 This Policy will be administered by the Board’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”),
unless otherwise determined by the Board, in accordance with the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 Notwithstanding anything in any policy, plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of the affiliates in its “controlled group,” within
the meaning of §30.1 Q-1(b) of 31 C.F.R. Part 30 or any subsequent applicable CPP Guidance, to the contrary, all determinations, actions and interpretations made pursuant to this Policy shall be made in accordance with EESA and any applicable
CPP Guidance. 

  

	 	•	 	 If the Committee determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that an SEO received a payment, or payments, of bonus or incentive compensation (including,
without limitation, any non-equity short- or long-term bonus or any equity compensation) that is based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria used in determining or setting such
bonus or incentive compensation, then the Committee shall determine the amount of any such bonus or incentive compensation that was paid as a result of such materially inaccurate financial statements and/or performance metric criteria (the
“Overpayment Amount”). The Committee shall, promptly after making such determination, send such SEO a notice of recovery (“Recovery Notice”) which shall specify the Overpayment Amount. The Committee shall, promptly
after making such determination, send such SEO a notice of recovery (“Recovery Notice”) which shall specify the Overpayment Amount and the terms for prompt repayment thereof. 

 The Board shall have the authority to amend or terminate this Policy to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of EESA and the CPP Guidance. The Committee
