Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company policies that may be adopted and/or modified from time to time ("Clawback Policy"). In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Clawback Policy, as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including, without limitation, to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements).

Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, the Company may cancel any award, require reimbursement of any award by a participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company policies that may be adopted or modified from time to time (including, without limitation, to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements).

Clawback. In consideration for the grant of this Award, the Participant expressly agrees to be subject to # any applicable compensation, clawback, recoupment or similar policies of the Company or its Subsidiaries in effect from time to time, whether adopted before or after the Grant Date, and # such other clawback rules as may be required by applicable law ((i) and (ii) together, the “Clawback Provisions”). The Participant further acknowledges the Participant understands that the Clawback Provisions are not limited to amounts payable in connection with this Award.

Recoupment. Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to mandatory repayment by the Participant to the Company to the extent the Participant is, or in the future becomes, subject to # any Company “clawback,” recoupment or compensation recovery policy that is adopted to comply with the requirements of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or otherwise, or # any law, rule or regulation which imposes mandatory recoupment under circumstances set forth in such law, rule or regulation.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award granted under the Plan (including any amounts or benefits arising from such Award) shall be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Policy Regarding the Recovery of Compensation, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Policy”). By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant agrees and consents to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of # the Policy or any similar policy established by the Company that may apply to the Participant and # any provision of applicable law relating to cancellation, rescission, payback or recoupment of compensation, and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the Policy, any similar policy (as applicable to the Participant) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by the Participant. The Company’s rights under the Policy shall be in addition to, and not in substitution of, the Company’s rights under the Plan or otherwise and, in all events, the terms of the Policy shall prevail to the extent that the terms of the Policy conflict with the Plan or any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement.
