EXHIBIT A

 

COMPENSATION RIDER

 

Richard D. Lara

 

 

(a)

Base Salary:  Commencing on February 1, 2018 and during the remainder of the Term, the Company shall pay Executive an annual base salary of $400,000 (“Base Salary”), in accordance with the payroll policies of the Company from time to time in effect (currently payable bi-weekly) and provided to Executive in writing, less amounts as may be required to be withheld by applicable federal, state and local law and regulations, and any applicable deductions under the Company benefit plans and consistent with this Employment Agreement.

 

(b)

Bonuses:  In addition to an annual performance-based bonus (the amount of which is to be determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and as approved by the Board of Directors), Executive is also entitled to a bonus of 5% of net savings realized from the $3.8 million in legal costs paid by SBS to law firms Kaye Scholer LLP and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP during the 2015 calendar year for legal services rendered (the “2015 Base Year”).  During the Term, the total legal expense the Company incurs each quarter from Kaye Scholer and Stroock (and/or their alternates, if any) will be compared with the corresponding quarter in the 2015 Base Year to determine the net savings realized.  Payment of this bonus shall be made to Executive on a quarterly basis.
