Item 4.		Ownership

On December 12, 2010, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dell International L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc. (“Dell International”) and Dell Trinity Holdings Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell International (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell International. In connection with the Merger Agreement, on December 12, 2010, EDV VI, EDT ‘01 and EDVP VI entered into Voting and Support Agreements (the “Support Agreements”) with Dell International. Under the terms of the Support Agreements, each of the above stockholders, among other things, has agreed to vote, and has irrevocably appointed Dell International as its proxy to vote, all outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock held by such stockholder at any meeting of (or action by written consent taken by) stockholders of the Issuer (1) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (2) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation of the Issuer under the Merger Agreement, and (3) against certain other transactions (other than the Merger), including, among others, (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (other than the Merger), (ii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any sale, lease, license or other transfer of a material portion of the rights or assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries outside the ordinary course of business, (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Issuer, or (v) any action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions or actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Support Agreements. On January 31, 2011, the Support Agreements were amended to clarify that the stockholders’ obligations under the Support Agreements with respect to the Merger Agreement shall apply to the Merger Agreement as it has been or may be amended from time to time. As a result of the Support Agreements, each of EDV VI, EDT ‘01 and EDVP VI will share voting power of its shares for the sole purposes set forth in the Support Agreements. A copy of the Form of Support Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 16, 2010. A copy of the Form of Amendment No. 1 to the Support Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 1, 2011.
