In the case of performance-based equity incentives, the prorated portion will be paid only to the extent actually earned based on the performance objectives previously established by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Crabill will forfeit any unpaid incentive compensation if he terminates the consulting agreement for any reason (excluding termination due to death) before December 31, 2015 or Omega terminates the consulting agreement because he breaches the consulting agreement. Mr. Crabill will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation of customers and employees obligations through January 30, 2017.
