EXHIBIT A
COMMISSION SCHEDULE
The Referral Partner’s fee for recruiting a full paying onsite highschool student for 24/7 Learning Academy is $1,000. The first 25% of the Referral Partner’s fee will be paid four weeks after the Referral Partner’s full paying student has registered in School and has paid full tuition for the semester in which he or she is enrolled. The next 25% will be paid eight weeks after the beginning of the semester in question. If the student withdraws from the school within the first eight weeks of school, the remainder of the Referral Partner’s fee would be forfeited. The third 25% payment to the Referral Partner would be paid four weeks after the student registers and pays for the second semester, and the final 25% would be paid to the Referral Partner eight weeks into the second semester, provided the student is still registered in the school at that time. The second semester must be sequential to the first, although a summer break would not break the sequence if the student started school at the beginning of the second semester.
