                                IASIAWORKS, INC.

                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                          ----------------------------

     I.   PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

          This Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests
of iAsiaWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible employees
with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation
through participation in a payroll deduction-based employee stock purchase plan
designed to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.

          Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the attached Appendix.

     II.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

          The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and
construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for
administering the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 423.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be
final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.

     III. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

          A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized
but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock
purchased on the open market. The number of shares of Common Stock initially
reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall be limited to Five Hundred
Thousand (500,000) shares.

          B. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January each
calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2001, by
an amount equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately
preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed
One Million (1,000,000) shares.

          C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange
of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class
without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments
shall be made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under
the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date, (iii) the maximum number and class of
securities purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date,
(iv) the maximum number
<PAGE>

and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase
automatically each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section III.B of
this Article One and (v) the number and class of securities and the price per
share in effect under each outstanding purchase right in order to prevent the
dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

     IV.  OFFERING PERIODS

          A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan
through a series of overlapping offering periods until such time as (i) the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.

          B. Each offering period shall be of such duration (not to exceed
twenty-four (24) months) as determined by the Plan Administrator prior to the
start date of such offering period. Offering periods shall commence at semi-
annual intervals on the first business day of May and November each year over
the term of the Plan. Accordingly, two (2) separate offering periods shall
commence in each calendar year the Plan remains in existence. However, the
initial offering period shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on
the last business day in October 2002.

          C. Each offering period shall consist of a series of one or more
successive Purchase Intervals. Purchase Intervals shall run from the first
business day in May to the last business day in October each year and from the
first business day in November each year to the last business day in April in
the following year. However, the first Purchase Interval in effect under the
initial offering period shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on
the last business day in October 2000.

          D. Should the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on any
Purchase Date within a particular offering period be less than the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the start date of that offering period, then
that offering period shall automatically terminate immediately after the
purchase of shares of Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and a new offering
period shall commence on the next business day following such Purchase Date. The
new offering period shall have a duration of twenty (24) months, unless a
shorter duration is established by the Plan Administrator within five (5)
business days following the start date of that offering period. All individuals
participating in the terminated offering period shall automatically be
transferred to the new offering period.

     V.   ELIGIBILITY

          A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start date of
any offering period under the Plan may enter that offering period on such start
date. However, an Eligible Employees may participate in only one offering period
at a time.

                                       2.
<PAGE>

          B. Except as provided in Section IV.D. above, an Eligible Employee
must, in order to participate in a particular offering period, complete the
enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan Administrator (including a stock
purchase agreement and a payroll deduction authorization) and file such forms
with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) on or before the start date of
that offering period.

     VI.  PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

          A. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of
acquiring shares of Common Stock during an offering period may be any multiple
of one percent (1%) of the Cash Earnings paid to the Participant during each
Purchase Interval within that offering period, up to a maximum of fifteen
percent (15%). The deduction rate so authorized shall continue in effect
throughout the offering period, except to the extent such rate is changed in
accordance with the following guidelines:

             (i)  The Participant may, at any time during the offering period,
     reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon as
     possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The
     Participant may not, however, effect more than one (1) such reduction per
     Purchase Interval.

             (ii) The Participant may, prior to the commencement of any new
     Purchase Interval within the offering period, increase the rate of his or
     her payroll deduction by filing the appropriate form with the Plan
     Administrator. The new rate (which may not exceed the fifteen percent (15%)
     maximum) shall become effective on the start date of the first Purchase
     Interval following the filing of such form.

          B. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day
administratively feasible following the start date of the offering period and
shall (unless sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day
ending with or immediately prior to the last day of that offering period. The
amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant's book account under
the Plan, but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time
outstanding in such account. The amounts collected from the Participant shall
not be required to be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be
commingled with the general assets of the Corporation and used for general
corporate purposes.

          C. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination
of the Participant's purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan.

          D. The Participant's acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any
Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant's acquisition of
Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the same or a
different offering period.

                                       3.

    VII.  PURCHASE RIGHTS

          A. Grant of Purchase Rights. A Participant shall be granted a separate
             ------------------------
purchase right for each offering period in which he or she is enrolled. The
purchase right shall be granted on the start date of the offering period and
shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase shares of Common Stock,
in a series of successive installments during that offering period, upon the
terms set forth below. The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement
embodying such terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan)
as the Plan Administrator may deem advisable.

          Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan
to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant,
own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or
other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation
or any Corporate Affiliate.

          B. Exercise of the Purchase Right. Each purchase right shall be
             ------------------------------
automatically exercised in installments on each successive Purchase Date within
the offering period, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be purchased
on behalf of each Participant on each such Purchase Date. The purchase shall be
effected by applying the Participant's payroll deductions for the Purchase
Interval ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole shares of Common
Stock at the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase
Date.

          C. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which Common Stock
             --------------
will be purchased on the Participant's behalf on each Purchase Date within the
particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be equal to
eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the start date of that offering period or (ii) the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date.

          D. Number of Purchasable Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
             ----------------------------
purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date during the particular
offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be the number of whole
shares obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through
payroll deductions during the Purchase Interval ending with that Purchase Date
by the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.
However, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed Seven Hundred Fifty (750)
shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the
Corporation's capitalization.  In addition, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable in total by all Participants in the Plan on any one
Purchase Date shall not exceed One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (125,000)
shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the
Corporation's capitalization.  However, the Plan Administrator shall have the
discretionary authority, exercisable prior to the start of any offering period
under the Plan, to increase or decrease the limitations to be in effect for the
number of shares purchasable per Participant and in total by all Participants
enrolled in that particular offering period on each Purchase Date which occurs
during that offering period.

                                       4.
<PAGE>

          E. Excess Payroll Deductions. Any payroll deductions not applied to
             -------------------------
the purchase of shares of Common Stock on any Purchase Date because they are not
sufficient to purchase a whole share of Common Stock shall be held for the
purchase of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date. However, any payroll
deductions not applied to the purchase of Common Stock by reason of the
limitation on the maximum number of shares purchasable per Participant or in
total by all Participants on the Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded.

          F. Termination of Purchase Right. The following provisions shall
             -----------------------------
govern the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

             (i)   A Participant may, at any time prior to the next scheduled
     Purchase Date in the offering period in which he or she is enrolled,
     terminate his or her outstanding purchase right by filing the appropriate
     form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no further payroll
     deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect to the
     terminated purchase right. Any payroll deductions collected during the
     Purchase Interval in which such termination occurs shall, at the
     Participant's election, be immediately refunded or held for the purchase of
     shares on the next Purchase Date. If no such election is made at the time
     such purchase right is terminated, then the payroll deductions collected
     with respect to the terminated right shall be refunded as soon as possible.

             (ii)  The termination of such purchase right shall be irrevocable,
     and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin the offering period for
     which the terminated purchase right was granted. In order to resume
     participation in any subsequent offering period, such individual must re-
     enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment
     forms) on or before the start date of that offering period.

             (iii) Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee
     for any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while his
     or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall
     immediately terminate, and all of the Participant's payroll deductions for
     the Purchase Interval in which the purchase right so terminates shall be
     immediately refunded. However, should the Participant cease to remain in
     active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the
     Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business
     day of the Purchase Interval in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw
     all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that
     Purchase Interval or (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares on
     his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase Date. In no event,
     however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the
     Participant's behalf during such leave. Upon the Participant's return to
     active service (x) within ninety (90) days following the commencement of
     such leave or (y) prior to the expiration of any longer period for which
     such Participant's right

                                       5.
<PAGE>

     to reemployment with the Corporation is guaranteed by statute or contract,
     his or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at
     the rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant
     withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return. An individual who
     returns to active employment following a leave of absence that exceeds in
     duration the applicable (x) or (y) time period will be treated as a new
     Employee for purposes of subsequent participation in the Plan and must
     accordingly re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the
     prescribed enrollment forms) on or before the start date of any subsequent
     offering period in which he or she wishes to participate.

          G. Change in Control. Each outstanding purchase right shall
             -----------------
automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any
Change in Control, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant for
the Purchase Interval in which such Change in Control occurs to the purchase of
whole shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to eighty-five
percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the start date of the offering period in which such individual is
enrolled at the time of such Change in Control or (ii) the Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in
Control. However, the applicable limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase,
but not the limitation applicable to the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date.

          The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten
(10) days' prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change in Control, and
Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to
terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the
Change in Control.

          H. Proration of Purchase Rights. Should the total number of shares of
             ----------------------------
Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any
particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance under
the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the
available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll
deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate
purchase price payable for the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall
be refunded.

          I. Assignability. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the
             -------------
Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.

          J. Stockholder Rights. A Participant shall have no stockholder rights
             ------------------
with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right
until the shares are purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of
the purchased shares.

                                       6.

    VIII. ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

          A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common
Stock pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the
extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock
accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar
rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of
Code Section 423)) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would
otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate
Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the
date or dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at
any time outstanding.

          B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase
rights granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:

             (i)  The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding
     purchase right shall accrue in a series of installments on each successive
     Purchase Date during the offering period in which such right remains
     outstanding.

             (ii) No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding
     purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already
     accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire Common Stock under
     one or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand
     Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the
     Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates of grant) for each
     calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding.

          C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a
Participant does not accrue for a particular Purchase Interval, then the payroll
deductions that the Participant made during that Purchase Interval with respect
to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.

          D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this
Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued
thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling.

    IX.   EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

          A. The Plan was adopted by the Board on April 11, 2000, and shall
become effective at the Effective Time, provided no purchase rights granted
under the Plan shall be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued
hereunder, until (i) the Plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of
the Corporation and (ii) the Corporation shall have complied with all applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of
any stock

exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common
Stock is listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by
law or regulation.  In the event such stockholder approval is not obtained, or
such compliance is not effected, within twelve (12) months after the date on
which the Plan is adopted by the Board, the Plan shall terminate and have no
further force or effect, and all sums collected from Participants during the
initial offering period hereunder shall be refunded.

         B. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate
upon the earliest of (i) the last business day in October, 2010, (ii) the date
on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been sold
pursuant to purchase rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date on which
all purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Change in Control. No
further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll
deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.

     X.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         A. The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time to become effective immediately following the close of any Purchase
Interval. However, the Plan may be amended or terminated immediately upon Board
action, if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Corporation will not
recognize, for financial reporting purposes, any compensation expense in
connection with the shares of Common Stock offered for purchase under the Plan,
should the financial accounting rules applicable to the Plan at the Effective
Time be subsequently revised so as to require the Corporation to recognize
compensation expense in the absence of such amendment or termination.

         B. In no event may the Board effect any of the following amendments or
revisions to the Plan without the approval of the Corporation's stockholders:
(i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan,
except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the
Corporation's capitalization, (ii) alter the purchase price formula so as to
reduce the purchase price payable for the shares of Common Stock purchasable
under the Plan or (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in
the Plan.

     XI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

         A. All costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan
shall be paid by the Corporation; however, each Plan Participant shall bear all
costs and expenses incurred by such individual in the sale or other disposition
of any shares purchased under the Plan.

         B. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to
continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate for any
period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way
the rights of the Corporation (or any Corporate Affiliate employing such person)
or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate such person's employment at any time for any reason, with or without
cause.

                               IASIAWORKS, INC.
                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

          THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into this          day of                 , 2000 between iAsiaWorks, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ("Name") ("Indemnitee").

          WHEREAS, Indemnitee, a member of the Board of Directors or an officer,
employee or agent of the Company, performs a valuable service in such capacity
for the Company;

          WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Company have adopted Bylaws (the
"Bylaws") providing for the indemnification of the officers, directors,
employees and agents of the Company to the maximum extent authorized by Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "Code");

          WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Code, by their non-exclusive nature,
permit contracts between the Company and the members of its Board of Directors,
officers, employees or agents with respect to indemnification of such directors,
officers, employees or agents;

          WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization as provided by the Code,
the Company either has purchased and presently maintains or intends to purchase
and maintain a policy or policies of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
("D & O Insurance") covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by its
directors and officers in the performance of their duties as directors and
officers of the Company;

          WHEREAS, as a result of developments affecting the terms, scope and
availability of D & O Insurance there exists general uncertainty as to the
extent of protection afforded members of the Board of Directors or officers,
employees or agents by such D & O Insurance and by statutory and bylaw
indemnification provisions; and

          WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as a
member of the Board of Directors, officer, employee or agent of the Company, the
Company has determined and agreed to enter into this contract with Indemnitee.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee's continued service as
a director, officer, employee or agent after the date hereof, and for other good
and valid consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.   Indemnification of Indemnitee.  The Company hereby agrees to hold
               -----------------------------
harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted
by the provisions of the Code, as may be amended from time to time.
<PAGE>

          2.  Additional Indemnity.  Subject only to the exclusions set forth
              --------------------
in Sections 3 and 6(c) hereof, the Company hereby further agrees to hold
harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

              (a)   against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
witness fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company) to which
Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise;
and

              (b)   otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to
Indemnitee by the Company under the non-exclusivity provisions of Article VII,
Section 6 of the Bylaws of the Company and the Code.

          3.  Limitations on Additional Indemnity.
              -----------------------------------

              (a)   No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by
the Company:

                  (i)   in respect to remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it
shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such
remuneration was in violation of law;

                  (ii)  on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered
against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale
by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;

                  (iii) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is finally
adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or to
constitute willful misconduct;

                  (iv)  on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is the subject
of an action, suit or proceeding described in Section 6(c)(ii) hereof;

                  (v)   on account of any action, claim or proceeding (other
than a proceeding referred to in Section 7(b) hereof) initiated by the
Indemnitee unless such action, claim or proceeding was authorized in the
specific case by action of the Board of Directors;

                  (vi)  if a final decision by a Court having jurisdiction in
the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful (and, in this
respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities
and Exchange Commission

                                       2
<PAGE>

believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal
securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and
that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for
adjudication); and

                  (vii) except to the extent the aggregate of losses to be
indemnified thereunder exceeds the sum of (a) such losses for which the
Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to Section 1 hereof and (b) any additional
amount paid to the Indemnitee pursuant to any D & O Insurance purchased and
maintained by the Company.

              (b)    No indemnity pursuant to Section 1 or 2 hereof shall be
paid by the Company if the action, suit or proceeding with respect to which a
claim for indemnity hereunder is made arose from or is based upon any of the
following:

                  (i)   Any solicitation of proxies by Indemnitee, or by a group
of which he was or became a member consisting of two or more persons that had
agreed (whether formally or informally and whether or not in writing) to act
together for the purpose of soliciting proxies, in opposition to any
solicitation of proxies approved by the Board of Directors.

                  (ii)  Any activities by Indemnitee that constitute a breach
of or default under any agreement between Indemnitee and the Company.

          4.  Contribution.  If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and
              ------------
2 hereof is unavailable by reason of a Court decision described in Section
3(a)(vi) hereof based on grounds other than any of those set forth in paragraphs
(i) through (v) of Section 3 (a) hereof, then in respect of any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly
liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such
action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other in connection with the events which
resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in
such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts.  The Company agrees that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4
were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

          5.  Notification and Defense of Claim.  Not later than thirty (30)
              ---------------------------------
days after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action,
suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the
commencement thereof; but Indemnitee's omission so to notify the Company will
not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to

                                       3
<PAGE>

Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action,
suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the
commencement thereof:

               (a)  The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its
own expense.

               (b)  Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it
may wish, the Company shall, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than
reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such action, suit or
proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from
the Company of the Company's assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the
expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has
been 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 the defense of such action; or (iii) the Company shall not in
fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action; in each of
which cases the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's separate counsel shall be paid
by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which
Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above.

               (c)  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without its written consent. The Company shall be permitted to settle
any action except that it shall not settle any action or claim in any manner
which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's
written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold
its consent to any proposed settlement.

          6.   Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.
               -------------------------------------

               (a)  In the event that Indemnitee employs his or her own counsel
pursuant to Sections 5(b)(i) through (iii) above, the Company shall advance to
Indemnitee, prior to any final disposition of any threatened or pending action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
any and all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in
investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding within ten (10)
days after receiving from Indemnitee copies of invoices presented to Indemnitee
for such expenses.

               (a)  Indemnitee agrees that Indemnitee will reimburse the Company
for all reasonable expenses paid by the Company in investigating or defending
any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding against Indemnitee in the event
and only to the extent it shall be ultimately determined by a final judicial
decision (from which there is no right of appeal) that Indemnitee is not
entitled, under the provisions of the Code, the Bylaws, this Agreement or
otherwise, to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses.

                                       4
<PAGE>

               (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to advance such expenses to Indemnitee in respect of any action arising
from or based upon any of the matters set forth in subsection (b) of Section 3
or if Indemnitee (i) commences any action, suit or proceeding as a plaintiff
unless such advance is specifically approved by a majority of the Board of
Directors or (ii) is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the
Company and approved by a majority of the Board which alleges willful
misappropriation of corporate assets by Indemnitee, disclosure of confidential
information in violation of Indemnitee's fiduciary or contractual obligations to
the Company, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of
Indemnitee's duty to the Company or its shareholders.

          7.   Enforcement.
               -----------

               (a)  The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has
entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Company
hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to continue as a director, officer,
employee or other agent of the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is
relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.

               (b)  In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to
enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful
in such action, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all Indemnitee's
reasonable fees and expenses, including attorney's fees, in bringing and
pursuing such action.

          8.   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.

          9.   Continuation of Obligations.  All agreements and obligations of
               ---------------------------
the Company contained herein shall commence upon the date that Indemnitee first
became a member of the Board of Directors or an officer, employee or agent of
the Company, as the case may be, and shall continue during the period Indemnitee
is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be
subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

          10.  Survival of Rights.  The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this
               ------------------
Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or other agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.

          11.  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights conferred on Indemnitee by
               -------------------------
this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any  other right which Indemnitee may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding office; provided, however, that this

                                       5
<PAGE>

Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior indemnification agreements
entered into by and between the Company and Indemnitee and that any such prior
indemnification agreement shall be terminated upon the execution of this
Agreement.

          12.  Separability.  Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a
               ------------
separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any or
all of the provisions hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof or the obligation of the Company
to indemnify the Indemnitee to the full extent provided by the Bylaws or the
Code.

          13.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced
               -------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

          14.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Indemnitee
               --------------
and upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of Indemnitee, his or her heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the
benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

          15.  Amendment and Termination.  No amendment, modification,
               -------------------------
termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing and is signed by both parties hereto.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on
and as of the day and year first above written.
