Annual Incentive Payment or Bonus.

Special or one-time awards (such as those associated with a new hire or promotion or relocation bonuses) shall not be taken into account when computing the Recent Annual Incentive Payment. During the Employment Period, the Executive's annual target incentive or bonus opportunity shall in no event be less favorable to the Executive than that provided by the Company to the Executive under its annual incentive or bonus plans during the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurred, provided that any special or one time awards (such as those associated with a new hire or promotion or relocation bonuses) shall not be taken into account. Each such Annual Incentive Payment shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year in respect of which the Annual Incentive Payment is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Incentive Payment.
