As provided in the Employment Agreement, the Employee’s base salary is subject to annual review and may, in the Committee’s discretion, be increased or decreased under the Company’s standard compensation policies for executive-level employees.  With respect to the Executive, the Committee has reviewed Executive’s base salary and concluded that it is appropriate to adjust Executive’s base salary for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year to $650,000.

Moreover, the Executive’s actual Bonus for a fiscal year is an amount ranging from 0% to 170.5% of the Target Bonus (or such upper percentage limit as otherwise established in writing by the Committee), contingent upon the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the Committee.
Accordingly, this is to provide notice to the Executive that Executive’s Target Bonus for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year is being adjusted to $1,300,000 and actual Bonus will be an amount ranging from 0% to 200% of the Target Bonus. Thus, the maximum Bonus payable to the Executive for the 2018 fiscal year will be $2,600,00 (i.e., 200% of the Target Bonus).

The PSA that is payable for the performance period, if any, shall be an amount ranging from 0% to 150% of the target number of shares, contingent on the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the Committee.
Accordingly, this is to provide notice to the Executive that Executive’s PSA target for the 2018 fiscal year will be based on a grant value of $975,000; the PSA payable with respect to such grant shall be in the 0% to 150% range of the target.
