Recoupment in Event of Materially Inaccurate Financial Results. If the Company has publicly filed inaccurate financial results (the "Subject Financials"), whether or not they result in a restatement, the Company may recover any Incentive Compensation (a) that was paid or settled to the Participant during the period covered by the Subject Financials as set forth herein, or (b) as otherwise may be required by any applicable Laws or listing standard adopted by the New York Stock Exchange. If the payment or settlement of Incentive Compensation would have been lower had the achievement of applicable financial performance goals been calculated based on restated financial results with respect to the Subject Financials, the Company may, if it determines it appropriate in its sole discretion, recover the portion of the paid or settled Incentive Compensation in excess of the payment or settlement that would have been made based on restated financial results or as otherwise may be required by any applicable Laws or listing standard adopted by the New York Stock Exchange. The Company will not seek to recover Incentive Compensation received or settled more than three (3) years after the date of the initial filing that contained the Subject Financials or any longer period as may be required by any applicable Law or listing standard adopted by the New York Stock Exchange.
