To EMC Corporation and VMware, Inc.:

I previously received a copy of the Offer to Exchange dated July 9, 2007 and the related Letter of Transmittal. I either, through the Election Site for the EMC—VMware Exchange Program at https://www.corp-action.net/vmware or by signing and returning the Letter of Transmittal, tendered for exchange certain options or restricted stock pursuant to the Offer to Exchange. I now wish to withdraw my tender with respect to the stock option or restricted stock grant(s) specified below. I understand that by withdrawing my tender with respect to the stock option or restricted stock grant(s) specified below, I am withdrawing my tender of all the options or restricted stock covered by such specified grant(s).

I understand and acknowledge that, by withdrawing my previously tendered options and shares of restricted stock specified below, I will not be granted any options or restricted stock in exchange for such previously tendered options or restricted stock and I will retain such options and restricted stock with their term(s), vesting schedule(s), other terms and conditions and with respect to options, existing exercise price(s). I also understand and acknowledge that all of such options and shares of restricted stock will continue to be governed by the equity award plan under which they were granted and the form(s) of option or restricted stock agreement(s) previously provided to me in connection with the grant of such options or restricted stock.


I hereby withdraw all of the eligible options or shares of restricted stock subject to the option or restricted stock grant(s) listed below which I previously tendered for exchange and cancellation pursuant to the Offer. I have therefore completed this Notice of Withdrawal in accordance with the withdrawal instructions on the next page and have signed exactly as my name appears on the Notice of Grant for such options or restricted stock previously delivered to me.
