				 B.
			Determination of Recoupment Amount.    The Committee may take into account any factors it deems reasonable in determining whether to seek recoupment of previously paid Incentive Compensation (or cancellation of outstanding Incentive Compensation) and how much compensation to recoup from individual Covered Persons (which need not be the same amount or proportion for every Covered Person. However, no misconduct on the part of a Covered Person is required for the Committee to exercise its authority in the context of its Financial Restatement recoupment under part I.A.1 of this Policy. Under this Policy, the manner in which compensation shall be recouped (including the amount and form of compensation to which such recoupment is applied) shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, including through cancellation of vested or unvested stock options, cancellation of unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance stock units and/or cash repayment.
