Microsoft Deferred Compensation Plan

 Exhibit 10.5 
 MICROSOFT CORPORATION 
 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 

(Restated Effective as of April 15, 2012) 
 1. Purpose. 
 The purpose of the Microsoft Corporation Deferred Compensation
Plan (the “Plan”) is to further the long-term growth of Microsoft Corporation (the “Company”) by allowing selected Company executives and other senior management or highly compensated employees to defer receipt of certain
compensation in order to keep their financial interests aligned with the Company and provide them with a long-term incentive to continue employment with the Company. 

The Plan was formerly known as the 1998 Microsoft Corporation Stock Option Gain and Bonus Deferral Program. The name of the Plan
was changed pursuant to a restatement effective January 1, 2006. 
 This Plan is intended (1) to comply with
section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) and official guidance issued thereunder (except with respect to amounts covered by Appendix B), and (2) to be “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an
employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions. 
 2. Effective Date. 
 The Plan was originally effective November 18, 1998.
Except as specifically set forth below, this restatement of the Plan is effective as of April 15, 2012.

Date in accordance with 5.1(b)(ii). 
 4.2 An Eligible Employee who has been an active Participant under the Plan will
cease to be a Participant on the date his Account is fully distributed. 
 5. Participant Accounts. 

5.1 Elections to Defer Eligible Income. 

(a) Initial Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee may make an irrevocable election to defer the following types of
Eligible Income in one (1) percent increments up to the specified maximum percentages: 
 (i) An Eligible Employee
may elect to defer up to 50% of his Annual Base Salary. 
 (ii) An Eligible Employee may elect to defer up to 100% of a
Performance Review Bonus. 

  
 5 

 (iii) An Eligible Employee may elect to defer up to 90% of New Hire Enrollment
Compensation. 
 Eligible Employees are not permitted to defer gains on the exercise of a stock option under the Plan after
December 31, 2004. 
 (b) Time and Manner of Making an Initial Election. 

(i) An Eligible Employee may make an election to defer one or more types of Regular Enrollment Compensation during an Open
Enrollment period that occurs in the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Regular Enrollment Compensation begins to be earned. A deferral election shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator. An
Employee’s election during such an Open Enrollment period will not be given effect if the Employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee by the last day of the month in which the Open Enrollment period occurs. 

(ii) A Newly Hired Eligible Employee may make an election to defer one or more types of New Hire Enrollment Compensation in
accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, provided such election occurs before his Hire Date and such election shall only apply to amounts earned after the election is filed. A Newly Hired Eligible Employee may make an
election to defer Regular Enrollment Compensation during an Open Enrollment period that follows or coincides with his Hire Date. 
 (c) Alternative Election Deadlines. Notwithstanding the rules in subsection (b), if the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that: 

(i) Eligible Income constitutes Performance-Based Compensation that is based on services performed over a performance period of at
least twelve (12) months, the Plan Administrator may establish procedures, including an Open Enrollment period, under which an Eligible Employee may elect to defer such Performance-Based Compensation, but such election must be made no later
than six (6) months before the end of the performance period; or 
 (ii) Eligible Income constitutes Fiscal Year
Compensation, the Plan Administrator may establish procedures, including an Open Enrollment period, under which an Eligible Employee may elect to defer such Fiscal Year Compensation, but such election must be made no later than the last day of the
Company’s fiscal year immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which services are performed related to such Eligible Income. 
 An Employee’s election under this Section will not be given effect if the Employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee by the deadline stated above for making such an election. 

  
 6 

 (d) Cancellation of Election. If a Participant becomes Disabled, receives a
hardship withdrawal under the 401(k) Plan, or obtains a distribution under Section 6.6 on account of an unforeseeable emergency during a Plan Year, his deferral election for such Plan Year shall be cancelled. 

5.2 Crediting of Deferrals. Eligible Income deferred by a Participant under the Plan shall be credited to the
Participant’s Account as soon as practicable after the amounts would have otherwise been paid to the Participant. 

5.3 Vesting. A Participant shall at all times be one-hundred (100) percent vested in any amounts credited to his
Account. 
 5.4 Investments and Earnings. The Company shall periodically credit gains, losses and earnings to a
Participant’s Account, until the full balance of the Account has been distributed. Amounts shall be credited to a Participant’s Account under this Section based on the results that would have been achieved had amounts credited to the
Account been invested as soon as practicable after crediting into the Investment Options selected by the Participant. The Plan Administrator shall specify procedures to allow Participants to make elections as to the deemed investment of amounts
newly credited to their Accounts, as well as the deemed investment of amounts previously credited to their Accounts. Nothing in this Section or otherwise in the Plan, however, will require the Company to actually invest any amounts in such
Investment Options or otherwise. 
 5.5 Employment Taxes. The Participant’s share of FICA and FUTA taxes owed
on Eligible Income the Participant elects to defer shall be deducted from other compensation payable to the Participant. 
 6.
Distribution of Account Balances. 
 6.1 Distribution Form. 

(a) A Participant may elect to have amounts deferred under the Plan (and earnings thereon) distributed in a lump sum payment or in
annual installments over a period ranging from three (3) to fifteen (15) years. 
 (b) A Participant must
specify the form in which a deferred amount (and earnings thereon) will be distributed at the time of making the initial deferral election under Section 5.1. 

(c) Notwithstanding the distribution form elected under subsection (a), if at the time a portion of a Participant’s Account is
to be distributed, the portion of the balance to be distributed is less than $50,000, that portion shall be distributed in a lump sum payment at such time, provided that this subsection (c) shall not apply to any amounts deferred under the Plan
pursuant to a deferral election that becomes irrevocable on or after June 30, 2011 (and earnings thereon). 

  
 7 

 (d) Distribution of a Participant’s Account balance shall be made in cash.

 6.2 Distribution Time. 
 (a) A Participant may elect to have distribution of a deferred amount (and earnings thereon) commence as of the following dates: 

(i) A specified time (a particular month and year); or 

(ii) Upon the Participant’s Retirement. 

(b) A Participant must specify the date on which distributions will commence at the time of making the initial deferral election
under Section 5.1. 
 (c) If a Participant elects to have a deferred amount distributed as of a specified time, the
specified time must be at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the final payment of the deferred amount would have been made to the Participant absent deferral. 

6.3 Distribution Upon Retirement / Separation From Service. 

(a) If a Participant reaches Retirement Age prior to having a Separation from Service, the distribution election under
Section 6.2(a) will commence as follows: 
 (i) If the Participant elected commencement upon Retirement, the
distribution will commence in the month following Retirement. 
 (ii) If the Participant elected commencement upon a
specified time, the distribution will commence in the specified month and year. 
 (b) Notwithstanding a
Participant’s elections under Sections 6.1 and 6.2, upon a Participant’s Separation from Service prior to reaching Retirement Age, his Account balance shall be distributed in an immediate lump sum payment in the month following the
Separation from Service. 
 (c) Except as otherwise permitted under IRS guidance, if a distribution is to be made upon the
Separation from Service of a Key Employee, distribution may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the Key Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). Any payments that
would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be paid in accordance with the elected distribution method in the seventh month following Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the month after the Key Employee’s death). 

  
 8 

 6.4 Distribution Upon Disability. Notwithstanding a Participant’s
elections under Sections 6.1 and 6.2, if a Participant becomes Disabled prior to attaining Retirement Age while employed with the Company or an Affiliate, his Account balance shall be distributed in an immediate lump sum payment in the month
following the date the Participant becomes Disabled. 
 6.5 Distributions Upon Death. 

(a) Notwithstanding a Participant’s elections under Sections 6.1 and 6.2, if a Participant dies prior to attaining Retirement
Age while employed with the Company or an Affiliate, his Account balance shall be distributed to the Participant’s beneficiary in an immediate single lump sum payment in the month following the date of the Participant’s death. 

(b) A Participant shall designate his beneficiary prior to death in accordance with procedures established by the Plan
Administrator. If a Participant has not properly designated a beneficiary or if no designated beneficiary is living on the date of distribution, such amount shall be distributed to the Participant’s beneficiary designated under the 401(k) Plan,
or if no designated beneficiary under the 401(k) Plan is living, in accordance with the default provisions under the 401(k) Plan. 
 (c) For purposes of determining the proper death beneficiary under this Plan, this Plan shall not be interpreted as preempting applicable state law regarding the ownership rights of Accounts upon a
Participant’s death. For example, although this Plan states that upon a Participant’s death, Account balances will be paid to his beneficiary, the personal representative will be obligated to pay any benefits owed to a spouse or otherwise
as a result of any applicable community property laws. 
 6.6 Withdrawals for Unforeseeable Emergency. A
Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his Account balance for an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amounts distributed with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency may not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency plus
amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by
liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. “Unforeseeable Emergency” means for this purpose a
severe financial hardship to a Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or a dependent of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. 

  
 9 

 Except as otherwise permitted under IRS guidance, a Participant shall be required to
take any available hardship withdrawals from the 401(k) Plan before being eligible to receive a withdrawal under this section. 
 6.7 Changes in Time or Form of Distribution. A Participant may make one or more subsequent elections to change the time or form of a distribution to be made as of a specified time or upon the occurrence of a
distributable event for a deferred amount, but such an election will be effective only if the following conditions are satisfied: 
 (a) The election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; 
 (b) A distribution may not be made earlier than at least five (5) years from the date the distribution would have otherwise been made; 

(c) In the case of an election to change the time or form of a distribution payable as of a specified time, the election must be
made at least twelve (12) months before the date of the first scheduled distribution; and 
 (d) The election may not
result in an impermissible acceleration of payment prohibited under Code section 409A. 
 6.8 Effect of Taxation.
If a portion of the Participant’s Account balance is includible in income under Code section 409A, such portion shall be distributed immediately to the Participant. 

6.9 Payment of Taxes. If state, local, or foreign tax obligations arise from participation in the Plan that apply to an
amount deferred under the Plan before such amount is paid or made available to the Participant (the “Taxes”), the Company shall pay a portion of such deferred amount by distribution (a) to the Participant in the form of withholding
pursuant to provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign law; or (b) directly to the Participant. In no event shall the total payment under this Section 6.9 exceed the aggregate amount of the Taxes, and the income tax withholding
related to such Taxes. 
 6.10 Settlement of Bona Fide Dispute. Subject to certain presumptions under Code section
409A, if an arm’s length, bona fide dispute between a Participant and the Company arises as to the Participant’s right to an amount deferred under the Plan, the payment of the deferred amount as part of a settlement of such dispute shall
be distributed immediately to the Participant. 
 6.11 Offset for Obligations to Company. If the Participant has
any debt, obligation or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company (the “Debt”), incurred in the ordinary course of his employment relationship, the Company shall offset the Debt against the Participant’s Account
balance. The Company shall reduce the Participant’s Account balance in 

  
 10 

 
satisfaction of the Debt at the same time and in the same amount as the Debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant; provided however, in no event shall the amount of
such offset in any of the Company’s taxable years exceed $5,000. 
 6.12 2005 Deferred Compensation. Except as
provided in Appendix C, Sections 6.1-6.11 shall govern the distribution of compensation earned and deferred under the Plan during the 2005 Plan Year. 
 6.13 Pre-2005 Deferrals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Appendix B governs the distribution of amounts that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and regulations thereunder) under
the Plan prior to 2005 (and earnings thereon) and are exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A. 
 7. Administration.

 7.1 General Administration. The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the operation and administration of
the Plan and for carrying out the provisions hereof. The Plan Administrator shall have the full authority and discretion to make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and decide or
resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2, any such action taken by the Plan Administrator shall be final and conclusive on any
party. To the extent the Plan Administrator has been granted discretionary authority under the Plan, the Plan Administrator’s prior exercise of such authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The
Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or other person employed or engaged by the Company with respect to
the Plan. The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to such agents, including other employees of the Company, such administrative duties as it sees fit. 

7.2 Claims for Benefits. 
 (a) Filing a Claim. A Participant or his authorized representative may file a claim for benefits under the Plan. Any claim must be in writing and submitted to the Senior HR Officer at such address as may be
specified from time to time. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant. 

(b) Denial of Claim. In the case of the denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant,
a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received by the Senior HR Officer. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in
writing, prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period. 

  
 11 

 (c) Reasons for Denial. A denial or partial denial of a claim will be dated
and signed by the Senior HR Officer and will clearly set forth: 
 (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

 (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation
of why such material or information is necessary; and 
 (iv) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or
partially denied claim set forth below, including the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review. 

(d) Review of Denial. Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly authorized representative will
have the right to submit a written request to the Senior HR Officer for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Senior HR Officer within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of written notice of the
denial of the claim. A claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for
benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 
 If the claimant fails to file a request for review within
60 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems
relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim. 

(e) Decision Upon Review. The Senior HR Officer will provide a prompt written decision on review. If the claim is denied on
review, the decision shall set forth: 
 (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination; 

(ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based; 

  
 12 

 (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and 
 (iv) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a statement of the claimant’s right to
bring an action under ERISA section 502(a). 
 A decision will be rendered no more than 60 days after the Senior HR
Officer’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Senior HR Officer determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of
time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period. 
 (f) Finality of Determinations; Exhaustion of Remedies. To the extent permitted by law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No
legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during
the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant’s denied claim shall be limited to a
determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any suit or legal action initiated by a claimant under the Plan must be brought by the claimant no
later than one year following a final decision on the claim for benefits by the Senior HR Officer. The one-year limitation on suits for benefits will apply in any forum where a claimant initiates such suit or legal action. 

(g) Disability Claims. Claims for disability benefits shall be determined under the DOL Regulation section 2560.503-1 which
is hereby incorporated by reference. 
 8. Amendment and Termination. 

8.1 Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan when, in the sole discretion of
the Company, such amendment or termination is advisable, pursuant to a resolution or other action taken by the Plan Administrator. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan shall apply to amounts that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and regulations thereunder) under the Plan prior to 2005, unless
the amendment specifically provides that it applies to such amounts. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent a Plan amendment from resulting in an inadvertent “material modification” to amounts that are “grandfathered” and
exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A. 

  
 13 

 8.2 Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment or termination of the
Plan shall decrease the amounts credited to a Participant’s Account as of such amendment or termination. Upon termination of the Plan, Participants’ Account balances shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 6,
unless the Company determines in its sole discretion that all such amounts shall be distributed upon termination in accordance with the requirements under Code section 409A. 
 9. General Provisions. 
 9.1 Rights Unsecured. The right of a
Participant or his beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company, and neither the Participant nor his beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any amount credited to any
Account or any other assets of the Company. The Plan at all times shall be considered entirely unfunded for tax purposes. Any funds set aside by the Company for the purpose of meeting its obligations under the Plan, including any amounts held by a
trustee, shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company and shall be available to its general creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Company’s obligation under this Plan shall
be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. 
 9.2 No Right to Eligible Income.
Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to give any Eligible Employee any right to be granted Eligible Income or any other type of compensation. 
 9.3 No Enlargement of Rights. No Participant or beneficiary shall have any right to receive a distribution under the Plan except in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Establishment of the Plan shall not
be construed to give any Participant the right to continue to be employed by or provide services to the Company or its affiliates or to employment that is not terminable at will. 

9.4 No Guarantee of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by the Company or any other person
or entity that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefits hereunder. 
 9.5 Nonalienation of
Benefits. This Plan inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties hereto and their successors, heirs and assigns; provided, however, that the amounts credited to a Participant’s Account are not, except as provided in Sections 9.6
and 6.11, subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to any benefits payable hereunder, will be null and void and not binding on the Plan or the Company. 

  
 14

 Distribution of amounts that were earned and
vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and regulations thereunder) under the Plan prior to 2005 (and earnings thereon) and are exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A shall be made in accordance with the Plan terms as in effect on
December 31, 2004 and as summarized in this Appendix B. 
 B.1 Timing. As soon as practicable following the
final day of the Deferral Period for a specific deferral, the Company will distribute to the Participant (or in the case of the Participant’s death, his estate), all proceeds in the Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account and will issue to
the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, the personal representative or beneficiaries of his estate) shares of Stock credited to the Participant’s Deferred Stock Option Gain Account, that are attributed to that
deferral. With respect to a specific deferral, the final day of the Deferral Period shall be the earliest of the last day of the Deferral Period selected by the Participant or the date he has a Termination of Employment. Upon Termination of
Employment, a Participant will have the same rights with respect to an unexercised Option that he would have if he had not elected to defer the Stock Option Gain relating to that Option. The portion of a Participant’s Accounts that can be
attributed to a specific deferral shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator. 
 B.2
Extension of Deferral Period. On a one-time basis with respect to each deferral, a Participant may elect in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator to extend the Deferral Period for a Bonus or Stock Option Gain for an
additional five (5), seven (7), or ten (10) years, provided that such extension is elected in the calendar year prior, and at least six (6) months prior, to the expiration of the initial Deferral Period and the Participant is an Eligible
Executive at the time he makes the election to extend the Deferral Period. 
 B.3 Disability. In the event of a
Participant’s Disability and upon application by such Participant, the Plan Administrator may determine that payment of all, or part, of such Participant’s Accounts shall be made in a different manner, or on an earlier date than the time
or times specified in Section B.1 above, but only to the extent determined by the Plan Administrator to be reasonably required to satisfy the Participant’s need. 

B.4 Investment of Accounts. Notwithstanding Section 5.4, a Participant shall not have the right to select among
Investment Options for amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferred Stock Option Gain Account. Such amounts shall be treated as if invested in Stock at all times. 

B.5 Definitions. For purposes of this Appendix B, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below: 

  
 18 

 Bonus means the amount payable by the Company to an Eligible Employee as an
individual performance bonus, executive bonus or any other bonus/incentive award that is approved by the Plan Administrator for deferral under the Plan. 
 Deferral Period means with respect to a specific deferral of a Bonus or Stock Option Gain, the period of five (5), seven (7), or ten (10) years from the date on which the corresponding Bonus would
otherwise have been paid or the date the Option was scheduled to expire had it not been exercised; provided that, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Deferral Period shall end on the date of Termination of
Employment. 
 Deferred Bonus Account means a bookkeeping account established for Bonuses deferred under the Plan.

 Deferred Stock Option Gain Account means a bookkeeping account established for Stock Option Gains deferred under
the Plan. 
 Disability means any long-term disability as defined under the Company’s long-term disability
plan. The Plan Administrator, in its complete and sole discretion, shall determine a Participant’s Disability. The Plan Administrator may require that the Participant submit to an examination on an annual basis, at the expense of the Company,
by a competent physician or medical clinic selected by the Plan Administrator to assist in the determination of Disability. On the basis of such medical evidence, the determination of the Plan Administrator as to whether or not a condition of
Disability exists or continues shall be conclusive. 
 Eligible Executive means a full-time employee of the Company
who is (i) an elected officer of the Company, (ii) at the level of Vice President or above, (iii) at Level 16 or above on the Company’s salary range, and (iv) working within the United States of America. In addition, the
Plan Administrator may, in his or her discretion, extend coverage to persons who are selected by the Plan Administrator and who either (y) meet all of the foregoing requirements except that they are working outside of the United States of
America, or (z) are officers of a subsidiary of the Company. 
 Mature Shares means shares of the
Company’s Stock delivered by a Participant in payment of the exercise price of an Option; provided that Mature Shares shall not include any shares of the Company’s Stock that may be received upon exercise of such Option, nor Stock that the
Participant purchased pursuant to a prior stock option exercise which occurred less than six months prior to the exercise of such Option. 
 Option shall mean one or more non-qualified stock options, issued to a Participant under any stock option plan of the Company, with respect to which the Participant has elected to defer the Stock Option
Gain. Option shall not include any rights under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 
 Stock –
means Microsoft Corporation common stock. 

  
 19 

 Stock Option Gain means the number of shares underlying an Option minus the
number of Mature Shares required to pay the exercise price for those shares. For example, if a Participant elects to defer the gain on 100 shares and is required to deliver 10 shares of Stock as payment for the exercise price on the 100 shares, the
Stock Option Gain will be 90 shares. 
 Termination of Employment means the termination of the Participant’s
employment relationship with the Company for any reason including, without limitation, involuntary termination with or without cause, voluntary termination, disability, death, or retirement.

them in the Plan and Appendix B.

his estate) all proceeds in the Participant’s Deferred Bonus Account that are attributed to a specific deferral upon the earlier of: (1) the last day of the Deferral Period elected by the Participant; or (2) the date of the
Participant’s Separation from Service; provided that, if a distribution is to be made upon the Separation from Service of a Key Employee, such distribution is subject to the six month delay set forth in Section 6.3(c) of the Plan.

 For purposes of this Appendix C, “Deferral Period” means with respect to a specific deferral of a Bonus, the
period, as elected by the Participant at the time of the deferral election, of five (5), seven (7), or ten (10) years from the date on which the corresponding Bonus would otherwise have been paid. 

C-3. Changes in Time or Form of Distribution. To the extent the Company allows a Participant to make a subsequent election
to change the time or form of distribution of 2005 Income deferred under the Plan, such election will be effective only if the conditions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Plan are satisfied. 

C-4. General Application of the Plan. Other than as set forth above, the terms of the Plan in all other respects and in
compliance with Code section 409A shall govern the distribution of 2005 Income deferred under the Plan from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005.

Section 4.1 Organization and Power. Investor (a) is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws of the State of Texas, and (b) has all limited liability company power and authority necessary to carry on its business as now conducted. 

  
 13 

 Section 4.2 Limited Liability Company and Governmental Authorization. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by Investor are within its limited liability company powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, require no action by or in
respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority (other than filings with any applicable securities regulatory authorities to perfect exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of applicable securities Laws), and, except

agreement binding upon Investor or its assets, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Investor. 

Section 4.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Investor enforceable in accordance with
its terms except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles

(i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting creditors rights generally, and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.
Investor has been funded in an amount sufficient to fulfill its purchase obligation under Section 2.1.

expense arising out of, or in connection with, any such right or claim asserted by an Person.

any business, assets or properties or serving in any capacity with a public company, nor, to the Knowledge of Investor, is Investor or any officer, director, employee or Affiliate of Investor under investigation by any Governmental Authority.

 Section 4.6 Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transfer. Investor represents that it is acquiring the Securities for
its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Investor is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act. Investor
understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, and that accordingly, they will not be fully transferable except as permitted under various exemptions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, or upon satisfaction of the

registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws. Investor acknowledges that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the
Securities for an indefinite period of time (subject, however, to the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) since they have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws and
therefore cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from registration is available. Absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws covering the disposition of the
