The aggregate value of the 2021 grant will be approximately $800,000, and the award will be in the same combination of types of equity awards, and in the same proportionate allocation, as the equity awards made to such other Company executives at that time; provided that (i) to be entitled to such grant, the Employee must have been continuously employed by the Company from the Amendment Effective Date until such date of grant, and (ii) such grant shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the annual equity grant that the Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive under the Company’s 2021 long-term equity grant program.”
