The Party that is prevented from performing its obligation by reason of Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other Parties of that fact and shall exercise due diligence to end its inability to perform as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party is not required to settle any strike, lockout or other labor dispute in which it may be involved; provided, however, that, in the event of a strike, lockout or other labor dispute affecting MMHGP, MMHGP shall use reasonable efforts to continue to perform all obligations hereunder by utilizing its management personnel and that of its Affiliates.

Dispute Resolution
Section 7.01 Disputes. This Article VII shall apply to any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and whether arising at law or in equity), including (a) any dispute regarding the construction, interpretation, performance, validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or whether any Person is in compliance with, or breach of, any provisions of this Agreement, and (b) the applicability of this Article VII to a particular dispute (collectively, a "Dispute"). The provisions of this Article VII shall be the exclusive method of resolving Disputes. For purposes of this Article, each of MMHGP and GP, acting for itself and on behalf of MMP, shall be a "Participant".
Section 7.02 Negotiation to Resolve Disputes. If a Dispute arises, the Participants shall attempt to resolve such Dispute through the following procedure:
Section 7.03 Selection of Arbitrator.
(b) The Participant that submits a Dispute to arbitration shall designate a proposed Arbitrator in its Arbitration Notice. If any other Participant objects to such proposed Arbitrator, it may, on or before the tenth day following delivery of the Arbitration Notice, notify the other Participants of such objection. The Participants shall attempt to agree upon a mutually-acceptable Arbitrator. If they are unable to do so within 20 days following delivery of the notice described in the immediately-preceding sentence, any Participant may request the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") to designate the Arbitrator. If the Arbitrator so chosen shall die, resign or otherwise fail or become unable to serve as Arbitrator, a replacement Arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with this Section 7.03.
Section 7.04 Conduct of Arbitration. The Arbitrator shall expeditiously (and, if possible, within 90 days after the Arbitrator's selection) hear and decide all matters concerning the Dispute. Except as the Participants agree otherwise, the arbitration hearing shall be held in the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Except as the Participants agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (excluding rules governing the payment of arbitration, administrative or other fees or expenses to the Arbitrator or the AAA), to the extent that such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall have the power (a) to gather such materials, information, testimony and evidence in the manner as it deems appropriate and relevant to the dispute before it (and each Participant will provide such materials, information, testimony and evidence requested by the Arbitrator, except to the extent any information so requested is proprietary, subject to a third-party confidentiality restriction or to an attorney-client or other privilege) and (b) to grant injunctive relief and enforce specific performance. If it deems necessary, the Arbitrator may propose to the Participants that one or more other experts be retained to assist it in resolving the Dispute. The retention of such other experts shall require the unanimous consent of the Participants, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Participant, the Arbitrator and any proposed expert shall disclose to each other any business, personal or other relationship or affiliation that may exist between such Participant (or the Arbitrator) and such proposed expert; and any Participant may disapprove of such proposed expert on the basis of such relationship or affiliation. The decision of the Arbitrator (which shall be rendered in writing) shall be final, nonappealable and binding upon the Participants and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the Participants agree that the Arbitrator and any court enforcing the award of the Arbitrator shall not have the right or authority to award, special, punitive, exemplary, consequential, indirect or other similar damages (including without limitation damages on account of lost profits or opportunities) to any Participant. The responsibility for paying the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including compensation to the Arbitrator and any experts duly retained by the Arbitrator, shall be allocated between the Participants in a manner determined by the Arbitrator to be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Each Participant shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its respective counsel, consultants and witnesses, unless the Arbitrator determines that compelling reasons exist for allocating all or a portion of such costs and expenses in another manner. Any costs or expenses incurred by a Participant(s) in enforcing any Award of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the Participant challenging the enforcement.
