                  printing and packaging of all the plastic parts from said
                  molds. Once built and paid for by Retrac, all molds will be
                  owned by and be the exclusive property of Retrac Medical, Inc.

                  plastic parts described as the Retrac retractable needle
                  safety syringe.

         3)       ATM further agrees, at ATM's own expense, to establish and
                  constrict a limited access assembly and packaging area,
                  meeting standards appropriate for such medical device assembly
                  and in compliance with U.S Quality System Regulations (title
                  21, CFR) This area will be used exclusively for the printing,
                  assembly and packaging of the Retrac syringe.

         4)       In the consideration of establishing this assembly room
                  facility Retrac will award ATM exclusive the right to
                  manufacture, design and build the pre-production and the

                  Corporation to sell Retrac retractable needle safety syringes
                  under the Terumo flame. Retrac desires to produce all syringes

                  of the syringe be produced by Terumo as a condition of the
                  agreement, ATM will have exclusive right to build molds and do

                             SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT

     This Shareholder Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of December 21, 2000, between Microsoft Corporation, a Washington corporation
("Microsoft"), and the undersigned Shareholder(s) ("Shareholder") of Great
Plains Software, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("Company").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     A.   Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Company, Microsoft
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft ("Sub") have entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement"), which
provides for the merger (the "Merger") of Sub with and into Company.  Pursuant
to the Merger, all outstanding capital stock of Company will be converted into
Microsoft Common Stock.

     B.   The Shareholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of
such number of shares of the outstanding Common Stock of Company as indicated on
the final page of this Agreement (the "Shares").

     C.   In consideration of the execution of the Reorganization Agreement by
Microsoft, Shareholder agrees not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
Shares, or any other shares of capital stock of Company acquired by Shareholder
hereafter and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1.1 below),
and agrees to vote the Shares and any other such shares of capital stock of
Company so as to facilitate consummation of the Merger.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   Agreement to Retain Shares.

          1.1  Transfer and Encumbrance.  Until the Expiration Date (as defined
below), Shareholder agrees not to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge or otherwise
dispose of or encumber the Shares or any New Shares (as defined in Section 1.2
below) unless each person to whom Shares are sold, exchanged, transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered agrees in writing to hold such
Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  As used herein,
the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) such date and
time as the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Reorganization Agreement and (ii) such date and time as the
Reorganization Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the terms
therein.

<PAGE>

          1.2  New Shares.  Shareholder agrees that any shares of capital stock
of Company that Shareholder purchases or with respect to which Shareholder
otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after the date of this Agreement and
prior to the Expiration Date ("New Shares") shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares.

     2.   Agreement to Vote Shares.  Until the Expiration Date, at every meeting
of the shareholders of Company called with respect to any of the following, and
at every adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent
of the Shareholders of Company with respect to any of the following, Shareholder
shall vote the Shares and any New Shares:  (i) in favor of approval of the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger and any matter that could reasonably be
expected to facilitate the Merger, and (ii) against approval of any proposal
made in opposition to or in competition with consummation of the Merger and the
Reorganization Agreement, against any merger, consolidation, sale of assets,
reorganization or recapitalization with any party other than Microsoft or its
affiliates and against any liquidation or winding up of Company (each of the
foregoing is hereinafter referred to as an "Opposing Proposal").  Shareholder
agrees not, directly or indirectly, to solicit or encourage any offer from any
party concerning the possible disposition of all or any substantial portion of
Company's business, assets or capital stock.  This Agreement is intended to bind
Shareholder as a shareholder of Company only with respect to the specific

director of Company.

     3.   Irrevocable Proxy.  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
Shareholder agrees to deliver to Microsoft a proxy in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Proxy"), which shall be irrevocable to the extent provided in
Section 302A.449 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA") as this
Proxy is coupled with an interest in the Shares, covering the total number of
Shares and New Shares of capital stock of Company beneficially owned (as such
term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by Shareholder set forth
therein.  This Proxy is not terminable under 302A.449 subd. 7 of the MBCA since
Company has elected not to be subject to Section 302A.671 of the MBCA.

     4.   Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Shareholder.  Shareholder
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Company as follows:

of capital stock of Company other than the Shares (excluding shares as to which
Shareholder currently disclaims beneficial ownership in accordance with
applicable law); and (iii) has full power and authority to make, enter into and

Agreements; (ii) initiate a Shareholders' vote or action by written consent of
Company Shareholders with respect to an Opposing Proposal; or (iii) become a
