Except as required by applicable law, rule or regulation or any recognized subpoena power, Executive agrees that, during and after the Employment Period, Executive shall not at any time make any statement or representation, written or oral, which Executive knows or should know will, or which Executive knows or should know is reasonably likely to, impair or adversely affect in any way the reputation, goodwill, business, customer or supplier relationships, or public relations of the Employer and/or any of its Affiliates, and/or any of their respective partners, directors, employees or officers. In the event that Executive becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to make any such statements or representations, then prior thereto, Executive will provide the Board with prompt written notice so that the Board may seek (with Executive’s cooperation) a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, then Executive will only make such statements or representations which Executive is advised by counsel are legally required, and will cooperate with the Board in the Board’s efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any such statements or representations.
