-2-
Section 2.2. Capitalization. As of the date hereof, Parent has (i) 350,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, of which 306,515,974 shares are issued and outstanding, (ii) 150,000,000 shares of Series B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, of which 98,181,818 shares are issued and outstanding, (iii) 200,000,000 shares of Series C Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, of which 181,301 shares are issued and outstanding, and (iv) 100 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, of which no shares are issued and outstanding.

As of the Closing Date, all of the shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of Parent will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and issued free of preemptive or similar rights other than such rights that have been complied with or duly waived. As of the date hereof, there are no (a) outstanding securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of capital stock of Parent, (b) options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, preemptive rights, conversion rights, rights of first refusal or other rights, agreements or commitments obligating Parent to issue, transfer or sell any shares of its capital stock or (c) stockholders’ agreements, voting agreements, registration rights agreements or other rights, agreements or commitments relating to the voting, dividend rights, transfer or other disposition of its shares of capital stock, except (1) as set forth above in this Section 2.2, (2) as contemplated in any Concurrent Common Stock Purchase Agreements and the Letter Agreement (as defined below), (3) for the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Sponsor Stockholders’ Agreement, the Management Stockholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, (4) for the Denali Holding Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and awards granted or issued in substitution for awards assumed thereunder, and (5) for the Stock Option Agreement and options thereunder.

As of the date hereof, Parent has not issued for cash or agreed to issue for cash in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement shares of capital stock of Parent at a price per share (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of capital stock of Parent with a conversion or exercise price) that is less than the Per Share Purchase Price.
Section 2.3. Authorization and Valid Issuance. Parent has all corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and, at the Closing, the Shares, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate action of Parent, and no other corporate proceedings on its part are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, other than the filing by the Parent of the Parent Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. This Agreement has been, and the Shares will be at or prior to the Closing, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Parent. When executed and delivered by Parent and countersigned by the Purchaser, assuming that this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, this Agreement shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

Section 2.5. Compliance with Laws; Governmental Authorization. Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties which violation would result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Other than the filing of the Parent Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, any filings under applicable “blue sky” laws and as may be required under the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust, competition or fair trade laws in connection with the issuance of the Shares, and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, no permit, authorization, consent or approval of or by, or any notification of or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by it in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement or the Shares, the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the issuance, sale or delivery to it by Parent of the Shares.
Section 2.6. Non-Contravention / No Consents. The issue and sale of the Shares, the execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and the compliance by Parent with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the Parent Certificate, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of the maturity or performance of, or cancel or terminate, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Parent is a party or by which Parent is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Parent is subject, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any of the organizational or governing documents of Parent or any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over Parent or any of its properties or assets.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
The Purchaser represents and warrants to Parent as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (without giving effect to the Merger) that:
Section 3.1. Organization. The Purchaser is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Singapore and has all power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to own and lease its material properties and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage, except where the failure to hold such authorizations, licenses and permits would not prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 3.2. Authorization. The Purchaser has all corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate action of the Purchaser, and no other corporate proceedings on its part are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser. When executed and delivered by the Purchaser and countersigned by Parent, assuming that this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, this Agreement shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

-8-
Section 3.4. Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the compliance by the Purchaser with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of the maturity or performance of, or cancel or terminate, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any of the organizational or governing documents of the Purchaser or any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of its properties or assets.
Section 3.5. Purchase for Own Account. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares, when issued, will not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”) or under any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act solely for investment and for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or disposal in connection with, any distribution or offering of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Purchaser has no present intention of selling, transferring, assigning, pledging, hypothecating, disposing, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Shares. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares except in compliance with this Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Parent Certificate, and the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Purchaser does not have any contract, agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Shares.

Section 7.3. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all further acts and shall execute and deliver all other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.4. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or changed by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto, and a provision in this Agreement may only be waived by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such provision so waived may be sought. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 7.5. Fees and Expenses. Each of the parties shall be responsible for and shall bear any costs and/or expenses incurred by it in connection with negotiating, finalizing and entering into this Agreement, the Parent Certificate and the Shares, and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any cost or expense incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with or pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Section 7.6. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by Parent, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other. Any attempted assignment without obtaining the required consents shall be null and void.
Section 7.7. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Section 7.8. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now
-27-
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Temasek International (USA) LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 to receive for it, and on its behalf, service of process in the United States in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the foregoing address shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Purchaser.
Section 7.9. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.9.
Section 7.10. Remedies. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts of the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York or any court of the United States located in New York, New York without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this right shall not permit the Purchaser or any other Person to enforce the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreement relating thereto or to require Parent to file any legal action or proceeding against any Lender. The pursuit of specific enforcement by any party hereto will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled. The parties further agree that any court order for specific performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder will not constitute an attachment or seizure of property within the scope of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.
-28-
Section 7.11. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent that the Purchaser may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets immunity from suit, execution or attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or immunity from any other form of legal process, the Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable laws and covenants that it shall not assert sovereign immunity as a defense either to jurisdiction or to any enforcement measures that are available in any such jurisdiction, including without limitation enforcement measures that are available for a judgment rendered in a legal proceeding conducted in another jurisdiction.
Section 7.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties and/or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 7.13. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 7.14. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the sole extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of such term or provision or the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
Section 7.15. No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that any party hereto may be a partnership or limited liability company, the parties by the acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenant, agree and acknowledge that no Person other than the parties hereto shall have any obligation hereunder and no recourse under this Agreement or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys or other representatives of any party hereto, or any of their successors or assigns, or any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys or other representatives or successors or assignees of any of the foregoing (each, a “Related Party” and, collectively, the “Related Parties”), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Related Party for any obligations of the parties hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns under this Agreement or any documents or instrument delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim (whether at law or equity, in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

Section 7.16. Counterparts; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties (including by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission). No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that the Related Parties are express intended third party beneficiaries of Section 7.15.
Section 7.17. Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, and the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 (all of which shall survive the Closing and shall not terminate), and except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.15 (all of which shall survive the Closing for twenty-four (24) months), the representations and warranties made herein shall survive for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date and shall then expire and be of no further effect and shall not give rise to liability after such expiration; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party of liability for any inaccuracy or breach of such representation or warranty to the extent that any good faith allegation of such inaccuracy or breach is made in writing by the alleging party hereto to the other party hereto prior to such expiration.
