Under the Program, and consistent with the objectives of the Plan, certain employees, including the Company's named executive officers, may receive bonuses upon satisfaction of fiscal 2018 revenue and EBITDA targets (collectively, the “Performance Targets”), with such metrics receiving different weightings based on each employee’s position, as well as discretionary bonuses based on individual performance.  Each Performance Target corresponds to a fixed dollar amount bonus opportunity for the employee.  Pursuant to the Program, in 2018 the Company's named executive officers have target bonuses based on the Performance Targets achieved, if any, and individual performance as follows: (i) Rosanna McCollough’s target bonus is $85,000, (ii) Vance Chang’s target bonus is $50,000, and (iii) Kurt Donnell’s target bonus is $50,000.  90% of each named executive’s target bonus is based upon the achievement of the applicable Performance Targets with 10% based upon individual performance.  Actual bonus amounts paid may be more or less than the target bonus amounts depending on the level of achievement of the specified Performance Targets and individual performance.
