    INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT

     

    


     

    THIS
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made
and entered into as of October [_______ __], 2010 by and among Derycz
Scientific, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and
[________] (“Indemnitee”).

     

    WITNESSETH
THAT:

     

    WHEREAS,
highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as
directors, officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with
adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against
inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service
to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

     

    WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has
determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the
Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense,
liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries
from certain liabilities.  Although the furnishing of such insurance
has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based
corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given
current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in
the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions.  At the
same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or
business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and
time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that
traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business
enterprise itself.  The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of
the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the
Company.  Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant
to Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”).  The certificate
of incorporation and the NRS expressly provide that the indemnification
provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that
contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board,
officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;

     

    WHEREAS,
the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have
increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

     

    WHEREAS,
the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and
retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company's
stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there
will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

     

    WHEREAS,
it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to
obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or
continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so
indemnified;

     

    WHEREAS,
this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the certificate of
incorporation and the bylaws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant
thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or
abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    WHEREAS,
Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company's
certificate of incorporation, bylaws and insurance as adequate in the present
circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as a director without adequate
protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such
capacity.  Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to
take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that
Indemnitee be so indemnified.

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a director
after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1. Indemnity of
Indemnitee.  The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and
indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be
amended from time to time.  In furtherance of the foregoing
indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:

     

    (a) Proceedings Other Than
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  Indemnitee
shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by
reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), the Indemnitee is, or
is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as
hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Company.  Pursuant to this Section 1(a),
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined),
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him, or on his behalf, in connection with such Proceeding
or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and
in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful.

     

    (b) Proceedings by or in the
Right of the Company.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the
rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by
reason of his Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made,
a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the
Company.  Pursuant to this Section 1(b),
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with
such Proceeding if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no
indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Company with respect to the matter claimed for
indemnification unless and to the extent that any court  of the State
of Nevada or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
that such indemnification may be made.

     

    (c) Indemnification for Expenses
of a Party Who is Successful on the Merits or
Otherwise.  Notwithstanding and in addition to any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his
Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law,
as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding
but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than
all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on
his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or
matter.  For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the
termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal,
with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such
claim, issue or matter.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2. Additional
Indemnity.  In addition to, and without regard to any
limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this
Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless
Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by
reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to
or participant in any Proceeding (including, without limitation, a Proceeding by
or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability
arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of
Indemnitee.  The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s
obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be
obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under
the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement)
to be unlawful.

     

    3. Contribution.

     

    (a) Whether or not the indemnification
provided in Sections
1 and 2
of this Agreement is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the
Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or
settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to
contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any
right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee.  The Company
shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which
the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final
release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

     

    (b) Without diminishing or impairing the
obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any
reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any
judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be
if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute to
the amount of expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the
relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or
employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the
one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which
such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion
determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to
conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the
Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than
Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand,
in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines
or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which the
Law may require to be considered.  The relative fault of the Company
and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee,
who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action,
suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their
actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the
degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which
their conduct is active or passive.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c) The Company hereby agrees to fully
indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may
be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

     

    (d) To the fullest extent permissible under
applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is
unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of
indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee,
whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be
paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to
an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed
fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in
order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and
Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to
such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its
directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with
such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

     

    4. Indemnification for Expenses
of a Witness or in Response to a Subpoena.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee, by reason of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, is a witness, or receives a subpoena, in any
Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against all Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith and
in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

     

    5. Advancement of
Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to
time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such
Proceeding.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence
the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or
accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any
Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.  Any advances and
undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be
unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to
repay such advances.

     

    6. Procedures and Presumptions
for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.  It is the
intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are
as favorable as may be permitted under the NRS and public policy of the State of
Nevada.  Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures
and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (a) To obtain indemnification under this
Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including
therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to
what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary
of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for
indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested
indemnification.

     

    (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for
indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) of this
Agreement, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of
the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the
Board:  (1) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as
hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum, (2) by a majority vote of
a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the
Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no
Disinterested Directors or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by
Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board,
a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (4) if so directed by
the Board, by the stockholders of the Company.

     

    (c) If the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) of this
Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section
6(c).  The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the
Board.  Indemnitee may, within 10 days after such written notice of
selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company, as the case may be, 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 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 reasonable written
objection is made, 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 20 days after
submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 6(a) of
this Agreement, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected
to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition any Court in the State of
Nevada or other 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 6(b) of this
Agreement.  The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and
expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in
connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) of this
Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident
to the procedures of this Section 6(c),
regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or
appointed.

     

    (d) In making a determination with respect
to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity
making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement.  Anyone seeking to overcome this
presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear
and convincing evidence.  Neither the failure of the Company
(including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create
a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (e) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have
acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on: (i) the records or books
of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined) (including, without
limitation, financial statements); (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by
the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties; (iii) the advice
of legal counsel for the Enterprise; or (iv) information or records given or
reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or
by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the
Enterprise.  In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to
act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be
imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification
under this Agreement.  Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6(e)
are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all
times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company.  Anyone seeking to
overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of
persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

     

    (f) If the person, persons or entity
empowered or selected under this Section 6 to
determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made
a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the
request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or
an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not
materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided,
however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to
exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making
such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith
requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or
information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6(f) shall
not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made
by the stockholders pursuant to item (4) of Section 6(b) of this
Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of
the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if
appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their
consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75)
days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special
meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt
for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such
purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such
determination is made thereat.

     

    (g) Indemnitee shall cooperate with the
person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or
entity 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.  Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board or
stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a
determination regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under
this Agreement.  Any costs or expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with
the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the
Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (h) The Company acknowledges that a
settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it
permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and
uncertainty.  In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to
which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse
judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such
action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other
consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding.  Anyone
seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the
burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

     

    (i) The termination of any Proceeding or of
any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not
(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely
affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with
respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     

    7. Remedies of
Indemnitee.

     

    (a) In the event that (i) a determination
is made pursuant to Section 6 of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this
Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made
pursuant to Section
6(b) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the
Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is
not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the
Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not
made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made
pursuant to Section
6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in
an appropriate court of the State of Nevada, or in any other court of competent
jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such
indemnification.  Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking
adjudication within one (1) year following the date on which Indemnitee first
has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section
7(a).  The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek
any such adjudication.

     

    (b) In the event that a determination shall
have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial
proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be
conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall
not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b) of this
Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c) If a determination shall have been made
pursuant to Section
6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding
commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i)
a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material
fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in
connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of
such indemnification under applicable law.

     

    (d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant
to this Section
7, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company
shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types
described in the definition of Expenses in this Agreement) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.

     

    (e) The Company shall be precluded from
asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and
enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by
all the provisions of this Agreement.  The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall
(within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request
therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to
Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action
brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the
Company under this Agreement or under any directors' and officers' liability
insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee
ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of
Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

     

    (f)            Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement
to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to
the final disposition of the Proceeding.

     

    8. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of
Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

     

    (a) The rights of indemnification as
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the
certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company, any agreement, a
vote of stockholders, a resolution of the Board or otherwise.  No
amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision of this
Agreement shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement
in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate
Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.  To the extent
that a change in the NRS, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits
greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the certificate
of incorporation, the bylaws of the Company 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.  No right or remedy herein
conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other right or remedy.

    (b) To the extent that the Company
maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for
directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of
any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, the
Company shall obtain coverage for Indemnitee under such policy or policies in
accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such
policy or policies.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a
claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company has director and
officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of
the commencement of such proceeding 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 the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies.

     

    (c) In the event of any 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 take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such
rights.

     

    (d) The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder
if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such
payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or
otherwise.

     

    (e) The Company's obligation to indemnify
or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as
indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise.

     

    9. Exception to Right of
Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the
Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in
connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

     

    (a) for which payment has actually been
made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity
provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any
insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or

     

    (b) for an accounting of profits made from
the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of Company securities
pursuant to Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar
provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c) subject to Section 7(d), in connection
with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee
(including, without limitation, any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding)
initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers,
employees or other indemnitees), unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding
(or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company
provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers
vested in the Company under applicable law.

     

    10. Duration of
Agreement.  All agreements and obligations of the Company
contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director of
the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter for (i) an additional
three (3) years or (ii) so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding
(or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 of this
Agreement) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he is acting or
serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred
for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement, whichever such
additional term is longer.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors (including, without limitation, any direct or indirect
successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses,
heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

     

    11. Security.  To
the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at
any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s
obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust
or other collateral.  Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee,
may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the
Indemnitee.

     

    12. Enforcement.

     

    (a) The Company expressly confirms and
agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations
imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the
Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as a director of the Company.

     

    (b) This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written
and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement.

     

    13. Definitions.  For
purposes of this Agreement:

     

    (a) “Corporate Status”

partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
that such person is or was serving at the express written request of the
Company.

     

    (b) “Disinterested
Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party
to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by
Indemnitee.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c) “Enterprise” means the
Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise that Indemnitee is or was serving at the
express written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary.

     

    (d) “Expenses” means all
reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of
experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding
costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other

prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating,
participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a
Proceeding.  Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in
connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without
limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond,
supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent.  Expenses,
however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the
amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

     

    (e) “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 Indemnitee in any matter
material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning
Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar
indemnification agreements), or (ii) 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 or Indemnitee in
an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.  The
Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to
above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims,
liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its
engagement pursuant hereto.

     

    (f) “Proceeding” means any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any
other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the
right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or
otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or
director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction
on his part while acting as an officer or director of the Company, or by reason
of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other Enterprise; in each case whether or
not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or
expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this
Agreement; but excluding any such proceeding initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant
to Section 7 of
this Agreement to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

     

    14. Severability.  The
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall in no
way affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.  In the event any
provision of this Agreement conflicts with any applicable law, such provision
shall be deemed modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the
extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

    15. Modification and
Waiver.  No supplement, modification, termination or amendment
of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this
Agreement (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

Indemnitee.  Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company
in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation,
subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any
Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered
hereunder.  The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement
or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially
prejudices the Company.

     

    17. Notices.  All
notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
