 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the costs for Services described below, EMC agrees to provide or cause to be provided to the VMware Entities, and VMware agrees to
purchase from EMC, the Services, until such Services are terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
 (b) The

 ARTICLE III 
 SERVICE COSTS; OTHER CHARGES 
 Section 3.01 Service Costs. 
 (a) Each Service (other than Additional Services) will be provided at the price per hour, or per Full Time Equivalent Employee, as applicable, indicated in Schedule I. The aggregate price for any Service to be provided will be determined by
multiplying the fully-burdened cost for a Full Time Equivalent Employee providing such Service multiplied by the number of such Full Time Equivalent Employees actually providing such Service. If the level of service indicated on Schedule I for any
Service requires one or more Full Time Equivalent Employees, or changes by one or more Full Time Equivalent Employees, the price for such 

  

 4 

 
Service will be calculated according to the formula in the preceding sentence. In the event that the level of Service indicated on Schedule I requires less
than one Full Time Equivalent Employee, or changes by less than one Full Time Equivalent Employee, the price for such Service shall be calculated based on the hourly rate for such Service set forth in Schedule I, based on the number of hours
actually worked by the Full Time Equivalent Employee providing such Service. For purposes of this Agreement, “fully-burdened cost” means the total cost of employment to EMC with respect to each Full Time Equivalent Employee, including such
employee’s salary, bonus and other compensation (excluding equity-based awards) and employment-related insurance, benefits and taxes, minus the value of any tax deductions associated with the compensation and other benefits provided to
such employee that are realizable by EMC or other relevant EMC Entity. 
 (b) Any Additional Services shall be billed by EMC
on a time and materials basis or as otherwise agreed between the parties in writing, provided that the labor rate associated with the provision of such Additional Services shall be the hourly rate derived from the fully-burdened cost
of the Full Time Equivalent Employee performing such Services and the cost of materials shall be no higher than that actually paid by the relevant EMC entity. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Services performed by a Subcontractor on EMC’s behalf shall be billed on a time and materials
basis and the labor rates payable in connection therewith shall be the rate paid by EMC to such Subcontractor, which rates shall have been approved in advance, in writing, by VMware, and the cost of materials shall be no higher than that actually
paid by EMC to such Subcontractor. 
 Section 3.02 Payment.

in reasonable detail for the period covered by such invoice (i) the Services rendered, (ii) the aggregate amount charged for each type of Service provided and (iii) such additional information as VMware may reasonably request within
15 days after the end of a quarter. Each invoice shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of VMware or such other person designated in writing from time to time by the VMware Chief Executive Officer or Chief
Financial Officer. Each such invoice shall be payable within thirty-five (35) days after receipt by VMware, provided that if VMware, in good faith, disputes any invoiced charge, payment of such charge may be made only after mutual
resolution of such dispute. VMware agrees to notify EMC promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following receipt of EMC’s invoice, of any disputed charges.

operations.

including salary or wages, of its employees performing the Services. No person providing Services to a VMware Entity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be, or shall have any rights as, an employee of any VMware Entity.
