# Thrive SPIF Addendum

This Q12026 SPIF Promotion Addendum (“Addendum”) is between Thrive Operations, LLC (“Thrive”) and each Agent (as defined below) in accordance with, and expressly incorporated by reference into, such Agent’s Technology Services Distributor Agreement or Direct Sales Channel Agreement, as applicable, with Thrive. This Q3 2026 Promotion is limited and only available between July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026. By participating in this Q3 2026 SPIF Promotion, Agent acknowledges and agrees to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

 

### Definitions

“Agent” means a partner or sub-agent in good standing under an approved and active Technology Services Distributor Agreement or direct Sales Channel Agent Agreement with Thrive.

“Eligible Contract” means a direct agent-sourced opportunity whereby Thrive contracts with the end customer directly for an initial service term of 36 months or longer (excluding any free or credited months). For the avoidance of doubt, any contracts entered into by a partner, reseller directly with the customer, including contracts whereby a customer purchases Thrive services at wholesale rates, are explicitly excluded and not considered Eligible Contracts.

“MRR” means Monthly recuring revenue excluding applicable taxes and explicitly excluding any revenue arising from any licensing, Microsoft 365 services or products, one-time services, products, or any re-sale based engagements. MRR on eligible revenue shall be calculated using the list price less any recurring discounts or other discounts as listed in the Eligible Contract.

“New Logo Business” means a customer who is not currently or recently (within the last 12 months) receiving services under a contract with Thrive. For the avoidance of doubt, renewals, replacements, upgrades, and/or upsells do not qualify as New Logo Business.

“SPIF” means a single, one-time sales program incentive fund payment.

“Term” means between July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026.

 

### Terms and Conditions

As a monetary incentive for Agent to promote Thrive's products and services to Agent's customers, Thrive agrees for a limited time to pay a SPIF) on New Logo Business on an Eligible Contract signed between July 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 ("Term"), subject to Agent satisfying each of the requirements herein. An Agent must be in good standing under an approved, executed, and active Technology Services Distributor Agreement or Direct Sales Channel Agent Agreement with Thrive to be eligible for any SPIF. Any Agent sales before or after the Term shall be deemed ineligible for the SPIF defined herein.

Thrive will pay a single SPIF payment to one Agent, if applicable, for each New Logo Business that signs an Eligible Contract under this promotion during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, renewals, replacements, upgrades, and other similar contracts do not meet the definition of Eligible Contract and are not eligible for a SPIF. The Q3 2026 SPIF Promotion is for a 1x MRR SPIF payment.

Thrive will calculate the single SPIF payment for a New Logo Business that signs an Eligible Contract during the Term by calculating the MRR and excluding the items listed in Exhibit A. For example, and point of clarification, if Agent sells $1,000 in qualifying MRR (based on a 1x SPIF), Agent will be entitled to a one-time $1,000 SPIF and Thrive will not owe any additional compensation or commission to Agent for such Referral other than any standard commission(s) subject to an active Agent Agreement. Thrive will issue a SPIF associated with all services other than those found in Exhibit A. Thrive’s decision with respect to the amount of any SPIF payment an Agent is entitled to is final.

The Eligible Contract(s), and all Services thereunder, must be fully provisioned, billable, and paid (by the Customer) prior to becoming eligible for payment. SPIFs will only be issued once the entirety of MRR listed in a referred Customer's Eligible Contract is provisioned (i.e. the Service Provisioning Completion Date, as defined in the Eligible Contract), billed, and paid in full by Customer (i.e. no outstanding invoices). Thereafter, the SPIF will be paid out the month following the first full invoice being submitted to and paid by the Customer. SPIFs will not be issued: (i) until all MRR is fully provisioned and the Customer (Referral) is being fully invoiced, and/or (ii) if the Customer account is 30 days (or more) past due. Agent agrees that Customer payment issues or delays beyond the invoice due date(s) will subject the SPIF to either withholding or a claw back if not immediately cured by the Customer. Thrive, in its sole discretion, will determine if the payment criteria have been satisfied, and reserves the right to withhold or claw back any SPIF payment(s) related to Customer payment issues.

Thrive reserves the right to withhold or claw back SPIFs due to customer payment issues. Referral Payments (i.e. new customer payments) must be made by the new customer(s) on time. Customer payment issues or delays beyond the due date(s) will subject the SPIF to either withholding or a claw back if not immediately cured by the customer. Thrive further reserves the right to claw back paid SPIFs. For the 18 months after Service Provisioning Completion Date (on an Eligible Contract), SPIFs will be subject to claw back if the Customer account is 30 days (or more) past due.

Thrive reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, adjust or amend the amount of a SPIF payment and SPIF payment structure under this Addendum for any Eligible Contract at any time. Thrive will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agent of any such modifications, adjustments, or amendments of this Addendum for such Eligible Contract(s).

Thrive shall provide a monthly report detailing the SPIF payment being made, and the Customer it is associated with included in the regular commission reporting. This SPIF cannot be combined with any other Thrive promotion. If another Thrive promotion is being utilized by the Agent, then Agent will be considered ineligible for this promotion and incentive.

This Addendum shall be subject to the terms and conditions of an active Technology Services Distributor Agreement (individually or collectively, "Agent Agreement") with Thrive. In instances where Agents are claiming to be under a Master Agent Agreement, the sub-Agent shall sufficiently demonstrate to Thrive, to Thrive's satisfaction, it falls under such agreement. If no such Agent Agreement exists either directly between the Parties or between Thrive and a Technology Services Distributor, then Thrive may deem an Agent ineligible for the purposes of this SPIF/promotion.

### Additional Terms and Conditions:

- The Parties acknowledge and understand that this Addendum creates an independent contractor arrangement only. This Agreement does not create and is not to be construed as creating any employee - employer, agent - principal, partnership or joint venture, or any other relationship between the Parties other than independent contractor arrangement.
- Thrive may refuse to accept any potential Customer or order at its sole discretion, or delay acceptance pending fulfillment of conditions Thrive may choose to impose. All prices for Services provided by Thrive will be determined by Thrive.
- The terms herein are confidential.
- This Addendum merges all previous and contemporaneous discussions and negotiations between the Parties and supersedes and replaces any other SPIF agreement, addendum, or promotion that may be in effect as of the date hereof between the Parties or their respective subsidiaries or other affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof.
- These terms and conditions shall prevail with regard to the SPIF/commission if there are any conflicts between these terms and any Thrive marketing.
- Thrive reserves the right to update and change these terms and conditions at any time.
