Award Subject to Clawback or Recoupment contract clause examples

The RSUs and any shares of Common Stock received upon settlement of the RSUs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy adopted by the Company. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company. By accepting the Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by any such clawback policy, as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion.

The RSUs, whether vested or unvested, and/or the shares of Common Stock, cash, or other benefits acquired pursuant to the RSUs may be subject to recoupment under the Company’s recoupment and clawback policies, as applicable, including the policy for Recoupment of Compensation for Accounting Restatements, as they may be amended from time to time (whether such policies are adopted on or after the date of this Agreement), or as required under applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange listing standards (collectively, the “Recoupment Policy”). In order to satisfy any recoupment obligation arising under the Recoupment Policy, among other things, you expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third-party administrator engaged by the Company to hold any shares of Common Stock or other amounts acquired pursuant to the RSUs to reconvey, transfer, or otherwise return such shares of Common Stock and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the Recoupment Policy. No recovery of compensation as described in this section will be an event giving rise to your right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate, and/or the Employer.
