Cash
Compensation.
(a) Salary. For all services
rendered and to be rendered hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to
the Executive, and the Executive agrees to accept a salary of
$165,000 per annum (“Base Salary”). Any such
salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practice and shall be subject to such deductions or
withholdings as the Company is required to make pursuant to law, or
by further agreement with the Executive. The Base Salary shall be
reviewed annually by the Board or Compensation Committee of the
Board during the first fiscal quarter for increase (but not
decrease, except as permitted under Section 8(c)(ii) below) as part
of its annual compensation review (which review shall include
compensation under Sections 4(b) and 6 below), and any increased
amount shall become the Base Salary under this
Agreement.

(b) Bonus. During the Term, the
Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonus compensation in
an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Base Salary upon the
achievement of reasonable target objectives and performance goals
both of the Company and the Executive as may be determined by the
Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board in consultation
with the Executive. Such target objectives and performance goals
are to be established on or before the end of the first quarter of
the fiscal year to which the bonus relates (the “Bonus Plan”) and the
Executive must continue to be an employee of the Company on the
bonus payment date determined under the Bonus Plan in order to
receive any payment under the Bonus Plan; provided, however, such bonus
payment date shall be no later than fifteen days after the filing
of the Company’s Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.”
