2003 INDEMNIFICATION TRUST AGREEMENT This 2003 INDEMNIFICATION TRUST AGREEMENT (Trust or Agreement) is established as of June 30, 2003, between MICROSOFT CORPORATION, a Washington corporation (Grantor), and BNY WESTERN TRUST COMPANY (Trustee), whose address is Two Union Square, Suite 1720, 601 Union Street, Seattle, Washington 98101-2321, and, as an additional party, William G. Reed, Jr. (the Beneficiaries Representative). RECITALS A. The Grantor has established this Trust to be a source of indemnification for the Grantors directors who are eligible for such indemnification as stated in this Trust as it is in effect from time to time. B. The Grantor has determined, after due diligence, that it has and will derive substantial economic benefits of this Trust, including economic terms that are more favorable to the Grantor than obtaining protection for its directors through the current director insurance market. C. The Grantors Articles of Incorporation (the Articles) provide for mandatory indemnification of the Grantors directors to the maximum extent provided by law, and as such, this Trust is not an exclusive source of indemnification for such directors. D. The Grantor has determined that the Trust is necessary in order for the Grantor to attract and retain the most qualified directors. E. The capitalized terms have the meaning ascribed to them in the body of this Trust. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantor transfers to the Trustee funds as stated on Exhibit A of this Agreement and the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the funds and accepts the trust created hereby and agrees that it will hold all property which it may receive hereunder, as custodian IN TRUST, for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, and Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiaries Representative agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS Act means the Washington Business Corporation Act RCW 23B or succession legislation.
Cash means (a) currency of the United States, and (b) certificates of deposit or time deposits having, in each case, a tenor of not more than six (6) months, issued by any U.S. commercial bank or any branch or agency of a non-U.S. bank licensed to conduct business in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus of not less than $250,000,000 (including the Trustee and its affiliates.). Claim or Claims includes, without limitation, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, derivative, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise, initiated by a person other than the Beneficiary (including any Claims by or in the right of Grantor), unless the Claim was initiated by the Beneficiary in good faith to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under the Articles, this Trust or applicable statute. Covered Act means any act or omission (including, without limitation, any alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, or otherwise, or appearing as or preparing to be a witness) by a Beneficiary, and any Claim against such Beneficiary, by reason of the fact that that Beneficiary is or was a director of Grantor, or of any subsidiary or division, or is or was serving at the request of Grantor as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise. Corporate Securities means USD denominated senior debt obligations that are obligations (whether direct or by virtue of guarantees) of corporations organized in the United States whose long-term, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities are rated at least A (or its equivalent successor rating) in the case of Standard & Poors Ratings Group or A2 (or its equivalent successor rating) in the case of Moodys Investors Service, Inc. Eligible Securities means Cash, Treasury Securities, Government Securities and Municipal Securities, Corporate Securities, Money Market Funds and Other Eligible Securities. All Eligible Securities must be in a form suitable for delivery and retransfer, and must be capable of being priced by recognized third-party dealers. Excluded Claim means any payment for Losses or Expenses in connection with any Claim the payment of which is Ultimately Determined to be prohibited by the Act, public policy, or other applicable law (including binding regulations and orders or, and undertakings or other commitments with, any governmental entity or agency) as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits Grantor to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted Grantor to provide prior to such amendment). Expenses means any reasonable expenses incurred by Beneficiary as a result of a Claim or Claims made against him or her for Covered Acts including, without limitation, counsel fees and costs of investigative, judicial, or administrative proceedings and any appeals. Fines shall include any fine, penalty or, with respect to an employee benefit plan, any excise tax, or penalty assessed with respect thereto.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made this 1st day of June, 1993, by and between Microsoft Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and ______________ ("Indemnitee"), a director and/or executive officer of the Company and William G. Reed, Jr. (the initial "Beneficiaries' Representative").
WHEREAS, there is a general awareness that competent and experienced persons are becoming more reluctant to serve as directors or executive officers of publicly-held corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive policies of insurance or indemnification, due to the increasing number of lawsuits against such corporations and their directors and officers, the attendant expense of defending against such lawsuits, and the exposure of such directors and officers to unreasonably high damages;
WHEREAS, present laws and interpretations are frequently too uncertain to provide such officers and directors with adequate, reliable knowledge of the legal risks to which they may be exposed as a result of serving the corporation;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has concluded that its directors and executive officers should be provided with protection against such risks in order to insure that the most capable persons will be attracted to such positions; and, therefore, has determined to contractually obligate itself to indemnify in a reasonable manner its directors and executive
{PAGE}
officers and to assume for itself the liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims lodged against its directors and executive officers as a result of their service to the Company.
WHEREAS, applicable law empowers corporations to indemnify persons serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or a person who serves at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, and further empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance (on behalf of such persons) against liability which may be asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by Indemnitee in any such capacity, or arising out of Indemnitee's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against such liability under the provisions of said laws;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has concluded that, due to the high cost and other negative features of the coverage under presently available directors and officers liability insurance, at this time it would not be in the best interest of its shareholders for the Company to purchase and maintain such insurance in the amounts customarily held by similar corporations and that its shareholders' interest would be better served by contracting to indemnify its executive officers and directors thereby reasonably self-insuring against such potential liabilities;
-2-
{PAGE}
WHEREAS, the Company desires to have Indemnitee serve or continue to serve as a director or executive officer of the Company free from undue concern for damages by reason of Indemnitee being a director and/or executive officer of the Company or by reason of his or her decision or actions on its behalf, and Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, only if he or she is furnished the indemnity provided for hereinafter in one or more of such capacities; and
WHEREAS, the parties believe it appropriate to memorialize and reaffirm the Company's indemnification obligations to Indemnitee and, in addition, to set forth the agreements contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, conditions, representations, and warranties set forth herein, including the Indemnitee's continued service to the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, shall have the following respective meanings:
"Beneficiary" or "Beneficiaries" means an officer or director of the Company who qualifies as a Beneficiary under Section 1.1 of the Trust Agreement.
"Beneficiaries' Representative" means a non-employee director of the Company, or other individual selected in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.4 of the Trust Agreement.
-3-
{PAGE}
"Claim or Claims" includes without limitation any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding whether civil, derivative, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise, and includes any Claims by or in the right of the Company.
"Covered Amount" means Loss and Expenses which, in type or amount, are not insured under any D&O Insurance.
"Covered Act" means any act or omission (including without limitation any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, or otherwise, or appearing as or preparing to be a witness) by Indemnitee, and any Claim against Indemnitee, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or of any subsidiary or division, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise.
"D&O Insurance" means any directors' and officers' liability insurance issued to the Company the proceeds of which are available for, and are tendered to, the Indemnitee.
"Determination" means a determination, based on the facts known at the time, made by:
(i) A majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors; or
-4-
{PAGE}
(ii) Independent legal counsel in a written opinion prepared at the request of a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors; or
(iii) A majority of the disinterested stockholders of the Company; or
(iv) A final order by a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right of appeal.
"Determined" shall have a correlative meaning.
"Excluded Claim" means any payment for Losses or Expenses in connection with any Claim the payment of which is Ultimately Determined to be prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law, public policy, or other applicable law (including binding regulations and orders of, and undertakings or other commitments with, any governmental entity or agency) as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent

(ii) "General Purpose Device" is a computer or computing device that provides, in place of or in addition to, task-specific functionality, general-purpose server functionality that can be easily modified by the end user to add hardware, applications, or enable services that add significant functionalities to, or in place of, the task-specific functionality that was implemented at the time of manufacture by COMPANY.
(iii) "Office Automation and/or Personal Computing Functions" means consumer or business tasks or processes performed by a computer or computing device, including, word processing, spreadsheets, network browsing, and personal finance.
(478) COMPANY may install and distribute the Licensed Product on Embedded Systems that are rented or leased to end users ("Lessee"), providing the conditions listed below are and remain satisfied.

(ii) The Lease shall provide that at the expiration or termination of the Lease the Lessee shall purchase or return the Embedded System (together with all copies of the Licensed Product (installed and on external media), COA, APM, and related materials for the Licensed Product) to COMPANY.
(iii) If COMPANY wishes to re-lease or sell a previously leased Embedded System or transfer ownership of leased Embedded System to a Lessee, COMPANY may re-lease, sell or transfer such Embedded System with copies of the Licensed Product, COA, and related materials originally included with such Embedded System for no additional royalty to MS.
