Individual bonus amounts for the Company’s named executive officers were determined by the board of directors of the Company, after consultation with the ad hoc compensation committee of the board of directors and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (with respect to the individual bonus amounts for each named executive officer other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), based upon (i) each named executive officer’s general individual performance, including work output, and performance within the management team; (ii) each named executive officer’s contributions toward the Company’s various strategic initiatives, including target gross margin percentage and EBITDA, growth of the Hosted VoIP platform, and continued progress toward transforming the Company’s customer base; (iii) each named executive officer’s overall significance toward the short- and long-term success of the Company’s business; and (iv) the scope of each named executive officer’s duties and responsibilities within the Company. Although the board of directors of the Company recommended that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer be entitled to a bonus of $300,000, Mr. Robinson has elected not to receive such bonus.
