Whether to grant an Annual Bonus, and in what amount, are determinations to be made in the discretion of the Company based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, achievement of objectives established by the Board (and/or the Compensation Committee thereof (the “Compensation Committee”)) and specific annual objectives for your position set by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee. Since one of the objectives of the Annual Bonus is employee retention, in order to remain eligible and receive any Annual Bonus, you must be employed through the end of the calendar year and still be employed by the Company at the time it makes bonus payments to employees for that year -- generally during the first quarter of the following year.”

Annual Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, Employee will be eligible for an annual performance bonus, to be payable upon achievement of performance goals and objectives to be mutually agreed upon by the Employee and the Company’s Board of Directors in advance of the relevant performance period.

The objectives, terms, and conditions of the Bonus Program shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company. The amount and frequency of any bonus payments shall be reviewed at least annually and determined in the sole discretion of the Company. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, revoke, or rescind the Bonus Program in part or in whole at any time.

Any dispute regarding whether Employee has met the objectives shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee thereof (excluding Employee, if then a Board member) in the exercise of its sole discretion.

Annual Incentive Bonus. Following the end of each fiscal year and subject to the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, you will be eligible to earn an incentive bonus, based on your performance and the Company’s performance, each during the applicable fiscal year, and subject to your continued employment in good standing on the date of payment of such incentive bonus.

You will be eligible for a target incentive opportunity for your first year of employment which shall not be prorated..
