After the Extension Period, this Agreement shall be renewable automatically for successive one-year periods (each such period being referred to as a “Renewal Term” and together with the Extension Period referred to as the “Term”), unless, at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Extension Period or any Renewal Term, either the Employee or the Employer gives written notice that employment will not be renewed (as the case may be, a “Notice of Non-Renewal”).

The actual EBITDA with respect to each Fiscal Year shall be calculated by the Company in the same manner as the budgeted EBITDA for such Fiscal Year and shall be communicated to the Employee in writing within 60 days following the end of such Fiscal Year.

 

b.              The Bonus, if any, for any Fiscal Year shall be paid within 90 days following the end of such Fiscal Year, provided that the Employee is employed by the Company on such date and subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) of the Employment Agreement.
