In order to have earned the Annual Bonus for a particular calendar year, the Executive must remain employed through the end of that calendar year and must not (a) have been, as of the date of payment or settlement, terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or (b) as of the date of payment or settlement, have ended Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason (as defined below), to be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus.
