                    who either were directors at the beginning of the period or
                    whose election or nomination for election was previously so
                    approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority

                    consolidation of the Company with any other corporation,

                    prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
                    outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of
                    the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power

                    substantially all the Company's assets.

          (b)  Claim: any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
               proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, whether instituted
               by or in the right of the Company or any other party, that
               Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution

               corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan,
               trust or other entity, or by reason of anything done or not done
               by Indemnitee in any such capacity.

          (e)  Independent Legal Counsel: an attorney or firm of attorneys,
               selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 3, who
               shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or
               Indemnitee within the last two years (other than with respect to
               matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement,
               or of other indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).

          (f)  Reviewing Party: any appropriate person or body consisting of a
               member or members of the Board or any other person or body

     2.   Basic Indemnification Arrangement.

          (a)  In the event Indemnitee was, 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 whole or in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the
               Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent
               permitted by law as soon as practicable but in any event no later
               than fifteen (15) days after written demand is presented to the
               Company, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines,
               penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
               assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with
               or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or
               amounts paid in settlement) of such Claim and the Company will
               pay Indemnitee for any and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
               connection with a Claim prior to final disposition of the Claim,
               to the fullest extent permitted by law but without requiring any
               preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement of
               Indemnitee to indemnification, as soon as practicable, but in any
               event within two (2) business days, after a request by
               Indemnitee; provided, however, that

               (i)  except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification,
                    the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee
                    (or Indemnitee's heirs, executors, administrators or
                    personal representatives) in connection with a proceeding
                    (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such
                    proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to
                    by the Board and


                                        3



<PAGE>


               (ii) to the extent permitted by law, no indemnification shall be
                    made with respect to Indemnitee's conduct prior to the
                    Effective Date if such conduct is finally adjudicated by a
                    court of law of competent jurisdiction to have involved
                    willful misconduct or gross negligence.

          (b)  Subject to such bonds or other provisions for securing repayment,
               if any, as may be determined to be appropriate by (i) the Board,
               (ii) if more than half of the members of the Board are involved
               in a Claim, by a majority vote of a committee of one or more
               members of the Board who are not parities to such Claim, even if
               less than a quorum or (iii) if directed by the Board, by
               Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion, if so requested
               by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance (within two (2) business
               days of such request) any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an
               "Expense Advance").

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary,

               (i)  the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) hereof
                    shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party
                    shall not have determined that Indemnitee would not be
                    permitted to be entitled to indemnification under this
                    Agreement, and

               (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance
                    pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof shall be subject to the
                    condition that the Company shall have received an
                    undertaking from Indemnitee to reimburse the Company (and
                    Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all
                    such amounts theretofore paid if, when and to the extent
                    that Indemnitee shall be adjudicated or determined not to be
                    entitled to indemnification under this Agreement; provided,
                    however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter
                    commences legal proceedings in a court of competent
                    jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee
                    should be indemnified under this Agreement, any
                    determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee
                    would not be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement
                    shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to
                    reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final
                    judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to
                    which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or
                    lapsed). If there has not been a Change in Control, the
                    Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board, and if there
                    has been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be
                    the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 3
                    hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing
                    Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee
                    substantively would not be entitled to be indemnified in
                    whole or in part under this


                                       4



<PAGE>


                    Agreement, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence
                    litigation in any court having subject matter jurisdiction
                    thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial
                    determination by the court or challenging any such
                    determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof,
                    including the legal or factual bases therefore, and the
                    Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear
                    in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing
                    Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the
                    Company and Indemnitee.

     3.   Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in
          Control of the Company then with respect to all matters thereafter
          arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and
          Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement,
          provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or provision
          of the Company's By-laws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims
          for Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek legal advice only
          from Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by
          the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such
          counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the
          Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee
          would be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement. The Company
          agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent
          Legal Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel
          against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims,
          liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement
          or its engagement pursuant hereto.

     4.   Indemnification for Additional Expenses. The Company shall indemnify
          Indemnitee against any and all reasonable expenses (including
          attorneys' fees) and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within two
          (2) business days of such request) advance such expenses to
          Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
          action brought in good faith by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or
          advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any
          other agreement, provision of the Company's Certificate of
          Incorporation or provision of the Company's By-laws now or hereafter
          in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii)
          recovery 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,
          advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

     5.   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, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid
          in settlement 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


                                       5



<PAGE>


          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 an
          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.

     6.   Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing
          Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
          indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company and
          the burden of persuasion shall be by clear and convincing evidence, to
          establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

     7.   No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of
          any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement
          (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea
          of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not 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. In addition,
          neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a
          determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard
          of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination
          by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of
          conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of
          legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination
          that Indemnitee should be indemnified under this Agreement shall be a
          defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee
          has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any
          particular belief.

     8.   Nonexclusivity, Etc. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall not
          be exclusive of any right which Indemnitee may have or hereafter
          acquire under any statute, provision of the Company's Certificate of
          Incorporation, provision of the Company's By-laws, agreement, vote of
          stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise; provided,
          however, that in the event any provision of this Agreement in any
          respect conflicts with the terms of the Company's Certificate of
          Incorporation or By-laws or any other agreement between the Company or
          any of its subsidiaries and Indemnitee, then the provision which is
          more favorable to Indemnitee shall govern.

     9.   Liability Insurance. Any reductions to the amount of director and
          officer liability coverage maintained by the Company as of the date
          hereof shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors to
          the extent Indemnitee is an officer or director of the Company or a
          subsidiary of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy
          or policies, in accordance with its or their terms. The Company must
          maintain with the coverage amount to be determined by the Board,
          unless Board determines such insurance is not reasonably available
          because of high premium costs.

     10.  Amendments, Etc. No supplement, modification 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
          hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a
          continuing waiver.

     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 take all reasonable actions (at the Company's expense) to secure
          such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to
          enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     12.  Certain Amendments; Enforcement.

          (a)  In the event the Company enters into an indemnification agreement
               with another director or officer, as the case may be, containing
               terms more favorable to the Indemnitee than the terms contained
               herein (and absent special circumstances justifying more
               favorable terms), Indemnitee shall be afforded the benefit of
               such more favorable terms and such more favorable terms shall be
               deemed incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in full
               herein. Promptly following the execution thereof, the Company
               shall

               (i)  send a copy of the agreement containing more favorable terms
                    to Indemnitee, and

               (ii) prepare, execute and deliver to Indemnitee an amendment to
                    this Agreement containing such more favorable terms.

          (b)  The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered
               into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the
               Company hereunder to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of
               the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon
               this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.

     13.  No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this
          Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made
          against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually
          received payment (under any insurance policy, provision of the
          Company's Certificate of Incorporation, By-law or otherwise) of the
          amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

     14.  Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to

          consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business
          and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, executors and personal
          and legal representatives. All agreements and obligations of the
          Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee
          is an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
          (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
          officer, employee or agent of another entity) and shall continue
          thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Claim (or any
          proceeding under Section 4 hereof) by reason of his acting in such
          capacity, whether or not Indemnitee 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. This Agreement
          shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to
          serve as an officer, director or member of management of the Company
          or of any other entity at the Company's request.

     15.  Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in
          the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision
          within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of
          competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable
          in any respect, and the validity and enforceability of any such
          provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
          hereof shall not be in any way impaired and shall remain enforceable
          to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     16.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
          enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
          applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state without
          giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.
