Common use of Cooperation Covenant Clause in Contracts

Cooperation Covenant. Both during and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with Eastern and with any legal counsel, expert or consultant Eastern may retain to assist in connection with any judicial proceedings, arbitration, administrative proceeding, governmental investigation, examination, inquiry or internal audit in which Eastern or any of its affiliates, may be or become involved, including full disclosure of all relevant information and truthfully testifying on Eastern’s behalf (or, at the request of Eastern, on behalf of any such affiliate of Eastern) in connection with any such proceeding or investigation. Eastern shall pay all of the Executive’s travel and other reasonable expenses associated with such cooperation, and, in the event the Executive is then no longer employed with Eastern, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to schedule such cooperation such that it does not conflict with the Executive’s professional or personal commitments. In addition, in the event Executive is no longer employed by Eastern and did not receive payment under this Agreement, Eastern shall pay Executive a reasonable hourly rate for any such cooperation.
