              Commission
      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).

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              a)

            	
              “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.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              e)

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

      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;

              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.

      (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.
