in a manner that would have materially reduced the size of the Award at the time
of payment.

other misconduct on the part of Employee, the Company may recover any material
portion of incentive awards or payments based upon the misrepresentation of
financial information or misconduct from those employees responsible.

state tax treatment will apply or be available to Employee in connection with
the Award.
