OPN offers numerical subscription Levels (Levels 0 and above) designed to provide differentiated benefits and resources to assist you in engaging with Oracle and with our customers.

In selecting an OPN Numerical Level, you have flexibility and choice in determining how you would like to invest in benefits and incentives that make the most sense for your business. Visit Oracle.com/partner to learn more.

Prior to submitting your subscription, view important details regarding OPN Incentives and Oracle Partner Credits Options here.

With subscription to Level 1 or above, you will have the option to enroll into optional Paths, at no additional cost, based on your areas of go-to-market focus. You may enroll into optional Paths after you submit your membership renewal and anytime during your membership term. Path enrollments will renew annually with your Level membership subscription.

Optional Paths:

• Industry Healthcare Path: provides additional resources to assist you in building and selling your value-added package that is built with Oracle Cloud Services and certain Oracle Healthcare products.
• License and Hardware Path: provides additional resources to assist you in building your value-added package as well as reselling and supporting Oracle programs and/or hardware with your value-added package.

For details, view this video: Selecting an OPN Numerical Level and Optional Path (if eligible) for Your Business to determine how you would like to engage with Oracle, based on your business strategy.

• 1. Sign in to Oracle Partner Hub
• 2. From menu icon in the upper left corner, click on “Company Details” under “Membership”
• 3. On “Memberships” tab, click on “Paths”
• 4. On Paths page, click “Apply for New”

By now you understand what type of membership Level to select and have determined if you plan to join any optional Paths. We'd also like to provide some guidance on paying for your membership.

Note: Supported payment methods vary by country.

For Levels 2 and 3, you will have the option of:

• Full payment in advance of membership activation and benefit availability

OR

• Request quarterly payments of equal amounts beginning with membership activation and benefit availability.

Once you submit your membership subscription renewal, you can expect to receive your invoice for the payment of the Level subscription fee (and applicable taxes) from Oracle within 72 hours of your membership start date. Also, prior to availability of your formal Oracle invoice, you will receive an "Estimated Invoice" notification with bank details and estimated fees due so you can submit payment and activate your membership. Please reference your Subscription ID on your payment, to expedite processing.

Note: Your subscription will be activated while we wait for your payment per the terms of your invoice.

Company Legal Structure

During your renewal, we'll ask what type of legal form your organization is. Depending on your response, we may need to point you to other options or request additional information for our review. Below are the available responses:

• Publicly Traded Entity: Entity whose stock or equity interest is listed on an exchange or trading market. If 30% or more of your company is owned by a government or state-owned entity, please select "Government or State-Owned Entity".
• Private Entity: Private entity that is not traded on an exchange or trading market, such as an LLC, SA (Société Anonyme), SARL (société à responsabilité limitée), or partnership.
• Government or State-Owned Entity: An entity that is owned partially or in whole by a national, state, or local government. Company is publicly traded but 30% or more is owned by a government or other state-owned entity.
• Individual or Sole Proprietor / EURL: OPN is not set up for this type of structure, so if you select this option, you will be asked to get started through the Oracle Developer Resource Center or Oracle University Learning options.
• Other: Such as Charity, Non-Profit Organization, Membership Association, or other type of entity not listed above. If you select this option, we'll need you to provide additional information about the legal form of your organization, its ownership, oversight, and management. Also, please note, there might be a slight delay in processing your enrollment as we verify your details.

Oracle's Partner Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

It's important to us that every one of our partners is aligned with our core values. Please read through the Partner Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. During your renewal we'll need you to confirm that you have reviewed this.

Confirmation of Ethical Company Behavior

Oracle's reputation and success, as well as your own, depend upon the commitment that you make to uphold Oracle's values of trust, integrity, and honesty. We're sure you'll understand that because of this we'll need you to confirm the following statements about your company.

• No officers or shareholders of my company were previously employed at a company that was terminated by Oracle PartnerNetwork.
• Within the last 5 years, my company and/or any company principals have not been convicted for or reached a settlement or other government resolution relating to violations of money laundering, fraud, embezzlement, or anti-bribery laws.
• No majority or controlling shareholders, officers, or sales teams involved in Oracle transactions currently hold or have in the past 7 years held public or government office.

If you cannot confirm, we'll need you to provide details for a company representative that Oracle can contact about this matter, as well as any supporting documents.

Oracle Employee Involvement in Your Company

Lastly, with regards to Oracle employee involvement in your company, if any of the statements below apply to your company, please be prepared to explain and/or provide the name of the individual(s) involved, their job title(s), dates of employment at Oracle, and office location where individual(s) worked while at Oracle.

If you cannot confirm, we'll ask you to provide an explanation and the contact details for a company representative that Oracle can contact about this matter.

Your majority or controlling shareholders, officers, and sales teams involved in Oracle transactions:

• are not current Oracle employees and have not been Oracle employees within the last 3 years
• do not have any family relations with current Oracle employees

We'll need someone authorized by your company to accept the OPN membership terms. We recommend that you review the terms and policies prior to initiating your renewal, so you can determine who will be finalizing your enrollment. Also, you'll have the option to accept the terms online or choose instead to download and print the terms, sign and then return the signed agreement.

Actions for Principals with Associates

As the Principal entity, you will be agreeing to the OPN terms and setting up your company's overall OPN membership. Here are a few follow up steps:

1. If your company already has Associate entities enrolled as OPN members, during your renewal, you will be asked if you'd like to preapprove your Associates. When you opt to preapprove them all at once, you will not need to approve each one as their enrollments are submitted.
2. Once you submit your enrollment, you may remind your Associates to submit their enrollments (note, each Associate will receive an email reminder to renew as well)
3. If you have not opted to preapprove Associates, watch for your notification to approve your Associates' affiliation with your company's membership and make sure you submit your approval on a timely basis (note, this may be done while your enrollment is pending)

Please keep this timing in mind when planning your renewal to make sure you give your entire company time to complete the process well before your membership end date.

Actions for Associates to a Principal OPN Member

If you are joining as an Associate, your Principal entity will need to submit their renewal application and approve your renewal before it can be activated. The steps to renew your OPN membership are the same as above except:

1. You'll select "Associate" as your membership type
2. Instead of agreeing to the OPN terms, you'll note that your membership is governed by the terms and conditions agreed to by your Principal entity
3. You'll submit your own payment details
4. If your Principal's Partner Administrator has preapproved your enrollment, once your enrollment is approved by Oracle, your renewal will be activated when your Principal's renewal is active
5. If your enrollment is not already preapproved, your Principal's Partner Administrator will be requested to approve your association with their OPN membership. Once approved, your enrollment will go through the standard processing steps

During the membership renewal enrollment process, if you to need to pause for any reason, you may save your unfinished enrollment and continue later. To resume a saved enrollment:

1. Go to https://partners.oracle.com/renewmembership
2. Search for the unfinished/saved enrollment
3. Click "Resume" to continue and submit

Ensuring you have no lapse in OPN membership is important to maintaining business continuity. Access to benefits, Expertise validity, and other program elements and agreements are contingent upon your being a current, valid OPN member.

If something came up and you were not able to renew your membership during the 90-day renewal period prior to your renewal date, there are a few actions you may take when you go to Memberships > OPN Membership on the Oracle Partner Store. The action depends on what triggered the lapse and on the length of time it's been since your last membership end date.

1. Lapsed up to 1 year: If you did not submit your renewal during the renewal period, you will still be able to select "Renew" up to 1 year after your last OPN Membership End Date. Your benefits will have lapsed during this time and will reactivate in conjunction with your new membership start and end dates.
2. Renewal declined: If you applied for renewal but your payment was not received, your renewal will have then been declined. In this case, you will not see the Renew option. You will need to select "Apply" to initiate a new enrollment.
3. Lapsed more than 1 year: If it has been more than 1 year from your last OPN Membership End Date, you will need to select "Apply" to initiate a new OPN membership enrollment.

When you renew your OPN membership, you are agreeing to the then current OPN terms, and you will have a new membership term date. You may have other program elements that also need attention during your renewal period. Below are a few considerations:

• Oracle Demonstration Services Addendum – This addendum is tied to your OPN membership, so once you renew your membership, make sure you execute this addendum to continue accessing demo.oraclecloud.com.
• Oracle SaaS Demonstration Instance – If you currently have an Oracle SaaS Demonstration Instance, make sure you renew this once your OPN membership and Level subscription are activated.
• Cloud Environments for Development, Testing and Demonstration: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services – If you have OCI environments where you are using UC credits issued as an OPN benefit, use your new benefit to purchase Oracle Universal Credits with Partner Credits or cash so that any future billing will be set at 55% discount on the rate card.
• Go-to-Market Agreements – Go-to-market agreements such as the Master Distribution Agreement and any associated addenda are contingent upon having a current, valid OPN membership. Although the term end date may not be the same as the OPN membership renewal date, it's important that you pay attention to the term end dates of these agreements and that you execute them in a timely manner.
