The &#8220;eligibility period&#8221; is defined as the period beginning on the effective date of the Transaction Bonus Agreements through the date that is six months after the closing of the spinoff transaction or, if the spinoff transaction is abandoned, through December 31, 2014.  The transaction bonus will also be earned if the executive&#8217;s employment is terminated without cause by the applicable employer before the end of the eligibility period and the executive otherwise satisfies the conditions specified in the Transaction Bonus Agreement.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The conditions to payment of the transaction bonus also will be deemed satisfied if a change in control, as defined in the applicable employer&#8217;s incentive stock plan, occurs with respect to the executive&#8217;s employer before the end of the eligibility period.  However, for certain executives, including the named executive officers, if the executive becomes entitled to benefits under the Company&#8217;s Executive Severance Pay Plan or any similar plan of the Performance Fibers Company as a result of a change in control that occurs during the eligibility period or the six months immediately thereafter, those benefits will be reduced by the amount of any transaction bonus earned.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The
