The Holding Company (or its successor) may assume control at its expense over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal or state tax treatment (except to the extent necessary or appropriate for Executive to resolve any such proceeding with respect to any matter unrelated to amounts paid or payable pursuant to this contract) and Executive shall cooperate fully with the Holding Company in any such proceeding. Executive shall not enter into any compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Holding Company (or its successor) may have in connection therewith without prior consent to the Holding Company (or its successor). In the event that the Holding Company (or any successor thereto) elects not to assume control over such matters, the Holding Company (or any successor thereto) shall promptly reimburse Executive for all expenses related thereto as and when incurred upon presentation of appropriate documentation relating thereto.
