At the discretion of the Board or a committee thereof, the Annual Bonus may be paid in the form of cash or equity securities, which equity securities may be subject to vesting restrictions provided that (i) any such vesting period may not exceed the 15-month period following the end of the fiscal year to which the Annual Bonus relates and (ii) the value of the equity securities awarded to the Executive in lieu of the Annual Bonus shall include a bonus premium equal to no less than 20% of the Annual Bonus.”
