Section 4.4.Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject toSection 4.4(h) and receipt of any prior written approval of the Company as may be required pursuant toSection 4.2, (x) if any Initiating Tag-Along Seller proposes to transfer all or a portion of their DTI Securities equal to 10% or more of the then outstanding Common Stock to the same Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) (other than to a Permitted Transferee of such Initiating Tag-Along Seller) or (y) a Sale Transaction is entered into by the MD Stockholders that either is a Qualified Sale Transaction or has been approved by the SLP Stockholders pursuant to the Sponsor Stockholders Agreement (each of the transfers in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), a “Tag-Along Sale”), then the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall give, or direct the Company to give and the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Tag-Along Sale Notice”) of such proposed transfer to all Eligible Tag-Along Sellers with respect to such Tag-Along Sale at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such proposed transfer and the delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI

Securities by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller, including any Additional Consideration received, (iii) the identity of the purchaser (the “Tag-Along Buyer”), (iv) a copy of all definitive documents relating to such Tag-Along Sale, including all documents that the Eligible Tag-Along Seller would be required to execute in order to participate in such Tag-Along Sale and all other agreements or documents referred to, or referenced, therein, (v) a detailed summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (vi) the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of DTI Securities to be purchased from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees by the total number of DTI Securities held by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (the “Tag-Along Sale Percentage”) and (vii) an invitation to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller to irrevocably agree to include in the Tag-Along Sale up to a number of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller equal to the product of the total number of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller multiplied by the Tag-Along Sale Percentage, subject to adjustment pursuant to the Tag-Along Sale Priority and the Tag-Along Sale Proration as contemplated inSection 4.4(c) (such amount of DTI Securities with respect to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller, such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s “Tag-Along Shares”). In the event that any MD Related Party directly or indirectly receives any compensation or other consideration or benefit arising out of or in connection with the applicable Tag-Along Sale (other than anybona fide cash and/or equity compensation (whether in the form of an initial equity grant or otherwise) for service as an executive officer of the acquiring or surviving company or any of their Subsidiaries or, with respect to MD Related Parties, anybona fide commercial arrangement that is not a “Related Party Transaction” because of the proviso of the definition thereof between an MD Related Party and the proposed Tag-Along Buyer or any of its Affiliates which commercial arrangement has been binding and in full force and effect (or, in the absence of a binding legal arrangement, to the extent a course of dealing has been in place) for at least twelve (12) months prior to the date that the Tag-Along Sale Notice is provided to the Eligible Tag-Along Seller) pursuant to any non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire, or other arrangement separate from the transfer of the DTI Securities of the Company (“Additional Consideration”), the value of such Additional Consideration (as reasonably determined by the Board, subject to the consent of the SLP Stockholders not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be deemed to have been part of the consideration paid or payable to the MD Stockholders in respect of their DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale and shall be reflected in the amount offered by the Tag-Along Buyer set forth in the applicable Tag-Along Sale Notice. In the event that more than one MD Stockholder, more than one MSD Partners Stockholder or more than one SLP Stockholder, as the case may be, proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale as an Initiating Tag-Along Seller, then all such transferring MD Stockholders, MSD Partners Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be treated as the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such MD Stockholders, MSD Partners Stockholders or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be aggregated as set forth inSection 8.16, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage. Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 4.4 to the contrary, but subject toSection 4.4(c), if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is transferring Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in such Tag-Along Sale, each of the Eligible Tag-Along Sellers shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller as the proportion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options relative to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s total number of such DTI Securities that are being sold by the Initiating Tag-

Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, no DTI Securities that are subject to any vesting or similar condition may be transferred prior to such time as such DTI Securities have fully vested; provided, that it is understood that if such DTI Securities vest in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, such DTI Securities may be transferred in connection therewith in accordance with thisSection 4.4.

(b) Upon delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice, each Eligible Tag-Along Seller may elect to include all or a portion of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares in such Tag-Along Sale (Eligible Tag-Along Sellers who make such an election being an “Electing Tag-Along Seller” and, together with the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, DTI Securities in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, the “Tag-Along Sellers”), at the same price per share equivalent of Common Stock and pursuant to the same terms and conditions as agreed to by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and otherwise in accordance with thisSection 4.4, by sending an irrevocable written notice (a “Tag-Along Participation Notice”) to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date the Tag-Along Sale Notice is received by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller, indicating such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s irrevocable election, subject toSection 4.4(d), to include its Tag-Along Shares in the Tag-Along Sale and setting forth the number of Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include. Following such fifteen (15) day period, each Electing Tag-Along Seller that has delivered a Tag-Along Participation Notice shall be entitled to sell to such proposed transferee, on the same terms and conditions as, and concurrently with, the other Electing Tag-Along Sellers and the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include, which terms and conditions have been set forth in the Tag-Along Sale Notice, subject to the Tag-Along Sale Priority and the Tag-Along Sale Proration as contemplated inSection 4.4(c). Each Eligible Tag-Along Seller who does not deliver a Tag-Along Participation Notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s rights with respect to such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to include Tag-Along Shares in a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to thisSection 4.4, each Electing Tag-Along Seller must agree to make the same representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Tag-Along Buyer as made by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and any Electing Tag-Along Seller in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale transaction);provided, that:

(i) each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount (and taking into account the per share equivalent of Common Stock) of DTI Securities sold in such Tag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Tag-Along Sale (provided,however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Tag-Along Sale by any Tag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Tag-Along Sale, such Tag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant shares of Common Stock (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));

(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Electing Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale;

(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced inSection 4.4(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Tag-Along Sellerspro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Tag-Along Seller in the Tag-Along Sale transaction);

(iv) no Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Tag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to DTI Securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Person and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Tag-Along Seller; and

(v) no Stockholders that have elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be required in connection with such Tag-Along Sale transaction to agree to (A) any employee, customer or other non-solicitation, no-hire or other similar provision, (B) any non-competition or similar restrictive covenant and/or (C) any term that purports to bind any portfolio company or investment of any Electing Tag-Along Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 4.4 to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is any of the MD Stockholders (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any of their Permitted Transferees) and such Initiating Tag-Along Seller seeks to transfer Common Stock representing a majority of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the MD Stockholders immediately following the Original Closing, then the number of Tag-Along Shares that an Eligible Tag-Along Seller may include in any Tag-Along Sale pursuant to thisSection 4.4 shall be an amount equal to 100% of the equity securities in the Company, Dell and their respective Subsidiaries held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller (such right, the “Tag-Along Sale Priority”). Further, in the event that Stockholders having the right to participate in a Tag-Along Sale (including the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, the “Participating Sellers”) have elected to include more DTI Securities in the aggregate than the Tag-Along Buyer is willing to purchase (the “Tag-Along Demand”), the number of DTI Securities permitted to be sold by the Participating Sellers shall be reduced such that each Tag-Along Seller is permitted to sell only itspro rata share of the Tag-Along Demand (in proportion to the number of DTI Securities held by each Participating Seller) (the “Tag-Along Sale Proration”);provided that, in a Tag-Along Sale subject to Tag-Along Sale Priority rights, the number of DTI Securities to be sold by Participating Sellers with Tag-Along Sale Priority shall not be reduced.

(d) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Tag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Tag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price

and, subject toSection 4.4(b)(i) through(v), other terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to any Electing Tag-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Tag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Tag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of thisSection 4.4;provided, that (i) if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Tag-Along Sale after such time that any Stockholder has elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the terms of thisSection 4.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and each Electing Tag-Along Seller of such amendment, restatement, modification and/or supplement and (ii) each such Electing Tag-Along Seller shall have the right to withdraw its Tag-Along Participation Notice by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such notice from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 4.4 to the contrary, thisSection 4.4 shall not apply to (i) any transfers of DTI Securities to a Permitted Transferee of the transferring Stockholder and/or (ii) any transfer of Common Stock in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise), it being understood that participation rights in connection with transfers of Common Stock in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise) shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(f) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or the Tag-Along Sellers in connection with such Tag-Along Sale shall be allocated and borne on apro rata basis by each Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that thisSection 4.4(f) shall not prevent any Tag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in apro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Tag-Along Sellers in such Tag-Along Sale.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale within one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with thisSection 4.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller may not then effect such proposed Tag-Along Sale without again complying with the provisions of thisSection 4.4;provided, that if such proposed Tag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.

(h) The “tag-along” rights described in thisSection 4.4 shall survive the Closing and shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) such time following the Closing Date that the MD Stockholders no longer beneficially own Common Stock representing a majority of the Common Stock beneficially

owned by the MD Stockholders immediately following the Original Closing Date;provided, that in addition to any other applicable provisions in thisSection 4.4 (including the Tag-Along Sale Priority and the Tag-Along Sale Proration), such transfer of DTI Securities shall also be subject to the Priority Sell-Down pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;provided,further, that any registered offering of DTI Securities shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement.

Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding.
