[CBFF] David Haugh: Well, said

[mom2iancal]

But if they waived him, in effect "fired" him, are they entitled to get that 
back?   If this good behavior thing was in the contract when he got the 
signing bonus, then I could see it.  But if it wasn't, can they really go 
after it when they fired him as opposed to him quitting?
