"Because the Employee holds the high-level position of General Manager, China, the Parties agree that any retraining or reassignment before
termination would serve no useful function, and is therefore not required:
- Meeting the annual budget targets as set by the Director, International;
- Achieving sales benchmarks as set by the Director, International;
- Not making a loss for the year;
..."
The question is concerned about the beginning sentence. Does it mean the Employee should fulfill the following tasks, otherwise he will be fired, or that the Employee needn't do it? If it is the former case, what's the meaning of the concern of the "retraining" and "reassignment"?

It appears to mean that, because the employee is in a senior position, they are therefore seen to have a high level of skill and experience, and therefore retraining (receiving education about how to do another job, or another sort of job) or reassignment (placing them in a different position) would not assist them, and therefore need not be supplied before their position is terminated.
Thanks, dlowan.
But I still feel puzzled about the following statements after the colon.
What's the relation between the previous sentence and the following requirements?

The list of benchmarks does not appear to have anything to do with the sentence immediately proceeding. I suspect a formatting error.
Either than or this high-level employee does not have to meet certain requirements (that others have to) even if these things happen.
Certainly confusing. Are you sure you copied it correctly?
