General Structure. The Bonus Plan provides for funding and payout of cash bonus awards based on quarterly and annual performance during 2020. The funding of the Bonus Plan for each bonus period is based on the Company’s performance under certain metrics set by the Committee for each quarter and for the year. Payouts under the Bonus Plan would occur following a review of the Company’s audited financial results for each quarter and for the year and the executive officers’ individual performance results at the end of each quarter and the year.

Funding Target Levels and Performance Metrics. The total funding possible under the Bonus Plan is based on a cash value (the “Target Bonus Fund”) determined by the executive officers’ target bonus levels. Target bonus levels for the Company’s executive officers vary by officer, but are generally set between 50% and 100% of annual base salary. The aggregate amount of these target bonuses is the basis for the total potential funding of the Bonus Plan. The quarterly and annual funding of the Bonus Plan is based on achievement of the following Company performance metrics for the applicable quarter and full year 2020, respectively: GAAP revenue (weighted 50%), operating expenses (weighted 30%) and direct gross margin (weighted 20%). For each quarterly period and for the annual period of the Bonus Plan, “threshold,” “target” and “superior” performance levels are set for each performance metric based on the Company’s operating plan, which performance levels are intended to capture the relative difficulty of achievement of that metric.

Funding Calculation. For each of the four quarterly periods of the Bonus Plan, the Bonus Plan allocates 12.5% of the total Target Bonus Fund. For the annual period of the Bonus Plan, the Bonus Plan allocates 50% of the total Target Bonus Fund. Funding is based on the weighted average achievement of the performance metrics that achieve at least the “threshold” performance level for a given Bonus Plan period. If the Company does not achieve at least a 50% weighted average achievement level of the performance metrics described above for a given Bonus Plan period (“funding threshold level”), no funding would occur under the Bonus Plan for such period. If the Company achieves the funding threshold level, 50% funding would occur. For a

Payouts. Payouts for each quarterly and annual period of the Bonus Plan would be made from the aggregate funded amount at the discretion of the Committee based on Company and individual performances. Individual performance could range from 0% to 200% of an individual’s funded amount for the period based on the achievement of individual performance metrics, but should not exceed the overall bonus funding level.
