EXHIBIT A

 

EBITDA Bonus

 

Commencing with fiscal year 2014 and for each fiscal year during the Term thereafter during which Executive is performing services to the Company, Executive shall be eligible to earn a cash bonus, referred to herein as the EBITDA Bonus. The EBITDA Bonus, if any, shall be payable in cash on or about April 15 of the year immediately following the fiscal year for which such EBITDA Bonus is calculated.

 

The EBITDA Bonus shall be an amount determined by reference to Executive’s achievement of performance objectives established by the Board for each fiscal year. The performance objectives for fiscal year 2014 are set forth in this Exhibit A.

 

For purposes hereof and subject to the terms of this Exhibit A, “Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, calculated based on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable fiscal year in question prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Adjusted EBTIDA will be calculated after taking into account the EBITDA Bonus and any other management incentive cash bonuses. For purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA:

 

For fiscal year 2014, Executive shall be entitled to an EBITDA Bonus, if any, equal to the Percentage of Base Salary for such fiscal year set forth below. The Percentage of Base Salary shall be determined by reference to Executive’s Total Achievement Score for such fiscal year, which score will be determined by the Board of Directors (or a committee of the Board) based on Executive’s achievement of the individual performance objectives for such fiscal year set forth below. The Board’s determination of Executive’s achievement of an individual performance objective score will either be objective based upon measured financial results or at the discretion of the Board based upon the Board’s subjective analysis.
