  20. Scenario 1:Customer signs to one year contract • In this example the Customer signs a one year contract and you are paid up front for the entire year- a total of $120 • You are responsible only for one $12 payment to SFDC for the quarter the contract was signed $120 paid up front * 10% referral= $12 Customer Signs Contract for 1 year and pays you $120 Pay $12 to SFDC (Net 45) End of Quarter Feb 1 March 31 May 15

They then extend your service for another quarter and finally renew for an entire year. • The opportunity is alive for one year after signing the initial contract. This means that any renewal contracts are paid in the quarter they are renewed. • The payment is always attributed to the quarter the contract is signed. • In this example, the contract is renewed for one year but the opportunity is only alive for 6 more months. You would pay SFDC only half of the contract value for the six months remaining in the live opportunity. Customer Signs new contract for Q2 and pays you $30 Customer Signs new contract for One year starting Q3 and pays you $120 Customer Signs contract for Q1 and pays you $30 Pay $3 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q1 ACV Pay $3 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q2 ACV Pay $6 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q3 ACV Q1 Q1 + 45 Q2 Q2 + 45 Q3 Q3 + 45
