(“Dell”), Dell Technologies Inc. (“DTI”), and Denali Intermediate Inc. (“DII” and collectively with Dell and DTI, the “Guarantors”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Issuers of the Notes and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Notes.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
