VMWARE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Last updated: 03 May 2021

THE TERMS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“EULA”) GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE,
REGARDLESS OF ANY TERMS THAT MAY APPEAR DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE.

BY DOWNLOADING, DEPLOYING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF
THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS EULA, YOU MUST NOT DOWNLOAD, DEPLOY, OR
USE THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU MUST DELETE OR RETURN THE UNUSED SOFTWARE TO US OR THE
VMWARE CHANNEL PARTNER FROM WHICH YOU ACQUIRED IT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ITS
ACQUISITION AND REQUEST A REFUND OF THE LICENSE FEE, IF ANY, THAT YOU PAID FOR THE
SOFTWARE.

EVALUATION LICENSE. If you license the Software for evaluation purposes (an “Evaluation License”), your use of the
Software is only permitted for a period of thirty (30) days (unless we specify otherwise), and you may not use the
Software with production data. Notwithstanding any other provision in this EULA, an Evaluation License of the Software
is provided “AS IS” without indemnification, support or warranty of any kind, express or implied.

1. LICENSE GRANT.

1.1. General License Grant. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1
(Transfers; Assignment)) license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the
provisions of the Product Guide. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, licenses granted to you will be for use
of object code only and will commence on Delivery.

1.2. Users and Third-Party Agents. Under the License granted to you in Section 1.1 (General License Grant), you
may permit your Users to use the Software, and you may permit Third-Party Agents to deploy and use the
Software on your behalf for the sole purpose of delivering services to you. You will be responsible for your
Users’ and Third-Party Agents’ compliance with this EULA, and any breach of this EULA by a User or Third-
Party Agent will be deemed to be a breach by you.

1.3. Copying Permitted. You may copy the Software and Documentation as necessary to deploy and use the
number of copies licensed, but otherwise for archival purposes only.

1.4. Benchmarking. You may use the Software to conduct internal performance testing and benchmarking studies.
You may only publish or distribute the results of the studies to third parties if we have reviewed and approved
of the methodology, assumptions, and other parameters of the study prior to publication and distribution.
Please contact us at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> to request review and
approval.
1.5. Services for Affiliates. You may use the Software to deliver IT services to your Affiliates, provided that those
Affiliates may not directly use the Software.
1.6. Open Source Software. Open Source Software is licensed to you under the OSS’s own applicable license
terms, which can be found in either the open_source_licenses.txt file accompanying the Software, the
Documentation, or as applicable the corresponding Source Files (as defined below) for the OSS available at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html <http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html>. These
OSS license terms are consistent with the license granted in Section 1 (License Grant) and may contain
additional rights benefiting you. The OSS license terms take precedence over this EULA to the extent that this
EULA imposes greater restrictions on you than the applicable OSS license terms. To the extent the license for
any Open Source Software requires us to make available to you the corresponding source code and/or
modifications (the “Source Files”), you may obtain a copy of the applicable Source Files from our website at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html <http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html> or by
sending a written request, with your name and address, to: VMware, Inc., 3401 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA
94304, United States of America. All requests should clearly specify: Open Source Files Request, Attention:
General Counsel. This offer to obtain a copy of the Source Files is valid for three years from the date you
acquired the Software.
2. RESTRICTIONS; OWNERSHIP.

2.1. License Restrictions. Without our prior written consent, you must not, and must not allow any third party to:
(a) use the Software in an application services provider, service bureau, hosted IT services, or similar capacity
for third parties, except as specified in Section 1.5 (Services for Affiliates); (b) disclose to any third party the
results of any benchmarking testing or comparative or competitive analyses of the Software done by you or on
your behalf, except as specified in Section 1.4 (Benchmarking); (c) make available the Software in any form to
any third parties, except as specified in Section 1.2 (Users and Third-Party Agents); (d) transfer or sublicense
the Software or Documentation to an Affiliate or any third party, except as expressly permitted in Section 12.1
(Transfers; Assignment); (e) use the Software in conflict with the terms and restrictions of the Software’s
licensing model and other requirements specified in the Product Guide and/or the applicable Order; (f) except
to the extent permitted by applicable mandatory law, modify, translate, enhance, or create derivative works
from the Software, or reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the
Software, except as specified in Section 2.2 (Decompilation); (g) remove any copyright or other proprietary
notices on or in any copies of the Software; or (h) violate or circumvent any technological restrictions within the
Software or specified in this EULA, such as via software or services.

2.2. Decompilation. Notwithstanding Section 2.1, you may decompile the Software to the extent the laws of the
Territory give you the express right to do so to obtain information necessary to render the Software
interoperable with other software; provided, however, (a) you must first request that information from us, (b)
you must provide all reasonably requested information to allow us to assess your claim, and (c) we may, in our
discretion, provide that interoperability information to you, impose reasonable conditions (including a
reasonable fee) on that use of the Software, or offer to provide alternatives to reduce any potential adverse
impact on our proprietary rights in the Software.

2.3. Ownership. The Software and Documentation (including all copies and portions), all improvements,
enhancements, modifications and derivative works of the Software or Documentation, and all Intellectual
Property Rights in the Software and Documentation, are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of
VMware and its licensors. Your rights to deploy and use the Software and Documentation are limited to those
expressly granted in this EULA and any applicable Order. No other rights are implied with respect to the
Software, Documentation, or any related Intellectual Property Rights. You are not authorized to use (and must
not permit any third party to use) the Software or Documentation except as expressly authorized by this EULA
or the applicable Order. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. We do not transfer any ownership
rights in any Software or Documentation.

2.4. Guest Operating Systems. Some Software allows Guest Operating Systems and application programs to run
on a computer system. You acknowledge that you are responsible for obtaining and complying with any
licenses necessary to operate any third-party software.

3. ORDER. Your Order is subject to this EULA. No Orders are binding on us until we accept them. Orders for
Software are deemed accepted upon Delivery of the Software included in the Order. Purchase orders issued
to us do not have to be signed by you to be valid and enforceable. All Orders are non-refundable and non-
cancellable except as expressly provided in this EULA. Any refunds to which you are entitled under this EULA
will be remitted to you or to the VMware channel partner from which you purchased your Software license.

4. RECORDS AND AUDIT. You must maintain accurate records of your use of the Software sufficient to show
compliance with the terms of this EULA. We have the right to audit those records and your use of the Software
to confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. You must reasonably cooperate with us and any
third-party auditor and you must, without prejudice to our other rights, address any non-compliance identified
by the audit by paying additional fees. You must reimburse us for all reasonable costs of the audit if the audit
reveals either underpayment of more than five (5%) percent of the Software fees payable by you for the period
audited, or that you have materially failed to maintain accurate records of Software use.

5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Support and subscription services for the Software (“Support Services”) are provided
pursuant to the Support Services Terms and are not subject to this EULA. You have no rights to any updates,
upgrades or extensions or enhancements to the Software unless you separately purchase Support Services or
they are included with your purchase of a license to the Software as provided in the Product Guide.

6. WARRANTIES.

6.1. Software Warranty: Duration and Remedy. We warrant that the Software will, for a period of ninety (90) days
following notice of availability for electronic download or delivery (“Warranty Period”), substantially conform to
the applicable Documentation, provided that the Software: (a) has been properly installed and used at all times
in accordance with the applicable Documentation; and (b) has not been modified or added to by persons other
than us or our authorized representative. We will, at our own expense and as our sole obligation and your
exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, either replace the Software or correct any reproducible error
in the Software reported by you in writing during the Warranty Period. If we determine that we are unable to
correct the error or replace the Software, we will refund the fees paid for that Software, and the License for that
Software will terminate.

6.2. Disclaimer of Warranty. OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6.1, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE, FOR OURSELVES AND ON BEHALF OF OUR SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. NEITHER WE NOR OUR
SUPPLIERS WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IT WILL BE
FREE FROM DEFECTS OR ERRORS, OR THAT IT WILL MEET (OR IS DESIGNED TO MEET) YOUR
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION.

7.1. Defense and Indemnification. Subject to the remainder of this Section 7, we will: (a) defend you against any
Infringement Claim; and (b) indemnify you from all fines, damages, and costs finally awarded against you by a
court of competent jurisdiction or a government agency, or agreed to in a settlement, with regard to any
Infringement Claim. These obligations are applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of the Infringement
Claim within a reasonable period after learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will
relieve us of our indemnification obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us sole
control over the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim; and (iii) reasonably cooperate in response
to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. We will not, without your prior written
consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, enter into any settlement of any
Infringement Claim that obligates you to admit any liability or to pay any unreimbursed amounts to the claimant.
You may not settle or compromise any Infringement Claim without our prior written consent.

7.2. Remedies. If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim,
we will, at our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b)
modify or replace the Software to make it non-infringing; or (c) terminate the License to the affected Software
and discontinue the related Support Services, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software, refund:
(i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-line depreciation
over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any unused, prepaid fees
for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the remaining portion of
the then-current Subscription Term.

7.3. Exclusions. We will have no obligation under this Section 7 or otherwise with respect to any Infringement
Claim based on: (a) combination of the Software with non-VMware products or content; (b) use for a purpose
or in a manner for which the Software was not designed; (c) use of any older version of the Software when use
of a newer version would have avoided the infringement; (d) any modification to the Software other than those
made by us or with our express written approval; (e) any claim that relates to open source software or freeware
technology or any derivative or other adaptations thereof that is not embedded by us into the Software; or (f)
any Software provided on a no charge, beta, or evaluation basis.

7.4. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS SECTION 7 STATES YOUR SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

8.1. Disclaimer. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR
ANY LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF CONTENT OR DATA
FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING POWER OUTAGES, SYSTEM FAILURES, OR OTHER INTERRUPTIONS),
LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THIS
LIMITATION WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE FOREGOING
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY.

8.2. Cap on Monetary Liability. OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THIS EULA WILL NOT EXCEED THE
GREATER OF THE LICENSE FEES YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR
$5000.

8.3. Exclusions. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2 WILL NOT APPLY TO (i) OUR
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7 OF THIS EULA OR (ii) ANY LIABILITY WHICH MAY
NOT BE EXCLUDED BY LAW.

8.4. Further Limitations. Our suppliers have no liability of any kind under this EULA. You may not bring a claim
directly against any of them under this EULA. Our liability with respect to any third-party software embedded in
the Software is subject to this Section 8. You may not bring a claim under this EULA more than eighteen (18)

contractors who have a need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of this EULA and who are
under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than as specified in this Section 10. Recipient will protect the
Discloser’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the
Recipient protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature but with no less than
reasonable care.

10.2. Exceptions. The Recipient’s obligations under Section 10.1 with respect to any of the Discloser’s Confidential
Information will terminate if the Recipient can demonstrate that the information: (a) was already rightfully known
to the Recipient at the time of disclosure by the Discloser without any obligation of confidentiality; (b) was
disclosed to the Recipient by a third party who had the right to make that disclosure without any confidentiality
restrictions; (c) is, or through no fault of the Recipient has become, generally available to the public; or (d) was
independently developed by Recipient without access to or use of Discloser’s Confidential Information. In
addition, the Recipient will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure is
required by law or by order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction,
provided that the Recipient notifies the Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and in writing and
cooperates with the Discloser, at the Discloser’s request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit
the scope of the required disclosure.

10.3. Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this EULA limits either party’s ability to seek equitable relief.

terms and conditions supersede or modify the referenced provisions of this EULA.

14.1. Replace the second paragraph of the preamble with the following:

“BY PURCHASING THE SOFTWARE UNDER A CONTRACT OR ORDER THAT INCORPORATES THIS
EULA, YOU (THE U.S. FEDERAL END USER) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA.”

14.2. Replace the first sentence of Section 1.1 (“General License Grant”) with the following:

“We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1 (Transfers; Assignment)),
commercial item license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the
provisions of the Product Guide.”

14.3. Replace Section 1.5 (“Services for Affiliates”) with “Reserved.”

14.4. Replace subsection (a) in the first sentence of Section 2.1 (“License Restrictions”) with the following:
“(a) use the Software in an application services provider, service bureau, hosted IT services, or similar capacity
for third parties;”

14.5. Replace Section 3 (“Order”) with the following:

“Your Order is subject to this EULA. No Orders are binding on us until we accept them, and all Orders must
expressly incorporate this EULA. Orders for Software are deemed accepted upon Delivery of the Software
included in the Order. Purchase orders issued to us do not have to be signed by you to be valid and
enforceable unless required by applicable law. All Orders are non-refundable and non-cancellable except as
expressly provided in this EULA. Any refunds to which you are entitled under this EULA will be remitted to you
or to the VMware channel partner from which you purchased your Software license.”

14.6. Replace Section 4 (“Records and Audit”) with the following:

“You must maintain accurate records of your use of the Software sufficient to show compliance with the terms
of this EULA. We have the right to audit those records and your use of the Software, at our own expense, to
confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. Neither we nor any third-party auditor shall have
physical access to your computing devices in connection with any such audit without your prior written consent.
You must reasonably cooperate with us and any third-party auditor. We reserve the right to seek recovery of
any underpayments revealed by the audit in accordance with 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes) and
FAR 52.233-1 (Disputes) or other applicable agency supplement. No payment obligation shall arise on your
behalf until the conclusion of the dispute process. If an audit necessitates access to classified information, as
that term is defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), then the audit will
be conducted by auditor(s) possessing a personal security clearance as defined in the NISPOM (“PCL”) at the
appropriate level. In those cases, VMware and any third-party auditor will disclose Classified Information only
to person(s) who both possess a PCL and have a need to know.”

14.7. Replace Section 7.1 (“Defense and Indemnification”) with the following:

“Subject to the remainder of this Section 7 and 28 U.S.C. 516, we will (a) defend you against an Infringement
Claim; and (b) indemnify you from costs and damages finally awarded against you by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a government agency or agreed to in a settlement approved by us. These obligations are
applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of any Infringement Claim within a reasonable period after
learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will relieve us of our indemnification
obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us the opportunity to participate in the
claim’s defense and settlement as provided in applicable laws, rules, or regulations; and (iii) reasonably
cooperate in response to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. You must make
every effort to permit us to participate fully in the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim; however, we
acknowledge that such participation will be under the control of the U.S. Department of Justice.

14.8. Replace Section 7.2 (“Remedies”) with the following:

“If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, we will, at
our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b) modify or
replace the Software to make it non-infringing. If we determine that the foregoing alternatives are not
reasonably available, then you agree to terminate the License to the affected Software and discontinue the
related Support Services upon our written request, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software,
we will refund: (i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-
line depreciation over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any
unused, prepaid fees for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the
remaining portion of the then-current Subscription Term. Nothing in this Section 7.2 (Remedies) will limit our
obligations under Section 7.1 (Defense and Indemnification), provided that you replace the allegedly infringing
Software upon our making alternate Software available to you, or that you discontinue using the allegedly
infringing Software upon receiving VMware’s written request to terminate the affected License. The foregoing is
subject to the U.S. Federal Government’s right to require continued use of the Software pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1498. In the event of such continued use, you agree to notify us in writing and undertake at your expense the
defense of any Infringement Claim against you, and we shall have no further indemnification obligation;
however, we may participate at our own expense in the defense of any Infringement Claim if the claim is
against us.”

14.9. Replace the last sentence of Section 8.4 (“Further Limitations”) with the following:

“You may not bring a claim under this EULA more than eighteen (18) months after the cause of action arises or
such longer period as is mandated by 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes). Nothing in this Section 8 will
impair the U.S. Federal Government’s right to recover for fraud or crimes arising out of this EULA as permitted
under any applicable federal fraud statute, including the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733).”

14.10. Add the following to the beginning of Section 9.2 (“Termination for Cause”):

“Subject to, and to the extent not prohibited by, 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes) and FAR 52.233-1
(Disputes),”

14.11. Replace Section 9.3 (“Termination for Insolvency”) with the following:

“9.3. Termination by You. You may terminate this EULA in accordance with FAR 52.212-4(l) or FAR 52.212-4
(m), if applicable.”

14.12. Replace Section 12.1 (“Transfers; Assignment”) with the following:

“Except to the extent transfer may not legally be restricted or as permitted by our transfer and assignment
policies and in all cases following the process set forth at
www.vmware.com/support/policies/licensingpolicies.html
<http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/licensingpolicies.html>, you must not assign this EULA, any Order,
or any right or obligation pursuant to this EULA, or delegate any performance under this EULA, without our
prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. We may assign
our right to receive payment in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727) and FAR
52.212-4(b), and we may assign this EULA to the extent not prohibited by the Anti-Assignment Act (41 U.S.C.
15). Subject to the requirements of FAR 42.12 (Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements), you shall
recognize our successor in interest following a transfer of our assets or a change in our name. Any other
attempted assignment or transfer by either party will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this EULA will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. We may use our
affiliates or other suppliers to provide services to you, provided that we remain responsible to you for the
performance of the services.”
14.13. Replace Section 12.9 (“Governing Law”) with the following:

“This EULA is governed by the applicable federal laws of the United States. The U.N. Convention on Contracts

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Orders placed with a VMware channel partner, the VMware channel
partner may bring a claim to enforce the terms of this EULA at our request and on our behalf.”

14.15. Replace Section 12.11 (“Order of Precedence”) with the following:

“12.11. Product Guide. The Product Guide is incorporated by reference in this EULA. To the extent that any
terms and conditions in this EULA or in the Product Guide are inconsistent with applicable federal law, they
shall be deemed deleted and unenforceable as applied to your Order. In the event of conflict or inconsistency
among the Product Guide and this EULA, the Product Guide shall take precedence unless otherwise provided
in an enterprise license agreement. This EULA supersedes any conflicting or additional license terms
contained in any purchase order, acknowledgement or confirmation, or other document issued by you for or
regarding the Software.”

14.16. Replace Section 12.12 (“Entire Agreement”) with the following:

“This EULA and the Product Guide contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter of this EULA and supersede all previous or contemporaneous communications, representations,
proposals, commitments, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties
regarding its subject matter. This EULA may be amended only in writing signed by authorized representatives
of both parties.”

14.17. Replace Section 13.1 (“Affiliate”) with “Reserved.”

14.18. Replace Section 13.12 (“Order”) with the following:

“‘Order’ means a purchase order, enterprise license agreement, or other ordering document issued by you to
us or to your VMware channel partner that references and incorporates this EULA and is accepted by us as set
forth in Section 3 (Order).”

U.S. Federal Government and includes land, bases, installations, vessels, craft, and ships that are both 100%
owned and controlled by the U.S. Federal Government. In the foregoing sentence, “owned” also includes
leased throughout the entire term of the Order.”

VMWARE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Last updated: 03 May 2021

THE TERMS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“EULA”) GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE,
REGARDLESS OF ANY TERMS THAT MAY APPEAR DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE.

BY DOWNLOADING, DEPLOYING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF
THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS EULA, YOU MUST NOT DOWNLOAD, DEPLOY, OR
USE THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU MUST DELETE OR RETURN THE UNUSED SOFTWARE TO US OR THE
VMWARE CHANNEL PARTNER FROM WHICH YOU ACQUIRED IT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ITS
ACQUISITION AND REQUEST A REFUND OF THE LICENSE FEE, IF ANY, THAT YOU PAID FOR THE
SOFTWARE.

EVALUATION LICENSE. If you license the Software for evaluation purposes (an “Evaluation License”), your use of the
Software is only permitted for a period of thirty (30) days (unless we specify otherwise), and you may not use the
Software with production data. Notwithstanding any other provision in this EULA, an Evaluation License of the Software
is provided “AS IS” without indemnification, support or warranty of any kind, express or implied.

1. LICENSE GRANT.

1.1. General License Grant. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1
(Transfers; Assignment)) license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the
provisions of the Product Guide. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, licenses granted to you will be for use
of object code only and will commence on Delivery.

1.2. Users and Third-Party Agents. Under the License granted to you in Section 1.1 (General License Grant), you
may permit your Users to use the Software, and you may permit Third-Party Agents to deploy and use the
Software on your behalf for the sole purpose of delivering services to you. You will be responsible for your
Users’ and Third-Party Agents’ compliance with this EULA, and any breach of this EULA by a User or Third-
Party Agent will be deemed to be a breach by you.

1.3. Copying Permitted. You may copy the Software and Documentation as necessary to deploy and use the
number of copies licensed, but otherwise for archival purposes only.

1.4. Benchmarking. You may use the Software to conduct internal performance testing and benchmarking studies.
You may only publish or distribute the results of the studies to third parties if we have reviewed and approved
of the methodology, assumptions, and other parameters of the study prior to publication and distribution.
Please contact us at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> to request review and
approval.
1.5. Services for Affiliates. You may use the Software to deliver IT services to your Affiliates, provided that those
Affiliates may not directly use the Software.
1.6. Open Source Software. Open Source Software is licensed to you under the OSS’s own applicable license
terms, which can be found in either the open_source_licenses.txt file accompanying the Software, the
Documentation, or as applicable the corresponding Source Files (as defined below) for the OSS available at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html <http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html>. These
OSS license terms are consistent with the license granted in Section 1 (License Grant) and may contain
additional rights benefiting you. The OSS license terms take precedence over this EULA to the extent that this
EULA imposes greater restrictions on you than the applicable OSS license terms. To the extent the license for
any Open Source Software requires us to make available to you the corresponding source code and/or
modifications (the “Source Files”), you may obtain a copy of the applicable Source Files from our website at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html <http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html> or by

notices on or in any copies of the Software; or (h) violate or circumvent any technological restrictions within the
Software or specified in this EULA, such as via software or services.

2.2. Decompilation. Notwithstanding Section 2.1, you may decompile the Software to the extent the laws of the
Territory give you the express right to do so to obtain information necessary to render the Software
interoperable with other software; provided, however, (a) you must first request that information from us, (b)
you must provide all reasonably requested information to allow us to assess your claim, and (c) we may, in our
discretion, provide that interoperability information to you, impose reasonable conditions (including a
reasonable fee) on that use of the Software, or offer to provide alternatives to reduce any potential adverse
impact on our proprietary rights in the Software.

2.3. Ownership. The Software and Documentation (including all copies and portions), all improvements,
enhancements, modifications and derivative works of the Software or Documentation, and all Intellectual
Property Rights in the Software and Documentation, are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of
VMware and its licensors. Your rights to deploy and use the Software and Documentation are limited to those
expressly granted in this EULA and any applicable Order. No other rights are implied with respect to the
Software, Documentation, or any related Intellectual Property Rights. You are not authorized to use (and must
not permit any third party to use) the Software or Documentation except as expressly authorized by this EULA
or the applicable Order. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. We do not transfer any ownership
rights in any Software or Documentation.

2.4. Guest Operating Systems. Some Software allows Guest Operating Systems and application programs to run
on a computer system. You acknowledge that you are responsible for obtaining and complying with any
licenses necessary to operate any third-party software.

3. ORDER. Your Order is subject to this EULA. No Orders are binding on us until we accept them. Orders for
Software are deemed accepted upon Delivery of the Software included in the Order. Purchase orders issued
to us do not have to be signed by you to be valid and enforceable. All Orders are non-refundable and non-
cancellable except as expressly provided in this EULA. Any refunds to which you are entitled under this EULA
will be remitted to you or to the VMware channel partner from which you purchased your Software license.

4. RECORDS AND AUDIT. You must maintain accurate records of your use of the Software sufficient to show
compliance with the terms of this EULA. We have the right to audit those records and your use of the Software
to confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. You must reasonably cooperate with us and any
third-party auditor and you must, without prejudice to our other rights, address any non-compliance identified
by the audit by paying additional fees. You must reimburse us for all reasonable costs of the audit if the audit
reveals either underpayment of more than five (5%) percent of the Software fees payable by you for the period
audited, or that you have materially failed to maintain accurate records of Software use.

5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Support and subscription services for the Software (“Support Services”) are provided
pursuant to the Support Services Terms and are not subject to this EULA. You have no rights to any updates,
upgrades or extensions or enhancements to the Software unless you separately purchase Support Services or
they are included with your purchase of a license to the Software as provided in the Product Guide.

6. WARRANTIES.

6.1. Software Warranty: Duration and Remedy. We warrant that the Software will, for a period of ninety (90) days
following notice of availability for electronic download or delivery (“Warranty Period”), substantially conform to
the applicable Documentation, provided that the Software: (a) has been properly installed and used at all times
in accordance with the applicable Documentation; and (b) has not been modified or added to by persons other
than us or our authorized representative. We will, at our own expense and as our sole obligation and your
exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, either replace the Software or correct any reproducible error
in the Software reported by you in writing during the Warranty Period. If we determine that we are unable to
correct the error or replace the Software, we will refund the fees paid for that Software, and the License for that
Software will terminate.

6.2. Disclaimer of Warranty. OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6.1, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE, FOR OURSELVES AND ON BEHALF OF OUR SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. NEITHER WE NOR OUR
SUPPLIERS WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IT WILL BE
FREE FROM DEFECTS OR ERRORS, OR THAT IT WILL MEET (OR IS DESIGNED TO MEET) YOUR
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION.

7.1. Defense and Indemnification. Subject to the remainder of this Section 7, we will: (a) defend you against any
Infringement Claim; and (b) indemnify you from all fines, damages, and costs finally awarded against you by a
court of competent jurisdiction or a government agency, or agreed to in a settlement, with regard to any
Infringement Claim. These obligations are applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of the Infringement
Claim within a reasonable period after learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will
relieve us of our indemnification obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us sole
control over the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim; and (iii) reasonably cooperate in response
to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. We will not, without your prior written
consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, enter into any settlement of any
Infringement Claim that obligates you to admit any liability or to pay any unreimbursed amounts to the claimant.
You may not settle or compromise any Infringement Claim without our prior written consent.

7.2. Remedies. If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim,
we will, at our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b)
modify or replace the Software to make it non-infringing; or (c) terminate the License to the affected Software
and discontinue the related Support Services, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software, refund:
(i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-line depreciation
over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any unused, prepaid fees
for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the remaining portion of
the then-current Subscription Term.

7.3. Exclusions. We will have no obligation under this Section 7 or otherwise with respect to any Infringement
Claim based on: (a) combination of the Software with non-VMware products or content; (b) use for a purpose
or in a manner for which the Software was not designed; (c) use of any older version of the Software when use
of a newer version would have avoided the infringement; (d) any modification to the Software other than those
made by us or with our express written approval; (e) any claim that relates to open source software or freeware
technology or any derivative or other adaptations thereof that is not embedded by us into the Software; or (f)
any Software provided on a no charge, beta, or evaluation basis.

7.4. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS SECTION 7 STATES YOUR SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

8.1. Disclaimer. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR
ANY LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF CONTENT OR DATA
FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING POWER OUTAGES, SYSTEM FAILURES, OR OTHER INTERRUPTIONS),
LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THIS
LIMITATION WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE FOREGOING
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY.

8.2. Cap on Monetary Liability. OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THIS EULA WILL NOT EXCEED THE
GREATER OF THE LICENSE FEES YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR
$5000.

8.3. Exclusions. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2 WILL NOT APPLY TO (i) OUR
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7 OF THIS EULA OR (ii) ANY LIABILITY WHICH MAY
NOT BE EXCLUDED BY LAW.

8.4. Further Limitations. Our suppliers have no liability of any kind under this EULA. You may not bring a claim
directly against any of them under this EULA. Our liability with respect to any third-party software embedded in
the Software is subject to this Section 8. You may not bring a claim under this EULA more than eighteen (18)
months after the cause of action arises.

9. TERMINATION.

9.1. EULA Term. The term of this EULA begins on Delivery of the Software and continues until this EULA is
terminated in accordance with this Section 9.

9.2. Termination for Cause. We may terminate this EULA effective immediately upon written notice to you if: (a)
any payment due under this EULA is not received within ten (10) days after receiving our written notice that
payment is past due; (b) you materially breach any other provision of this EULA and fail to cure within thirty

the benefit of creditors, become subject to control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority, or become subject
to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

9.4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this EULA: (a) all Licenses to the Software granted to you under
this EULA will immediately end; (b) you must stop all use of the Software and return to us or certify destruction
of the Software and License Keys (including copies), and (c) you must return or, if we request, destroy, any of
our or our suppliers’ Confidential Information in your possession or under your control (other than information

10. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

10.1. Protection. Either party may use Confidential Information of the other party disclosed to it in connection with
this EULA to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this EULA or as otherwise permitted by this
EULA. The Recipient will disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information only to the Recipient’s employees or
contractors who have a need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of this EULA and who are
under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than as specified in this Section 10. Recipient will protect the
Discloser’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the
Recipient protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature but with no less than
reasonable care.

10.2. Exceptions. The Recipient’s obligations under Section 10.1 with respect to any of the Discloser’s Confidential
Information will terminate if the Recipient can demonstrate that the information: (a) was already rightfully known
to the Recipient at the time of disclosure by the Discloser without any obligation of confidentiality; (b) was
disclosed to the Recipient by a third party who had the right to make that disclosure without any confidentiality
restrictions; (c) is, or through no fault of the Recipient has become, generally available to the public; or (d) was
independently developed by Recipient without access to or use of Discloser’s Confidential Information. In
addition, the Recipient will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure is
required by law or by order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction,
provided that the Recipient notifies the Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and in writing and
cooperates with the Discloser, at the Discloser’s request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit
the scope of the required disclosure.

10.3. Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this EULA limits either party’s ability to seek equitable relief.

11. ACCOUNT, OPERATIONS AND USAGE DATA. We collect your contact information and information about
your purchase to manage your account and fulfill your Orders. We also process (a) information necessary to
facilitate the delivery of the Software, including verifying compliance with the terms of this EULA, invoicing, and
providing Support Services, and (b) Software configuration, performance, and usage data for the purposes of
improving VMware products and services and user experience, and other analytics purposes as set forth in the
Product Guide. To the extent any of that data includes information which identifies an individual, we will
process that information in accordance with VMware’s Products & Services Privacy Notice available at
<https://www.vmware.com/help/privacy.html>.

EULA, YOU (THE U.S. FEDERAL END USER) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA.”

14.2. Replace the first sentence of Section 1.1 (“General License Grant”) with the following:

“We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1 (Transfers; Assignment)),
commercial item license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the
provisions of the Product Guide.”

for third parties;”

14.5. Replace Section 3 (“Order”) with the following:

“Your Order is subject to this EULA. No Orders are binding on us until we accept them, and all Orders must
expressly incorporate this EULA. Orders for Software are deemed accepted upon Delivery of the Software
included in the Order. Purchase orders issued to us do not have to be signed by you to be valid and
enforceable unless required by applicable law. All Orders are non-refundable and non-cancellable except as
expressly provided in this EULA. Any refunds to which you are entitled under this EULA will be remitted to you
or to the VMware channel partner from which you purchased your Software license.”

14.6. Replace Section 4 (“Records and Audit”) with the following:

“You must maintain accurate records of your use of the Software sufficient to show compliance with the terms
of this EULA. We have the right to audit those records and your use of the Software, at our own expense, to
confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. Neither we nor any third-party auditor shall have
physical access to your computing devices in connection with any such audit without your prior written consent.
You must reasonably cooperate with us and any third-party auditor. We reserve the right to seek recovery of
any underpayments revealed by the audit in accordance with 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes) and
FAR 52.233-1 (Disputes) or other applicable agency supplement. No payment obligation shall arise on your
behalf until the conclusion of the dispute process. If an audit necessitates access to classified information, as
that term is defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), then the audit will
be conducted by auditor(s) possessing a personal security clearance as defined in the NISPOM (“PCL”) at the
appropriate level. In those cases, VMware and any third-party auditor will disclose Classified Information only

“Subject to the remainder of this Section 7 and 28 U.S.C. 516, we will (a) defend you against an Infringement
Claim; and (b) indemnify you from costs and damages finally awarded against you by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a government agency or agreed to in a settlement approved by us. These obligations are
applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of any Infringement Claim within a reasonable period after
learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will relieve us of our indemnification
obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us the opportunity to participate in the
claim’s defense and settlement as provided in applicable laws, rules, or regulations; and (iii) reasonably
cooperate in response to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. You must make
every effort to permit us to participate fully in the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim; however, we
acknowledge that such participation will be under the control of the U.S. Department of Justice.

14.8. Replace Section 7.2 (“Remedies”) with the following:

“If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, we will, at
our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b) modify or
replace the Software to make it non-infringing. If we determine that the foregoing alternatives are not
reasonably available, then you agree to terminate the License to the affected Software and discontinue the
related Support Services upon our written request, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software,
we will refund: (i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-
line depreciation over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any
unused, prepaid fees for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the
remaining portion of the then-current Subscription Term. Nothing in this Section 7.2 (Remedies) will limit our
obligations under Section 7.1 (Defense and Indemnification), provided that you replace the allegedly infringing
Software upon our making alternate Software available to you, or that you discontinue using the allegedly
infringing Software upon receiving VMware’s written request to terminate the affected License. The foregoing is
subject to the U.S. Federal Government’s right to require continued use of the Software pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1498. In the event of such continued use, you agree to notify us in writing and undertake at your expense the
defense of any Infringement Claim against you, and we shall have no further indemnification obligation;
however, we may participate at our own expense in the defense of any Infringement Claim if the claim is
against us.”

14.9. Replace the last sentence of Section 8.4 (“Further Limitations”) with the following:

“You may not bring a claim under this EULA more than eighteen (18) months after the cause of action arises or
such longer period as is mandated by 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes). Nothing in this Section 8 will
impair the U.S. Federal Government’s right to recover for fraud or crimes arising out of this EULA as permitted
under any applicable federal fraud statute, including the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733).”

14.10. Add the following to the beginning of Section 9.2 (“Termination for Cause”):

“Except to the extent transfer may not legally be restricted or as permitted by our transfer and assignment
policies and in all cases following the process set forth at

or any right or obligation pursuant to this EULA, or delegate any performance under this EULA, without our
prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. We may assign
our right to receive payment in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727) and FAR
52.212-4(b), and we may assign this EULA to the extent not prohibited by the Anti-Assignment Act (41 U.S.C.
15). Subject to the requirements of FAR 42.12 (Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements), you shall
recognize our successor in interest following a transfer of our assets or a change in our name. Any other
attempted assignment or transfer by either party will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this EULA will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. We may use our
affiliates or other suppliers to provide services to you, provided that we remain responsible to you for the
performance of the services.”

shall be deemed deleted and unenforceable as applied to your Order. In the event of conflict or inconsistency
among the Product Guide and this EULA, the Product Guide shall take precedence unless otherwise provided

contained in any purchase order, acknowledgement or confirmation, or other document issued by you for or
regarding the Software.”

14.16. Replace Section 12.12 (“Entire Agreement”) with the following:

“This EULA and the Product Guide contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter of this EULA and supersede all previous or contemporaneous communications, representations,
proposals, commitments, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties
regarding its subject matter. This EULA may be amended only in writing signed by authorized representatives
of both parties.”

the applicable Documentation, provided that the Software: (a) has been properly installed and used at all times
in accordance with the applicable Documentation; and (b) has not been modified or added to by persons other
than us or our authorized representative. We will, at our own expense and as our sole obligation and your
exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, either replace the Software or correct any reproducible error
in the Software reported by you in writing during the Warranty Period. If we determine that we are unable to
correct the error or replace the Software, we will refund the fees paid for that Software, and the License for that
Software will terminate.

6.2. Disclaimer of Warranty. OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6.1, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE, FOR OURSELVES AND ON BEHALF OF OUR SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. NEITHER WE NOR OUR
SUPPLIERS WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IT WILL BE
FREE FROM DEFECTS OR ERRORS, OR THAT IT WILL MEET (OR IS DESIGNED TO MEET) YOUR
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION.

Infringement Claim; and (b) indemnify you from all fines, damages, and costs finally awarded against you by a
court of competent jurisdiction or a government agency, or agreed to in a settlement, with regard to any
Infringement Claim. These obligations are applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of the Infringement
Claim within a reasonable period after learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will
relieve us of our indemnification obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us sole
control over the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim; and (iii) reasonably cooperate in response
to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. We will not, without your prior written
consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, enter into any settlement of any
Infringement Claim that obligates you to admit any liability or to pay any unreimbursed amounts to the claimant.
You may not settle or compromise any Infringement Claim without our prior written consent.

7.2. Remedies. If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim,
we will, at our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b)
modify or replace the Software to make it non-infringing; or (c) terminate the License to the affected Software
and discontinue the related Support Services, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software, refund:
(i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-line depreciation
over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any unused, prepaid fees
for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the remaining portion of
the then-current Subscription Term.

7.3. Exclusions. We will have no obligation under this Section 7 or otherwise with respect to any Infringement
Claim based on: (a) combination of the Software with non-VMware products or content; (b) use for a purpose
or in a manner for which the Software was not designed; (c) use of any older version of the Software when use
of a newer version would have avoided the infringement; (d) any modification to the Software other than those
made by us or with our express written approval; (e) any claim that relates to open source software or freeware
technology or any derivative or other adaptations thereof that is not embedded by us into the Software; or (f)
any Software provided on a no charge, beta, or evaluation basis.

SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THIS
LIMITATION WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE FOREGOING
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY.

contractors who have a need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of this EULA and who are
under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than as specified in this Section 10. Recipient will protect the
Discloser’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the
Recipient protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature but with no less than
reasonable care.

10.2. Exceptions. The Recipient’s obligations under Section 10.1 with respect to any of the Discloser’s Confidential
Information will terminate if the Recipient can demonstrate that the information: (a) was already rightfully known
to the Recipient at the time of disclosure by the Discloser without any obligation of confidentiality; (b) was
disclosed to the Recipient by a third party who had the right to make that disclosure without any confidentiality
restrictions; (c) is, or through no fault of the Recipient has become, generally available to the public; or (d) was
independently developed by Recipient without access to or use of Discloser’s Confidential Information. In
addition, the Recipient will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure is
required by law or by order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction,
provided that the Recipient notifies the Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and in writing and
cooperates with the Discloser, at the Discloser’s request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit
the scope of the required disclosure.

10.3. Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this EULA limits either party’s ability to seek equitable relief.

“We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1 (Transfers; Assignment)),
commercial item license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the

for third parties;”

14.5. Replace Section 3 (“Order”) with the following:

“Your Order is subject to this EULA. No Orders are binding on us until we accept them, and all Orders must
expressly incorporate this EULA. Orders for Software are deemed accepted upon Delivery of the Software
included in the Order. Purchase orders issued to us do not have to be signed by you to be valid and
enforceable unless required by applicable law. All Orders are non-refundable and non-cancellable except as
expressly provided in this EULA. Any refunds to which you are entitled under this EULA will be remitted to you
or to the VMware channel partner from which you purchased your Software license.”

14.6. Replace Section 4 (“Records and Audit”) with the following:

“You must maintain accurate records of your use of the Software sufficient to show compliance with the terms
of this EULA. We have the right to audit those records and your use of the Software, at our own expense, to
confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. Neither we nor any third-party auditor shall have
physical access to your computing devices in connection with any such audit without your prior written consent.
You must reasonably cooperate with us and any third-party auditor. We reserve the right to seek recovery of
any underpayments revealed by the audit in accordance with 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes) and
FAR 52.233-1 (Disputes) or other applicable agency supplement. No payment obligation shall arise on your
behalf until the conclusion of the dispute process. If an audit necessitates access to classified information, as
that term is defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), then the audit will
be conducted by auditor(s) possessing a personal security clearance as defined in the NISPOM (“PCL”) at the

“Subject to the remainder of this Section 7 and 28 U.S.C. 516, we will (a) defend you against an Infringement
Claim; and (b) indemnify you from costs and damages finally awarded against you by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a government agency or agreed to in a settlement approved by us. These obligations are
applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of any Infringement Claim within a reasonable period after
learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will relieve us of our indemnification
obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us the opportunity to participate in the
claim’s defense and settlement as provided in applicable laws, rules, or regulations; and (iii) reasonably
cooperate in response to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. You must make
every effort to permit us to participate fully in the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim; however, we
acknowledge that such participation will be under the control of the U.S. Department of Justice.

14.8. Replace Section 7.2 (“Remedies”) with the following:

“If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, we will, at
our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b) modify or
replace the Software to make it non-infringing. If we determine that the foregoing alternatives are not
reasonably available, then you agree to terminate the License to the affected Software and discontinue the
related Support Services upon our written request, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software,
we will refund: (i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-
line depreciation over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any
unused, prepaid fees for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the
remaining portion of the then-current Subscription Term. Nothing in this Section 7.2 (Remedies) will limit our
obligations under Section 7.1 (Defense and Indemnification), provided that you replace the allegedly infringing
Software upon our making alternate Software available to you, or that you discontinue using the allegedly
infringing Software upon receiving VMware’s written request to terminate the affected License. The foregoing is
subject to the U.S. Federal Government’s right to require continued use of the Software pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1498. In the event of such continued use, you agree to notify us in writing and undertake at your expense the
defense of any Infringement Claim against you, and we shall have no further indemnification obligation;
however, we may participate at our own expense in the defense of any Infringement Claim if the claim is
against us.”

14.9. Replace the last sentence of Section 8.4 (“Further Limitations”) with the following:

“You may not bring a claim under this EULA more than eighteen (18) months after the cause of action arises or
such longer period as is mandated by 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes). Nothing in this Section 8 will
impair the U.S. Federal Government’s right to recover for fraud or crimes arising out of this EULA as permitted
under any applicable federal fraud statute, including the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733).”

14.10. Add the following to the beginning of Section 9.2 (“Termination for Cause”):

“Subject to, and to the extent not prohibited by, 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes) and FAR 52.233-1
(Disputes),”

14.11. Replace Section 9.3 (“Termination for Insolvency”) with the following:

“9.3. Termination by You. You may terminate this EULA in accordance with FAR 52.212-4(l) or FAR 52.212-4
(m), if applicable.”

14.12. Replace Section 12.1 (“Transfers; Assignment”) with the following:

“Except to the extent transfer may not legally be restricted or as permitted by our transfer and assignment
policies and in all cases following the process set forth at
www.vmware.com/support/policies/licensingpolicies.html
<http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/licensingpolicies.html>, you must not assign this EULA, any Order,
or any right or obligation pursuant to this EULA, or delegate any performance under this EULA, without our
prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. We may assign
our right to receive payment in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727) and FAR
52.212-4(b), and we may assign this EULA to the extent not prohibited by the Anti-Assignment Act (41 U.S.C.
15). Subject to the requirements of FAR 42.12 (Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements), you shall
recognize our successor in interest following a transfer of our assets or a change in our name. Any other
attempted assignment or transfer by either party will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this EULA will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. We may use our
affiliates or other suppliers to provide services to you, provided that we remain responsible to you for the
performance of the services.”
14.13. Replace Section 12.9 (“Governing Law”) with the following:

“This EULA is governed by the applicable federal laws of the United States. The U.N. Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.”

14.14. Add the following to the end of Section 12.10 (“Third-Party Rights”):
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Orders placed with a VMware channel partner, the VMware channel
partner may bring a claim to enforce the terms of this EULA at our request and on our behalf.”

14.15. Replace Section 12.11 (“Order of Precedence”) with the following:

“12.11. Product Guide. The Product Guide is incorporated by reference in this EULA. To the extent that any
terms and conditions in this EULA or in the Product Guide are inconsistent with applicable federal law, they
shall be deemed deleted and unenforceable as applied to your Order. In the event of conflict or inconsistency
among the Product Guide and this EULA, the Product Guide shall take precedence unless otherwise provided
in an enterprise license agreement. This EULA supersedes any conflicting or additional license terms

Software is only permitted for a period of thirty (30) days (unless we specify otherwise), and you may not use the
Software with production data. Notwithstanding any other provision in this EULA, an Evaluation License of the Software
is provided “AS IS” without indemnification, support or warranty of any kind, express or implied.

1. LICENSE GRANT.

1.1. General License Grant. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 12.1
(Transfers; Assignment)) license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the
provisions of the Product Guide. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, licenses granted to you will be for use
of object code only and will commence on Delivery.

1.2. Users and Third-Party Agents. Under the License granted to you in Section 1.1 (General License Grant), you
may permit your Users to use the Software, and you may permit Third-Party Agents to deploy and use the
Software on your behalf for the sole purpose of delivering services to you. You will be responsible for your
Users’ and Third-Party Agents’ compliance with this EULA, and any breach of this EULA by a User or Third-
Party Agent will be deemed to be a breach by you.

1.3. Copying Permitted. You may copy the Software and Documentation as necessary to deploy and use the
number of copies licensed, but otherwise for archival purposes only.

enhancements, modifications and derivative works of the Software or Documentation, and all Intellectual
Property Rights in the Software and Documentation, are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of
VMware and its licensors. Your rights to deploy and use the Software and Documentation are limited to those
expressly granted in this EULA and any applicable Order. No other rights are implied with respect to the

to confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. You must reasonably cooperate with us and any
third-party auditor and you must, without prejudice to our other rights, address any non-compliance identified
by the audit by paying additional fees. You must reimburse us for all reasonable costs of the audit if the audit
reveals either underpayment of more than five (5%) percent of the Software fees payable by you for the period
audited, or that you have materially failed to maintain accurate records of Software use.

5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Support and subscription services for the Software (“Support Services”) are provided
pursuant to the Support Services Terms and are not subject to this EULA. You have no rights to any updates,
upgrades or extensions or enhancements to the Software unless you separately purchase Support Services or
they are included with your purchase of a license to the Software as provided in the Product Guide.

6. WARRANTIES.

in accordance with the applicable Documentation; and (b) has not been modified or added to by persons other
than us or our authorized representative. We will, at our own expense and as our sole obligation and your
exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, either replace the Software or correct any reproducible error
in the Software reported by you in writing during the Warranty Period. If we determine that we are unable to
correct the error or replace the Software, we will refund the fees paid for that Software, and the License for that
Software will terminate.

6.2. Disclaimer of Warranty. OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6.1, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE, FOR OURSELVES AND ON BEHALF OF OUR SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. NEITHER WE NOR OUR
SUPPLIERS WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IT WILL BE
FREE FROM DEFECTS OR ERRORS, OR THAT IT WILL MEET (OR IS DESIGNED TO MEET) YOUR
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.

Infringement Claim; and (b) indemnify you from all fines, damages, and costs finally awarded against you by a
court of competent jurisdiction or a government agency, or agreed to in a settlement, with regard to any
Infringement Claim. These obligations are applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of the Infringement
Claim within a reasonable period after learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will
relieve us of our indemnification obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us sole
control over the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim; and (iii) reasonably cooperate in response
to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. We will not, without your prior written
consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, enter into any settlement of any
Infringement Claim that obligates you to admit any liability or to pay any unreimbursed amounts to the claimant.
You may not settle or compromise any Infringement Claim without our prior written consent.

7.2. Remedies. If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim,
we will, at our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b)
modify or replace the Software to make it non-infringing; or (c) terminate the License to the affected Software
and discontinue the related Support Services, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software, refund:
(i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-line depreciation

for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the remaining portion of
the then-current Subscription Term.

7.3. Exclusions. We will have no obligation under this Section 7 or otherwise with respect to any Infringement
Claim based on: (a) combination of the Software with non-VMware products or content; (b) use for a purpose
or in a manner for which the Software was not designed; (c) use of any older version of the Software when use
of a newer version would have avoided the infringement; (d) any modification to the Software other than those
made by us or with our express written approval; (e) any claim that relates to open source software or freeware
technology or any derivative or other adaptations thereof that is not embedded by us into the Software; or (f)
any Software provided on a no charge, beta, or evaluation basis.

7.4. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS SECTION 7 STATES YOUR SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

8.1. Disclaimer. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR
ANY LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF CONTENT OR DATA
FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING POWER OUTAGES, SYSTEM FAILURES, OR OTHER INTERRUPTIONS),
LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THIS
LIMITATION WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE FOREGOING
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY.

commercial item license to deploy the Software within the Territory and to use the Software and the
Documentation during the term of the license, solely for your internal business operations, and subject to the

for third parties;”

14.5. Replace Section 3 (“Order”) with the following:

“Your Order is subject to this EULA. No Orders are binding on us until we accept them, and all Orders must
expressly incorporate this EULA. Orders for Software are deemed accepted upon Delivery of the Software
included in the Order. Purchase orders issued to us do not have to be signed by you to be valid and
enforceable unless required by applicable law. All Orders are non-refundable and non-cancellable except as
expressly provided in this EULA. Any refunds to which you are entitled under this EULA will be remitted to you
or to the VMware channel partner from which you purchased your Software license.”

14.6. Replace Section 4 (“Records and Audit”) with the following:

“You must maintain accurate records of your use of the Software sufficient to show compliance with the terms
of this EULA. We have the right to audit those records and your use of the Software, at our own expense, to
confirm compliance with the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable prior notice and will not
unreasonably interfere with your business activities. We may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve
(12) month period, and only during normal business hours. Neither we nor any third-party auditor shall have
physical access to your computing devices in connection with any such audit without your prior written consent.
You must reasonably cooperate with us and any third-party auditor. We reserve the right to seek recovery of
any underpayments revealed by the audit in accordance with 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes) and
FAR 52.233-1 (Disputes) or other applicable agency supplement. No payment obligation shall arise on your
behalf until the conclusion of the dispute process. If an audit necessitates access to classified information, as
that term is defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), then the audit will
be conducted by auditor(s) possessing a personal security clearance as defined in the NISPOM (“PCL”) at the
appropriate level. In those cases, VMware and any third-party auditor will disclose Classified Information only
to person(s) who both possess a PCL and have a need to know.”

“Subject to the remainder of this Section 7 and 28 U.S.C. 516, we will (a) defend you against an Infringement
Claim; and (b) indemnify you from costs and damages finally awarded against you by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a government agency or agreed to in a settlement approved by us. These obligations are
applicable only if you: (i) provide us with notice of any Infringement Claim within a reasonable period after
learning of the claim (provided that any delay in providing the notice will relieve us of our indemnification
obligations only to the extent that the delay prejudices us); (ii) allow us the opportunity to participate in the
claim’s defense and settlement as provided in applicable laws, rules, or regulations; and (iii) reasonably
cooperate in response to our requests for assistance with regard to the Infringement Claim. You must make
every effort to permit us to participate fully in the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim; however, we
acknowledge that such participation will be under the control of the U.S. Department of Justice.

14.8. Replace Section 7.2 (“Remedies”) with the following:

“If the Software becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, we will, at
our option and expense: (a) procure the rights necessary for you to keep using the Software; or (b) modify or
replace the Software to make it non-infringing. If we determine that the foregoing alternatives are not
reasonably available, then you agree to terminate the License to the affected Software and discontinue the
related Support Services upon our written request, and, upon your certified deletion of the affected Software,
we will refund: (i) for a Perpetual License, the fees paid for the License to the affected Software, less straight-
line depreciation over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date of Delivery of the Software and any
unused, prepaid fees for Support Services, or (ii) for Subscription Software, any prepaid fees, prorated for the
remaining portion of the then-current Subscription Term. Nothing in this Section 7.2 (Remedies) will limit our
obligations under Section 7.1 (Defense and Indemnification), provided that you replace the allegedly infringing
Software upon our making alternate Software available to you, or that you discontinue using the allegedly
infringing Software upon receiving VMware’s written request to terminate the affected License. The foregoing is
subject to the U.S. Federal Government’s right to require continued use of the Software pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1498. In the event of such continued use, you agree to notify us in writing and undertake at your expense the
defense of any Infringement Claim against you, and we shall have no further indemnification obligation;
however, we may participate at our own expense in the defense of any Infringement Claim if the claim is
against us.”

14.9. Replace the last sentence of Section 8.4 (“Further Limitations”) with the following:

“You may not bring a claim under this EULA more than eighteen (18) months after the cause of action arises or
such longer period as is mandated by 41 U.S.C. chapter 71 (Contract Disputes). Nothing in this Section 8 will
impair the U.S. Federal Government’s right to recover for fraud or crimes arising out of this EULA as permitted
under any applicable federal fraud statute, including the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733).”

14.10. Add the following to the beginning of Section 9.2 (“Termination for Cause”):

or any right or obligation pursuant to this EULA, or delegate any performance under this EULA, without our
prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. We may assign
our right to receive payment in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727) and FAR
52.212-4(b), and we may assign this EULA to the extent not prohibited by the Anti-Assignment Act (41 U.S.C.
15). Subject to the requirements of FAR 42.12 (Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements), you shall
recognize our successor in interest following a transfer of our assets or a change in our name. Any other
attempted assignment or transfer by either party will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this EULA will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. We may use our
affiliates or other suppliers to provide services to you, provided that we remain responsible to you for the
performance of the services.”
14.13. Replace Section 12.9 (“Governing Law”) with the following:

“12.11. Product Guide. The Product Guide is incorporated by reference in this EULA. To the extent that any
terms and conditions in this EULA or in the Product Guide are inconsistent with applicable federal law, they
shall be deemed deleted and unenforceable as applied to your Order. In the event of conflict or inconsistency
among the Product Guide and this EULA, the Product Guide shall take precedence unless otherwise provided
in an enterprise license agreement. This EULA supersedes any conflicting or additional license terms
contained in any purchase order, acknowledgement or confirmation, or other document issued by you for or
regarding the Software.”

14.16. Replace Section 12.12 (“Entire Agreement”) with the following:

“This EULA and the Product Guide contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter of this EULA and supersede all previous or contemporaneous communications, representations,
