|   | c. | The      company will, to the full extent permitted by law, have the discretion      based on the particular facts and circumstances to require that each      participant reimburse the Company for all or any portion of any awards if      and to the extent the awards reflected the achievement of financial      results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, or the      achievement of other objectives that were subsequently found to be      inaccurately measured , and a lower award would have occurred based upon      the restated financial results or inaccurately measured      objectives.  The Company may, in its discretion, (i) seek      repayment from the participants; (ii) reduce the amount that would      otherwise be payable to the participants under current or future awards;      (iii) withhold future equity grants or salary increases; (iv) pursue other      available legal remedies; or (v) any combination of these actions. The      Company may take such actions against any participant, whether or not such      participant engaged in any misconduct or was otherwise at fault with      respect to such restatement or inaccurate measurement. The Company will,      however, not seek reimbursement with respect to any awards paid more than      three years prior to such restatement or the discovery of inaccurate      measurements, as applicable. |
