1. Acquisition Awards
Amendment No. 3 to Second Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement provided for the Company’s grant of a fully vested award in the form of either: (i) restricted stock units (“RSUs”), (ii) restricted stock, or (iii) cash (each, “Acquisition Award”) to Northstrive on the consummation of any acquisition of (i) an entity, (ii) assets, or (iii) capital stock by the Company or any Subsidiary (as defined below). The amount of the Acquisition Award to Northstrive will be calculated based on the total purchase price of the consummated acquisition, regardless of whether or not such purchase price is paid in cash, stock, assumed debt, or other consideration (such purchase price, the “Acquisition Value”), and will be determined as follows:
| (i) | Acquisition Value from $0 to $5,000,000 – Northstrive is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 5% of the Acquisition Value; |
| (ii) | Acquisition Value over $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 – Northstrive is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 6% of the Acquisition Value; |
| (iii) | Acquisition Value over $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 – Northstrive is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 7% of the Acquisition Value; and |

In addition to the determinations of Acquisition Value set forth in Item 1.01(a)(1) of this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Compensation Committee”) may, in its sole discretion, determine to award Northstrive an additional 1% of the applicable percentage of the Acquisition Value if: (i) the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and/or Compensation Committee projects the applicable acquisition to be earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) or net income accretive within twelve (12) months of closing or (b) the Compensation Committee deems the applicable acquisition as an advancement to the Company’s long-term growth objectives, competitive positioning, and/or operational capabilities.
If Northstrive elects to receive its Acquisition Award in the form of RSUs or restricted stock, the number of RSUs (“RSU Award Amount”) or restricted stock granted shall equal (x) the dollar value of the Acquisition Award divided by (y) the trailing five (5) day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock ending on the trading day prior to the acquisition closing date (such RSU Award Amount rounded down to the nearest whole share). The RSUs or restricted stock granted to Northstrive will be fully vested and shall not be subject to any further service or performance conditions.
“Person” means an individual, a partnership, a limited liability company, a corporation, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization, any other entity, or a governmental entity.
