This TENDER AND VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated September 20, 2009, among Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), DII – Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), [STOCKHOLDER] (“Stockholder”), and Perot Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”).
WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may hereafter be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to commence an offer to purchase for cash all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, including all of the outstanding Shares Beneficially Owned by Stockholder; and
WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that Stockholder agrees, and Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a) “Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” with respect to any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially Owned by a Person shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all other Persons with whom such Person would constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.
(b) Capitalized terms used and not defined herein and defined in the Merger Agreement have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement notwithstanding any termination of the Merger Agreement.
2. Tender of Shares.
(a) Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender or cause to be tendered to Merger Sub pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, not later than the 5th Business Day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement and Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Existing Shares”), and not to withdraw the Existing Shares, or cause the Existing Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time (except
following the termination or expiration of the Offer without Merger Sub purchasing all shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer in accordance with its terms). If Stockholder acquires record ownership of any outstanding shares of Common Stock after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, whether upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities, or by means of purchase, dividend, distribution or otherwise (together with the Existing Shares, the “Shares”), Stockholder shall validly tender or cause to be tendered to Merger Sub pursuant to and in accordance with the Offer, not later than the 5th Business Day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1 of the Merger Agreement and Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act or, if acquired later than such time, on or before the 5th Business Day after such acquisition but in any event prior to the Expiration Date and not withdraw such Shares, or cause such Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time (except following the termination or expiration of the Offer without Merger Sub purchasing all shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer in accordance with its terms). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall require Stockholder to exercise any option to purchase shares of Common Stock or to tender any securities not outstanding at the relevant time. Stockholder acknowledges that his, her or its obligations to tender or cause to be tendered, and not to withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, the Shares to Merger Sub contained herein require Stockholder to tender the Shares to Merger Sub in the event that Parent or Merger Sub adjust the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement in response to a Superior Proposal pursuant to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s “match” rights under Section 5.3(c) of the Merger Agreement; provided, that following any such adjustment to the Merger Agreement (1) the terms and conditions of the Offer shall be no less favorable to Stockholder than as described in the Merger Agreement on the date hereof and (2) the consideration paid to the Stockholder for Shares tendered in the Offer is the highest consideration paid to any other holder of Common Stock for shares of Common Stock tendered in the Offer; provided further, that the Stockholder’s obligations to tender or cause to be tendered, and not to withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, the Shares shall cease to be binding on the Stockholder in the event that Parent or Merger Sub adjusts the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement in any way other than as provided in items (1) and (2) of the foregoing proviso. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares acquired by Stockholder after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement from any Person who is obligated under an agreement among such Person, Parent and Merger Sub, which Agreement is substantially similar to this Agreement (a “Parallel Agreement”) that do not constitute “Shares” under such Parallel Agreement shall not constitute Shares under this Agreement for any purpose.
(b) Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any Shares in the Offer, including the Shares Beneficially Owned by Stockholder, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer.
(c) Parent and Merger Sub shall return to Stockholder all materials tendered by Stockholder to Merger Sub, promptly after the termination or expiration of the Offer without Merger Sub purchasing all Shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer in accordance with its terms.
(d) Stockholder hereby agrees to permit Parent and Merger Sub to publish and disclose in the Offer Documents, and, if Company Stockholder Approval is required under
2
applicable Law, the Proxy Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC), his, her or its identity and ownership of Common Stock and the nature of his, her or its obligations, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.
3. Provisions Concerning Company Common Stock.
(a) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent in advance, during the term of this Agreement, the Stockholder irrevocably agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares, whether currently owned or hereafter acquired, at any meeting of the holders of Common Stock, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Common Stock: (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the terms thereof, the approval of the Merger and each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and any actions required in furtherance thereof and hereof; (ii) against the following actions, agreements or transactions (other than the Merger, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (A) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) a sale, lease or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or a reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) (1) any change in a majority of the persons who constitute the Board of Directors, (2) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (3) any other material change in the Company’s corporate structure or business, or (4) any other action which, in the case of each of the matters referred to in clauses (C) (1), (2) or (3) is intended or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purpose of or adversely affect the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. Stockholder shall not enter into any Contract with any Person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in thisSection 3.
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the Stockholder from taking (or omitting to take) any action in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or otherwise fulfilling his or her fiduciary obligations as a director or officer of the Company.
4. Other Covenants, Representations and Warranties. As of the date of this Agreement, Stockholder hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Ownership of Shares. Stockholder is the record and Beneficial Owner of the number of Shares set forth onSchedule I hereof. Stockholder has good, valid and marketable title to the Existing Shares and, immediately prior to the transfer of Shares to Merger Sub in the Offer will have good, valid and marketable title to the Shares, in each case, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances created by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement and other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws). Without limiting the foregoing, Stockholder has sole voting power and sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth inSections 2 and3 hereof, sole power of disposition, sole power of conversion, sole power to demand appraisal rights and sole power to enter into and perform all of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, in each case, with respect to all of the Existing
3
Shares set forth onSchedule I hereto, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights. If Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership but not record ownership, of any outstanding shares of Common Stock after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, whether upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities, or by means of purchase, dividend or distribution or otherwise, Stockholder shall (i) on or prior to the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of such shares or, if later, as soon as practicable after Stockholder has actual knowledge that Stockholder has acquired Beneficial Ownership thereof, direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the record owner of such shares to agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and (ii) direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the record owner of such shares to (1) validly tender such shares to Merger Sub pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and not to withdraw such shares from the Offer, at the time or times and in the same manner as provided for the Shares in Section 2(a), and (2) vote such shares in the same manner as provided for the Shares in Section 3(a). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to any shares acquired by Stockholder after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement from any Person who is obligated under a Parallel Agreement that do not constitute “Shares” under such Parallel Agreement.
(b) Power; Binding Agreement. Stockholder has the full legal capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform all of Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Stockholder will not violate any other agreement to which Stockholder is a party including any voting agreement, stockholders agreement or voting trust. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws relating to creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which Stockholder is Trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. If Stockholder is married and Stockholder’s Shares constitute community property, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of, Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable against such person in accordance with its terms.
(c) No Conflicts. Except for filings under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, if applicable, (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any state or federal public body or authority is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by Stockholder and the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) none of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or result in any breach of any applicable organizational documents of Stockholder, if any, (B) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract or other instrument or obligation of any kind to which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder or any of Stockholder’s properties or
4
assets may be bound, or (C) violate any Law or Order applicable to Stockholder or any of Stockholder’s properties or assets.
(d) No Encumbrances. Except as applicable in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 2 hereof, Stockholder’s Shares and any certificates representing such Shares are now, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will be, held by Stockholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Stockholder, free and clear of all Encumbrances, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements, except for any such Encumbrances, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements arising hereunder.
(e) No Finder’s Fees. No broker, investment banker, financial adviser or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial adviser’s or other similar fee or commission from Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by Stockholder.
(f) No Solicitation. Stockholder shall not, in his, her or its capacity as such, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, endorse or knowingly take any actions to encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to result in an Acquisition Proposal, except as permitted by Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement. If Stockholder receives any such inquiry or proposal, then Stockholder shall promptly advise the Company of the existence thereof. Stockholder will immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent and its affiliates) conducted by Stockholder heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.
(g) Restrictions on Transfer, Proxies and Non-interference. Except as applicable in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 2 hereof, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) except (A) as contemplated by this Agreement and (B) for transfers to Stockholder’s family or trusts established for the benefit of members of Stockholder’s family (provided that the transferee of such shares agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof in form and substance satisfactory to Parent), offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any Contract or other arrangement or understanding with respect to, or consent to the offer for sale, sale, transfer, trade, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any or all of the Shares or any interest therein; (ii) except as contemplated by this Agreement, grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Shares; or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement.
(h) Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Stockholder may have.
(i) Reliance on Agreement. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into, and causing Merger Sub to enter into, the Merger Agreement in reliance
5
upon Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement is granted in consideration for the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub.

(b) No Conflicts.

6. No Transfer Requests. Stockholder covenants and agrees that Stockholder shall not request that the Company, and Company shall not, register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of Stockholder’s Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement (including the provisions ofSections 2 and4(g)).

(j) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
(k) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not be enforceable by, any Person who or which is not a party hereto.
