2006 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

Overview

The 2006 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Compellent Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is
designed to motivate, retain and reward its management through a combination of financial and
corporate performance-based incentive compensation components. The members of the Company’s
management team designated by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Committee”) in its sole discretion (each a “Participant”), employed at the Company during 2006,
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Committee in its sole
discretion. For purposes of this Plan, “2006” shall mean the calendar year ending December 31,
2006.

The Plan is designed to award a cash incentive payment (each a “Cash Payment”) for performance in
2006 to a Participant if the Company achieves certain financial performance objectives (“Financial
Targets”) set by the Committee and/or if the Company achieves certain corporate performance
objectives set by the Committee (“Corporate Targets”) and the Committee’s evaluation of the
Participant’s contribution toward the achievement of such Corporate Targets.

Participants are eligible to receive a Cash Payment under the Plan if the Company achieves its
Financial Targets and/or the Company achieves the Corporate Targets. For 2006, the target amount
of the Cash Payment a Participant may receive upon achievement of the Financial Targets and/or the
Corporate Targets shall be set by the Committee (the “Cash Payment Target Amount”).

Financial Targets (the “Financial Cash Payment”) and to the achievement of the Corporate Targets
(the “Corporate Cash Payment”) in such weightings as determined at the discretion of the Committee,

her Cash Payment Target Amount as described more fully below.

Financial Cash Payment

The Committee has set the Financial Targets for the Participants, based on achievement of certain

billings for products, product support and services, whether such
amounts are recognized as revenue or deferred to future periods. The Committee has also set a threshold bookings target for 2006, for the award of a
portion of the Financial Cash Payment (the
“Threshold”). If the Company’s bookings
are less than the
Threshold, a Participant will not receive any portion of his or her Financial Cash Payment. If the
Company’s bookings exceed the Threshold, but fall below

be entitled to a portion of his or her Financial Cash Payment in such amount as determined by the Compensation Committee. There is no maximum Financial
Cash Payment under the Plan.
