Branch, as term loan B administrative agent and as collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as term loan A / revolver administrative agent and swingline lender, and certain other financial institutions as agents, issuing banks and/or lenders,

On December 20, 2018, the Credit Parties entered into a fourth amendment to the Senior
Secured Credit Agreement (the Fourth Amendment) to (1) increase the aggregate revolving commitments available under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement by $1,170 million to $4,500 million, (2) obtain a new senior
secured term loan
A-4
facility consisting of an aggregate principal amount of $1,650 million term
A-4
loans maturing on December 20, 2023 (the Term
A-4
Loans) and (3) obtain a new senior secured term loan
A-5
facility consisting of an aggregate principal amount of $5,000 million term
A-5
loans, of which $2,016 million was drawn on December 21, 2018, after being reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the net proceeds of the Term A-4 Loans and a margin loan, with an initial maturity date of the
earlier of February 8, 2019 and the date on which the merger agreement in connection with the Class V Transaction (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) is terminated by Dell or any of its affiliates in accordance with its terms, subject to
extension as described in the Fourth Amendment (the Term
A-5
Loans). The aggregate principal amount of the Term
A-5
Loans will be reduced on a dollar for
dollar basis by the net proceeds of certain alternative financing. The Term
A-4
Loans are subject to quarterly amortization payments in amounts set forth in the Fourth Amendment. The Term
A-5
Loans have no amortization. Amounts outstanding under the Term
A-4
Loans and Term
A-5
Loans were drawn on December 20, 2018 and
December 21, 2018, respectively.
The Term
A-4
Loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging
from 1.25% to 2.00% or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% to 1.00%, in each case determined based on Dells public corporate credit rating from each of S&P and Moodys in accordance with the pricing grid set forth in the
Fourth Amendment. The Term
A-5
Loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.75% or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75%.
The borrowers will be required to prepay outstanding Term
A-4
Loans and Term
A-5
Loans, subject to certain exceptions, with a portion of certain excess cash flow, net cash proceeds of certain
non-ordinary
course asset sales or other dispositions
of property, and net cash proceeds of certain debt not permitted to be incurred under the term loan facilities, in each case on terms substantially similar to the terms applicable to the senior secured term loan
A-2
facility under the second refinancing amendment. In addition, the borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding Term
A-4
Loans and Term
A-5
Loans at any time without premium or penalty.
Except as described in the foregoing, the Term
A-4
Loans and Term
A-5
Loans have substantially the same terms as the senior secured term loan
A-2
facility under the second
refinancing amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which is described in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form
8-K
filed on October 24, 2017 and was filed as Exhibit 10.1 thereto. The Senior
Secured Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (including an event of default upon a change of control).
Proceeds from the Term
A-4
Loans and Term
A-5
Loans and proceeds from the margin loan financing in aggregate principal amount of $1,350 million, together with Dell Technologies pro rata
portion of the special cash dividend to be paid by VMware, Inc. in connection with the Class V Transaction, and cash on hand at Dell Technologies and its subsidiaries, will be used to fund the aggregate cash consideration and the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Class V Transaction. Any excess proceeds of the Term
A-4
Loans are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. If the Class V Transaction is not
completed, the borrowers intend to repay all outstanding Term
A-4
Loans and Term
A-5
Loans.
Certain of the lenders, agents, issuing banks and/or their affiliates have provided Dell Technologies and its affiliates with financial advisory, commercial
banking and investment banking services.
