Exhibit (d)(16)
Dell Employment Agreement
I agree to the following terms regarding my employment or continued employment with Dell or a subsidiary or
affiliate of Dell (collectively, Dell). I enter into this Agreement in consideration of: the salary, wages, and benefits
paid to me by Dell; the confidential and proprietary information provided to me by Dell; and Dell’s association of
me with Dell’s goodwill. I understand that Dell agrees to employ me only on the condition that I agree to honor
and to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.
1. I will devote my best efforts to performing the duties that Dell may assign to me from time to time.
2. My employment at Dell is “at-will” and is not for any specified period of time. Either I or Dell may terminate
my employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause or advance notice. If I terminate my
employment, I understand that Dell requests I provide a minimum of two weeks’ advance written notice.
3. While I am a Dell employee, I will promptly disclose all Intellectual Property to Dell. Intellectual Property
includes each discovery, idea, improvement, or invention I create, conceive, develop, or discover, in whole or in
part, alone or with others, (a) on Dell’s time, (b) which relates to Dell’s business, or (c) which results from the
use of Dell’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or information. All Intellectual Property, in whatever form, is Dell’s
property. I assign to and agree to assign to Dell and its nominees, without additional compensation, all of my
rights in Intellectual Property. I will assist Dell in all ways in the future, including giving evidence and executing any
documents deemed helpful or necessary by Dell, to establish, perfect, and register worldwide, at Dell’s expense,
such rights in Intellectual Property. I will not do anything in conflict with Dell’s rights and will cooperate fully to
protect Intellectual Property against misappropriation or infringement. In accordance with Section 2870 of the
California L
