3. FEES PAYABLE

3.1 Payment Term.

3.1.1 The Payment Term begins on the first day as a full time employee as
mentioned in the offer letter. This would continue for a period of 6 months.
For example, if You join a company and start receiving your salary as a full
time Employee from January, 2022, the payment term would be from
January, 2022 till June 2022, for a payment of 6 monthly cycles.

3.1.2 The initiation of the payment term is valid for any job that you obtain.
After this, the Company is not entitled to any amount.

3.1.3 The Payment Term will pause in case You lose the job due to reasons
beyond your control (limited to cost cutting, layoffs, company shutting
down) and not other reasons (resignation). The Payment Term will restart
once you get a job.

3.2 Monthly Payments.

3.2.1 You agree to make your Monthly Payments within the 10th of the
corresponding month. This shall continue for 6 monthly cycles as mentioned

Sharpener, No 38/1 Laxmipura,Vaderahalli -Sakalvara Road, Anekal, Taluk, Bangalore- 560083


in the Payment Term. Failure to do so will make you liable for Late Payment
Fees as mentioned below.

3.2.2 If you make all required payments on time during your Payment Term,
you will not owe anything at the end of your Payment Term.

3.3 Calculation of Your Initial Monthly Payments.

3.3.1 Not later than 3 days after accepting your offer letter, you agree to
provide Sharpener with a copy of your offer letter from your employer
containing your salary information for the current organization whose offer
you have accepted.

3.3.2 Calculation of your monthly payments shall be made by calculating


your monthly income from your CTC after deducting your stock options,
variable pay and future loyalty payouts, joining bonus. It shall include any
monetary benefits that you receive only within the first six months as per
your offer letter. The monthly payment to the Company shall be 17% of your
monthly income as written in your offer letter, as calculated above plus GST
as applicable by the Indian Government during the time of initiating the
Payment Term.
For example, if you get a job offer of 15 LPA (Lakhs per annum) CTC, of
which 2 LPA is variable and 1Lakh is Joining bonus, your base salary is
actually (15 - 2 - 1) LPA or 12LPA. Thus, your monthly base salary as per
your offer letter is 12LPA / 12 months, or 1 Lakh per month. Our charges,
now, are 17% of 1Lakh, or Rs 17,000/- per month for a period of 6 months,
plus the taxes as applicable by the Indian government at that point of time.

3.3.3 Other amounts deducted from your salary credited such as income tax,
PF, EPF, Flexi Pay or Health Insurance cannot be deducted from Sharpener's
calculations since these are a part of your fixed monthly salary and vary for
different students based on their preferences.
