4.4.1 The amount, if any, of such a Pay for Performance shall be determined by the CEO of the Company, and is subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of CME Media Enterprises Ltd. The Company shall provide you with the opportunity to earn annual Pay for Performance. The amount of any such Pay For Performance shall be determined by the CEO of the Company and will be assessed on the basis of achievement of yearly personal deliverables, and the performance of the Company on a combined EBITDA basis in relation to the Budget. The personal deliverables shall be established annually together with the CEO as part of the budget process.

The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the expiration or termination, for any reason, of this agreement and shall be separately enforceable.
