Relocation / Sign-on Clawback

I recently received a job offer at a start-up in a space I am really passionate about, but it necessitates an immediate start. My original IB offer letter noted that if I were to resign before the 2nd anniversary of my start date, I would be required to pay back my relocation and sign-on, I was wondering if it would be prorated to the months left from my second anniversary or if it would all be clawed back. Given that i am just 1.5 months away from having hit 2 years, it would be painful to repay the entirety of my sign-on bonus. Anyone know if I can push for the pro-rating since offer letter just said I would have to repay it but it didn't say in full?
