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

2.    Basic Indemnification Agreement. In consideration of, and as an inducement
to, the Indemnitee rendering valuable services to the Company, the Company
agrees that in the event Indemnitee is or becomes a party to or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other
participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an
Indemnifiable Event, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent
authorized by law, against any and all Expenses and Losses (including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in
respect of such Expenses and Losses) of such Claim, whether or not such Claim
proceeds to judgment or is settled or otherwise is brought to a final
disposition, subject in each case, to the further provisions of this Agreement.
3.    Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2, Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless from any Losses
or Expenses (a) which have been Determined, as provided herein, to constitute an
Excluded Claim; (b) to the extent Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company and
has actually received payment pursuant to the Company's Governing Documents, D&O
Insurance, or otherwise; or (c) other than pursuant to the last sentence of
Section 4(d) or Section 14, in connection with any Claim initiated by
Indemnitee, unless the Company has joined in or the Board of Directors has
authorized such Claim.
4.    Indemnification Procedures.
(a)    Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of any Claim, Indemnitee
shall, if indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company
under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof and
Indemnitee agrees further not to make any admission or effect any settlement
with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Company, except any Claim
with respect to which the Indemnitee has undertaken the defense in accordance
with the second to last sentence of Section 4(d).

9

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

(b)    If, at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has D&O
Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of
Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
Losses and Expenses payable as a result of such Claim.
(c)    To the extent the Company does not, at the time of the Claim have
applicable D&O Insurance, or if a Determination is made that any Expenses
arising out of such Claim will not be payable under the D&O Insurance then in
effect, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of any Claim in
advance of the final disposition thereof and the Company, if appropriate, shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel satisfactory to
Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so
to do. After delivery of such notice, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense other than reasonable
Expenses of investigation; provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ its counsel in such Claim but the fees and expenses of such counsel
incurred after delivery of notice from the Company of its assumption of such
defense shall be at the Indemnitee's expense; provided further that if: (i) the
employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the
Company; (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any
such defense; or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to
assume the defense of such action, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
shall be at the expense of the Company.
            

10

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

(d)    All payments on account of the Company's indemnification obligations
under this Agreement shall be made within sixty (60) days of Indemnitee's
written request therefor unless a Determination is made that the Claims giving
rise to Indemnitee's request are Excluded Claims or otherwise not payable under
this Agreement, provided that all payments on account of the Company's
obligation to pay Expenses under Section 4(c) of this Agreement prior to the
final disposition of any Claim shall be made within 20 days of Indemnitee's
written request therefor and such obligation shall not be subject to any such
Determination but shall be subject to Section 4(e) of this Agreement. In the
event the Company takes the position that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in connection with the proposed settlement of any Claim, the
Indemnitee shall have the right at its own expense to undertake defense of any
such Claim, insofar as such proceeding involves Claims against the Indemnitee,
by written notice given to the Company within 10 days after the Company has
notified the Indemnitee in writing of its contention that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification. If it is subsequently determined in connection with
such proceeding that the Indemnifiable Events are not Excluded Claims and that
the Indemnitee, therefore, is entitled to be indemnified under the provisions of
Section 2 hereof, the Company shall promptly indemnify the Indemnitee.
(e)    Indemnitee hereby expressly undertakes and agrees to reimburse the
Company for all Losses and Expenses paid by the Company in connection with any
Claim against Indemnitee in the event and only to the extent that a
Determination shall have been made by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
decision from which there is no further right to appeal that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Losses and Expenses because
the Claim is an Excluded Claim or because Indemnitee is otherwise not entitled
to payment under this Agreement.

11

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

5.    Settlement. The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected
without the Company's prior written consent. The Company shall not settle any
Claim in which it takes the position that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in connection with such settlement without the consent of the
Indemnitee, nor shall the Company settle any Claim in any manner which would
impose any Fine or any obligation on Indemnitee, without Indemnitee's written
consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold their
consent to any proposed settlement.
6.    Change in Control; Extraordinary Transactions. The Company and Indemnitee
agree that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change
in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of
Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then
all Determinations thereafter with respect to the rights of Indemnitee to be
paid Losses and Expenses under this Agreement shall be made only by a special
independent counsel (the "Special Independent Counsel") selected by Indemnitee
and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld)
or by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay the reasonable
fees of such Special Independent Counsel and shall indemnify such Special
Independent Counsel against any and all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.
The Company covenants and agrees that, in the event of a Change in Control of
the sort set forth in clause (C) of Section 1(c), the Company will use its best
efforts (a) to have the obligations of the Company under this Agreement
including, but not limited to those under Section 7, expressly assumed by the
surviving, purchasing or succeeding entity, or (b) otherwise to adequately
provide for the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this Agreement,
in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.

12

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

7.    Establishment of Trust. In the event of a Potential Change in Control the
Company shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a trust (the "Trust")
for the benefit of the Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request of
Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all
Losses and Expenses which are actually paid or which Indemnitee reasonably
determines from time to time may be payable by the Company under this Agreement.
The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing
funding obligation shall be determined by the Reviewing Party, in any case in
which the Special Independent Counsel is involved. The terms of the Trust shall
provide that upon a Change in Control: (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the
principal thereof invaded without the written consent of the Indemnitee;
(ii) the trustee of the Trust shall advance, within twenty days of a request by
the Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee
hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the circumstances under which the
Indemnitee would be required to reimburse the Company under Section 4(e) of this
Agreement); (iii) the Company shall continue to fund the Trust from time to time
in accordance with the funding obligations set forth above; (iv) the trustee of
the Trust shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all Losses and Expenses for which
the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement;
and (v) all unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company upon a
final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final decision
from which there is no further right of appeal that the Indemnitee has been
fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee of the Trust
shall be chosen by the Indemnitee.        

13

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

8.    No 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, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined
that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.
9.    Nonexclusivity, Etc. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company's Governing
Documents or under the laws, as in effect from time to time, of the Company's
state of incorporation (such laws being the "Applicable State Laws"), any vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in
the Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in any other capacity by
holding such office, and shall continue after the Indemnitee ceases to serve the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, for so long as the
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Claim by reason of (or arising in part out
of) an Indemnifiable Event. To the extent that a change in the Applicable State
Laws (whether by statute or judicial decision or by reincorporation of the
Company in a different jurisdiction) permits greater indemnification by
agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company's Governing
Documents and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by
such change.
10.    Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains D&O Insurance,
Indemnitee, if an officer or director of the Company, shall be covered by such
policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent
of the coverage available for any director or officer of the Company.        

14

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

11.    Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do
everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution
of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to
enforce such rights.
12.    Partial Indemnity, Etc. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
Expenses and Losses of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or
in part to any Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein,
including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all Expenses incurred in connection therewith. In connection with any
Determination as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder
the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not
so entitled.
13.    Liability of Company. The Indemnitee agrees that neither the stockholders
nor the directors nor any officer, employee, representative or agent of the
Company shall be personally liable for the satisfaction of the Company's
obligations under this Agreement and the Indemnitee shall look solely to the
assets of the Company for satisfaction of any claims hereunder.
        

15

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

14.    Enforcement.
(a)    Indemnitee's right to indemnification and other rights under this
Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by Indemnitee only in the state or
Federal courts of the State of New York or of the then current State of
incorporation of the Company and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any
adverse Determination by the Company's Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel, the Special Independent Counsel or the Company's stockholders and no
such Determination shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to
be indemnified hereunder. In any such action the Company shall have the burden
of proving that indemnification is not required under this Agreement.
(b)    In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this
Agreement, or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and reasonable expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such
action, unless the court determines that each of the material assertions made by
Indemnitee as a basis for such action were not made in good faith or were
frivolous.
15.    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court to require the Company to do or to fail to do an act which
is in violation of applicable law, such provision (including any provision
within a single section, paragraph or sentence) shall be limited or modified in
its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a violation of law,
and, as so limited or modified, such provision and the balance of this Agreement
shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
        

16

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

16.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state in which the Company is incorporated at
the time any claim for indemnification is made hereunder applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state.
17.    Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York
and the State promulgating the Applicable State Laws at the time any claim for
indemnification hereunder is made 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 shall be brought only in the state
and Federal courts of the States indicated in this Section.
