 Fourth Joint Memorandum by Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and Novell, Inc. (“Novell”) 

 

	 	Re:	Incremental Prepayment for SLES Subscription Rights for Asia Pacific Region 

 Background on Prior Joint Memoranda/Amendments: On November 2, 2006, Microsoft and Novell entered into a Business Collaboration Agreement (“Original BCA”). The Original BCA
defines the terms and conditions under which Novell will sell to Microsoft for distribution to prospective shared customers and other SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (“SLES”) licensees, the right to enroll in SLES support subscriptions
(“Prepaid Subscription Rights”). 
 On December 28, 2006, the parties executed a Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment
#1”) regarding participation by the parties’ respective Irish subsidiaries in the Original BCA. On January 16, 2007, the parties executed a First Amended and Restated Business Collaboration Agreement, superseding the Original BCA
(such First Amended and Restated Business Collaboration Agreement, the “BCA”). Also on January 16, 2007, the parties executed a Second Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #2”) regarding the impact of a
January 16, 2007 participation agreement entered into between the parties’ respective Irish subsidiaries on the BCA. On May 1, 2007 the parties executed a Third Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #3”) regarding certain
expanded SLES Subscriptions available under Prepaid Subscription Rights. 
 This Fourth Joint Memorandum: This Fourth
Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #4”) is entered into as of December 21, 2007 (“4th Effective Date”) and is written to promote the use of SLES in the Asia Pacific region. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall
have the same meaning as set forth in the BCA. 
 Amendment: The following BCA amendments apply solely to the incremental purchase
of SLES Subscription certificates (and distribution of such certificates) by Microsoft [***]. The BCA (including all amendments thereto) is hereby modified as follows: 
  

	1.	Section 4.1 of the BCA is amended by inserting the following as the last sentence: 

Solely with respect to the SLES Subscription certificates purchased under this BCA Amendment #4 for distribution in the Asia Pacific
region, Microsoft’s purchase price for the right to enroll in a single SLES Subscription shall equal [***]. 
  

	2.	Section 4.2 of the BCA is amended by adding the following as a new section 4.2(d): 

 

	 	4.2(d)	Microsoft will purchase from Novell [***] Prepaid Subscription Rights for delivery to Shared Customers or SLES licensees in the Asia Pacific region, including through
any Microsoft-authorized reseller (the “Asia Pacific Commitment”). Microsoft may use up to half (or such other proportion on which the parties may otherwise agree) of the Asia Pacific Commitment to purchase Multi-Year Subscriptions.
Microsoft will pay Novell the Asia Pacific Commitment [***]. Novell will deliver to Microsoft Subscription Certificates reflecting such Prepaid Subscription Rights as follows: [***], and will include as part of such delivery any Multi-Year
Subscriptions requested by Microsoft. Microsoft may also order delivery of additional Subscription Certificates purchased through the Asia Pacific Commitment [***].

	3.	The BCA is amended by adding the following as a new section 4.3(e): 

  

	 	4.3(e)	Territorial Restriction. For the SLES Subscription certificates made available under this BCA Amendment #4, the parties anticipate sale and delivery of all such
certificates to customers located in the People’s Republic of China. If, however, opportunities arise for selling and delivering the certificates to other countries in the Asia Pacific region (e.g., Japan), the parties agree to execute any
necessary agreements to enable the proper Novell and Microsoft entities to participate as sellers and buyers of record in such countries. 

  

	4.	 Marketing. The parties further agree to develop a mutually acceptable field marketing plan, [***], to promote the sale and delivery of SLES
Subscription certificates in the Asia Pacific region. Within 30 days after the 4th Memorandum Effective Date, the parties will define a sales and marketing plan for this Asia Pacific Commitment. 

 

	5.	Termination: This BCA Amendment #4 shall run concurrently with the Agreement and be subject to the same termination provisions. 

 

	6.	Effect. Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this BCA Amendment #4, the parties hereby ratify and confirm that terms and conditions of the BCA
remain in full force and effect. 

  

	7.	Counterparts. This BCA Amendment #4 may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but each together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. For purposes hereof, a facsimile copy of this BCA Amendment #4, including the signature pages hereto, shall be deemed to be an original. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall deliver original signature copies of this BCA
Amendment #4 to the other party as soon as practicable following execution thereof.

 Fifth Joint Memorandum by Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and Novell, Inc. (“Novell”) 

 

	 	Re:	Expanded SLES Subscriptions available under Prepaid Subscription Rights 

 Background on Prior Joint Memoranda/Amendments: On November 2, 2006, Microsoft and Novell entered into a Business Collaboration Agreement (“Original BCA”). On
December 28, 2006, the parties executed a Joint Memorandum 
 (“BCA Amendment #1”) regarding participation by the
parties’ respective Irish subsidiaries in the Original BCA. On January 16, 2007, the parties executed a First Amended and Restated Business Collaboration Agreement, superseding the Original BCA (such First Amended and Restated Business
Collaboration Agreement, the “BCA”). Also on January 16, 2007. the parties executed a Second Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #2”) regarding the impact of a January 16, 2007 participation agreement entered
into between the parties’ respective Irish subsidiaries on the BCA. On May 1, 2007 the parties executed a Third Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #3”) regarding certain expanded SLES Subscriptions available under Prepaid
Subscription Rights. On December 21, 2007, the parties executed a Fourth joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #4”) regarding promotion of SLES in the Asia Pacific region. 
 This Fifth Joint Memorandum: This Fifth Joint Memorandum (“BCA Amendment #5”) is written to memorialize certain BCA changes to enable Microsoft, using a portion of its Prepaid
Subscription Rights, to provide Subscription Certificates that entitle certain customers to receive from Novell SLES High Performance Computing (“HPC”) Subscriptions (as defined below), as well as to memorialize the agreed-upon
pricing for such Subscription Certificates for purposes of Section 4.2(a) of the BCA. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the BCA. 
 Amendment: Solely for the purpose of creating a HPC Subscription under Section 4.3(a)(iii) below, the BCA is hereby modified as follows: 

 

	1.	Section 1.18. Section 1.18 of the BCA is amended by adding the following to the end of the subsection: 

 

	 	1.18	In addition, for the purpose of Section 4.3(a)(iii), SLES Subscription may also mean a SLES HPC Subscription. Further, where used elsewhere in the BCA (or
where incorporated into the definition of terms used elsewhere in the BCA), the term “SLES Subscription” may mean a SLES HPC Subscription that may be made available through Microsoft’s distribution of 

  
 [*** Confidential Treatment
Requested] 

	 	 
Subscription Certificates under Section 4.3(a)(iii). As used herein, “SLES HPC Subscription” means a subscription for Shared Customers or other SLES licensees to receive the
same support as that provided, as of the Effective Date, under Novell’s standard “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server HPC Subscription” offering. A SLES HPC Subscription is equivalent to a SLES Priority Subscription as defined in
Section 1.16, with the exception that the duration of each SLES HPC Subscription is for three years only. 

  

	2.	Section 4.3(a). Section 4.3 of the BCA is amended by adding a new third paragraph (iii) as follows: 

 

	 	4.3(a)(iii)	Novell further authorizes Microsoft to distribute (directly or indirectly) Subscription Certificates for SLES HPC Subscriptions to HPC Customers. As used herein,
an “HPC Customer” is a Shared Customer or other SLES licensee utilizing one or more high performance computing applications (as defined by Novell) and meeting mutually approved sales guidelines of the Novell and Microsoft sales
teams. It is the intention of the parties that an HPC Customer will be a new Novell customer, i.e. not having purchased operating system software from Novell in the previous 36 months, and will place an initial minimum order of 500 subscription
units. For clarification, nothing in this Section 4.3(a)(iii) restricts Microsoft from distributing, or requires Novell approval to distribute, Subscription Certificates for SLES Standard Subscriptions or SLES Priority Subscriptions to its
customers as authorized under Section 4 of the BCA, but Microsoft is only authorized to distribute SLES HPC Subscriptions pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.3(a)(iii) unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. The parties
will agree on a process for ordering SLES HPC Subscription Certificates under this section 4.3(a)(iii), and will specify in such order that it is for an HPC Customer and any other information agreed upon by the parties in writing. [***] shall be
available as Prepaid Subscription Rights [***], and any such order will constitute an order of “additional Subscription Certificates” under section 4.2 of the BCA. [***], any future orders for SLES HPC Subscriptions will follow the same
pricing set forth in section 4.2(a) below. 

  

	3.	Section 4.2(a). Section 4.2(a) of the BCA is amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the paragraph: 

 

	 	4.2(a)	For purposes of determining the value, or purchase price, of Subscription Certificates delivered to Microsoft under section 4.3(a)(iii), for further delivery to
HPC, Customers in conjunction with this BCA Amendment #5, each SLES HPC Subscription shall [***].

	4.	Effect. Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this BCA Amendment #5, the parties hereby ratify and confirm that terms and conditions of the BCA remain
in full force and effect. 

  

	5.	Counterparts. This BCA Amendment #5 may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but each together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. For purposes hereof, a facsimile copy of this BCA Amendment #5, including the signature pages hereto, shall be deemed to be an original. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall deliver original signature copies of this BCA
Amendment #5 to the other party as soon as practicable following execution thereof.
