     8.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. Except as provided herein, neither this Support Agreement nor any of the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Stockholder, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Support Agreement shall be binding upon Stockholder, Stockholder’s successors and assigns and, if Stockholder is an individual, Stockholder’s heirs, estate, executors and personal representatives. This Support Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Parent and Dell Inc. and their respective successors and assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2 or elsewhere in this Support Agreement, this Support Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject Securities are transferred.

     8.7 No Limitations on Remedies. Nothing in this Support Agreement, in the Merger Agreement or in any other agreement shall limit any of the monetary, equitable or other remedies that Parent or Dell Inc. may exercise in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Stockholder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Support Agreement, in the Merger Agreement or in any other agreement shall limit the right of Parent or Dell Inc. to seek and recover all damages it may sustain or incur as a direct or indirect result of, or otherwise in connection with, any breach of this Support Agreement by Stockholder.

     8.8 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Support Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other agreement or arrangement between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other.

     8.9 Actions of Representatives. Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that any action inconsistent with any provision of this Support Agreement that is taken by any Representative, partner, member or Affiliate of Stockholder shall be deemed to constitute a breach of such provision by Stockholder.

     8.10 Specific Performance. Stockholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Support Agreement or the Proxy were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, Stockholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Support Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent shall be entitled, without proof of actual damages (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages), to seek and obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Stockholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.10. and Stockholder irrevocably waives any right he or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

     8.11 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Parent under this Support Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Parent under this Support Agreement, and the obligations and liabilities of Stockholder under this Support Agreement, are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under common law requirements and under all applicable Legal Requirements.

     8.12 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     (a) This Support Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

Service of any process, summons, notice or document to either party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 8.3 shall be effective service of process for any such action.

     (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR THE PROXY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR RELATING TO THE PROXY.

This Support Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Support Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms of this Support Agreement.

     8.14 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Support Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Support Agreement is brought against Stockholder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

     8.15 Waiver. No failure or the part of Parent to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Support Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Support Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent arising out of this Support Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent under this Support Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

     The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.

     This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).

     Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Stockholder agrees to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
