On November 24, 2014, Aspen Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into three-year Employment Agreements with Janet Gill, the Company’s Executive Vice President and interim Chief Financial Officer and Gerard Wendolowski, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer as described below.


In accordance with her Employment Agreement, Ms. Gill will receive a base salary of $200,000 and was granted 300,000 stock options exercisable at $0.234 per share which vest in three equal increments over a three year period with the first vesting date being November 24, 2015. Ms. Gill will also be entitled to a cash and equity bonus (“Target Bonus”) if certain EBITDA milestones are met. The cash portion of the Target Bonus will only be earned if the Company has a certain cash balance to pay the Target Bonus.


In accordance with his Employment Agreement, Mr. Wendolowski will receive a base salary of $200,000. Mr. Wendolowski will also be entitled to the Target Bonus.


Also on November 24, 2014, the Company amended the Employment Agreements of Mr. Michael Mathews, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Cheri St. Arnauld, the Company’s Chief Academic Officer, to provide them with the right to receive the Target Bonus. In the event that the cash balance threshold under the Target Bonus is not met, Mr. Mathews will be issued stock in lieu of a cash bonus. With the exception of Mr. Mathews being entitled to stock in lieu of cash as described in the preceding sentence, the Target Bonus for each of the executives is identical.


Each of the executive officers may receive a discretionary bonus at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee.
