Dell Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to grant you
shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the restrictions described
below. The number of shares awarded to you (the “Shares”) is stated above. This
award is subject to the following terms and conditions.

Restrictions and Shares— The Shares are subject to the following restrictions
(referred to herein as the “Restrictions”):
Transfer Restrictions — You may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise
dispose of any Shares with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed as
described below.
Forfeiture Restrictions — If you cease to be a director for any reason other
than your death or Permanent Disability (as defined in the Plan described
below), you will forfeit any Shares with respect to which the Restrictions have
not lapsed as described below. Any Shares that are forfeited shall be returned
to the Company and cancelled, and all of your rights to those Shares will
terminate, without any payment of consideration by the Company.
Lapse of Restrictions — The Restrictions will lapse with respect to the Shares
in accordance with the following schedule:

      Number   Date
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   

Notwithstanding the above, if you cease to be a director by reason of your death
or Permanent Disability, the Restrictions will lapse immediately and
automatically with respect to all Shares upon such termination.
Ownership of Shares — The Company will issue the Shares in your name in the form
of an entry into a share memo account with the Company’s stock transfer agent.
The account will show that the Shares are subject to the Restrictions. Subject
to the terms and conditions described herein, you shall be entitled to all the
rights of beneficial ownership of the Shares while they are held in the share
memo account, including the right to vote the Shares and
to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Company’s Board of
Directors.
Until the Restrictions have lapsed or the Shares are forfeited and cancelled,
the Shares shall be held in the share memo account and you shall not be entitled
to receive certificates representing the Shares. After the Restrictions have
lapsed with respect to Shares, you (or, in the case of your death or Permanent
Disability, your legal representatives, legatees, distributees or guardian)
shall have the right to have such Shares certificated and transferred in
accordance with the transfer agent’s procedures generally applicable to all
stockholders.
In order to facilitate the transfer back to the Company of any Shares that are
forfeited and cancelled as described herein, you must sign and deliver the
attached stock power for the Shares to the Company’s Stock Option Administration
Department. Upon the forfeiture of Shares, such Shares will be transferred back
to the Company pursuant to such stock power and cancelled.
Agreement With Respect to Taxes — You must pay any taxes that are required to be
withheld by the Company. You may pay such amounts in cash or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of such amounts. You
agree that if you do not pay, or make arrangements for the payment of, such
amounts, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall have the
right to deduct such amounts from any payments of any kind otherwise due to you
and shall have the right to withhold from Shares for which Restrictions have
lapsed the number of Shares having an aggregate market value at that time equal
to the amount you owe.
Black-Out Periods— In order to minimize the potential for prohibited “insider”
trading, the Company may establish periods from time to time during which you
may not engage in transactions involving the Company’s stock (“Black-Out
Periods”). Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, Restrictions will not
lapse with respect to

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any Shares during an applicable Black-Out Period and the applicable period
during which Shares shall be subject to the Restrictions shall be extended until
the end of such Black-Out Period.

Incentive Plan and is governed by the terms of the Plan in addition to the terms
