Exhibit A
 
Indemnification Provisions
 
Capitalized terms used but not defined on this Exhibit A shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement to which this exhibit is attached.
 
In consideration of CapStone's agreement to act on the Company's behalf in
connection with the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CapStone and its affiliates, and the
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of
CapStone, its affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling CapStone or
any of its affiliates (CapStone and each such other person and entity being an
"Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities related to, arising out of or in connection with the engagement (the
"Engagement") under the Agreement, and will reimburse each Indemnified Person
for all expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as they are
incurred and/or upon request in connection with investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding
related to, arising out of or in connection with the Engagement, whether or not
pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party. The
Company will not, however, be responsible for any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially
determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of any
Indemnified Person.
 
The Company will not, without Capstone's prior written consent, settle,
compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to
terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or nor any Indemnified Person
is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination
includes a release of each Indemnified Person from any liabilities arising out
of such action, claim, suit or proceeding. No Indemnified Person Seeking
indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under these provisions will,
without the Company's prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the
entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit,
investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph,
 
If  the indemnification provided for in the first paragraph of these provisions
is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the
third sentence of the first paragraph hereof) to an Indemnified Person in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, the Company shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expense relating thereto)
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the
applicable Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, of
the Engagement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only tha relative
benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of
the applicable Indemnified Person and the Company, a? well as any other relevant
equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Indemnified Person's aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed
the aggregate amount of cash fees actually received by CapStone under the
Agreement. Assuming that the Company has fully satisfied the amount of its
obligations provided for herein to the Indemnified Persons, and the Indemnified
Persons shall have no further liabilities in connection therewith, then the
Company may take control of any pending action or litigation in order to reduce
the expenses in connection therewith. For the purposes of these indemnification
provisions, the relative benefits to us and the applicable Indemnified Person of
the Engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total
value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received
by the Company or its shareholders, as the case may be, in the transaction or
transactions that are the subject of the Engagement, whether or not any such
transaction is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid to CapStone in connection
with the Proposed Offering.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Procedure. Upon obtaining knowledge of any claim which may give rise to
indemnification not involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall,
as promptly as practicable following the date the Indemnified Person has
obtained such knowledge, give written notice (which may be delivered by
facsimile transmission, with confirmation of receipt by the receiving party) of
such claim for which indemnification is sought (each, a "Claim") to the Company,
but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Company of any liability
hereunder (except to the extent we have suffered actual, irreversible and
material economic prejudice thereby). The Indemnified Person, at its cost, shall
furnish to the Company in good faith and in reasonable detail such information
as the Indemnified Person may have with respect to such Claim.
 
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of
any action, suit or proceeding involving a Claim by a third party (each, a
"Third Party Claim") against it, such Indemnified Person will give written
notice to the Company of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, and shall
give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Company
may reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the
Company of any liability hereunder (except to the extent we have suffered
actual, irreversible and material economic prejudice thereby). The Company shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense and control the
settlement of such Third Party Claim, at the Company's cost and expense (and not
as a reduction in the amount of indemnification available hereunder), using
counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Person, If the Company satisfies the requirements of these indemnification
provisions and desires to exercise its right to assume the defense and control
the settlement of such Third Party Claim, the Company shall give written notice
(the "Notice") to the Indemnified Person within fourteen (14) calendar days of
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Person of the commencement of or
assertion of any Third Party Claim stating that the Company shall be responsible
for such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified
Person shall have the right: (i) to assume the defense and control the
settlement of a Third Party Claim and (ii) to employ separate counsel at the
Company's reasonable expense (provided that the Company shall not be required to
reimburse the expenses and costs of more than one law firm) and control its own
defense of a Third Party Claim if (x) the named parties to any such action
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Person and the
Company, and the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that
there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Indemnified
Person that are different from those available to the Company, (y) such Third
Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary damages or in the
reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, such settlement would have a
continuing material adverse effect on the Indemnified Person's business
(including any material impairment of its relationships with customers and
suppliers) or (z) or in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, the
Company may not be able to satisfy fully such Third Party Claim. In addition, if
the Company fails to give the Indemnified Person the Notice in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to assume control
of the defense of and settle the Third Party Claim and all costs incurred in
connection therewith shall constitute damages of the Indemnified Person. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that it will advance any reasonable
retainer fees required by legal counsel to an Indemnified Person simultaneously
with the engagement by such Indemnified Person of such counsel, it being
understood that such retainer shall be credited to fees incurred with the
balance (if any) refundable to the Company.
 
 
10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
If at any time after the Company assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, any
of the conditions set forth in the paragraph above are no longer satisfied, the
Indemnified Person shall have the same rights as set forth above as if the
Company never assumed the defense of such claim.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or the Indemnified Person, as the
case may be, shall have the right to participate, at the Company's or its own
expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other party is
defending.
 
If the Company assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Company shall have the right, upon 30 calendar days' prior
written notice to the Indemnified Person, to consent to the entry of judgment
with respect to, or otherwise settle such Third Party Claim; provided, however,
that with respect to such consent to the entry of judgment or settlement, the
Indemnified Person will not have any liability and will be fully indemnified
with respect to all Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not have the right to consent to the entry of judgment with
respect to, or otherwise settle a Third Party Claim if; (i) the consent to
judgment or settlement of such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other
non-monetary damages against the Indemnified Person, or (ii) in the reasonable
judgment of the Indemnified Person, such settlement would have a continuing
effect on the Indemnified Person's business (including any material impairment
of its relationships with customers and suppliers), without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Person. In addition, the Indemnified Person shall
have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim on such terms
and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, (x) if the Company fails to
assume the defense in accordance with the terms hereof, or (y) to the extent
such Third Party Claim involves only equitable or other non-monetary relief, and
shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim involving monetary damages
with the Company's consant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
 
The provisions of this indemnification provisions shall apply to the Engagement
and any modification thereof and shall remain in full force and effect
regardless Of any termination or the completion of Capstone's services under the
Agreement.
