A proxy may be given by any person who held shares of Dell Common Stock on the Record Date. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to sign and date the enclosed GOLD proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Your latest-dated proxy is the only one that counts, so you may return the GOLD proxy card even if you have already delivered any other proxy. Please do not return any proxy card sent to you by Dell.

Mr. Krongard’s principal occupation is serving as the Lead Director of Under Armour Inc. where he chairs the Audit Committee. He is also a member of the Board of Iridium Communications Inc. and In-Q-Tel.

Prior to this appointment, Mr. Krongard served as Counselor to the Director of Central Intelligence from February 2, 1998, after a 29-year career in investment banking.

Mr. Krongard had previously worked in various capacities at Alex. Brown Incorporated, the nation's oldest investment banking firm.

Based upon Mr. Krongard's experience as a leader in both the private and public sectors, having served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alex. Brown Incorporated, the nation’s oldest investment banking firm, and as Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Icahn/SAM believe that Mr. Krongard has the requisite set of skills to serve as a Board member of Dell.

Other than as stated herein (including in the Annexes and Schedules hereto), there are no arrangements or understandings between members of Icahn/SAM and any of the Icahn/SAM Nominees or any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination of the Icahn/SAM Nominees described herein is to be made, other than the consent by each of the Icahn/SAM Nominees to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director of Dell if elected as such at the Annual Meeting. Other than as stated herein, none of the Icahn/SAM Nominees is a party adverse to Dell or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to Dell or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.

On August 1, 2013, the Icahn Direct Beneficial Owners filed an action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Dell and the members of the Board, including Michael Dell. The complaint challenges certain actions taken by the Board in relation to a going-private merger (the “Merger”) and an alternative recapitalization of Dell proposed by certain of the Icahn Participants and others. In particular, the complaint challenges actions taken by the Board in relation to a special meeting to vote on the Merger and the failure of the Board to hold an annual meeting of stockholders at which the Icahn Participants intend to seek the stockholders of Dell to vote for new directors who would support the recapitalization proposal. The complaint seeks both injunctive and declaratory relief. The Icahn Direct Beneficial Owners expect the defendants to vigorously defend against the complaint and there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the matter.

Each Icahn/SAM Nominee presently is, and if elected as a director of Dell would be, an “independent director” within the meaning of (i) the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market applicable to board composition, and (ii) Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. No Icahn/SAM Nominee is a member of Dell’s compensation, nominating or audit committee that is not independent under any such committee’s applicable independence standards.

Icahn/SAM do not expect that the Icahn/SAM Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but, in the event any Icahn/SAM Nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed GOLD proxy card will be voted for substitute nominee(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under Dell’s Bylaws and applicable law. In addition, Icahn/SAM reserve the right to nominate substitute person(s) if Dell makes or announces any changes to its Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any Icahn/SAM Nominee, to the extent this is not prohibited under Dell’s Bylaws and applicable law. In any such case, shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed GOLD proxy card will be voted for such substitute nominee(s). Icahn/SAM reserve the right to nominate additional person(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under Dell’s Bylaws and applicable law, if Dell increases the size of the Board above its existing size or increases the number of directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding sentence are without prejudice to the position of Icahn/SAM that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board or to reconstitute or reconfigure the classes on which the current directors serve constitutes an unlawful manipulation of Dell’s corporate machinery.

While Icahn and SAM currently intend to vote all of their shares in favor of the election of the Icahn/SAM Nominees, Icahn and SAM reserve the right to vote some or all of their shares for some or all of Dell’s director nominees, as Icahn and SAM see fit, in order to achieve a Board composition that Icahn and SAM believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. Icahn and SAM would only expect to vote some or all of their shares for some or all of Dell’s director nominees in the event it were to become apparent to Icahn and SAM, based on the projected voting results at such time, that less than all of the Icahn/SAM Nominees would be elected at the Annual Meeting and that by voting the Icahn and SAM shares, Icahn and SAM could help elect the Dell nominees that Icahn and SAM believe are the most qualified to serve as directors and thus help achieve a Board composition that Icahn and SAM believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. Stockholders should understand, however, that all shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed GOLD proxy card will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted in accordance with Icahn/SAM’s recommendations specified herein and in accordance with the discretion of the persons named on the GOLD proxy card with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

ICAHN/SAM STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF MR. CHRISTODORO, MR. DEBES, MR. ICAHN, MR. JONES, MR. MERCHANT, MR. MEYERS, MR. NINIVAGGI, MR. VAN OPPEN, MR. SILVER, DR. SINGH, MR. WILLMOTT AND MR. KRONGARD BY MARKING, SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED TO YOU WITH THIS PROXY STATEMENT OR BY USING THE GOLD PROXY CARD TO VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR INTERNET. IF YOU HAVE SIGNED THE GOLD PROXY CARD AND NO MARKING IS MADE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GIVEN A DIRECTION TO VOTE ALL THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THE GOLD PROXY CARD FOR THE ELECTION OF

MR. CHRISTODORO, MR. DEBES, MR. ICAHN, MR. JONES, MR. MERCHANT, MR. MEYERS, MR. NINIVAGGI, MR. VAN OPPEN, MR. SILVER, DR. SINGH, MR. WILLMOTT AND MR. KRONGARD.

OTHER PROPOSALS

Other than as set forth above, Icahn/SAM are not currently aware of any other proposals to be brought before the Annual Meeting. Should other proposals be brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named on the GOLD proxy card will vote on such proposals in their discretion (provided, however, that such persons named on the GOLD proxy card will be permitted to use such discretionary authority only for matters that they do not know, a reasonable time before the solicitation, are to be presented at the Annual Meeting).

VOTING PROCEDURES

According to Dell’s Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, holders of shares of Dell Common Stock, at the close of business on the Record Date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting.

According to Dell’s Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election.

A quorum must be present, in person or by proxy, in order for Dell to hold the Annual Meeting. A quorum is the presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The shares of Common Stock represented by a proxy marked “withhold” or “abstain” and broker non-votes (as described below) will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum.

As explained in the detailed instructions on your GOLD proxy card, there are four ways you may vote. You may:

1. Sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Icahn/SAM recommend that you vote on the GOLD proxy card even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

2. Vote via the Internet by following the voting instructions on the GOLD proxy card or the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record.

3. Vote by telephone by following the voting instructions on the GOLD proxy card or the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record.

4. Vote in person by attending the Annual Meeting. Written ballots will be distributed to Stockholders who wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares of Common Stock through

a bank, broker or other custodian, you must obtain a legal proxy from such custodian in order to vote in person at the meeting.

To submit a proxy with voting instructions by telephone please call the telephone number listed on the GOLD proxy card. Proxies may also be submitted over the Internet. Please refer to the GOLD proxy card for the website information. In each case Stockholders will be required to provide the unique control number which has been printed on each Stockholder's GOLD proxy card. In addition to the instructions that appear on the GOLD proxy card, step-by-step instructions will be provided by a recorded telephone message for those Stockholders submitting proxies by telephone or at the designated website for those Stockholders submitting proxies over the Internet. Stockholders submitting their proxies with voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet will receive confirmation on the telephone that their vote by telephone was successfully submitted, and may provide an e-mail address for confirmation that their vote by Internet was successfully submitted.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to complete the enclosed GOLD proxy and return it in the enclosed self-addressed, prepaid envelope. All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted. If you specify a choice with respect to any item by marking the appropriate box on the proxy, the shares of Common Stock will be voted in accordance with that specification. IF NO SPECIFICATION IS MADE, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL BE VOTED (I) FOR MR. CHRISTODORO, MR. DEBES, MR. ICAHN, MR. JONES, MR. MERCHANT, MR. MEYERS, MR. NINIVAGGI, MR. VAN OPPEN, MR. SILVER, DR. SINGH, MR. WILLMOTT AND MR. KRONGARD; (II) [ · ]; (III) [ · ]; AND (IV) IN THE PROXY HOLDERS' DISCRETION AS TO OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING.

BROKER NON-VOTES

If you hold your shares of Common Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee and do not provide voting instructions to the record holder of the shares of Common Stock, your shares of Common Stock will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In this case, a “broker non-vote” occurs. Shares of Common Stock constituting broker non-votes are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether Stockholders have approved a matter, but they are counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

The election of directors at the Annual Meeting is a “non-routine matter” and brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote your shares of Common Stock on “non-routine matters.” Therefore, unless you provide specific voting instructions to your broker, your broker will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares of Common Stock for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and your shares of Common Stock will not be voted for the election of directors. If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card with this Proxy Statement. Icahn/SAM strongly encourage you to vote your shares of Common Stock by following the instructions provided on the voting instruction card.

UNLESS YOU PROVIDE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE BROKER HOLDING YOUR SHARES ON YOUR BEHALF, THE BROKER WILL NOT HAVE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO VOTE YOUR SHARES FOR ANY OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT OR FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

According to Dell’s Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, the stockholder vote on Proposal 2 – [ · ] requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the

matter. Abstentions will therefore have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Brokers are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Therefore, broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Proxies will be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, the Internet, e-mail, newspapers and other publications of general distribution and in person. Officers and certain employees of members of Icahn/SAM may assist in the solicitation of proxies without any additional remuneration.

King a fee not to exceed $[ · ]. To date, D.F. King has received $[ · ] for its services. Icahn/SAM have also agreed to reimburse D.F. King for all documented expenses and to indemnify D.F.

King will solicit proxies for the Annual Meeting from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders.

Icahn/SAM may reimburse banks, brokers, custodians or other record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with forwarding, at Icahn/SAM’s request, all materials related to this solicitation of proxies to the beneficial owners of shares of Dell Common Stock they hold of record.

In addition to the costs related to the engagement of D.F. King, costs related to the Icahn/SAM solicitation of proxies include expenditures for printing, postage, legal services, public relations, and other related items. Total costs, including the fees of D.F. King set forth above, are expected to be approximately $[ · ]. Total payments of costs to date, including payments to D.F. King set forth above, are approximately $[ · ]. SAM and Icahn have agreed to share on a proportionate basis the expenses of D.F. King, the expenses of public relations advisors, and the expenses of printing and distributing this Proxy Statement. SAM and Icahn will each pay the expenses of their own legal advisors.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting by or on behalf of Icahn/SAM is being borne by Icahn/SAM. Icahn/SAM will not seek reimbursement of the cost of the solicitation from Dell.

information concerning directors and executive officers of
southeastern ASSET management, inc. and longleaf partners fund who are participants

SAM is a participant in this solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting.

Principal Businesses of SAM and Longleaf

SAM is an investment advisor registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. SAM serves as an investment advisor to various individual clients, institutions including qualified retirement plans, endowment funds and to the four series or portfolios of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust, a registered investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Principal Office of SAM and Longleaf

The address of the principal business and the address of the principal office of SAM and Longleaf is 6410 Poplar Avenue, Suite 900, Memphis, Tennessee 38119.

Beneficial and Record Ownership of SAM and Longleaf

Shares of Dell Common Stock were acquired on behalf of the investment advisory clients of SAM under sole or shared discretionary authority granted to SAM. None of the shares of Dell Common Stock are owned by or on behalf of SAM or by any of its directors or officers.

The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Dell Common Stock beneficially owned by SAM is 69,470,829 shares, constituting approximately 4.0% of the shares of Dell Common Stock outstanding. This amount excludes 6,476,800 European style options that are only exercisable on the expiration date of the options and will not be exercisable within the next 60 days. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on the number of shares disclosed as outstanding as of August 5, 2013 by Dell in its Revised Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2013.

	Common Shares Held			% of outstanding Common Shares

Sole:		34,032,561			2.0	%
Shared:		27,939,000	*		1.6	%

Total		69,470,829	**		4.0	%

*Consists of shares owned by Longleaf. This amount excludes 6,476,800 European style options that are only exercisable on the expiration date of the options and will not be exercisable within the next 60 days.

**Does not include 352,500 shares held by one non-discretionary account over which neither SAM nor Longleaf has either voting or dispositive authority. Beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed with respect to these shares.

	Common Shares Held			% of outstanding Common Shares

Sole:		41,531,829			2.4	%
Shared:		27,939,000	*		1.6	%
None:		0			0.0	%

Total		69,470,829	**		4.0	%

For avoidance of doubt, neither SAM nor Mr. O. Mason Hawkins, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SAM, in the event he could be deemed to be an indirect beneficial owner of the shares of Dell Common Stock reported by SAM through the exercise of voting control and/or dispositive power over the shares of Dell Common Stock as the result of his official positions or ownership of voting securities of SAM, owns any shares of Dell Common Stock for its or his own account and each disclaims beneficial interest in any of the shares of Dell Common Stock referenced above.

Other than as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, to the best of SAM’s knowledge, neither SAM in this solicitation, nor any of SAM’s associates, has any substantial interests, direct or indirect, by security holding or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon pursuant to this Proxy Statement. Other than as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, to the best of SAM’s knowledge, neither SAM nor any of SAM’s associates has any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any future employment by Dell or its affiliates, or any future transactions to which Dell or any of its affiliates will or may be a party.

Securities Purchased or Sold

Except as set forth in Schedule II hereto, neither SAM nor, to the best of SAM’s knowledge, any person named on Schedule I hereto, has effected any transaction in any Common Stock within the last two years.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of Dell

Except for (i) the D.F. King Engagement described herein under the section entitled “Solicitation of Proxies”, (ii) the Joint Filing Agreements by and among SAM and Mr. O. Mason Hawkins in respect of the Schedule 13D filings in respect of Dell described herein under “Background of this Solicitation”, (iii) its relationship with Icahn (as further described and defined below), (iv) as described above in this Annex A, and (v) the investment relationships described below, SAM is not, or was not within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangements or understandings with any person with respect to any securities of Dell, including, but not limited to joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

With respect to SAM and each SAM Nominee (collectively, the “SAM Participants”), except as set forth in this Proxy Statement or the Annexes attached hereto, (i) such SAM Participant is not, nor was within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of Dell, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies; and (ii) neither such SAM Participant nor any of such SAM Participant’s associates have any arrangement or understanding with any person

A-2

with respect to (A) any future employment by Dell or its affiliates or (B) any future transactions to which Dell or any of its affiliates will or may be a party.

Except as described herein, none of the SAM Nominees beneficially owns any interest in securities of Dell and none of the SAM Nominees will receive any special compensation in connection with such solicitation of proxies from Dell stockholders. Each of the SAM Nominees is party to an Indemnification Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule III to this Annex A, pursuant to which SAM has agreed to indemnify such SAM Nominee in certain instances. Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement or the Annexes attached hereto and as provided in the Indemnification Agreement, none of the SAM Nominees will receive any compensation from SAM or any of its affiliates in connection with this proxy solicitation.

SAM has agreed to act in concert with Icahn solely for the purposes of promoting the transactions and proposals contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement among SAM and the Icahn Direct Beneficial Owners, dated June 18, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) and the May 9 Board Letter, including urging stockholders to vote against the Proposed Going Private Transaction, and the joint solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting and the Annual Meeting. Based on the foregoing, SAM and Icahn have formed a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and may be deemed to beneficially own 225,949,479 shares of Dell Common Stock, constituting approximately 12.9% of the 1,757,886,137 shares outstanding. However, SAM expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 156,478,650 shares of Dell Common Stock beneficially owned by the Icahn Beneficial Owners. SAM, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, also expressly retains the sole voting and investment power of the shares of Dell Common Stock it beneficially owns.

The powers of disposition with respect to shares of Dell Common Stock owned by discretionary private accounts of SAM are established in written investment advisory agreements between clients and SAM, which are entered into in the normal and usual course of the business of SAM as a registered investment advisor and which are generally applicable to all securities purchased for the benefit of each such discretionary private account.

The written investment advisory agreements with clients generally do not contain provisions relating to borrowing of funds to finance the acquisition of the shares of common stock, acquisition of control, transfer of securities, joint ventures, or any of the other transactions listed in the instructions to Item 7 of Schedule 13D other than voting of proxies. In connection with voting, SAM may be allowed or directed to vote the proxies received by accounts classified as “discretionary” or “shared” accounts; such authority is generally retained by the clients for accounts classified as “non-discretionary”.

2. Indemnification with Respect to the Proxy Solicitation. (a) Southeastern shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify you and hold you harmless if you are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), arising out of or relating to being named by Southeastern as a Nominee or references to you as such in Southeastern’s materials relating to the Proxy Solicitation, or otherwise in connection with the Proxy Solicitation, against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by you in connection with such Proceeding.

(b) You shall provide Southeastern with notice of any Proceeding as to which you may be entitled to seek indemnification under Paragraph 2(a).

FORM OF NOMINEE AGREEMENT

ICAHN CAPITAL LP

___________, 2013

To the undersigned potential nominee:

This will confirm our understanding as follows:

You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the “Slate”) to stand for election as a director of Dell Inc. (“Dell”) in connection with a proxy contest with management of Dell in respect of the election of directors of Dell at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Dell (the “Annual Meeting”), expected to be held during the summer of 2013, or a special meeting of shareholders of Dell called for a similar purpose (the “Proxy Contest”).

Icahn Capital LP (“Icahn”) agrees to pay the costs of the Proxy Contest.

In addition, upon our filing of a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which indicates that Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, intends to nominate you for election at the Annual Meeting, you will be entitled to be paid $25,000 by Icahn unless (i) you are elected to serve as a director of Dell at the Annual Meeting or a special meeting of shareholders of Dell called for a similar purpose or (ii) you are appointed or nominated as a director in connection with a settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Dell, in which cases, you will not receive any payment from Icahn in connection with the Proxy Contest. Payment to you pursuant to this paragraph, if any, will be made by Icahn, subject to the terms hereof, upon the earliest of (i) the certification of the results of the election in respect of the Proxy Contest, (ii) the settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Dell but only to the extent you are not elected or appointed as a director in connection with such settlement, or (iii) the withdrawal of the Proxy Contest by Icahn. [Note: This paragraph is not included in the Nominee Agreement of Mr. Ninivaggi, Mr. Christodoro or Mr. Krongard.]

You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace nominees who, such as yourself, have agreed to serve on the Slate and later change their minds and determine not to seek election. Accordingly, the Slate is relying upon your agreement to seek election. In that connection, you are being supplied with a questionnaire in which you will provide Icahn with information necessary for Icahn to make appropriate disclosure both to Dell and for use in creating the proxy material to be sent to shareholders of Dell and to be filed with the SEC. You have agreed that (i) you will immediately complete and sign the questionnaire and return it to Andrew Langham, Assistant General Counsel, Icahn Enterprises LP, 767 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4700, New York, NY 10153, Tel: (212) 702-4382, Email: alangham@sfire.com, and (ii) your responses to the questions contained therein will be true and correct in all respects. In addition, you have agreed that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute the attached instrument directed to Dell informing Dell that you consent to being nominated by Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, for election as a director of Dell and, if elected, consent to serving as a director of Dell. Upon being notified that we have chosen you, we may forward that instrument and your completed questionnaire (or summaries thereof) to Dell.

Icahn hereby agrees that, so long as you actually serve on the Slate, Icahn will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by you in the event that (i) you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof relating solely to your role as a nominee for director of Dell on the Slate (a “Proceeding”) or (ii) you are called to testify or give a deposition in any Proceeding (whether or not you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to such Proceeding), including, in each case, the advancement to you of all reasonable attorneys’ costs and expenses incurred by you in connection

S-III-B-1

with any Proceeding. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue (i) in the event that Icahn determines to withdraw the Slate or remove you from the Slate and (ii) after the election has taken place but only for events which occur prior to such election and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Icahn is not defending, indemnifying or holding you harmless for any action taken by you or on your behalf which occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the Annual Meeting or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee of the Slate for election to Dell’s Board of Directors or for any actions taken by you as a director of Dell, if you are elected or appointed. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide you a defense, indemnity or the right to be held harmless: (i) in the event you are found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Contest unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; or (ii) if you acted in a manner which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that you shall make any claim for defense, indemnification or being held harmless hereunder, you shall promptly notify Icahn in the event of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened. In addition, with respect to any such claim, Icahn shall be entitled to control your defense with counsel chosen by Icahn. Icahn shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, Icahn may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.

Each of us recognizes that should you be elected to the Board of Directors of Dell all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duty to the shareholders of Dell and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and Icahn which governs the decisions which you will make as a director of Dell.

Should the foregoing agree with your understanding, please so indicate in the space provided below, whereupon this letter will become a binding agreement between us.

	Very truly yours,

	ICAHN CAPITAL LP
