 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows: 

1. Voting of Shares. From the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the
Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company
with respect to any of the following, each Stockholder shall vote or cause to be voted the Subject Shares that such Stockholder is entitled to vote: 
 (a) unless the Company Board has made a Change of Recommendation that has not been rescinded or otherwise withdrawn, (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of
the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (ii) against any other action or agreement that is not recommended by the Company Board and that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement, (B) result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, or
(C) impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; 

(b) in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated and in connection with such termination the Company enters into a
definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (an “Accepted Superior Proposal”), in favor of such Superior Proposal if recommended to the stockholders by action of the Company Board, the Special Committee or any other
duly constituted committee of the Company Board (“Board Action”) in the same proportion as the number of Shares owned by Unaffiliated Stockholders (as defined below) that are voted in favor of approval of the Superior Proposal bears
to the total number of Shares owned by Unaffiliated Stockholders and, if recommended by Board Action, in such proportion on any other matter with respect to such Superior Proposal that is submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Company;
provided that in lieu of voting in such proportion, each Stockholder may, in his or its sole discretion, vote or cause to be voted all the Subject Shares that such Stockholder is entitled to vote in favor of any matter referred to in this
paragraph (b); and 
 (c) in the event that the Company Board has made a Change of Recommendation that has not
been rescinded or otherwise withdrawn, in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement in the same proportion as the number of Shares owned by Unaffiliated Stockholders that are voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement bears to the
total number of Shares owned by Unaffiliated Stockholders. 
 (d) “Unaffiliated Stockholders”
means holders of Shares other than Parent, Merger Sub, the Stockholders, any executive officers and directors of the Company or any other Person having any equity interest in, or any right to acquire any equity interest in, Merger Sub or any Person
of which Merger Sub is a direct or indirect Subsidiary. The Company shall timely provide to each Stockholder sufficient information to confirm the manner in which the Shares shall be, or have been, voted at any stockholder meeting pursuant to
Sections 1(b) and (c). 

  
 2 

 2. Tendering of Shares. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated and in
connection with such termination the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal that is structured as a tender or exchange offer with a minimum condition of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
that is not waived, the Stockholders shall (i) accept such offer in the same proportion as the number of Shares owned by Unaffiliated Stockholders that are tendered or exchanged bears to the total number of Shares owned by Unaffiliated
Stockholders and tender or exchange, as applicable, such proportion of the Subject Shares pursuant to such offer, provided that in lieu of tendering in such proportion, each Stockholder may, in his or its sole discretion, tender or exchange
or cause to be tendered or exchanged all or a greater proportion of its Subject Shares, and (ii) not withdraw any Subject Shares tendered pursuant to such offer (unless recommended to do so by Board Action). The Company shall timely
provide to each Stockholder sufficient information to confirm the manner in which the Shares shall be, or have been, tendered in any tender or exchange offer pursuant to this Section 2. 

3. Transfer of Shares. Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that during the period from the date of this Agreement through the
Expiration Date, such Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, (i) transfer, assign, sell, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose (whether by sale, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution) of or consent to any
of the foregoing (“Transfer”), or cause to be Transferred, any of the Subject Shares; provided, that nothing in this clause (i) shall prohibit Transfers from any Stockholder(s) to any other Stockholder(s),
(ii) deposit any of the Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Subject Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this
Agreement, (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the Transfer of any Shares or (iv) take any other action, that would materially restrict, limit or interfere with the
performance of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. The foregoing restrictions on Transfers of Subject Shares shall not prohibit any such Transfers by any Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, the Rollover Contribution Agreement, Section 2.20 of the Interim Investors Agreement (as defined below) or Section 2 of this Agreement. 
 4. Acquisition Proposals. 
 (a) Each Stockholder covenants
and agrees that during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date, such Stockholder shall, if requested to do so by action of the Company Board or the Special Committee of

  
 3 

 
the Company Board, explore in good faith the possibility of working with any Persons or groups of Persons regarding an Acquisition Proposal (provided that the Company is permitted pursuant
to Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(c) of the Merger Agreement to engage in discussions with such Persons or groups of Persons regarding such Acquisition Proposal), including by reviewing and responding to proposals and taking part in
meetings and negotiations with respect thereto; it being understood that such Stockholder’s decision as to whether to work with any Person or group of Persons after such good faith exploration shall be within such Stockholder’s discretion.

 (b) If any Stockholder receives any inquiry or proposal that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal, such
Stockholder shall promptly inform the Company of such inquiry or proposal and the details thereof. 
 (c) Each
Stockholder shall keep confidential from Silver Lake Partners and its Affiliates (collectively, “SLP”) the specific terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal made by a Person other than SLP or by a group of Persons of which
SLP is not a member, provided that such confidentiality obligation shall be subject to the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not
restrict any Stockholder from discussing with SLP any aspect of any Acquisition Proposal that SLP may wish to make, including the price thereof, so long as such Stockholder does not disclose to SLP the specific terms and conditions of any
Acquisition Proposal made by a Person other than SLP or by a group of Persons of which SLP is not a member. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in any other agreement between the Company and any Stockholder to the contrary, no
Stockholder shall be prohibited from making any Acquisition Proposal to the Company, whether individually or as part of a group. 
 5. Additional Covenants of the Stockholders. 
 (a)
Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, each Stockholder shall (at such Stockholder’s sole cost and expense) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, and
shall (at such Stockholder’s sole cost and expense) take such further actions, as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement. 

(b) Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby waives, to the full extent of the law, and agrees not to
assert any appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or otherwise in connection with the Merger or any merger in connection with an Accepted Superior Proposal (unless the Company Board has made a Change of Recommendation (that has
not been rescinded or otherwise withdrawn)) with respect to any and all Subject Shares held by the undersigned of record or beneficially owned. 

  
 4 

 6. Representations and Warranties of each Stockholder. Each Stockholder on its own
behalf hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, with respect to such Stockholder and such Stockholder’s ownership of the Subject Shares as follows: 

(a) Authority. Such Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law). If such Stockholder is a trust, no consent of any beneficiary is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Other than as provided in the Merger Agreement and
any filings by Stockholder with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the execution, delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement does not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or
notification to any Governmental Entity, other than any consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to prevent or
materially delay the consummation of the Merger or such Stockholder’s ability to observe and perform such Stockholder’s material obligations hereunder. 

(b) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms hereof, will violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit
agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or to such
Stockholder’s property or assets. 
 (c) The Subject Shares. Such Stockholder is the record and
beneficial owner of, or is a trust or estate that is the record holder of and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, and has good and marketable title to, the Subject Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule
A hereto, free and clear of any and all security interests, liens, changes, encumbrances, equities, claims, options or limitations of whatever nature and free of any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to
vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Subject Shares), other than any of the foregoing that would not prevent or delay such Stockholder’s ability to perform such Stockholders obligations hereunder. Such Stockholder does not own, of record or
beneficially, any shares of capital stock of the Company other than the Subject Shares set forth 

  
 5 

 
opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (except that such Stockholder may be deemed to beneficially own Subject Shares owned by other Stockholders). Subject to the terms
of the Rollover Contribution Agreement, the Stockholders have, or will have at the time of the applicable stockholder meeting, the sole right to vote or direct the vote of, or to dispose of or direct the disposition of, such Subject Shares (it being
understood (x) in the case of Stockholders that are trusts, that the trustees thereof have the right to cause such Stockholders to take such actions, and (y) in the case of Subject Shares held in a 401(k) plan, any such Subject Shares for
which a direction to vote is not given may be voted in accordance with the plan documents), and none of the Subject Shares is subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares that would prevent
or delay a Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Except for the Rollover Contribution Agreement and Section 2.20 of the Interim Investors Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Denali Holding Inc.,
Michael S. Dell, Susan Lieberman Dell Separate Property Trust, MSDC Management, L.P., Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., Silver Lake Technology Investors III, L.P. and, for the limited purposes stated therein, Michael S.
Dell 2009 Gift Trust and Susan L. Dell 2009 Gift Trust (the “Interim Investors Agreement”), (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, obligating such Stockholder to Transfer, or
cause to be Transferred, any of the Subject Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (other than a Transfer from one Stockholder to another Stockholder) and (ii) no Person has any contractual or
other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of such Subject Shares. 
 (d) Reliance by the
Company. Such Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. 

(e) Litigation. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, there is no action, proceeding or
investigation pending or threatened against such Stockholder that questions the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken by such Stockholder in connection with this Agreement. 

(f) Other Agreements. Such Stockholder is not subject to any obligation that would restrict it from
(i) taking the actions described in Section 4 hereof, or (ii) making an Acquisition Proposal or entering into any agreement with the Company or any Person or group of Persons relating to a Superior Proposal, in each case
other than any of the foregoing in the agreements listed on Schedule B. As of the date hereof, other than the Rollover Contribution Agreement, this Agreement and the agreements listed on Schedule B hereto, true and complete copies of
which have been provided to the Company, there are no contracts, undertakings, commitments, agreements, obligations, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, between such Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any
other Person, on the other hand, relating in 

  
 6 

 
any way to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or to the ownership or operations of the Company after the Effective Time. Except as expressly set forth therein, none of the
agreements listed on Schedule B hereto shall survive termination of the Merger Agreement without consummation of the Merger. Such Stockholder will not agree to amend any agreement listed on Schedule B hereto to which it is a party or
enter into any agreement that would be required to be listed on Schedule B hereto if such agreement were in existence on the date hereof, in each case if such amendment or agreement would restrict such Stockholder from taking any of the
actions set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph (f) or otherwise restrict or prevent such Stockholder from complying with its obligations hereunder. 

(g) Finders Fees. Other than as set forth in the agreements listed on Schedule B, no broker, investment
bank, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial adviser’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of
such Stockholder. 
 7. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the
Stockholders as follows: The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Company
Board, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby. The Company has duly and validly executed this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). 

  
 7 

 8. Stockholder Capacity. No Person executing this Agreement who is or becomes during
the term hereof a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer. Each Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in such
Stockholder’s capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of, or as a trust whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, Subject Shares and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken (or any failures to act) by a
Stockholder in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company. The taking of any actions (or any failures to act) by a Stockholder in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company shall not be
deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement, regardless of the circumstances related thereto. 
 9. Termination. This
Agreement shall automatically terminate without further action upon the earliest to occur (the “Expiration Date”) of (i) with respect to the Stockholders’ obligations hereunder in respect of the Merger Agreement and
the Merger, (A) the Effective Time, (B) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (C) the written agreement of the Stockholders and the Company to terminate this Agreement, and
(ii) with respect to the Stockholders’ obligations hereunder in respect of a Superior Proposal, (A) the effective time of any merger of the Company provided for in such Superior Proposal or, if there is no provision for
such a merger, the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) the termination of the acquisition agreement reflecting the Superior Proposal in accordance with its terms. 

10. Specific Performance. Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the covenants, obligations and agreements
contained in this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters, (b) the Company is relying on such covenants in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement and (c) a violation of any of the terms of
such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law and for which monetary damages are not readily ascertainable. Therefore, each Stockholder agrees that the
Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain such Stockholder from committing
any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and shall be the Company’s sole remedy under this Agreement unless the Company shall have sought and been denied injunctive remedies, and such
denial is other than by reason of the absence of violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements. 
 11. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of

  
 8 

 
any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined
exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of
Delaware). 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or
proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement,
(i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 11, (ii) any claim that it or its
property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of
judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (x) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. 
 12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 12.

 13. Amendment, Waivers, etc. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or otherwise modified other
than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each of the Stockholders. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of
such waiver, discharge or termination is sought. 
 14. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall
not be assignable or otherwise transferable by a party without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to so assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without such consent shall be void and of no effect. This Agreement
shall be binding upon the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors,
legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

APPENDIX A - TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT 

FOR U.S. EMPLOYEES 

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan the
number of Restricted Stock Units indicated on the first page of this Agreement,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, this Appendix A
and the Plan. When Shares are paid to the Employee in payment for the Restricted
Stock Units, par value will be deemed paid by the Employee for each Restricted
Stock Unit by past services rendered by the Employee and will be subject to the
appropriate tax withholdings.

    
2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. On any
date, a Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one
Share. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement, the
Employee will have no right to payment of the Restricted Stock Units. Prior to
actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units
represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from
the general assets of the Company.

    
3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided
in paragraph 4, and subject to paragraph 5, the Restricted Stock Units subject
to this grant will vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units, and on the
dates shown, on the first page of this Agreement, but in each case, only if the
Employee’s status as a Service Provider has not been interrupted. 

    
4. Administrator Discretion. The
Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion
of the Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If
so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having been
earned (vested) as of the date specified by the Administrator. Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the
balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is
accelerated in connection with the interruption of the Employee’s status as a
Service Provider (provided that such interruption is a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than
due to death, and if (x) the Employee is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of Section 409A at the time of such interruption and (y) the payment of
such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of
additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Employee on or within the six
(6) month period following the Employee’s “separation from service” (within the
meaning of Section 409A), then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock
Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following
the date of such separation, unless the Employee dies during such six (6) month
period, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Employee’s
estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph
8. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section
409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or
Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under
Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The
Company and the Employee will cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this
Agreement to avoid the imposition of any taxes or penalties under Section 409A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the Company be
responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses
incurred by the Employee due under Section 409A or any other law or regulation.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any proposed,
temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance
thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

     5. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units
that have not vested pursuant to paragraphs 3 or 4 will be forfeited and
cancelled automatically on the first to occur of (a) the date the Employee’s
status as a Service Provider is interrupted or (b) the Termination Date set
forth on the first page of this Agreement. 

    
6. Payment after Vesting. Subject to
paragraph 4, Restricted Stock Units that vest will be paid to the Employee (or
in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares (which may
be in electronic form) as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, but
in each such case no later than the date that is two-and-one-half months from
the end of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and if permitted by the Administrator, the
Employee may elect to defer the payout of vested Restricted Stock Units by
properly completing and submitting a Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Election to
the Company in accordance with the directions on the Election form and such
rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion, which rules and procedures shall comply with the requirements of
Section 409A, unless otherwise expressly determined by the
Administrator.

    
7. Death of the Employee. Any
distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will,
if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of
the Employee’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a)
written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory
to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any
laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. 

    
8. Withholding of Taxes. If any tax
withholding is required when Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted
Stock Units or, in the discretion of the Company, at such earlier time as the
Tax Obligations (defined below) are due, the Company (or the employing
Subsidiary), will withhold a portion of the Shares that has an aggregate market
value sufficient to pay all taxes and social insurance liability and other
requirements in connection with the Shares, including, without limitation, (a)
all federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes
that are required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary, (b)
the Employee’s and, to the extent required by the Company (or the employing
Subsidiary), the Company’s (or the employing Subsidiary’s) fringe benefit tax
liability, if any, associated with the grant, vesting, or sale of the Restricted
Stock Units awarded and the Shares issued thereunder, and (c) all other taxes or
social insurance liabilities with respect to which the Employee has agreed to
bear responsibility (collectively, the “Tax Obligations”). The number of Shares
withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole
Share, with no refund provided in the U.S. for any value of the Shares withheld
in excess of the Tax Obligations as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may require the Employee to
make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such Tax Obligations
in advance of the arising of any Tax Obligations. 

    
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will
be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the
Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any Tax
Obligations that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with
respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law,
the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice
from any fees, salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a
sufficient value to satisfy any Tax Obligations that the Company determines
cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares or
that are due prior to the issuance of Shares under the Restricted Stock Units
award. All Tax Obligations related to the Restricted Stock Units award and any
Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee.

     9. Rights as
Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any
person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or
privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable
hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares have been
issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or
registrars, and delivered to the Employee. Except as provided in paragraph 11,
after such issuance, recordation, and delivery, the Employee will have all the
rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and
receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

    
10. No Effect on Employment. The
Employee's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is on an at-will
basis only. Accordingly, the terms of the Employee's employment with the Company
and its Subsidiaries will be determined from time to time by the Company or the
Subsidiary employing the Employee (as the case may be), and the Company or the
Subsidiary will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate
or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder
and the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement do not
constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period
of time. 

    
11. Changes in Shares. In the event that
as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification,
recapitalization, combination of Shares or the adjustment in capital stock of
the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or
other reorganization, the Restricted Stock Units will be increased, reduced or
otherwise changed, and by virtue of any such change the Employee will in his
capacity as owner of unvested Restricted Stock Units which have been awarded to
him (the “Prior Units”) be entitled to new or additional or different restricted
stock units, cash, or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase
securities), such new or additional or different restricted stock units, cash,
or securities will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units
and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were
applicable to the Prior Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the
Employee receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Units, such
rights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Employee, provided that until
such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or
other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be
considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of
the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Units
pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Administrator in its absolute
discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such
new or additional units, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase
securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights
or warrants. 

    
12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be
given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the
Company, in care of the Company’s Stock Administration Department, at Quantum
Corporation, 1650 Technology Drive, Suite 800, San Jose, CA 95110, or at such
other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 

    
13. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to
the limited extent provided in paragraph 7 above, this grant and the rights and
privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or
hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not
be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any
attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this
grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale
under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights
and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

     14. Data Privacy Notice.
All of Employee’s information that is
described or referenced in this Agreement and the Plan may be used by the
Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates to administer and manage Employee’s
participation in the Plan. Employee understands that he or she may contact the
Company’s international privacy officer if Employee needs to update or correct
any of the information. The Company will transfer this information to, and store
this information in one or several of its U.S. offices. In addition, if
necessary to administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan, the
Company may transfer to, or share this information with its Subsidiaries and
affiliates and any third party agents acting on the Company’s behalf to provide
services to Employee, or any other third parties or governmental agencies, as
required or permitted by law or the Safe Harbor framework established by the
U.S. Department of Commerce. In particular, without limitation, the Company has
engaged eTrade and any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common
control with eTrade (“eTrade’s affiliates”; and together with eTrade
collectively “eTrade”) to provide brokerage services and to help administer the
Company’s stock plans. eTrade is acting primarily as a data processing agent
under the Company’s instructions and directions, but eTrade reserved the right
to share Employee’s information with eTrade’s affiliates. Except as provided in
this Section or as required or permitted by law or the Safe Harbor framework
established by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Company will not disclose
Employee’s information outside the Company without Employee’s consent.

    
Unless Employee notifies Company within 30 days of the grant of the
Restricted Stock Units the Company may use and transfer Employee’s personal
information as described in this Section 14, particularly as it concerns
transfers to eTrade. Employee understands that participation in the Plan is
entirely voluntary and that his or her denial of consent does not have any
adverse effects other than exclusion from the Plan. 

    
15. Restrictions on Sale of Securities.
The Shares issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units under this
Agreement will be registered under U.S. federal securities laws and will be
freely tradable upon receipt. However, an Employee’s subsequent sale of the
Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the
Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any
other applicable securities laws. 

    
16. Binding Agreement. Subject to the
limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement
will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal
representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto. 

    
17. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Certificates for
Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue any certificate or certificates (which may be in book entry form) for
Shares payable under this Agreement prior to fulfillment of all of the following
conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges
on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any
registration or other qualification of such Shares under any U.S. state or
federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, will have determined to be necessary or advisable; (c)
the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or federal
governmental agency, which the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will have
determined to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable
period of time following the vesting date of the Restricted Stock Units, as the
Administrator may establish from time to time, for reasons of administrative
convenience. 

     18. Electronic Delivery. The Company may,
in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this or
future grants of Restricted Stock Units by electronic means or to request
Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Employee
hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if
requested, to accept this or future grants of Restricted Stock Units through an
on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or
another third party designated by the Company. 

    
19. Plan Governs. This Agreement is
subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict
between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of
the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

    
20. Administrator Authority. The
Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and
to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of
the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules
(including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any
Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations
and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and
binding upon the Employee, the Company, and all other interested persons. No
person acting as the Administrator will be personally liable for any action,
determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
this Agreement. 

    
21. Captions. Captions provided herein are
for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or
construction of this Agreement. 

    
22. Agreement Severable. In the event that
any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such
provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will
not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. 

    
23. Modifications to the Agreement. This
Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects
covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this
Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other
than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be
made only in an express written agreement executed by a duly authorized officer
of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this
Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems
necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the
Employee, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any
additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with these
Restricted Stock Units (including settlement or payment thereof). 

    
24. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Award, the Employee expressly warrants
that he or she has received a right to an equity based award under the Plan, and
has received, read, and understood a description of the Plan. The Employee
understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified,
suspended, or terminated by the Company at any time.

     25. Notice of Governing Law. This Award of
Restricted Stock Units shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of California,
without regard to principles of conflict of
laws.
