Heckman would be eligible for bonuses of up to $250,000 in 2016 based on their performance during the year. The Committee will review each executive officer’s performance on a periodic basis in 2016 and determine what, if any, portion of the bonus he has earned and will be paid as of such point. In this regard, $150,000 of the foregoing bonuses for each person is eligible for granting based on the Committee’s evaluation of the executive officers’ performances and the balance for each person will be eligible for granting based on performance only after the Company has achieved positive adjusted EBITDA for one quarter in 2016.
