The notice described in subsections (ii) and (iii) above may be given at any time within twelve months after the expiration of the applicable covenant period under Section 1.6(a).  

(c) Recovery of Compensation in Connection with Financial Restatement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, if the Board determines that the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the law, whether such noncompliance is the result of misconduct or other circumstances, the Participant shall be required to reimburse the Company for any amounts earned or payable with respect to this Award to the extent required by and otherwise in accordance with applicable law and any Company policies.
