SQ 22a) Thank you for your responses. We would like to consider inviting you to participate in our workshop. The session will last approximately two and a half hours, allowing you adequate time to touch, feel and evaluate some future ruggedized tablet concepts and to share your perspectives with Dell Technologies and with other professionals.

Would you like to attend?*

1) Yes

2) No

Thanks - to ensure a prompt start time, we ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes in advance. The moderator will also ask you a few quick questions once you arrive to get to know you and to discuss the Ruggedized Tablets being used by your organization in advance of the group itself.

Signed NDAs will be required from all participants before you join your focus group.

A valid form of picture identification will be required upon arrival (preferably a driver’s license) to verify identity and confirm your age as you indicated in the screening criteria.

Dell encourages you to bring your Rugged device with you to the focus group, and/or a picture of the Rugged device in your environment, so you can better share your Rugged experiences.

We have a short 15-minute homework assignment for you to complete before coming to the focus group that involves writing a few notes about how you use your ruggedized device. This will help you prepare for the discussion. You will be paid an additional $50 for doing this, if the assignment is completed appropriately.

Are you still comfortable participating given the above requirements?*

1) Yes

2) No
