     preparation and filing of the Registration Statement covering all or a part
     of the Units and in order to insure full compliance with the Securities Act

     to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person
     may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or under any other statute
     or at common law or otherwise insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
     expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or Are
     based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
     fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or
     supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state
     therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
     the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
     made, not misleading, and to reimburse the Company for any legal or other
     expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, or any such director, officer
     or controlling person in connection with investigating and defending any
     such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action; provided, however,
     that any such indemnification and reimbursement shall be available only to
     the extent that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
     omission was made by the Company upon and in conformity with written
     information furnished by the Noteholder expressly for use in the
     Registration Statement;

          (iii) To notify the Company promptly, in writing, of the commencement
     of any action against the Noteholder which is based upon an alleged act or
     omission, which, if proved, would result in the Company having to indemnify
     the Noteholder pursuant to Subparagraph (e) below, and if the Noteholder
     desires, the Company will assume the defense of such action including the
     employment of counsel and payment of all expenses. The Noteholder's
     omission to notify the Company promptly of the commencement of such action,
     if prejudicial to the ability of the Company to defend such action, shall
     relieve the Company of any liability to indemnify him under Subparagraph
     (e) below; and


                                        4
<PAGE>

     (e) (i) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Noteholder, and
each person, if any, who controls the Noteholder within the meaning of the Act,
against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, whether joint or
several, to which the Noteholder or such controlling person becomes subject,
under the Act, the 1934 Act or under any other statute or at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement covering the Exchanged Units, in any prospectus contained therein, or
in an amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and to reimburse the
Noteholder, and such controlling persons for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Noteholder, or such controlling persons in connection
with investigating and defending any such loss, claim, damage, expense,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
to indemnify in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
expense or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by the Noteholder or such
controlling person expressly for use in the Registration Statement;

          (ii) The Company agrees that, in the event it receives notice of the
     commencement of any action against it which is based upon an alleged act or
     omission which, if proved, would result in the Noteholder's having to
     indemnify the Company pursuant to subdivision (ii) of Paragraph 4(d) above,
     the Company will promptly notify the Noteholder in writing of the
     commencement of such action and permit the Noteholder, if he so desires, to
     participate in and assume the defense of such action with counsel
     satisfactory to him. The omission to notify the Noteholder promptly of the
     commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to his ability to defend
     such action, shall relieve him of any liability to indemnify the Company
     under Paragraph 4(d) above; and

          (iii) The Company further agrees that if the foregoing provisions
     contained in subdivision (i) of this Paragraph 4(e) are held to be
     unenforceable, the Noteholder or controlling person of the Noteholder may
     recover contribution from the Company in an amount which when


                                        5
<PAGE>

     added to contributions the Noteholder or controlling person has theretofore
     received or concurrently receives from officers and directors of the
     Company or controlling persons of the Company, will reimburse the
     Noteholder or controlling person for all losses, claims, damages, or
     liabilities and legal or other expenses; provided, however, that if the
     full amount of the contribution specified in this Paragraph 4(e) is not
     permitted by law, then the Noteholder or controlling person shall be
     entitled to a contribution from the Company and its officers, directors and
     controlling persons to the full extent permitted by law.
