Independent Counsel. The Executive acknowledges that Executive has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this Agreement and in the making of its terms by independent legal counsel, selected of the Executive’s own free will, and that the Executive has had the opportunity to discuss this Agreement with counsel. Executive further acknowledges that Executive has read and understands the meaning and ramifications of this Agreement and as evidence of this fact signs this Agreement below. The Executive further acknowledges that the Company has not made any representations or given any advice with respect to the tax or other consequences of this Agreement, or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement to Executive and that the Executive has been advised of the importance of seeking independent counsel with respect to such consequences. By executing this Agreement, the Executive represents that the Executive has, after being advised of the potential conflicts between Executive and the Company with respect to the future consequences of this Agreement, either consulted independent legal counsel or elected, notwithstanding the advisability of seeking such independent legal counsel, not to consult with such independent legal counsel.

Independent Counsel. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “independent counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: # the Company, the Parent, or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or # any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “independent counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company, the Parent, or the Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

Independent Counsel. The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company, and the Company shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising the Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Indemnitee may, within five (5) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within ten (10) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to [Section 7(c)(ii)] of this Agreement and after a request for the appointment of Independent Counsel has been made, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under [Section 7(d)] of this Agreement. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to [Section 7(f)] of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). Any expenses incurred by or in connection with the appointment of Independent Counsel shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the Determination of Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) and not by Indemnitee.

Consultation with Independent Counsel. The Parties hereto have each consulted with and been counseled by their own legal counsel and tax advisors, and are entering into this Agreement voluntarily and with full understanding of the meaning and legal effects of each provision contained in this Agreement. Snell and Wilmer L.L.P. has acted as legal counsel to ​ and has not acted as legal counsel to any other Party. The Parties hereto and their respective legal counsel have been involved in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of any dispute regarding the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that this Agreement and the provisions hereof shall not be construed against any one Party as the drafter of this Agreement.

Advice to Seek Independent Counsel. The Participant is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this Section 19. The Participant acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Award Agreement, the Participant has been advised by the Corporation of the Participant's right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Participant's own selection regarding this Award Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon the Participant pursuant to this Section 19. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has entered into this Award Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Award Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel.

The Participant acknowledges he or she has been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein.

The Corporation shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation in which the Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement. In any such matter the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain other counsel to act on its behalf and, without limiting any other indemnification to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, the fees and disbursements of such other counsel retained by the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Corporation provided: # the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Corporation; or # the Corporation has not assumed the defence and employed counsel therefor within a reasonable time after receiving notice of such action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation; or # counsel retained by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party has advised the Indemnified Party that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate for any reason, including without limitation because there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation or that there is a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnified Party (in either of which events the Corporation shall not have the right to assume control of the defence on the Indemnified Party’s behalf). No admission of liability shall be made by either party without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section # Selection of Independent Counsel. If the determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to [Section 6.2] will be made by an Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel will be selected as provided in this [Section 6.3], except as otherwise provided by Section 6.1. Initially, a candidate to serve as Independent Counsel will be nominated by Indemnitee. The Indemnitee will give written notice to the Board of Directors advising them of the identity of the Independent Counsel so nominated. The, Board of Directors shall have ten days after such written notice of selection is given to deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the candidate nominated to serve as Independent Counsel does not meet the criteria of “Independent Counsel” as defined in this Agreement, and the objection will set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so nominated will act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 30 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1, no Independent Counsel is selected, or an Independent Counsel for which an objection thereto has been properly made remains unresolved, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection which has been made by the Board of Directors to the nomination of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court may designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed will act as Independent Counsel under [Section 6.2]. The Company will pay any and all fees and expenses incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to [Section 6.2] hereof, and the Company will pay all fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this [Section 6.3].
