16 Organization-wide commitment concept exists in OV and OVS There are 3 Volume Licensing programs targeted for SMBs Organization-wide commitment means a customer commits to purchase at least a enterprise product to 100% of the organization to obtain a price advantage Office 365 Add-on SKU gives discounted OLS price to help customer avoid paying twice for functionality they have already committed for on-premises. 1 OVS Open programs commitment concepts 16 OV Open Windows (licensed per device) Client Access License Suites (licensed per device or user) Office Pro Plus (licensed per device) Microsoft Office 365 user productivity (licensed per user) 1 Commitments made can’t be terminated mid-term, therefore price discount is provided on OLS.

18 Office 365 Add-on detail 18 1 Open Value can be sold via managed LSP directly (only in US and Canada). However, Office 365 SKU is not sold in this 1 st tier channel. As a workaround, US LSP can order Office 365 SKU via Open License, referencing the offer code of “O365” together with the qualifying Open Value contract number. Office 365 purchased via OV and OVS What Office 365 service will be applicable? Commercial: Office 365 Midsize business, E1 and E3. Government: Office 365 E1, E1+Archiving, and E3. Education: Office 365 A3 Eligible OV and OVS typesCommercial, government, and education customers. What are the supported migration scenarios? See the next page for detail How discounting is establishedFrom Microsoft to distributor. 1 Microsoft does not set pricing for distributors to resellers or resellers to customers. Operationalizing the offerDistributor places Office 365 order via active OV/S to Microsoft with offer code of “O365”. After a qualification check, Microsoft will issue an invoice with the adjusted price. See detailed page.

28 Questions and answers 28 Why is Office 365 not an Enterprise SKU in OV/OVS? Due to systematic limitations, we are not able to offer Office 365 as an Enterprise SKU. How do I increase Office 365 subscription users? 3 Options: (1) Customer buys new product key from Open programs & redeems online, (2) Advisor sends customer order via MOCP, customer pays directly, and (3) Customer purchases seats directly on MOCP. How do I decrease Office 365 subscription users? Reducing the number of seats during the renewal process directly from Office 365 Administrative Portal. What are the options to renew Office 365? 3 Options: (1) Customer buys new product key from Open programs & redeems online, (2) Advisor sends customer order via MOCP, customer pays directly, and (3) Customer purchases seats directly on MOCP. Does the customer have to purchase the same number online as they have on premise? No they don’t. Customer can purchase Office 365 any quantity (seat count) as they like. Will Partners be notified of the upcoming expiration? Partner of Record will receive Office 365 renewal reminder 60, 30, 7 and 1 day prior to expiration, from Office 365 portal. Distributors are notified via weekly report either from Regional Operations Center personnel or posting in partner web folders on a share. Distributors can refer to the Office 365 detail report via local Operations Center (Process vary). Open/OV Agreement expiration notice is independent since it is not coterminous with Office 365 Subscriptions. Can the customer stop paying for on-premises side License/Software Assurance when they move to Office 365? No. OV/OVS Customer must fulfill the commitment for the reminder of their agreement term, at organization-wide level. Decrease of quantity is also not possible. To compensate for that, Office 365 Add-on provides heavily discounted price for Office 365.
