Plan
|
The
following sets forth the terms and conditions of your commission plan (the
“Plan”) attributable to the period of January 1, 2009 through
December 31, 2009 (the “Term”). This Plan supersedes any prior
written or verbal discussions, agreements or understandings with respect to the
bonuses, commissions and similar items of compensation. This Plan
does not automatically renew at the end of the Term, and is only valid for the
Term. The effective date of this plan is January 1, 2009. This plan
may only be modified with the prior written approval of Cornerstone’s
CEO. All calculations and determinations with respect to this Plan
shall be made by Cornerstone in its sole discretion, and shall be
final.
1)
|
Quota for North American Direct
Sales is each and all of (i) $[***] in “Software Revenue” and
(ii) $[***] in “Service Revenue” as evidenced by Approved Contracts
executed and delivered during the Term (with time being of the
essence).
|

|
“Approved
Contract” means a written agreement with approved pricing between
Cornerstone and a customer with respect to the licensing by such customer
of Cornerstone OnDemand, as procured primarily by the Manager (“Manager”)
or a Salesperson (“Salesperson”) under the supervision of the VP Sales and
duly executed on behalf of Cornerstone by its
CEO.
|
b)
|
“Software
Revenues” means, as the case may be, and without duplication of
clause 1(c) below, for the applicable year of the Approved Contract,
the monthly user fee set forth in the applicable Approved Contract
multiplied by the minimum number of monthly users set forth in such
Approved Contract multiplied by 12 months, or if there is no minimum
monthly user fee, then the minimum annual fee (for the applicable year of
such Approved Contract) attributable to the licensing of Cornerstone
OnDemand Software Modules.
|
c)
|
“Service
Revenue” means, without duplication of clause 1(b) above, revenue to
Cornerstone attributable to the provision of professional services (i.e.,
implementation services, business consulting, technical consulting and
educational services) by Cornerstone to the client in the applicable
Approved Contract, provided that the associated statement of work
providing for such Service Revenue is executed and delivered
contemporaneously with the Approved Contract to which such statement of
work is a part thereof.
|
d)
|
Nothing
in this document obligates Cornerstone to enter into any Approved
Contracts or other agreements with any customer or
otherwise.

are expected to follow the official Cornerstone pricing guidelines, which
are subject to change from time to time at Cornerstone’s sole

and three respectively.
|

b)
|
VP
hereby expressly agrees that any amounts owed by Salesperson to
Cornerstone pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above may be used to offset
future Commissions or other compensation payable to
VP.
|
5)
|
Termination of Employment of
VP.
|
a)
|
Nothing
contained in this document shall in any way limit or interfere with the
“at-will” nature of the employment relationship between Cornerstone and
VP.
|
b)
|
In
the event that VP terminates his/her employment with Cornerstone, or
Cornerstone terminates VP employment for “Cause” (as hereinafter defined),
Cornerstone shall owe no Commissions, Bonus or other compensation to
Salesperson that has not already been paid to VP (other than salary and
vacation pay, in each case accrued through the date of
termination).
|
c)
|
As
used herein, the term “Cause”
means:
|
|
i)
|
the
failure of the VP to substantially perform his duties to the Company
(including, without limitation, meeting his/her Quota or being on
reasonable track to meet such Quota), other than a failure resulting from
the VP physical or mental illness or impairment, which is not cured within
ten (10) days of the delivery to the VP of written notice thereof by
Cornerstone;
|
|
ii)
|
an
act or omission by VP which constitutes gross
misconduct;
|
|
iii)
|
a
material violation of a federal, state or local law or regulation
applicable to the business of Cornerstone;
or
|
|
iv)
|
a
breach by VP of a material term, obligation, covenant, representation or
warranty in any agreement with Cornerstone or other written representation
to Cornerstone, which is not cured within ten (10) days of the delivery to
VP of written notice thereof by
Cornerstone.
|
d)
|
In
the event that Cornerstone terminates VP employment with Cornerstone other
than for “Cause”, Cornerstone shall owe no Commissions, Bonus or other
compensation that has not already been paid to Salesperson, other than
(i) any Commissions in accordance with Section 2a that become
due and payable within sixty (60) days after the date of such termination,
subject to Section 4 above, and (ii) salary and vacation pay, in
each case accrued through the date of termination. In the event
that Cornerstone terminates VP employment with Cornerstone other than for
“Cause” and an Approved Contract that has been determined by Cornerstone
to have been procured primarily by VP is subsequently executed and
delivered within thirty (30) days after such termination (a “Tailed
Approved Contract”), then Cornerstone agrees that, notwithstanding such
termination, VP shall be paid his/her Commission attributable to the first
year of such Tailed Approved Contract, subject to all of the other terms
and conditions of this Plan.
