Engagement: Hosting Incentive

Eligibility timeline
Partners may be eligible to earn incentives for FY24 Hosting Incentive engagement if all engagement eligibility requirements are met as of August 31, 2023. Partners will not earn incentives, fees, or rebate
payments, as applicable, prior to the month in which they meet all engagement eligibility requirements and complete all incentive program enrollment activities. For example, if a partner has met all
engagement eligibility requirements as of August 31, 2023, and does not complete enrollment until January 15, 2024, the partner will not earn any incentives, fees, or rebate payments, as applicable, until
January 2024.
Public Customer Number (PCN) Requirements
Incentive programs under which a partner can earn incentives at a PCN level, require that the location of the partner’s PCN match the location the partner’s Partner Location ID enrolled in the program on or
before August 31, 2023, in order for partner to be eligible to earn incentives under a program.

Changes to Public Customer Numbers (PCNs)


When a partner gains new PCNs, due to a merger, acquisition, or change to their contractual agreement structure they must submit an incentive support ticket in Partner Center to notify Microsoft within 30
days from PCN creation date. If the new PCN is approved by Microsoft to be included in the Hosting Incentive Program and is attached to a new Partner Location ID not yet enrolled in the Hosting Incentive
Program, a program enrollment invitation will be sent out. Partners will start earning on the new PCN in the month that they finish enrollment.

Partners with Multiple Transaction Locations


Partners with multiple geographic locations, will onboard in the location(s) where the transactions (sales) occur and not necessarily the managed location. Each location onboarded must have a Partner
Location ID for that specific location. Support for updating your locations is available at https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/support/contact-support.

Incentive Calculation
Incentives are calculated monthly based on the data snapshot taken on the last day of the month. All eligible transactions for
partners associated with subscriptions as of the snapshot date will be considered for that month’s incentive calculation. This
incentive is calculated on the volume of net new paid seats above the HWM for the associated workload and tenant. Incremental
net new paid seats will be determined by comparing the current seat count to the maximum seat count ever established for the
workload and tenant in question (i.e., the HWM).

Biz Apps Presales Advisor Monthly Calculation

Net paid seat growth above the High-Water Mark


Payment = (HWM) for claimed seats × Rate Card

Proration rule
In instances when there are there are overlapping subscriptions with Net Paid Seats Added (NPSAs) in a month that roll under the same workload and tenant,
Microsoft will calculate contribution above the HWM measured at the tenant level​ by aggregating the NPSAs for all subscriptions, taking both increases and
decreases at subscription level into account. Subscriptions that have a net positive impact into HWM at the tenant level, will be prorated based on the net
HWM increase.

Returns rule
In the event of a return or credit that results in a negative NPSA, the HWM will be adjusted accordingly.

The High-Water Mark (HWM)= Workload & Tenant level

Measuring the HWM at the Tenant & Workload level enables tracking over time, eliminating risk of paying for existing seats upon
renewal, or for recapture growth below the HWM.

HWM in instances of customer renewals or recurring

Incentive Association
Approved claims were seamlessly transitioned from the Online Services Advisor (OSA) FY23 engagement, which ended on September 30, 2023, to the Business Applications Presales Advisor
FY24 engagement, which commenced on October 1, 2023.
For existing approved claims between partners and their respective tenants and offers transitioning from OSA to the FY24 Business Applications Presales Advisor Incentive, partners will continue
to receive compensation for any growth that surpasses the High Water Mark (HWM). This ensures that partners are rewarded for their contributions to growth from their existing approved
claims with no need of re-association.
Partners must associate themselves by making a claim through CPOR (Claiming Partner of Record) in Partner Center with the customers and the applicable subscriptions within 120 days of the
transaction date. If a claim is made more than 120 days after the transaction date, partner will not earn a Sell Incentive on that transaction. The date of the claim submission determines the
applicable Sell rate (not the date of the transaction). In cases where a customer already has a partner associated to a subscription, a new partner may make a claim, and will be eligible to earn
this incentive (where applicable) on net new seats looking back 120 days from the claims date. Partners will no longer earn incentives if they are not associated to the subscription, or the
subscription is no longer active.

Partners must associate to a new subscription in CPOR when an agreement is renewed.

The partner of record (CPOR) starts earning Sell incentives from the date of association, but payment will be contingent on the subscription remaining current
for at least 120 days. Microsoft reserves the right to deduct incentives accumulated or paid on seats that are subsequently returned by the tenant during this 120-day period.

If a customer begins a subscription that results in the Partner earning the Sell Incentive, and within 12 months, the same customer changes to different licensing method for the same users
covered by the initial subscription, Microsoft reserves the right to recover any Sell incentives payment. Partners should not advise customers who have purchased a subscription through one
method to transition to another method before the end of the subscription term.

Partner is the current CPOR on customer’s subscriptions and there can only be one partner of record at the same time for the same tenant and workload.

Association rules
Conflicting claims: In the case of a conflicting claim, Microsoft will look at the proof of
Only 1 partner of record is allowed per subscription at execution for each partner to decide which partner was most influential in driving pre-sales
the same point in time leading to the platform sale or seats sold. If the evidence is not sufficient, Microsoft may reach
out to the account manager involved in the deal or the customer to make the final decision.

Partner IDs will be limited to a maximum of 4 active MCI Business Applications Partner Activities engagements per customer at one time. Active engagements are those where a customer has been claimed until the claim
POE has been approved. If a customer has reached this threshold, one or more of the active claims will need to be canceled, approved, rejected, or expired to allow partner to create additional claims for that customer.
Additional Geographical restrictions: Partner Market B will have a limit of 20 max active or completed engagements per Partner Global ID (Vorg). Partner Market C will have a limit of 10 max active or completed
engagements per Partner Global ID (Vorg).

Subcontracting

Partners may not subcontract any engagement engagement(s) to any third party(ies). Microsoft will not pay incentives to any partners [and/or partner affiliates] for activities completed by third party(ies) (such third
party(ies) including but not limited to subcontractors or vendors). All claimed engagement(s) must be executed directly by the claiming eligible partner in order to qualify for approval and payment.
Microsoft will conduct regular audits to monitor the number of active engagements per Partner ID. Microsoft may, in its sole discretion, terminate partners for falsely creating engagements to claim earnings, or for
engaging in activities that do not align with the program intent.

Repeat Engagements

Customers may not receive the same Variable payout or TSI Variable payout engagement more than 1x per valid MSX Opportunity ID.
Customers may not receive the same Fixed Fee engagement more than 1x per valid TPID or Tenant ID.

Bona fide Customer Validation

Bona fide Customer Validation - Eligible customers must have a customer email address that is distinct from the partner's domain or tenant and is aligned to the Customer domain or tenant.

Business Applications Engagements Program Controls


Maximum active engagements per customer

Partner VOrg will be limited to a maximum of 4 active MCI Business Applications Partner Activities engagements per customer at one time. Active engagements are those where a customer has been claimed until the
claim POE has been approved. If a customer has reached this threshold, one or more of the active claims will need to be cancelled, rejected, or expired to allow partner to create additional claims for that customer.
Additional Geographical restrictions: The activity of a partner Global Account (VOrg) in any given country is subject to a maximum limitation of total active or completed claims for any given Business Applications Build
Intent engagement. This total is aggregated across all claims made for a given engagement by any of the partner’s locations (MPN IDs) within that country. This maximum limit is determined by the country’s market

Microsoft will conduct regular audits to monitor the number of active engagements per Partner ID. Microsoft may, in its sole discretion, terminate partners for falsely creating engagements to claim earnings, or for engaging
in activities that do not align with the program intent.

Notice of changes
Microsoft reserves the right to modify, update, cancel or terminate program terms and Engagement Terms at any time, in its sole discretion. We will endeavor
to provide partners with 30 days’ advance notice of any changes before they may become effective. If a partner does not agree to any such changes, the
partners must discontinue or terminate participation in the program or applicable engagement. Continued participation in the engagement will be deemed
acceptance of the changes.
Each partner will ensure that its relevant Representatives become familiar with the Partner Center and consult it on a regular basis to receive communications
and business notices from Microsoft. Partners are solely responsible for managing which of its Representatives are authorized to access and act within the
Partner Center on the partners’ behalf.
Microsoft may communicate program or engagement changes and updates via the email address on record for the Partner Center Global Administrator,
Account Administrator, and Incentive Administrator.

Order of precedence
In the event of a conflict between this incentive guide, the Engagement Terms, and the terms of the partner’s Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Agreement,
that is not expressly resolved therein, the terms will control in the following order: (1) the terms of that partner’s Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program
Agreement, (2) terms of this incentive guide, and (3) the Engagement Terms. Terms of an amendment control over the amended document and any prior
amendments concerning the same subject matter.

Engagement Terms
The Engagement Terms will describe or identify the eligibility, criteria, term length, and other terms and conditions applicable to the applicable engagement.
The engagement and related documents may be published on the Partner Center or delivered directly to the partner.
For each engagement, partners must: (i) meet all qualifying engagement eligibility criteria; (ii) perform, and comply with the applicable Engagement Terms, and
(iii) comply with any separate agreements, Guides, or other documentation that may be a requirement for that engagement. Partner participation in available
engagements is voluntary.

Change of Channel Partner


Microsoft approved changes to Partner structures will be assigned an “effective date,” which indicates the date the partner begins earning (or in cases of
removals, ceases to earn), within the incentive.
Effective date timelines are driven by the date of communication by the partner to Microsoft, the circumstance creating the structure change, and Microsoft’s
ability to fully validate (which includes any required reviews and/or approvals) the proposed change before implementation.
If a Change of Channel Partner arises during the term of the Agreement, the future earnings and responsibility for the monthly customer maintenance and
support activities will transition to the new Partner if the Partner has met the eligibility and enrollment requirements set forth above. The Partner of Record at
the time of the transaction will be eligible for the related incentive.
After a Change of Channel Partner, the new Partner of Record is responsible for completing all future monthly activities to service the customer, as described
in this guide.
The new Partner of Record will be responsible for credits or adjustments after they become the Partner of Record.

Indirect Channel Requirements


When provisioning a two-tier subscription in Partner Center, CSP Indirect Providers must provide a valid Partner Location ID of the applicable CSP Indirect
Reseller to whom they have sold Microsoft online services.
When provisioning a two-tier subscription using the Microsoft API, CSP Indirect Providers must include the Partner Location ID of the applicable downstream

In no case can the Indirect Reseller be controlled by, be a part of, or otherwise be an affiliate of the CSP Indirect Provider. If the CSP Indirect Provider does not
include an accurate CSP Indirect Reseller Partner Location ID identifying such CSP Indirect Reseller as the CSP Partner of Record, Microsoft will not calculate or

Partners may earn a portion of this incentive as cooperative marketing funds (co-op). These funds allow partners
Co-op to perform specific marketing, demand generation, and readiness activities in accordance with the Partner
Incentives Co-op Guidebook.

Cooperative marketing fund earning period


The cooperative marketing fund earning period is the six-month timeframe during which partners can earn rebates and co-op. Microsoft calculates a percentage of incentive earnings to be
paid as co-op funds which are placed into a fund to use for approved activities executed in the upcoming usage period.

Cooperative marketing fund usage period


The co-op fund usage period refers to the six-months that immediately follows the six-month earning period, when partners perform eligible activities and submit claims.
If a partner’s co-op earnings are below the $10,000 USD threshold in an earning period, the accrued incentive earnings will be converted to rebate at the end of the earning period.

Cooperative marketing claiming period


There is a forty-five (45)-day grace period after the end of the usage period for partners to complete their claim submissions. Co-op claims requiring further partner action at the end of the
grace period will be moved to a non-compliant status and a payment will not be processed.
Unsuccessful co-op claims and co-op funds not claimed by the conclusion of the grace period will be forfeited with no possibility of reinstatement.

Payment Terms – Foreign Exchange Rate

Foreign Exchange Conversion Rate

Microsoft’s monthly foreign exchange rate is the mid-rate published by Thomson Reuters (typically) two days prior to the preceding month-end at 4:00 pm GMT. For example,
Microsoft’s January exchange rate would be the Thomson Reuters mid-rate published on or around December 31st of the prior year.
Incentives which are calculated based on invoiced revenue and paid via rebate or fee utilizing the foreign exchange rate of the applicable month that the partner or end customer
is invoiced. For example, if an incentive is calculated based on revenue that is invoiced in February, it will be calculated using the exchange rate for February invoices, which is the
reported rate at the end of January (per above definition).
Incentives which are calculated based on a qualifying activity or consumption, and not invoiced revenue, utilize the exchange rate of the month in which the qualifying activity or
consumption occurs. For example, if an incentive is calculated based on activity or consumption that occurs in January, it will be calculated using the exchange rate reported in
December and the incentive will also be calculated using that same exchange rate.
For incentives earned as co-op, partners must select a Partner Center account currency for each usage period for incentives deposited into a co-op fund. Once a Partner Center
account currency is selected, the co-op funds for the applicable six-month incentive earning period are restated to reflect the chosen currency utilizing the foreign exchange rate
of each applicable month the partner or end customer is invoiced, as set forth above.
Partners receive their incentives earning payments in the currency the partner selected in their Partner Center bank profile, even if different than the partner’s transaction currency
or currency selected at the time of original incentive earning calculation. Each incentive earning payment is calculated using the exchange rate for the currency in which that
incentive is paid that is applicable to that currency during the earning period for that incentive, as set forth above.

Payment Returns
If a partner refuses or returns incentive payments, these earnings will be held by Microsoft for 180 days starting from the original date of payment or

unearned and forfeited. For avoidance of doubt, all disputes must be filed within 90 days of payment or attempted payment.
