Employment agreements for Stephen G. Berman, our President
and Chief Executive Officer, and for John L. Kimble, our Chief Financial Officer, provide, inter alia, that for fiscal year 2026, their
respective Annual Performance Bonuses (as such terms are defined in their respective employment agreements) will depend on our achieving
certain performance criteria. The specific performance criteria are to be determined by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation
Committee”) of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) before the end of the Company’s first fiscal quarter. The
performance criteria for Messrs. Berman and Kimble’s respective 2026 Annual Performance Bonuses have been established by the Compensation
Committee and are set forth below.
EBITDA (as defined in the respective employment agreements)
is calculated before including Bonuses as an expense and one-time non-recurring costs for initiatives approved by the Board. The performance
criteria, bonus targets and bonus percentages may be adjusted in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee to take account of
extraordinary or special items, and the Compensation Committee also specifically reserved the right to modify the performance criteria,
bonus targets and bonus percentages in the exercise of its negative discretion to take account of investment banking, accounting and legal
fees incurred in connection with any strategic transactions and unforeseen market and general economic conditions.
To the extent that EBITDA exceeds the minimum EBITDA target
amount but falls between two EBITDA target amounts, the amount of the Additional Performance Bonus shall be determined by the Compensation
Committee through linear interpolation.
