The Compensation Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the method or methods for recouping any Overpayment hereunder which may include, without limitation: • requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive-Based Compensation previously paid; • seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards granted as Incentive-Based Compensation; • offsetting any or all of the Overpayment from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered Executive; • cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and/or • taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Compensation Committee. LIMITATION ON RECOVERY; NO ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS The right to recovery will be limited to Overpayments received during the three (3) completed fiscal years prior to the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three (3) completed fiscal years. In no event shall the Company be required to award Covered Executives an additional payment if the restated or accurate financial results would have resulted in a higher Incentive-Based Compensation payment. NO INDEMNIFICATION The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any incorrectly awarded Incentive-Based Compensation.
