Summary of 2010 vRad Incentive Compensation Plan

For fiscal year 2010, vRad has adopted an incentive compensation plan, the material terms of which
are summarized as follows:

	 	•	 	The plan provides opportunities to earn incentive compensation to vRad’s executive
officers, directors, and managers.
	 
	 	•	 	The target bonus payment for each individual is tied to his or her position and
level, and may be subject to pro-ration based on the employee’s start date or in-year
promotion.
	 
	 	•	 	Payment of bonus amounts is determined by the funding of a bonus pool, and the
individual’s performance.

	 	•	 	Funding of the bonus pool is based on a scale tied to the
company’s Adjusted EBITDA performance. In determining performance relative to
the scale, the Board of Directors may exclude extraordinary events affecting
financial results (such as acquisitions) or may adjust the scale as it deems
appropriate in its discretion.
	 
	 	•	 	Individual performance is determined by the level achievement
of 3 or 4 personal performance objectives, as established by the employee’s
direct executive team leader, with the exception of the CEO. Incentive
compensation paid to the CEO is based on the company’s Adjusted EBITDA
performance.

To receive the bonus, an employee must be employed through the bonus payment date, which shall be
no later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year.Exhibit 10.2.6a
