Clawback/Recoupment (a) The Committee may, to the extent permitted by governing law, require reimbursement of any payment of Shares received in settlement of this Award if the Award Recipient is an employee of pay grade 22 or higher as of the Grant Date where: (i) the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which restatement occurs no more than three years from the date of settlement of this Award, where the Committee reasonably determines that any employee engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement, and a lower payment would have been made to the Award Recipient based upon the restated financial results; provided, however, that the Committee reserves the discretion to determine that any Award Recipient shall not be subject to this provision; or (ii) the Award Recipient engaged in ethical misconduct in violation of the Company’s Code of Business Ethics, which the Committee reasonably determines caused material business or reputational harm to the Company. (b) If the Committee reasonably determines that any payment of Shares received in settlement of this Award should be reimbursed under subsections (a)(i) or (a)(ii), then the following shall apply: (i) in the event reimbursement is required under subsection (a)(i), the Award Recipient shall be required to reimburse the Company in an amount equal to the dollar value of the Common Stock the Award Recipient received in excess of what the Award Recipient would have received on such date had the payment been based upon such restated financial results; or (ii) in the event reimbursement is required under subsection (a)(ii), the Award Recipient shall be required to promptly reimburse the Company in an amount the Committee reasonably determines to be appropriate, which could equal the full value of the Common Stock the Award Recipient received during such three-year period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any additional payment in the event that the restated financial results would have resulted in a greater number of Shares upon payment of the Award to the Award Recipient. (c) In the event the Award Recipient is obligated to reimburse the Company for amounts under subsections (b)(i) or (b)(ii), the Company may, at its sole election: (i) require the Award Recipient to pay the amount in a lump sum within 30 days of such determination; (ii) deduct the amount from any other compensation owed to the Award Recipient (as a condition to receiving the performance-based compensation under this Award, the Award Recipient agrees to permit the deduction provided for by this subsection); or (iii) a combination of subsections (c)(i) and (c)(ii). (d) By accepting this Award, the Award Recipient agrees that timely payment to the Company as set forth in this Section 7 is reasonable and necessary, and that timely payment to the Company as set forth in this Section 7 is not a penalty, and it does not preclude the Company from seeking all other remedies that may be available to the Company. The Award Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that the Award Recipient’s Performance Share Units shall be cancelled and forfeited without payment by the Company if the Committee reasonably determines that the Award Recipient has engaged in the conduct specified under subsection (a). (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, if this Award becomes subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, and/or Company policy, this Award shall be subject to such deductions, recoupment and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement and/or Company policy.
Recoupment DHA shall have the authority to suspend claims processing or seek recoupment of claims previously paid as specified under the provisions of the Federal Claims Collection Act (31 USC 3701 et seq.), the Federal Medical Care Recovery Act (42 USC 2651-2653), and 32 CFR 199.14. ARTICLE 14
Clawback/Forfeiture The Committee may in its sole discretion cancel this Award if the Awardee, without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate or after termination of such employment or service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, non-disclosure covenant or agreement or otherwise has engaged in or engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. If the Awardee otherwise has engaged in or engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Awardee will forfeit any compensation, gain or other value realized thereafter on the vesting or settlement of this Award, the sale or other transfer of this Award, or the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired in respect of this Award, and must promptly repay such amounts to the Company. If the Awardee receives any amount in excess of what the Awardee should have received under the terms of this Award for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), all as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, then the Awardee shall be required to promptly repay any such excess amount to the Company. To the extent required by applicable law (including without limitation Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and Section 954 of the Xxxx Xxxxx Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and/or the rules and regulations of NASDAQ or other securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, or if so required pursuant to a written policy adopted by the Company, this Award shall be subject (including on a retroactive basis) to clawback, forfeiture or similar requirements (and such requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Award and this Agreement). In the event that this Section 12 and/or such written policy is deemed to be unenforceable, then the award of Performance Shares shall be deemed to be unenforceable due to the lack of adequate consideration.
Set-off and Recoupment The cash, investment property, security, instrument or other financial assets credited to a Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, recoupment, banker’s lien, or other right in favor of a Person other than the Secured Party. However, the Financial Institution may set off (a) the customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collateral Account due to the Financial Institution, (b) the face amount of checks credited to the Collateral Account but subsequently returned unpaid due to uncollected or insufficient funds and (c) advances made to settle an investment of funds in the Collateral Account.
Vesting and Forfeiture Any Award which has become payable pursuant to the performance measures set forth in Section 4 shall be considered as fully earned by you, subject to the further provisions of this Section 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award will be forfeited back to Tyson in the event of: (i) your Termination of Employment before the Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.2 through 3.4, or (ii) the failure to satisfy any of the performance measures provided in Section 4.
Forfeiture Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to repurchase LTIP Units at a specified purchase price or some other forfeiture of any LTIP Units, then if the Partnership or the General Partner exercises such right to repurchase or forfeiture in accordance with the applicable Vesting Agreement, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with respect to a Partnership Record Date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any repurchase or forfeiture of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the LTIP Unitholder that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 5.01(g) hereof, calculated with respect to the LTIP Unitholder’s remaining LTIP Units, if any.
Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation (a) The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the Stock Option at any time if the Optionee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. (b) By accepting the Stock Option, the Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights, and those of any permitted transferee of the Stock Option, under the Stock Option, including to any Stock acquired under the Stock Option or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 8 of this Agreement.
Forfeiture Restrictions The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions, and in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason other than as provided in Section 2(b), the Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon termination of employment are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares.
Forfeiture of RSUs If you (a) breach any restrictive covenant (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any non-compete, non-solicit, non-disparagement or confidentiality provisions) contained in any arrangements with the Company (including your Employment Agreement and the confidentiality covenant contained in Section 10(c) hereof) to which you are subject or (b) engage in fraud or willful misconduct that contributes materially to any financial restatement or material loss to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, your rights with respect to the RSUs shall immediately terminate, and you shall be entitled to no further payments or benefits with respect thereto and, if the RSUs are vested and/or settled, the Company may require you to forfeit or remit to the Company any amount payable, or the after-tax net amount paid or received by you, in respect of any RSUs; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall make such demand that you forfeit or remit any such amount no later than six months after learning of the conduct described in this Section 4 and (ii) in cases where cure is possible, you shall first be provided a 15-day cure period to cease, and to cure, such conduct.
Vesting; Forfeiture (a) Subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Award shall vest at the time(s) set forth on the signature page hereto. The Administrator has authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award shall be deemed vested. (b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Employees and Consultants, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, then a pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award as of each applicable vesting date, determined as of the date of the Qualifying Termination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b), shall be deemed vested. The pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award that shall be deemed vested as of each applicable vesting date shall be determined by multiplying the total number of the unvested Shares subject to vesting on the applicable vesting date, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from the Date of Grant through the date of the Qualifying Termination, and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the applicable vesting date. The remaining unvested Shares subject to the Award shall be forfeited as of the date of the Qualifying Termination. (c) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Directors, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to death or Disability, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested effective as of the Participant’s Termination Date. (d) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, in the event of a Change of Control, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become vested as follows: (i) To the extent that the successor or surviving company in the Change of Control event does not assume or substitute for the Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Award) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Administrator) as Awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the Change of Control event, the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control. (ii) Further, in the event that the Award is substituted, assumed or continued as provided in Section 3(d)(i) herein, the Award will nonetheless become vested if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason within six months before (in which case vesting shall not occur until the effective date of the Change of Control) or one year after the effective date of a Change of Control (in which case vesting shall occur as of the Participant’s Termination Date). (e) If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated for any reason other than a Change of Control, a Qualifying Termination with respect to Employees and Consultants, or death or disability with respect to Directors as provided herein (including but not limited to a termination for Cause), the unvested portion of the Award shall immediately terminate and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award or the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Award.
