                  The CIC Bonus for any  year shall be paid not later  than 30
            days after the  filing by the  Company of its  Form 10-K with  the
            Securities  and Exchange Commission for  such year, or  if the CIC
            bonus  is for a part of the year, not later than 60 days after the
            end  of the last month  taken into account  in determining whether
            the EBITAD target is met.
