Nothing in this Letter Agreement shall prohibit the Company from terminating your employment prior to the Separation Date for “Cause” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) or you from voluntarily terminating your employment prior to the Separation Date; provided that, in each such case,

you shall be eligible only for the Accrued Amounts (as defined in the Severance Agreement) and any other vested rights to which you may be entitled under any other Company employee benefit plan by reason of your employment with the Company that cannot legally be waived and are not otherwise subject to forfeiture upon a termination for Cause.

Following the Separation Date, you agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its counsel with respect to any matter (including, without limitation, any litigation, investigation or government proceeding) that relates to matters with which you are or were involved or about which you had knowledge during your employment with the Company.
