                  RETIREMENT LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT AGREEMENT

     This Agreement between, a corporation ("Employer"), and ("Employee"),

     WHEREAS, Employee has been a participant in a program (the "Insurance

commencing on the later of (i) the Employee's Normal Retirement Date or (ii),
the date on which Employee became entitled to convert the insurance then in
force on his/her life under the Employee's pre-retirement group term life
insurance plan, certain designated percentages of the premium for the amount of
pre-retirement group term life insurance which the Employee was entitled to
convert (whether or not the Employee converted any, all, or none of such
insurance) provided that, pursuant to such agreement, such payments would be
made only if the Employee's employment with the Employer continued beyond
his/her Normal Retirement Date or terminated by reason of retirement on or
before said Normal Retirement Date; and

     WHEREAS, the Insurance Payment Program was terminated effective July 2,
2001;

     WHEREAS, Employer desires to continue providing a post-retirement life
insurance benefit to each Employee eligible for and participating in the
Insurance Payment Program at the time of its termination.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and Employee's
agreement to surrender all claims to any payments he/she might be entitled to
under the former Insurance Payment Program, Employer and Employee agree as
follows:

     1.   Effective upon the later of the Employee's 65th birthday or his/her
retirement date, Employer will purchase a term life insurance policy on the life
of Employee issued by the Employer or one of its affiliates with a face amount
equal to the percentage shown below of an amount equal to two times the
Employee's salary and bonus earned in his/her final year of employment prior to
retirement less $5,000; provided, however, that the face amount of such
insurance policy shall not exceed $495,000.

therewith, be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries thereunder,
assign the policy, and exercise all other rights of ownership.  Employee hereby

     4.   This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of 4, except

Payment Program. By executing this Agreement, Employee surrenders all claims to
any payments he/she might be entitled to receive under the former Insurance
Payment Program.

     6.   Employee understands and acknowledges that he/she may owe income taxes
annually on the cost of coverage once such coverage becomes effective.  The
Employer shall determine the amount that is includable each year in the
Employee's gross income, and report such amount as required by law.

I.   AMENDMENTS AND ADDITIONS TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

1.1. Section 2 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such
     provision in its entirety and replacing with the following:

          2. Term of Employment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
             ------------------
          initial term of this Agreement shall be for one (1) year commencing on
          December 14, 2001 and ending on December 14, 2002 (the "Employment
          Term"); provided that for purposes of that certain JDN Realty
          Corporation Restricted Stock Agreement between Employee and JDN Realty
          ("JDN Realty") dated February 13, 2001 the provisions of this
          Amendment shall not be deemed an extension of the Employment Term and
          all of the shares of restricted common stock of JDN Realty issued
          pursuant to such agreement vested and became transferable, subject to
          applicable federal and state securities laws, on November 27, 2001.
          The Employment Term may be extended by mutual written agreement of the
          Employee and the Company upon such terms, provisions and conditions
          which are mutually acceptable to the Employee and the Company.

<PAGE>

1.2. Section 4.1 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such
     provision in its entirety and replacing with the following:

          4.1 Base Salary. For the period from November 27, 2000 through
              -----------
          December 14, 2001, the Company shall pay to the Employee as
          compensation for the services to be performed by the Employee a base
          salary of Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000) per
          year. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to the
          Employee a base salary of Three Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars
          ($390,000) per year. The base salary shall be payable in installments
          in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practice and shall be
          subject to such withholdings and other ordinary employee withholdings
          as may be required by law.

1.3. Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such
     provision in its entirety and replacing with the following:

          4.2. Bonuses; Incentive Payments. In addition to the compensation set
               ---------------------------
          forth elsewhere in this Section 4, for the year commencing on December
          14, 2001 and ending on December 14, 2002, the Employee shall be
          entitled to receive a bonus as follows:

          Employee shall be entitled to receive a bonus equal to 100% of his
          base salary each year during the term of this Agreement in the event
          that Actual Per Share FFO (as defined herein) is greater than or equal
          to the Target Per Share FFO (as set forth herein) for the
          corresponding fiscal year. The Target Per Share FFO for the fiscal
          year ending December 31, 2001 is $1.43 (which is the basis for
          determining the bonus payable to Employee for the period from the
          Effective Date to the first anniversary of the Effective Date) and the
          base salary for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 is $375,000;
          and the Target Per Share FFO for the fiscal year ending December 31,
          2002 is $1.25 (which is the basis for determining the bonus payable to
          Employee for the period from December 14, 2001 to December 14, 2002)
          and the base salary for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 is
          $390,000; provided that if JDN Realty at any time subdivides (by any
          stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its
          outstanding shares of common stock into a greater number of shares,
          the Target Per Share FFO in effect immediately prior to such issuance
          or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if JDN Realty at
          any time reduces the number of its outstanding shares of common stock
          or combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding
          shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, the Target Per
          Share FFO in effect

                                       2

<PAGE>

          immediately prior to such reduction or combination shall be
          proportionately increased; provided that no adjustment hereunder will
          be required unless the effect of such reduction or increase (together
          with any other previously unmade adjustments, which shall be made
          collectively with the next required adjustment) does not result in the
          reduction or increase of the Target Per Share FFO by at least $0.01.
          The bonus payable to Employee under this Section 4.2 shall be reduced
          by an amount equal to 1.67% of Employee's then-current base salary for
          each percentage point that the Actual Per Share FFO for the applicable
          fiscal year is below the Target Per Share FFO for that fiscal year.
          The bonus payable to Employee under this Section 4.2 shall be paid on
          or before February 28 of the next fiscal year commencing after the
          fiscal year upon which such bonus is based unless required to be paid
          earlier pursuant to separate provisions of this Agreement. In the
          event that Employee's employment with the Company terminates prior to
          December 14, 2002, the bonus earned by Employee hereunder shall be
          calculated by: (i) annualizing the FFO per share of outstanding common
          stock of JDN Realty for the period from January 1, 2002 until the date
          of Employee's termination (adjusted for any one-time or nonrecurring
          charges incurred by JDN Realty during that period); (ii) comparing the
          resulting annualized FFO to the Target Per Share FFO; (iii) applying
          the criteria for determining Employee's bonus set forth in Section 4.2
          hereof to determine the annual bonus that would be payable to Employee
          based upon the annualized FFO; and (iv) prorating such amount based
          upon the number of days worked by Employee during the year commencing
          on December 14, 2001 and ending on December 14, 2002. For purposes of
          this Agreement, "Actual Per Share FFO" shall mean net income of JDN
          Realty for the fiscal year for which Actual Per Share FFO is being
          calculated, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles, excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and
          sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate
          assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
          joint ventures, applying accounting principles consistently with prior
          periods divided by the number of outstanding shares of JDN Realty as
          of the last day of the fiscal year for which the Actual Per Share FFO
          is being calculated based upon JDN Realty Corporation's audited
          financial statements for such period.

          The Employee shall also be eligible to receive such other bonuses or
          incentive payments as may be approved by the Board of Directors.

                                       3

<PAGE>

          For purposes of the remainder of this Employment Agreement, "Base
          Salary" shall mean Three Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($390,000).

1.4. Section 4.7 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such
     provision in its entirety and replacing with the following:

          4.7 Stock Options. Effective as of November 28, 2000, the Employee was
              -------------
          granted options to acquire 200,000 shares of the common stock of JDN
          Realty at a per-share exercise price of $10.50, all of which vested
          and became exercisable on November 27, 2001. Pursuant to that certain
          Stock Option Agreement dated as of December 14, 2001, Employee was
          granted options to acquire 100,000 shares of the common stock of JDN
          Realty at a per-share exercise price of $11.74 (the closing price as
          of December 13, 2001), all of which will vest and become exercisable
          on December 13, 2002 (i.e. prior to expiration of the Employment
          Agreement). Any unexercised options shall expire ten years from the
          date of grant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
          herein, the options referenced in this Section 4.7 shall be subject to
          the terms of the JDN Realty Corporation 1993 Incentive Stock Plan, as
          amended, and any agreement between Employee and JDN Realty pursuant
          thereto.

1.5. Section 4.8 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such
     provision in its entirety and replacing with the following:

          4.8 Restricted Stock. On the Execution Date of the Employment
              ----------------
          Agreement, the Employee was granted 25,000 shares of restricted common
          stock of JDN Realty, all of which vested and became transferable,
          subject to applicable federal and state securities laws, on November
          27, 2001. Pursuant to a Restricted Stock Agreement between Employee
          and JDN Realty, dated as of December 14, 2001, Employee was issued
          20,000 shares of restricted common stock, all of which shall vest and
          become transferable, subject to applicable federal and state
          securities laws, on December 13, 2002, or such earlier date as such
          shares of restricted stock may become vested and exercisable under
          separate provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
          contrary contained herein, the shares of restricted stock referenced
          in this Section 4.8 shall be subject to the terms of the JDN Realty
          Corporation 1993 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended, and any agreement
          between Employee and JDN Realty pursuant thereto.

                                       4

<PAGE>

1.6. The introductory paragraph to Section 6.1 and Section 6.1(a) of the
     Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such provisions in their
     entirety and replacing them with the following:

          6.1 Termination Upon Change in Control or Termination Other than For
              ----------------------------------------------------------------
     Cause. In the event that Employee's employment is terminated in a
     -----
     termination Upon a Change in Control or a termination Other than For Cause,
     the Employee shall be paid the following severance compensation:

               (a) From the date of Employee's termination until December 14,
          2002 (the "Remainder Period"), an amount (payable on the dates
          specified in Section 4.1 except as otherwise provided herein) equal to
          any amount of the Base Salary that would otherwise be payable for the
          Remainder Period but for Employee's termination plus one year's Base
          Salary at the rate payable at the time of such termination.
          Notwithstanding any provision in this paragraph (a) to the contrary,
          the Employee may, in the Employee's sole discretion, by delivery of a
          notice to the Company within thirty (30) days following a Termination
          Upon a Change in Control, elect to receive from the Company a lump sum
          severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to the present value
          of the flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to the
          Employee pursuant to this paragraph (a). Such present value shall be
          determined as of the date of delivery of the notice of election by the
          Employee and shall be based on a discount rate equal to LIBOR plus
          2.25%, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, or similar publication,
          on the date of delivery of the election notice. If the Employee elects
          to receive a lump sum severance payment, the Company shall make such
          payment to the Employee within thirty (30) days following the date on
          which the Employee notifies the Company of the Employee's election.

1.7. Section 11.1 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by deleting such
     provision in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

          The Company shall indemnify Employee to the full extent permitted by
     the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Company's Bylaws
     and Certificate of Incorporation, in each case as amended from time to
     time, and the Indemnity Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A to be
     entered into by and between Employee and the Company.

1.8.     A new Section 4.9 shall be added as follows:

          4.9  Certain Additional Payments by the Company.
               ------------------------------------------

               (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary

                                       5

<PAGE>

          notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall
          be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company,
          directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of Employee (whether
          paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
          of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any
          additional payments required under this Section 4.9) (a "Payment")
          would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any interest
          or penalties are incurred by Employee with respect to such excise tax
          (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are
          hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then
          Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a
          "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Employee
          of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect
          to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and
          any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise
          Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Employee retains an amount of
          the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the
          Payments.

               (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.9(c), all
          determinations required to be made under this Section 4.9, including
          whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
          Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at
          such determination, shall be made by the Company's regular independent
          accounting firm or such other certified public accounting firm
          reasonably acceptable to Employee as may be designated by the Company
          (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting
          calculations both to the Company and Employee promptly after the
          receipt of notice that a Payment is due to be made. All fees and
          expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.
          Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 4.9,
          shall be paid by the Company to Employee promptly following the
          receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by
          the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Employee. As
          a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the
          Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
          hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have
          been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"),
          consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the
          event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section
          4.9(c) and Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any
          Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the
          Underpayment

                                       6

<PAGE>

          that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by
          the Company to or for the benefit of Employee.

               (c) The Employee shall notify the Company in writing of any claim
          by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
          payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment (or an additional
          Gross-Up Payment). Such notification shall be given as soon as
          practicable but no later than ten business days after Employee is
          informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the
          nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to
          be paid. The Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration
          of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice
          to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any
          payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company
          notifies Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period
          that it desires to contest such claim, Employee shall:

               (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the
          Company relating to such claim,

               (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
          the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
          including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with
          respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the
          Company,

               (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
          effectively to contest such claim, and

               (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
          relating to such claim;

          provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all
          costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties)
          incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold
          Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income
          tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as
          a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.
          Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.9(c),
          the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with
          such contest (to the extent applicable to the Excise Tax and the
          Gross-Up Payment) and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and
          all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with
          the taxing authority in respect of such claim

                                       7

          and may, at its sole option, either direct Employee to pay the tax
          claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible
          manner, and Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a
          determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of
          initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
          Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company
                                   --------  -------
          directs Employee to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company
          shall advance the amount of such payment to Employee, on an
          interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on
          an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
          interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to
          such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to
          such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute
          of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of
          Employee with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be
          due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the
          Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
          respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and
          Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be,
          any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
          taxing authority.

               (d) If, after the receipt by Employee of an amount advanced by
          the Company pursuant to Section 4.9(c), Employee becomes entitled to
          receive any refund with respect to such claim, Employee shall (subject
          to the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 4.9(c))
          promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with
          any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).
          If, after the receipt by Employee of an amount advanced by the Company
          pursuant to Section 4.9(c), a determination is made that Employee
          shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the
          Company does not notify Employee in writing of its intent to contest
          such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
          determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be
          required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to
          the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be
          paid.

1.9. A new Section 6.1(e) shall be added as follows:

               (e) A bonus equal to 100% of his Base Salary, payable on the date
          Employee's employment with the Company ceases as a result of a
          Termination Upon Change of Control or Termination Other than For
          Cause.

                                    ---------

                          JDN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of December 14, 2001, by and between JDN
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and LEE S.
WIELANSKY (the "Indemnitee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitee currently serves as a director and officer of the
Company, and the Company desires that the Indemnitee continue to serve in such
capacities;

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve as officer and director of the
Company if the Indemnitee is adequately protected against the risks associated
with such service; and

     WHEREAS, the Company believes that the proposed indemnification is fair and
reasonable and will help promote the legitimate interests of the Company;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth; the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Indemnification.
          ---------------

     The Company shall pay on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee's
executors, administrators or assigns, any liability incurred by the Indemnitee
(i) as a result of any actual or threatened claim made against the Indemnitee by
reason of the fact that the Indemnitee has served or is serving as an officer
and/or director of the Company, or (ii) because of any actual or alleged breach
of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or other
act done or attempted by the Indemnitee in the Indemnitee's capacity as an
officer and/or director of the Company. "Liability" includes (without
limitation) (i) damages, judgments, penalties, fines and settlements, (ii)
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and other costs and expenses associated
with the investigation, defense, prosecution, and management of legal actions,
claims and proceedings and appeals therefrom, including costs of attachments,
injunction and appeal bonds, and similar bonds, and (iii) all expenses incurred
by the Indemnitee in enforcing this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any liability that the
Company is determined (by a final and unappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction) to be prohibited by applicable corporate law from paying
as indemnity.

<PAGE>

     2.   Advancement of Expenses.
          -----------------------

     Costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys
fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in (i) defending or investigating or otherwise
responding to any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding, or claim
falling within the parameters of paragraph 1 above, and (ii) enforcing this
Agreement, shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of
such matter within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request for such payment
and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay any such
amount if it is ultimately determined (by a final and unappealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under the terms of this Agreement.

     3.   Enforcement of Rights.
          ---------------------

     If a claim under this Agreement is not paid by or on behalf of the Company
within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Company,
the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim, seek monetary damages, and obtain
equitable relief, including mandatory injunction, and, if successful in whole or
in part, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of
prosecuting such claim or claims against the Company.

     4.   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 the
Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall (at the Company's
expense, including reasonable payment for the Indemnitee's time and effort
expended in providing assistance to the Company to the extent he is no longer
employed by the Company) do everything that may be reasonably necessary to
secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to
enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights.

     5.   Claims Excluded.
          ---------------

     The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to pay any liability
incurred by the Indemnitee:

          (a) To the extent payment is actually made to the Indemnitee under an
insurance policy maintained by the Company;

          (b) To the extent the Indemnitee is actually paid or indemnified by
the Company otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement;

          (c) If it is established (by a final and unappealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction) that the act or omission of the Indemnitee was
material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding in connection with which
indemnity is sought and (i) was committed by the Indemnitee in bad faith, or
(ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty of the Indemnitee;

<PAGE>

          (d) If it is determined (by a final and unappealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction) that the Indemnitee actually received an
improper personal benefit in money, property or services unless, in view of all
the circumstances of the case, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that
the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity;

          (e) If it is determined (by a final and unappealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction) in any criminal proceeding, that the Indemnitee
had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission of the Indemnitee was
unlawful;

          (f) In any proceeding b or in the right of the Company against such
Indemnitee, wherein the Indemnitee shall have been determined (by a final and
unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) to be liable to the
Company; or

          (g) For an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the
Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     6.   Notice.
          ------

     The Indemnitee, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified
under this Agreement, shall give to the Company notice in writing as soon as
practicable of any claim made against him for which indemnity will or could be
sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to JDN
Development Company, Inc., 359 East Paces Ferry Road, Suite 400, Atlanta,
Georgia 30305, Attention: Corporate Secretary (or such other address as the
Company shall designate in writing to the Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed
received if sent by prepaid mail properly addressed, the date of such notice
being the date postmarked. In addition, the Indemnitee shall (at the Company's
expense, including payment for the Indemnitee's reasonable time and effort
expended in providing assistance to the Company to the extent he is no longer
employed by the Company) give the Company such information and cooperation as it
may reasonably require in connection with such claim.

     7.   Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
          -------------------------

     Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the
Indemnitee's right to indemnification under any provision of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or the laws of the State of Delaware.

     8.   Continued Service.
          -----------------

     The Indemnitee agrees to continue to serve as an officer and director of
the Company to the best of the Indemnitee's ability until the expiration or
earlier termination of the Indemnitee's term of office or until the Indemnitee
tenders his resignation in writing; provided, however, that nothing in this
agreement is intended to create a contract of employment.

          -------------

     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware.

     10.  Binding Agreement.
          -----------------

Company (including any transferee of all or substantially all of its assets and
any successor by merger or operation of law) and shall inure to the benefit of
the heirs, personal representatives and estate of the Indemnitee.

     11.  Severability.
          ------------

     If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
(including without limitation, all portions of any section of this Agreement
containing any such provisions held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any
paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the
parties that the Company provide protection to the Indemnitee to the fullest
extent allowed by law.

     12.  Arbitration.
          -----------

     Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be subject to binding

          --------
