The Parties hereby ratify and incorporate herein their mutual obligations to each other as set forth in Paragraph 17 of the Employment Agreement. Rawls acknowledges that, separate from and in addition to any obligation Rawls may continue to have as a member of the Board or pursuant to a consulting relationship with Finisar, Finisar may need to consult with Rawls from time to time on a reasonable basis after the Separation Date on matters that Rawls worked on prior to the Separation Date. Rawls agrees to cooperate with Employer and to provide any such information as is reasonably requested by Finisar in any matters, actual or threatened litigation, arbitrations, mediations, audits or proceedings with which Rawls was involved, or relating to any work with which Rawls was involved or had knowledge, during Rawls's employment or service as a member of the Board with Finisar. Finisar agrees that it shall not request Rawls to perform future services if such performance would prevent Rawls from experiencing a “separation from service” as described in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Finisar request services from Rawls in excess of 20% of the average level of services performed by Rawls prior to the date of this Agreement.
