·                  Accelerator rates may apply as follows based on Team Quota Attainment (New and Renewal Orders):

·                  Up to 100% = Base Commission Rate

·                  Over 100% = 1.5% Accelerator Rate

·                  Commissions will be charged back to the team at the rate originally paid if the customer does not fulfill 12 months of subscription obligation or ceases to pay

·                  (For example, if a customer has a ramp or subsequent order for 8 months and they do not renew, then 4 months will be clawed back as they did not fulfill 12 months)

·                  Charge backs will apply to unpaid subscription fees only

·                  Base Services Rate is calculated as Quarter Services Commission divided by Quarter Team Services Quota

·                  A cap will be placed on the amount of quota credit at 300% for the quarter until 90% of this has been delivered. Once 90% has been delivered, the remainder, up to 300% will be paid each quarter at the original quarter Base Services Rate, and so forth until the entire amount of the order is retired. The amount of carry over released is not added to the future quarter’s credit attainment, but rather paid in addition to the normal commission.

·                 Accelerator rates apply for attainment between 100% of services quota and 300% of quota at 1.5 times the Base Services Rate. Anything above 300% is paid at the Base Services Rate
