 Agent shall be deemed to be a breach by You. 
 
 2.3       Copying Permitted.  You may copy the Software and 
 Documentation as necessary to install and run the quantity of copies 
 licensed, but otherwise for archival purposes only.

 express right to do so to obtain information necessary to render the 
 Software interoperable with other software; provided, however, You must

 limited to those expressly granted in this EULA and any applicable Order.  
 No other rights with respect to the Software or any related Intellectual 
 Property Rights are implied.  You are not authorized to use (and shall not

 the terms of this EULA. That audit is subject to reasonable notice by 
 VMware and will not unreasonably interfere with Your business activities. 
 VMware may conduct no more than one (1) audit in any twelve (12) month 
 period, and only during normal business hours. You will reasonably 
 cooperate with VMware and any third party auditor and will, without 
 prejudice to other rights of VMware, address any non-compliance 
 identified by the audit by promptly paying additional fees. You will promptly 
 reimburse VMware for all reasonable costs of the audit if the audit reveals

 payable by You for the period audited, or that You have materially failed to 
 maintain accurate records of Software use. 
 
 6.	SUPPORT AND SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES.  Except as 
 expressly specified in the Product Guide, VMware does not provide any 
 support or subscription services for the Software under this EULA.  You

 VMware support or subscription services.  These support or subscription 
 services are subject to the Support Services Terms.

 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 VMware or its authorized 
 representative. VMware will, at its own expense and as its sole obligation 
 and Your exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, either replace 
 that Software or correct any reproducible error in that Software reported to 
 VMware by You in writing during the Warranty Period. If VMware 
 determines that it is unable to correct the error or replace the Software, 
 VMware will refund to You the amount paid by You for that Software, in 
 which case the License for that Software will terminate.
 
 7.2	Software Disclaimer of Warranty.  OTHER THAN THE 
 WARRANTY ABOVE, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY 
 APPLICABLE LAW, VMWARE AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO OTHER 
 EXPRESS WARRANTIES UNDER THIS EULA, AND DISCLAIM ALL 
 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A 
 PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY 
 WARRANTY ARISING BY STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW, COURSE 
 OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. VMWARE 
 AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE 
 WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT IT WILL BE FREE FROM 
 DEFECTS OR THAT IT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. 
 
 8.	    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION. 
 
 8.1	Defense and Indemnification.  Subject to the remainder of this 
 Section 8 (Intellectual Property Indemnification), VMware shall defend You 
 against any third party claim that the Software infringes any patent, 
 trademark or copyright of such third party, or misappropriates a trade 
 secret (but only to the extent that the misappropriation is not a result of 
 Your actions) under the laws of: (a) the United States and Canada; (b) the 
 European Economic Area; (c) Australia; (d) New Zealand; (e) Japan; or (f) 
 the People's Republic of China, to the extent that such countries are part 
 of the Territory for the License ("Infringement Claim") and indemnify You 
 from the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against You to such 
 third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement. 
 The foregoing obligations are applicable only if You:  (i) promptly notify 
 VMware in writing of the Infringement Claim; (ii) allow VMware sole control 
 over the defense for the claim and any settlement negotiations; and (iii) 
 reasonably cooperate in response to VMware requests for assistance.  
 You may not settle or compromise any Infringement Claim without the 
 prior written consent of VMware.
 8.2	Remedies.  If the alleged infringing Software become, or in 
 VMware's opinion be likely to become, the subject of an Infringement 
 Claim, VMware will, at VMware's option and expense, do one of the 
 following:  (a) procure the rights necessary for You to make continued use 
 of the affected Software; (b) replace or modify the affected 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) the fees paid by You 
 for the License to the affected Software, less straight-line depreciation 
 over a three (3) year useful life beginning on the date such Software was 
 delivered; and (ii) any pre-paid service fee attributable to related support 
 services to be delivered after the date such service is stopped. Nothing in 
 this Section 8.2 (Remedies) shall limit VMware's obligation under Section 
 8.1 (Defense and Indemnification) to defend and indemnify You, provided 
 that You replace the allegedly infringing Software upon VMware's making 
 alternate Software available to You and/or You discontinue using the 
 allegedly infringing Software upon receiving VMware's notice terminating 
 the affected License.
 8.3	Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, VMware will have no 
 obligation under this Section 8 (Intellectual Property Indemnification) or 
 otherwise with respect to any claim based on:  (a) a combination of 
 Software with non-VMware products (other than non-VMware products 
 that are listed on the Order and used in an unmodified form); (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 VMware version 
 would have avoided the infringement; (d) any modification to the Software 
 made without VMware's express written approval; (e) any claim that 
 relates to open source software or freeware technology or any derivatives 
 or other adaptations thereof that is not embedded by VMware into 
 Software listed on VMware's commercial price list; or (f) any Software 
 provided on a no charge, beta or evaluation basis.  THIS SECTION 8

 FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS OR ACTIONS. 
 
 9.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

 INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, 
 INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY 
 OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, 
 NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.  BECAUSE 
 SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE 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, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS 
 BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, 
 EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE LICENSE FEES YOU PAID FOR THE 
 SOFTWARE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR $5000. 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 ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. 
 
 9.2	Further Limitations.  VMware's licensors shall have no liability of 
 any kind under this EULA and VMware's liability with respect to any third 
 party software embedded in the Software shall be subject to Section 9.1

 purposes of this EULA and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less 
 restrictive than Recipient's duty hereunder.  Recipient will protect 
 Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in 
 the same manner as Recipient protects its own confidential or proprietary 
 information of a similar nature but with no less than reasonable care.
