Clawback Rights. The Annual Bonus and any and all stock based compensation (such as options and equity awards) (collectively, the “Clawback Benefits”) shall be subject to “Clawback Rights” as follows. During the period that the Executive is employed by the Company and for a period of three (3) years following the Employment Period, if there is a restatement by the Company of any financial results on the basis of which any Clawback Benefits to the Executive have been determined, the Executive shall repay to the Company the amount by which the amount of Clawback Benefits paid exceeded the amount to which Executive would have been entitled, based on the Company’s restated financial information. The calculation of the revised Clawback Benefits amount shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith and in accordance with applicable law. All determinations by the Compensation Committee with respect to the Clawback Rights shall be final and binding on the Company and the Executive. The Clawback Rights shall terminate following a Change of Control as defined in Section 11(f). For purposes of this Section 7, a restatement of financial results that requires a repayment of a portion of the Clawback Benefits amounts shall mean a restatement resulting from material non-compliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws and shall not include a restatement of financial results resulting from subsequent changes in accounting pronouncements or requirements which were not in effect on the date the financial statements were originally prepared (“Restatements”). The parties acknowledge it is their intention that the foregoing Clawback Rights as relates to Restatements conform in all respects to such regulations as may be promulgated pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) relating to recovery of “incentive-based” compensation. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time to assure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act and such rules and regulations as hereafter may be adopted and in effect.

Clawback. In the event of the Company’s material restatement of its financial results the Participant shall repay the entire Cash Bonus, or forfeit such if not already paid, whether vested or unvested, to the extent the restatement is caused or substantially caused by the fraud or intentional misconduct of the Participant. In the event such material restatement is not caused or substantially caused by the fraud or intentional misconduct of the Participant, the participant shall repay, or forfeit if not already paid, whether vested or unvested, so much of the Cash Bonus that was or would have been earned and awarded based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement.

Clawback. In the event of Albany’s material restatement of its financial results, Employee shall repay the entire Retention Incentive, or forfeit such if not already paid, whether vested or unvested, to the extent the restatement is caused or substantially caused by fraud or intentional misconduct on the part of Employee.

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.

Clawback. For a period of six years after the Award Date, this Award shall be subject to the Valley National Bancorp Clawback Policy which is attached to and made part of this Award.

Clawback. Any RSUs You are granted hereunder and/or Shares You receive in settlement of such RSUs, in addition to all other Awards granted to You under the Plan and/or Shares or cash You receive in settlement of such Awards, shall be subject to recovery by the Company in the circumstances and manner provided in any Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy that may be adopted or implemented by the Company and in effect from time to time on or after the date hereof, and You shall effectuate any such recovery at such time and in such manner as the Company may specify. For purposes of this Certificate, the term “Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy” means and includes any policy of the type contemplated by Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act, any rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted pursuant thereto, or any related rules or listing standards of any national securities exchange or national securities association applicable to the Company as well as any other clawback or recoupment policy that the Company may adopt or implement.

Clawback. This Agreement, and any amounts received hereunder, shall be subject to recovery or other penalties pursuant to # any Company clawback policy, as may be adopted or amended from time to time, or # any applicable law, rule or regulation or applicable stock exchange rule, including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any NYSE Listing Rule adopted pursuant thereto.

Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to compliance with Section 409A, as applicable), any compensation paid to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company that is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement will be subject to such deduction and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company to the extent that it implements the requirements of any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

Clawback. This award and any resulting settlement of this award in Shares is subject to set-off, recoupment, or other recovery or “clawback” policy as required by applicable law, including any national exchange listing standards, or by any other future Company policy on the clawback of compensation for other reasons, as may be in place from time to time. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c) shall cease to apply following a Change in Control, except as otherwise required by applicable law, including any national exchange listing standards.

Clawback. The Award RSUs are subject to any written clawback policies that the Company, with the approval of the Board, may adopt. Any such policy may subject the Award RSUs to reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful conduct occur, including, but not limited to, an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations or other events or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy adopted to conform to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that the Company determines should apply to the Award RSUs.
