DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2005
(this "Agreement"), is made by and between Proliance International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
                                                         ("Indemnitee").

RECITALS:

A.    Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the
business and affairs of a corporation will be managed by or under the direction
of its board of directors.

B.    Pursuant to Sections 141 and 142 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
significant authority with respect to the management of the Company has been
delegated to the officers of the Company.

C.    By virtue of the managerial prerogatives vested in the directors and
officers of a Delaware corporation, directors and officers act as fiduciaries of
the corporation and its stockholders.

D.    Thus, it is critically important to the Company and its stockholders that
the Company be able to attract and retain the most capable persons reasonably
available to serve as directors and officers of the Company.

E.    In recognition of the need for corporations to be able to induce capable
and responsible persons to accept positions in corporate management, Delaware
law authorizes (and in some instances requires) corporations to indemnify their
directors and officers and further authorizes corporations to purchase and
maintain insurance for the benefit of their directors and officers.

F.    The Delaware courts have recognized that indemnification by a corporation
serves the dual policies of (1) allowing corporate officials to resist
unjustified lawsuits, secure in the knowledge that, if vindicated, the
corporation will bear the expense of litigation and (2) encouraging capable
women and men to serve as corporate directors and officers, secure in the
knowledge that the corporation will absorb the costs of defending their honesty
and integrity.

G.    The number of lawsuits challenging the judgment and actions of directors
and officers of Delaware corporations, the costs of defending those lawsuits and
the threat to directors' and officers' personal assets have all materially
increased over the past several years, chilling the willingness of capable women
and men to undertake the responsibilities imposed on corporate directors and
officers.

H.    Recent federal legislation and rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the national securities exchanges have imposed
additional disclosure and corporate governance obligations on directors and
officers of public companies and have exposed such directors and officers to new
and substantially broadened civil liabilities.

I.    These legislative and regulatory initiatives have also exposed directors
and officers of public companies to a significantly greater risk of criminal
proceedings, with attendant defense costs and potential criminal fines and
penalties.

J.    Under Delaware law, the right of a director or officer to be reimbursed
for the costs of defense of criminal actions, whether such claims are asserted
under state or federal law, does not depend upon the merits of the claims
asserted against the director or officer and is separate and distinct from any
right to indemnification the director or officer may be able to establish, and
indemnification of the director or officer against criminal fines and penalties
is permitted if the director or officer satisfies the applicable standard of
conduct.

K.    Indemnitee is a director and/or officer of the Company and his/her
willingness to serve in such capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon
the Company's willingness to indemnify him/her in accordance with the principles
reflected above, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of
Delaware, and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.

L.    Therefore, (1) in recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with
substantial protection against personal liability, (2) in order to procure
Indemnitee's continued service as a director and

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

officer of the Company and to enhance Indemnitee's ability to serve the Company
in an effective manner, and (3) in order to provide such protection pursuant to
express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of, among other
things, any amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws
(collectively, the "Constituent Documents"), any change in the composition of
the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or any change-in-control or
business combination transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to
provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancement of
Expenses (as defined in Section 1(e)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this
Agreement and for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Company's
directors' and officers' liability insurance policies.

M.    In light of the considerations referred to in the preceding recitals, it
is the Company's intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be
construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections
to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)
of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock
of the Company; provided, however, that:

of the Company representing 1% or more of the then-outstanding Voting Stock of
the Company, other than in an acquisition directly from the Company that is
approved by a majority of the Incumbent Directors or other than as a result of a
stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company in
which all holders of Voting Stock are treated equally, such subsequent
acquisition will be deemed to constitute a Change in Control;

(C)    a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if a Person
acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company
as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of Voting Stock of the
Company outstanding unless and until such Person thereafter becomes the
beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock of the Company

Stock of the

2

Company inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a
sufficient number of shares so that such Person beneficially owns less than 20%
of the Voting Stock of the Company, then no Change in Control will be deemed to
have occurred as a result of such Person's acquisition; or

entities who were the beneficial owners of Voting Stock of the Company
immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
shares of Voting Stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination
(including an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or
all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one
or more subsidiaries), (B) no Person (other than the Company, such entity
resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, any Subsidiary or such
entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
indirectly, 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
shares of Voting Stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination,
and (C) at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the
entity resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the

stockholders or appointment, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the then Incumbent Directors (either by a specific vote or by approval of the
proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for
director, without objection to such nomination); provided, however, that an
individual will not be an Incumbent Director if such individual's election or
appointment to the Board occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election
contest (as described in Rule 14a-12(c) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the
election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of
proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board.

(C)    "Subsidiary" means an entity in which the Company directly or indirectly

purposes of this definition, "control" means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or
policies of an entity or enterprise, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, through other voting rights, by contract or otherwise; provided that
direct or indirect beneficial ownership of capital stock or other interests in
an entity or enterprise entitling the holder to cast 20% or more of the total

persons performing comparable functions) of such entity or enterprise will be
deemed to constitute control for purposes of this definition.

(d)    "Disinterested Director" means a director of the Company who is not and
was not a party to the Claim in respect of which indemnification is sought by
Indemnitee.

(e)    "Expenses" means attorneys' and experts' fees and expenses and all other

agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint

agent of the Company or as a current or former director, officer, employee,
member, manager, trustee or agent of the Company or any other entity or
enterprise referred to in clause (i) of this sentence or any actual, alleged or
suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee in connection with any obligation
or restriction imposed upon Indemnitee by reason of such status. In addition to
any service at the actual request of the Company, for purposes of this
Agreement, Indemnitee will be deemed to be serving or to have served at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, member, manager,
trustee or agent of another entity or enterprise if Indemnitee is or was serving
as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of such
entity or enterprise and (i) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such
service was a Controlled Affiliate, (ii) such entity or enterprise is or at the
time of such service was an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored
or maintained by the Company or a Controlled Affiliate, or (iii) the Company or
a Controlled Affiliate directly or indirectly caused or authorized Indemnitee to
be nominated, elected, appointed, designated, employed, engaged or selected to
serve in such capacity.

(g)    "Indemnifiable Losses" means any and all Losses relating to, arising out
of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim.

(h)    "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, or a member of 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 (i) the Company (or any
Subsidiary) or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other
than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or
of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any
other named (or, as to a threatened matter, reasonably likely to be named) party
to the Indemnifiable Claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" will 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
or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights under this
Agreement.

4

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

(i)    "Losses" means any and all Expenses, damages, losses, liabilities,
judgments, fines, penalties (whether civil, criminal or other) and amounts paid
in settlement, including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or
payable in connection with or in respect of any of the foregoing.

2.    Indemnification Obligation.     Subject to Section 7, the Company will
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted
or required by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect on the date hereof or
as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of
such permitted indemnification, against any and all Indemnifiable Claims and
Indemnifiable Losses; provided, however, that, except as provided in Sections 4
and 20, Indemnitee will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the
Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined
in or consented to the initiation of such Claim.

3.    Advancement of Expenses.    Indemnitee will have the right to advancement
by the Company prior to the final disposition of any Indemnifiable Claim of any
and all Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable
Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee or which Indemnitee determines are
reasonably likely to be paid or incurred by Indemnitee. Indemnitee's right to
such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct.
Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within five business
days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company will, in accordance with such
request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of
Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such
Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses; provided that
Indemnitee will repay, without interest, any amounts actually advanced to
Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which
the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or payable by Indemnitee in
respect of Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such
Indemnifiable Claim. In connection with any such payment, advancement or
reimbursement, Indemnitee will execute and deliver to the Company an
undertaking, which need not be secured and will be accepted without reference to
Indemnitee's ability to repay the Expenses, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee,
to repay any amounts paid, advanced or reimbursed by the Company in respect of
Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim
in respect of which it is determined, following the final disposition of such
Indemnifiable Claim and in accordance with Section 7, that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification hereunder.

4.    Indemnification for Additional Expenses.    Without limiting the
generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, will reimburse
Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such
request, any and all Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee or which Indemnitee
determines are reasonably likely to be paid or incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee for (a)
indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company
under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision
of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to
Indemnifiable Claims, and/or (b) recovery under any directors' and officers'
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless in each case
of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may
be; provided, however, that Indemnitee will return, without interest, any such
advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) which remains unspent at the final
disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.

5.    Partial Indemnity.    If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any
Indemnifiable Loss, but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company
will nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which
Indemnitee is entitled.

6.    Procedure for Notification.    To obtain indemnification under this
Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee
will submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief
description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such
Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of
such request, the Company

5

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

has directors' and officers' liability insurance in effect under which coverage
for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the
Company will give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or
Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the applicable policies. The Company will provide to Indemnitee a
copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and copies of all
subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the
Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially
concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by
Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or
Indemnifiable Loss will not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder
unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such
Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture
by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.

7.    Determination of Right to Indemnification.

(a)    To the extent that Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any
issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee will
be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or
resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no
Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 7(b)) will be required.

(b)    To the extent that the provisions of Section 7(a) are inapplicable to an
Indemnifiable Claim that is finally disposed of, any determination of whether
Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law
that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee
hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting
from such Indemnifiable Claim (a "Standard of Conduct Determination") will be
made as follows: (i) if a Change in Control has not occurred, or if a Change in
Control has occurred but Indemnitee has requested that the Standard of Conduct
Determination be made pursuant to this clause (i), (A) by a majority vote of the
Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board, (B) if such
Disinterested Directors so direct, by a majority vote of a committee of
Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of all Disinterested
Directors, or (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which will be
delivered to Indemnitee; and (ii) if a Change in Control has occurred and
Indemnitee has not requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made
pursuant to clause (i), by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to
the Board, a copy of which will be delivered to Indemnitee. Indemnitee will
cooperate with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct
Determination, including providing to such person or persons, upon reasonable
advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or
otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to
Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee,
will reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business
days of such request, any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' and
experts' fees and expenses) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the
person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination.

(c)    The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of
Conduct Determination required under Section 7(b) to be made as promptly as
practicable. If (i) the person or persons empowered or selected under Section 7
to make the Standard of Conduct Determination has not made a determination
within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice
from Indemnitee advising the Company of the final disposition of the applicable
Indemnifiable Claim (the date of such receipt being the "Notification Date") and
(B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made
by Independent Counsel, that is permitted under the provisions of Section 7(e)
to make such determination and (ii) Indemnitee has fulfilled his/her obligations
set forth in the second sentence of Section 7(b), then Indemnitee will be deemed
to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided that such 30-day
period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional

6

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

30 days, if the person or persons making such determination in good faith
requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluation or documentation
and/or information relating thereto.

(d)    If (i) Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder against any
Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7(a), (ii) no determination of whether
Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law
is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee
hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been
determined or deemed pursuant to Section 7(b) or (c) to have satisfied any
applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law which is a legally required
condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any
Indemnifiable Losses, then the Company will pay to Indemnitee, within five
business days after the later of (x) the Notification Date in respect of the
Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are
related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such
Indemnifiable Losses resulted and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable
criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is satisfied, an amount
equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.

(e)    If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent
Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), the Independent Counsel will be selected by
the Board of Directors, and the Company will give written notice to Indemnitee
advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a
Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant
to Section 7(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel will be selected by Indemnitee, and
Indemnitee will give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity
of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the
Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written
notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other 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 satisfy the
criteria set forth in the definition of "Independent Counsel" in Section 1(h),
and the objection must set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected
will act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and
timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so 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 and (ii) the
non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent
Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of
the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case
the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of this
sentence will apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the
provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence will apply to
successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted
under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(e) to make the Standard of
Conduct Determination is selected within 30 days after the Company gives its
initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7(e) or Indemnitee
gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 7(e),
as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection which has been
made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other's selection of Independent
Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person or firm
selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court designates, and the
person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person
or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company
will pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel
incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel's determination pursuant to
Section 7(b).

8.    Presumption of Entitlement.    In making any Standard of Conduct
Determination, the person or persons making such determination will presume that
Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the Company may
overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear and convincing evidence to
the contrary. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to
Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware.

7

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

No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent
Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct
will be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification or
reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create
a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

9.    No Other Presumption.    For purposes of this Agreement, the termination
of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court
approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
will not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable
standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not
permitted.

10.    Non-Exclusivity.    The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent
Documents, or the substantive laws of the Company's jurisdiction of
incorporation, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, "Other Indemnity
Provisions"); provided, however, that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee
otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other
Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right
hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity
Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided
under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have
such greater right hereunder. The Company will not adopt any amendment to any of
the Constituent Documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or
encumber Indemnitee's right to indemnification under this Agreement or any Other
Indemnity Provision.

11.    Liability Insurance and Funding.    For the duration of Indemnitee's
service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long
as Indemnitee is subject to any pending or possible Indemnifiable Claim, the
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope
and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be
maintained in effect policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance
providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that is at least
substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company's
current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance. The Company
will provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors' and officers' liability
insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other
related materials and will provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the
two immediately preceding sentences, the Company will not discontinue or
significantly reduce the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to
the next (i) without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the
Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (ii) if at the time that any
such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage
is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent
of Indemnitee (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In
all policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance obtained by the
Company, Indemnitee will be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are
accorded to the Company's directors and officers most favorably insured by such
policy. The Company may, but will not be required to, create a trust fund, grant
a security interest or use other means, including a letter of credit, to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to
indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement.

12.    Subrogation.    In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company
will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of
recovery of Indemnitee against other persons or entities (other than
Indemnitee's successors), including any entity or enterprise referred to in
clause (i) of the definition of "Indemnifiable Claim" in Section 1(f).
Indemnitee will execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights
(all of Indemnitee's reasonable Expenses, including attorneys' fees and charges,
related thereto to be reimbursed by or, at the option of Indemnitee, advanced by
the Company).

13.    No Duplication of Payments.    The Company will not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable
Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of
Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the
Constituent Documents and Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including

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

from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of
"Indemnifiable Claim" in Section 1(f)) in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

14.    Defense of Claims.    The Company will be entitled to participate in the
defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee
believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the
use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such
counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such
Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company
and Indemnitee and Indemnitee concludes that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those
available to the Company, or (c) any such representation by such counsel would
be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, then Indemnitee will be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not
more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any
particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company's expense. The Company will not
be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement
of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company's
prior written consent. The Company will not, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending
Indemnifiable Claim to which the Indemnitee is, or could have been, a party
unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a
complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any
claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the
Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed
settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that
does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee.

15.    Successors and Binding Agreement.    (a) The Company will require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation,
reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the
Company, including any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase,
merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will
thereafter be deemed the "Company" for purposes of this Agreement), but will not
otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company.

(b)    This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Indemnitee's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors.

(c)    This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto
may, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 15(a)
and 15(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing,
Indemnitee's right to receive payments hereunder will not be assignable, whether
by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a
transfer by the Indemnitee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this
Section 15(c), the Company will have no liability to pay any amount so attempted
to be assigned or transferred.

16.    Notices.    For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications,
including notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be
given hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given
when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with
receipt thereof orally confirmed), or five business days after having been
mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid or one business day after having been sent for next-day delivery
by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company
(to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) and to Indemnitee at the
applicable address shown on the signature page hereto, or to such other address
as any party may

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

have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that
notices of changes of address will be effective only upon receipt.

17.    Governing Law.    The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the
principles of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each
hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the
State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding
which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action
instituted under this Agreement will be brought only in the Chancery Court of
the State of Delaware.

18.    Validity.    If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any
provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or
otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision to any other person or circumstance will not be affected, and the
provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal will be
reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to make it
enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative
body declines to reform any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding
sentence, the parties thereto will take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to replace the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or
otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the
purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as
possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal.

19.    Miscellaneous.    No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified
or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in
writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto
at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
will be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the
same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral
or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof
have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this
Agreement. References to Sections are to references to Sections of this
Agreement.

20.    Legal Fees and Expenses.    It is the intent of the Company that
Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees and or other Expenses associated
with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee's rights under
this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof
would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to
Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of
any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company
has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the
event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action
to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or
other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the
benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, the
Company irrevocably authorizes the Indemnitee from time to time to retain
counsel of Indemnitee's choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter
provided, to advise and represent Indemnitee in connection with any such
interpretation, enforcement or defense, including the initiation or defense of
any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any
director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in
any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client
relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably
consents to Indemnitee's entering into an attorney-client relationship with such
counsel, and in that connection the Company and Indemnitee agree that a
confidential relationship will exist between Indemnitee and such counsel.
Without respect to whether Indemnitee prevails, in whole or in part, in
connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely
financially responsible for any and all attorneys' and related fees and expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing.

21.    Certain Interpretive Matters.    Unless the context of this Agreement
otherwise requires, (a) "it" or "its" or words of any gender include each other
gender, (b) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or
singular number, respectively, (c) the terms "hereof,"

10

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

"herein," "hereby" and derivative or similar words refer to this entire
Agreement, (d) the terms "Article," "Section," "Annex" or "Exhibit" refer to the
specified Article, Section, Annex or Exhibit of or to this Agreement, (e) the
terms "include," "includes" and "including" will be deemed to be followed by the
words "without limitation" (whether or not so expressed), and (f) the word "or"
is disjunctive but not exclusive. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of
days, such number will refer to calendar days unless business days are specified
and whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the
delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time or
by a particular date that ends or occurs on a non-business day, then such period
or date will be extended until the immediately following business day. As used
herein, "business day" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a United
States federal holiday.

22.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same agreement.
