(including, but not limited to, law implementing the EC Software Directive) provided that, before you
exercise any rights that you believe to be entitled to based on mandatory law, you provide VMware with
30 days prior written notice at SDK_Legal@vmware.com and provide all reasonably requested
information to allow VMware to assess your claim and, at VMware’s sole discretion, to provide
alternatives that reduce any adverse impact on VMware’s intellectual property or other rights.

intellectual property rights therein. You may not remove, delete or modify any of VMware copyright
