Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company's bonus plan (including an equity bonus plan) if and to the extent such bonus plan is put into place, and on such terms and conditions and for such amounts as the CEO (subject to the Board of Directors' direction or a Compensation Committee thereof, if applicable; or the delegation of such authority to the CEO by the Board of Directors or a Compensation Committee thereof) may determine from time to time. The Company maintains sole discretion to create, modify or terminate a bonus plan.

i. | 30% of the Performance Bonus for obtaining the annual revenue projections as approved by the CEO at previous calendar year end. |

This bonus shall be deemed to be earned upon the Company (or an affiliate of the Company), successfully becoming a public company having a United States trading market with a public float as measured by either: (i) the completion of a reverse merger with a public company having an United States trading market, or (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering. The Benchmark Bonus shall be paid to Executive no later than March 14th of the year following the calendar year in which the Benchmark Bonus is earned by virtue of the Company becoming a U.S. public company. |
i. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the public float of the public company having a United States trading market referenced in this Section 2.2(C) is less than $50,000,000 at the time a Benchmark Bonus is otherwise earned, then, subject to Section 2.2(C)(ii), the Benchmark Bonus shall be earned and payable only as to the Prorated Portion of the Benchmark Bonus, with the full balance of the Benchmark Bonus being earned and payable upon the earlier of: the completion of a secondary offering by the public company, or the successful list of a class of the public company's capital stock on a NASDAQ marketplace, the New York Stock Exchange, or another recognized national exchange. The "Prorated Portion" of a Benchmark Bonus shall mean $2,500,000, multiplied by the following quotient: (A) the amount of the public float at the time the Benchmark Bonus is awarded, divided by (B) $50,000,000; plus Applicable Tax Gross-Up. For purposes of this Section 2.2(C), "public float" shall be calculated by multiplying the number of common shares held by non-affiliates by the closing price (or average of bid and ask prices) of the common equity, averaged over the ten trading days preceding the payment date. |
3 |
ii. | Payments pursuant to Section 2.2(C) will be delayed if it is determined by the Company that the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, provided that payment will be made upon the earliest date that the making of the payment would not have such effect. |

A. | Inducement Option. The Executive shall be eligible for participation in the Company's equity incentive or stock option plan, upon adoption of such a plan, and may be awarded grants of stock options as approved by the Board of Directors or a Compensation Committee thereof, upon recommendation of the CEO. Any stock option award shall be issued pursuant to a separate award agreement. |
B. | Termination of RSU Agreement. The RSU Agreement is hereby terminated in its entirety and of no further force or effect. The parties shall have no rights or obligations thereunder. |
