JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, dated April 23, 2009 (this "Agreement"), among Global Heavy Oil Corporation ("GRC"), a Delaware corporation maintaining its principal office at 1000 Atrium Way, Atrium One, Suite 100, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054, Schlumberger Technology Corporation ("STC"), a Texas corporation maintaining its principal office at 5599 San Felipe, Houston, TX 77056, and Schlumberger Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company maintaining its principal office at Craigmuir Chambers, P.O. Box 71, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands ("SHL" and, together with STC, the "Schlumberger Parties" and, individually, each a "Schlumberger Party"). GRC, STC and SHL are hereinafter referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

WHEREAS, GRC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Resource Corporation ("GBRC"), which is a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology and machinery that extracts oil and petroleum products from shale deposits, tar sands, capped oil wells, bituminous coal and processed materials such as tires and plastics as well as dredged soil from harbors and river bottoms; and

WHEREAS, GRC possesses certain intellectual property, proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how more particularly identified on Schedule A hereto, with potential application relative to Surface Upgrading (as hereinafter defined) in the Field of Use (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, the Schlumberger Parties and their affiliates are engaged in various operations within the Field of Use and also possess certain intellectual property, proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how with potential application to Surface Upgrading in the

Field of Use in connection with GRC's intellectual property, proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how; and

WHEREAS, neither Schlumberger Party shall be liable for the obligations of the other Schlumberger Party under this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto desire to jointly collaborate in order to develop Surface Upgrading products and services in the Field of Use based upon the intellectual property, proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how of the respective Parties more particularly identified on Schedule A hereto; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in Attachment I hereto;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Collaboration. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to collaborate in order to develop Surface Upgrading products and services in the Field of Use (the "Products and Services"). Subject to Section 9, the collaboration between GRC and the Schlumberger Parties as provided in the preceding sentence shall be implemented in three distinct phases as follows:

(a) Phase I, Research and Development. During Phase I, the concept of the Products and Services will be designed and developed, and the efficacy thereof will be tested. The specific development objectives for Phase I are set forth on Schedule B (the "Phase I Objectives"). Except as provided in Section 9, Phase I shall continue from the date of this Agreement and until the earlier of (1) the date on which the Parties agree that the Phase I Objectives have been fully satisfied, whereupon Phase II shall commence, or (2) the second

anniversary of the date of this Agreement, subject to extension at the option of either Party for a period continuing up to the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the "Phase I Term").

(b) Phase II. Prototype. Phase II shall commence immediately after the Parties agree that the Phase I Objectives have been fully satisfied and, subject to Section 9, continue until the earlier of (1) the date on which the Parties agree that the Phase II Objectives have been fully satisfied, or (2) the second anniversary of the commencement of Phase II (such time period being referred to herein as the "Primary Phase II Term"), subject to extension at the option of either Party for a period (the "Extension Period" and, together with the Primary Phase H Term, the "Phase II Tenn") continuing up to the third anniversary of the commencement of Phase II. During Phase II, the Parties will design and test a prototype device or system to deliver Products and Services as a prelude to the commercial exploitation of Products and Services. The specific development objectives for Phase II are set forth on Schedule B (the "Phase II Objectives").

(c) Phase III, Joint Venture Phase. Except as provided in Section 9, Phase III will commence if, and when, the Phase II Objectives have been fully satisfied, but only if such Phase II Objectives have been fully satisfied by the end of the Phase II Term. If the Phase II Objectives have been so satisfied during such time period, then the Parties shall enter into a joint venture (the "Phase III JV") for the commercial exploitation of the Products and Services. The terms and conditions of the documentation establishing and governing the Phase III JV shall include those provisions set forth in Attachment II hereto and such other terms as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

(d) Limited Purposes and Intent. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the purposes and intent of this Agreement are limited to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use and

that this Agreement is not intended to cover, and does not cover, in situ or downhole upgrading in the Field of Use.

Section 2. Exclusivity.

(a) General. In consideration of the time, effort and expense that the Schlumberger Parties will expend in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement, and in exchange for the payments described in the following sentence, GRC hereby agrees that, except as provided herein, during the term of this Agreement and continuing until two years after the termination of this Agreement, it shall not engage in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing or exploitation (commercial or other) of Products and Services, either individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any Person or Persons as principal, stockholder, owner, investor, partner or financing source (other than a holding of shares listed on a United States stock exchange or automated quotation system that does not exceed one percent of the outstanding shares so listed). In addition to the time, effort and expense that the Schlumberger Parties will expend in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement, and except as provided in Section 9, the Schlumberger Parties hereby agree to pay GRC up to $600,000 (the "Exclusivity Fee") in cash in immediately available funds as follows:

(i) $300,000 in cash in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement; and

(ii) an additional $300,000 in cash in immediately available funds payable on the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

(b) Acknowledgment. GRC acknowledges that the restrictions imposed by the provisions of subsection (a) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the

protection of the Schlumberger Parties. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 2 be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable legal requirements, whether now or hereafter in effect and, therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, the Parties hereto waive any provision of applicable legal requirements that would render any provision of this Section 2 invalid or unenforceable. If any court determines that any of such covenants in this Section 2, or any part thereof, are unenforceable, then: (i) the remainder of such covenants shall not be affected by such determination; and (ii) those of such covenants that are determined to be unenforceable because of the duration or scope thereof shall be reformed by the court to reduce their duration or scope so as to render the same enforceable against such Party.

Section 3. Expenditures.

(a) Phase I. During Phase I, each Party shall pay for its own Qualifying Expenditures.

(b) Phase II.

(i) During the Primary Phase II Term, and during the Extension Period if the Schlumberger Parties make the election to extend the Primary Phase II Term as provided in Section 1(b), the Schlumberger Parties will pay for all Qualifying Expenditures of GRC (in addition to its own Qualifying Expenditures) for manufacturing a prototype device or system (including spares) as provided in the Phase II Objectives to the extent, and only to the extent, that such expenditures are consistent with the then-current Annual Financial Plan (as hereinafter defined), it being understood that if any such expenditures are not consistent with the Annual Financial Plan then such expenditures shall be borne by GRC and shall not constitute Qualifying Expenditures of GRC under this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by the

Schlumberger Parties' designee on the Oversight Committee (as hereinafter defined). Any such amounts payable by the Schlumberger Parties to GRC shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt from GRC of an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail the type and amount of such Qualifying Expenditures. Each Party will pay for its own Qualifying Expenditures related to all other activities during the Primary Phase H Term and during the Extension Period.

(ii) During the Extension Period if GRC makes the election to extend the Primary Phase II Term as provided in Section 1(b), GRC will pay for all Qualifying Expenditures of the Schlumberger Parties (in addition to its own Qualifying Expenditures) for manufacturing a prototype device or system (including spares) as provided in the Phase II Objectives during such Extension Period to the extent, and only to the extent, that such expenditures are consistent with the then-current Annual Financial Plan (as hereinafter defined), it being understood that if any such expenditures are not consistent with the Annual Financial Plan then such expenditures shall be borne by the Schlumberger Parties and shall not constitute Qualifying Expenditures of the Schlumberger Parties under this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by GRC's designee on the Oversight Committee. Any such amounts payable by GRC to the Schlumberger Parties shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Schlumberger Parties of an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail the type and amount of such Qualifying Expenditures. Each Party will pay for its own Qualifying Expenditures related to all other activities during the Primary Phase II Term and during the Extension Period.

(c) Non-Recurring Engineering Charge. Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of Phase II, the Schlumberger Parties shall pay to GRC $1,000,000 in cash in immediately available funds as a Non-Recurring Engineering Charge.

(d) Procurement and Maintenance of JDA IP. During Phase I and Phase II, the Schlumberger Parties shall have sole authority to manage the procurement and maintenance of all JDA IP, including, without limitation, deciding whether to file patent applications, deciding in what countries to file patent applications, deciding whether to publish information, and deciding upon confidentiality requirements. GRC and its patent counsel shall have the right to review and comment on, but not approve or reject, the procurement and maintenance of all JDA IP. All reasonable expenses under this Section 3(d), together with interest thereon as calculated pursuant to Section 3(g) (collectively, the "IP Procurement and Maintenance Costs"), shall count as Qualifying Expenditures, including, without limitation, third party fees, but not including costs of internal employees. GRC shall execute and/or authorize any documents necessary for the Schlumberger Parties to take the actions set forth in this Section 3(d), including, without limitation, execution of patent application documents.

(e) Enforcement and Defense of JDA IP. During Phase I and Phase II, the Schlumberger Parties shall have the sole authority to manage the enforcement and defense of all JDA IP, including, without limitation, deciding whether, when, and where to file patent infringement claims; file complaints regarding unfair competition by patent infringement at the International Trade Commission; initiate or respond to patent application interferences; file trade secret misappropriation claims; respond to claims for declaratory judgment; respond to oppositions; respond to cancellations; file or respond to claims for change of inventorship; and file or respond to claims concerning contract provisions relating to JDA IP. GRC and its patent counsel shall have the right to review and comment on, but not approve or reject, the enforcement and defense of all JDA IP. All reasonable expenses under this Section 3(e), together with interest thereon as calculated pursuant to Section 3(g) (collectively, the "IP

Enforcement and Defense Costs"), shall count as Qualifying Expenditures, including, without limitation, third party fees, but not including costs of internal employees. GRC shall execute and/or authorize any documents necessary for the Schlumberger Parties to take the actions set forth in this Section 3(e), including, without limitation, execution of administrative agency and court documents.

(f) Accounting and Audit of Qualifying Expenditures.

(i) Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party shall submit to the other Party an accounting of all Qualifying Expenditures incurred by such Party during the preceding quarter.

(ii) The Parties shall appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers or another

mutually agreed upon independent accounting or appraisal firm of recognized national standing in the United States (the "QE Auditor") to audit the Qualifying Expenditures incurred by such Party during the preceding quarter. The QE Auditor shall be given reasonable access at reasonable times to the books and records of the Schlumberger Parties, GRC, their respective affiliates and their respective suppliers for the purpose of confirming the validity of Qualifying Expenditures. The decision by the QE Auditor of what constitutes a Qualifying Expenditure shall be final and binding on the Parties. The expenses of the QE Auditor (the "QE Auditor Costs") shall be paid by the Schlumberger Parties and constitute a Qualifying Expenditure, provided that GRC shall reimburse the Schlumberger Parties for one-half of such expenses if the Parties do not enter into the Phase III JV. GRC's portion of the QE Auditor Costs shall bear interest as provided in Section 3(g).

(iii) If, during Phase II, the QE Auditor determines that the Schlumberger Parties have paid for an expenditure of GRC that is not a Qualifying Expenditure,

then GRC shall promptly refund such amount to the Schlumberger Parties in cash in immediately available funds.

(g) Interest. All Qualifying Expenditures paid in cash by either Party during Phase I or Phase II shall bear interest, from the first day of the quarter following the quarter in which such expenditure was incurred, at the Agreed Rate.

Section 4. Ownership of Phase III JV.

(a) General. In the event the Parties enter into the Phase III JV, the Parties shall cause to be formed a legal entity to be owned not less than 60% by the Schlumberger Parties and not more than 40% by GRC. The terms and conditions of the documentation establishing and governing the Phase III JV shall include those provisions set forth in Attachment II hereto and such other terms as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

(b) Determination of Percentage Interest. A Party's percentage ownership interest in the Phase III JV (subject to the minimum and maximum thresholds set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 4) shall be based on the amount of Qualifying Expenditures previously paid by such Party after the date of this Agreement and prior to the end of Phase II in relation to the total Qualifying Expenditures paid by both Parties after the date of this Agreement and prior to the end of Phase II as follows:

(i) If the ratio of Qualifying Expenditures paid by GRC to total Qualifying Expenditures is less than 40%, then GRC shall have the option, but not the obligation, to acquire additional equity interests in the Phase III JV, up to an aggregate equity interest of 40%, by paying the Schlumberger Parties an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the difference between (I) the amount of Qualifying Expenditures corresponding to the percentage equity interest desired by GRC in the Phase III JV (up to an aggregate equity interest

of 40%), and (2) the amount of Qualifying Expenditures previously paid by GRC after the date of this Agreement and prior to the end of Phase II. By way of example, if total Qualifying Expenditures after the date of this Agreement and through the end of Phase II are $10,000,000 and GRC has previously paid $2,000,000 of Qualifying Expenditures after the date of this Agreement and through the end of Phase II, GRC would be entitled to a 20% equity interest in the Phase III JV and would have the option, but not the obligation, of purchasing up to an additional 20% equity interest in the Phase III JV in exchange for a cash payment of $2,000,000 to the Schlumberger Parties in immediately available funds. GRC shall have the right to exercise this option only once by delivering a notice to the Schlumberger Parties not less than thirty (30) days prior to the formation of the Phase III JV. GRC shall, at its option, make any payment required under this subsection (i) (1) within three business days after the formation of the Phase III JV, or (2) by means of set-off against distributions which would otherwise be payable to GRC by the Phase III JV (which amount would be paid to the Schlumberger Parties in reduction of the amount owed to the Schlumberger Parties by GRC pursuant to this Section). If amounts remain outstanding on the fifth anniversary of the formation of the Phase III JV, then such amounts shall become immediately due and payable. Any amounts paid pursuant to clause (2) of the second immediately preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Agreed Rate. If GRC fails to pay any amount due under this Section 4(b)(i), then GRC's percentage equity interest in the Phase III JV shall be permanently reduced to the percentage obtained from the following formula: (A) the total amount of Qualifying Expenditures paid by GRC, plus (B) the amount of any principal payments by GRC pursuant to this Section 4(b)(i) prior to such failure to pay, less (C) accrued but unpaid interest owing to the Schlumberger Parties at the time of such failure to pay, divided by (D) total Qualifying Expenditures.

(ii) If the ratio of Qualifying Expenditures paid by GRC to total Qualifying Expenditures is more than 40%, then the Schlumberger Parties shall pay to GRC an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the difference between (1) the amount of Qualifying Expenditures previously paid by GRC after the date of this Agreement and through the end of Phase II, and (2) the amount of Qualifying Expenditures corresponding to a 40% interest in the Phase III JV. By way of example, if total Qualifying Expenditures are $10,000,000 after the date of this Agreement and through the end of Phase II and GRC has previously paid $5,000,000 of Qualifying Expenditures after the date of this Agreement and through the end of Phase II, GRC would be entitled to a payment from the Schlumberger Parties of $1,000,000 in cash in immediately available funds, whereupon the Schlumberger Parties would have a 60% interest in the Phase III JV and GRC would have a 40% interest in the Phase III JV. The Schlumberger Parties shall make any payment required under this subsection (ii) (1) within three business days after the formation of the Phase III JV, or (2) by means of a set-off against distributions that would otherwise be payable to the Schlumberger Parties by the Phase III JV (which amount would be paid to GRC in reduction of the amount owed to GRC by the Schlumberger Parties pursuant to this Section). If amounts remain outstanding on the fifth anniversary of the formation of the Phase III JV, then such amounts shall become immediately due and payable. Any amounts paid pursuant to clause (2) of the second immediately preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Agreed Rate. If the Schlumberger Parties fail to pay any amount due under this Section 4(b)(ii), then the Schlumberger Parties' percentage equity interest in the Phase III JV shall be permanently reduced to the percentage obtained from the following formula: (A) the total amount of Qualifying Expenditures paid by the Schlumberger Parties, plus (B) the amount of any principal payments by the Schlumberger Parties pursuant to this

Section 4(b)(ii) prior to such failure to pay, less (C) accrued but unpaid interest owing to GRC at the time of such failure to pay, divided by (D) total Qualifying Expenditures.

Section 5. Annual Financial Plan. Within thirty (30) days following the execution

of this Agreement, each Party will prepare an annual financial plan (the "Annual Financial Plan") with respect to the development activity contemplated by this Agreement. Each Annual Financial Plan shall identify all expenditures that such Party proposes will constitute Qualifying Expenditures during the year covered by such plan, which expenditures will be subject to the review and approval of the other Party. The Parties shall update the Annual Financial Plan at least annually during Phase I and Phase II not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of each year. Any failure to agree on the Annual Financial Plan, or any proposed modification thereto, shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 23.

Section 6. Decision Making.

(a) Committee Formation. The Parties shall form two committees: an Oversight Committee and the Technical Steering Committee. The committees may establish their own rules and procedures and they may also establish such sub-committees as they see fit from time to time. The composition, powers and functions of the committees are further detailed in this Section.

(b) Oversight Committee.

(i)The Parties will establish an oversight committee (the "Oversight Committee") to (A) oversee the collaborative process under this Agreement, (B) discuss and deliberate the Phase I Objectives and the Phase II Objectives, (C) supervise the exchange between the Parties of Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined); (D) review the progress of Phase I and Phase II, and (E) make any decisions required hereunder on behalf of their

respective designating Parties. The Oversight Committee shall be comprised of two (2) members (the "OC Members"). The Schlumberger Parties will be entitled to designate one (1) OC Member, and GRC will be entitled to designate one (1) OC Member. No OC Member may be removed from his or her position on the Oversight Committee without the consent of the Party that designated such OC Member. Any OC Member may resign his or her position at any time, or be removed from his or her position at any time, with or without cause, by the Party designating such OC Member. All decisions, approvals and other actions of the Oversight Committee shall require unanimous agreement at regular meetings or by written consent. In the event of a deadlock on the Oversight Committee, the matter shall be referred back to the Parties, which shall use their reasonable best efforts to overcome such deadlock.

(ii) The Oversight Committee shall meet (either in person or by electronic means through which each participant can hear all other participants) at least once every three (3) months, or so often as its members otherwise agree. Not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice shall be given by one Party that it wishes to hold a meeting of the Oversight Committee. All such notices shall specify the time and place proposed for the relevant meeting together with details of the topic(s) requested to be discussed thereat, provided always that the other Party shall have the right to require additional items to be placed on the agenda of the meetings of the Oversight Committee, subject only to written notice of any such item being furnished by the other Party to the first Party prior to the scheduled meeting date.

(i) The Parties will establish a technical steering committee (the "Technical Committee") to oversee the fulfillment of Phase I Objectives and Phase II Objectives under this Agreement. The Technical Committee shall be comprised of four (4) members (the

"TSC Members"). The Schlumberger Parties will be entitled to designate two (2) TSC Members, and GRC will be entitled to designate two (2) TSC Members. No TSC Member may be removed from his or her position on the Technical Committee without the consent of the Party that designated such TSC Member. Any TSC Member may resign his or her position at any time, or be removed from his or her position at any time, with or without cause, by the Party designating such TSC Member.

(ii) The Technical Committee shall meet (either in person or by electronic means through which each participant can hear all other participants) as often as necessary, provided that prior written notice shall be given by one Party that it wishes to hold a meeting of the Technical Committee. All such notices shall specify the time and place proposed for the relevant meeting together with details of the topic(s) requested to be discussed thereat, provided always that the other Party shall have the right to require additional items to be placed on the agenda of the meetings of the Technical Committee, subject only to written notice of any such item being furnished by the other Party to the first Party prior to the scheduled meeting date.

Section 7. Intellectual Property.

(a) GRC License to the Schlumberger Parties. GRC grants the Schlumberger Parties an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use GRC Background IP only for Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use. GRC hereby represents and warrants to the Schlumberger Parties that the GRC Background IP constitutes all of the material Intellectual Property owned or licensed by GRC or GBRC or an affiliate thereof relating to potential applicability to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(b) Schlumberger Parties License to GRC. The Schlumberger Parties grant GRC an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Schlumberger Background IP only for Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use. The Schlumberger Parties hereby represent and warrant to GRC that the Schlumberger Background IP constitutes all of the material Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Schlumberger Parties or an affiliate thereof relating to potential applicability to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(c) Provision of Information by GRC. In response to a request from the Schlumberger Parties, GRC will promptly provide any information over which it has control and which concerns Intellectual Property relating to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(d) Provision of Information by the Schlumberger Parties. In response to a request from GRC, the Schlumberger Parties will promptly provide any information over which it has control and which concerns Intellectual Property relating to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(e) Joint Ownership. GRC and the Schlumberger Parties shall have joint 100% ownership interest in all JDA IP. The Schlumberger Parties grant GRC an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use JDA IP in any and all fields of use, except for the Mutual Field of Use and Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use, and Schlumberger agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a five year period thereafter, it shall not engage in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing or exploitation (commercial or other) of any products or services, either individually or in partnership or jointly in conjunction with any Person or Persons as principal, stockholder, owner, investor, partner or financing source other than a holding of shares listed on a United States stock exchange or automated quotation system that does not exceed one percent of the outstanding shares so listed) in respect of or derived from

any JDA IP in any or all fields of use other than for the Mutual Field of Use or Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(f) Further Assurances. GRC and the Schlumberger Parties shall each execute and/or authorize any documents necessary to establish the ownership of Section 7(e).

Section 8. Patent Claim Valuation. Schedule A hereto sets forth four critical claims, four critical countries, and a maximum value for each combination of critical claim and critical country for United States Patent Application 11/610,823 (the "GRC Patent"). To the extent a critical claim has been issued in a critical country for the GRC Patent and is legally enforceable at the end of Phase II, the Qualifying Expenditures of GRC shall include the U.S. Dollar value for such critical claim in such critical country as set forth in Schedule A. To the extent that a critical claim has been amended prior to issuance in a critical country for the GRC Patent and is legally enforceable at the end of Phase II, the Qualifying Expenditures of GRC in respect of such amended critical claim shall be determined by mutual agreement among the Parties; provided that the amount of Qualifying Expenditures of GRC in respect of such amended critical claim in a critical country shall not exceed the maximum value for such combination of critical claim (before its amendment) and critical country as set forth in Schedule A hereto;

provided, further, that if the Parties are unable to mutually agree on the Qualifying Expenditures of GRC in respect of such amended critical claim, then the amount of such Qualifying Expenditures with respect to such amended critical claim shall be determined (subject to the limitations in the preceding proviso) by a mutually agreeable independent third party.

confidentiality agreement with the other Party hereto or its Representatives or is otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the other Party hereto or its Representatives by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

(b) Representatives. Each Party may disclose any of the Confidential Information to those of its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of pursuing the activities contemplated by this Agreement (provided that such Representatives shall be informed by such Party of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 13 as if they were a party hereto).

(i) use microwave processes or technologies for the purpose of upgrading Heavy Oil above the surface of the Earth (including underwater) (it being understood that this Section 14(a)(i) does not limit or otherwise modify the obligations of GRC under Section 2 of this Agreement); provided, however, that, in the event of a termination pursuant to

Sections 9(c) or 9(e), during such period GRC shall have the right (alone and not in combination with any other Person) to use the JDA IP for research and development applications (but not for any other application, including, without limitation, the development, manufacture or sale of Products and Services), or

It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 14 be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable legal requirements, whether now or hereafter in effect and, therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, the Parties hereto waive any provision of applicable legal requirements that would render any provision of this Section 14 invalid or unenforceable. If any court determines that any of such covenants in this Section 14, or any part thereof, are unenforceable, then: (i) the remainder of such covenants shall not be affected by such determination; and (ii) those of such covenants that are determined to be unenforceable because

of the duration or scope thereof shall be reformed by the court to reduce their duration or scope so as to render the same enforceable against such Party.

In addition, the other Party hereto shall have all other remedies provided by law including, but not limited to, a suit for damages.

Each Schlumberger Party, severally and not jointly with the other Schlumberger Party, will defend, indemnify and hold harmless GRC and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any loss, liability (including strict liability), deficiency, damage, expense or cost (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, "Losses"), arising from, based upon or relating or otherwise attributable to:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of such Schlumberger Party in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or obligation of such Schlumberger Party; and

(iii) any alleged infringement of the Intellectual Property of such Schlumberger Party applicable to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(b) Indemnification by GRC. GRC will defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Schlumberger Party and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any Losses arising from, based upon or relating or otherwise attributable to:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of GRC in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or obligation of GRC; and

(iii) any alleged infringement of the Intellectual Property of GRC applicable to Surface Upgrading in the Field of Use.

(c) Limitations on Amount of Indemnification. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the duty and obligation of any Party to indemnify any Person (the "Indemnified Party") shall be limited to the net amount of any Losses actually paid or suffered by the Indemnified Party. In determining the net amount of such Losses for which indemnification is required hereunder, the gross amount of such Losses shall be reduced by the aggregate value of any money or other assets, properties and rights (including, without limitation, proceeds of insurance, related claims, crossclaims, and counterclaims, but excluding Federal or state income or franchise tax benefits), realized or to be realized by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(d) Procedure for Indemnification.

(i) Third-Party Claims. Promptly (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days) after receipt by the Indemnified Party under Section 15(a) or Section 15(b) of written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made by such Indemnified Party against an indemnifying party under any such Section

(the "Indemnifying Party"), give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding, but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Proceeding. If any Proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 15 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any Proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Proceeding unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for

which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Proceeding. In no event shall an Indemnified Party consent to the entry of judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to a claim for which it is seeking or will seek indemnification without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any Losses not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought. Such notice shall be provided to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the Indemnified Party first incurs or becomes aware that it may incur such Losses. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute prior to pursuing other remedies.

Section 16. Provisions of Agreement Not for Benefit of Any Non-Affiliate Third Party. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as existing for the benefit of any creditor of either Party, nor shall any such provision be enforceable by any party not a signatory to this Agreement, other than an affiliate of such Party. Each Schlumberger Party may assign its rights in the JDA IP to one or more of its affiliates; provided that any such assignee shall be bound by this Agreement as if it were a Party hereto with respect to the subject matter covered by such assignment; provided, further, that any such assignment shall not relieve such Schlumberger Party of its obligations under this Agreement nor diminish the rights of GRC under this Agreement.. Whenever a Schlumberger Party is required to grant licenses or take other action with respect to Intellectual Property under this Agreement, to the extent necessary, such Schlumberger Party shall ensure that its affiliates grant similar licenses or take similar other action with respect to any non-U.S. rights in such Intellectual Property.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, demands, or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon personal delivery hereof or by delivery by a recognized courier service or, if mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Parties at the addresses set forth below, five (5) days following deposit of same in the United States mail.
