Any such Bonus to which the Executive is entitled under this Section shall be paid to him by the Company in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Company’s audited financial statements for such fiscal year and, in all events, by December 31 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which the Bonus applies.”
