At the time of his appointment, Mr. van Straalen agreed to continue working pursuant to the terms of his existing secondment agreement, dated as of January 9, 2013, between him and ID&T/SFX North America LLC, a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company, until a subsequent agreement was reached to reflect his new duties. On October 30, 2014, the compensation committee (the Compensation Committee) of the board of directors of the Company approved the terms of a new compensation arrangement with Mr. van Straalen in his capacity as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Under the terms of his new compensation arrangement, Mr. van Straalen will receive a base salary of $352,800 and a guaranteed annual bonus of $150,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the option award, 20% of the award vested on the date of grant and 20% of the award will vest on each of April 1, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to Mr. van Straalens continued employment with the Company. During the term of the new compensation arrangement, Mr. van Straalen is entitled to a housing allowance of $16,225 per month while he and his family reside in New York, New York. The terms and conditions of Mr. van Straalens new compensation arrangement will be memorialized in a comprehensive amended and restated multi-year secondment agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and Mr. van Straalen.
