                  ADESSO SPECIALTY SERVICES ORGANIZATION, INC.

                PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

         As an employee of ADESSO SPECIALTY SERVICES ORGANIZATION, INC., its
subsidiary or its affiliate (together, the "Company"), and as a condition of my
employment by the Company and in consideration of the compensation now and
hereafter paid to me. I agree to the following:

1.       MAINTAINING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

         (a)      COMPANY INFORMATION. I agree at all times during the term of
my employment and thereafter to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use,
except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or
corporation, without written authorization of the Board of Directors of the
Company, any trade secrets, confidential knowledge, confidential data or other
similar proprietary information of the Company.

         (b)      FORMER EMPLOYER INFORMATION. I agree that I will not, during
my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary
information or trade secrets of my former or concurrent employers or companies,
if any, and that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any
unpublished documents or any property belonging to my former or concurrent
employers or companies unless previously and specifically consented to in
writing by said employers or companies.

         (c)      THIRD PARTY INFORMATION. I recognize that the Company has
received and in the future will receive confidential or proprietary information
from third parties subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and, in some cases, to use it only for
certain limited purposes. I agree that I owe the Company and such third parties,
both during the term of my employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all such
confidential and proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to
disclose it to any person, firm or corporation (except in a manner that is
consistent with the Company's agreement with the third party) or use it for the
benefit of anyone other than the Company or such third party (consistent with
the Company's agreement with the third party), unless expressly authorized to
act otherwise by an officer of the Company.

2.       ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS.

         (a)      INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS RETAINED BY ME. I have attached
hereto as Exhibit A a complete disclosure of all inventions, original works of
authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that I have, alone or
jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be
conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my
employment with the Company, that I consider to be my property or the property
of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this
Agreement. If disclosure of an item on Exhibit A would cause me to violate any
prior confidentiality

                                                                               2

agreement, I understand that I am not to disclose such on Exhibit A but in the
applicable space on Exhibit A. I am only to disclose a cursory name for each
such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that
full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space
is provided on Exhibit A for such purpose. If no disclosure is attached, I
represent that there are no such inventions.

         (b)      INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS ASSIGNED TO THE COMPANY. I agree
that I will make prompt written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust
for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company
all my right, title and interest in and to any ideas, inventions, original works
of authorship, developments, improvement or trade secrets which I may solely or
jointly conceive or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or reduced to
practice, during the period of my employment with the Company. I recognize that
this Agreement does not require assignment of any invention which qualifies
fully for protection under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (hereafter
"Section 2870"), which provides as follows:

                  (i)      Any provision in an employment agreement which
provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her
rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention
that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the
employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except
for those inventions that either:

                           (1)      Relate at the time of conception or
reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

                           (2)      Result from any work performed by the
employee for the employer.

                  (ii)     To the extent a provision in an employment agreement
purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from
being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against
the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

         I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by
me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which
are protectable by copyright are "works made for hire" as that term is defined
in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

         (c)      INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS ASSIGNED TO THE UNITED STATES. I
hereby assign to the United States government all my right, title and interest
in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
improvements or trade secrets whenever full title to same is required to be in
the United States by a contract between the Company and the United States or any
of its agencies.

         (d)      OBTAINING LETTERS PATENT, COPYRIGHT REGISTRATIONS AND OTHER
PROTECTIONS. I will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain and enforce
United States and foreign

                                                                               3

proprietary rights relating to any and all inventions, original works of
authorship, developments, improvements or trade secrets of the Company in any
and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents
and perform such other acts (including appearing as a witness) the Company may
reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing,
sustaining and enforcing such proprietary rights and the assignment thereof. In
addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such proprietary
rights to the Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with
respect to proprietary rights in any and all countries shall continue beyond the
termination of my employment, but the company shall compensate me at a
reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at the
Company's request on such assistance.

         In the event that Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable
effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the
actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and
appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and
attorney-in-fact, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file such
documents with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby
waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims of any nature whatsoever
which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any proprietary rights
assigned to the Company.

         (e)      OBLIGATION TO KEEP THE COMPANY INFORMED. In addition to my
obligations under paragraph 2(b) above, during the period of my employment and
for one (1) year after termination of my employment for any reason, I will
promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all patent applications
filed by me or on my behalf. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise
the Company in writing of any inventions that I believe fully qualify for
protection under Section 2870; and I will at that time provide to the Company in
writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. I understand that
the Company will keep in confidence and not disclose to third parties without my
consent any proprietary information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement relating to inventions that qualify fully for protection under
the provisions of Section 2870. I will preserve the confidentiality of any such
invention that does not qualify fully for protection under Section 2870. I agree
to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes,
sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of
all proprietary information developed by me and all inventions made by me during
the period of my employment at the Company at all times.

3.       NO CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT; NO INDUCEMENT OF OTHER EMPLOYEES OR
SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS.

         I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will
not, without the Company's express written consent, engage in any other
employment or business activity directly related to the business in which the
Company is now involved or becomes involved, nor will I engage in any other
activities which conflict with my obligations to the Company. For the period of
my employment by the Company and for one (1) year after the date of termination
of my employment by the Company I will not induce any employee of the Company to
leave the employ of the Company.

                                                                               4

         If any restriction set forth in this Section is found by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a
period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad of a
geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period
of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable.

4.       NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS.

         I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement as
an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement or
obligation of mine relating to any time prior to my employment by the Company. I
have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either
written or oral in conflict herewith.

5.       RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS.

         When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company
(and will not keep in my possession, photocopy or deliver to anyone else) any
and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists,
correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials,
equipment, other documents or property, together with all copies thereof (in
whatever medium recorded) belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns
whether kept at the Company, home or elsewhere. I further agree that any
property situated on the Company's premises and owned by the Company, including
disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject
to inspection by the Company personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior
to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the
Company's termination statement for technical and management personnel
confirming the above and my obligations under this Agreement.

         I HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE UNAUTHORIZED TAKING OF
THE COMPANY'S TRADE SECRETS:

                  (i)      COULD RESULT IN CIVIL LIABILITY UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE
SECTION 3426, AND THAT, IF WILLFUL, COULD RESULT IN AN AWARD FOR TRIPLE THE
AMOUNT OF THE COMPANY'S DAMAGES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES; AND

                  (ii)     IS A CRIME UNDER CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE SECTION
444(C), PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT FOR A TIME NOT EXCEEDING ONE (1) YEAR, OR BY
A FINE NOT EXCEEDING FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000), OR BY BOTH.

6.       NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER.

         In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent
to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this
Agreement.

                                                                               5

7.       LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.

         Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have
access to and become acquainted with the proprietary information of the Company,
the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its
provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief,
without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the
Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.

8.       GENERAL PROVISIONS

         (a)      NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. I agree and understand that
nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of
my employment by the Company.

         (b)      GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION. This
Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State
of California, excluding conflicts of laws principles. I hereby expressly
consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in
California for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company arising from or
relating to this Agreement.

         (c)      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, and Exhibit A attached
hereto and hereby incorporated herein, sets forth the final, complete and
exclusive agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to its
subject matter. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any
waiver of any rights under this Agreement will be effective unless in writing
and signed by both the Company and me. Any subsequent change or changes in my
duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this
Agreement.

         (d)      SEVERABILITY. If one or more of the provision in this
Agreement are deemed unenforceable by law, then the remaining provision will
continue in full force and effect.

         (e)      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon my
heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for
the benefit of the Company, its successors and its assigns.

         (f)      SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of my employment and the assignments of this Agreement by the
Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

         (g)      WAIVER. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this
Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by
the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of
any other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce
strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

that either:

                           (1)      Relate at the time of conception or

proprietary rights relating to any and all inventions, original works of
authorship, developments, improvements or trade secrets of the Company in any
and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents
and perform such other acts (including appearing as a witness) the Company may

evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. I understand that the Company
will keep in confidence and not disclose to third parties without my consent any
proprietary information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement relating to inventions that qualify fully for protection under the
provisions of Section 2870. I will preserve the confidentiality of any such
invention that does not qualify fully for protection under Section 2870. I agree
to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes,
sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of
all proprietary information developed by me and all inventions made by me during
the period of contract at the Company at all times.

3.       NO CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT; NO INDUCEMENT OF OTHER EMPLOYEES OR
SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS.

         I agree that during the period of my Agreement by the Company I will
not, without the Company's express written consent, engage in any other
employment or business activity directly related to the business in which the
Company is now involved or becomes involved, nor will I engage in any other
activities which conflict with my obligations to the Company. For the period of
my employment by the Company and for one (1) year after the date of termination
of my contract by the Company I will not induce any employee of the Company to
leave the employ of the Company.

         If any restriction set forth in this Section is found by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a
period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad of a
geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period
of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable.

4.       NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS.

         I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement as a
contractor of the Company does not and will not breach any Agreement or
obligation of mine relating to any time prior to my Agreement by the Company. I
have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any Agreement either
written or oral in conflict herewith.

5.       RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS.

         At termination of my contract with the Company, I will deliver to the
Company (and will not keep in my possession, photocopy or deliver to anyone
else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists,
correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials,
equipment, other documents or property, together with all copies thereof (in
whatever medium recorded) belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns
whether kept at the Company, home or elsewhere. Prior to leaving, I will
cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company's termination
statement for technical and management personnel confirming the above and my
obligations under this Agreement.

         I HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE UNAUTHORIZED TAKING OF
THE COMPANY'S TRADE SECRETS:

                  (i)      COULD RESULT IN CIVIL LIABILITY UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE
SECTION 3426, AND THAT, IF WILLFUL, COULD RESULT IN AN AWARD FOR TRIPLE THE
AMOUNT OF THE COMPANY'S DAMAGES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES; AND

                  (ii)     IS A CRIME UNDER CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE SECTION
444(C), PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT FOR A TIME NOT EXCEEDING ONE (1) YEAR, OR BY
A FINE NOT EXCEEDING FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000), OR BY BOTH.

6.       NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER.

         Upon termination of my contact with the Company, I hereby consent to
the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this
Agreement.

<PAGE>
                                                                               5

7.       LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.

         Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have
access to and become acquainted with the proprietary information of the Company,
the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its
provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief,
without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the
Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.

8.       GENERAL PROVISIONS

         (a)      GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION. This
Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State
of California, excluding conflicts of laws principles. I hereby expressly

California for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company arising from or
relating to this Agreement.

         (b)      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, and Exhibit A attached
hereto and hereby incorporated herein, sets forth the final, complete and
exclusive Agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to its
subject matter. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any
waiver of any rights under this Agreement will be effective unless in writing
and signed by both the Company and me. Any subsequent change or changes in my
duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this
Agreement.

         (c)      SEVERABILITY. If one or more of the provision in this
Agreement are deemed unenforceable by law, then the remaining provision will
continue in full force and effect.

         (d)      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon my
heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for
the benefit of the Company, its successors and its assigns.

         (e)      SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of my Agreement with the Company and the assignments of this
Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

         (f)      WAIVER. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this
Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by
the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of
any other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce
strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

         (g)      NOTICE. Any notices required or permitted thereunder shall be
given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other

                   ADESSO HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES, INC.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of this ____
day of ____________, 2000 by and between Adesso Healthcare Technology Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ____________ ("Indemnitee").

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty
in obtaining directors' and officers' liability insurance, the significant
increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the
coverage of such insurance;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting officers and directors
to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage
of liability insurance has been severely limited; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of
highly qualified individuals such as Indemnitee to serve as officers and
directors of the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors so as to
provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for Indemnitee's services as an officer
or director of the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

         1.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a)      THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or any
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of
any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or
by reason of the fact that Indemnitee 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 expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if
such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good
faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any

<PAGE>

criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful.

                  (b)      PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the
Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an
officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee 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 expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no
indemnification shall be made 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 the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the
court in which such action or suit was 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 which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other
court shall deem proper.

                  (c)      MANDATORY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. To the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 1, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

         2.       AGREEMENT TO SERVE. In consideration of the protection
afforded by this Agreement, if Indemnitee is a director of the Company, he or
she agrees to serve at least for the six months after the effective date of this
Agreement as a director and not to resign voluntarily during such period without
the written consent of a majority of the Board of Directors. If Indemnitee is an
officer of the Company not serving under an employment contract, he or she
agrees to serve in such capacity at least for the balance of the current fiscal
year of the Company and not to resign voluntarily during such period without the
written consent of a majority of the Board of Directors. Following the
applicable period set forth above, Indemnitee agrees to continue to serve in
such capacity at the will of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such
agreement exists) so long as he or she is duly appointed or elected and
qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company or until such time as he or she tenders
his or her resignation in writing. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment.

         3.       EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

                  (a)      ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall advance
all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation,
defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

criminal action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 1(a) or (b) hereof
(but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action, suit or
proceeding). Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only
if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances
to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within thirty
(30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the
Company.

                  (b)      NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall,
as a condition precedent to his or her right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any
claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought
under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the President
of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or
such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee).
Notice shall be deemed received three business days after the date postmarked if
sent by domestic certified or registered mail, properly addressed; or five
business days if sent by airmail to a country outside of North America;
otherwise notice shall be deemed received when such notice shall actually be
received by the Company. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such
information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within
Indemnitee's power.

                  (c)      PROCEDURE. Any indemnification and advances provided
for in Section 1 and this Section 3 shall be made no later than thirty (30) days
after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this
Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, providing for indemnification, is not
paid in full by the Company within thirty (30) days after a written request for
payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need
not, at any time thereafter, bring an action against the Company to recover the
unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 13 of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such
action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it
permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the
amount claimed. However, Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim
payments of expenses pursuant to Subsection 3(a) unless and until such defense
may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further
right of appeal exists. It is the parties' intention that if the Company
contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee's
right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the
failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or
subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is
proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard
of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the
Company (including it Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that
Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

                  (d)      NOTICE TO INSURERS. If, at the time of the receipt of
a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, the Company has director
and officer liability insurance in effect, the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding 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 amounts payable as a result
of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

                  (e)      SELECTION OF COUNSEL. In the event the Company shall
be obligated under Section 3(a) hereof to advance the expenses of any proceeding
against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the
defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon the
delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to request that the
Company advance expenses to Indemnitee. After delivery of such notice, approval
of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company,
the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees
of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same
proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or
her own counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee's expense; and (ii) if (A)
the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the
Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
material conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct
of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed
counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of
Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

         4.       ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY.

                  (a)      SCOPE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest
extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not
specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event
of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute,
or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member
of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be, IPSO FACTO,
within the purview of Indemnitee's rights and Company's obligations, under this
Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule
which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its
board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise
required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have
no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder.

                  (b)      NONEXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be
entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any
agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in
Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall
continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an
indemnified capacity even though he or she may have ceased to serve in such
capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.

         5.       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,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

fines or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by him or her in the
investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal action,
suit or 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.

         6.       MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Both the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy
may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this
Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company
has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in
certain circumstances for a determination of the Company's right under public
policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

         7.       OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall,
from time to time, make a good faith determination whether or not it is
practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of
insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and
directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to
ensure the Company's performance of its indemnification obligations under this
Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of
obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such
coverage. In all policies of director and officer liability insurance,
Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably
insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or the most
favorably insured of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of
the Company but is an officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company
determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the
premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage
provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so
as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar
insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company.

         8.       SEVERABILITY. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require
or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in
violation of applicable law. The Company's inability, pursuant to court order,
to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section 8. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

         9.       EXCEPTIONS. Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement:

                  (a)      CLAIMS INITIATED BY INDEMNITEE. To indemnify or

indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as
required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, but such
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in
specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing

or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which

parent or any of its subsidiaries; or

                  (d)      CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 16(B). To indemnify Indemnitee

         10.      CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN PHRASES.

                  (a)      For purposes of this Agreement, references to the
"Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in
a consolidation or merger with the Company, which constituent corporation, if
its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that if
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same
position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.

                  (b)      For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; and 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; and if Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest
of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the Company" as referred to in this Agreement.

         11.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

         12.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon
the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee's estate, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

         13.      ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action,
unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines
that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such
action were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action
instituted by or in the name of the Company 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 expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by
Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee's
counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such
action the court determines that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such
action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.

         14.      NOTICE. Except as provided in Section 3(b), all notices,
requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted
for by the party addressee on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by
domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third
business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are
as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by
written notice.

         15.      CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Company and Indemnitee each
hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which
arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted
under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of
Delaware.

         16.      CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as
applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed
entirely within Delaware without regard to the conflict of law principles
thereof.

         17.      PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no
cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal
action within such two-year period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any shorter
period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such
shorter period shall govern.

         18.      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 documents required and shall do
all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing signed by both 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
provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.

         20.      INTEGRATION AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth
the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges
all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.
