Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution

 Exhibit 10.1 
 PLAN OF LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION 
 OF 
 SOAPSTONE NETWORKS INC. 
 This Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the
“Plan”) is intended to accomplish the complete liquidation and dissolution of SOAPSTONE NETWORKS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in accordance with Sections 280 and 281(a) of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). 
 1. Adoption of Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has adopted this Plan. If the Plan is adopted by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders, the Plan shall constitute the adopted Plan of the Company. 
 2. Certificate of Dissolution and Effective Date. At the Company’s discretion, following the adoption of the Plan by the requisite vote of
the Company’s stockholders, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of dissolution (the “Certificate of Dissolution”) in accordance with the DGCL. The Plan shall be effective as
of such time the Certificate of Dissolution is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Date”). 
 3. Cessation of Business Activities. After the Effective Date, the Company shall not engage in any business activities except to the extent necessary to preserve the value of its assets, wind up its business affairs and distribute
its assets in accordance with this Plan. 
 4. Continuing Employees and Consultants. For the purpose of effecting the dissolution of
the Company, the Company shall hire or retain, at the discretion of the Board, such employees, consultants and advisors as the Board deems necessary or desirable to supervise or facilitate the dissolution. 
 5. Dissolution Process. 
 From and
after the Effective Date, the Company (or any successor entity of the Company) shall proceed, in a timely manner, to liquidate the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 280 and 281(a) of the DGCL. In this respect, the
Company shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL, and in conformity with the requirements of Section 281(a) of the DGCL: 
 (a) Shall pay the claims made and not rejected in accordance with Section 280(a) of the DGCL; 
 (b)
Shall post the security offered and not rejected pursuant to Section 280(b)(2) of the DGCL; 
 (c) Shall post any security ordered by
the Delaware Court of Chancery in any proceeding under Section 280(c) of the DGCL; and 
  

 1 

 (d) Shall pay or make provision for all other claims that are mature, known or uncontested or that have
been finally determined to be owing by the Company. 
 Such claims or obligations shall be paid in full and any such provision for payment
shall be made in full if there are sufficient assets. If there are insufficient assets, such claims and obligations shall be paid or provided for according to their priority, and, among claims of equal priority, ratably to the extent of assets
available therefor. Any remaining assets shall be distributed to the common stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that such distribution shall not be made before the expiration of 150 days from the date of the last notice of rejections
given pursuant to Section 280(a)(3) of the DGCL. In the absence of actual fraud, the judgment of the Board as to the provision made for the payment of all obligations under paragraph (d) of this Section shall be conclusive. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company (or any successor entity of the Company) may opt to dissolve the Company in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 281(a) of the DGCL. 
 6. Liquidating Trust. If deemed necessary, appropriate
or desirable by the Board, in its absolute discretion, in furtherance of the liquidation and distribution of the Company’s assets to the common stockholders, as a final liquidating distribution or from time to time, the Company shall transfer
to one or more liquidating trustees, for the benefit of the common stockholders (the “Trustees”), under a liquidating trust (the “Trust”), all, or a portion, of the assets of the Company. If assets are transferred
to the Trust, each common stockholder shall receive an interest (an “Interest”) in the Trust pro rata to its interest in the assets of the Company on that date. All distributions from the Trust will be made pro rata in accordance
with the Interests. The Interests shall not be transferable except by operation of law or upon death of the recipient. The Board is hereby authorized to appoint one or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other persons, or any combination
thereof, including, without limitation, any one or more officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of the Company, to act as the initial Trustee or Trustees for the benefit of the common stockholders and to receive any assets of the
Company. Any Trustees appointed as provided in the preceding sentence shall succeed to all right, title and interest of the Company of any kind and character with respect to such transferred assets and, to the extent of the assets so transferred and
solely in their capacity as Trustees, shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, any unsatisfied claims and unascertained or contingent liabilities. Further, any conveyance of assets to the
Trustees shall be deemed to be a distribution of property and assets by the Company to the common stockholders. Any such conveyance to the Trustees shall be in trust for the common stockholders of the Company. The Company, as authorized by the
Board, in its absolute discretion, may enter into a liquidating trust agreement with the Trustees, on such terms and conditions as the Board, in its absolute discretion, may deem necessary, appropriate or desirable. Adoption of this Plan by the
holders of the requisite vote of the outstanding capital stock of the Company shall constitute the approval of the stockholders of any such appointment and any such liquidating trust agreement as their act and as a part hereof as if herein written.

 7. Cancellation of Stock. From and after the Effective Date, and subject to applicable law, each holder of shares of capital stock
of the Company shall cease to have any rights in respect thereof, except the right to receive distributions, if any, pursuant to and in 

  

 2 

 
accordance with Section 5 hereof. As a condition to receipt of any distribution to the Company’s common stockholders, the Board or Trustee, in its
absolute discretion, may require the Company’s common stockholders to (i) surrender their certificates evidencing their shares of stock to the Company, or (ii) furnish the Company with evidence satisfactory to the Board or Trustee of
the loss, theft or destruction of such certificates, together with such surety bond or other security or indemnity as may be required by and satisfactory to the Board or Trustee. The Company will close its stock transfer books and discontinue
recording transfers of shares of stock of the Company on the date on which the Company files its Certificate of Dissolution under the DGCL, and thereafter certificates representing shares of stock of the Company will not be assignable or
transferable on the books of the Company except by will, intestate succession, or operation of law. 
 8. Unclaimed Distributions. If
any distribution to a stockholder cannot be made, whether because the stockholder cannot be located, has not surrendered its certificates evidencing the common stock as required hereunder or for any other reason, the distribution to which such
stockholder is entitled (unless transferred to the Trust established pursuant to Section 6 hereof) shall be transferred, at such time as the final liquidating distribution is made by the Company, to the official of such state or other
jurisdiction authorized by applicable law to receive the proceeds of such distribution. The proceeds of such distribution shall thereafter be held solely for the benefit of and for ultimate distribution to such stockholder as the sole equitable
owner thereof and shall be treated as abandoned property and escheat to the applicable state or other jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. In no event shall the proceeds of any such distribution revert to or become the property of the
Company. 
 9. Conduct of the Company Following Approval of the Plan. Under Delaware law, dissolution is effective upon the filing of
a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or upon such future effective date as may be set forth in the certificate of dissolution. Section 278 of DGCL provides that a dissolved corporation continues to
exist for three (3) years after the date of dissolution, or for such longer period as a court shall in its discretion direct, for purposes of prosecuting and defending suits by or against the corporation and enabling it to settle and close its
business, dispose of and convey its remaining assets, but not for the purpose of continuing the business of the corporation as a going concern. A corporation can continue to exist beyond the three (3) year period, if ordered by a court, for the
sole purpose of prosecuting or defending any action, suit or proceeding that was brought before or during the three (3) year period after the date of dissolution, until any judgments, orders or decrees are fully executed. The powers of the
directors continue during this time period in order to allow them to take the necessary steps to wind-up the affairs of the corporation. 
 10. Absence of Appraisal Rights. Under Delaware law, the Company’s stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights for their shares of capital stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Plan. 
 11. Stockholder Consent to Sale of Assets. Adoption of this Plan by the requisite vote of the outstanding capital stock of the Company shall
constitute the approval of the common stockholders of the sale, exchange or other disposition in liquidation of all of the remaining property and assets of the Company after the Effective Date, whether such sale, exchange or other disposition occurs
in one transaction or a series of transactions, and shall constitute ratification of all contracts for sale, exchange or other disposition which are conditioned on adoption of this Plan.

 12. Expenses of Dissolution. In connection with and for the purposes of implementing and assuring
completion of this Plan, the Company may, in the absolute discretion of the Board or the Trustee, pay any brokerage, agency, professional and other fees and expenses of persons rendering services to the Company in connection with the collection,
sale, exchange or other disposition of the Company’s property and assets and the implementation of this Plan. 
 13.
Compensation. In connection with and for the purpose of implementing and assuring completion of this Plan, the Company may, in the absolute discretion of the Board or Trustee, pay the Company’s officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives, or any of them, compensation or additional compensation above their regular compensation, including pursuant to severance and retention agreements, in money or other property, in recognition of the extraordinary efforts they, or any
of them, will be required to undertake, or actually undertake, in connection with the implementation of this Plan. Adoption of this Plan by the requisite vote of the outstanding capital stock of the Company shall constitute the approval of the
Company’s stockholders of the payment of any such compensation. 
 14. Indemnification. The Company shall continue to indemnify
its officers, directors, employees, agents and trustee in accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and contractual arrangements as therein or elsewhere provided, the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policy and applicable law, and such indemnification shall apply to acts or omissions of such persons in connection with the implementation of this Plan and the winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Board or the Trustee is
authorized to obtain and maintain insurance as may be necessary to cover the Company’s indemnification obligations. 
 15.
Modification or Abandonment of the Plan. Notwithstanding authorization or consent to this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of the Company, the Board or Trustee may modify, amend or abandon this Plan and the
transactions contemplated hereby without further action by the stockholders to the extent permitted by the DGCL. 
 16. Authorization.
The Board or Trustee is hereby authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to do and perform or cause the officers of the Company, subject to approval of the Board or Trustee, to do and perform, any and all acts, and to make, execute,
deliver or adopt any and all agreements, resolutions, conveyances, certificates and other documents of every kind which are deemed necessary, appropriate or desirable, in the absolute discretion of the Board or Trustee, to implement this Plan and
the transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limiting the foregoing, all filings or acts required by any state or federal law or regulation to wind up its affairs. 
  

 4Second Supplemental Indenture

 Exhibit 4.1 
 SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 This SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated June 15, 2009 (this
“Supplemental Indenture”), is made and entered into between Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association organized under the
laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture referred to below. 
 RECITALS 
 A. ARTICLE NINE of the Indenture, dated as of April 6, 2009,
between the Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”) provides that, without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture to
establish the form or terms of Securities of any series. 
 B. The Company desires to issue $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.375%
Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) and $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes” and, together with the 2012 Notes, the “Notes”), and in connection therewith,
the Company has duly determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this Supplemental Indenture to set forth the terms and provisions of the Notes as required by the Indenture. 
 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 Notes: 
 Section 1. Notes. Pursuant to
Section 301 of the Indenture, the terms and provisions of the Notes are as follows: 
 (a) The title of the 2012 Notes shall be
“3.375% Notes due 2012,” and the title of the 2019 Notes shall be “5.875% Notes due 2019.” 
 (b) The 2012 Notes shall be
initially limited to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2012 Notes, increase such aggregate principal amounts in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any
differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional 2012 Notes, and with the same CUSIP numbers as the 2012 Notes. The Company shall not issue any such additional 2012 Notes unless the additional 2012 Notes
are fungible with the 2012 Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. The 2019 Notes shall be initially limited to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2019 Notes, increase
such aggregate principal amounts in the future, on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional 2019 Notes, and with the same CUSIP numbers as the 2019
Notes. The Company shall not issue any such additional 2019 Notes unless the additional 2019 Notes are fungible with the 2019 Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. 

 (c) The price at which the 2012 Notes shall be issued to the public is 99.932%, and the price at which
the 2019 Notes shall be issued to the public is 99.933%. 
 (d) The Stated Maturity for the 2012 Notes shall be on June 15, 2012, and
the Stated Maturity for the 2019 Notes shall be on June 15, 2019. The 2012 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments prior to maturity on June 15, 2012, and the 2019 Notes shall not require any principal or premium payments
prior to maturity on June 15, 2019. 
 (e) The rate at which the 2012 Notes shall bear interest shall be 3.375% per annum, and the
rate at which the 2019 Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.875% per annum. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from June 15, 2009. Each
June 15 or December 15 in each year, commencing December 15, 2009, shall be an Interest Payment Date for the Notes. The June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding an Interest
Payment Date shall be the Regular Record Date for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1.000% per annum, and the Company shall
pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 (f) Payments of principal of and interest on the
Notes represented by one or more Global Security initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) or its nominee with respect to the Notes shall be made by the Company through the Trustee in
immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be. 
 (g) The Notes shall be redeemable at any time in whole,
or from time to time in part, at the Company’s option in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 2 hereof and (to the extent they do not conflict with Section 2 hereof) the terms and provisions of
ARTICLE ELEVEN of the Indenture. 
 (h) There shall be no mandatory sinking fund for the payments of the Notes. 
 (i) ARTICLE EIGHT of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes. 
 (j) The 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. 
 (k) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Trustee for the Notes under the Indenture. 
 (l) With respect to the Notes, so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company’s failure to comply
with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act (relating to the filing of reports, information and other documents with the Commission), shall not constitute an Event of Default. 
 (m) With respect to the Notes and not to any other Securities that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture (unless specified in a
supplemental indenture pertaining to such Securities), Section 704 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “Section 704. Reports by Company. 

 The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to Holders, such information,
documents and other reports, if any, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any such information, documents or
reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 30 days after the same is so required to be filed with the Commission.” 
 (n) To the extent not set forth otherwise herein, the provisions of Section 301 of the Indenture are applicable. 
 Section 2. Optional Redemption of the Notes. 
 (a) The Notes shall be redeemable, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 
 (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 
 (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed from the
Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of any interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at
the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points in the case of the 2012 Notes and 30 basis points in the case of the 2019 Notes (the “Applicable Premium”); 
 plus, in each case, any interest accrued but not paid on the Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on applicable Notes 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 Regular Record Date. 
 (b) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the applicable Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis. Notes in denominations of $2,000 or less may not be redeemed in
part. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. Notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. A notice
of redemption need not set forth the exact Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. 
 (c) The Applicable Premium shall
be calculated by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company; provided, however, if the Company fails to make such appointment at least 45 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, or if the
institution so appointed is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, such calculation will be made by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee. 

 Section 3. Definitions. 
 (a) “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the applicable Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity

 (b) “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference

Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. 
 (e) “Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case

 (f) “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity

 Section 4. Counterparts. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed
to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 5. Governing
Law. This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

 Section 6. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals contained
