In that event, the Board will seek to recover the amount of any such payment made to Grantee that exceeded the amount that would have been paid based on the restated financial results. (c) If the Company subsequently determines that it is required by law to apply a “clawback” or alternate recoupment provision to the Award granted hereunder, under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or recoupment provision also shall apply to such Award, as if it had been included on the effective date of this Agreement.
