Set forth below
is a brief description of the principal occupation and business experience of each of our nominees for director, as well as the
summary of our views as to the qualifications of each nominee to serve on the Board and each board committee of which he or she
is a member. Our views are formed not only by the current and prior employment and educational background of our directors, but
also by the Board's experience in working with their fellow directors. All but two directors have served on the Board for at least
three years, and certain directors have ten or more years of experience on our Board. Accordingly, the Board has had significant
experience with the incumbent directors and has had the opportunity to assess the contributions that the directors have made to
the board as well as their industry knowledge, judgment and leadership capabilities.

E.
James Constantine has served as a director of the Company since October 2008. From 2006 through 2011, Mr. Constantine has
served as CEO of HPE America LLC, a holding of Piero Ferrari involved in power train development for NASCAR and Formula 1 racing
vehicles. The Company closed its operations in the U.S. in 2011 at which time Mr. Constantine retired. From February 2003 until
July 2006, Mr. Constantine was the CEO of Delta Motors LLC and a private holding company, MY Ventures, LLC, which held entities
engaged in development of embedded cellular transceivers, GPS and location-based services and technology, special purpose vehicles,
and commercial real estate. He previously served on the Board of Governors of Claremont McKenna College's Kravis Leadership Institute,
and was the commercial consultant to the City of Los Angeles for the creation of its electric vehicle initiative and development
of the first parallel hybrid vehicle. Mr. Constantine’s tenure as CEO of a company in the auto industry and a wireless communications
company provide valuable business, leadership and management experience, including expertise in creating value and product development
for our customers in the auto and real estate sectors. Mr. Constantine's experience as a CEO also provides valuable insights as
a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a member of the Audit Committee.



Tony
G. Holcombe was appointed as a director in 2011. Currently, Mr. Holcombe is Vice Chairperson of the Board of Syniverse, where
he served as that company’s President and CEO from 2006 to until his retirement in 2011. He has been a member of the Syniverse
Board since 2003. He also serves on the Nominating and Governance Committee of Syniverse. During his time as President and CEO
of Syniverse, Mr. Holcombe's many accomplishments included diversifying the business through several key acquisitions; defining
a strategic vision that transformed Syniverse from a North American roaming and clearing house provider to a leading global provider
of technology and business services to the mobile industry; and solidifying The Carlyle Group as the company's single investor
in January 2011 for $2.6 billion. Before becoming Syniverse's President and CEO, Mr. Holcombe served as president of Emdeon Corp.,
formerly WebMD, and as president of Emdeon Business Services. Mr. Holcombe has more than 20 years of executive-level experience
in the transaction processing and technology services industry. He was CEO of Valutec Card Solutions and served in various executive
positions at Ceridian Corporation, including EVP of Ceridian Corporation, president of Ceridian Employer Employee Services and
president of Comdata. Mr. Holcombe received his bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University, where he currently serves
as an Advisor for the Robinson College of Business. Mr. Holcombe’s wide-ranging business experience provides valuable knowledge
to our Audit Committee and as the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee.



Sherrie
G. McAvoywas appointed to the board in 2013. She spent her 31 year career at Deloitte & Touche LLP, a global accounting,
auditing and professional services firm. During her last five years with Deloitte, Ms. McAvoy served as the lead audit partner
supervising audits of both public and private companies in a diverse group of industries including retail, leisure and technology
services. She also held regional and national leadership positions in the retail and governance practices. Ms. McAvoy brings to
our Board diversified business experience as well as deep expertise on accounting, auditing, internal controls, risk management,
corporate compliance and ethics, and corporate governance. Ms. McAvoy received her Bachelor of Science degree from The Pennsylvania
State University in 1980. She is a Certified Public Accountant and a member of The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Ms. McAvoy served as an advisor to The Institute for Excellence in Corporate Governance at The University of Texas at Dallas from
its inception in 2002 through 2011. We believe that Ms. McAvoy's expertise garnered over 31 years with Deloitte brings a valuable
perspective to our Board on accounting, financial and internal control matters. She is Chairperson of the Audit Committee and
a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.



Stratton
J. Nicolaides served as CEO of the Company from April 2000 to September 2015, and served as COO from April 1999 until March
2000, and as Chairman of the Board since December 1999. In 2007, Mr. Nicolaides began serving as a director of the Taylor Hooton
Foundation, a non-profit organization formed to fight steroid abuse by America's youth. With his years of experience in the wireless
communication industry, including more than fifteen years of senior management experience at Numerex , we believe that Mr. Nicolaides'
deep industry knowledge and expertise in operations, product development, competitive intelligence and corporate strategy provides
the Board with significant insight across a broad range of issues critical to our business.

joined UTC as Vice President of Global Product Management. Mr. Rose held several global leadership positions during his 26 years
at GE including Executive Officer roles in GE's Appliances, Lighting and Security businesses. We believe his product development

Family Relationships



There are no family relationships among any
of our directors or executive officers.



Right to Designate Director and Board Composition



On March 30, 2016, the Company entered into
an agreement with Vertex Opportunities Fund, LP – Series One, Vertex Special Opportunities Fund II, LP, Vertex Special Opportunities
Fund III, LP, Vertex GP, LLC, Vertex Special Opportunities GP II, LLC, Vertex Special Opportunities GP III, LLC, Vertex Capital
Advisors, LLC, and Eric Singer (collectively, “VIEX”) under which the Company agreed:



| | (a) | to increase the number of members of the Board to eight and for a period until the date that is ten business days prior to
the deadline for the submission of shareholder nominations of individuals for election to the Board at the 2017 Annual Meeting
(the “Standstill Period”) and not to recommend or take action to increase the size of the Board to more than eight
directors;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | to appoint Eric Singer to fill the vacancy created thereby and elect Mr. Singer to the Audit Committee and the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | to nominate Brian Igoe, Eric Singer, Stratton Nicolaides, Marc Zionts, Tony Holcombe, Sherrie G McAvoy, Jerry A, Rose, and
Andrew Ryan (the “2016 Nominees”) for election to the Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting; and
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d) | if Eric Singer, Brian Igoe, or any replacement director for Eric Singer or Brian Igoe is unable to serve as a director during
the Standstill Period then VIEX will be given the right to recommend a substitute person to the Board, provided that VIEX, at the
time such individual is unable to serve as a director, beneficially owns in the aggregate at least 5% of the Company’s then
outstanding Class A Common Stock (Common Stock), such substitute person is independent pursuant to the SEC and NASDAQ listing standards,
and such substitute person is not an Affiliate or Associate of VIEX.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company previously entered into an agreement
providing Gwynedd Resources Ltd. (Gwynedd) the right to designate one director to the Board. Additionally, if the Board consists
of more than seven directors, Gwynedd, at its option, may designate one additional director. Any designee’s appointment will
be subject to the exercise by the Board of its fiduciary duties and the approval of the Company’s shareholders upon the expiration
of any appointed term at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Gwynedd waived its right to appoint an additional director during
the Standstill Period. Gwynedd’s right to designate a director will cease at such time as Gwynedd’s equity interest
in the Company drops below 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Ryan currently serves as Gwynedd’s sole
designee on the Board. In connection with the Company’s agreement with VIEX, Gwynedd agreed to vote all its shares of Common
Stock in favor of the election of the 2016 Nominees.



Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance



Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the
Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who are the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock are required to report their beneficial ownership of Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to the SEC. Based solely
on a review of the copies of reports furnish to, or filed by, us and written representations that no other reports were required,
we believe that during FY 2015, the Company’s officers and directors complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements,
except as follows:



There was one late Form 4 filing in FY 2015
as follows: July 29, 2015 for Jeffrey Smith for grants of share-based compensation.



Stock Ownership and Holding Requirements



In March 2015, we instituted a named executive
officer stock ownership policy to more closely align the interests of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) with those of our stockholders.
The stock ownership policy requires the CEO to own stock worth at least 3.0 times his base salary and all other NEOs to own stock
worth at least 1.0 times their base salary. NEOs have five years from the date of adoption of the policy to meet their respective
stock ownership guideline.



6







Compensation Claw Back Policy



In March 2015, we adopted
a compensation “claw back” policy applying to NEOs. In the event of a material restatement of the Company’s financial
results, the Board of Directors, after considering the facts and circumstances of the restatement, may take action against the
NEO including recoupment of all or part of any compensation paid to the NEO that was based up on the achievement of the financial
results that were subsequently restated.



Board Committees



The Board has a standing Audit Committee (the
“Audit Committee”), Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”). The Board has determined that all committee chairs and committee
members are independent under the applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules. The members of each of the Company’s committees during
FY 2015 are identified in the table below. Mr. Singer was appointed as a member of the Nominating and Audit committees in connection
with the Company’s agreement with VIEX on March 30, 2016.

benefits outside the scope of such person’s normal compensation. The Board considered the responses of the Company’s
directors, and independently considered all other material information relevant to each such director in determining such director’s
independence under applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules.



ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION



COMPENSATION DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS



This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains
the objectives, strategy and features of our executive compensation program, and it describes how the compensation of our executive
management aligns with our corporate objectives and shareholder interests. Although our executive compensation program is generally
applicable to all our senior executives, this discussion and analysis focuses primarily on the program as applied to our “Named
Executive Officers” (“NEOs”): the CEO, the CFO and the other officers included in the “Summary Compensation
Table”.



EXECUTIVE SUMMARY



The Company requires a highly skilled, motivated
and experienced executive team to lead its efforts to develop and sell complex end-to-end IoT solutions that help customers monitor
processes, equipment, condition or location. We must make investments that might not pay off for several years, while managing
costs and staying ahead of a market that changes rapidly due to advances in technology and competitive conditions.



While our business offers great opportunities,
as the uses of our products and services are broad-ranging, there is potential for over-investment in initiatives that do not find
a market. Consequently, our FY 2015 growth strategy maintained a balance of revenue and earnings targets.



8







During FY 2015, Numerex transitioned to a new
leadership team and began the process of revisiting its growth strategy. While that process was completed in FY 2015, with one
exception, the new leadership team was hired under the same compensation strategy and financial targets set earlier in FY 2015.
Annual cash bonuses were based on achieving revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
excluding the effect of equity-based compensation and non-operational items) goals set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning
of FY 2015. The one exception is that the new Chief Revenue Officer had a bonus target based purely on revenue targets for the
entire company for the period subsequent to his hire.



No formal compensation benchmarking was used
to determine pay for the new leadership team. Instead, the compensation committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”)
negotiated the employment terms with the new CEO and assessed competitiveness by considering the compensation package of the former
CEO and relying on the business experience of Compensation Committee members. Similarly, the new CEO negotiated the employment
terms with each new member of his team assessing competitiveness using his business experience, the pay of similarly situated prior
executives at Numerex with advice and approval from the Compensation Committee.



During FY 2015, our results fell short of our
bonus targets and, consequently, with the exception of the Chief Revenue Officer, neither any prior NEO nor any newly hired NEO
earned an incentive cash award under our 2015 non-equity incentive plan. Our Chief Revenue Officer received a fourth quarter bonus
assessed at 75% of target (prorated for his hire date).



THE ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE



The three-member Compensation Committee oversees
the Company’s executive compensation program. All of the members of the Compensation Committee have been determined by the
Board to be independent under applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules.



The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities
include:



| | · | Establishing the overall level of targeted compensation for each NEO
and how targeted compensation should be allocated among the three principal elements of compensation:
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | – | Base Salary;
| | - | ------------

| | – | Non-equity incentive plan awards – commonly referred to as cash bonuses; and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | – | Equity awards.
| | - | --------------

| | · | Setting the performance levels that must be achieved for NEOs to receive
or exceed their targeted bonuses.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Approving base pay adjustments for the NEOs after reviewing, among
a number of factors, performance, business results and competitive benchmarks.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Approving non-equity incentive awards after reviewing the NEO’s
performance and business results against established performance benchmarks.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Approving equity compensation grants to NEOs after reviewing, among
a number of factors, performance, business results, prior equity grants, and competitive benchmarks.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Reviewing and recommending to the full board appropriate levels of
board compensation.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company’s CEO participates in the
Compensation Committee’s meetings and provides input into compensation decisions at the Compensation Committee’s request.
In particular, the Company’s CEO participates by making recommendations on NEO compensation and input on objectives (other
than for himself). The CEO’s compensation is determined solely by the Compensation Committee.



The Use of Compensation Consultants



In FY 2015, the committee engaged Deloitte Consulting,
LLP as its compensation consultant. During FY 2015, Deloitte provided the Compensation Committee with ad hoc advice on pay issues,
equity targets for new hires and in reviewing the new CEO’s employment agreement. The Committee is solely and directly responsible
for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the consultant. The Committee considers a number of factors that could affect
Deloitte’s independence including that the consultant provides no other services for Numerex other than its engagement by
the Committee. Based on this review, the Committee has determined the consultant’s work for the Committee to be free from
conflicts of interest.



9







The compensation consultant
met as needed with the Compensation Committee and has direct access to the Compensation Committee chair during and between meetings.



The Use of Compensation Survey Data and
Peer Companies



During FY 2015, the Compensation
Committee did not conduct any formal competitive pay benchmarking. Instead the competitiveness of the pay offered to the newly
hired leadership team was based on negotiations, reference to general compensation trends, the pay of prior similarly situated
executives at Numerex, and the broad business experience of members of the Compensation Committee.



COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES AND INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS



The Committee does not
use any particular formula to determine specific allocations among the key elements of NEO compensation: base, annual cash bonus
and equity. Instead, the Committee looks to ensure that NEO compensation effectively drives a mix of short- and long-term performance
and is aligned with shareholders’ long-term interests.



The following describes
the general purpose of each element of compensation and how the Committee made FY 2015 pay decisions around each element.



Elements of Compensation



Base Salaries



We strive to provide competitive
base salaries that allow us to attract and retain a high performing leadership team at a reasonable level of fixed costs. Base
pay levels generally are set with reference to what the Compensation Committee determines to be market competitive but recognizes
that exceptions can exist to reflect a variety of factors such as skills and experience, individual performance track record, the
difficulty of replacement and affordability. Base salaries are reviewed annually and at other times if an executive officer’s
responsibilities have materially changed or other special circumstances warrant a review.



Non-Equity Incentive Based Awards



The annual “non-equity
incentive based awards,” or cash bonuses, are designed to maintain NEO focus and motivation around annual activities deemed
critical to growing shareholder value. In FY 2015, we continued our focus on a balance of growing both revenue and earnings and
our bonus plan was structured to support that.



With the exception of our
Chief Revenue Officer, the incentive awards pay out at targeted levels if revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, excluding the effect of equity-based compensation and non-operational items) achieve the challenging
growth goals budgeted for the fiscal year. Goals are based on company-wide results to encourage alignment among the business units.
The Committee determined the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA budgets prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Our Committee derives
compensation targets from the same process by which we develop our internal annual budget for the current fiscal year and projections
for future fiscal years. The Committee sets targets that it believes will be challenging for the NEOs to achieve and will require
significant growth and progress by the Company in furtherance of its business objectives. The Chief Revenue Officer’s targets
were based solely on achievement of company-wide revenue goals determined for the period subsequent to his hire.



The targeted bonus is payable
only if both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA reach at least the budgeted goal. An additional bonus, up to a maximum, is payable, prorated
on a straight line basis, if the results are between the budget and the “stretch” target. The FY 2015 targets were
$121.4 million for revenue and $19.7 million for Adjusted EBITDA (prior to bonus payments). Our targets were not met in either
of these areas and no bonuses were paid relative to these metrics. The all-company revenue goal for the Chief Revenue Officer was
established at $19.9 million for the fourth quarter and Numerex’s total revenue was 94.5% of the goal resulting in a bonus
payout of 75% of the CRO’s target.



10







The Compensation Committee decided to keep the
FY 2014 bonus targets in place for the prior NEOs during FY 2015. The newly hired NEOs, with the exception of the Chief Revenue
Officer as noted above, had the same bonus targets as the similarly situated prior NEOs.



|         |  | Non-Equity Plan Incentive Compensation payable for FY 2015 as a % of  Base Pay |

| | (2) | The Chief Revenue Officer’s non-equity plan incentive compensation is based solely on corporate-wide revenue during the

| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Equity Awards



We use equity compensation
as a long-term incentive to enhance the alignment of NEO compensation with shareholder returns and as a retention tool focused
on top executives that have the most direct line of sight to results.



In FY 2014, the Company
established a range of annual target equity grants based on those recommended as competitive by our Independent Compensation Consultant.
These targets remain unchanged for FY 2015 as follows:



|Position |  | The Value of Annual EquityGrants  as a % of Base Pay (1)
|-------- |  | --------------------------------------------------------
|CEO      |  | 80% - 120%                                              
|CFO      |  | 40% - 60%                                               
|CRO      |  | 40% - 60%                                               
|CMO      |  | 40% - 60%                                               
|CTO      |  | 40% - 60%                                               
|EVP      |  | 40% - 60%                                               








| | (1) | The value of stock options is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model value at the time of grant and the value of RSUs
is based on the product of the number of shares and the prevailing stock price at the time of grant.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The primary form of equity
compensation awarded by the Committee is nonqualified stock options and restricted share units (RSUs) with the granted value split
between the two. While the Committee references the competitive annual target range, the number of stock options and RSUs awarded
also reflects the Committee’s qualitative assessment of a variety of factors including the Company’s overall financial
performance, individual contributions towards that performance, prior grants and holdings, and individual contributions to particular
strategic initiatives or special projects.



11







Perquisites and Other Benefits



The Company does not provide
its NEOs with perquisites or employee benefits that are not generally available to other full-time employees. These include a medical,
dental, and life insurance plans and a 401(k) that matches 50% of an employee’s contributions up to the first 6% of the employee’s
salary subject to an overall dollar cap. The Company does not provide a pension plan or a supplemental retirement plan for its
named executive officers or any other employees.



During FY 2015, the Company
implemented an Incentive Share Purchase Incentive Program in which all employees, including NEOs, are eligible to participate.
The Plan allows employees to elect to “purchase” Numerex shares through an irrevocable annual payroll reduction. Shares
are granted at January 1, 2016 and have a value of 150% of the annual payroll reduction. The entire share grant, including the
additional 50%, vests at 50% per year over two years. Vesting is prorated upon involuntary termination of employment.



COMPENSATION DECISIONS FOR FY 2015



Pay for the newly hired CEO was negotiated by
the Compensation Committee. For the other newly hired NEOs, pay was negotiated between the CEO and the NEOs with Compensation Committee
approval. There were no base pay adjustments or bonuses paid to any former NEO. Former NEOs received an equity grant at the target
level during FY 2015.



As noted above, the Chief Revenue Officer received
a bonus in FY 2015 based on his performance against revenue targets for the period subsequent to his hire in the 4th
quarter.

| | (1) | The dollar value of stock awards shown represents the grant date fair
value calculated on the basis of the fair market value of the underlying shares of our Common Stock on the respective grant dates
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Certification (ASC) Topic 718 without any adjustment
for estimated forfeitures. The actual value that an executive will realize on each stock award will depend on the price per share
of our Common Stock at the time shares underlying the stock award are sold. There can be no assurance that the actual value realized
by an executive will be at or near the grant date fair value of the stock awarded.

The dollar value of the stock options, including stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) shown, represents the estimated
grant date fair value pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with no adjustment for estimated forfeitures. The actual
value, if any, which an executive may realize on each stock option will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise/base
price on the date the stock option is exercised and the shares underlying such stock option are sold. There is no assurance that
the actual value realized by an executive will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON
TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL



The employment of all of our named executive
officers is at will. However, they are entitled to certain severance benefits upon their termination of employment under certain
defined circumstances, as described further below.  There are no payments made to the named executive officers upon voluntary
retirement, voluntary resignation or upon death or disability.



The Company’s named executive officers
have taken professional risks in leaving prior employers or, in the case of former NEOs, made major contributions towards building
the Company into the enterprise that it is today. The Company believes that it is important to protect them in the event of an
involuntary termination. Further, it is the Company’s belief that the interests of its shareholders will be best served if
the interests of the Company’s senior management team are aligned with them, and providing change in control benefits should
eliminate, or at least reduce, the reluctance of senior management to pursue potential change in control transactions that are
in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.



Accordingly, the Company has entered into agreements
with the NEOs that provide the following benefits:



|Marc Zionts         | ·One year of base pay in the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason; after one year of employment, an additional payment equal to target bonus.

|Stratton Nicolaides | ·One year of base pay in the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason within one year following a change-in-control.

In all cases, all unvested equity grants are
vested upon a change-in-control.



Pursuant to those agreements, “termination
without cause” is deemed to be a “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (“the Code”). The concept of “resignation for good reason” encompasses termination of employment
following a diminution in title, responsibility, or salary level as well as required relocation outside of 50 miles from the Company’s
current headquarters location.



16







A “change in control” as defined
in the change in control agreements is deemed to occur if (a) the Company consummates a sale, transfer, assignment, exchange, or
other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (b) there is a sale, transfer, assignment, exchange,
or other conveyance resulting in any third party’s acquisition of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company,
or a merger or consolidation occurs which results in a third party’s ownership of more than 50% of the merged or consolidated
entity.



The table below reflects the amount of compensation
payable to each of the Company’s named executive officers in the event of a termination as defined above. For illustrative
purposes, the tables assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2015. The stock price used was the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock on December 31, 2015, or $6.42 per share.

Compensation of
Directors – FY 2015



The Board uses a combination of cash and stock-based
incentives to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve as directors. In determining director compensation, the Board considers
the significant amount of time required of our directors in fulfilling their duties, as well as the skill and expertise of our
directors. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews director compensation with the assistance of our independent compensation
consultant and recommends to the Board the form and amount of compensation to be provided.



The annual retainer fee for directors is $25,000
plus additional fees for participation on committees of the Board as follows: $6,500 for the Lead Director, Compensation Committee
Chairperson, and Nominating Committee Chairperson, $10,000 for the Audit Committee Chairperson, and $5,000 for Audit, Compensation,
Nominating and Executive Committee members. Fees are paid quarterly. Directors also receive reimbursement of expenses incurred
in attending meetings. Non-employee directors may elect to have a portion or all of their annual fees paid in shares of stock having
a value equivalent to the cash amount at the end of the fiscal quarter. One director, Ms. McAvoy, has elected to receive stock
for a portion of her compensation in lieu of cash. All of the other non-employee directors elected to have all FY 2015 annual fees
paid in cash.



17

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE



Certain Relationships and Related Transactions



The Company does not have a formal written policy
regarding the review of related party transactions. However, the Board reviews all relationships and transactions in which the
Company and its directors and senior executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether
such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. The Company’s senior management is primarily responsible for the
development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and senior executive officers
with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether the company
or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. As required under SEC rules, transactions, if
any, that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to the company or a related person are disclosed in the company’s
proxy statement. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies any related person transaction that is required
to be disclosed.  Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review
may not participate in the deliberations or vote respecting approval or ratification of the transaction, provided, however, that
such director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Committee that considers the transaction.



Mr. Ryan, a Director of the Company, is
principal partner of The Ryan Law Group. The Ryan Law Group provided legal services to the Company in FY 2015 and will continue
to provide such services in FY 2016. For services performed in FY 2015, The Ryan Law Group invoiced the Company legal fees in the
amount of approximately $429,000.



Independent Directors



For identification of each director determined
to be independent, see “Director Independence” under Item 10 “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate
Governance.”



ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES



The Audit Committee Charter contains procedures
for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) to ensure that all audit and permitted
non-audit services to be provided to the Company have been pre-approved by the Committee. Specifically, the Committee pre-approves
the use of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for specific audit and non-audit services, except that pre-approval
of non-audit services is not required if the “de minimis” provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act
are satisfied. If a proposed service has not been pre-approved pursuant to the Pre-Approval Policy, then it must be specifically
pre-approved by the Committee before it may be provided by the independent registered accounting firm. For additional information
concerning the Committee and its activities with the independent registered accounting firm, see “Corporate Governance —
Audit Committee” and “Report of the Audit Committee” in this proxy statement.

During FY 2014 and FY 2015, the Company’s
independent registered accounting firm was Grant Thornton LLP, who provided services to the Company in the following categories
and amounts:



|Audit and Other Fees |  | FY 2015  ($) |         |  | FY 2014  ($) |  
|-------------------- |  | ------------ | ------- |  | ------------ | -
|                     |  |              |         |  |              |  
|Audit Fees           |  | $            | 895,259 |  |              | $
|Audit-Related Fees   |  |              | —       |  |              |  
|Tax Fees             |  |              | —       |  |              |  
|All Other Fees       |  |              | —       |  |              |  



“Audit Fees” consist of fees for
professional services associated with the annual consolidated financial statements audit, review of the interim consolidated financial
statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and regulatory filings. Audit fees also include fees
for professional services rendered for the audits of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over
financial reporting and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The Audit Committee reviews each non audit service to be provided and assesses
the impact of the service on the independent registered public accountant’s independence. There were no Audit-Related Fees
for FY 2014 or FY 2015.
