eligible employees of the Company. The 2013 Bonus Plan establishes an aggregate target bonus amount for fiscal year 2012 of $4.2
million (the &ldquo;Aggregate Target Bonus&rdquo;). Pursuant to the 2013 Bonus Plan, the Company will accrue an aggregate bonus
amount only if the Company&rsquo;s fiscal 2013 EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales (excluding the bonus accrual) (&ldquo;EBITDA
Margin&rdquo;) exceeds 18.5%.&nbsp;&nbsp;The actual aggregate bonus amount will be based on the amount by which&nbsp; the Company&rsquo;s
fiscal 2013 EBITDA (excluding the bonus accrual) exceeds the EBITDA (excluding the bonus accrual) that would have resulted if EBITDA
Margin at such level of sales were equal to 18.5% (the &ldquo;Excess Amount&rdquo;).&nbsp;Under the 2013 Bonus Plan,&nbsp;the following
amounts will be accrued to the aggregate bonus amount: (i) 40% of the&nbsp;Excess Amount up to a maximum&nbsp;accrual equal to
the Aggregate Target Bonus&nbsp;plus&nbsp;(ii) 20% of the&nbsp;Excess Amount above the Aggregate Target Bonus.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The actual aggregate bonus amount accrued by the Company under
the 2013 Bonus Plan is then subject to adjustment by the Compensation Committee following the end of the Company&rsquo;s 2013 fiscal
year to determine the amount (if any) that will actually be paid. The Compensation Committee will determine the portion of an actual
accrued aggregate bonus amount that will be paid to the Company&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, and will determine, in consultation
with the Company&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, the amount that will be paid to the other named executive officers and other
eligible employees of the Company. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or
an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from EBITDA and EBITDA margin as a percentage
