(a) On January 1, 2015, Jomarc C. Marukot and the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2015 (the “Marukot Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Marukot shall serve as the Company’s CFO and Corporate Treasurer for a term commencing on January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2016 (the “Employment Term”). Pursuant to the Marukot Agreement, Mr. Marukot is entitled to: (i) an annual base salary of $190,000; (ii) annual bonus equal to 25% of his annual base salary if the Company achieves its budgeted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and share based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) per calendar year, which annual bonus may be increased to 30%, 35%, or more than 35% in the CEO’s discretion, of his annual base salary if the Company achieves 110%, 120%, or more than 120%, respectively, of its budgeted Adjusted EBITDA; (iii) change in control bonus of 25% of his annual base salary upon consummation of a change in control if he is still employed at the time; (iv) medical, dental, life insurance, and disability benefits; (v) four months’ portion of his annual base salary for termination due to death or disability; (vi) four months’ portion of his annual base salary, awards and benefit plans and, if he would have received it had he remained employed for four months after his actual termination date, the change in control bonus in the event of termination without cause by the Company; and (vii) twelve months annual base salary if terminated within the first twelve months of the Employment Term or the remaining annual base salary if terminated after twelve months of his employment due to a change in control. Mr. Marukot is also entitled to earn awards under equity or other plans or programs that the Company, in its discretion, determines to put into effect and to participate in compensation and benefit programs offered by the Company to its executive officers. The Marukot Agreement also provides for a non-competition provision for the Employment Term and for a period of twelve months after the termination of Mr. Marukot’s employment.

(b) On January 16, 2015, the Company granted Douglas J. Kramer, CEO and President, the right to acquire 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, determined based on the per share closing price on such date, or $0.325 per share, which options were immediately vested and exercisable at the time of grant (“Kramer Option”). The Kramer Option was granted as final replacement for 2,000,000 stock options granted on July 12, 2005 which expired July 12, 2013 (the “Prior Expired Options”). The Prior Expired Options were inadvertently extended to December 31, 2015, however, due to an eight year life limitation under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Equity Plan”), they were deemed canceled at the end of eight years. Moreover, the Equity Plan only permits the grant of a total of 2,000,000 stock options during any calendar year. Mr. Kramer had exceeded this limit during the 2014 year and as a result, the Company was only able to grant Mr. Kramer 1,150,000 stock options during the 2014 year as partial replacement for the 2,000,000 Prior Expired Options. The transaction was valued at $86,147, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed on the date of grant.

(c) On January 16, 2015, the Company granted an eight-year stock option to Michael T. Adams, CGO, EVP, and Corporate Secretary, for 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, determined based on the closing price on such date, or $0.325 per share (“Adams Option”). The Adams Option vests in three equal end of calendar year increments, subject to Mr. Adams meeting certain performance criteria, commencing on December 31, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017, or upon consummation of a change in control. Once vested, the stock options are immediately exercisable. The transaction was valued at $93,536, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and will be expensed over the requisite vesting period.

(d) On January 21, 2015, the Company borrowed $250,000 from the chairman of the board and majority stockholder as a condition precedent to entering into the Twelfth Amendment and entered into a promissory note (the “1/21/15 Kurtz Note”). Pursuant the 1/21/15 Kurtz Note, the Company agreed to pay 8% per annum on the principal balance of $250,000 and repay the principle balance on June 10, 2017. The 1/21/15 Kurtz Note is subordinated to the Loan Agreement and Enhanced Note. See also Item (e) below.

(f) On March 23, 2015, the Company granted an eight-year stock option to Harvey L. Schnitzer, COO, for 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, determined based on the closing price on such date, or $0.41 per share (“Schnitzer Option”). The Schnitzer Option vests in three equal end of calendar year increments, subject to Mr. Schnitzer meeting certain performance criteria, commencing on December 31, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017, or upon consummation of a change in control. Once vested, the stock options are immediately exercisable. The transaction was valued at $118,122, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and will be expensed over the requisite vesting period.

Kurtz, committed to provide the Company with funding to pay off the Enhanced Obligations, outstanding with respect to the subordinated secured promissory notes issued by the Company in favor of Enhanced Jobs and Enhanced Credit pursuant to the Enhanced Note, of which $2 million will be paid on or before April 30, 2016, under the Commitment Letter. As consideration for the Commitment, the Company granted Mr. Kurtz a fully vested and exercisable stock option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on on November 12, 2015, determined based on the per share closing price on such date, or $0.294 per share, for a term of eight (8) years. The transaction was valued at approximately $47,121, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and fully expensed on the date of grant. Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Commitment will be superseded and become null and void in the event and to the extent that, at or before the time the Commitment is due, the Obligations are repaid in full in immediately available cash on or prior to August 31, 2016.
