authorizations of Governmental Authorities (collectively, the "Governmental
Permits") required in connection with the operation of its Business, all of
which are in full force and effect.  Target has complied with all of its
Governmental Permits.

     5.10. CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS.  Each Contract to which Target is a party
(i) is legal, valid, binding and enforceable by Target except as otherwise
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws affecting
creditors' rights generally, and except that the remedy of specific performance
or other equitable relief is available only at the discretion of the court
before which enforcement is sought, and (ii) Target, and to Target's and any
Shareholder's Knowledge, any other party, is not in Default under any such
Contract. Target is not subject to any Contract limiting the freedom of Target
to compete in any line of business, or with any Person, or in any geographic
area or market.

     5.11. EMPLOYEE RELATIONS.  Target is not (a) a party to, involved in or, to
Target's and any Shareholder's Knowledge, threatened by, any labor dispute or
unfair labor practice charge, or (b) currently negotiating any collective

Shareholders Disclosure Schedule lists all Target Benefit Plans. All Target
Benefit Plans conform to, and are being administered and operated in material
compliance with, the requirements of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable
Laws, including applicable Laws of foreign jurisdictions. There have not been
any "prohibited transactions," as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the
Code or Section 406 of ERISA involving any of the Target Benefit Plans, that
could subject Target to any penalty or tax imposed under the Code or ERISA.
There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Target, threatened claims by or on
behalf of any Target Benefit Plans, or by or on behalf of any individual
participants or beneficiaries of any Target Benefit Plans, alleging any breach
of fiduciary duty on the part of Target or any of the officers, directors or
employees of Target under ERISA or any other applicable Regulations, or claiming
benefit payments other than those made in the ordinary operation of such plans,
or alleging any violation of any other applicable Laws. Target has made all
required contributions under the Target Benefit Plans. The execution of this
Agreement and the performance of the Transactions will not (either alone or in
combination with the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events)
constitute an event under any Target Benefit Plan that will or may result in any
payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of
indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund
benefits with respect to any current or former employee, director or consultant
of Target.

     5.13. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, ETC.  Target does not infringe upon or
unlawfully or wrongfully use any Intellectual Property owned or claimed by
another Person and no Person infringes on or wrongfully uses any Intellectual

Intellectual Property used in the conduct of Target Business, free and clear of
all Encumbrances.

                                  ARTICLE XI
                                INDEMNIFICATION

     11.1. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  All the provisions of
this Agreement will survive the Closing notwithstanding any investigation at any

and warranties set forth in Articles IV and V and in any certificate delivered
in connection herewith with respect to any of those representations and
warranties and will terminate and expire on the date two (2) years after the

indemnification will or may be sought pursuant to this Article XI on the basis
of that representation and warranty by any Person who would have been entitled
pursuant to this Article XI to indemnification on the basis of that
representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration, provided
that, in the case of each representation and warranty that will terminate and

or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relating to Purchaser which is
provided to Shareholders in writing by the Purchaser or (B) any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact relating to Purchaser required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and not provided to Shareholders by Purchaser after a written request therefor
(each damage claim described in Section 11.2 being a "Shareholder Indemnified
Loss"). Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide indemnification pursuant
to Section 11.2 until the aggregate amount of indemnification to which
Shareholders, in the aggregate, otherwise shall have become entitled hereunder
shall exceed $50,000, after which Purchaser's obligation to provide
indemnification shall be from the first dollar.

     11.3. INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.  Each Shareholder,
jointly and severally, covenants and agrees that he or she will indemnify each

statement of a material fact relating to Target or any Shareholder, or any of
them, which is provided to Purchaser or its counsel in writing by the Target or
any Shareholder or

                                       16
<PAGE>

(B) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact relating
to Target or any Shareholder, or any of them, required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and not provided to
Purchaser or its counsel by Target or any Shareholder after a written request
therefor (each damage claim described in Section 11.3 being an "Purchaser
Indemnified Loss"). Shareholders shall have no obligation to provide
indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3 until the aggregate amount of
indemnification to which Purchaser otherwise shall have become entitled
hereunder shall exceed $50,000, after which Shareholders' obligation to provide
indemnification shall be from the first dollar.

     11.4. CONDITIONS OF THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION.

           (a) All claims for indemnification under this Agreement arising from
third-party claims shall be asserted and resolved as follows in this Section
11.4.

           (b) A party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an
"Indemnified Party") shall promptly (i) notify the party from whom
indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of any third-party claim or
claims asserted against the Indemnified Party ("Third Party Claim") that could
give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement and (ii) transmit
to the Indemnifying Party a written notice ("Claim Notice") describing in
reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers
served with respect to that claim (if any), an estimate of the amount of damages
attributable to the Third Party Claim to the extent feasible (which estimate
shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis for the
Indemnified Party's request for indemnification under this Agreement. Except as
set forth in Section 11.1, the failure to promptly deliver a Claim Notice shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to the Indemnified Party
with respect to the related Third Party Claim except to the extent that the
resulting delay is materially prejudicial to the defense of that claim. Within
15 days after receipt of any Claim Notice (the "Election Period"), the
Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether the
Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party
under this Article XI with respect to that Third Party Claim and (ii) if the
Indemnifying Party does not dispute its potential liability to the Indemnified
Party with respect to that Third Party Claim, whether the Indemnifying Party
desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the
Indemnified Party against that Third Party Claim.

           (c) If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its potential
liability to the Indemnified Party and notifies the Indemnified Party within the
Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the
Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend,
at its sole cost and expense, that Third Party Claim by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the
Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the
Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 11.4(c) and the Indemnified
Party will furnish the Indemnifying Party with all information in its
possession, subject to a confidentiality agreement, with respect to that Third
Party Claim and otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense
of that Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall
not enter into any settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim that (i)
purports to limit the activities of, or otherwise restrict in any way, any
Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of any Indemnified Party, (ii) involves a
guilty plea to any crime or (iii) involves a fine or penalty, whether or not
paid by the Indemnifying Party, without the prior consent of that Indemnified
Party (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of that Indemnified
Party). The Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party, to file, during the Election Period, any motion,
answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Party shall deem necessary or
appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party. The
Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement
of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this
Section 11.4(c) and will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to that
participation; provided, however, that if the named parties to any such action
(including any

                                       17
<PAGE>

impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified
Party, and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there may be
one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified
Party may employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party
(provided that such expenses are reasonable), and, on its written notification
of that employment, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or
continue the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

           (d) If the Indemnifying Party (i) within the Election Period (A)
disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article XI,
(B) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.4(c) or
(C) fails to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to
defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.4(c) or (ii) elects to
defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.4(c) but fails diligently
and promptly to prosecute or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party (provided that such expenses are reasonable) (if the
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), the Third Party
Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly and
vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled.
The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party has delivered a written
notice to the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party
disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article XI
and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the
Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this Section 11.4 or of the Indemnifying
Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's request, and the
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all
reasonable costs and expenses of such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may
participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the
Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 16.4(d), and the Indemnifying Party
shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

           (e) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against
any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the
"Indemnity Notice") describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an
estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to that claim to the extent
feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such
claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party's request for indemnification
under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified
Party within 15 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the
Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the Indemnified
Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying
Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such claim, as
provided above, such dispute shall be resolved by proceedings in an appropriate
court of competent jurisdiction if the parties do not reach a settlement of such
dispute within 30 days after notice of a dispute is given.

           (f) Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party pursuant
to this Article XI relating to a Third Party Claim shall be made within 30 days
after the latest of (i) the settlement of that Third Party Claim, (ii) the
expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of that Third Party
Claim or (iii) the expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication
of the Indemnifying Party's liability to the Indemnified Party under this
Agreement. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to
Section 11.4(e) shall be made within 30 days after the later of (i) the
expiration of the 30-day Indemnity Notice period or (ii) the expiration of the
period for appeal of a final adjudication of the Indemnifying Party's liability
to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

     11.5. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE.  The remedies provided in this Agreement
shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies available to one party
against the other, either at law or in equity.

restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Transactions, and such Court Order
shall have become final and nonappealable;

           (d) By Shareholders owning at least 51% of the Shares if Purchaser
shall have breached, or failed to comply with, in any material respect, any of
its obligations under this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by
Purchaser shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made, and such
breach, failure or misrepresentation is not cured within 10 days after notice
thereof, and in either case, any such breaches, failures or misrepresentations,

result in a failure to satisfy a condition to Purchaser's obligations to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

           (e) By Purchaser if Target or any Shareholder shall have breached, or
failed to comply with, in any material respect, any of its obligations under
this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by it shall have been
incorrect in any material respect when made, and such breach, failure or
misrepresentation is not cured within 10 days after notice thereof, and in

or (c), this Agreement shall be terminated and there shall be no liability on
the part of any of the Parties; notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach hereof; provided
that the provisions of Sections 7.2(b), 7.5, and this Section 12.2 shall survive
the termination hereof.

           (b) If this Agreement is terminated by Shareholders owning at least
51% of the Shares pursuant to Section 12.1(d), then Purchaser shall pay Target
liquidated damages in the amount of $100,000.

not met is the failure of Purchaser to meet the condition under Section 10.8

     BasicPhone, Inc.
     P.O. Box 220

     re:  BasicPhone, Inc. November 30, 2000 Financial Statements Conversion of
          financial statements from "Income Tax Basis" to "Generally Accepted
          Accounting Principles (GAAP)"

     Dear Warren:
          Per our telephone conversations with Pete Wilson, the following are
     the major necessary changes, which we discussed, in converting BasicPhone,
     Inc. November 30, 2000 financial statements from the "Income Tax Basis" to
     Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)" accrual method of
     accounting. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS BASED ON INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY
     BASICPHONE, INC. THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN A COMPLIED FINANCIAL STATEMENT,
     IF PREPARED BY US. WE HAVE NOT AUDITED OR REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING
     INFORMATION OR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND, ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT EXPRESS
     AN OPINION OR ANY FURTHER ASSURANCE ON THEM.

     1.  Accounts Receivable and contra-account Deferred Income-Accounts
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         Receivables
         -----------

         Of the accounts receivable of $636,227 at November 30, 2000, the
     $321,090 would be recognized as revenues in the fiscal year ended November
     30, 2000, increasing sales to $4,899,788, and the remaining $315,137 would
     be a prior years' adjustment increase to retained earnings. The offsetting
     debit entry would clear out the "Deferred Income-Accounts Receivables
     account".

     2. Provision for Doubtful Accounts
        -------------------------------

        A provision/reserve for doubtful accounts would be recorded to estimate
     the amount of accounts receivables outstanding as of November 30, 2000 that
     would ultimately be uncollectible, based on management's determination. The
     accounts receivables indicated by BasicPhone, Inc. as bad debt write-offs
     as of November 30, 2000 amounted to approximately $3,000.
        In December 2000, pertaining to prior billings in the state of

<PAGE>

Kansas, credit adjustments to invoices billed were made totaling approximately
$61,000. According to management, this was to correct previous months' billings
to individuals in Kansas that were believed to be customers of a new
acquisition, but were later determined not to be valid customers. Per
management, this unusual adjustment should be reflected against November 30,
2000 fiscal year-end sales.

3.   Prepaid Insurance and other prepaid expenses
     --------------------------------------------

     Any material prepaid expenses would be recorded as an asset on the balance
sheet. BasicPhone, Inc. has indicated prepaid insurance in the amount of
approximately $8,500 and prepaid advertising in the amount of approximately
$9,800. However, it appears these adjustments would be offset in the accrual
financial statements by related adjustments required as of the fiscal year-end
November 30, 1999.

4.   Accounts Payable
     ----------------

     Information received from BasicPhone, Inc. indicated accounts payables as
of November 30, 2000 representing income statement expenses totaling
approximately $245,700. The majority of these accounts payables represent direct
telephone and long distance service expenses not billed until December 2000, but
were for November 2000 transactions. However, it also appears these adjustments
would be offset to a large extent in the accrual financial statements by
related adjustments required as of the fiscal year-end November 30, 1999.

5.   Accrued Payroll and related payroll taxes for days worked in November 2000,
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------
     but paid the first of December 2000.
     -----------------------------------

     Accrued payroll expense in the estimated amount of $25,500 for "Salaries &
Wages" and the related employer's payroll tax expense for approximately $2,000,
should be recorded as expenses and offsetting liability as of November 30, 2000.
However, it also appears these adjustments would be offset to a large extent in
the accrual financial statements by related adjustments required as of the
fiscal year-end November 30, 1999.

6.   Accrued Retirement expense
     --------------------------

     In relation to the above accrued payroll expense recorded as of November
30, 2000, an estimated accrued retirement expense of $524 should be recorded
with offsetting liability. However, it also appears these adjustments would be
offset to a large extent in the accrual financial statements by related
adjustments required as of the fiscal year-end November 30, 1999.

7.   Depreciation Expense and Accumulated Depreciation
     -------------------------------------------------

     Depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation would be need to be
adjusted to reflect book depreciation methods (i.e. straight-

<PAGE>

line depreciation) reported on the financial statements (GAAP) versus the
accelerated depreciation methods (i.e. IRC Section 179 expense, MACRS, ACRS,
etc.) reported under the income tax basis. The actual difference in depreciation
expense has not been estimated at this time.

8.   Provision for current federal income taxes payable/Provision for deferred
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     federal income taxes
     --------------------

     As a result of the change in accounting method to the accrual basis, an
income adjustment is required under Internal Revenue Code Section 481. This
adjustment is required to account for changes in taxable income solely by reason
of the accounting method change in order to prevent income and expense items
from being duplicated or omitted. Under both the general procedure (IRS
Rev.Proc. 97-27) and the automatic consent procedure (IRS Rev.Proc 98-60), the
adjustment is spread over four (4) tax years unless special rules apply. An
additional increase in the liability for federal income taxes payable is
required to reflect the amount of the income adjustment. As indicated above, the
income adjustment carried over to future years would result in a future or
deferred federal income tax liability. The estimated additional provision for
current federal income taxes payable would be approximately $33,400 and the
provision for deferred income taxes payable relating to the income adjustment,
allowed to be carried over to three (3) future years, would be approximately
$100,120 (payable in the amount of approximately $33,400 per year).

     The above is a general overview of the estimated major changes to the
November 30, 2000 financial statements resulting from a change to the accrual
basis method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. It also must be noted that the above are estimated amounts based on
the information supplied by BasicPhone, Inc. and actual amounts will differ.
Such differences may be significant depending on the actual events, accounting
principles and income tax laws in effect at the time of actual occurrence.

     If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
us.

Sincerely,
/s/ Ron L. Borel

Company (the "Certificate of Incorporation") requires the Company to indemnify
directors to the extent not prohibited by law and to advance expenses to its

proceeding;

     WHEREAS, historically, basic protection against undue risk of personal
liability of directors has been provided through insurance coverage affording

     WHEREAS, it is presently uncertain whether, and to what extent, such
insurance is or will continue to be available to the Company at a reasonable
cost for the protection of Indemnitee;

     WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee's need for protection against
personal liability in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as Chairman of the
Board or the Company in a non-executive capacity commencing January 1, 1996 and
to supplement [or replace] the Company's liability insurance coverage, and in
part to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that the

Company's Board of Directors or any acquisition transaction relating to the
Company), the Company wishes to provide Indemnitee with the benefits
contemplated by this Agreement; and

     2.   Basic Indemnification Agreement.  In consideration of, and as an
inducement to, Indemnitee rendering valuable services to the Company as the
Chairman of the Board of the Company in a non-executive capacity, the Company
agrees that in the event Indemnitee is or becomes a party to or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other
participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an
Indemnifiable Event, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee to
the fullest extent authorized by law, against any and all Losses and Expenses
(including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Losses and Expenses) of such Claim,
whether or not such Claim proceeds to judgement or is settled or otherwise is
brought to a final disposition, subject in each case, to the further provisions
of this Agreement.

     3.   Limitations on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2, Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless from any Losses
or Expenses (a) which have been Determined, as provided herein, to constitute
and Excluded Claim; (b) to the extent Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company
and has actually received payment pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation,
D&O Insurance or otherwise; or (c) other than pursuant to the last sentence of
Section 4 (d) or Section 15, in connection with any claim initiated by
Indemnitee, unless the Company has joined in or the Board of Directors has
authorized such claim.

     4.   Indemnification Procedures.

     (a)  Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of any Claim,
Indemnitee shall, if indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the
Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice promptly shall not
affect or limit the Company's obligations with respect to the matters described
in the notice of such Claim, except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced
thereby. Indemnitee agrees further not to make any admission or effect any
settlement with respect so such Claim without the consent of the Company, except
any Claim with respect to which the Indemnitee has undertaken the defense in
accordance with the second to last sentence of Section 4(d).

     (b)  If, at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has D&O
Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of
Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
Losses and Expenses payable as a result of such Claim.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     (c)  To the extent the Company does not, at the time of the Claim have
applicable D&O Insurance, or if a Determination is made that any Expenses
arising out of such Claim will not be payable under the D&O Insurance then in
effect, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of any claim in
advance of the final disposition thereof and the Company, if appropriate, shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel satisfactory to
Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so
to do. After delivery of such notice, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such defense other than reasonable
Expenses of investigation; provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ counsel in such Claim but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred
after delivery of notice from the Company of its assumption of such defense
shall be at the Indemnitee's expense; provided further that if: (i) the
employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the
Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any
such defense, or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to
assume the defense of such action, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
shall be at the expense of the Company.

     (d)  All payments on account of the Company's indemnification obligations
under this Agreement shall be made within sixty (60) days of Indemnitee's
written request therefore unless a Determination is made that the Claims giving
rise to Indemnitee's request are Excluded Claims or otherwise not payable under
this Agreement; provided that all payments on account of the Company's
obligation to pay Expenses under Section 4 (c) of this Agreement prior to the
final disposition of any Claim shall be made within 20 days of Indemnitee's
written request therefor and such obligation shall not be subject to any such
Determination but shall be subject to Section 4 (e) of this Agreement. In the
event the Company takes the position that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in connection with the proposed settlement of any Claim,
Indemnitee shall have the right at his own expense to undertake defense of any
such Claim, insofar as such proceeding involves Claims against the Indemnitee,
by written notice given to the Company within 10 days after the Company has
notified Indemnitee in writing of its contention that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice
within such 10-day period shall not affect or limit the Company's obligations
with respect to any such Claim if such Claim is subsequently determined not to
be an Excluded Claim or otherwise to be payable under this Agreement, except to
the extent that the Company is prejudiced thereby. If it is subsequently
determined in connection with such proceeding that the Indemnifiable Events are
not Excluded Claims and that Indemnitee, therefore, is entitled to be
indemnified under the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Company shall promptly
indemnify Indemnitee.

     (e)  Indemnitee hereby expressly undertakes and agrees to reimburse the
Company for all Losses an Expenses paid by the Company in connection with any
Claim against Indemnitee in the event and only to the extent that a
Determination shall have been made by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
decision from which there is no further right to appeal that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the company for such Losses and Expenses because
the Claim is an Excluded Claim or because Indemnitee is otherwise not entitled
to payment under this agreement.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     (f)  In connection with any Determination as to whether Indemnitee is
entitled to be indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company
to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

     5.   Settlement.  The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any claim
effected without the Company's prior written consent. The Company shall not
settle any Claim in which it takes the position that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification in connection with such settlement without the prior written
consent of Indemnitee, nor shall the Company settle any Claim in any manner
which would impose any prior Fine or any obligation on Indemnitee, without
Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall
unreasonably withhold its or his consent to any proposed settlement.

     6.   Change in control; Extraordinary Transactions.  The Company and
Indemnitee agree that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other that
a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board
of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control or a
majority of the disinterested directors of the Company immediately prior to such
Change in Control) then all Determinations thereafter with respect to the rights
of Indemnitee to be paid Losses and Expenses under this Agreement shall be made
only by a special independent counsel (the "Special Independent Counsel")
selected by Indemnitee and approved in writing by the Company (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
Company shall pay the reasonable fees of such Special Independent Counsel and
shall indemnify such Special Independent Counsel against any and all reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

          The Company convenants and agrees that, in the event of a Change in
Control of the type described in clause (3) or (4) of Section 1(c), the Company
will use its best efforts (1) to have the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement including, but not limited to those under Section 7, expressly assumed
by the surviving, purchasing or succeeding entity, or (2) to otherwise
adequately provide for the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.

     7.   Establishment of Trust.  In the event of a Potential Change in
Control, the Company shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a trust
(the "Trust") for the benefit of Indemnitee and from time to time upon written
request of Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy
any and all Losses and Expenses which are actually paid or which Indemnitee
reasonably determines from time to time may be payable by the Company under this
Agreement. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the
foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by the Reviewing Party, in any
case in which the Special Independent Counsel is involved. The terms of the
Trust shall provide that upon a Change in Control: (a) the Trust shall not be
revoked or the principal thereof invaded without the prior written consent of
Indemnitee; (b) the trustee of the Trust shall advance, within 20 days of a
written request by Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (and
Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the circumstances under
which Indemnitee would be

                                       8
<PAGE>

required to reimburse the Company under Section 4 (e) of this Agreement); (c)
the Company shall continue to fund the Trust from time to time in accordance
with the funding obligations set forth above; (d) the trustee of the Trust shall
promptly pay to Indemnitee all Losses and Expenses for which Indemnitee shall be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) all unexpended
funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final decision from which there is no
further right of appeal that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the
terms of this Agreement. The trustee of the Trust shall be chosen by Indemnitee.

     8.  No Presumption.  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any
Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined
that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

     9.  Non-exclusivity, Etc.  The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company's By-laws, the Delaware General Corporation Law, any
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action
in Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in any other capacity by
holding such office, and shall continue after Indemnitee ceases to serve the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, for so long as
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Claim by reason of (or arising in part out
of) an Indemnifiable Event. To the extent that a change in the Delaware General
Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater
indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the
Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties
hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so
afforded by such change.

     10.  Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an insurance
policy or policies providing directors' and officers' liability insurance,
Indemnitee, if an officer or director of the Company, 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 of officer of the Company.

     11.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do
everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution
of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to
enforce such rights.

                                       9

     12.  Partial Indemnity, Etc.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision
of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
losses and Expenses of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount
thereof, the company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or
in part to any Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein,
including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

     13.  Contribution.  If the indemnification or reimbursement provided for
hereunder is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be unavailable to Indemnitee in respect of any Losses or Expenses of a Claim
(other than for any reason specified in Section 3 hereof), then the Company
agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in lieu of indemnifying
Indemnitee, to contribute to the amount paid or payable by Indemnitee as a
result of such Losses or Expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits accruing to the Company and Indemnitee with
respect to the events giving rise to such Losses or Expenses. If, however, the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by
applicable law, then the Company agrees to contribute to the amount paid or
payable by Indemnitee as a result of such Losses or Expenses in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the
relative fault of the Company and of Indemnitee with respect to the events
giving rise to such Losses or Expenses. For purposes of this Section 13, (a) the
relative benefits accruing to the Company shall be deemed to be the benefits
accruing to it and to all of its directors, officers, employees and agents
(other than Indemnitee), as a group and treated as one person (the "Company
Group"), and the relative benefits accruing to Indemnitee shall be deemed to be
an amount not greater than Indemnitee's compensation from the Company during the
first year in which the events giving rise to such Losses or Expenses are
alleged to have occurred, and (b) the relative fault of the Company shall be
deemed to be the fault of the Company Group, and the relative fault of the
Company and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to the relative intent,
knowledge and access to information of the Company Group and Indemnitee and
their relative opportunity to have altered or prevented the events giving rise
to such Losses or Expenses.

     14.  Liability of Company.  Indemnitee agrees that neither the stockholders
nor the directors nor any officer, employee, representative or agent of the
Company shall be personally liable for the satisfaction of the Company's
obligations under this Agreement and Indemnitee shall look solely to the assets
of the Company for satisfaction of any claims hereunder.

     15.  Enforcement.

     (a)  Indemnitee's right to indemnification and other rights under this
Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by Indemnitee only in the state or
Federal courts of the States of Delaware or Illinois and shall be enforceable
notwithstanding any adverse Determination by the Company's Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, the Special Independent Counsel or the Company's
stockholders and no such Determination shall create a presumption the Indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. In any such action the Company
shall have the burden of proving that indemnification is not required under this
Agreement.

     (b)  In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this
Agreement, or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and reasonable expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Indemnitee with
respect to such action, unless the court determines that each of the material
assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good
faith or was frivolous.

     16.  Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court to require the Company to do or to fail to do an act which
is in violation of applicable law, such provision (including any provision
within a single section, paragraph or sentence) shall be limited or modified in
its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a violation of law,
and, as so limited or modified, such provision and the balance of this Agreement
shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

     17.  Governing Law.  This agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made
and to be performed entirely within such State.

     18.  Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the States of Delaware
and Illinois for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which
arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agrees that any action instituted
under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state and Federal courts of
the States of Delaware and Illinois.

     19.  Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be sufficiently given for all purposes if in writing and

service, or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with
postage prepaid addressed as follows, or to such other address as the parties

     22.  Amendment; Waiver.  No amendment, modification, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a writing
signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision
hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.
