                with the
                Executive’s position at Coda Octopus, or any other action by Coda Octopus
                which results in a substantial diminution or other substantive adverse
                change in the Executive’s duties or responsibilities, including, but not
                limited to, a substantial diminution in the Executive’s title as set forth
                in Section 2 hereof; (ii) a requirement that the Executive work
                principally from a location outside the 50 mile radius from Coda
                Octopus’s
                address first written above, without prior agreement with the Executive;
                (iii) Coda Octopus’s failure to pay the Executive any Base Salary or other
                compensation to which he becomes entitled, other than an inadvertent
                failure which is remedied by Coda Octopus within 30 days after receipt
                of
                written notice thereof from the Executive (or ten days for failure
                to pay
                Base Salary); (iv) Coda Octopus’s failure to honor the initial equity
                award granted pursuant to Section 4(e), if applicable; (v) any reduction
                in the Executive’s aggregate Base Salary and any involuntary reduction in
                the Executive’s other compensation taken as a whole, excluding any
                reductions caused by the failure to achieve performance targets;
                or (vi)
                Coda Octopus’s material breach of any of its other material obligations
                under this Agreement. “Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) Executive
                reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason” event has
                occurred; (ii) Executive notifies Coda Octopus in writing of the
                occurrence of the Good Reason event; (iii) Executive cooperates in
                good
                faith with Coda Octopus’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days
                following such notice, to modify Executive’s employment situation in a
                manner acceptable to Executive and Coda Octopus; and (iv) notwithstanding
                such efforts, one or more of the Good Reason events continues to
                exist and
                has not been modified in a manner acceptable to Executive. If Coda
                Octopus
                cures the Good Reason event in a manner acceptable to Executive during
                the
                30 day period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have
                occurred.

              Executive’s
                Death or Disability.
                The Executive’s employment shall terminate immediately upon his death or,
                upon written notice as set forth below, his Disability. As used in
                this
                Agreement, “Disability” shall mean such physical or mental impairment as
                would render the Executive eligible to receive benefits under the
                long-term disability insurance policy or plan then made available
                by Coda
                Octopus to the Executive. If the Employment Period is terminated
                by reason
                of the Executive’s Disability, either party shall give 30 days’ advance
                written notice to that effect to the
                other.

                “Date of Termination” shall mean: (A) if Executive’s employment is
                terminated by his death, the date of his death; (B) if Executive’s
                employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 5(d),
                90
                days after the date on which a notice of termination is given; (C)
                if
                Executive’s employment is terminated by Coda Octopus for Cause under
                Section 5(a), the date on which notice of termination is given; (D)
                if
                Executive’s employment is terminated under Section 5(b), 90 days after the
                date on which a notice of termination is given; and (E) if Executive’s
                employment is terminated by Executive under Section 5(c), 30 days
                after
                the date on which a notice of Good Reason is
                given.

              General.
                Regardless of the reason for any termination of this Agreement, the
                Executive (or the Executive’s estate if the Employment Period ends on
                account of the Executive’s death) shall be entitled to: (i) any unpaid
                portion of his Base Salary through the Date of Termination unless
                otherwise stated below; (ii) reimbursement for any outstanding reasonable
                expense he has incurred hereunder; (iii) continued insurance benefits
                to
                the extent required by law; (iv) payment of any vested but unpaid
                rights
                as required independent of this Agreement by the terms of any bonus
                or
                other incentive pay or stock plan, or any other employee benefit
                plan or
                program of Coda Octopus; and (v) except in the case of “Termination by
                Coda Octopus for Cause,” any bonus or incentive compensation that was
                approved but not paid. The amount payable under this Section 6(a)
                shall be
                paid to the Executive or the Executive’s estate (in the event of the
                Executive’s death) in a single lump sum no later than 30 days after the
                Date of Termination.

              Termination
                by Coda Octopus for Cause or by Executive without Good
                Reason.
                If
                Coda Octopus terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause or the
                Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Executive
                shall have no rights or claims against Coda Octopus except to receive
                the
                payments and benefits described in Section 6(a). Coda Octopus shall
                have
                no further obligations to Executive except as otherwise expressly
                provided
                under this Agreement, provided any such termination shall not adversely
                affect or alter Executive’s rights under any employee benefit plan of Coda
                Octopus in which Executive, at the Date of Termination, has a vested
                interest, unless otherwise provided in such employee benefit plan
                or any
                agreement or other instrument attendant thereto. In addition, all
                vested
                but unexercised stock options held by Executive as of the Date of
                Termination must be exercised by Executive within three months following
                the Date of Termination or by the end of the option term, if earlier.
                All
                other stock-based grants and awards held by Executive shall vest
                or be
                canceled upon the Date of Termination in accordance with their
                terms.

              Termination
                by Coda Octopus without Cause or by Executive for Good
                Reason.
                Except as provided in Section 6(d), if Coda Octopus terminates the
                Executive’s employment without Cause, or the Executive terminates his
                employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 5(c), the Executive
                shall
                be entitled to receive, in addition to the items referenced in Section
                6(a), the following:

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (i)
                

            	
              a
                lump sum payment equal to one times the sum of (x) the Executive’s then
                current Base Salary and (y) the greater of (A) the average of the
                Executive’s bonuses (taking into account a payment of no bonus or a
                payment of a bonus of $0) with respect to the preceding three fiscal
                years
                (or the period of the Executive’s employment if shorter), (B) the
                Executive’s bonus with respect to the preceding fiscal year and (C) in the
                event that such termination of employment occurs before the first
                anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Executive’s annualized projected
                bonus for such year (the “Severance Payment”). The Severance Payment shall
                be paid to the Executive within 60 days following the Date of
                Termination;

                payment by Coda Octopus for life, health and disability insurance
                coverage
                and salary and other benefits for the Executive and the Executive’s spouse
                and dependents for one year following the Date of Termination to
                the same
                extent that Coda Octopus paid for such coverage immediately prior
                to the
                termination of the Executive’s employment and subject to the eligibility
                requirements and other terms and conditions of such insurance coverage,
                provided that if any such insurance coverage shall become unavailable
                during the one year period, Coda Octopus thereafter shall be obliged
                only
                to pay to the Executive an amount which, after reduction for income
                and
                employment taxes, is equal to the employer premiums for such insurance
                for
                the remainder of such severance period;
                and

                issued
                to the Executive by Coda Octopus. Each such stock option must be
                exercised
                by the Executive within 180 days after the Date of Termination or
                the date

                satisfactory to Coda Octopus in the reasonable exercise of its discretion,
                releasing Coda Octopus, its affiliates including Coda Octopus, and

                a
                Change in Control, Coda Octopus (or its successor) terminates the
                Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 5(a) or the
                Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section
                5(c), or (y) the Executive, by notice given under this clause (y)
                of this
                Section 6(d) during the 90 day period commencing on the three-month
                anniversary of the date of the Change in Control (the “Notice Period”),
                terminates his employment for any reason, which termination shall
                be
                effective on the last day of the Notice Period, the Executive shall
                be
                entitled to receive, in addition to the items referenced in Section
                6(a),
                the following:

            


    

     

    
      	
            	(i)	
              the

            	(ii)	
              Tax
                Gross-up Payment, as follows:

            


    

     

    (A)
       In
      the event that any payment made pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof or any insurance
      benefits, accelerated vesting, pro-rated bonus or other benefit payable to
      the
      Executive (under this Agreement or otherwise), (1) constitute “parachute
      payments” within the meaning of Section 280G (as it may be amended or replaced)
      of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (“Parachute
      Payments”) and (2) are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 (as it
      may be amended or replaced) of the Code (“the Excise Tax”), then Coda Octopus
      shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Amount”) such
      that the net benefits retained by the Executive after the deduction of the
      Excise Tax (including interest and penalties) and any federal, or local income
      and employment taxes (including interest and penalties) upon the Gross-Up Amount
      shall be equal to the benefits that would have been delivered hereunder had
      the
      Excise Tax not been applicable and the Gross-Up Amount not been
      paid.

     

    (B)
       For
      purposes of determining the Gross-Up Amount: (1) Parachute Payments provided
      under arrangements with the Executive other than under any bonus or other
      incentive pay or stock plan or program of Coda Octopus (collectively, the
“Plan”) and this Agreement, if any, shall be taken into account in determining
      the total amount of Parachute Payments received by the Executive so that the
      amount of excess Parachute Payments that are attributable to provisions of
      the
      Plan and Agreement is maximized; and (2) the Executive shall be deemed to pay
      federal, state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation
      for the Executive’s taxable year in which the Parachute Payments are includable
      in the Executive’s income for purposes of federal, state and local income
      taxation.

    (C)
       The
      determination of whether the Excise Tax is payable, the amount thereof, and
      the
      amount of any Gross-Up Amount shall be made in writing in good faith by a
      nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm selected
      by
      Coda Octopus and approved by the Executive, such approval not to be unreasonably
      withheld (the “Accounting Firm”). If such determination is not finally accepted
      by the Internal Revenue Service (or state or local revenue authorities) on
      audit, then appropriate adjustments shall be computed based upon the amount
      of
      Excise Tax and any interest or penalties so determined; provided, however,
      that
      the Executive in no event shall owe Coda Octopus any interest on any portion
      of
      the Gross-Up Amount that is returned to Coda Octopus. For purposes of making
      the
      calculations required by this Section 6(d)(v), to the extent not otherwise
      specified herein, reasonable assumptions and approximations may be made with
      respect to applicable taxes and reasonable, good faith interpretations of the
      Code may be relied upon. Coda Octopus and the Executive shall furnish such
      information and documents as may be reasonably requested in connection with
      the
      performance of the calculations under this Section 6(d)(v). Coda Octopus shall
      bear all costs incurred in connection with the performance of the calculations
      contemplated by this Section 6(d)(v). Coda Octopus shall pay the Gross-Up Amount
      to the Executive no later than 60 days following receipt of the Accounting
      Firm’s determination of the Gross-Up Amount.

    (A)
       The
      ownership or acquisition (whether by a merger contemplated by Section
      6(d)(vii)(B) below, or otherwise) by any Person (other than a Qualified
      Affiliate), in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated
      transactions, of Beneficial Ownership of more than 50% of (1) Coda Octopus’s
      outstanding common stock (the “Common Stock”) or (2) the combined voting power
      of Coda Octopus’s outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the
      election of directors (the “Outstanding Voting Securities”);

     

    (B)
       The
      merger or consolidation of Coda Octopus with or into any other Person other
      than
      a Qualified Affiliate, if, immediately following the effectiveness of such
      merger or consolidation, Persons who did not Beneficially Own Outstanding Voting
      Securities immediately before the effectiveness of such merger or consolidation
      directly or indirectly Beneficially Own more than 50% of the outstanding shares
      of voting stock of the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation
      (including for such purpose in both the numerator and denominator, shares of
      voting stock issuable upon the exercise of then outstanding rights (including
      conversion rights), options or warrants) (“Resulting Voting Securities”),
      provided that, for purposes of this Section 6(d)(vii)(B), if a Person who
      Beneficially Owned Outstanding Voting Securities immediately before the merger
      or consolidation Beneficially Owns a greater number of the Resulting Voting
      Securities immediately after the merger or consolidation than the number the
      Person received solely as a result of the merger or consolidation, such greater
      number will be treated as held by a Person who did not Beneficially Own
      Outstanding Voting Securities before the merger or consolidation, and provided
      further that such merger or consolidation would also constitute a Change in
      Control if it would satisfy the foregoing test if rights (including conversion
      rights), options and warrants were not included in the calculation;

      approval, other than any individual who assumes office initially as a result
      of
      an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal
      of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents

              (i)
                

            	
              If
                the Executive’s employment terminates because of his death, any unvested
                portion of any stock option and any restricted stock previously issued
                to
                the Executive by Coda Octopus shall become fully vested as of the
                date of
                his death and the Executive’s estate or other legal representatives shall
                have 360 days from the Date of Termination or the remaining option
                term,
                if earlier, to exercise all stock options granted to the Executive.
                In
                addition, the Executive’s estate shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata
                share of any performance bonus to which he otherwise would have been
                entitled for the fiscal year in which his death occurs. For a period
                of
                one (1) year following the Date of Termination, Coda Octopus shall
                pay
                such health insurance premiums as may be necessary to allow Executive’s
                spouse and dependents to receive health insurance coverage substantially
                similar to coverage they received prior to the Date of Termination.
                In
                addition to the foregoing, any payments to which Executive’s spouse,
                beneficiaries, or estate may be entitled under any employee benefit
                plan
                shall also be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan or
                arrangement. Such payments, in the aggregate, shall fully discharge
                Coda
                Octopus’s obligations hereunder.

              In
                the event the Executive’s employment terminates due to his Disability, as
                defined in any long-term disability insurance policy or plan provided
                to
                him by Coda Octopus (“Disability Insurance”), he shall be entitled to
                receive his Base Salary until such date as he shall commence receiving
                disability benefits pursuant to any Disability Insurance. In addition,
                as
                of the effective date of the termination notice specified in Section
                5(d),
                the Executive shall vest in any unvested portion of any stock option
                and
                any restricted shares previously granted to him by Coda Octopus and
                the
                Executive shall have 360 days from the Date of Termination or the
                remaining option term, if earlier, to exercise all stock options
                granted
                to the Executive. The Executive also shall be entitled to receive
                a
                pro-rata share of any performance bonus to which he otherwise would
                have
                been entitled for the fiscal year in which his employment terminates
                due
                to his Disability. For a period of one year following the Date of
                Termination, Coda Octopus shall pay such health insurance premiums
                as may
                be necessary to allow Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents to
                receive health insurance coverage substantially similar to coverage
                they
                received prior to the Date of Termination.

    (A) All
      Inventions that the Executive may learn, have access to, have a part in
      developing, first conceive, or first reduce to practice (i) during employment
      with Coda Octopus, whether or not during normal work time or at Coda Octopus’

      Agreement. Failure on the part of Coda Octopus at any time to require the
      Executive to sell, assign, transfer and set over the entire right, title and

      rights thereto.

     

    (C) The
      obligations of this section shall not apply to any invention developed entirely
      on the Executive's own time without the use of any Coda Octopus equipment,

                Executive’s duties to Coda Octopus hereunder). In addition, the Executive
                shall not (i) disclose or disseminate the Proprietary Information

                Information from Coda Octopus’s premises without a valid business purpose;

                other
                storage media) containing the Proprietary Information and Inventions
                at
                any time upon request by Coda Octopus during his employment and
                immediately upon termination of his employment. If requested by Coda
                Octopus, the Executive will enter into an Assignment of Intellectual
                Property.

                any
                service then offered by Coda
                Octopus.

              Non-Solicitation
                of Employees.
                During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or
                indirectly, hire or attempt to hire or cause any business, other
                than a
                Qualified Affiliate, to hire any person who is then or was at any
                time
                during the preceding six months an employee of Coda Octopus and who
                is at
                the time of such hire or attempted hire, or was at the date of such
                employee’s separation from Coda Octopus a vice president, senior vice
                president or executive vice president or other senior executive employee
                of Coda Octopus.

              Acknowledgment.
                The Executive acknowledges that he will acquire much Proprietary
                Information concerning the past, present and future business of Coda
                Octopus as the result of his employment, as well as access to the
                relationships between Coda Octopus and Coda Octopus and their clients
                and
                employees. The Executive further acknowledges that the business of
                Coda
                Octopus is very competitive and that competition by him in that business
                during his employment, or after his employment terminates, would
                severely
                injure Coda Octopus. The Executive understands that the restrictions
                contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and are required for Coda
                Octopus’s legitimate protection, and do not unduly limit his ability to
                earn a livelihood.

              Rights
                and Remedies upon Breach.
                The Executive acknowledges that any breach by him of any of the provisions
                of Sections 7 and 8 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) would result in
                irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide
                an
                adequate remedy. Therefore, if the Executive breaches, or threatens
                to
                commit a breach of, any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants,
                Coda Octopus shall have the following rights and remedies, each of
                which
                rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally
                enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition
                to,
                and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Coda
                Octopus under law or in equity (including, without limitation, the
                recovery of damages):

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (i)
                

            	
              The
                right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced
                (without posting bond and without the need to prove damages) by any
                court
                of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right
                to an
                entry against the Executive of restraining orders and injunctions
                (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against violations,
                threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such
                covenants; and

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (ii)
                

            	
              The
                right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay
                over to
                Coda Octopus and its affiliates all compensation, profits, monies,
                accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”) derived
                or received by him as the result of any transactions constituting
                a breach
                of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Executive shall account for
                and pay
                over such Benefits to Coda Octopus and, if applicable, its affected
                affiliates.

            


    

     

    
      	
              (f)
                

            	
              If
                any court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction determines
                that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is
                unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such
                provision, then, after such determination has become final and
                non-appealable, the duration or scope of such provision, as the case
                may
                be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and,
                in
                its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall
                be
                enforced.

                any obligation of a contractual or other nature to any person, business
                or

              Coda
                Octopus, in its sole discretion, may bring an action in any court
                of
                competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive relief and such other relief
                as
                Coda Octopus shall elect to enforce the Restrictive Covenants. If
                the
                courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive
                Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of breadth of scope or otherwise
                it is the intention of Coda Octopus and the Executive that such
                determination not bar or in any way affect Coda Octopus’s right, or the
                right of any of its affiliates, to the relief provided in Section
                8(e)
                above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical
                scope of such Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive
                Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such Restrictive
                Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose,
                severable, diverse and independent covenants, subject, where appropriate,
                to the doctrine of res judicata. The parties hereby agree to waive
                right
                to a trial by jury for any and all disputes hereunder (whether or
                not
                relating to the Restrictive
                Covenants).

              In
                accordance with Appendix C to this Agreement, Coda Octopus will indemnify
                the Executive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
                against
                all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by the Executive,
                including the cost of legal counsel selected and retained by the
Executive
                in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive
                may be made a party by reason of the Executive being or having been
                an
                officer, director, or employee of Coda Octopus or any subsidiary
                or

                in
                advance of the final disposition of any proceeding all such amounts
                incurred or suffered.

              Litigation
                and Regulatory Cooperation.
                During and after Executive’s employment, Executive shall reasonably
                cooperate with Coda Octopus in the defense or prosecution of any
                claims or
                actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against
                or
                on behalf of Coda Octopus which relate to events or occurrences that
                transpired while Executive was employed by Coda Octopus; provided,
                however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely
                affect
                Executive or expose Executive to an increased probability of civil
                or
                criminal litigation. Executive’s cooperation in connection with such
                claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available
                to
                meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as
                a
                witness on behalf of Coda Octopus at mutually convenient times. During
                and
                after Executive’s employment, Executive also shall cooperate fully with
                Coda Octopus in connection with any investigation or review of any
                federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation
                or
                review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive
                was employed by Coda Octopus. Coda Octopus shall also provide Executive
                with compensation on an hourly basis (to be derived from the sum
                of his
                Base Salary and average annual incentive compensation) for requested
                litigation and regulatory cooperation that occurs after his termination
                of
                employment, and reimburse Executive for all costs and expenses incurred
                in
                connection with his performance under this Section 11(a), including,
                but
                not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
                costs.

    INDEMNITY
      AGREEMENT

     

    This
      Agreement is made as of the 1st
      day of
      May 2006, by and between CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
      “Corporation”), and (the “Indemnitee”), a Director and/or Officer of the
      Corporation (collectively the "Parties").

     

    WHEREAS,
      it is
      essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as Directors and Officers
      the
      most capable persons available, and

     

    WHEREAS,
      the
      substantial increase in corporate litigation subjects Directors and Officers
      to
      expensive litigation risks at the same time that the availability of Directors’
and Officers’ liability insurance has been severely limited, and

     

    WHEREAS,
      it is
      now and has always been the express policy of the Corporation to indemnify
      its
      Directors and Officers so as to provide them with the maximum possible
      protection permitted by law, and

     

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Corporation does not regard the protection available to Indemnitee as adequate
      in the present circumstances, and realizes that Indemnitee may not be willing
      to
      serve as a Director and/or Officer without adequate protection, and the
      Corporation desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity;

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE,
      in
      consideration of Indemnitee’s service as a Director and/or Officer after the
      date hereof, the Parties agree as follows:

     

    
      	
              1.

            	
              Definitions.
                As used in this Agreement:

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (a)
                

            	
              The
                term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed
                action, suit or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of
                the
                Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative
                or investigative nature.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)
                

            	
              The
                term “Expenses” shall include, but is not limited to, expenses of
                investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals,
                damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf
                of
                Indemnitee, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any expenses of
                establishing a right to indemnification under this
                Agreement.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (c)
                

            	
              The
                terms “Director” and “Officer” shall include Indemnitee’s service at the
                request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
                of
                another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
                as well as a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation.
                

            


    

     

    
      	
              2.

            	
              Indemnity
                of Director or Officer.

                will
                pay on behalf of the Indemnitee all Expenses actually and reasonably
                incurred by Indemnitee because of any claim or claims made against
                him in
                a Proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director and/or
                Officer.

            


    

     

    
      	
              3.

            	
              Limitations
                on Indemnity.
                Corporation shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any
                payment of Expenses to the
                Indemnitee,

            	(a)	
              which
                payment it is prohibited by applicable law from paying as
                indemnity;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)
                

            	
              for
                which payment is actually made to the Indemnitee under an insurance
                policy, except in respect of any excess beyond the amount of payment
                under
                such insurance;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (c)
                

            	
              for
                which payment the Indemnitee is indemnified by Corporation otherwise
                than
                pursuant to this Agreement;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (d)
                

            	
              resulting
                from a claim decided in a Proceeding adversely to the Indemnitee
                based
                upon or attributable to the Indemnitee gaining in fact any personal
                profit
                or advantage to which he was not legally
                entitled;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (e)

            	
              resulting
                from a claim decided in a Proceeding adversely to the Indemnitee
                for an
                accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee
                of
                securities of Corporation within the meaning of Section 16(b) of
                the
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
                provisions of any state statutory law or common law;
                or

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (f)

            	
              brought
                about or contributed to by the dishonesty of the Indemnitee seeking
                payment hereunder; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee
                shall be indemnified under this Agreement as to any claims upon which
                suit
                may be brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on
                his
                part, unless it shall be decided in a Proceeding that he committed
                (i)
                acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) with actual dishonest
                purpose and intent, and (iii) which acts were material to the cause
                of
                action so adjudicated.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              For
                purposes of Sections 3 and 4, the phrase “decided in a Proceeding” shall
                mean a decision by a court, arbitrator(s), hearing officer or other
                judicial agent having the requisite legal authority to make such
                a
                decision, which decision has become final and from which no appeal
                or
                other review proceeding is
                permissible.

            


    

     

    
      	
              4.
                

            	
              Advance
                Payment of Costs.
                Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defending a claim against him
                in a
                Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation as incurred and in advance
                of
                the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that
                Expenses
                of defense need not be paid as incurred and in advance where the
                judicial
                agent of first impression has decided the Indemnitee is not entitled

                behalf, within thirty days after a written claim has been received
                by
                Corporation, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit
                against
                Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful
                in

                the
                execution of such documents necessary to enable Corporation effectively

                as practicable of any claim made against him for which indemnity
                will or
                could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to Corporation shall
                be given
                at its principal office and shall be directed to the Corporate Secretary
                (or such other address as Corporation shall designate in writing
                to the

                properly addressed, the date of such notice being the date postmarked.
                In
                addition, the Indemnitee shall give Corporation such information

                cooperation as it may reasonably
                require.
