2016 Short Term Incentive Plan 




Introduction
Congratulations on your participation in the 2016 Short Term Incentive Plan ("Plan").  The purpose of this Plan is to provide a mechanism to meaningfully reward you for contributing to the Company's success.
This Plan has two components:
		
	•
	Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance as compared to Company Adjusted EBITDA as established in the Budget; and


		
	•
	Discretionary.


By working to impact Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance, you contribute to the success of the Company and your professional and financial success.
Amounts which may be payable under the Plan are divided among the two components as follows:
	
		
	Incentive Plan Components
	Plan Component Percentages

	Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance
	60%

	Discretionary
	40%






Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at its sole discretion, no amount shall be payable under the Plan in the event that the Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance for 2016 is less than the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum.

For Example, a Participant would be eligible for an Award for this Plan component based on the following details: 
Actual Eligible Earnings = $250,000 
Participant Target Incentive = up to 50% (50% of Participant Maximum Incentive) of Actual Eligible Earnings at 100% Budget achievement
Participant Maximum Incentive = 100% ($250,000) of Actual Eligible Earnings
Plan components = Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance = 60% & Discretionary = 40% 
Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum is satisfied 
Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance for 2016 = 100% Budget achievement
Earned Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance component = $75,000 ($250,000 x 50% Participant Target Incentive x 60% Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance component percentage x 100% [for achieving 100% of Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance])
Discretionary
This Plan component is based upon the sole discretion of the Committee which may take into consideration personal performance in determining what Award is made for 2016.


General Plan Policies & Procedures
Eligibility
		
	•
	Employee Partners can be Participants as approved by the Committee to be a Participant.  A Participant’s Incentive opportunity shall be set forth in the Participant’s offer letter which may be modified from time-to-time by the Committee at its sole discretion.  


		
	•
	A Participant must be employed by the Company for at least 3 months to be eligible to receive an Award.  An Employee Partner who is otherwise eligible but who has been employed for less than all of 2016 will be eligible for an Award based upon Actual Eligible Earnings and the Adjusted EBITDA Performance for the full 2016 fiscal year.


		
	•
	If a Participant is newly hired, promoted or transferred to a new incentive eligible position during the year, any Award will be calculated based on the Actual Eligible Earnings earned in each eligible position. 


		
	•
	A Participant’s termination of employment (voluntary or involuntary) for any reason before the date on which an Award is paid by the Company will result in forfeiture of the Award.  In addition, any Participant who is reassigned or demoted to another position that is not eligible for this Plan during the Company’s 2016 fiscal year will no longer be eligible for an Award pursuant to this Plan.


		
	•
	Awards will be calculated based on the Actual Eligible Earnings for the applicable incentive eligible position of each Participant and the Adjusted EBITDA Performance for the full 2016 fiscal year.


Awards
Regardless of whether any performance factors or measures are met, any amounts which may be awarded at the Committee’s discretion will be subject to the issuance of the financial audit for the Company’s 2016 fiscal year.  The Committee shall have the discretion of whether any amount may be payable after the Committee has determined whether the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum has been satisfied.  No amount shall be payable if the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum is not satisfied.  In all events, any amounts which may be paid are subject to applicable withholding and other payroll taxes.  Any Award will be automatically forfeited if the Participant is not employed at the time of payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who is on a Family and Medical Leave Act leave or Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act leave on the date of payment of the Award shall be treated as employed on said date.  
Administration
The Committee shall have sole authority to determine whether any amount will be awarded under this Plan or under any Award issued under this Plan.  The Committee reserves the right to reduce or eliminate this Plan and any Award, including the determination to cancel an Award that may be granted hereunder at any time at its sole discretion. All 









decisions of the Committee shall be final and conclusive and without liability to any person.  The Committee may decide, at its sole discretion, that no amount may be paid hereunder should the Committee determine that the circumstances warrant either as a result of a Participant's performance or other actions, or, with respect to the overall condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company.  No amount shall be set aside in a trust or otherwise segregated to fund the payment of any Award hereunder.  
Adjustments Upon Certain Events
The Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum is established with respect to the entities comprising the Company Group and the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum must be met by such Company Group.  In the event any new properties or if entities are acquired or added to the Company Group after the first day of the 2016 Fiscal year, the Committee may adjust the Budget with respect to each such added property or entities within 90 days of the closing of such acquisition in order to adjust the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum for the budgeted performance of such properties/entities.  The Committee may, at its sole discretion and without liability to any person, adjust the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum to consider any new or added entities or Clubs, if any, as it deems appropriate at its sole discretion, including with respect to establishing performance factors and measures with respect to such addition, provided such performance features or measures are established within 90 days of the addition. 
No Right to Employment or Awards; No Transferability of Awards
Information contained in this Plan and any other communications made by management do not constitute an implied or expressed contract or binding agreement between the Company and any Participant.   The granting of an Award shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Subsidiary to continue the employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company's or Subsidiary's right to terminate the employment of such Participant.  No Participant or other person shall have any claim to any term of employment by reason of any Award or this Plan and all employment shall continue to be employment at will.  No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award or be vested in any Award at any time, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants.  The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee's determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).  Any Award shall be personal to the Participant and is not assignable or subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, sale or transfer by the Participant to any beneficiary or otherwise. 
Amendments; Termination; Interpretation
Notwithstanding that the Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum may have been met, the Committee reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, alter or eliminate this Plan and any Award or payment which may be paid at any time, regardless of whether any performance factors or measures are met.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent applicable, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and, if applicable, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued (“Section 409A”).  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event Section 409A is applicable to any Award issued hereunder and the Committee determines that any amounts which may be paid hereunder will be taxable to a Participant and not in compliance with Section 409A prior to payment to such Participant of such amount, the Company may (i) adopt such amendments and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of any Award paid hereunder and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
This document supersedes all prior incentive compensation plans or agreements regarding the subject matter of this Plan, each of which is of no further force and effect.
