(e) Subsidiaries.

None of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i) the Company Charter Documents, (ii) any judgment, order, writ, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Person, or (iii)(A) any mortgage, indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which such Person is a party or by which it is bound or (B) the Denali Debt (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if not in effect, would result in such a violation or default), except (in the case of (ii) or (iii)(A)) such as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) Litigation. No actions (including, without limitation, derivative actions), suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries at law or in equity in any court or before any other governmental authority that (i) if adversely determined would (alone or in the aggregate) result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to enjoin, either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

No claim has been asserted to the Company in writing or, to the knowledge of the Company, orally that is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the Company’s or the Company’s subsidiaries’ use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of such Intellectual Property, unless such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries, and the conduct of their business, as currently conducted, does not infringe on or otherwise violate the rights of any Person, unless such infringement would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there are no written claims pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing and presented to the Company to such effect.
(k) Financial Statements. The Company has delivered or made available to each Investor its audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2015 (the “Company Audited Financial Statements”) and its unaudited financial statements as of and for the three (3) month period ended May 1, 2015 (the “Interim Company Financial Statements,” together with the Company Audited Financial Statements, the “Company Financial Statements”). The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Company Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject in the case of the Interim Company Financial Statements to normal year-end audit adjustments. The Company has no material liabilities (contingent, or otherwise) that are required to be reflected on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP except for (a) liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved against as of the date of the Interim Company Financial Statements, (b) liabilities or obligations incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, (c) current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Interim Company Financial Statements and (d) liabilities or obligations that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Capitalization. The Company’s total authorized share capital consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, all of which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing and indirectly but wholly owned by Denali (the “Equity Securities”). All of the outstanding Equity Securities of the Company have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are as of the date of this Agreement no options, warrants or rights to purchase Equity Securities of the Company authorized, issued or outstanding, and the Company is not obligated in any other manner to issue shares of its Equity Securities. There are no restrictions on the transfer of Equity Securities of the Company, other than those imposed by the Company Charter Documents as of the date hereof, or relevant state and federal securities laws, and no holder of any Equity Security of the Company or other Person is entitled to preemptive or similar statutory or contractual rights, either arising pursuant to any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or that are otherwise binding upon the Company. The offer and sale of all Equity Securities of the Company issued before the Closing Date complied with applicable federal and state securities laws. No Person has the right to demand or other rights to cause the Company to file any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to any Equity Securities of the Company presently outstanding or that may be subsequently issued, or any right to participate in any such registration statement. The Indebtedness of the Company consists, immediately prior to the Closing, of the Indebtedness set forth in Subsection 2(l) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
(m) Solvency. The Company, before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein, including without limitation the sale and issuance by the Company, and purchase
-4-
by the Investors, of the Notes, is Solvent. “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “fair value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed the amount of all “liabilities of such Person, contingent or otherwise”, as of such date, as such quoted terms are determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, (b) the “present fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the liability of such Person on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, as such quoted terms are determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, (c) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct its business, and (d) such Person will be able to pay its debts as they mature in the ordinary course. For purposes of this definition, (i) “debt” means liability on a “claim”, and (ii) “claim” means any (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

Unless earlier converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, all unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) five (5) business days prior to February 3, 2017 (the “Initial Maturity Date”), unless such date is extended by mutual written consent of the Investor, in its sole discretion, and the Company in accordance with the terms hereof to August 3, 2018 (the “Extended Maturity Date”), or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such amounts are declared due and payable by Investor or made automatically due and payable, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Investor may convert the principal under this Note into Company Common Stock only in connection with the Initial Public Offering.

In connection with any conversion pursuant to this Section 4(a), Investor hereby waives any right to payment of accrued interest thereon.
(b) Optional Conversion into Denali Common Stock. At least twenty (20) business days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, unless this Note has been repaid in full pursuant to its terms or the Note
-4-
has otherwise been converted into Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(a), Investor may, at Investor’s sole discretion, at any such time (but is not required to) deliver a written notice to the Company electing to convert all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note into shares of Series A Common Stock (the “Denali Common Stock”) of Denali Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Denali”), of which the Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, at a price per share equal to the Denali Conversion Price. No accrued interest under this Note shall convert into Denali Common Stock. In connection with any conversion pursuant to this Section 4(b), Investor hereby waives any right to payment of accrued interest thereon. If the Investor fails to deliver the notice specified in this Section 4(b) within such specified period, Investor waives any further right to convert the then outstanding principal amount of this Note into Denali Common Stock.
(c) Conversion Procedure.
(i) Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(a). If this Note is to be automatically converted into Company Common Stock, the Company shall deliver written notice to Investor at the address last shown on the records of the Company for Investor or given by Investor to the Company for the purpose of notice, notifying Investor of the conversion to be effected, specifying the Company Conversion Price, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, and the date on which such conversion is expected to occur and calling upon such Investor to surrender to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated, the Note. Upon such conversion of this Note, Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company such ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties, as may be reasonably requested. Investor also agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) for cancellation upon the conversion of this Note into Company Common Stock; provided, however, that upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(c)(iii). Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and on and after such date the Persons entitled to receive the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares.
(ii) Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(b). Before Investor shall be entitled to convert this Note into Denali Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) and give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 4(b). Upon such conversion of this Note, Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart signature page to that certain Series A Stockholders Agreement, dated February 6, 2014, by and among Denali and the other stockholders specified therein, an accurate and complete copy of which has been provided to the Investor. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Denali
-5-
Common Stock to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(c)(iii).
(iii) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares (whether the conversion is pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b)) shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company or Denali, as applicable, issuing any fractional shares to the Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company or Denali, as applicable, shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this paragraph, the Company and Denali (with respect to its obligations under Section 4(b)) shall be forever released from all their respective obligations and liabilities under this Note, and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.
(d) Notices of Record Date. In the event of:
(i) Any taking by Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or
