Appendix A

CLAWBACK POLICY FOR RESTATEMENTS

In the event that DPW Holdings, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (including its subsidiaries, the “Corporation”) is required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to prepare an accounting restatement to correct an accounting error on an interim or annual financial statement included in a report on Form l0-Q or 10-K, due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal security laws, the Board shall determine whether the restatement was caused by the knowing misconduct of the CEO, CFO or other Section 16 Officer:

(a)

If the Board determines that knowing misconduct by any member of the Board, the CEO, the CFO or any other Section 16 officer has occurred and caused such restatement, it shall take the steps necessary to secure reimbursement from his/her:

(i)

any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by the responsible officer or director from the Corporation during the 9-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever occurs first) of the financial document embodying such error; and

(ii)

any net profits realized by the responsible officer or director from the sale of DPW securities during that 9-month period; and

(b)

If the Board determines that the restatement was due to something other than misconduct, then the Board must recoup any excess incentive- or performance-bascd compensation paid to executive officers based on overstated performance of the Corporation in order to ensure proper alignment of compensation with actual performance and long-term value creation. The Board's determination and bases therefor must be recorded in the Board resolutions or minutes;

(c)

The Board shall disclose in the Corporation's proxy statement the results of its investigation into the reasons for the restatement and the amount of incentive compensation recouped, if any, on the basis of the investigation;

(d)

This provision does not purport to limit Section 304 of the Sarbancs-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX”) in any way, but any monies recovered under this provision shall be deemed by the Corporation to have been recovered under Section 304 of SOX; and

(e)

All current employment agreements and contracts relating to compensation of the Corporation's officers and directors shall be modified to reflect this policy.
