cancellation of any bonus or other incentive compensation, including equity-based compensation, where all of the following factors are present: (i)&nbsp;the award was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were
subsequently the subject of a material restatement, (ii)&nbsp;in the Board&#146;s view, you engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that was a significant contributing cause to the need for the restatement, and (ii)&nbsp;a lower award would have been
made to you based upon the restated financial results. In each such instance, the Company will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board, seek to recover your bonus award or other incentive
compensation paid or issued to you in excess of the amount that would have been paid or issued based on the restated financial results. </P>
