remain in a pending status prior to being credited to an Affiliate. This number will be referred
to as the “Pending Sales Period” and is defined as 0 days unless specified in the “Addendum” to

the commission for the remainder of the current month, plus 19 days into the next month. At
that time, the commission will be paid to the Affiliate and the Merchant will no longer be able
to reverse the sale.

agrees to keep in their AforeMedia account a balance of monies equal to the current value of
any pending transactions posted to their account.
