 (e)  Effective as of the Exercise Date, upon receipt of the Option
Price, each of MS&Co. and Loudcloud, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, releases and discharges the other party and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues,

Agreement from the beginning of the world to the Exercise Date.

 ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 
  
 Section 4.01.    Action With Respect To The Notes.    MS&Co. prior to the Exercise Date shall not directly or indirectly
(i) solicit, initiate or encourage (or authorize any person to solicit, initiate or encourage) any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person to acquire the Notes or any portion thereof; (ii) participate in any discussion or negotiations regarding,
or furnish to any other person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other person to acquire the Notes or any portion thereof; or (iii) sell,
assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer encumbrance or other disposition of the Notes.

  
 Section 4.02.    Registration Rights. 
  
 (a)  Loudcloud will use its reasonable efforts to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC within
forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement (the “Filing Deadline Date”), an S-3 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale from time to time by MS&Co. of the Common Stock. The Company
shall use all reasonable efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from MS&Co., to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective (the “Effective Date”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”) as promptly as is practicable. 
  
 (b)  If the Registration Statement is not filed by Loudcloud
with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline Date (a “Filing Delay”), then for each day a Filing Delay occurs (a “Delay Day”), until but excluding the date the Registration Statement is filed, Loudcloud shall, for each Delay
Day, pay MS&Co., as 
 

 liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.1269841% of the Option Price per day (the “Liquidated Amount). All Liquidated
Amounts incurred for seven consecutive Delay Days, or any portion thereof should a Registration Statement be filed at some point during such seven consecutive days, shall be aggregated and paid to MS&Co. within 3 business days of the seventh
Delay Day. The parties agree that such liquidated damages shall be the sole damages payable for a Filing Delay. The parties hereto further agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 4.02(b) constitute a reasonable estimate of the
damages that may be incurred by MS&Co. by reason of the failure of the Registration Statement to be filed in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
  
 (c)  Loudcloud will prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post–effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective (the “Effective Period”) until the earlier of (i) the ten-month anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) the first date on which the Common Stock can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, provided, however, that
any Deferral Period (as defined hereinafter) shall toll the Effective Period and extend the Effective Period for the time of such Deferral Period. 
  
 (d)  As promptly as practicable Loudcloud will give notice to MS&Co. (i) when the Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed with
the SEC and when the same has been declared effective. 
  
 (e)  Loudcloud will use reasonable efforts to
obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and provide prompt notice to MS&Co. of the withdrawal of any such order. 
  
 (f)  MS&Co. agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Common Stock or its right to purchase the Common Stock that would constitute a sale within
the meaning of the Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to and as described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify Loudcloud of any changes in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement regarding MS&Co. or its plan of distribution. 
  
 (g)  Loudcloud shall, upon (A)
the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to the Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of
any event or the existence of any fact (a “Material Event”) as a result of which the Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, or the related prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 
 

 to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or (C) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development that, in the sole discretion of Loudcloud, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement and the related
prospectus, (i) subject to the next sentence, as promptly as practicable prepare and file, if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post–effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and prospectus so that such Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to MS&Co., and, in the case of a post–effective amendment
to the Registration Statement, subject to the next sentence, use its reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is practicable, and (ii) give notice to MS&Co. that the availability of the Registration Statement is
suspended (a “Deferral Notice”) and, upon receipt of any Deferral Notice, MS&Co. agrees not to sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement until MS&Co’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus provided for in clause (i) above, or until it is advised in writing by Loudcloud that the Registration Statement and related prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement and related prospectus. Loudcloud will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Registration Statement and related prospectus may be resumed (x) in the
case of clause (A) and (B) above, as promptly as is practicable, and (y) in the case of clause (C) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of Loudcloud, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the
interests of Loudcloud or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter. Loudcloud shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 4.02 to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement
or any prospectus no more than three (3) times in any twelve-month period, and any such period during which the availability of the Registration Statement and any prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed an
aggregate of ninety (90) days. Loudcloud shall use reasonable efforts to limit the duration and number of any Deferral Periods. MS&Co. hereby agrees that upon receipt of any Deferral Notice from Loudcloud, MS&Co. shall, and shall cause each
of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and representatives who has become informed of the information contained in the 
 

 Deferral Notice to keep confidential all nonpublic information set forth in such notice including the existence and terms of such Deferral
Notice. 
  
 (h)  With respect to indemnification and contribution obligations under this Section 4.02:

  
 (i)  Loudcloud will indemnify and hold harmless MS&Co., its directors and its
officers and each person, if any, who controls MS&Co. within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) in so far as such losses, claims, damages and liabilities arise out of or are based upon on an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by any amendment or prospectus supplement, including post-effective
amendments, and all material incorporated by reference in such prospectus (the “Prospectus”) or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to MS&Co. furnished to Loudcloud in writing by MS&Co. expressly for use therein. 
  
 (ii)  MS&Co. agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Loudcloud, its directors and its officers and each person, if any, who controls Loudcloud
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to MS&Co.

 

 furnished in writing by MS&Co. to Loudcloud expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

  
 (iii)  In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to (i) and (ii) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
“indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying
party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (x) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (y) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party having been advised by counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder
by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
  
 (iv)  To the extent that the indemnification provided for under paragraphs (i) and (ii) above is unavailable to an indemnified party or is
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the
other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, 
 

 damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of MS&Co. on the
one hand and Loudcloud on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by MS&Co. or by Loudcloud and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 (v)  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (iv) above were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method or allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (iv) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in paragraph (iv) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

 
 (vi)  The remedies provided for in this Section 4.02(i) are not exclusive and shall not limit any
rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or equity. 
  
 (vii)  The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 4.02(h) shall survive the execution of this Agreement and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (x) any investigation
made by or on behalf of MS&Co. or Loudcloud, or Loudcloud’s officers or directors or any person controlling Loudcloud and (y) the sale of any shares of Common Stock by MS&Co. 
  
 (i)  Loudcloud will bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under paragraphs (a) through (g) of this Section
whether or not the Registration Statement is declared effective, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to MS&Co. incurred by MS&Co. 
  
 Section 4.03.    Confidentiality.    MS&Co. and Loudcloud each agree to keep the terms of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby in strict confidence and to use all reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of and prevent the disclosure of the terms hereof other than to one of their respective employees, agents or professional advisors
or an affiliate thereof under a duty of 
 

 confidentiality not less than that required of the parties herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligation to
maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement shall not apply to the extent that either MS&Co. or Loudcloud is required to disclose the terms of this Agreement pursuant to law or legally enforceable order of a court or judicial body; provided
that the receiving party provides notice to the disclosing party as soon as possible to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or an injunction.

its licensors, including any modifications, enhancements and Derivative Works made by or for Loudcloud thereto, and all maintenance releases, error corrections, updates, upgrades, and other releases made available to Licensee under the Annual
Maintenance Agreement. 
  
 3.2    Ownership of Licensee Derivative
Works.    Subject to Loudcloud’s continued ownership of the underlying Technology, as set forth in Section 3.1 (Ownership of Technology) above, the Parties agree that all rights, title, and interest in any modifications
and Derivative Works to the Technology made by or for Licensee, as authorized hereunder in Section 2.2(e), will be owned by Licensee. Licensee’s title shall extend to the modifications or Derivative Works only, and shall not extend to the
original Technology as supplied by Loudcloud. 
  
 3.3    License Of Licensee Derivative Works
To Loudcloud.    Licensee will deliver to Loudcloud a copy of all such Derivative Works made by Licensee, and Loudcloud shall have the option to obtain from Licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide
license to use, reproduce and modify such Derivative Works, and to distribute copies thereof to any person or entity other than ****. The terms and conditions of such license, including but not limited to a royalty payable by Loudcloud and the
obligations of each party, shall be as agreed upon by the parties following good faith negotiations. 
  
 3.4    Independent Development; Nonassertion.    Loudcloud may independently develop and own the non-patent Intellectual Property Rights to Derivative Works that are functionally
equivalent to those made by Licensee, provided that it does so without copying the Licensee-owned Derivative Works, and Licensee will not assert any of its non-patent Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensee-owned Derivative Works against
Loudcloud with respect to such independently developed work. For this purpose, the Parties understand that Licensee may provide Loudcloud with access to the Licensee-owned Derivative Works, so that Loudcloud may assist Licensee in its development
activities. The Parties agree that Loudcloud’s development of functionally equivalent Loudcloud-owned Derivative Works shall be considered “independent” and not copied despite such access.

Commitment within thirty (30) days following such calendar month. All other fees hereunder are payable net 30 from Loudcloud’s monthly invoice unless otherwise set forth. Any amount not paid when due will bear interest until paid at a rate of
interest equal to the prime rate established from time to time by Citibank of New York, provided that Licensee shall be given notice of nonpayment and five (5) business days thereafter to pay before any interest begins to accrue. Disputed amounts
will not bear interest until such time as the dispute is resolved. Licensee agrees to pay all sales, use, value-added, withholding, excise and any other similar taxes or government charges, exclusive of Loudcloud’s income taxes. Loudcloud may
terminate this Agreement if Licensee has not paid any fees due within fifteen days after written notice of such non-payment.

Agreement. Loudcloud will have the right, through independent auditors, to inspect Licensee’s facilities, equipment and records, including access to the Technology, no more than twice annually to verify compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, including the amounts payable to Loudcloud hereunder. Any such audit will be conducted during regular business hours at Licensee’s offices and will not interfere unreasonably with Licensee’s business activities. All
information disclosed to the auditors shall be treated as Licensee Confidential Information. If an audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid the total fees or charges to Loudcloud by more than five percent (5%) for the period covered by the audit,
then Licensee will pay Loudcloud’s reasonable costs of conducting the audit, in addition to the underpaid amount and Loudcloud shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, be entitled to an additional audit within the same

	INDEMNIFICATION BY LOUDCLOUD 
 

  
 12.1    Loudcloud Obligation.    Loudcloud shall at its own expense defend Licensee from and against any third party claims brought against Licensee, and
shall pay or reimburse Licensee for any and all damages, costs and expenses payable by Licensee to such third party to the extent they are awarded in a final judgment or agreed to in a settlement, as a result of any third party claims against
Licensee alleging that any of the Technology infringes any patent in any country, any copyright in a country that adheres to the Berne Convention, or any trade secret. If a claim of infringement under this Section occurs, or if Loudcloud determines
that a claim is likely to occur, Loudcloud will attempt, in addition to defending the claim, in the following order of precedence, to: (a) procure for Licensee the right or license to continue to use the Technology free of the infringement
claim; or (b) replace or modify the Technology to make it non-infringing provided that the replacement Technology substantially conforms to Loudcloud’s then-current specification for the Technology. Any costs associated with implementing
either of the above alternatives will be borne by Loudcloud. If these remedies are not reasonably available to Loudcloud despite Loudcloud’s commercially reasonable efforts, Loudcloud may terminate this License Agreement without liability to
Licensee. 
  
 12.2    Exceptions.    Loudcloud’s obligations
under section 12.1 do not apply to (1) modifications or Derivative Works made by Licensee to the Technology, (2) use of a superseded infringing version of the Licensed Technology by Licensee after release of a non-infringing version by Loudcloud, or
(3) any use or combination of the Technology with any technology, software or hardware not supplied or specified by Loudcloud, if such alleged infringement would be avoided by use of the Technology alone or with other technology, software or
hardware. 
  
 12.3    Exclusive Remedy.    Sections 12.1 and 12.2
state the sole and exclusive obligations and limitations of liability of Loudcloud for any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property rights infringement related to the Technology and are in lieu of any warranties of
non-infringement, all of which are disclaimed. It is understood and agreed that Loudcloud shall have no liability to Licensee for damages sustained by Licensee arising out of any such infringement other than those for which Loudcloud is obligated
under Section 12.1 and 12.2.

 15.4    Third Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement is solely for
the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and, except as expressly provided herein or in any schedule hereto, does not confer any rights or remedies on any other person or entity. 
  
 15.5    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be interpreted according to the laws of
California without regard to or application of choice-of-law rules or principles. 
  
 15.6    Injunctive Relief.    The parties agree that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for the breach of certain provisions of the Agreements, including, without
limitation, all provisions of any agreement concerning infringement, confidentiality and nondisclosure, employee solicitation, or limitation on permitted use of the Technology. The parties further agree that, in the event of such breach, injunctive
relief would be necessary to prevent irreparable injury. Accordingly, either party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief or similar equitable remedies to enforce such party’s rights under the pertinent provisions of the Agreements,
without limiting its right to pursue any other legal remedies available to it. 
  
 15.7    Entire Agreement and Waiver.    This Agreement and any Schedules hereto, as well as the Escrow Agreement and the Annual Maintenance Agreement referred to herein, shall constitute
the entire agreement between Loudcloud and Licensee with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, representations, and statement with respect to such subject matter are superseded hereby. The terms of this Agreement shall
control in the event of any inconsistency with the terms of any Schedule hereto. This Agreement may be changed only by written agreement signed by both Loudcloud and Licensee. No failure of either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under
this Agreement shall act as a waiver of subsequent breaches; and the waiver of any breach shall not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches. 
  
 15.8    Severability.    In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable,
that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that in the event such provision is an essential part
of this Agreement, they will begin good faith negotiations for a suitable enforceable replacement provision. 
  
 15.9    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall
constitute one and the same Agreement. 
  
 15.10    Remedies.    Except as provided herein, the rights and remedies of each party set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies
available to it at law or in equity. 
  
 15.11    Binding
Effect.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 15.12    Assignment. 
  
 (a)  Neither party may, without the prior written consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, either voluntarily or by operation of law, and any attempt

 
 

 10 

 
to do so shall be a material default of this Agreement and shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing a party may assign its rights and benefits and delegate its duties and obligations under
this Agreement without the consent of the other party (i) if necessary to satisfy the rules, regulations and/or orders of any federal, state or local governmental agency or body; (ii) in connection with a change in share ownership of the assigning
party from public to private ownership whether accomplished by Loudcloud’s repurchase of its outstanding shares, through purchases of its outstanding shares by an outside private investor or otherwise; in each such case provided that such
successor assumes the assigning party’s obligations under this Agreement; or (iii) subject to subparagaph (b), below, in connection with a merger, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all relevant assets of the assigning party,
provided Loudcloud provides written notice of such merger, reorganization, or sale as soon as is practicable but no less than forty-five (45) days prior the close of such merger, reorganization, or sale (unless such pre-transaction disclosure cannot
be made under applicable securities laws, in which case, such disclosure shall be made as soon as legally permissible). 
  
 (b)  If, during the two-year period commencing on the Effective Date, Loudcloud assigns its rights or benefits or delegates its duties or obligations under this Agreement to any entity listed on Appendix 5 in connection
with a merger, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all relevant assets, then Licensee may, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after receiving notice of such assignment, notify Loudcloud or its successor in interest of
Licensee’s election to reduce the Minimum Revenue Commitments in Schedule 3. In that event, the monthly Minimum Revenue Commitments for the duration of the Initial Term of this Agreement shall be equal to the average of the actual monthly fees
payable by Licensee during the three calendar months preceding the month in which Licensee gives its notice of election (determined under Schedule 4 based upon Devices managed using the Technology, and not based upon the Minimum Revenue Commitments
then in effect). Renewal of this Agreement following such Initial Term will require mutual agreement of Licensee and Loudcloud’s successor in interest.

 Minimum Revenue Commitments 
  
 Throughout the Initial Term of this Agreement and, if
applicable, the First and Second Renewal Terms, Licensee will pay Loudcloud either (a) the minimum dollar amount set forth below for the applicable month (the “Minimum Commitment”), or (b) the actual fees payable under Appendix 4 for such

successfully delivers the applicable Acceptance Candidate, except that if the delivery is not made by the end of the Initial Term of this License Agreement, then such withheld Minimum Commitment amounts will be waived

	These platforms are already supported; no withholding is applicable. 
 

  
 Example: if **** is five months late, then the amount withheld is 4% of Monthly Minimum Commitment for the first 3 months, and 8% in months 4 and 5. If the platform support
Acceptance Candidate is delivered in Month 6, then the cash withheld is paid to Loudcloud in Month 6. (Note: withholding applies only to Minimum Commitments in excess of actual fees for deployed Devices at the rates shown on Appendix 4. If the
actual fees in a given month equal or exceed the Minimum Commitment, then there is no withholding for that month.)
