On October 6, 2025, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dell Technologies Inc. (the "Company"), Dell International L.L.C. and EMC Corporation (together, the "Issuers"), completed a public offering (the "Offering") of (i) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.150% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"), (ii) $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), (iii) $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and (iv) $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.100% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes" and, together with the 2029 Notes, the 2031 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes were sold pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-269159).

The Notes were issued pursuant to a Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023 (the "Base Indenture"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"), as supplemented, (i) with respect to the 2029 Notes, by the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the "2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of October 6, 2025, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, (ii) with respect to the 2031 Notes, by the 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the "2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of October 6, 2025, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, (iii) with respect to the 2032 Notes, by the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the "2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of October 6, 2025, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee and (iv) with respect to the 2036 Notes, by the 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (the "2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the "Indenture"), dated as of October 6, 2025, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers' existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers' existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Denali Intermediate Inc. ("Denali Intermediate") and Dell Inc. ("Dell" and, together with Denali Intermediate and the Company, the "Guarantors"). Such note guarantees rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Guarantors and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors. The Notes and the note guarantees are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any existing and future subsidiaries of the Company that do not guarantee the Notes (other than the Issuers).

Interest on each series of the Notes began accruing on October 6, 2025, the issue date of the Notes. Interest on the 2029 Notes accrues at a rate of 4.150% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2026. Interest on the 2031 Notes accrues at a rate of 4.500% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2026. Interest on the 2032 Notes accrues at a rate of 4.750% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 6 and October 6 of each year, commencing on April 6, 2026. Interest on the 2036 Notes accrues at a rate of 5.100% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2026. The 2029 Notes mature on February 15, 2029, the 2031 Notes mature on February 15, 2031, the 2032 Notes mature on October 6, 2032 and the 2036 Notes mature on February 15, 2036.

Prior to (i) January 15, 2029 (the date one month prior to the maturity of the 2029 Notes), in the case of the 2029 Notes, (ii) January 15, 2031 (the date one month prior to the maturity of the 2031 Notes), in the case of the 2031 Notes, (iii) August 6, 2032 (the date two months prior to the maturity of the 2032 Notes), in the case of the 2032 Notes and (iv) November 15, 2035 (the date three months prior to the maturity of the 2036 Notes), in the case of the 2036 Notes, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the Notes of such series at a "make-whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On or after (i) January 15, 2029, in the case of the 2029 Notes, (ii) January 15, 2031, in the case of the 2031 Notes, (iii) August 6, 2032, in the case of the 2032 Notes and (iv) November 15, 2035, in the case of the 2036 Notes, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the Notes of such series at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

------

If a change of control triggering event occurs, the holders of the Notes may require the Issuers to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The Indenture contains covenants that impose limitations on, among other things, creating liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidating, merging or selling or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all assets; and entering into sale and leaseback transactions. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and covenants for an issuer of investment grade debt securities.

## Exhibit 4.1

**Exhibit 4.1** 

**2029 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1** 

This 2029 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 (this "<u>2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture</u>"), is made and entered into among Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability corporation ("<u>Dell International</u>"), EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("<u>EMC</u>" and, together with Dell International, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture referred to below.

**RECITALS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Section 9.01(15) of the Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023, among the Issuers, the guarantors named therein (the "<u>Guarantors</u>") and the Trustee (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>" and, together with this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>") provides that, without the consent of Holders, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Issuers desire to issue $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.150% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "<u>2029</u> <u>Notes</u>"), and in connection therewith, the Issuers have duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the 2029 Notes as required by the Base Indenture. This 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall supplement the Base Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2029 Notes issued hereunder (and not to any other series of Securities).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the 2029 Notes:

Section 1. <u>2029 Notes</u>. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the terms and provisions of the 2029 Notes are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The title of the 2029 Notes shall be "4.150% Senior Notes due 2029."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The 2029 Notes shall be initially limited to $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Issuers may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2029 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue. The 2029 Notes issued originally hereunder (the "<u>Initial 2029 Notes</u>") and any Additional Securities of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single class for purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; <u>provided</u> that if any such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Initial 2029 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Securities will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial 2029 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The price at which the 2029 Notes shall be issued to the public is 99.961%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuers' actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Redemption Price or to verify the calculation of the Redemption Price.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Stated Maturity for the 2029 Notes shall be on February 15, 2029. The 2029 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to the Stated Maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The rate at which the 2029 Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.150% per annum, as set forth in Section 1 of the form of 2029 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the 2029 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 15, 2026. Each February 15 and August 15 in each year, commencing February 15, 2026, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the 2029 Notes. The February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, even if such 2029 Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the 2029 Notes to the extent lawful, and the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2029 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the "<u>Depositary</u>") or its nominee with respect to the 2029 Notes shall be made by the Issuers through the Trustee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The 2029 Notes shall be redeemable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof) the terms and provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the 2029 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The 2029 Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Securities deposited with the Depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary. The 2029 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Trustee for the 2029 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Article 10 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2029 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The covenants set forth in <u>Sections 4</u>, <u>5</u> and <u>6</u> hereof shall apply to the 2029 Notes. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under such covenants set forth in <u>Sections 4</u>, <u>5</u> and <u>6</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The minimum authorized denomination for 2029 Notes shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) To the extent not set forth otherwise herein, the provisions of Article 2 of the Base Indenture are applicable.

------

Section 2. <u>Optional Redemption of the 2029 Notes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Prior to January 15, 2029 (the "<u>Par Call Date</u>"), the 2029 Notes will be redeemable, at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at the Issuers' option, at the Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (assuming the 2029 Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 10 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date;

<u>plus</u>, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2029 Notes to be redeemed that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuers may redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.

Any redemption pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

Section 3. <u>Definitions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) "<u>Adjusted Current Liabilities</u>" has the meaning set forth for such term in the definition of "Consolidated Net Tangible Assets".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) "<u>Aggregate Debt</u>" means, as of the date of determination, the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries secured by Liens (other than Permitted Liens) that is not permitted by <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof and (2) the Attributable Indebtedness of the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>4(b)</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) "<u>Alternate Offer</u>" has the meaning set forth for such term in <u>Section</u> <u>6(a)</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) "<u>Attributable Indebtedness</u>" when used in connection with a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction relating to a Principal Property means, at the time of determination, the lesser of (a) the fair market value of property or assets involved in the Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, (b) the present value of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof (including any renewal term or period for which such lease has been extended), computed by discounting from the respective due dates to such date such total net amount of rent at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of such lease or, if not practicable to determine such rate, the rate per annum equal to

------

the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the 2029 Notes outstanding pursuant to the Indenture compounded semi-annually, or (c) if the obligation with respect to the Sale and Lease-Back Transaction constitutes a Financing Lease Obligation, the amount equal to the capitalized amount of such obligation determined in accordance with GAAP and included in the financial statements of the lessee. For purposes of the foregoing definition, rent shall not include amounts required to be paid by the lessee, whether or not designated as rent or additional rent, on account of or contingent upon maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless, prior to or concurrently with the time the Issuers are required to make a Change of Control Offer, the Issuers have mailed or delivered, or otherwise sent through electronic transmission, a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding 2029 Notes pursuant to the optional redemption terms set forth in the Officer's Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers' Boards, as applicable, governing the 2029 Notes or pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers shall make an offer to purchase all of the 2029 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "<u>Change of Control Offer</u>") at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof (or such higher amount as the Issuers may determine (any Change of Control Offer at a higher amount, an "<u>Alternate Offer</u>")) (such price, the "<u>Change of Control Payment</u>") plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by electronic delivery or first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of the 2029 Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> and that all 2029 Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 20 Business Days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "<u>Change of Control Payment Date</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed, in the Issuers' discretion, until such time (including more than 60 days after the date such notice is sent) as any or all such conditions referred to in clause (7) below shall be satisfied or waived;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) that any 2029 Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) that unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment plus accrued and unpaid interest on all properly tendered 2029 Notes, all 2029 Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) that Holders electing to have any 2029 Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such 2029 Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of such 2029 Notes completed or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) that if less than all of such Holder's 2029 Notes are tendered for purchase, such Holder will be issued new 2029 Notes (or, in the case of Global Securities, such 2029 Notes shall be reduced by such amount of Securities that the Holder has tendered) and such new 2029 Notes will be equal in aggregate principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the 2029 Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the 2029 Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuers' discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered), or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuers reasonably believe that any or all such conditions (including the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event) will not be satisfied or waived by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, that a Holder must follow.

While the 2029 Notes are in global form and the Issuers make an offer to purchase all of the 2029 Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder of such 2029 Notes may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the 2029 Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

------

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of 2029 Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer). To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> by virtue thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent permitted by law,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) accept for payment all 2029 Notes issued by them or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2029 Notes or portions thereof so tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the 2029 Notes so accepted together with an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee stating that such 2029 Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all 2029 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2029 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2029 Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as set forth in clause (c) of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, purchases all of the 2029 Notes that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer as set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, to redeem (with respect to the Issuers) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all 2029 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the "<u>Second Change of Control Payment Date</u>") at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment (excluding any early tender premium or similar premium and any accrued and unpaid interest paid to any Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Payment) in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date, including, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of 2029 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Other than as specifically provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, any purchase pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> relating to the Issuers' obligation to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes then outstanding.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) A Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture, the 2029 Notes and/or the Note Guarantees so long as the tender of 2029 Notes by a Holder is not conditioned upon the delivery of consents by such Holder. In addition, the Issuers or any third party approved in writing by the Issuers that is making the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may increase or decrease the Change of Control Payment (or decline to pay any early tender or similar premium) being offered to Holders at any time in their sole discretion, so long as the Change of Control Payment is at least equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Section 7. <u>Governing Law</u>. THIS 2029 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 8. <u>Conflicts</u>. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture and the terms and conditions of this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall prevail; <u>provided</u> that if and to the extent that any provision of this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be included herein or in the Base Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

Section 9. <u>Counterparts</u>. The parties may sign any number of copies of this 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

Section 10. <u>Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of 2029 Notes</u>.

4.150% Senior Notes due 2029

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. INTEREST. Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>Dell International</u>"), and EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("<u>EMC</u>" and, together with Dell International, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this 2029 Note at 4.150% per annum, from October 6, 2025 until Maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "<u>Interest Payment Date</u>"). Interest on the 2029 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 15, 2026. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the 2029 Notes to the extent lawful; the Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the 2029 Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the 2029 Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. This 2029 Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a "<u>2029 Note</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>2029 Notes</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the 2029 Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of the 2029 Notes at the close of business (if applicable) on the February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the 2029 Notes at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, <u>provided</u> that all payments of principal of and interest and premium, if any, with respect to the 2029 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities will be made in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the 2029 Notes under the Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023 (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as supplemented by the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 (the "<u>2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture No.</u> <u>1</u>", and, together with the Base Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This 2029 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuers designated as their 4.150% Senior Notes due 2029. The Issuers shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities constituting Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture and Section 1(b) of the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The terms of the 2029 Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The 2029 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the 2029 Notes are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this 2029 Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE. The 2029 Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, as further described in the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The Issuers shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2029 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2029 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Alternate Offer or other tender offer, in whole or in part, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the 2029 Notes or the related Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2029 Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the 2029 Notes, the rights and obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the 2029 Notes shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. AUTHENTICATION. This 2029 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE 2029 NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or similar numbers to be printed on the 2029 Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the 2029 Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2029 Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Issuers desire to issue $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "<u>2031</u> <u>Notes</u>"), and in connection therewith, the Issuers have duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the 2031 Notes as required by the Base Indenture. This 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall supplement the Base Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2031 Notes issued hereunder (and not to any other series of Securities).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the 2031 Notes:

Section 1. <u>2031 Notes</u>. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the terms and provisions of the 2031 Notes are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The title of the 2031 Notes shall be "4.500% Senior Notes due 2031."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The 2031 Notes shall be initially limited to $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Issuers may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2031 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue. The 2031 Notes issued originally hereunder (the "<u>Initial 2031 Notes</u>") and any Additional Securities of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single class for purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; <u>provided</u> that if any such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Initial 2031 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Securities will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial 2031 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The price at which the 2031 Notes shall be issued to the public is 100.000%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuers' actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Redemption Price or to verify the calculation of the Redemption Price.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Stated Maturity for the 2031 Notes shall be on February 15, 2031. The 2031 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to the Stated Maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The rate at which the 2031 Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.500% per annum, as set forth in Section 1 of the form of 2031 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the 2031 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 15, 2026. Each February 15 and August 15 in each year, commencing February 15, 2026, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the 2031 Notes. The February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, even if such 2031 Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the 2031 Notes to the extent lawful, and the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2031 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the "<u>Depositary</u>") or its nominee with respect to the 2031 Notes shall be made by the Issuers through the Trustee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The 2031 Notes shall be redeemable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof) the terms and provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the 2031 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The 2031 Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Securities deposited with the Depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary. The 2031 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Trustee for the 2031 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The covenants set forth in <u>Sections 4</u>, <u>5</u> and <u>6</u> hereof shall apply to the 2031 Notes. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under such covenants set forth in <u>Sections 4</u>, <u>5</u> and <u>6</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuers after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any

------

successor designation or publication) ("<u>H.15</u>") under the caption "U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("<u>H.15 TCM</u>"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuers shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the "<u>Remaining Life</u>"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuers shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuers shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuers shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(mm) "<u>Voting Stock</u>" of any Person as of any date means the Capital Stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to vote in the election of the Board of such Person.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction which would otherwise be prohibited by <u>Section</u> <u>4(a)</u> hereof if, after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, Aggregate Debt does not exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $4,300.0 million and (y) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 5. <u>Liens</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien (except Permitted Liens) on any of their or any Restricted Subsidiary's Principal Property (whether such Principal Property is now existing or owned or hereafter created or acquired) that secures indebtedness for borrowed money, unless the 2031 Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or, at an Issuer's option, on a senior basis to) the indebtedness so secured.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof, the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries may, without equally and ratably securing the 2031 Notes, create, incur or assume any Lien which would otherwise be prohibited by <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof if, after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, Aggregate Debt of the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries secured by Liens on any of their respective Principal Properties does not exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $4,300.0 million and (y) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of any 2031 Notes pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the 2031 Notes.

Section 6. <u>Change of Control Triggering Event</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless, prior to or concurrently with the time the Issuers are required to make a Change of Control Offer, the Issuers have mailed or delivered, or otherwise sent through electronic transmission, a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding 2031 Notes pursuant to the optional redemption terms set forth in the Officer's Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers' Boards, as applicable, governing the 2031 Notes or pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers shall make an offer to purchase all of the 2031 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "<u>Change of Control Offer</u>") at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof (or such higher amount as the Issuers may determine (any Change of Control Offer at a higher amount, an "<u>Alternate Offer</u>")) (such price, the "<u>Change of Control Payment</u>") plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by electronic delivery or first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of the 2031 Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> and that all 2031 Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 20 Business Days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "<u>Change of Control Payment Date</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed, in the Issuers' discretion, until such time (including more than 60 days after the date such notice is sent) as any or all such conditions referred to in clause (7) below shall be satisfied or waived;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) that any 2031 Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) that unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment plus accrued and unpaid interest on all properly tendered 2031 Notes, all 2031 Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) that Holders electing to have any 2031 Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such 2031 Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of such 2031 Notes completed or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) that if less than all of such Holder's 2031 Notes are tendered for purchase, such Holder will be issued new 2031 Notes (or, in the case of Global Securities, such 2031 Notes shall be reduced by such amount of Securities that the Holder has tendered) and such new 2031 Notes will be equal in aggregate principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the 2031 Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the 2031 Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuers' discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered), or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuers reasonably believe that any or all such conditions (including the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event) will not be satisfied or waived by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, that a Holder must follow.

While the 2031 Notes are in global form and the Issuers make an offer to purchase all of the 2031 Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder of such 2031 Notes may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the 2031 Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

------

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of 2031 Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the 2031 Notes so accepted together with an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee stating that such 2031 Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all 2031 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2031 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2031 Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as set forth in clause (c) of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, purchases all of the 2031 Notes that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer as set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, to redeem (with respect to the Issuers) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all 2031 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the "<u>Second Change of Control Payment Date</u>") at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment (excluding any early tender premium or similar premium and any accrued and unpaid interest paid to any Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Payment) in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date, including, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of 2031 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Other than as specifically provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, any purchase pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> relating to the Issuers' obligation to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes then outstanding.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) A Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture, the 2031 Notes and/or the Note Guarantees so long as the tender of 2031 Notes by a Holder is not conditioned upon the delivery of consents by such Holder. In addition, the Issuers or any third party approved in writing by the Issuers that is making the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may increase or decrease the Change of Control Payment (or decline to pay any early tender or similar premium) being offered to Holders at any time in their sole discretion, so long as the Change of Control Payment is at least equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

**2032 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1** 

This 2032 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 (this "<u>2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture</u>"), is made and entered into among Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability corporation ("<u>Dell International</u>"), EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("<u>EMC</u>" and, together with Dell International, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture referred to below.

**RECITALS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Section 9.01(15) of the Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023, among the Issuers, the guarantors named therein (the "<u>Guarantors</u>") and the Trustee (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>" and, together with this 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>") provides that, without the consent of Holders, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Issuers desire to issue $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "<u>2032</u> <u>Notes</u>"), and in connection therewith, the Issuers have duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the 2032 Notes as required by the Base Indenture. This 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall supplement the Base Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2032 Notes issued hereunder (and not to any other series of Securities).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the 2032 Notes:

Section 1. <u>2032 Notes</u>. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the terms and provisions of the 2032 Notes are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The title of the 2032 Notes shall be "4.750% Senior Notes due 2032."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The 2032 Notes shall be initially limited to $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Issuers may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2032 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue. The 2032 Notes issued originally hereunder (the "<u>Initial 2032 Notes</u>") and any Additional Securities of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single class for purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; <u>provided</u> that if any such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Initial 2032 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Securities will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial 2032 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The price at which the 2032 Notes shall be issued to the public is 99.717%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuers' actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Redemption Price or to verify the calculation of the Redemption Price.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Stated Maturity for the 2032 Notes shall be on October 6, 2032. The 2032 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to the Stated Maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The rate at which the 2032 Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.750% per annum, as set forth in Section 1 of the form of 2032 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the 2032 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 6, 2026. Each April 6 and October 6 in each year, commencing April 6, 2026, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the 2032 Notes. The March 22 or September 21 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, even if such 2032 Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the 2032 Notes to the extent lawful, and the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2032 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the "<u>Depositary</u>") or its nominee with respect to the 2032 Notes shall be made by the Issuers through the Trustee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The 2032 Notes shall be redeemable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof) the terms and provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the 2032 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The 2032 Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Securities deposited with the Depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary. The 2032 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Trustee for the 2032 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Article 10 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2032 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The covenants set forth in <u>Sections 4</u>, <u>5</u> and <u>6</u> hereof shall apply to the 2032 Notes. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under such covenants set forth in <u>Sections 4</u>, <u>5</u> and <u>6</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The minimum authorized denomination for 2032 Notes shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) To the extent not set forth otherwise herein, the provisions of Article 2 of the Base Indenture are applicable.

------

Section 2. <u>Optional Redemption of the 2032 Notes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Prior to August 6, 2032 (the "<u>Par Call Date</u>"), the 2032 Notes will be redeemable, at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at the Issuers' option, at the Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (assuming the 2032 Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date;

<u>plus</u>, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2032 Notes to be redeemed that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuers may redeem the 2032 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.

Any redemption pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the 2032 Notes so accepted together with an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee stating that such 2032 Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all 2032 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2032 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2032 Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as set forth in clause (c) of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, purchases all of the 2032 Notes that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer as set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, to redeem (with respect to the Issuers) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all 2032 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the "<u>Second Change of Control Payment Date</u>") at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment (excluding any early tender premium or similar premium and any accrued and unpaid interest paid to any Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Payment) in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date, including, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of 2032 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Other than as specifically provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, any purchase pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> relating to the Issuers' obligation to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes then outstanding.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) A Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture, the 2032 Notes and/or the Note Guarantees so long as the tender of 2032 Notes by a Holder is not conditioned upon the delivery of consents by such Holder. In addition, the Issuers or any third party approved in writing by the Issuers that is making the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may increase or decrease the Change of Control Payment (or decline to pay any early tender or similar premium) being offered to Holders at any time in their sole discretion, so long as the Change of Control Payment is at least equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture and the terms and conditions of this 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall prevail; <u>provided</u> that if and to the extent that any provision of this 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be included herein or in the Base Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

4.750% Senior Notes due 2032

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. INTEREST. Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>Dell International</u>"), and EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("<u>EMC</u>" and, together with Dell International, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this 2032 Note at 4.750% per annum, from October 6, 2025 until Maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 6 and October 6 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "<u>Interest Payment Date</u>"). Interest on the 2032 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 6, 2026. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the 2032 Notes to the extent lawful; the Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the 2032 Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the 2032 Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. This 2032 Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a "<u>2032 Note</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>2032 Notes</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the 2032 Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of the 2032 Notes at the close of business (if applicable) on the March 22 or September 21 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the 2032 Notes at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, <u>provided</u> that all payments of principal of and interest and premium, if any, with respect to the 2032 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities will be made in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the 2032 Notes under the Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023 (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as supplemented by the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 (the "<u>2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture No.</u> <u>1</u>", and, together with the Base Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This 2032 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuers designated as their 4.750% Senior Notes due 2032. The Issuers shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities constituting Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture and Section 1(b) of the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The terms of the 2032 Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The 2032 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the 2032 Notes are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this 2032 Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE. The 2032 Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, as further described in the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The Issuers shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2032 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2032 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Alternate Offer or other tender offer, in whole or in part, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the 2032 Notes or the related Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2032 Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the 2032 Notes, the rights and obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the 2032 Notes shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. AUTHENTICATION. This 2032 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE 2032 NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or similar numbers to be printed on the 2032 Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the 2032 Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2032 Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

**2036 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1** 

This 2036 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 (this "<u>2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture</u>"), is made and entered into among Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability corporation ("<u>Dell International</u>"), EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("<u>EMC</u>" and, together with Dell International, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Trustee</u>"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture referred to below.

**RECITALS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Section 9.01(15) of the Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023, among the Issuers, the guarantors named therein (the "<u>Guarantors</u>") and the Trustee (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>" and, together with this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>") provides that, without the consent of Holders, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Issuers desire to issue $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.100% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "<u>2036</u> <u>Notes</u>"), and in connection therewith, the Issuers have duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the 2036 Notes as required by the Base Indenture. This 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall supplement the Base Indenture insofar as it will apply only to the 2036 Notes issued hereunder (and not to any other series of Securities).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the 2036 Notes:

Section 1. <u>2036 Notes</u>. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the terms and provisions of the 2036 Notes are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The title of the 2036 Notes shall be "5.100% Senior Notes due 2036."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The 2036 Notes shall be initially limited to $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Issuers may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2036 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue. The 2036 Notes issued originally hereunder (the "<u>Initial 2036 Notes</u>") and any Additional Securities of such series subsequently issued, shall be treated as a single class for purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; <u>provided</u> that if any such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Initial 2036 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Securities will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial 2036 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The price at which the 2036 Notes shall be issued to the public is 99.633%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuers' actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Redemption Price or to verify the calculation of the Redemption Price.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Stated Maturity for the 2036 Notes shall be on February 15, 2036. The 2036 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to the Stated Maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The rate at which the 2036 Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.100% per annum, as set forth in Section 1 of the form of 2036 Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the 2036 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 15, 2026. Each February 15 and August 15 in each year, commencing February 15, 2026, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the 2036 Notes. The February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, even if such 2036 Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the 2036 Notes to the extent lawful, and the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2036 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the "<u>Depositary</u>") or its nominee with respect to the 2036 Notes shall be made by the Issuers through the Trustee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The 2036 Notes shall be redeemable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with <u>Section</u> <u>2</u> hereof) the terms and provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the 2036 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The 2036 Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Securities deposited with the Depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary. The 2036 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuers shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the "<u>Remaining Life</u>"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuers shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuers shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuers shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(mm) "<u>Voting Stock</u>" of any Person as of any date means the Capital Stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to vote in the election of the Board of such Person.

Section 4. <u>Sale and Lease-Back Transactions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless (a) the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property involved in such transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction without equally and ratably securing the 2036 Notes pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof, or (b) the Issuers shall apply an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction within 365 days after such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction to the defeasance or retirement of any 2036 Notes or other indebtedness of the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary or to the purchase, construction or development of other assets or property.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction which would otherwise be prohibited by <u>Section</u> <u>4(a)</u> hereof if, after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, Aggregate Debt does not exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $4,300.0 million and (y) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 5. <u>Liens</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien (except Permitted Liens) on any of their or any Restricted Subsidiary's Principal Property (whether such Principal Property is now existing or owned or hereafter created or acquired) that secures indebtedness for borrowed money, unless the 2036 Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or, at an Issuer's option, on a senior basis to) the indebtedness so secured.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof, the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries may, without equally and ratably securing the 2036 Notes, create, incur or assume any Lien which would otherwise be prohibited by <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof if, after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, Aggregate Debt of the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries secured by Liens on any of their respective Principal Properties does not exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $4,300.0 million and (y) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of any 2036 Notes pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>5(a)</u> hereof shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the 2036 Notes.

Section 6. <u>Change of Control Triggering Event</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless, prior to or concurrently with the time the Issuers are required to make a Change of Control Offer, the Issuers have mailed or delivered, or otherwise sent through electronic transmission, a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding 2036 Notes pursuant to the optional redemption terms set forth in the Officer's Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolutions of the Issuers' Boards, as applicable, governing the 2036 Notes or pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers shall make an offer to purchase all of the 2036 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "<u>Change of Control Offer</u>") at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof (or such higher amount as the Issuers may determine (any Change of Control Offer at a higher amount, an "<u>Alternate Offer</u>")) (such price, the "<u>Change of Control Payment</u>") plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by electronic delivery or first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of the 2036 Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> and that all 2036 Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 20 Business Days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the "<u>Change of Control Payment Date</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed, in the Issuers' discretion, until such time (including more than 60 days after the date such notice is sent) as any or all such conditions referred to in clause (7) below shall be satisfied or waived;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) that any 2036 Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) that unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment plus accrued and unpaid interest on all properly tendered 2036 Notes, all 2036 Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) that Holders electing to have any 2036 Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such 2036 Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of such 2036 Notes completed or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) that if less than all of such Holder's 2036 Notes are tendered for purchase, such Holder will be issued new 2036 Notes (or, in the case of Global Securities, such 2036 Notes shall be reduced by such amount of Securities that the Holder has tendered) and such new 2036 Notes will be equal in aggregate principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the 2036 Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the 2036 Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuers' discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered), or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuers reasonably believe that any or all such conditions (including the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event) will not be satisfied or waived by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, that a Holder must follow.

While the 2036 Notes are in global form and the Issuers make an offer to purchase all of the 2036 Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder of such 2036 Notes may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the 2036 Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

------

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of 2036 Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer). To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> by virtue thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent permitted by law,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) accept for payment all 2036 Notes issued by them or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2036 Notes or portions thereof so tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the 2036 Notes so accepted together with an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee stating that such 2036 Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all 2036 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event or such other conditions specified therein, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2036 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2036 Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as set forth in clause (c) of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, purchases all of the 2036 Notes that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer as set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, to redeem (with respect to the Issuers) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all 2036 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the "<u>Second Change of Control Payment Date</u>") at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment (excluding any early tender premium or similar premium and any accrued and unpaid interest paid to any Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Payment) in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date, including, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of 2036 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Other than as specifically provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u>, any purchase pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>6</u> relating to the Issuers' obligation to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2036 Notes then outstanding.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) A Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture, the 2036 Notes and/or the Note Guarantees so long as the tender of 2036 Notes by a Holder is not conditioned upon the delivery of consents by such Holder. In addition, the Issuers or any third party approved in writing by the Issuers that is making the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may increase or decrease the Change of Control Payment (or decline to pay any early tender or similar premium) being offered to Holders at any time in their sole discretion, so long as the Change of Control Payment is at least equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2036 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Section 7. <u>Governing Law</u>. THIS 2036 NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 8. <u>Conflicts</u>. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture and the terms and conditions of this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture shall prevail; <u>provided</u> that if and to the extent that any provision of this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be included herein or in the Base Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

Section 9. <u>Counterparts</u>. The parties may sign any number of copies of this 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

Section 10. <u>Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of 2036 Notes</u>.

5.100% Senior Notes due 2036

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. INTEREST. Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>Dell International</u>"), and EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("<u>EMC</u>" and, together with Dell International, the "<u>Issuers</u>"), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this 2036 Note at 5.100% per annum, from October 6, 2025 until Maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "<u>Interest Payment Date</u>"). Interest on the 2036 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from October 6, 2025; <u>provided</u> that the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 15, 2026. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the 2036 Notes to the extent lawful; the Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the 2036 Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the 2036 Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. This 2036 Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a "<u>2036 Note</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>2036 Notes</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the 2036 Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of the 2036 Notes at the close of business (if applicable) on the February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the 2036 Notes at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, <u>provided</u> that all payments of principal of and interest and premium, if any, with respect to the 2036 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities will be made in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the 2036 Notes under the Base Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023 (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as supplemented by the 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 (the "<u>2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture No.</u> <u>1</u>", and, together with the Base Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This 2036 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuers designated as their 5.100% Senior Notes due 2036. The Issuers shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities constituting Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture and Section 1(b) of the 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The terms of the 2036 Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The 2036 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the 2036 Notes are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this 2036 Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE. The 2036 Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, as further described in the 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The Issuers shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2036 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2036 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Alternate Offer or other tender offer, in whole or in part, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the 2036 Notes or the related Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

To the addressees stated above:

We have acted as counsel to Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Dell International"), and EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("EMC" and, together with Dell International, the "Issuers"), and the guarantors listed in Schedule I to this opinion letter (collectively, the "Guarantors") in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269159) (the "Registration Statement") filed by the Issuers and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Issuers of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.150% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"), $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.100% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes" and, together with the 2029 Notes, the 2031 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the "Notes") and the issuance by the Guarantors of Guarantees (as defined below) with respect to the Securities.

------

Dell Technologies Inc. Dell International L.L.C. EMC Corporation, et al. -2- October 6, 2025

We have examined the Registration Statement; the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 22, 2025 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the several underwriters named therein, pursuant to which such underwriters have agreed to purchase the Notes issued by the Issuers and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors; the Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2023 (the "Base Indenture"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), and as supplemented by the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 relating to the 2029 Notes, the 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 relating to the 2031 Notes, the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 relating to the 2032 Notes and the 2036 Notes Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of October 6, 2025 relating to the 2036 Notes (collectively, the "Notes Supplemental Indentures" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"); duplicates of the global notes representing the Notes; and the guarantees whose terms are set forth in the Indenture (the "Guarantees"). In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We also have assumed that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee.

------

Dell Technologies Inc. Dell International L.L.C. EMC Corporation, et al. -3- October 6, 2025

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed further that (1) EMC is validly existing and in good standing under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes in accordance with its organizational documents and the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, (2) the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by EMC of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes do not constitute a breach or violation of its organizational documents or violate the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or any other jurisdiction (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act) and (3) the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by each of the Issuers and the Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and its Guarantee, as applicable, do not constitute a breach or default under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon any of the Issuers or Guarantors.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Assuming due authentication thereof by the Trustee and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Assuming due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee and upon payment for and delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

------

Dell Technologies Inc. Dell International L.L.C. EMC Corporation, et al. -4- October 6, 2025

Our opinions set forth above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In addition, we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of Section 13.15 of the Base Indenture relating to the severability of provisions of the Base Indenture.

In connection with Section 13.08 of the Base Indenture whereby the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in The City of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. Sections 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. We expressly disclaim coverage of any other Delaware law, except judicial decisions interpreting the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Dell Technologies Inc. filed with the Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the Issuers and to the use of our name under the caption "Validity of Securities" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.
