Common use of Cooperation with Employer Clause in Contracts

Cooperation with Employer. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive will reasonably cooperate with the Employer in responding to the reasonable requests of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and General Counsel, in connection with any and all existing or future litigation, arbitrations, mediations, or investigations brought by or against the Employer, or its affiliates, agents, officers, directors, or employees, whether administrative, civil or criminal in nature, in which the Employer reasonably deems the Executive’s cooperation necessary or desirable. The Employer shall either (i) reimburse the Executive directly for Executive’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such cooperation or (ii) furnish such costs and expenses at its own expense (including, but not limited to, providing counsel to the Executive), with the Employer selecting either (i) or (ii) in its discretion. In such matters, the Executive agrees to provide the Employer with reasonable advice, assistance and truthful information, including offering and explaining evidence, providing sworn truthful statements, and participating in discovery and trial preparation and testimony. The Executive also agrees to promptly send the Employer copies of all correspondence (for example, but not limited to, subpoenas) received by the Executive in connection with any such legal proceedings, unless the Executive is expressly prohibited by law from so doing.
