resolution of the dispute in good faith and with reasonable diligence, in which
event the Company shall continue to pay the Executive the same Salary in effect
immediately prior to the employment termination or, in the event of a
termination for Good Reason under Section 1.7(c), the Salary in effect

this Agreement shall be determined in a forum (the "Reviewing Party") selected

the Company comprised of all directors other than the Executive, if he is then
serving as a director, acting by a majority vote, (b) a law firm or member of a
law firm selected by the Executive and approved by the Board, provided that the

in a written opinion.

            6.3 Fees and Expenses of Reviewing Party. If Independent Legal
Counsel or an arbitration panel is selected as the Reviewing Party to resolve a
dispute under this Section 6, the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and
expenses of the Reviewing Party and shall indemnify the Reviewing Party against

determination by the Reviewing Party shall be made de novo, and the Executive
shall not be prejudiced by the Reviewing Party's adverse determination. In any
Adjudication, the Company shall be precluded from asserting that the procedures
and presumptions provided in this Agreement are not valid, binding and

of this Agreement and precluded hereunder from making any assertion to the

Executive or any other person. Any amounts payable by the Company hereunder

recovery or recoupment for any reason from the Executive or any person entitled

consolidation or otherwise, by written agreement satisfactory in form and
substance to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be

      14. NOTICE AND DEFENSE OF PROCEEDING.

            14.1 Notice of Proceeding. The Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the commencement of any Proceeding for which
indemnification may be claimed hereunder, provided that any failure to so notify
the Company shall not relieve if from its obligations under this Agreement.

            14.2 Defense of Proceeding. The Company may participate in the
Proceeding at its own expense and, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, will be entitled to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee unless there has been a Change of
Control or the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be a conflict of
interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the Proceeding. If the
Indemnitee does not object on those grounds and the Company assumes the defense
of the Proceeding, it shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any Expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof,
except to the extent that (a) the Company authorizes the Indemnitee to engage
separate counsel, (b) the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that counsel engaged
by the Company may not adequately represent his interests or (c) the Company or
its counsel fails to act with reasonable diligence in assuming the defense of
the Proceeding, in each of which events all Expenses thereafter incurred by the
Indemnitee for employing separate counsel shall be subject to indemnification
hereunder.

            14.3 Settlement of Proceeding. The Company shall not settle any
Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the
Indemnitee without his written consent, which the Indemnitee shall not
unreasonably withhold. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which the Company shall not
unreasonably withhold.

      15. NONEXCLUSIVITY. The rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement
shall not be deemed exclusive or in limitation of any other rights to which the
Indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law, the governing instruments of
the Company or any agreement, vote of shareholders, resolution of the Board of
Directors or otherwise.

      16. OTHER PAYMENTS. The Company shall not be liable to make any payment
under this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnitee has received payment from
a third party of the amounts otherwise payable by the Company hereunder.

      17. SUBROGATION. The Company shall be subrogated, to the extent of any
indemnification payment under this Agreement, to all related rights of recovery
of the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall take all actions reasonably
necessary to secure the Company's recovery rights and perfect its ability to
enforce those rights.

      18. NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company's obligation hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any setoff,
counterclaimpment or other right that the Company may have against the
Indemnitee. The Company waives any rights it may now have or hereafter acquire,
by statute or otherwise, to cancel, terminate or rescind this Agreement in whole
or in part. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment made by the Company
hereunder shall not be subject to recovery or recoupment for any reason from the
Indemnitee or any person entitled thereto.

      19. SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding on the
successors and assigns of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs,
distributees, devises and legatees of the Indemnitee. Upon any Change of
Control, the Company shall require any successor to all or substantially all the
business or assets of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise, by written agreement satisfactory in form
and substance to the Indemnitee, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no succession had taken place.

      20. MISCELLANEOUS.

            20.1 Reservation of Rights. The rights and remedies provided by this
Agreement are cumulative, and the use of any one right or remedy by a party
shall not preclude or waive that party's right to use any or all other

                                        4

modified, amended, waived or discontinued unless agreed to in writing by the
parties hereto. No waiver at any time by either party of any breach by the other
party or waiver of compliance with any condition or provision to be performed by
the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar breaches,
conditions or provisions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

            20.3 Integration. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No assurances or
