Executive will cooperate with all reasonable requests by the Company (or any of its Affiliates) for assistance in connection with any investigation or legal proceedings involving the Company (or any of its Affiliates, to the extent Executive was involved with any such Affiliate while employed hereunder), including by providing truthful testimony in person in any such legal proceedings without having to be subpoenaed. Such cooperation shall be at reasonable times and locations and shall be reasonably subject to Executive’s personal and business commitments and shall not require Executive to cooperate against his own legal interests. Executive shall be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation including travel (at the level provided to Executive during his employment) and reasonable legal fees in the event Executive determines that it is necessary for him to engage independent counsel; provided, that, the Company shall have the opportunity to reasonably pre-approve such expenses.
