Can resellers sell maintenance for Modo? • Resellers will be able to purchase both new licenses (including maintenance) and separate maintenance to add to a license, and handle maintenance renewals on behalf of their customers. • All purchasing will be done through our sales team. • Reseller margin for licenses & maintenance will be our standard structure (i.e. same as Nuke, Mari etc) • If customers wish to access RLM licensing, these orders can be processed from launch date. If you want RLM licenses, please make it clear on your order so it will be processed now and not queued. • If the customer wishes to purchase login-based licenses, we are aiming to be able to process these orders on May 2nd , 2017. Strictly Confidential
How do we provide login-based licensing? Order process • All sales will need to be transacted through our order team (no online orders). • Order processed as standard with upfront margin same as perm & rental. • All subscriptions will be auto-renewal (process for renewal & opt-out will be sent out at launch). • Standard cancellation policies apply – If customer wants refund within 14 days, they must cancel in their online account first before approaching you for refund. We shall then confirm the cancellation and issue a credit note. Licenses will be provided as activation keys • Order team will provide an activation key to pass to customer. • Customer activates entitlement into their online account on our website. • Customer gets access to online subscription account management services.

Modo 10 activation keys • If you have any Modo 10 activation keys currently unsold, please flag these with Naz before Tuesday 18th April. • Activation page online will still be available post Modo 11 launch (as it is the same page as we use for PKATs) Reseller FAQ • Detailed FAQ will be sent as follow-up to call. RLM vs login-based licensing • If enterprise customer has central floating licensing server, RLM is best option. • If customer needs to coterm maintenance – RLM is current option. • If customer wishes to switch existing RLM license to login-based license, we cannot do this at launch, but are working on a solution. Modo Extended Bundle • No longer available from Modo 11 launch. Strictly Confidential
