 EXHIBIT SD 

SERIES D PREFERRED UNITS 

PARTNERSHIP UNIT DESIGNATION 

Reference is made to the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership
Agreement”) of Gladstone Land Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), of which this Partnership Unit Designation shall become a part. 

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Partnership Agreement. Section references
are (unless otherwise specified) references to sections in this Partnership Unit Designation. 
 The General Partner has set forth in this
Partnership Unit Designation the following description of the preferences and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of a class and series of Partnership
Interests to be represented by Partnership Units which shall be referred to as the “Series D Preferred Units”: 

1.    Designation and Number. A series of Partnership Units in the Partnership, designated as the “Series D
Preferred Units,” is hereby established. The number of Series D Preferred Units shall be 3,600,000. 

2.    Rank. Series D Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation of the
Partnership, rank (a) senior to the OP Units, and to all other classes and series of Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership; (b) on a parity with
the Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units and any other Preferred Parity Units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation of the Partnership; (c) junior to all classes and series of
Units issued by the Partnership, the terms of which specifically provide that such Units rank senior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation of the Partnership; and (d) junior to all existing
and future indebtedness of the Partnership. 
 3.    Voting. Holders of Series D Preferred Units shall not have
any voting rights, except with respect to those matters required by law. 

4.    Non-liquidating Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 5 and 6 of this Partnership Unit Designation: 
 (a)    Holders of Series D Preferred Units are
entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the General Partner and declared by the Partnership out of funds of the Partnership legally available for payment, preferential cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 5.00% per annum of the $25.00
liquidation preference per Series D Preferred Unit, equal to a fixed annual amount of $1.25 per Series D Preferred Unit; provided, however, that if the Parent fails to redeem or call for redemption all shares of Series D Preferred Stock (defined
below) on January 31, 2026, the distribution rate of the Series D Preferred Units will increase by 3.0% per Series D Preferred Unit per annum to 8.0% until such shares of Series D Preferred Stock are redeemed or called for redemption.
Distributions on each Unit of Series D Preferred Units shall be cumulative from (but excluding) the last day of the Parent’s most recent dividend period for which dividends have been paid by the Parent or, if no dividends have been paid by the
Parent, from the date of issuance and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the fifth day of each month, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day or on such other date

 
as designated by the General Partner, with the same force and effect as if paid on such date. Any distribution payable on the Series D Preferred Units for any partial distribution period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Distributions shall be payable to holders of record as they appear in the records of the
Partnership at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 25th day of the applicable month or such other date designated by the General Partner that is prior to the
applicable distribution payment date. 
 (b)    No distribution on Series D Preferred Units shall be authorized by the
General Partner or declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the General Partner, the Parent or the Partnership, including any agreement relating to the indebtedness of
any of them, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall
be restricted or prohibited by law. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on Series D Preferred Units
shall accrue whether or not the Partnership has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions, whether or not such distributions are declared and whether or not such distributions are prohibited by
agreement. Except as set forth in the next sentence, no distributions will be declared or paid or set apart for payment on Preferred Parity Units, OP Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to
distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership, for any period unless full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for
such payment on Series D Preferred Units for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period. When distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon Series D Preferred
Units and other Preferred Parity Units, all distributions declared upon Series D Preferred Units and other Preferred Parity Units shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Series D Preferred Unit and other Preferred
Parity Unit shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated distributions per Series D Preferred Unit and other Preferred Parity Unit (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior
distribution periods with respect to any Preferred Parity Units that are not entitled to cumulative distributions) bear to each other. 

(d)    Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless full cumulative distributions on Series D
Preferred Units have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period, no distributions
(other than in OP Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon any
Preferred Parity Units, OP Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership, nor shall any Preferred Parity Units, OP Units or other
Partnership Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Preferred Parity Units, OP Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership) by
the Partnership (except (i) by conversion into or exchange for OP Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation of the Partnership, (ii) in
connection with the redemption, purchase or acquisition of equity securities under incentive, benefit or share purchase plans of the Parent for officers, directors or employees or others performing or providing similar services, or (iii) by
other redemption, purchase or acquisition of such equity securities by the Parent for the purpose of preserving the Parent’s ability to qualify to be taxed as a REIT). Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prohibit the Parent from
acquiring OP Units pursuant to Section 8.06(b) of the Partnership Agreement. 

 (e)    Holders of Series D Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any
distribution in excess of full cumulative distributions on Series D Preferred Units as provided above. Any distribution made on Series D Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distribution due with respect to
such shares which remains payable. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on Series D Preferred Units which may be in arrears. 

(f)    In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), redemption or other
acquisition of the Partnership Units or otherwise is permitted under Delaware law, no effect shall be given to the amounts that would be needed, if the Partnership were to be liquidated at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential
rights upon distribution of holders of Partnership Units whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. 

(g)    This Section 4 is intended to provide the Holder of a Series D Preferred Unit with the
same entitlement to periodic distributions per Series D Preferred Unit as a holder of a share of 5.00% Series D Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Parent (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and shall
be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 5.    Liquidation Preference. 

(a)    Upon any liquidation of the Partnership, the holders of Series D Preferred Units are entitled to be paid out of the
assets of the Partnership legally available for distribution to its Partners a liquidation preference equal to the sum of (i) $25.00 per Series D Preferred Unit, and (ii) an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions to but
excluding the date of the redemption without interest, in cash or property at its fair market value as determined by the General Partner before any distribution of assets is made with respect to OP Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to
Series D Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation of the Partnership. 
 (b)    If
upon any liquidation of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Series D Preferred Units shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount and liquidating payments on any
other class or series of Preferred Parity Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Series D Preferred Units and any such other Preferred Parity Units ratably in the same proportion as the respective
amounts that would be payable on such Series D Preferred Units and any such other Preferred Parity Units if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. 

(c)    Written notice of any such liquidation of the Partnership, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or
places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated
therein, to each holder of Series D Preferred Units at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the records of the Partnership. 

(d)    Upon the liquidation of the Partnership, after payment shall have been made in full in respect of the Series D
Preferred Units, the holders of Series D Preferred Units shall not be entitled to receive any further amounts in respect of Series D Preferred Units. 

(e)    None of a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into another entity, a merger of another entity with
or into the Partnership, a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s property shall be considered a liquidation of the affairs of the Partnership for purposes of this Section 5. 

 6.    Redemption. In the event that shares of Series D Preferred
Stock are redeemed for cash in accordance with the governing documents of the Parent, then, concurrently therewith, an equivalent number of Series D Preferred Units held by the Parent shall be automatically redeemed for the same amount of cash paid
with respect to the redeemed shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Any such redemption of Series D Preferred Units will be effective at the same time as the redemption of the corresponding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. 

7.    No Conversion. Series D Preferred Units are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or
securities of the Partnership. 
 8.    No Maturity or Sinking Fund. The Series D Preferred Units have no
maturity date. No sinking fund has been established for the retirement or redemption of Series D Preferred Units.

 Exhibit 10.1 

Intel Corporation 
 2200 Mission College Blvd 

Santa Clara, CA, 95054-1549 
 January 13, 2021 

Dear Patrick: 
 Congratulations! On behalf of
Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Company”) I am pleased to provide this offer to you for the position of Chief Executive Officer reporting to the Intel Board of Directors (the “Board”). You will also be appointed to
the Board effective as of your employment start date (“Effective Date”) and for as long as you remain Chief Executive Officer, you will be nominated for election to the Board at each annual stockholder meeting at which directors are to be
elected. 
 Base Salary. Your annual base salary will be $1,250,000, less applicable taxes, deductions and withholdings. This base
salary will be reviewed annually as part of our performance review process and will increase commensurate with your performance, as assessed by the Board. 

Annual Performance Bonus. You will be eligible for an Annual Performance Bonus (“APB”) with a target payout of 275% of base
salary (which equates to $3,437,500 for fiscal year 2021 based on your initial base salary), less applicable taxes, deductions, and withholdings(“Target Bonus”). The APB is paid out in January for the prior year based on Intel’s
financial performance, as well as achievement of specified operational goals, subject to the terms of the APB plan. Subject to local law, to earn and receive an APB payout, employees must be employed on the Intel payroll through the last day of the
applicable bonus period. Your APB will not be pro-rated for your initial year of employment with Intel. 

Cash Hiring Bonus. You will receive a sign on bonus of $1,750,000 (“Hiring Bonus”), less applicable taxes, deductions, and
withholdings, which will be payable to you within 30 days following the Effective Date, provided that in the event that during the 12 month period following the Effective Date you voluntarily terminate your employment other than for Good Reason or
other than in the event your employment terminates for death or disability, you will be required to repay to Intel the Hiring Bonus on a pro-rated basis based on the number of days remaining in such 12 month
period as of the date your employment terminates. 
 Equity Grants. As of the Effective Date, you will be granted the following
equity compensation awards, which shall vest as set forth below, subject to your continued employment with Intel (except as provided herein): 

Performance Stock Units. You will be granted an award of Intel performance stock units based on relative total shareholder
return metrics (“TSR PSUs”), with a target number of Intel shares subject to the grant having a grant date fair value of $20,000,000, as determined by the Company in good faith, utilizing the simple average of Intel’s share trading
prices for the 30 consecutive days preceding the public announcement that you will join Intel as Chief Executive Officer (“Conversion Price”). Vesting of such TSR PSUs shall be based on Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the S&P
500 IT Index over a three-year period commencing with the grant date. The TSR PSUs will be subject to vesting terms that are consistent with the Company’s historical grant practices for similar such awards. 

 Time-Based Restricted Stock Units. You will be granted an award of Intel
restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a target number of Intel shares subject to the grant having a grant date fair value of $20,000,000, as determined by the Company in good faith, utilizing the Conversion Price. The RSUs will vest over a
three-year period as follows: One-twelfth of the RSUs will vest quarterly beginning on the three-month anniversary of the grant date and continuing until the third anniversary of the grant date of the RSUs.

 Strategic Growth PSUs. You will be granted an award of Intel performance stock units (“Strategic Growth PSUs”),
with a target number of Intel shares subject to the grant having a grant date fair value of $20,000,000, as determined by the Company in good faith, utilizing the Conversion Price, which will be earned based on the appreciation in Intel’s
closing stock price over the five-year period following the grant date. The threshold share appreciation target to earn any shares under the PSUs is an increase in Intel’s closing stock price of at least 30 percent over Intel’s
volume-weighted average closing share price for the 30 consecutive trading days preceding the public announcement that you will join Intel as Chief Executive Officer (the “VWAP”), in which event
one-half of the target number of shares under the Strategic Growth PSUs will be earned. The target number of shares under the Strategic Growth PSUs will be earned in the event of an increase in Intel’s
closing stock price of 50 percent over the VWAP. The maximum number of Intel shares that may be earned under the Strategic Growth PSUs in the event of an increase in Intel’s closing stock price of 100 percent or more over the VWAP
will be 200% of the target number of shares. The number of shares under the Strategic Growth PSU award that will be earned in the event of an increase in Intel’s stock price between 30 percent and 100 percent or more will be
determined via straight line interpolation of the earned percentages set forth herein. In order for shares to be earned under this Strategic Growth PSU grant, Intel’s closing stock price must close above the percentage increase targets set
forth herein for at least 30 consecutive trading days. Assuming your continued employment with Intel, shares under the Strategic Growth PSUs that are earned as a result of attainment of the stock price appreciation targets set forth herein during
the five year performance period will be distributed to you on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; provided, that to the extent the threshold (or a higher) stock price appreciation target set forth herein is attained on or prior to the thirty-six month anniversary of the grant date, 50 percent of the shares earned under the Strategic Growth PSUs as of such anniversary date shall be distributed to you on the
thirty-six month anniversary of the grant date and the remainder of any earned shares under the Strategic Growth PSUs shall be distributed to you on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; provided, further
that if, as of the fifth anniversary of the grant date Intel’s closing stock price for any of the thirty consecutive trading days immediately preceding such fifth anniversary is less than 30 percent above the VWAP, the maximum number of
shares issuable to you under the Strategic Growth PSUs on the fifth anniversary of the grant date (inclusive of any Intel shares previously distributed to you under the PSUs) shall be the target number of shares under the Strategic Growth PSUs. 

  
 2 

 Strategic Growth Options. You will be granted an award of Intel
performance-based stock options based on strategic growth metrics, with a target number of Intel shares subject to the grant having a grant date fair value of $20,000,000, as determined by the Company in good faith, utilizing the Conversion Price. One-fourth of the options will vest per year beginning on the twelve month anniversary of the grant date and continuing each year such that the grant is fully vested on the forty-eight month anniversary of the grant
date. The options, to the extent vested, shall become exercisable only if, during the five-year period following their grant date, Intel’s closing stock price increases by 30 percent or more above the VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days.
If, within the five-year period following the grant date, Intel’s closing stock price does not increase by 30 percent or more above the closing stock price as of the grant date for 30 consecutive trading days, the options shall be
cancelled as of such five-year anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price per share of the options will be equal to Intel’s closing stock price on the grant date. 

Outperformance PSUs. You will be granted an award of Intel performance stock units (“Outperformance PSUs”), with a
number of Intel shares subject to the grant having a grant date fair value of $20,000,000, as determined by the Company in good faith, utilizing the Conversion Price, which will be earned based on the appreciation in Intel’s closing stock price
over the five-year period following the grant date. The Intel shares subject to the Outperformance PSUs will be earned in the event of an increase in Intel’s closing stock price of 200% or more over the VWAP. In order for shares to be earned
under this Outperformance PSU grant, Intel’s closing stock price must close above such 200% increase for at least 30 consecutive trading days. Assuming your continued employment with Intel, shares under the Outperformance PSUs that are earned
as a result of attainment of the stock price appreciation target set forth herein during the five year performance period will be distributed to you on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; provided, that to the extent the stock price
appreciation target set forth herein is attained on or prior to the thirty-six month anniversary of the grant date, 50 percent of the shares earned under the Outperformance PSUs as of such anniversary
date shall be distributed to you on the thirty-six month anniversary of the grant date and the remainder of any earned shares under the Outperformance PSUs shall be distributed to you on the fifth anniversary
of the grant date. 
 Optional Investment RSU Grant. If on or within 30 days following the Effective Date you elect to
purchase Intel shares from Intel having an aggregate value as of their date of purchase of up to $10,000,000 (the “Investment Shares”), using the closing price of Intel shares on March 15, 2021, then the Company will grant you no
later than on the 35th day following the Effective Date, a number of matching RSUs equal to the number of Investment Shares, up to $10,000,000 in aggregate value, as determined by the Company in good faith, utilizing the simple average of
Intel’s share trading prices for the 30 consecutive days preceding the grant date, which RSUs will vest over a three-year period as follows: One-twelfth of the RSUs will vest quarterly beginning on the
three-month anniversary of the grant date and continuing until the third anniversary of the grant date; provided, that, such vesting of the matching RSUs will be subject to you continuing to hold the Investment Shares through the three-year period.
If you or Intel determine that, as a policy matter, it is inadvisable for you to buy the full $10,000,000 in value during the 30-day period described above, you and the Compensation Committee of Intel will
mutually and reasonably agree on an extension to the 30-day period so as to provide you a reasonable opportunity to purchase the full $10,000,000 in value and receive the matching RSUs (in which case the
vesting schedule for the matching RSUs will commence on the 35th day after the Effective Date). 

  
 3 

 Severance. In the event your employment is terminated by Intel without Cause (as
defined below) or you voluntarily resign your employment for Good Reason (as defined below), and you sign and do not revoke a release in favor of Intel that will be mutually agreed upon between you and Intel (a “Release”), and such Release
becomes effective within 60 days following the date your employment terminates, Intel will pay you a severance payment equal to the sum of (1) 18 months of your then-base salary and (2) 150% of your then-Target Bonus (in both cases, before any
reduction that would constitute Good Reason), payable in equal installments over a period of 18 months in accordance with Intel’s regular payroll practices, provided that if such 60 day period spans two calendar years, such severance payments
will commence on Intel’s first regularly scheduled payroll date following the effectiveness of the Release in the later of such calendar years, with any installments otherwise scheduled to be paid to you prior to such date instead paid in lump
sum to you on such first payroll date and all other installments paid in accordance with the schedule described in this offer letter. In addition, in the event your employment is terminated by Intel without Cause, including by reason of your death
or disability, or you voluntarily resign your employment for Good Reason, in either case within the initial two year period following the Effective Date, and you sign and do not revoke a Release, and such Release becomes effective within 60 days
following the date your employment terminates, your equity awards set forth under this offer letter that then are subject solely to time-based vesting will vest as to an additional 18 months (based on the regular vesting schedule applicable to the
equity award) from the date your employment terminates, effective as of the date of effectiveness of the Release, provided that if such 60 day period spans two calendar years, such vesting will occur on the first day of the later of such calendar
years. The Release will not impose any post-employment obligations on you to which you have not already agreed in writing. 
 For purposes
of this offer, “Cause” means (a) commission of an act of material fraud or dishonesty against Intel; (b) intentional refusal or willful failure to substantially carry out the lawful and reasonable instructions of the Board (other
than any such failure resulting from your disability and excluding any failure to achieve a lawful and reasonable directive following the expenditure by you of commercially reasonable best efforts); (c) conviction of, guilty plea or “no
contest” plea to a felony or to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude (where moral turpitude means so extreme a departure from ordinary standards of honesty, good morals, justice or ethics as to be shocking to the moral sense of the
community); (d) gross misconduct in connection with the performance of your duties; (e) improper disclosure of confidential information or a material violation of an Intel policy or Intel’s Code of Conduct (excluding conduct or activities
undertaken in good faith by you in the ordinary course of you performing your duties or promoting Intel); (f) breach of fiduciary duty to Intel; (g) failure to reasonably cooperate with Intel in any investigation or formal proceeding or being
found liable in a Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action or otherwise being disqualified from serving in your job (in all cases, other than due to death or disability); or (h) breach of duty of loyalty to Intel. Prior to
termination for Cause, Intel shall provide 30 days prior written notice of the grounds for Cause, and give you an opportunity within (and including all of) those 30 days to cure the alleged breach. If the breach is substantially cured during such
period, Cause will not exist on account of such breach. The parties recognize that given the egregious nature of the conduct defined as Cause, a cure may not possible. No act or failure to act on your part shall be considered “willful”
unless Intel reasonably and in good faith determines it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith or without reasonable belief that your act or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Without limitation, any act, or failure to act,
based upon express authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board with respect to such act or omission, or based upon the advice of legal counsel for Intel, shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you
in good faith and in the best interests of Intel. 

  
 4 

 A resignation for “Good Reason” means your resignation following the occurrence,
without your express, written consent, of one or more of the following conditions (whether by a single action or a series of actions): (a) a material reduction in your title, duties, responsibilities, or authority; (b) a material reduction by
Intel of your annual base salary or Target Bonus; or (c) a relocation of your principal place of employment more than 30 miles from its current location in Santa Clara, California; or (d) a failure by Intel to timely satisfy its
obligations with respect to any of the equity award grants described in this offer letter, provided that Intel has had 30 days to cure any such failure. 

Comprehensive Benefits. While employed with Intel, you will be eligible to participate in the same employee benefit plans as other
senior executives of Intel, as such employee benefit plans may be amended from time to time and on terms no less favorable than those provided to any other executive of Intel. You will receive reimbursement for business expenses on the same terms as
other senior executives of Intel and on terms no less favorable than the terms provided to any other executive of Intel. You also will receive indemnification and liability insurance coverage on terms no less favorable than the coverage provided to
any other executive of Intel or member of the Board. Additionally, you will be considered for additional equity grants, commensurate with your position, annually. 

Attorneys’ Fees. Intel will reimburse you for up to $125,000 of your reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with
the review and finalization of this offer letter and documentation of the equity awards described above, which reimbursement will occur within 2021. 

Outside Activities during Employment. During your employment, you shall devote your full business efforts and time to Intel. This
obligation, however, shall not preclude you from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable or religious activities, as long as they do not materially interfere with your job. Any outside activities, including serving on another board of directors,
must be in compliance with Intel’s Code of Conduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing (or any other written agreement between you and Intel), you may continue to serve on the board of directors of Gloo and TBC and for a period of up to six months
following the Effective Date (or until such later date as you and Intel may mutually agree), the board of directors of VMware, in each case so long as such service does not materially interfere with your duties and responsibilities to Intel. 

Company Policies/Protection of Intellectual Property. Your employment is contingent on your signing an Employment Agreement, which
outlines your obligations as an employee, including among others your obligation to protect Intel’s intellectual property (as well as confidential information of your prior employers and other third parties). You will be expected to abide by
the Company’s policies and procedures provided to you in writing and which do not contradict the terms of this offer letter, including without limitation Intel’s Employment Guidelines and Code of Conduct.

 At-Will Employment. Your employment with
Intel shall be “at will,” which means that both Intel and you have the right to end your employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without cause. The at-will nature of your
employment may not be modified or amended except by written agreement signed by an authorized member of the Board and you. 
 Tax
Withholding. All amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to any required withholdings and deductions. 
 Counterparts. This
offer letter may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. 

Section 409A. It is intended that all of the severance payments and other benefits and payments payable under this
offer letter be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and if not so exempt that they comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A of the Code, and this offer
letter will be construed and interpreted accordingly. For purposes of Code Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right
to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this offer letter, if you are deemed by
the Company at the time of your “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon separation
from service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited
distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Code Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to you prior to the earliest of (a) the expiration of the
six-month period measured from the date of your separation from service with the Company, (b) the date of your death or (c) such earlier date as permitted under Code Section 409A without the
imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining
payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. With respect to reimbursements provided to you hereunder (or otherwise) that are not exempt from Code
Section 409A, the following rules shall apply: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any one of your taxable years shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year, (ii) in the
case of any reimbursements of eligible expenses, reimbursement shall be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred and (iii) the right to reimbursement shall not be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 Entire Agreement; Forfeiture of Equity Awards. This offer letter including the
referenced documents forms the entire agreement between you and Intel and replaces all prior communications or agreements on matters related to employment at Intel. The award agreements for the equity awards described in this offer letter will be
the subject of good faith negotiation between you and Intel, and generally will follow Intel’s historical practices (for 

  
 6 

 
example, without limitation, with respect to the treatment of dividends), but in all cases, will not provide for any unilateral discretion on the part of Intel to reduce or eliminate any portion
of the award or vesting thereof (except as required by any clawback policy of general applicability to Intel’s executive officers or as required by law). You acknowledge and agree that all of your VMware equity awards that are outstanding and
unvested as of immediately prior to your termination from VMware will be forfeited by you and will terminate as a result of your resignation of employment with VMware prior to the Effective Date. You agree to inform Intel promptly if you become
entitled to additional vesting of VMware equity awards.
