All awards are subject to the Company's bonus recoupment policies, which include: (i) recoupment in the event of a material restatement of the Company's financial results; (ii) forfeiture of unvested awards and recoupment of certain vested awards if an employee is terminated for cause, which may include violation of the Company's Code of Conduct or other Company polices; (iii) for members of the Company's Operating Committee, although it is intended and expected that the awards would vest and/or become exercisable as scheduled, the terms and conditions of the awards allow for reduction, forfeiture or deferral in scheduled vesting or exercisability in the event of a determination by the CEO, as part of the Company's annual performance assessment process, based on the CEO's assessment of the performance of the executive and the Company (which may include more than one performance year), that an executive has not achieved satisfactory progress toward the executive's priorities or that the Company has not achieved satisfactory progress toward the Company's priorities for which the executive shares responsibility as a member of the Operating Committee. Such determination is subject to ratification by the Compensation and Management Development Committee; and (iv) for members of the Company's Operating Committee who are also subject to the clawback provisions of the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase program, such clawback policies.
