Incentive Compensation Recoupment. (a) To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may seek reimbursement of any payment made to Grantee in respect of the Award granted hereunder if (A) Grantee is currently or was previously designated as an “officer” by the Board for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such designation, “Officer”), and (B) Grantee, in the judgment of the Board, commits misconduct or a gross dereliction of duty that results in a material violation of Company policy and causes significant harm to the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) while serving in his capacity as an Officer. In such event, (x) if Grantee is a current Officer, the Board may seek reimbursement of all or a portion of any such payment made to Grantee during the one-year period preceding the date on which such misconduct or dereliction of duty was discovered by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries), or (y) if Grantee is a former Officer, the Board may seek reimbursement of all or a portion of any such payment made to Grantee during the one-year period preceding the last date on which Grantee was an Officer. (b) To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, if Grantee is an Officer, the Board may, in its sole discretion, seek reimbursement of any payment made to Grantee in respect of the Award granted hereunder in the event of a restatement of the Company’s (or any of its Subsidiaries’) financial results (occurring due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under applicable securities laws) that reduced a previously granted payment made to Grantee in respect of the Award granted hereunder. 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.
