has agreed to serve as our Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Saxon’s term of employment under this agreement continues until February 28, 2015,<br />

at which time the employment agreement will automatically renew for successive three-year terms, unless we or Mr. Saxon provide 90 days’<br />

written notice of an intention not to renew.<br />

In 2012, Mr. Saxon received an annual base salary in the amount of $600,000 and is entitled to a salary review each March during the<br />

term of his employment agreement. In March 2013, Mr. Saxon’s salary was increased to $700,000. Mr. Saxon is entitled to an annual profit<br />

bonus, equal to one percent (1%) of our “profit” for the fiscal year, provided that the annual profit is no less than 75% of the greater of our<br />

profit for the preceding calendar year or the base line profit for the year ended December 31, 2009. See “Compensation Discussion and<br />

Analysis – Executive Compensation – Bonus” for further details regarding the calculation of Mr. Saxon’s bonus. Pursuant to the March 22,<br />

The terms of Mr. Saxon’s employment agreement relating to termination in the event of disability, death, or at any time for cause, and the<br />

time the employment agreement will automatically renew for successive three-year terms, unless we or Mr. Longo provide 90 days’ written<br />

notice of an intention not to renew.<br />

In 2012, Mr. Longo received an annual base salary in the amount of $500,000 and is entitled to an annual salary review each March<br />

during the term of his employment agreement. In March 2013, Mr. Longo’s salary was increased to $600,000. Mr. Longo is entitled to an<br />

annual profit bonus that is calculated the same as Mr. Saxon’s annual bonus, including the change as a result of the March 22, 2013<br />

The terms of Mr. Longo’s employment agreement relating to termination in the event of disability, death, or at any time for cause, and the<br />

confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicit provisions in the employment agreement, are identical to those contained in Mr. Pipoly’s and<br />
