Clawback Rights.

If the Board (or a committee thereof to which such matter has been delegated) proposes to impose such a clawback with respect to any of the Executive's compensation, then the Executive shall be entitled to be present and represented by his own legal counsel at any meeting of the Board (or of such committee) at which such proposed clawback is proposed to be acted upon. The Companies agree to pay the reasonable attorney's fees of the Executive's legal counsel # for representing the Executive at any such meeting of the Board (or of such committee) and # for representing the Executive in contesting, whether through judicial proceedings, arbitration, or otherwise, any clawback of any of the Executive's compensation that the Board (or such committee) has approved and imposed.
