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 = 40%, Company Dues Revenue Performance = 20% & Discretionary = 40%  
Company Adjusted EBITDA Minimum is satisfied  
Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance for 2017 = 100% Budget achievement 
Earned Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance component = $50,000 ($250,000 x 50% Participant Target Incentive x 40% Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance component percentage x 100% [for achieving 100% of Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance])
Company Dues Revenue Performance for 2017 = 100% Budget achievement 
Earned Company Dues Revenue Performance component = $25,000 ($250,000 x 50% Participant Target Incentive x 20% Company Dues Revenue Performance component percentage x 100% [for achieving 100% of Company Dues Revenue 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 2017.

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 2017 will be eligible for an Award based upon Actual Eligible Earnings for the Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance and Company Dues Revenue Performance for the full 2017 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 2017 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 for the Company Adjusted EBITDA Performance and Company Dues Revenue Performance for the full 2017 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 2017 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 2017 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.

(ii)

	
If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume control as contemplated in Section 8.4(b)(i), thereafter fails to defend such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

25

 

 

	
(iv)

(vii)

(a)

	
Except for a breach of Article 6, all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of, relating to, or in respect of this Agreement, including any issue regarding its existence, validity, enforceability, interpretation, breach or termination (each a "Dispute") shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

	
(b)

	
Any Dispute that Buyer, or Jericho are unable to amicably resolve or settle between themselves through negotiations between senior executives of the relevant Party within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period as the applicable parties may agree to in writing) of a party being provided notice of such Dispute or difference in accordance with Section 10.2 of this Agreement (the "Consultation Period") shall be referred to and finally determined by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be confidential and shall be settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the "Arbitrator").

	
(c)

	
The arbitration shall be determined by three arbitrators, with each of Buyer and Seller selecting one arbitrator, and such arbitrators selecting a third arbitrator.  The Arbitrators shall be impartial and independent of the Parties and shall be experienced and knowledgeable about the subject matter of the Dispute (generally and not as to the express facts concerning the Dispute). All proceedings shall be governed by the Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the U.S. Rules of Civil Procedure to the extent that such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 10.4.  If a deadlock occurs due to the lack of good faith on the part of either Party, the Parties must enter into arbitration governed by the American Arbitration Association.

	
(d)

	
The arbitration shall be seated in the City of Canton, Ohio and the arbitration agreement set forth in this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nevada. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

	
(e)

	
It is specifically acknowledged and agreed that any Dispute that cannot be resolved between the disputing Parties prior the expiry of the Consultation Period shall be submitted to arbitration irrespective of the magnitude thereof or the amount in question.

	
(f)

	
The Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction: (i) to apply all applicable statutes, regulations, common law and equity; and (ii) to make an award or awards in respect of interest and the payment of the costs of the arbitration (including arbitrators' fees and the legal costs of the Parties). The Arbitrator also may, where requested by a Party, determine the nature and extent of production of documents and oral depositions.

	
(g)

	
The award of the Arbitrator shall be reduced to writing and be final and binding on the disputing Parties. Any monetary award shall be made and payable, free of any taxes or other deduction, and shall bear interest from the date of any breach or other violation of this Agreement to the date on which the award is paid, at a rate determined by the Arbitrator.

31

	
(h)

	
Judgment upon the award(s) rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered and execution had in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and order of enforcement.

	
(i)

	
The Party against whom judgment is rendered shall bear all legal fees of the disputing Parties and all other costs incurred in connection with an arbitration proceeding, including the expenses of the Arbitrator.

	
(j)

	
By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a legal court, the Arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, statutory remedies and to award damages for the failure of the disputing parties to respect the Arbitrator's orders to that effect.

	
(k)

	
Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or prohibit a Party from commencing arbitration at any time, including prior the expiry of a Consultation Period, in order to protect its rights under this Agreement or in relation to a dispute or disagreement.

	
(l)

	
Except where reasonably prevented by the nature of the Dispute, Buyer, and Jericho shall continue to perform their respective duties, obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents while the Dispute is being resolved in accordance with this Section 10.4, unless and until such obligations are lawfully terminated or expire in accordance with the provisions thereof.

	
(m)

	
All dispute resolution and arbitration proceedings (including all related information, communications, documents, materials, and evidence) shall be strictly confidential, and each party shall have a fiduciary obligation to the other parties to protect, preserve and maintain the integrity of such confidentiality.

10.5 Assignments, Successors and No Third-Party Rights.

 

The Sellers and Holders shall not assign any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign any of its rights, but not their obligations, under this Agreement without the consent of the Sellers or Holders to an affiliate of Buyer or to a purchaser of all of the Assets or outstanding securities of Buyer. If Buyer shall experience a change of control, or if it shall sell to a purchaser substantially all of its Assets or greater than fifty-percent (50%) of its equity, such purchaser shall consent to all terms in this Agreement, specifically the issuance of the shares representing the Purchase Price. Subject to the preceding three sentences, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and enure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Person other than the Parties hereto has any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

 

10.6 Enurement.

 

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by .pdf attachment to a transmission by electronic mail or by facsimile transmission shall each be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart hereof.
