This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the commitment of the undersigned (the “Equity Providers”), subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to transfer, contribute and deliver the number of shares of Company Common Stock described in Section 1 below to Expedition Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) in exchange for the equity of Parent described in Section 1 below. It is contemplated that, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Quest Software, Inc. (the “Company”), Parent and Expedition Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of such Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as an integral part of the Merger, (i) the transfer by the Equity Providers of Company Common Stock to Parent in exchange for stock of Parent, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the transfer by the Sponsors (as defined below) of cash to Parent in exchange for stock of Parent, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Funding Letter, are collectively intended to qualify as transfers within the meaning of Section 351(a) of the Code. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

1. Equity Commitment. Each Equity Provider hereby commits (its “Equity Commitment”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to transfer, contribute and deliver to Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, following the funding of the Shareholder Loan (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) from the proceeds of the Equity Financing and/or the Debt Financing and substantially concurrently with the funding of the Debt Financing and the Shareholder Loan and following the repayment of the Existing Loan (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) with the proceeds of the Shareholder Loan and the release by the lenders under such Existing Loan of all applicable Liens on such Rollover Contribution Shares existing pursuant to the Existing Loan, all of the shares of Company Common Stock set forth beside his or its name on Schedule A hereto, unless otherwise noted therein (the aggregate amount of such Company Common Stock, the “Rollover Contribution Shares”) in exchange for a pro rata (in kind and amount) share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Class A Common Stock”) based on the value of the aggregate equity contributions to Parent made in connection with the Merger at or prior to the Effective Time and assuming that the value of each Rollover Contribution Share is equal to the Merger Consideration. The Class A Common Stock shall be issued in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Stockholders Agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date by and among Parent, Sponsors, the Equity Providers and certain other investors specified therein (the

“Stockholders Agreement”), in substantially the form attached to the Transaction Support Agreement (as defined below). The capital stock of the Parent issuable to the Equity Providers and each other party providing Equity Financing shall be in the amounts and in the classes set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. Each Equity Provider hereby agrees that he or it shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that no portion of the Rollover Contribution Shares shall be transferred or otherwise disposed prior to the Closing other than pursuant to an Excluded Transfer (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement), including, without limitation, pursuant to any foreclosure with respect to any Rollover Contribution Shares that are pledged as collateral to secure indebtedness of any Equity Provider; provided, that no Equity Provider shall, in connection with such reasonable efforts, be required to refinance such indebtedness on terms that (i) are materially less favorable to such Equity Provider or (ii) require any such Equity Provider to post any collateral other than Rollover Contribution Shares or incur any expense (other than any expense that is reasonable or customary for the refinancing of a loan of this type) to consummate such refinancing.

2. Option and RSU Commitment. Each Equity Provider hereby acknowledges and agrees that immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each of the Options and Restricted Stock Units set forth beside his or its name on Schedule A hereto (such Options and Restricted Stock Units, the “Rollover Equity Awards”) will be exchanged for a stock option (a “Parent Option”) or restricted stock unit (a “Parent RSU” and, together with the Parent Options, the “Parent Equity Awards”), as applicable, pursuant to and subject to the terms provided herein, in the Stockholders Agreement and in Parent’s stock incentive plan (such plan to be adopted prior to the Effective Time with such customary terms and conditions appropriate for a private company as are mutually agreed upon by each Equity Provider and Parent, and as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof, the “Plan”), with respect to the number of shares of equity of Parent as set forth on Schedule A hereto and, if applicable, with an exercise price per share of equity of Parent as set forth on Schedule A hereto, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the Effective Time (its “Equity Award Commitment” and, together with the Equity Commitment, the “Commitments”), and (ii) any Options and Restricted Stock Units not otherwise set forth on Schedule A hereto shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without payment therefor and have no further force or effect. The exchange of an Option for a Parent Option is intended to qualify as an option substitution under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and will be construed accordingly. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Parent Equity Awards will, to the extent not vested as of the Effective Time, continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the corresponding Rollover Equity Award; (ii) the Parent Options will expire not later than the latest date on which the corresponding Option would have expired; (iii) the Parent Options will remain subject to the post-termination provisions applicable to the corresponding Option; and (iv) the Parent Equity Awards will be governed in all respects by the terms of the corresponding Option and Restricted Stock Unit, except for (A) the number and type of shares of equity of Parent subject to the Parent Option, (B) the exercise price of the Parent Option, (C) the provisions of the Plan applicable to governance, amendment, termination, administration, interpretation, transfer restrictions, drag along rights, voting proxies and similar matters, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, and (D) all other provisions of the Plan that as applied to the Parent Option would not be treated as inconsistent with satisfaction of the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). The Equity Provider acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 2 of the Merger Agreement shall not apply to the Rollover Equity Awards and that the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement will not result in any accelerated vesting of the Rollover Equity Awards.
