WHEREAS, the board of directors has concluded that the Company’s directors and officers should be provided with maximum protection in order to insure that the most capable persons otherwise available will remain in, and in the future be attracted to, such directorships or executive officer positions, as the case may be, and, furthermore, that it is fair, reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to contractually obligate itself to indemnify present and future directors and officers of the Company and their respective estates in a reasonable and adequate manner and that the Company assume the responsibility and liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims brought whether on account of any prior, present or future alleged act, omission, injury, damage, or event; and

2.3. Notice of Claim.  The Indemnitee shall give to the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnity or, if applicable, contribution pursuant to this Agreement and will further notify and cooperate with the Company in the selection of counsel and in the incurrence of Expenses in defending or investigating any claim for which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement.  The Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably require and as shall be within the Indemnitee’s power.

Assumption of Liability by Company.  If the Indemnitee is deceased and in entitled to indemnification or, if applicable, contribution under any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify or provide contribution to the Indemnitee’s estate,  spouse, heirs, administrators, custodians,  and executors against, and the Company shall assume any and all costs, charges, and Expenses (including attorneys’ fees), penalties and Fines actually and reasonably incurred by or for the Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s estate,  spouse, heirs, administrators, custodians,  and executors, in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any such Proceeding.  Further, when requested in writing by the spouse of the Indemnitee, and/or the heirs, executors or administrators of the Indemnitee’s estate, the Company shall provide appropriate evidence of the Company’s agreement set out herein to indemnify or provide contribution to Indemnitee against and to the Company’s assumption of the obligations for payment of such costs, charges, liabilities and Expenses.

4. Partial Indemnification of Contribution.  If the Indemnitee shall be entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by or, if applicable, contribution from the Company for some or a portion of the cost, charges and Expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,  Fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of such Proceeding but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify or, if applicable, provide contribution to Indemnitee as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee shall be entitled under this Agreement.

5. Determination of Right to Indemnification.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, any indemnification or, if applicable, contribution under the terms of this Agreement shall (unless ordered by a court) be paid by the Company promptly or in any event within 60 days of written request for payment, unless a determination is made, as hereinafter provided, that indemnification is not proper in the circumstances because of the provisions of Section 8 or 9.

The determination that Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct required to qualify and entitle Indemnitee, partially or fully, to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement shall be made (i) either by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are or were not parties of such Proceeding or (ii) by legal counsel (who may be the outside counsel regularly employed by the Company); provided that the manner in which (and, if applicable, the counsel by which) the right to indemnification or, if applicable, contribution shall be determined in advance in written agreement by both the highest ranking executive officer of the Company who is not party to such Proceeding (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Senior Officer”) and by the Indemnitee.  In the event that the Senior Officer and Indemnitee are unable to agree on the manner in which the determination of the right to indemnity or, if applicable, contribution is to be made, such determination may be made by Independent Legal Counsel retained by the Company solely for such purpose; provided that such Independent Legal Counsel shall be approved in advance in writing by both the Senior Officer and the Indemnitee; and, provided further, that such Independent Legal Counsel shall not be

5

outside counsel regularly employed by the Company.  The fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel in connection with making the determination contemplated under this Agreement shall be paid by the Company, and if requested by such Independent Legal Counsel, the Company shall give such Independent Legal Counsel an appropriate written agreement with respect to the payment of fees and expenses and such other matters as may reasonably requested by such Independent Legal Counsel.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee may, either before or within three (3) years after a determination has been made as provided above, petition any court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or, if applicable, contribution under this Agreement, and such court shall thereupon have the exclusive authority to make such determination unless and until such court dismisses or otherwise terminates such action without having made such determination. The court shall, as petitioned, make an independent determination of whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or, if applicable, contribution pursuant to this Agreement, irrespective of any prior determination made by the board of directors or the shareholders of the Company or Company’s counsel.  If the court shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or, if applicable, contribution under this Agreement as to any claim, issue or matter involved in the Proceeding with respect to which there has been no prior determination pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to which there has been a prior determination pursuant to this Agreement that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or, if applicable, contribution pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with enforcement of Indemnitee’s indemnity or, if applicable, contribution under this Agreement.  In any Proceeding to determine the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution or to such advancement of expenses or otherwise shall be the Company’s burden.

If the Person (including the board of directors or the shareholders of the Company, Independent Legal Counsel, or a court) making the determination pursuant to this Agreement shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution as to some claims, issues or matters involved in the Proceeding, threatened other otherwise, but not as to others, such Person shall reasonably prorate the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties,  Fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to which indemnification or contribution is sought by the Indemnitee among such claims, issues or matters.

If, and to the extent that, it is finally determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnitee agrees to reimburse the Company for all expenses advanced or prepaid pursuant to this Agreement, or the proper proportion thereof, other than the expenses of obtaining the aforementioned judicial determination.

6.  Advances of Cost, Charges, and Expenses.  The cost, charges, and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in investigating, defending, or appealing any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, shall be paid by the Company in advance (unless, in the opinion of regular outside counsel to the Company, the provisions of Section 8 or 9 preclude such advance payment) with the understanding and acknowledgment of Indemnitee and the Company, that in the event it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee was not entitled to be indemnified or receive contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, or was not entitled to be fully indemnified or receive full contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, that the Indemnitee shall repay to the Company such amount, or the appropriate portion thereof, paid or advanced by the Company.  In any Proceeding, whether brought by the Company or otherwise, to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking by the Indemnitee, the burden of proving that Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or to such advancement of expenses under this Agreement or otherwise shall be the Company’s burden.

6

7.  Other Rights and Remedies.  The indemnification or, if applicable, contribution and advance payment of expenses as provided in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights that the Indemnitee may be entitled under any provision of law, any Policy (as an insured thereunder), the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, any Bylaw, this Agreement or any other agreement, the vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, as to any action or inaction of Indemnitee on behalf of the Company and in any capacity, and shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased to hold such position or capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, guardians, custodians, personal representatives and administrators of the Indemnitee.

8.  Construction.

8.1  Contractual Liability. This Agreement shall not be construed or interpreted to give rise to a “contractual liability” that shall be excluded by any Policy or any other insurance policy maintained by the Company .  Each and every term of this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee solely as to amounts (a) in excess of the limits of the Policy with respect to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,  Fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement for which coverage shall be or have been in effect under the Policy and (b) used under the Policy as a “deductible” amount and (c) that none of the Policy and the other liability insurance policies of the Company clearly provide coverage of the Indemnitee as an Insured, specifically named or otherwise; however, in any case that the Company believes the Policy or its other insurance policies should cover a loss, cost or expense for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, the Company may make a contingent payment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise without admission, waiver or prejudice to the Company’s position that the Policy or the Company’s other insurance policies cover the loss, cost or expense paid.  In amplification and clarification but not in limitation hereof, it is the intent of the Company that this Agreement operate as “excess coverage” above the Policy and other applicable insurance policy limits and that this Agreement operate as “first dollar” coverage in all matters that are outside the scope of the Policy or within the deductibles of the Policy and all other insurance policies maintained by the Company from time to time, except to the extent that the exclusions set forth in Section 9 are applicable.

Furthermore, in amplification but not in limitation of the foregoing, there is hereby expressly included “first dollar” coverage with respect to the following matters if considered by the Policy and all other insurance policies maintained by the Company to be exclusions:

(1)  any act or omission in connection with the acquisition or assumption by Affiliates or the Company of the stock, assets and/or business of other corporations by merger, purchase of assets, bulk reinsurance or otherwise;

(2)  liabilities and expenses based on or arising out of any Proceeding by a Non-governmental Person involving the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S. C.   1961 et seq.); and

(3)  any act or omission the sole applicable exclusion for which by the Policy is on account of either (i) lack of appropriate notice, (ii)  the existence of prior insurance coverage, (iii)  the timing of the occurrence and the claim, or (iv) other procedural defenses to coverage by the Policy or any other policies of insurance maintained by the Company.

8.2. Partial Invalidity.  In the event any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation any portion of any paragraphs of any section of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable but that are not themselves invalid, illegal or impaired thereby), and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without

7

limitation, all portions of any paragraph of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but that are not themselves invalid, illegal of unenforceable) shall be construed and interpreted to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

9.  Exclusions and Limitation.  Notwithstanding any thing contained herein to the contrary:

9.1.  The Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for, nor obligated to furnish advance payments in connection with, any loss, cost or Expense of Indemnitee resulting from Indemnitee’s willful or negligent violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act.

9.2.  The Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for, and shall not be obligated to furnish any advances except for repayable costs, charges and expenses as set forth in this Agreement in connection with, any loss, cost or Expense of the Indemnitee as the direct result of a final judgment for money damages payable to the Company or any Affiliate for or on account of loss, cost or Expense directly or indirectly resulting from the Indemnitee having acted or failed to act in a manner that was not in good faith or was not in a manner that Indemnitee should have reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company;  provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee shall be fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses that the court shall deem proper.

9.3.  Unless otherwise allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, whether in a separate action or otherwise, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for, and the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the Company for all advance payments that were made of, Expenses of any matter the judgment of which shall be excluded under Section 9.2.

9.4.  Unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, whether in a separate action or otherwise, a settlement of any Proceeding shall be presumed to be an “Expense” in mitigation of the expenses of continued litigation and not the compromise of a judgment on the merits of the Proceeding.

9.5.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, the board of directors has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director and/or officer of the Company in the wholly or partially successful defense or Indemnitee was determined to not have primary liability for any such Proceeding) shall be asserted by the Indemnitee in connection with the Company’s securities that have been registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall, unless in the opinion of the Company’s counsel the matter has been settled by controlling legal precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  In effect, therefore, absent a court decision in the individual case or controlling precedent, the provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to liabilities of the Indemnitee arising under the Securities Act, unless and only to the extent that the Indemnitee shall be successful in the defense of the Proceeding in question or Indemnitee was determined to not have primary liability for any such Proceeding.

9.6.  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Indemnitee:

8

(a)  based upon or attributable to the Indemnitee or any member of Indemnitee’s immediate family gaining in fact any personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee was not legally entitled;

(b)  based upon or attributable to the dishonesty of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement as to any claims upon which Proceeding may be brought against the Indemnitee by reason of any alleged dishonesty on Indemnitee’s part, unless a judgment or other final adjudication shall establish that Indemnitee committed acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, with actual dishonest purpose or intent, which acts were material to the cause of action so adjudicated; [or]

(c)  for bodily injury, sickness, disease or death of any person, or damage to or destruction of any tangible property; including loss of use thereof; or

(d)  for which indemnification under this Agreement is determined by a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful and violative of public policy.

10.  Change in Control.  The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control that has been approved by a majority of the Company’s board of directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and Independent Legal Counsel shall determine whether Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnity payments and expense advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company now or hereafter in effect.  Independent Legal Counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and the Indemnitee regarding the extent that Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified or receive contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of Independent Legal Counsel and to indemnify fully Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of Independent Legal Counsel pursuant to this Agreement.

11. Establishment of Trust.  In the event of a Potential Change in Control, the Company shall (i) upon written request by the Indemnitee, create a trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee and (ii) fund such trust in a amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request that may be incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for and defending any claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event, and any and all judgments, Fines, penalties and settlement amounts of any and all claims relation to an Indemnifiable Event from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed to be paid.  The amount or amounts to be deposited in the trust pursuant to the aforementioned funding obligation shall be determined by a majority vote of a quorum of the Company’s Independent Directors, in any case that Independent Legal Counsel shall be involved.  The terms of the trust shall provide that upon a Change in Control (i) the trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the written consent of Indemnitee, (ii) the trustee shall advance, within five business days of a request by Indemnitee, any and all expenses to Indemnitee (and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the trust under the circumstances under that Indemnitee would be required to reimburse the Company pursuant to this Agreement), (iii) the trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for which Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in such trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by Independent Directors or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified or received the full benefits of contribution under the terms of this Agreement.  The trustee shall be chosen by Indemnitee.  Nothing in this Section 11 shall be construed or interpreted to relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  All income earned on the assets held in the trust shall be reported as income by the Company for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes.

12.  Non-exclusivity, Etc.  The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights the Indemnitee may have under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or the Oklahoma Law or otherwise.  To the extent that a change in the Oklahoma Law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under any one of or collectively the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and this Agreement, it is the intent of the Company and Indemnitee that the Indemnitee shall be entitled by this Agreement to the greater benefits afforded by such change.

13.  Contribution.  (a)  If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement shall be unavailable to Indemnitee in respect to any Indemnifiable Event, then in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnitee, the Company shall contribute in the Proceeding the amount paid or payable by Indemnitee, as a result of such Indemnifiable Event (i) in excess of the realized benefit, measured in monetary value, received by Indemnitee directly resulting from or attributable to the actions or inactions of Indemnitee upon which the Indemnifiable Event shall be based, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above shall not be permitted by applicable law, then in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect not only the realized monetary benefit referenced in clause (i) above, but also the relative fault of Indemnitee on the one hand, and the Company and its other officers, directors, employees and agents on the one hand, in connection with the actions or inactions of Indemnitee upon which the Indemnifiable Event shall be based as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of Indemnitee on the one hand and the Company and its other officers, directors, employees and agents on the one hand, shall be determined with reference to, among other things, whether the alleged actions or inactions (including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact) relate to or were based upon information furnished or should have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company and its other officers, directors, employees or agents, and their relative intent, knowledge, access or information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, inaction, statement or omission.  The Company and Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section.  In any Proceeding to determine the rights of Indemnitee to contribution pursuant to this Agreement, the burden of proving that Indemnitee was not entitled to the benefits of contribution shall be the Company’s burden.

(b) The notice of claim pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.3 shall also serve as notice of entitled to contribution pursuant to this Agreement. The contribution provisions contained in this Section are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available.

14.  No Construction as Employment Agreement.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as giving the Indemnitee any right of employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates.

15.  Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains a Policy (or Policies), providing director and officer liability insurance, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such Policy (or Policies), in accordance with the terms of such Policy (or Policies), to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer.

16.  Period of Limitations.  No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, administrators, custodian, guardian or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company or its Affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such three-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall govern.

17.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee (but subordinated to any remaining or further right of recovery that Indemnitee may have), who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring any Proceeding to enforce such rights.

18.  No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any Policy, Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or otherwise) or the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

19.  Identical Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

20.  Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

21.  Use if Certain Terms.  As used in this Agreement, the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular paragraph, subparagraph or other subdivision.

22.  Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Company and Indemnitee.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

23.  Notice to Company.  The Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, subpoena, citation, complaint, indictment, or other document relating to a Proceeding that shall be or may be covered under this Agreement; however, failure to promptly notify the Company shall not in any way adversely affect the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement.

24.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand by Federal Express or other commercial courier and receipted for by or on behalf of the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or if (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it shall be so mailed:
