If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 7.4(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be reasonably withheld).

With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 7: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person informed ob the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (iii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 7, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREEVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Negotiation. The Employee and the Company shall arrange a meeting, at a mutually convenient time by phone or in person, to discuss the issues of each Party and negotiate for a resolution of the dispute. The period of negotiation shall extend no longer than thirty (30) calendar days from the first meeting of the negotiators.

Mediation. If the Parties have failed to resolve the dispute by negotiation, the Parties shall submit to mediation prior to seeking resolution by binding arbitration. The Parties will cooperate with one another in selecting a mediator from the American Arbitration Association panel of neutrals, which shall be requested to promptly schedule the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will each bear their own costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator, are expected to be treated as confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the submission of the dispute to mediation (or such later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing), the administration of the arbitration shall proceed forthwith. The mediation may continue, if the parties so agree, after the appointment of the arbitrators. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case. The pendency of a mediation shall not preclude a party from seeking provisional remedies, such as a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order to prevent a continuing harm to a Party, in aid of the arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and the parties agree not to defend against any application for provisional relief on the ground that a mediation is pending.

Arbitration. Within five (5) business days of the conclusion of the Parties’ mediation, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration in Tulsa, Oklahoma, before three (3) arbitrators. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Commercial Rules for Arbitration. The arbitrators’ award may be enforced in Tulsa County District Court, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma or in any other court having jurisdiction over the parties. This clause shall not preclude the Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, such as a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order to prevent a continuing harm to a Party, from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The Parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that they will each bear their own costs. The provisions of this clause may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.

The Parties agree that the dispute resolution priority set forth herein is a material term of this agreement and that the damages for failure to comply with the dispute resolution priority are and would be difficult to measure. Consequently, the Parties agree that in the event a Party elects to ignore the dispute resolution priority order requirements set forth in this Section 9.4(b), the Party making the election shall be obligated for all (internal and external) costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of the other Party, regardless of how the dispute is ultimately decided. In other words, any Party electing to forego the dispute resolution priority in Section 9.4(b) also elects to pay the fees, costs and expenses of the other Party even if the electing Party ultimately prevails. The dispute resolution priority order requirement specified in this Section 9.4(b) may be amended, modified, or waived only upon the agreement, in writing, of the Parties.
