to the provisions of Section 14 of this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents or Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(f)) with respect to such Indemnifiable Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
16.    Defense of Claims — The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided, however, that if Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel with respect to any particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not

13


be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim that Indemnitee is or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however, that Indemnitee may withhold consent to (i) any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee or (ii) any settlement which imposes a monetary payment obligation upon Indemnitee which is not being paid in full by the Company, insurance coverage or any other party for the benefit of Indemnitee.
17.    Successors and Binding Agreement —
(a)    The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Company” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company.
(b)    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors.
(c)    This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 17(a) and 17(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Indemnitee’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Indemnitee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 17(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

14


18.    Duration of Agreement — This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any proceeding then pending in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 24 of this Agreement relating thereto.
19.    Notices — All communications, including notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered by any of the following methods: (a) personal delivery, in which case it shall be deemed received on the date of delivery; (b) nationally recognized overnight courier service (such as FedEx or UPS), with all fees prepaid, in which case it shall be deemed received on the next Business Day following deposit with the courier; or (c) email transmission to the email address specified below (or such other email address as may be designated in accordance with this Section), in which case it shall be deemed received at the time of transmission, provided that (i) the sender does not receive an automated “bounce-back” or similar non-delivery notification and (ii) such email is sent during the recipient’s normal business hours, and if not, on the next Business Day. Notices shall be sent to the addresses or email addresses set forth below each party’s signature block on the signature page hereto, or to such other address or email address as a party may designate by notice given in accordance with this Section. Each party shall promptly notify the other Party of any change to its notice information.
20.    Governing Law — The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, including the TBOC, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the Texas Business Court in the Third Business Court Division of the State of Texas (the “Austin Business Court”) (or, if the Austin Business Court lacks jurisdiction or otherwise may not, or may decline to, hear the applicable cause of action, the Texas Business Court in the Eleventh Business Court Division of the State of Texas (the “Houston Business Court”) or, if the Houston Business Court lacks jurisdiction or otherwise may not, or may decline to, hear the applicable cause of action, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division (the “Federal Court”) or, if the Federal Court lacks jurisdiction or otherwise may not, or may decline to, hear the applicable cause of action, the state district court of Travis County, Texas) (the applicable court, the “Designated Court”) for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding that arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the Designated Court.
21.    Validity — If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to

15


make it enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative body shall decline to reform any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties thereto shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to replace the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal.
22.    Amendments; Waivers — No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
23.    Complete Agreement — No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.
24.    Legal Fees and Expenses — It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person 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, the Company irrevocably authorizes Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to Indemnitee’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and Indemnitee agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between Indemnitee and such counsel. Without respect to whether Indemnitee prevails, in whole or in part, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing.

16


25.    Certain Interpretive Matters —
(a)    No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in favor of, or against, either of the parties hereto by reason of the extent to which any such party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof or thereof.
(b)    It is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.
(c)    All references in this Agreement to Sections, paragraphs, clauses and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Sections, paragraphs, clauses and other subdivisions of this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the beginning of any Sections, subsections or other subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such Sections, subsections or other subdivisions and shall be disregarded in construing the language contained in such subdivisions. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The word “or” is not exclusive, and the word “including” (in its various forms) means “including without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise expressly requires.
26.    Counterparts — This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
In witness whereof, Indemnitee has executed, and the Company has caused its duly authorized representative to execute, this Agreement as of the date first above written.
