Visualize this: you're stuck deep in an armbar from the top position (you're on the bottom). With just a split-second of freedom before your arm gets straightened, you grab onto your lapel with your trapped arm. What happens next will be determined by a few contributing factors: how good your partner is at finishing the armlock, how good at you are escaping, possibly how tired you both are, and possibly what has happened during the roll leading up to this event (think: sport BJJ, and one of you is up on points with a minute to go). What you can control from this is what we'll focus on here: how good you are at escaping. Here is a high percentage defense and escape you can start working on right away.
