For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.
Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s charter documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to any of the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
Mediation and Arbitration If the Executive and the Employer have any dispute whatsoever relating to the interpretation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or any other dispute arising out of this Agreement, every reasonable attempt will be made to resolve any differences or dispute within thirty (30) days of an issuance of written notice by either party to the other party. If a successful resolution of any differences or dispute has not been achieved to the satisfaction of both parties at the end of the thirty (30) day period, the following steps will be used: Except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, the parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the Executive’s employment or cessation of employment, including but not limited to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under any federal, state, or local statute, law, ordinance or regulation or under this Agreement, shall be resolved exclusively by Alternative Dispute Resolution described in this Agreement ("ADR"). The initiation of ADR shall first require mediation, and the parties agree to first try to settle any dispute through mediation. Mediation shall be initiated by either party by the serving of a written notice of intent to mediate (a "Mediation Notice") by one party upon the other. If no resolution has been mutually agreed through mediation within ninety (90) days of service of a Mediation Notice, then and only then may the dispute be submitted to arbitration. Arbitration shall be initiated by the serving of a written notice of intent to arbitrate (an "Arbitration Notice") by one party upon the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude the Employer from seeking temporary or permanent injunctive relief and/or damages from a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement with respect to any breach of Section 7 of this Agreement.
(a) In the event that a party wishes to initiate ADR, a Mediation Notice must be served on the other party within six months from the date on which the claim arose. If the parties cannot mutually agree on a mediator, then a mediator shall be selected in accordance with the Employment Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
(b) In the event that mediation is unsuccessful and arbitration is initiated, it shall be conducted under the National Rules of the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. There shall be a single arbitrator to be agreed upon by the parties, provided that, if the parties are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator, each party shall name an arbitrator and the two so named shall name a third arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings shall be heard by the arbitrator(s) and the decision of the arbitrator, or the majority of the panel if one has been selected, shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. An Arbitration Notice must be served on the other party within one year from the date on which the claim arose, and failure to bring such a claim within such one-year period shall constitute a waiver of such claim and an absolute bar to any further proceedings in any forum with respect to it. All mediation and arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Bangor, Maine, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.
(c) The cost of any mediation proceeding under this Section 9 shall be paid entirely by the Employer. The cost of any arbitration proceeding will be shared equally by the parties to the dispute; provided, however, that, if the dispute is resolved in favor of the Executive, such cost shall be paid in full by the Employer. Each party shall be responsible for its own cost of representation and counsel.
Antitrust Matters KBR and Halliburton each agree, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, to at all times during the term of this Agreement use reasonable best efforts to assist with the other party’s full cooperation with any Governmental Authority in its investigation of Antitrust Matters and such other party’s investigation, defense and/or settlement of any claim by any Governmental Authority relating to or arising out of the Antitrust Matters. Without limiting the foregoing, a party’s reasonable best efforts to assist with the other party’s full cooperation contemplated by the preceding sentence shall include:

In the event that any party determines that such provision of Information pursuant to this Section 8.15 could violate any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client or work-product privilege, the parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.4, each party hereby undertakes, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, to preserve, maintain and retain all documents, records and other tangible evidence related to Antitrust Matters.
(c) Each party agrees, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, to use reasonable best efforts to (i) make available any of its current and former directors, officers, employees, agents, distributors, attorneys and Affiliates who may have been involved in the Antitrust Matters and whose cooperation is requested by the other party, the DOJ or other Governmental Authority; and (ii) recommend orally and in writing that any and all such persons cooperate fully (including by appearing for interviews with Governmental Authorities or testimony, including sworn testimony before a grand jury) with any investigation conducted by a party, the DOJ or other Governmental Authority with respect to the Antitrust Matters.
(d) Each party agrees to promptly inform and disclose to the other party any developments, communications or negotiations between such party or any member of its Group, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or third party, on the other hand, with respect to Antitrust Matters, except as prohibited by law or lawful order of a Governmental Authority. In addition, upon either party’s reasonable request, the attorneys, accountants, consultants or other advisors of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof of a requested party shall brief the Board of Directors or any committee thereof of the requesting party concerning the status of or issues arising under or relating to the Antitrust Matters.
