All Stock Bonus Awards shall be made pursuant to an Award Agreement.

 

(a)       Terms of Stock Bonus Awards. The Committee will determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the Participant under a Stock Bonus Award and any restrictions thereon.

However, the Committee may issue Stock Bonus Awards with no restrictions.

 

(b)       Form of Payment to Participant. Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares earned under a Stock Bonus Award on the date of payment, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
