  (ii) The compensation committee of Northeast has identified and limited during the Applicable Period, any features of the SEO compensation plans that could lead SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten the value of Northeast and has identified any features of the employee compensation plans that pose risks to Northeast and has limited those features to ensure that Northeast is not unnecessarily exposed to risks;

 

  (iii) The compensation committee has reviewed, at least every six months during the Applicable Period, the terms of each employee compensation plan and identified any features of the plan that could encourage the manipulation of reported earnings of Northeast to enhance the compensation of an employee and has limited any such features;

 

  (iv) The compensation committee of Northeast will certify to the reviews of the SEO compensation plans and employee compensation plans required under (i) and (iii) above;

 

  (v) The compensation committee of Northeast will provide a narrative description of how it limited during the Applicable Period the features in:

  (vi) Northeast has required that bonus payments to SEOs or any of the next 20 most highly compensated employees, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under Section 111 of EESA (bonus payments), be subject to a recovery or “clawback” provision during the Applicable Period if the bonus payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria;

 

  (vii) Northeast has prohibited any golden parachute payment, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under Section 111 of EESA, to an SEO or any of the next five most highly compensated employees during the Applicable Period;

 

  (viii) Northeast has limited bonus payments to its applicable employee in accordance with Section 111 of EESA and the regulations and guidance established thereunder during the Applicable Period;

 

  (ix) Northeast and its employees have complied with the excessive or luxury expenditures policy, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under Section 111 of EESA, during the Applicable Period; and any expenses that, pursuant to the policy, required approval of the board of directors, a committee of the board of directors, an SEO, or an executive officer with a similar level of responsibility were properly approved;

 

  (x) Northeast will permit a non-binding shareholder resolution in compliance with any applicable federal securities rules and regulations on the disclosures provided under the federal securities laws related to SEO compensation paid or accrued during the Applicable Period;


  (xi) Northeast will disclose the amount, nature, and justification for the offering during the Applicable Period, of any perquisites, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under Section 111 of EESA, whose total value exceeds $25,000 for any employee who is subject to the bonus payment limitations identified in paragraph (viii);
