Clawback Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any incentive-based compensation, or any other compensation, paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy

Clawback Provisions. The gross amount of all payments actually or constructively received by a Participant under the Plan will be subject to recoupment by [[Unknown Identifier]] to the extent required to comply with applicable laws, the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of the Company’s common stock (or any other [[Unknown Identifier]] security) are then listed, quoted, or traded, or any [[Unknown Identifier]] policy providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation.

Clawback Provisions. In all appropriate cases described in this Section 9, the following remedies shall be available to the Board and the Committee to the extent permitted by applicable law (the “Remedies”) with respect to the Participant, provided that as of the Award Date or at the time of such actions or inactions, the Participant is an officer of the Company: # the Board or Committee may require reimbursement of any compensation paid to the Participant under the Award or these Award Terms (including through the return of a number of shares of Stock issued under these Award Terms or the value of such shares as well as the return of any cash amounts paid in respect of dividend equivalents under these Award Terms, without regard to whether the Participant continues to own or control such previously delivered shares of Stock and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Participant shall bear all costs of issuance or transfer, including any transfer taxes that may be payable in connection with any transfer), # the Board or Committee may cause the cancellation of these Award Terms or any other then outstanding equity award held by such Participant, # the Board or Committee may seek reimbursement of any gains realized on the Stock attributable to these Award Terms or any other equity compensation award granted by the Company to the Participant, and # the Company may dismiss the Participant, authorize legal action, or take such other action to enforce the Participant’s obligations to the Company as it may deem appropriate in view of all the facts surrounding the particular case. The Board and the Committee will not seek to recover Stock or other compensation as detailed above paid or settled more than three years prior to the date the applicable restatement or egregious conduct is disclosed, as applicable. The Board or Committee may in its discretion forego any Remedies if the aggregate direct costs of seeking recovery from the Participant are expected to exceed the amount sought to be recovered or, in the case of egregious misconduct, if it otherwise determines appropriate in its sole discretion.

Clawback Provisions. If the Participant is an officer of the Company (“Officer”) and the Board, or an appropriate committee thereof, has determined that any fraud, negligence, or intentional misconduct by the Officer was a significant contributing factor to the Company having to restate all or a portion of its financial statement(s), the Board or committee shall take, in its discretion, such action as it deems necessary to remedy the misconduct and prevent its recurrence. In determining what remedies to pursue, the Board or committee will take into account all relevant factors, including whether the restatement was the result of fraud, negligence, or intentional misconduct. The Board will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in all appropriate cases, require reimbursement of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to the Officer, cause the cancellation of restricted or deferred stock awards and outstanding stock options, and seek reimbursement of any gains realized on the exercise of stock options attributable to such awards, if and to the extent that # the amount of incentive compensation was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently reduced due to a restatement, # the Officer engaged in any fraud or misconduct that caused or contributed to the need for the restatement, and # the amount of the bonus or incentive compensation that would have been awarded to the Officer had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded. In addition, the Board may dismiss the Officer, authorize legal action, or take such other action to enforce the Officer’s obligations to the Company as it may deem appropriate in view of all the facts surrounding the particular case. The Company will not seek to recover bonuses or other compensation as detailed above paid more than three years prior to the date the applicable restatement is disclosed.

Clawback. This Award shall be subject to the clawback provision of [Section 16(n)] of the Plan and this paragraph. The Company may in its sole discretion and as allowed by law recoup amounts paid to the Executive under this Award Agreement in the event of # a financial restatement of the Company's previously issued financial statements as a result of errors, omission, fraud, or noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, or # any conduct by Executive, or concerning which Executive has direct knowledge and fails to timely take action to address, that is materially adverse to the Company (such conduct to include conduct that in the reasonable opinion of the Company: # warrants or could warrant the Executive’s dismissal; or # is a violation of the Company’s Guiding Principles, or any law, regulation or listing standard (collectively, “Violation”), whether or not such Violation results in criminal prosecution or sanctions against Executive or the Company, and whether or not the Company learns of such Violation before or after the Executive’s termination of employment). In such circumstances, the Committee shall review the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement or Violation. After this review, if it is determined that an Award amount was based on the achievement of certain financial results that were the subject of a restatement, or that the Violation subjected the Company to financial, reputational or other harm, the Committee may, in its discretion, require the Executive to reimburse the Company for all or a portion of any Award actually paid to the Executive or, if such Award has been deferred into the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, forfeit the Award so deferred. In each such instance, the Company may forfeit (to the extent deferred) or seek to recover (to the extent paid) the amount by which the Executive's Award amount exceeded the lower amount, if any, that would have been made based on the restated financial results or the amount that, in the Company’s sole discretion, the Company was harmed by such Violation. However, if the clawback arises from a material restatement of our financial results, the Company will not seek such recovery where the payment to Executive occurred more than three years prior to the date the Company is required to prepare the applicable restatement. If the clawback relates to knowledge of materially adverse conduct, there is no time limit on recovery. The Company will determine, in its sole discretion (but subject to the direction of the Committee), the method for obtaining reimbursement from the Executive. The Company may forfeit and/or recoup amounts paid in respect of an Award regardless of whether the Executive is still employed by the Company or an affiliate on the date forfeiture and/or reimbursement is required. Forfeiture of or recoupment of amounts paid in respect of an Award does not limit any other remedies that the Company may have.
