         WHEREAS, JDA and SILVON now desire, in a spirit of cooperation, to

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
undertakings set forth herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration,
the sufficiency and receipt of which are acknowledged by the parties hereto, JDA
and SILVON agree as follows:

1.       AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENTS. Concurrent and as a condition to, this
Settlement Agreement, the Parties have entered into the following agreements
attached hereto as Exhibits A through E, which Exhibits shall be deemed to be

Addendum to Silvon Distribution Agreement.

2.       LICENSE AGREEMENT. JDA shall retain one-hundred percent (100%) of the
royalty and maintenance fees payable under the License Agreement until the full
amount of outstanding principal, accrued interest and all costs, fees and
expenses due under the Amended and Restated

Loan Agreement is fully repaid, and shall set those royalty and maintenance fees
off against: first, the accrued interest owing under the Note; and second, the
outstanding principal amount owing under the Note.

3.       DISMISSAL OF ARBITRATION. Contemporaneous with the execution of this
Settlement Agreement, counsel for SILVON and JDA shall verbally report the terms
of settlement to the Arbitrator Mark Crane, and thereafter SILVON shall file
this Settlement Agreement with the AAA, including a copy to Arbitrator Crane.
Thereafter, SILVON shall immediately dismiss the Arbitration with prejudice and
JDA shall immediately thereafter dismiss its Counterclaim without prejudice,
except that JDA acknowledges that the claims in the Arbitration against SILVON

or set-offs raised by Silvon in the Arbitration) to the enforcement by JDA of
the liabilities, obligations and agreements referred to in Paragraph 1 of this
Settlement Agreement, provided, however that SILVON and JDA agree that 100% of
the Royalties as defined in the License Agreement due to SILVON under the
License Agreement shall be retained by JDA and applied first against accrued
interest then due under the Note and then to outstanding principal then due

due to SILVON against the outstanding interest and principal as a result of such
application. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Settlement
Agreement or in any of the documents comprising the Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall preclude Silvon from

omission, other than fraud or a default under Sections 5(a), (b) and (c) of the
Amended and Restated Security Agreement by SILVON, or any of its parent

Releasees") shall be released from all claims, accusations, judgments,
penalties, demands, actions, causes of action, counterclaims, defenses, suits,
damages or liabilities that the JDA Releasors may have or claim to have had
against the Silvon Releasees, from the beginning of time to the Effective Date
whether known or unknown, which arise out of (i) the claims or defenses asserted
by JDA in the Arbitration and (ii) any of the documents comprising Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement As of the date of this Settlement Agreement, the JDA
Releasors release and discharge forever the Silvon Releasees from any and all
claims for attorneys fees or other costs (other than those incorporated into the
principal amount of the Note) incurred by JDA relating to the Arbitration.

7.       SILVON RELEASE. SILVON, on its own behalf and on behalf of its

8.      GOVERNING LAW AND RETENTION OF JURISDICTION. The terms and conditions
of this Settlement Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws
of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to its internal principles of
conflicts of laws and may not be superseded, amended or modified except by
written agreement between JDA and SILVON. Furthermore, the Parties agree that
the AAA shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters relating to this
Settlement Agreement, the License Agreement and the Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement, and all disputes hereunder shall be resolved first by Arbitrator
Crane; provided that if Arbitrator Crane is unavailable or unwilling to act as
Arbitrator, then by a single panelist mutually agreed upon by the parties. If
the Parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within 5 business days after either
party's request for appointment of an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be
appointed by the AAA.

9.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. JDA and SILVON have incorporated all covenants,
commitments and understandings on which they have relied in entering into this

                              SILVON SOFTWARE, INC.

                  AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
                  --------------------------------------------

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Silvon Software, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay to the order of JDA Software Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (and any permitted successor(s) and assign(s) under Section 8
hereof, the "Holder"), the principal amount of Two Million Eight Hundred
Sixty-One Thousand One Hundred Ninety-Six and 78/100 Dollars ($2,861,196.78)
together with interest thereon calculated from the date hereof in accordance
with the provisions of this Secured Promissory Note (this "Note"). Terms not
defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Secured Loan Agreement
dated as of May 8, 2001 between the Company and the Holder as the same may have
been or may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time (as amended, the "Loan Agreement"). Neither the foregoing
reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provisions thereof shall affect or
impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Company to pay the
principal and interest on this Note as provided herein.

     1.  Loan Agreement. This Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (as
amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Note") is the Note called
for by the Loan Agreement. The Holder is entitled to the benefits of, and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The
benefits and rights of the Holder are also subject to certain conditions and
restrictions also set forth in the Loan Agreement, which conditions and
restrictions may be enforced against the Holder.

     2.  Maturity. The outstanding principal under this Note shall be due and
payable on March 30, 2005 (the "Maturity Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable upon any Event of
Default (as defined in the Security Agreement referred to in Section 3 hereof).

     3.  Security Interest and Collateral. This Note is secured by a first
priority security interest in all of the Company's assets pursuant to the terms
of the Amended and Restated Security Agreement of even date herewith by and
between the Company and the Holder (as amended, the "Security Agreement").

<PAGE>

     4.  Interest.

         (a)   The principal of this Note from time to time outstanding shall
bear interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note outstanding from time
to time on a monthly basis from the date hereof (compounded monthly) at the rate
of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate of interest then allowed
by law; provided, however, that upon an Event of Default and while that Event of
Default is continuing, the interest shall be the lesser of (i) twenty-one
percent (21%) or (ii) the highest rate of interest then allowed by law. All
interest on this Note shall be due and payable monthly on the first day of each
month, with the first interest payment due December 1, 2004.

         (b)   Following an Event of Default, the Company shall pay to the
Holder on demand all reasonable expenses and expenditures (including, but not
limited to, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred or paid by
the Holder in exercising or protecting its interests, rights and remedies under
this Note, plus interest thereon at the lesser of (i) twenty-one percent (21%)
per annum or (ii) the highest rate of interest then allowed by law from the date
of such demand by the Holder until paid.

         (c)   All agreements between Company and Holder, whether now existing
or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that
in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by conversion, acceleration of
the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be
paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to
be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any
provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing, securing or
pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the
holder of this Note shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed
interest by applicable law under this Note or any other document evidencing,
securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise an
amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of Company to
Holder relating to this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or if such
excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such
other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of
Company to Holder, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful
rate. Company and Holder shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium
rather than as interest, (ii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total
amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the
actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout
the term thereof and/or (iii) allocate interest between portions of such
indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate
greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph
shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements
between Company and Holder.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     5.  Payment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense (other than as
provided in Section 6 below) at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to
time designate in writing to the Company; provided that all payments hereunder
shall be made notwithstanding the Company's audit right under Section 14 of the
Distribution Agreement (as defined below). Payment shall be credited first to
attorney fees then due and payable, second to accrued interest then due and
payable, and the remainder applied to principal, except in the case of a new
investment under Section 7, which shall first be credited to principal and only
when the principal is completely paid shall any such amount be applied to
accrued interest. Prepayment of this Note may be made at any time, and from time
to time, without penalty or premium.

     6.  Royalties. 100% of the Royalties (as defined in the Distribution
Agreement dated as of May 8, 2001 between the Company and the Holder (as
amended, the "Distribution Agreement")) due to the Company under the
Distribution Agreement shall be retained by the Holder and applied first against
accrued interest then due and then to outstanding principal hereunder.

     7.  New Money. If the Company shall either receive an investment by a third
party investor or borrow money from a bank or other third party lender, 50% of
such investment or loan must be paid by the Company to the Holder to reduce the
outstanding principal and interest hereunder.

     8.  Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Note
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
assigns of the parties. The obligations of the Company or the Holder under this
Note may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other party
hereto which may be given or denied in their sole and absolute discretion.

     9.  Governing Law. This Note and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed,
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law thereof.

    10.  Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Note shall be in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the
party to be notified; (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile or electronic
transmission if received during normal business hours of the recipient on a
business day, or if not, then on the next business day; or (iii) one (1)
business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier,
specifying next business day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All
communications shall be sent to the Company and the Holder at the address as set
forth on the signature page hereof or at such other address as the Company or
the Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other
parties hereto.

    11.  Lost Documents. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or
any Note exchanged for it, and an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to
the Company (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and
cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Company, at its own expense, will make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new
Note of like tenor and unpaid principal amount and dated as of the date to which
interest has been paid on the unpaid principal amount of the Note in lieu of
which such new Note is made and delivered.

    12.  Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended or waived
only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. Any waiver by the
Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not
operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision
or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company
or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or
more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the
right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term
of this Note.

    13.  Waiver. The Company waives presentment and demand for payment, notice
of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of nonpayment and notice of
acceleration of intent of acceleration of this Note. The right to plead any and
all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demands hereunder or under the
Security Agreement is hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by law,
regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission as or with
respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.

    14.  Invalidity. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any
provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless
remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. In such an event, the
parties will in good faith attempt to effect the business agreement represented
by such invalidated term to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    15.  Attorneys' Fees. If an Event of Default occurs, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive and the Company (or its assignee) agrees to pay all costs of
collection incurred by the Holder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees for consultation, suit and/or settlement.

    16.  Remedies. The remedies of the Holder hereunder are governed by the
terms hereof and the Security Agreement.

    17.  Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note. This Amended and Restated
Secured Promissory Note shall be in replacement of and in substitution for that
certain Secured Promissory Note dated May 8, 2001 in the original principal
amount of $3,500,000.00, made by the Company and payable to the order of JDS
Software Group, Inc. (the "Original Note"). The indebtedness outstanding as of
the date hereof evidenced by the Original Note is continuing indebtedness, and
nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a payment, settlement or novation
of the Original Note, or to release or otherwise adversely affect any lien,
mortgage or security interest securing such indebtedness or any rights of the
Holder against any guarantor, surety or other party primarily or secondarily
liable for such indebtedness.

        (c)  The Collateral shall remain in Debtor's possession or control at
all times at its chief executive office at Debtor's risk of loss until (i) sold,

other consideration received for such Collateral or (ii) as authorized in
writing by the Secured Party.

        (d)  Until an Event of Default which has not been cured, Debtor may use
the Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Security
Agreement or with the terms or conditions of any policy of insurance thereon and
may also sell, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in the ordinary
course of business. The Secured Party's security interest shall attach to all
proceeds of sales, licenses and other dispositions of the Collateral.

        (e)  Debtor will provide to Secured Party thirty days' prior written

to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing
statements or amendments thereto without Debtor's signature thereon if filed
prior to the date hereof. Debtor hereby agrees that a carbon, photographic or

sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the Secured Party wherever the
Secured Party may in its sole discretion desire to file the same. Debtor

statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that describe the
Collateral as "all assets" of Debtor, or words of similar effect, and which

of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement,
or amendment, and Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to Secured Party
promptly upon request.

Collateral, including the proceeds thereof, free from unpaid charges, including
taxes, and from liens, encumbrances and security interests other than that of
the Secured Party and those in existence as of the date hereof as described in
Section 4(k) (except such encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary
course of business and both (i) do not materially impair the Debtor's ownership
or use of the Collateral and (ii) are junior to and do not adversely affect the
security interest granted hereunder to the Secured Party or taxes or other
charges not yet due).

        (j)  Debtor shall keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral
and its proceeds.

        (k)  Debtor is the owner of the Collateral free of all liens, claims and
encumbrances, except as created by this Security Agreement, (except such
encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and both
(i) do not materially impair the Debtor's ownership or use of the Collateral and
(ii) are junior to and do not adversely affect the security interest granted
hereunder to the Secured Party), and no financing statement covering the
Collateral or its proceeds is on file in any public office, except those in

represents, warrants and agrees with respect to each such Account that:

             (i)    The Account arose from the performance of services by Debtor
        which have been performed or from the lease or the absolute sale of
        goods by Debtor in which Debtor had the sole and complete ownership, and
        the goods have been shipped or delivered to the account debtor.

             (ii)   The Account is not subject to any prior or subsequent
        assignment, claim, lien or security interest other than that of the
        Secured Party.

             (iii)  The Account is not subject to set-off, counterclaim,
        defense, allowance or adjustment other than discounts for prompt
        payment shown on the invoice, or to dispute, objection or complaint by
        the account debtor concerning his liability on the Account, and the
        goods, the sale or lease of which gave rise to the Account, have not
        been returned, rejected, lost or damaged.

             (iv)   The Account arose in the ordinary course of Debtor's
        business, and no notice of bankruptcy, insolvency or financial
        embarrassment of the account debtor has been received by Debtor.

Products.

        (n)  No Inventory is held by Debtor pursuant to consignment, sale or
return, sale on approval or similar arrangement.

option, Debtor shall promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in form
and substance satisfactory to Secured Party , that the bailee holds such
Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party , and that such bailee agrees to
comply, without further consent of Debtor, with instructions from Secured Party
as to such Collateral (which instructions, Secured Party hereby agrees, shall
not be delivered unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would occur after taking into account any action by Debtor with respect to the
bailee).

        (p)  If Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort
Claim, Debtor shall immediately notify Secured Party in a writing signed by
Debtor of the particulars thereof and grant to Secured Party in such writing a
security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Security Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party.

in any Loan Document, or any certificate or other instrument furnished by the
Debtor to the Secured Party in connection with the transactions contemplated
thereby and taken as a whole, is false or misleading as of the date made and
such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, either individually or
collectively, has materially impaired or is reasonably likely to materially
impair the ability of the Debtor to perform its obligations under Loan Document
or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that if such
false or misleading representations, warranties or other statements were not
made intentionally or due to Debtor's gross negligence, the Debtor shall have

any of the transactions contemplated thereby (and such failure is not cured
within 180 days from the date on which the Debtor becomes aware of such
failure).

        Documents, declare all obligations secured hereby immediately due and
        payable and shall have the rights and remedies of a "secured party"

<PAGE>

        remove the same therefrom, so long as the same may be accomplished
        without a breach of the peace. The Secured Party may require Debtor to
        assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a
        place to be designated by the Secured Party and thereafter hold the
        Collateral absolutely free from any claim or right of set off

        demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and
        released. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline
        speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
        market, the Secured Party will send Debtor reasonable notice of the
        time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which
        any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be made The
        requirement of sending reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is

        disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling
        or the like shall include the Secured Party's reasonable fees and
        expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Party
        (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and expenses of legal
        counsel), and Debtor agrees to pay such reasonable fees and expenses,
        plus interest thereon at the rate set forth in paragraph 3(c) hereof.
        Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare
        the Collateral for sale. It is not necessary that the Collateral be
        present at any such sale.

             (v)     Notify the account of debtors or obligors of any accounts,
        chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of
        indebtedness remitted by Debtor to the Secured Party as proceeds to pay
        the Secured Party directly.

             (vi)    Demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or
        settlement with reference to the Collateral as the Secured Party, in
        their sole discretion, choose.

        waiving or being deemed to have waived any other prior or subsequent
        default.

        expressly provided for under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement,
        the Secured Party may exercise any other rights or remedies it may have
        at law or under the Loan Documents or Escrow Agreement (defined below).

        (b)  Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other
realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6 are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment
in full of the Indebtedness, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

provided for herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other
rights and remedies of the Secured Party. No delay on the part of the holder of
this Security Agreement in the exercise of any power or right under this
Security Agreement or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power
or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
power or right.

        (g)  Successors and Assigns. The tights and obligations of the Secured
Party and the Debtor hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by any party
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except the
Secured Party may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this
Security Agreement to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates without such consent
and in such case the assignee shall be entitled to all of the tights, privileges
and remedies granted in this Security Agreement to the Secured Party provided
that the transfer does not violate applicable securities laws and is in
connection with a concurrent assignment or transfer of Secured Note to such
assignee or transferee; and in such event Debtor will assert no claims or
defenses, other than a defense that it has performed its obligations under the
Loan Documents, it may have against the Secured Party against the assignee,
except these granted in this Security Agreement. Any assignee of Debtor or the
Secured Party shall agree in writing prior to the effectiveness of such
assignment to be bound by the provisions hereof. All of the stipulations,
promises and agreements in this Security Agreement made by Debtor shall bind the
successors and permitted assigns of Debtor, whether so expressed or not, and
inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of Debtor and the
Secured Party.

        (h)  Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Security Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Security
Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.

        (i)  Amendment and Waiver. Any term of this Security Agreement may be
amended or waived only with the written consent of the Debtor and the Secured
Party. Any waiver by the Debtor or the Secured Party of a breach of any
provision of this Security Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be
a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other
provision of this Security Agreement. The failure of the Debtor or the Secured
Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Security Agreement on
one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of
the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other
term of this Security Agreement.

        (j)  Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the full
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and no statements, written or oral, made prior to or at the signing
hereof shall vary or modify the terms hereof.

        (k)  Preservation of Perfection. Nothing in this Security Agreement is
intended or shall be construed to modify, affect, release or otherwise impair
the continuity or perfection of the liens granted under the Original Security
Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT

This
Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”), made as of December 28, 2004, by
and between FPIC
INSURANCE GROUP, INC., a
Florida corporation (the “Company”), and BECKY
THACKERY, a
director and/or officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”).

W I T N E S S E T H  
T H A T:

WHEREAS,
the Company desires to retain and attract as directors and officers the most
capable persons available; and

WHEREAS,
the Company and Indemnitee recognize that Indemnitee is unable to acquire
adequate or reliable advance knowledge or guidance with respect to the legal
risks and potential civil liabilities to which she may become personally exposed
as a result of performing her duties in good faith for the Company;
and

WHEREAS,
the Company and Indemnitee recognize that the cost of defending against such
lawsuits, whether or not meritorious, is typically beyond the financial
resources of most individuals; and

WHEREAS,
the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company permit the Company to
indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law;
and

WHEREAS,
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Statutes sets forth certain provisions relating
to the indemnification of officers and directors of a Florida corporation by
such corporation; and

WHEREAS,
the Company desires to have Indemnitee continue to serve as an officer and/or
director of the Company free from any undue concern, from unpredictable,
inappropriate or unreasonable civil risks and personal civil liabilities, by
reason of acting in good faith in the performance of her duties to the Company
and Indemnitee desires to continue to serve as an officer and/or director of the
Company; provided, on the express condition, that she is furnished with the
indemnity set forth herein;

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements below and
based on the premises set forth above, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby
agree as follows:

1.    Definitions.  As
used in the Agreement:

(a)    The term
“Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether brought in the name of the Company or otherwise and whether
of civil, administrative or investigative nature, including, but not limited to,
actions, suits, or proceedings brought under and/or predicated upon the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and/or their respective state counterparts and/or any rule or
regulation promulgated thereunder, in which Indemnitee may be or may have been
involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of any action taken by her or any
inaction on her part while acting as such director and/or officer or by reason
of the fact that she 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, whether or not she is serving in such
capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which
indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement. The term
“Proceeding” shall not include any criminal action or proceeding.

(b)  The term
“Expenses” includes, without limitation thereto, expenses of investigations,
judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals, amounts paid in settlement by
or on behalf of Indemnitee, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any expenses
of establishing a right to indemnification under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement,
but shall not include the amount of judgments, fines or penalties actually
levied against Indemnitee and shall not include any Expenses incurred in
connection with any criminal Proceeding.

	 
	 	1	 
	
      

      

	 

(c)  References
to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to
“fines” shall include an excise tax assessed with respect to any employee
benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall
include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants,
or beneficiaries; references to “employee benefit plans” shall include, and not
be limited to, stock option plans, stock award plans, stock purchase plans,
401(k) plans, pension plans, health and welfare plans, and retirement plans; and
a person who acts in good faith and in a manner she reasonably believes to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of
the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.

 

    2.    Agreement to
Serve.  Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a
director and/or officer of the Company at the will of the Company or under
separate contract, as the case may be, for so long as she is duly elected or
appointed or until such time as she tenders her resignation in writing.

 

    3.    Indemnity
in Third Party Proceedings. The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
section if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or
otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the name
of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director and/or officer 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,
against all Expenses, judgments, fines and penalties, actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such
Proceeding, provided it is determined pursuant to Paragraph 7 of this Agreement
or by the court before which such action was brought, that Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner which she reasonably believed to be in good faith and
in a manner she believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company.

4.    Indemnity
in Proceedings By or in the Name of the Company. The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
section if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or
otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure
a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was or is a
director and/or officer 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 against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or
settlement of such Proceeding, but only if she acted in good faith and in a
manner which she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, except that no indemnification for Expenses shall be
made under this Paragraph 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only
to the extent that any court in which such Proceeding is brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.

5.    Indemnification
of Expenses of Successful Party.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any
Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including the
dismissal of an action without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

6.    Advances
of Expenses. The
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 4 in any Proceeding
shall be paid by the Company in advance at the written request of Indemnitee, if
Indemnitee shall undertake to repay such amount to the extent that it is
ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification.

7.    Right
of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon
Application. Any
indemnification or advance under Paragraphs 3, 4, and/or 6 hereof shall be made
no later than 45 days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee, unless
a determination is made within such 45 day period by (a) the Board of Directors
of the Company by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of directors
who were not parties to such Proceedings, or (b) independent legal counsel in a
written opinion (which counsel shall be appointed if such a quorum is not
obtainable), that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for
indemnification set forth in Paragraphs 3 and 4.

	 
	 	2	 
	
      

      

	 

The right
to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be
enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of
proving that indemnification or advances are not appropriate shall be on the
Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or
independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification or advances are proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor
an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or
independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has 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. Indemnitee’s Expenses
incurred in connection with successfully establishing her right to
indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall
also be indemnified by the Company.

8.    Indemnification
Hereunder Not Exclusive. 
The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or another capacity while holding such
office. The indemnification under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee
even though she may have ceased to be a director and/or officer of the Company
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of
Indemnitee.

 

9.    Partial
Indemnification.  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 or
penalties actually and reasonably incurred by her in the investigation, defense,
appeal or settlement of any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of
such Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is
entitled.

 

10.    Presumption
of Indemnification. 
For purposes of this Agreement, determination of any Proceeding, suit or
proceeding by any means shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not
meet any particular standard of conduct; act in the best interests of the
Company; have any particular belief; or that a court has determined that
indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

 

11.    Liability
Insurance.  To
the extent that Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
directors’ and officers’ liability insurnce, Indemnitee shall be covered by such
policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent
of the coverage available for any director and/or officer of the
Company.

 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as
of the date first above written.
