| without rights to sublicense, to use the Software in the country where You |
| are invoiced in accordance with the Documentation and the VMware license |
| model (per device, per processor, per server, per single user, per virtual |
| machine, or any other VMware approved license model) specified in Section 8 |
| of this EULA for which You have paid the applicable license fees, if any. If |
| You were invoiced in the European Union for the Software, You may use that |
| Software in any of the European Union member states. For VMware Workstation |
| and Fusion, You may use the Software without the invoice-country restriction. |
| You may allow third party consultants or contractors to access and use the |
| Software on Your behalf solely for Your internal business operations, |
| provided, they are bound by an agreement with You protecting VMware's |
| intellectual property with terms no less stringent than this EULA and You |
| ensure that such third party use of the Software complies with the terms of |
| this EULA. You may make one backup, unmodified copy of the Software solely |
| for archival purpose. If You upgrade or exchange the Software from a previous |
| validly licensed version, You must cease use of the prior version of that |
| Software. You agree to provide written certification of destruction of the |
| previous version of the Software upon VMware's request. |
| 2.2 Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted by this EULA or by |
| applicable law, You may not (i) sell, lease, assign, license, sublicense, |
| distribute or otherwise transfer in whole or in part the Software; (ii) |

| interoperability in accordance with applicable law, You must first provide |
| VMware with written notice and all reasonably requested information |
| toinfo@vmware.com within 30 days and permit VMware to assess your claim and, |
| at VMware's sole discretion, to make an offer to provide alternatives that |
| reduce any adverse impact on VMware's intellectual property or other rights. |

| testing and benchmarking studies, the results of which only You may publish |
| or publicly disseminate, provided that VMware has reviewed and approved of |
| the methodology, assumptions and other parameters of your testing and |
| studies. Please contact VMware at benchmark@vmware.com to request such |
| review. For VMware Workstation and Fusion benchmarks, You may publish or |
| publicly disseminate the results without VMware's prior review and approval. |

| by VMware, may audit, upon written notice to You, your books, records, and |
| computing devices to determine your compliance with this EULA and your |
| payment of the applicable license and support services fees, if any, for the |
| Software. VMware may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve (12) |
| month period. In the event that any such audit reveals an underpayment by You |

| workmanship; and (ii) that the Software will substantially conform to the |
| functional description set forth in the standard Documentation accompanying |
| the Software for a period of 90 days after the date of delivery of the |
| Software License Key to You ("Warranty Period"). If the physical media is |
| defective and is returned to VMware within the Warranty Period, your |
| exclusive remedy will be VMware's option to repair or replace the defective |
| physical media.. To return the defective physical media, send an email to |

| LIMITED WARRANTY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT MANDATED BY LAW, VMWARE AND ITS |
| LICENSORS PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, |
| IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS EULA OR COMMUNICATION |

| ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY |
| THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT |

| EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, |
| THE PRECEDING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. VMWARE'S AND ITS LICENSORS' |
| LIABILITY UNDER THIS EULA WILL NOT, IN ANY EVENT, EXCEED THE LICENSE FEES YOU |
| PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY |
| REGARDLESS OF WHETHER VMWARE OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
| POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS |
