     This Amendment No. 5 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 23, 2010, as previously amended and supplemented (the “Schedule TO”), by (i) Dell Trinity Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dell”), and (ii) Dell. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of 3PAR Inc., a Delaware corporation (“3PAR”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 23, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

     The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including Schedule I thereto, is hereby incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 13 of this Amendment No. 5, and is amended and supplemented by the information specifically provided in the Amended and Restated Amendment and Supplement to the Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(K) (the “Amended and Restated Supplement”) to the Schedule TO except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 5 have the respective meanings set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Items 1 through 11:

     Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     On September 2, 2010, Dell issued a press release announcing that it will not increase its most recent proposal to acquire 3PAR and that Dell has ended its discussions with 3PAR regarding a potential acquisition, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) to Amendment No. 4 of the Schedule TO on September 2, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     On September 2, 2010, 3PAR terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof to accept a Superior Proposal from Hewlett-Packard Company and, in connection therewith, 3PAR paid Dell the $72,000,000 termination fee.

     Dell and the Purchaser are terminating the Offer as a result of the failure of a condition to the Offer caused by the termination of the Merger Agreement. No Shares will be accepted by Dell and the previously announced Offer Price will not be paid or become payable to holders of the Shares who validly tendered and did not withdraw. Any Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will be promptly returned to the tendering stockholder.

SIGNATURE

     After due inquiry and to the best of the knowledge and belief of each of the undersigned, each of the undersigned hereby certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
