DELL INC.
Stock Unit Agreement

Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to grant you units representing the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions described below. The number of units that are awarded to you (the “Units”) is stated in step one of the Stock Plan Administrator’s online grant acceptance process (“Grant Summary”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one Share. As a material inducement to the Company to grant you this award, you agree to the following terms and conditions. You agree that you are not otherwise entitled to this award, that the Company is providing you this award in consideration for your promises and agreements below, and that the Company would not grant you this award absent those promises and agreements. This Stock Unit Agreement, the Grant Summary, and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) set forth the terms of your Units identified in your Grant Summary.

1. Vesting — The Company will issue you one Share for each vested Unit to be delivered on the applicable vesting date or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. The Units will vest, and you will receive Shares, in accordance with the schedule in your Grant Summary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing schedule, the Company, with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer and upon written notice to you, may defer the vesting with respect to all or any portion of the Units to any date that is not more than ten years after the Date of Grant stated in your Grant Summary.

2. Expiration — If your Employment (as defined below) terminates for any reason other than your death or “Permanent Disability” (as defined in the Plan described below), any Units that have not vested as described above will expire at that time.

If your Employment is terminated by reason of your death or Permanent Disability, all Units will vest immediately and automatically upon such termination of Employment.

As used herein, the term “Employment” means your regular full-time or part-time employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the term “Employer” means the Company (if you are employed by the Company) or the Subsidiary of the Company that employs you.

3. Rights as a Stockholder — You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares that may be received by you pursuant to this Agreement until those Shares are issued and registered in your name on the books of the Company’s transfer agent. You will have no rights to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares that may be received by you pursuant to this Agreement. Units granted to you will be satisfied wholly through the issuance and delivery of Shares.

4. Agreement With Respect to Taxes — You must pay any taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company or your Employer. You may pay such amounts in cash or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company or your Employer for the payment of such amounts. You agree the Company or your Employer, at its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall have the right to demand that you pay such amounts in cash, deduct such amounts from any payments of any kind otherwise due to you, or withhold from Shares to which you would otherwise be entitled the number of Shares having an aggregate market value at that time equal to the amount you owe. In the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your tax obligations will not be satisfied under the methods described in this paragraph, you authorize the Company or the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator to sell a number of Shares that are issued under the Units, which the Company determines as having at least the market value sufficient to meet the tax withholding obligations plus additional Shares to account for rounding and market fluctuations and pay such tax withholding to the Company. The shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other participants and all participants receive an average price.

You agree that, subject to compliance with applicable law, the Company and/or your Employer may recover from you taxes which may be payable by the Company and/or your Employer in any jurisdiction in relation to this award. You agree that the Company and/or your Employer shall be entitled to use whatever method they may deem appropriate to recover such taxes including the sale of any Shares, paying you a net amount of shares (or cash), recovering the taxes via payroll and direct invoicing. You further agree that the Company and/or your Employer may, as it reasonably considers necessary, amend or vary this agreement to facilitate such recovery of taxes.

5. Leaves of Absence — If you take a leave of absence from active Employment that has been approved by the Company or your Employer or is one to which you are legally entitled regardless of such approval, the following provisions will apply:

A. Vesting During Leave — Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, no Units will vest during a leave of absence other than an approved employee medical, FMLA or military leave. Notwithstanding the preceding, vesting shall not be deferred for any approved leave of absence of less than 30 days. The vesting that would have otherwise occurred during a leave of absence other than an approved employee medical, FMLA or military leave will be deferred by the number of days you are on a leave of absence. For example, if your Units are scheduled to vest on August 1, 2007 through August 1, 2011, and you are on a 40 day leave of absence, the dates on which the vesting occurs will be deferred to September 10, 2007 through September 10, 2011.

B. Effect of Termination During Leave — If your Employment is terminated during the leave of absence, the Units will expire or vest in accordance with the terms stated in Paragraph 2 (Expiration) above.

6. Return of Share Value — By accepting this award, you agree that if the Company determines that you engaged in “Conduct Detrimental to the Company” (as defined below) during your Employment or during the one-year period following the termination of your Employment, you shall be required, upon demand, to return to the Company, in the form of a cash payment, certain share value (“Returnable Share Value”). For purposes of this provision, “Returnable Share Value” means a cash amount equal to the gross value of the Shares that were issued to you pursuant to this Agreement, determined as of the date such Shares were issued to you and using the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of Dell stock on that date. You understand and agree that the repayment of the Returnable Share Value is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to your Conduct Detrimental to the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, you will be considered to have engaged in “Conduct Detrimental to the Company” if:

(1) you engage in serious misconduct (whether or not such serious misconduct is discovered by the Company prior to the termination of your Employment);

(2) you breach your obligations to the Company with respect to confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets or breach any agreement between you and Dell relating to confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets;

(3) you compete with the Company (as described below); or

(4) you solicit the Company’s employees (as described below).

For purposes of this provision, you shall be deemed to “compete” with the Company if you, directly or indirectly:

•		Are a principal, owner, officer, director, shareholder or other equity owner (other than a holder of less than 5% of the outstanding shares or other equity interests of a publicly traded company) of a Direct Competitor (as defined below);
•		Are a partner or joint venture in any business or other enterprise or undertaking with a Direct Competitor; or
•		Serve or perform work (including consulting or advisory services) for a Direct Competitor that is similar in a material way to the work you performed for the Company in the twelve months preceding the termination of your Employment.

You understand and agree that this provision does not prohibit you from competing with the Company but only requires repayment of Returnable Share Value in the event of such competition.

For purposes of this provision, a “Company’s employee” means any person employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and “solicit the Company’s employees” means that you communicate in any way with any other person regarding (a) a Company Employee leaving the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (b) a Company Employee seeking employments with any other employer. This provision does not apply to those communications that are within the scope of your Employment that are taken on behalf of your Employer.

The term “Direct Competitor” means any entity, or other business concern that offers or plans to offer products or services that are materially competitive with any of the products or services being manufactured, offered, marketed, or are actively developed by Dell as of the date your employment with Dell ends. By way of illustration, and not by limitation, at the time of execution of this Agreement, the following companies are currently Direct Competitors: Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, IBM, Gateway, Apple, Acer, CDW, EDS, EMC, Software House International, Insight (Software Spectrum), Softchoice, and Digital River. You understand and agree that the foregoing list of Direct Competitors represents a current list of Dell Direct Competitors as of the date of execution of this Agreement and that other entities may become Direct Competitors in the future.

7. Transferability — The Units are not transferable except as described in this Paragraph, and the provisions of this Paragraph shall apply notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary.

     (a) The Units are transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     (b) The Units may be transferred to (1) one or more “Family Members” (as defined below), (2) a trust in which you or Family Members own more than 50% of the beneficial interests, (3) a foundation in which you or Family Members control the management of assets or (4) any other entity in which you or Family Members own more than 50% of the voting interests; provided, however, that in any case, (A) the transfer is by way of gift or is otherwise a donative transfer or, in the case of a transfer to an entity, the transfer is made in exchange for an interest in the entity and (B) the transferee expressly acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement will continue to apply to the Units in the hands of the transferee. For purpose of this provision, the term “Family Member” shall mean your spouse, former spouse, child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships) or any person sharing your household (other than a tenant or employee). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subparagraph (b), any transfer described herein must be made in compliance with such procedural rules and regulations (including those pertaining to the timing of transfers) as are established from time to time by the Committee.

     (c) The Units may be transferred under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights.

8. Trading Restrictions —The Company may establish periods from time to time during which your ability to engage in transactions involving the Company’s stock is subject to specified restrictions (“Restricted Periods”). Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, Units will not vest, and Shares will not be issued, during an applicable Restricted Period and the applicable period during which Units vest shall be extended until the end of such Restricted Period, unless such vesting is specifically permitted by the Company (in its sole discretion). You may be subject to a Restricted Period for any reason that the Company determines appropriate, including Restricted Periods generally applicable to employees or groups of employees or Restricted Periods applicable to you during an investigation of allegations of misconduct or Conduct Detrimental to the Company by you.
