TIME PERMITTED FOR ACTIVATION. This is to prevent its unlicensed use. YOU ARE NOT
PERMITTED TO BYPASS OR CIRCUMVENT ACTIVATION. If the device is connected to the
Internet, the software may automatically connect to Microsoft for activation. You can also
activate the software manually by Internet or telephone. If you do so, Internet and telephone
service charges may apply. Some changes to your computer components or the software may
require you to reactivate the software. THE SOFTWARE WILL REMIND YOU TO ACTIVATE
IT UNTIL YOU DO.

3.3 If the Virtual Environment includes operating system software that does not require a product
key for use, you are required to verify the state of the operating system after installation of

v. 10.13

EXHIBIT A
EXCEPTIONS AND ADDITIONAL TERMS
FOR THE COMPONENTS INCLUDED IN THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
The license terms set forth in the agreement and the following exceptions and additional terms
shall apply to the following Microsoft components included in the Virtual Environment:
WINDOWS 8.1 ENTERPRISE
Exceptions and Additional Terms
a. Internet-based Features; Privacy. Some software features use Internet protocols, which send
to Microsoft (or its suppliers or service providers) computer information, such as your Internet
protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the
software you are using, and the language code of the computer where you installed the
software. Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based features available to
you, in accordance with the Windows 8.1 Privacy Statement at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
linkid=280262 , and information that may be presented to you in the Windows user interface.
Some Internet-based features may be delivered and updated at a later date --if, for example,
you acquire an application that relies on one of those services, or to help make the software
safer or more reliable.

Windows Update. If you use the Windows Update service in the software, updates or
downloads to the Windows Update service will be required for proper functioning of the
service, from time to time, and will be downloaded and installed without further notice to
you.

Windows Digital Rights Management Technology. Some content owners use Windows
digital rights management technology (DRM) to protect their copyrights and other
intellectual property, including by disabling the softwares ability to play protected
content if Windows DRM fails. You agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with
the licenses.

Windows Media Player. When you use Windows Media Player, it checks with Microsoft for
compatible online music services in your region and new versions of the player. You may
only use Windows Media Player as described at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104605.

Windows Defender. If turned on, Windows Defender will search your computer for many
types of malicious software (malware), including viruses, worms, bots, rootkits,
spyware, adware and other potentially unwanted software. If you choose the
recommended security settings when you first start using the software, such malware and
other potentially unwanted software rated high or severe will automatically be
removed. This removal may result in other software on your computer ceasing to work or
your breaching a license to use that software. It is possible that software that is not
unwanted may be removed or disabled. If you use Windows Defender and Windows
Update, Windows Defender is regularly updated through Windows Update.

Malicious software removal. The software may periodically scan for and remove malware
from your computer, using the malicious software removal tool most recently downloaded
to your computer. After the scan completes and at regular intervals, a report will be sent

to Microsoft with specific information about malware detected, errors, and other
information about your computer. This information is used to help protect your computer
from malicious software, as well as to improve the software and other Microsoft products.
You may disable the softwares reporting functionality by following the instructions found
at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=241725.

SmartScreen Filter. If enabled, the SmartScreen Filter will check the addresses of
webpages and downloads you attempt to view against a frequently updated list of
webpages and downloads that have been reported to Microsoft as unsafe or suspicious.
SmartScreen will also check downloaded programs that you attempt to run against a list
of commonly downloaded or run programs to help you make more informed trust
decisions. More information can be found by visiting the Internet Explorer Privacy
Statement at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=280122. By enabling SmartScreen in either
Windows or Internet Explorer, you consent to this feature, and you agree to use the
SmartScreen Filter only in conjunction with Windows or Internet Explorer. You may not,
either manually or by enabling or authorizing any software or service, copy, display,
distribute, collect or store any data provided by the SmartScreen Filter.

IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal service (Teredo). Each time you start
your licensed computer, Teredo will attempt to locate a public Internet Protocol version 6
(IPv6) service on the Internet. This occurs automatically when your licensed computer is
connected to a public or private network, but does not occur on managed networks such
as enterprise domains. If you use a program that requires Teredo to use IPv6 connectivity,
or if you configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity, then Teredo will
periodically contact the Microsoft Teredo service over the Internet. The only information
sent to Microsoft is standard computer information and the name of the service requested
(for example teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com). The information sent from your computer by
Teredo is used to determine if your computer is connected to the Internet and if it can
locate a public IPv6 service. Once the service is located, information is sent to maintain a
connection with the IPv6 service.

Plug and Play and Plug and Play Extensions; Device Apps. Your computer may not have
the drivers needed to communicate with hardware that you connect to your computer. If
so, the update feature of the software can obtain and install the correct driver on your
computer. An administrator can disable this update feature.

Digital certificates. The software uses digital certificates to confirm the identity of Internet
users sending X.509 standard encrypted information, to digitally sign files and macros,
and to verify the integrity and origin of file contents. The software may retrieve and
update certificates, certificate revocation lists, and the list of trusted certification
authorities, over the Internet.

Network awareness. This feature determines whether a system is connected to a network

by either passive monitoring of network traffic or active DNS or HTTP queries. The query
transfers only standard TCP/IP or DNS information for routing purposes. You can switch off
the active query feature through a registry setting.

Accelerators. When you click on or move your mouse over an Accelerator in Internet
Explorer, any of the following may be sent to the applicable service provider (which may
not be Microsoft): the title and full web address or URL of the current webpage, standard
computer information, and any content you have selected. For more information, see
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=280122 .

Search provider update. The software will download an update to the data on your
computer about search providers. This update upgrades your providers with the latest
features, such as new icons or search suggestions. This is a one-time update, but the
software will try to perform the update several times if it does not successfully download
the update. For more information, see go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=280122.

Cookies. If you choose to use online features in the software, such as online Help and
Support, cookies may be set. To learn how to block, control and delete cookies, please
read the cookies section of the Privacy Statement at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
linkid=74170.

Windows Store. In addition to the terms of this agreement for Internet-based features, you
may only use the Windows Store under the terms available at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
linkid=246694. Those terms also contain information about Windows Notification Service.
Windows apps or any preinstalled apps in your Start may use Windows Notification
Service. You agree that we may send you notifications as described in the Windows 8.1
Privacy Statement and Windows Store terms of service.

b. Windows Apps. Windows apps (such as Mail, Calendar and People) are apps that are
developed by Microsoft, included with Windows, and licensed to you under this agreement.
You can access each Windows app from its corresponding tile in Start. Some of the Windows
apps provide an access point to online services, and the use of those services is sometimes
governed by separate terms and privacy policies. You can view these terms and policies by
looking at the apps settings. Unless other terms are displayed to you or presented in the
apps settings, you agree the services that you access from the Windows apps are governed
by the Microsoft Services Agreement at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=246338, or for
Windows apps that access Xbox services, the xbox.com/legal/livetou. We continuously work to
improve the services and we may change the services at any time. The services may not be
available in certain countries.
c.

Fonts, Icons, Images, and Sounds.

i.

Font components. While the software is running, you may use its fonts to display and print
content. You may temporarily download the fonts to a printer or other output device to
print content, and you may embed fonts in content only as permitted by the embedding
