During the Executive's employment and at any time thereafter, the Executive agrees not to disparage, either orally or in writing, in any material respect the Corporation or any of its current or former employees, officers or directors, and will not authorize others to do so on Executive's behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph 7.e. shall preclude the Executive from (i) enforcing his rights under this Agreement or responding truthfully to legal process or governmental inquiry, (ii) in the course of and consistent with his duties for the Corporation, evaluating or discussing the performance or conduct of other officers and/or employees, including in connection with performance evaluations or (iii) providing truthful testimony or information in any proceeding or in response to any request from any governmental agency or any judicial, arbitral or self-regulatory forum or as otherwise required by law, subject to the Executive providing the Corporation with as much prior written notice as is practicable under the circumstances and permitted by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or otherwise shall prohibit the Executive from making a report to any governmental agency or entity, including, but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress and any agency Inspector General, if he has a reasonable belief that there has been a potential violation of federal or state law or regulation or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable federal or state law or regulation. No prior authorization to make any such reports or disclosures is required and the Executive is not required to notify the Corporation that he has made such reports or disclosures.  The Executive, however, may not waive the Corporation's attorney-client privilege.
