The participants in the Plans include the following executive officers of the Company:

Mr. Ben-Natan is a participant in the Cable Access Plan, which includes all of the elements of the Corporate Plan, other than Video SaaS bookings, and includes certain strategic objectives.
With respect to the second half of fiscal 2019, the Compensation Committee will establish second-half 2019 targets for each Plan component and any payouts for performance against such second-half targets will be made following the end of fiscal year 2019.
For all Plans, a minimum threshold must be exceeded before any bonus payments will be made with respect to any Plan component, and in the event any of the half-year target metrics are surpassed, a Plan participant may receive total bonus payments of up to a maximum of 200% of the portion of such participants half-year target bonus that is related to that metric.
