from zero up to an amount not to exceed 200% of each executive’s base salary.
Payments of bonus amounts may be made in cash, stock or a combination of both,
in the discretion of the Subcommittee. The determination of the amount of an
individual’s bonus and the method of payment of the bonus will be made by the
Subcommittee in its discretion.
