Provided that for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 that no more than 0.15% of Pre-Tax Income for the year shall be paid to Mr. Romanowski under this bonus plan.

"Pre-Tax Income" shall mean income before income taxes, as publicly reported by the Company in its quarterly or annual financial statements, as applicable, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements shall mean the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

At the end of each semi-annual performance period, the Committee may review the level of performance achieved under the Annual Performance Bonus and, if an amount has been earned for that semi-annual performance period, determine whether to (i) currently pay all, part or none of the amount earned for that performance period, or (ii) defer to the end of the fiscal year paying all, part or none of the amount earned for the applicable performance period; provided that, any earned amounts and interim payments made are subject to the above maximum limits. The above maximum limits for the above performance periods are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 4 of the 2018 Plan.

Consistent with the 2018 Plan, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to pay any bonus hereunder in cash or equity or a combination of both. The setting of this performance award shall not be deemed to be a current equity award.

At the end of the 2022 fiscal year, the Committee may use its sole discretion to adjust downward, in part or in whole, the Annual Performance Bonus based on performance of the Company, including based on total annual Pre-Tax Income, and performance of the participant.

Any equity awards would be awarded under the terms, conditions and individual limits of the 2006 Equity Plan. The equity award may take the form to be designated by the Compensation Committee. At the end of the fiscal year, the Committee reserves the right to adjust the number of equity shares downward in order to comply with the applicable individual limits in the 2018 Plan or the 2006 Equity Plan, as applicable.

EquityAt a future meeting, the Compensation Committee will review awarding performance restricted stock units and time-based equity awards commensurate with and applicable to the EVP and COO position.
