BACKGROUND AND SCOPE

Dell Inc. (“Dell”) previously adopted the Dell Inc.

The Plan shall, at all times, be interpreted and administered in accordance with ERISA and any other pertinent provisions of federal law. Except as specified in the Plan, no employee of the Company or any other person shall have any right to severance benefits under the Plan or otherwise as a result of their performance of services for the Company or any of its related or affiliated entities. These Severance Benefits may be modified or eliminated at any time for any reason.

(i) Any salary or other payments that the Eligible Executive receives (or may be entitled to receive) on termination of employment pursuant to any rights or entitlements that the Eligible Executive possesses or asserts pursuant to a written or oral employment agreement with the Company or any successor thereto, regardless of whether the term of such agreement is expired or unexpired as of the Eligible Executive’s Separation Date;

(ii) Any amounts that an Eligible Executive owes to the Company;

(iii) Any severance pay or other wage replacement benefits payable or previously paid to the Eligible Executive or his beneficiary from this Plan or any other plan or program maintained by the Company or any of its affiliates (other than any benefits payable from any pension, profit sharing, or stock bonus plan);

(v) The Company shall have the authority to withhold or to cause to have withheld applicable taxes from any payments under or in accordance with the Plan to the extent required by law.

4.2 Forfeitures. An Eligible Executive shall forfeit any and all rights to Severance Benefits under the Plan, and shall be obligated to repay any such benefits previously paid under the Plan, if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that the Eligible Executive:

(i) does not timely submit, and the Administrator does not actually receive, a valid and fully enforceable Separation Agreement and Release from the Eligible Executive;

By accepting any benefits under the Plan’s terms, an Eligible Executive shall be deemed to have agreed to adhere to all terms of the Plan. The Eligible Executive also shall be deemed to agree that the Eligible Executive will repay any benefits that the Administrator determines he or she has received from the Plan in excess of the amount provided under the Plan. Additionally, the Eligible Executive must repay all Severance Benefits that the Eligible Executive is paid or receives if the Eligible Executive asserts that he or she is or may be entitled to receive compensation or other payments on termination of employment pursuant to any rights or entitlements that he or she possesses or asserts pursuant to a written or oral employment agreement with the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or any successor of either the Company or its affiliates, regardless of whether the term of such agreement is expired or unexpired as of his or her Separation Date.

ARTICLE V

REQUIREMENT FOR RECEIPT OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS

In order to receive payment of any Severance Benefits under the Plan, the Eligible Executive must comply with all requirements of this ARTICLE V.

5.1 Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. In order for an Eligible Executive to receive his or her Severance Benefit, the Eligible Executive must first execute the Separation Agreement and Release within the particular time period specified in the Separation Agreement and Release, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days following the Eligible Executive’s receipt of the Separation Agreement and Release or such earlier date as required by the Separation Agreement and Release (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). The Separation Agreement and Release may provide for an additional revocation period of at least seven (7) days (the “Revocation Period”). The executed Separation Agreement and Release must actually be received by the Administrator, or its duly authorized representative, at the address specified by the Administrator, within seven (7) days after the Release Deadline to be considered timely. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Eligible Executive does not properly execute the Separation Agreement and Release by the applicable deadline, or, in the case of a Separation Agreement and Release that includes a Revocation Period, revokes an executed Separation Agreement and Release, the Eligible Executive will receive only those benefits required by applicable law. If the Eligible Executive’s Separation Date and the Release Deadline fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Eligible Executive that are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A shall be made in the later taxable year.

5.2 Right to Recovery. The Company shall have the right to recover any payment made to an Eligible Executive in excess of the amount to which the Eligible Executive is entitled to under the terms of the Plan. Such recovery may be from the Eligible Executive, the Beneficiary, or any insurer or other organization or entity thereby enriched. In the event such repayment is not made by the Eligible Executive, such repayment shall be made either by (i) reducing or suspending any future payments hereunder to the Eligible Executive or (ii) requiring an assignment of a portion of the Eligible Executive’s earnings, until the amount of such excess payments are fully recovered. The Company shall also have the right to recover any payment made to an Eligible Executive under

Page 8 of 19

the Plan if he or she later asserts to be entitled to compensation or other payments on termination of employment pursuant to any rights or entitlements that he or she possesses or asserts pursuant to a written or oral employment agreement with the Company or any successor thereto, regardless of whether the term of such agreement is expired or unexpired as of his or her Separation Date.

5.3 Payment of Severance Benefits. Severance Benefits provided under the Plan shall be paid to the Eligible Executive within the timeframe provided for in Section 3.2, but no earlier than the day following the expiration of any Revocation Period outlined in the Separation Agreement and Release, if applicable, assuming such Separation Agreement and Release has not been revoked. If the Eligible Executive is, in the opinion of the Administrator, not competent to affect a valid release for payment of any benefit due him or her under the Plan and if no request for payment has been received by the Administrator from a duly appointed guardian or other legally appointed representative of the Eligible Executive, the Company may make direct payment to the individual or institution appearing to the Administrator to have assumed custody or the principal support of the Eligible Executive. If the Eligible Executive dies before receipt of his or her Severance Benefits to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, such benefits shall be paid to the Eligible Executive’s Beneficiary, if not otherwise required by law.

5.4 Acceptance of Severance Benefit. By accepting any Severance Benefits from the Plan, the Eligible Executive shall be deemed to have agreed to adhere to all terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

CLAIMS AND APPEAL PROCEDURES

6.1 Claims Procedures. Severance Benefits will be automatically paid to an Eligible Executive who qualifies for such benefits under the Plan and who signs and does not revoke the Separation Agreement and Release. An Eligible Executive who believes he or she is entitled to Severance Benefits under this Plan and has not been provided such benefits must file a written claim for such benefits with the Administrator. The Administrator shall render a written decision concerning the claim not later than ninety (90) days after its receipt, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the claim. Written notice of the extension will be furnished to the Eligible Executive prior to the expiration of the initial ninety (90)-day period and will indicate (i) the special circumstances requiring an extension of time for processing the claim and (ii) the date the Administrator expects to render its decision. For purposes of this Section 6.1, any payment of Severance Benefits under this Plan shall be treated as the issuance of a written decision by the Administrator to approve the claim for benefits.

If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, such decision shall include (i) the specific reasons for the denial; (ii) a reference to the Plan provision(s) constituting the basis of the denial; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Eligible Executive to perfect his or her claim; (iv) an explanation as to why such additional material or information is necessary; and (v) a description of how the claim review procedure is administered. If the notice of denial is not furnished in accordance with the above procedure, the claim shall be deemed denied, and the Eligible Executive is then permitted to appeal the decision.

Page 9 of 19

6.2 Appeal Procedure. If the Eligible Executive’s claim is denied, in whole or in part, he or she then has sixty (60) days to appeal the decision. An appeal must be submitted in writing to the Administrator. The Eligible Executive may also submit a written request to review copies of the pertinent Plan documents in connection with his or her appeal. The Administrator will review the appeal and determine if a meeting with the Eligible Executive is necessary to reach a decision. If the Administrator determines a meeting is necessary, the Eligible Executive must submit a written “statement of position” containing all pertinent details of the appeal and the supporting reasons, as well as any questions the Eligible Executive may have regarding the appeal. The statement of position must be received by the Administrator at least fourteen (14) days before the scheduled meeting. If the statement of position is not received in a timely manner, the Administrator may cancel the meeting. No action may be brought for Severance Benefits provided under the Plan or any amendment or modification thereof, or to enforce any right thereunder, until a claim has been submitted and the appeal rights under the Plan have been exhausted.

ARTICLE VII

The Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with ERISA and any other applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise mandated by federal law, exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes and actions arising under, or directly or indirectly relating to, the Plan shall be in Fulton County, Georgia.

8.4 Funding and Source of Severance Benefits Payments. Any Severance Benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Eligible Executive’s claim of any right to payment of any benefits other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which such Eligible Executive may be entitled.

Page 11 of 19

8.5 Successor Employer. In the event of a merger, consolidation, dissolution, or reorganization of the Company or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation, partnership, or association, a provision may be made by such successor corporation, partnership, or association, at its election, for the continuation of the Plan created hereunder by such successor entity. Such successor shall, upon its election to continue the Plan, be substituted in place of the Company by an instrument duly authorizing such substitution.

8.6 Severability. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its validity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included herein.

Any legal action must commence within twelve (12) calendar months immediately following the date of such Administrator’s decision made pursuant to Section 6.2 above.

8.11 Non-Duplication of Benefit. No provisions in this Plan shall be deemed to duplicate any compensation or benefits provided under any agreement, plan, or program covering the Eligible Executive (including, without limitation, the Dell Plan) with respect to the same Qualifying Termination, and any duplicative amount payable under any such agreement, plan, or program shall be applied as an offset to reduce the amounts otherwise payable hereunder.

8.12 Information Requested. The Eligible Executive or other persons shall provide the Company, the Administrator, or their authorized representatives with such information and evidence, and shall sign such documents, as may reasonably be requested from time to time for the purpose of administration of the Plan.

Page 12 of 19

8.13 Mistaken Payments. Any amounts paid to an Eligible Executive or other person in excess of the amount to which he or she is entitled hereunder shall be repaid by the Eligible Executive or other person promptly following the sooner of receipt by the Eligible Executive or other person of a notice of such excess payments or when such person has knowledge of the excess payments. In the event such repayment is not made by the Eligible Executive or other person, such repayment shall be made, at the discretion of the Administrator, either by reducing or suspending future payments hereunder to the Eligible Executive or other person or by requiring an assignment of a portion of the Eligible Executive or other person’s earnings, until the amount of such excess payments are recovered by the Administrator.

8.14 Integration with WARN Act. To the extent that any federal, state, or local law, including, without limitation, any so-called “plant closing” laws, requires the Company to give advanced notice or make payment of any kind to an Eligible Executive because of his or her involuntary termination due to a layoff, reduction in force, plant or facility closing, sale of business, change of control, or any other similar event or reason, the Severance Benefits provided under this Plan may either be reduced or eliminated. The benefits provided under this Plan are intended to satisfy any and all statutory obligations that may arise out of any Eligible Executive’s involuntary termination for any of the foregoing reasons, and the Administrator shall construe and implement the terms of this Plan in its sole discretion. Included in the scope of the foregoing, (i) if an Eligible Executive receives notice from the Company pursuant to the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and remains employed during the WARN notice period, then the Severance Benefits payable to the Eligible Executive may be reduced by the pay and benefits received by such Eligible Executive during the WARN notice period, and (ii) if an Eligible Executive receives notice from the Company pursuant to the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and does not remain employed during some or all of the WARN notice period, then the Severance Benefits payable to the Eligible Executive shall be reduced any amount the Company is required to pay to such Eligible Executive as compensation for its failure to provide timely notice under the WARN Act. An Eligible Executive shall not be required to sign a Separation Agreement and Release solely with respect to the portion of any payment under this Plan which must be paid pursuant to the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act or any other comparable law.

8.15 Section 409A Limitation. Each payment of Severance Benefits, including any outplacement benefits or continued medical benefits, shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of the Short-Term Deferral rules under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(F), the exemption for involuntary terminations under separation pay plans under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), the exemption for medical expense reimbursements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B), and the exemption for in-kind benefits under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(C). No amount shall be payable under this Plan unless such amount (i) is paid on or before March 15^th day of the calendar year immediately following the applicable Separation Date or (ii) is paid on or before the last day of the second calendar year following the year during which an Eligible Executive’s Separation Date occurred and is includable in a group of payments which does not exceed the lesser of two times the Eligible Executive’s annual Base Salary in the year prior to the year during which the Separation Date occurred or two times the limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) as then in effect.
