VMware(r) vSphere Software Development Kit License Agreement

VMware, Inc. ("VMware") provides the VMware vSphere Software 
Development Kit (collectively the "Software") to you subject to the 
following terms and conditions.  By downloading, installing, or using 
the Software, you (the individual or legal entity) agree to be bound by 
the terms of this license agreement (the "Agreement"). If you disagree 
with any of the following terms, then do not use the Software.

1.  The Software contains a variety of materials, interface definitions, 
documentation, sample utility applications and sample code regarding 
programming interfaces to one or more VMware products that are referenced 
in such materials (the referenced products, "VMware Products").  This 
Software is intended to be used to develop software that interacts with the 
VMware Products. 

2.  USE RIGHTS:  Subject to the restrictions below, you may download and 
make a reasonable number of copies of the Software for your use solely for 
the purpose of creating software that communicates with VMware Products 
(your software, "Developer Software").  Some code may be designated as 
"distributable code" and/or "modifiable code" at 
http://www.vmware.com/go/vwssdk-redistribution-info. You may use and 
merge all or portions of the "distributable code" with your Developer Software. 
Any merged portion of any "distributable code" is subject to this Agreement. 
Additionally, you may modify or create derivative works of all or portions of 
the "modifiable code." You are permitted to re-distribute the "distributable 
code" and the modified or derivative works of the "modifiable code" only as 
part of your Developer Software for non-commercial or commercial use; 
provided that you shall only distribute such code subject to a license 
agreement that protects VMware's and its licensors' interests consistent with 
the terms contained in this Agreement.  Open source software components 
provided with the Software are licensed to you under the terms of the 
applicable license agreements included with such open source software 
components. The open source software licenses can be found in the 
open_source_licenses.txt file, other materials accompanying the Software, 
the documentation or corresponding source files available at 
http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html.  

3.  RESTRICTIONS:  You agree that you will not (1) use the Software to 
create, design or develop anything other than Developer Software; (2) make 
any more copies of the Software than are reasonably necessary for the 
authorized use and backup and archival purposes; (3) modify, create 
derivative works of, reverse engineer, reverse compile, or disassemble the 
Software except as expressly permitted in Section 2; (4) distribute, sell, lease, 
rent, lend, or sublicense any part of the Software to any third party except as 
expressly permitted in Section 2; or (5) use the Software in any manner to (a) 
circumvent any technical restrictions of VMware Products or violate any 
additional licensing terms applicable to VMware Products that VMware 
provides through product documentation, email notification on the VMware 
website or in the terms of the End User License Agreements; (b) disable, 
remove, over-ride or modify the display of any VMware Product End User 
License Agreements that the VMware Products present to the end customers; 
or (c) upload or otherwise transmit any material containing software viruses or 
other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit 
the functionality of any software or hardware.  

The restrictions in this Section 3 shall not apply if and to the extent they 
contradict mandatory local law (including, but not limited to, law implementing 
the EC Software Directive).  

4.   VMware retains ownership of the Software and all intellectual property 
rights embodied in the Software, including without limitation all copyrights, 
trade secrets and patents. You may not remove, delete or modify any of 
VMware copyright statements in the Software.  ALL RIGHTS NOT 
EXPRESSLY GRANTED HEREUNDER ARE RESERVED TO VMWARE.

5.  You may not use VMware's name, trademarks or service marks in 
connection with your Developer Software in a way that suggests your 
Developer Software is certified or endorsed by VMware. 

6.  You are not entitled under this Agreement to receive any VMware support 
or subscription services for the Software or any other services from VMware 
in connection with the Software. If you have purchased support and/or 
subscription services for a VMware product, such support and/or subscription 
services shall not apply to the Software or your use of the Software.    

7.  TERM, TERMINATION & CHANGES:  This Agreement shall continue as 
long as you are in compliance with the terms specified herein or until 
otherwise terminated. You or VMware each may terminate this Agreement for 
any reason at any time. You agree, upon termination, to destroy all copies of 
the Software within your possession or control. The Confidential Information, 
Limitations of Warranties and Liability, and Indemnification sections set out in 
this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

8.  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION:  "Confidential Information" means any 
information disclosed by VMware to you pursuant to this Agreement that is 
marked "Confidential," "Proprietary," or in some similar manner and any 
information which you knew or reasonably should have known to be 
confidential. You shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information of 
VMware and shall not use such Confidential Information except to exercise 
your rights or perform your obligations under this Agreement. You will protect 
Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the 
same manner as you protect your own confidential or proprietary information 
of a similar nature but with no less than reasonable care. You shall not 
disclose such Confidential Information to any third party during or after the 
term of this Agreement. This paragraph will not apply to any Confidential 
Information that: (a) was rightfully in your possession prior to receipt of such 
Confidential Information from VMware; (b) is or becomes a matter of public 
knowledge through no fault of you; (c) is rightfully received from a third party 
without a duty of confidentiality; (d) is independently developed by you without 
breach of any confidentiality obligations; (e) is disclosed by you with 
VMware's prior written approval; or (f) you are required to disclose by 
applicable law or court order, provided that you notify VMware of such 
required disclosure promptly in writing and cooperate with VMware in any 
lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure. You 
acknowledge that breach of this Section 8 will cause irreparable damage to 
VMware for which monetary damages will be an inadequate remedy.  
Accordingly, VMware will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive and any 
other relief (legal or equitable) to restrain any breach or anticipated breach of 
this Section 8.

9.  LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES & LIABILITY:  THE SOFTWARE IS 
PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE 
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VMWARE 
DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT 
LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, 
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO 
EVENT WILL VMWARE BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR 
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, 
LOSS OF DATA, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE SOFTWARE OR 
YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, 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 LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE 
SOFTWARE PROVIDED HEREUNDER WILL NOT, IN ANY EVENT, 
EXCEED US$100.00.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM 
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REGARDLESS OF 
WHETHER VMWARE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF 
SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY 
FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

10.  INDEMNIFICATION: You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless 
VMware, and any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents, 
from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and other 
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), arising from your 
modification of the "modifiable code," the distribution or use of your Developer 
Software by you or anyone else, and your breach of this Agreement.

11.  EXPORT CONTROL: You acknowledge that the Software is of United 
States origin, is provided subject to the U.S. Export Administration 
Regulations, may be subject to the export control laws of the applicable 
territory, and that diversion contrary to applicable export control laws is 
prohibited. You represent, warrant and covenant that (1) you are not, and are 
not acting on behalf of, (a) any person who is a citizen, national, or resident 
of, or who is controlled by the government of any country to which the United 
States has prohibited export transactions; or (b) any person or entity listed on 
the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals and 
Blocked Persons, or the U.S. Commerce Department Denied Persons List or 
Entity List; and (2) you will not permit the Software to be used for any 
purposes prohibited by law, including, any prohibited development, design, 
manufacture or production of missiles or nuclear, chemical or biological 
weapons.

12.  DATA PRIVACY:

(a) Consent for Collection and Use of Technical Data. You agree 
that VMware may periodically collect, process and store technical 
and related information about your device, system, application, 
peripherals and your use of the Software, including without 
limitation: internet protocol address, hardware identification, 
operating system, application software, peripheral hardware, 
number of active plugins and software development kits, the 
successful installation and launch of Software, and  Software usage 
statistics (collectively, "Technical Data"). VMware will use Technical 
Data for internal statistical and analytical purposes to facilitate 
support, invoicing or online services, the provisioning of updates, 
and the development of VMware products and services. VMware 
may transfer Technical Data to other companies in the VMware 
worldwide group of companies from time to time. 

(b) Log Files. You acknowledge that correspondence and log files 
generated in conjunction with a request for support services may 
contain sensitive, confidential or personal information. You are 
solely responsible for taking the steps necessary to protect such 
data, including obfuscating the logs or otherwise guarding such 
information prior to sending it to VMware.

13.  These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and the 
United States of America without regard to conflict of laws principles. The 
United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. 
You may not assign this Agreement. Any attempted assignment by you shall 
be void. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and 
VMware with respect to the Software and supersede all prior written or oral 
communications, understandings and agreements. Any waiver of these terms 
must be in writing and signed by the waiving party to be effective. If any 
provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining 
terms will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted 
by law.
