Bonus. With respect to each fiscal year that ends during the Employment Term, commencing with fiscal year 2024, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus in such amounts and based upon achievement of such corporate and/or individual performance and other criteria as shall be approved by the Compensation Committee from time to time, with a target amount, if such performance and other criteria are achieved, of eighty-five percent (85%) of the Base Salary (the “Target Bonus Amount”), which bonus shall be paid in a manner consistent with the Company’s bonus practices then in effect. The Target Bonus Amount and the maximum payout for any subsequent renewal Term of the Agreement shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. To be eligible to receive a bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date the bonus is paid.

Bonus. During the Period of Employment, the Executive will be entitled to participate in a cash bonus program. For any fiscal year of the Company that occurs during the Period of Employment, the bonus program for such fiscal year will be based on certain financial, operational, or other metrics or goals, and may include a component based on the Executive’s individual performance and contributions to the Company, all as determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion. The Executive’s target bonus for a fiscal year (commencing with fiscal year 2018) shall be 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary for such fiscal year, with the Executive’s actual bonus for any year to be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof). The Executive’s bonus (if any) for a particular fiscal year shall be paid not later than two and one-half months following the end of that fiscal year. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date that the Company actually pays bonuses under such program for a particular fiscal year in order to be considered for and to have earned his bonus (if any) for such fiscal year.

The Executive shall be eligible to receive a (“Bonus”) with respect to each full fiscal year or part thereof (subject to Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 hereof) in respect of his employment hereunder, as set forth in this Section 3. The amount of Bonus, if any, that the Executive is eligible to earn in any fiscal year during the Term hereof pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be based on the fiscal targets and performance metrics that the Compensation Committee of the Board adopts, in its sole discretion, from year to year. During the Term, in addition to the Salary, for each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive, at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, a performance bonus based on a combination of both Company financial performance (“Company Performance Bonus”) and individual performance (“Individual Performance Bonus”), collectively, the BonusBonus”). Applicable and specific Company and Individual performance criteria for the Executive will be determined by the Compensation Committee based on its consultation with the CEO (who also shall consult with the Executive) and such criteria will be set forth in writing annually. Bonus consideration will be based on two specific areas defined herein, unless changed by mutual agreement:

Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual target bonus (a “Bonus”) if, as reasonably determined by the Board or, to the extent delegated by the Board, the Committee one or more of the performance targets annually determined by the Board or the Committee (“Performance Targets”) is achieved. If all of the Performance Targets are achieved, the Bonus will equal not less than 40 percent of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”). In the event that less than all of the Performance Targets are met by Executive, the Bonus paid in respect of this paragraph may be less than the Target Bonus. Except as set forth in Section 5(a) hereof, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day any such earned Bonus is paid which shall be not later than 2½ months after the end of each calendar year. The Executive’s target bonus opportunity as a percentage of Base Salary may be reviewed periodically and adjusted in the sole discretion of the Board. After any such adjustment, the term “Target Bonus” shall refer to the increased amount.

Bonus. During the Employment Period, Executive will participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan applicable to senior executives and thereunder be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (the “Bonus”) in the amount of 60% of the Base Salary upon achievement of target-level performance (the “Target Bonus”). The actual amount of any Bonus shall be determined pursuant to the annual bonus plan, which shall be determined by the Board. All Bonuses shall be paid in the calendar year following the calendar year to which they relate at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make payment of any such Bonus by March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Bonus relates. To the extent any terms of the applicable bonus plan conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the plan’s terms shall control. In addition, the Company may amend, restate or terminate its bonus plan in its sole discretion from time to time and Executive’s receipt of any bonus is subject to meeting eligibility requirements.

Annual Bonus. Executive shall also be eligible to receive, in addition to the Base Salary, an annual bonus having a target amount equal to 55% of Executive's Base Salary ("Target Bonus"), with the actual amount being determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its discretion taking into account the Company's performance and Executive's individual performance. In order to receive a Target Bonus, Executive must be employed by Employer on the date the bonus is paid.

Annual Bonus. In addition to his Base Compensation, Executive shall be eligible to receive each year during the Term, a cash incentive payment (“Bonus”) in an amount determined by the Board based on Executive’s individual performance, the performance of Company and performance goals established by the Board. The target Bonus shall be an amount equal to 75% of Executive’s Base Compensation in effect at the time the Bonus is determined (“Target Bonus”). Such Bonus, if any, shall be paid not later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Bonus was earned. Except as otherwise stated expressly in this Agreement, Executive must be employed with Company through December 31 of the calendar year during which the Bonus is earned to receive any part of the Bonus payment.

Annual Bonus Compensation. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s annual incentive plan for executive officers (or any successor thereto). Based upon attainment of performance goals predetermined by the Compensation Committee, Executive shall be entitled to an Annual Bonus payment at a target level of 50% of Executive’s Annual Salary. The Compensation Committee shall review the target annual bonus percentage during the Term and may increase such percentage as it may deem advisable (such target annual bonus, as the same may be increased, the “Target Annual Bonus”).

Bonus. Starting with Fiscal Year 2025, Executive shall be eligible for a target bonus of 50% of the base salary paid to Executive during the prior fiscal year based upon the Board’s assessment of his performance and the performance of the Company during the prior fiscal year. For clarity, the Executive’s target bonus for Fiscal Year 2024 will be 40% of the base salary paid to the Executive during such year. Unless otherwise stated herein, to earn any bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day such bonus is paid. In all events, any bonus awarded pursuant to this Section 3(b) will be paid within 2-1/2 months following the end of the fiscal year for which it is earned.

“4 (b). Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year ending during Executive’s employment, Executive will be eligible to earn an annual bonus. The target amount of that bonus will be 100% percent of Executive's Base Salary for the applicable fiscal year.”
