and affairs of the Company, and to use his best efforts to promote the
interests of Company and to perform faithfully and efficiently the
responsibilities assigned to him in accordance with the terms of this

responsibilities. Executive shall not, without the President's prior written
consent, render to others services of any kind for compensation, or engage in
any other business activity that would materially interfere with the
performance of his responsibilities under this Agreement. It is expressly
understood and agreed that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for

4.       RESULTS AND PROCEEDS.

         As Executive's employer, Company shall, by virtue of such relationship,
own all rights in and to the results and proceeds directly or indirectly

5.       COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

5.1       BASE SALARY. During the Term, Company shall compensate Executive for

Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($225,000) (the "Base Salary"). Executive

<PAGE>

         5.4 PERSONAL PAID TIME. Executive shall be entitled to Personal Paid
Time (including, without limitation four (4) weeks paid vacation and holidays
specified by the Company) in accordance with the policy applicable to Company
employees and shall not be entitled to paid vacation or sick time other than
Personal Paid Time. Executive shall only be allowed to carry over into the next
fiscal year ten (10) days of unused Personal Paid Time. All remaining unused
Personal Paid Time will be cashed out, such payment to consist only of Base
Salary for the unused Personal Paid Time and no other compensation or benefits.

         5.5 STOCK OPTIONS.

             (a) On April 1, 2000, Executive shall be granted a stock option
under the Compass Aerospace Corporation 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock
Incentive Plan") to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company
(the "Common Stock") with an exercise price equal to $1.47 per share.
Twenty-five percent of such option will vest on April 1, 2000, and the
remainder of such option will vest 25% per year on each of the three (3)
anniversary dates of April 1, 2000 beginning on the first such anniversary
date provided that, except as provided in Section 5.5(c) below, Executive is
employed by the Company on each such date. To the maximum extent possible
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the stock options granted pursuant
to this Section 5.5(a) and pursuant to Section 5.5(b) shall be intended to
qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code.

             (b) Executive shall be granted three additional stock options
under the Stock Incentive Plan, each such option to be granted no later than
the end of the first quarter of each of calendar years 2001, 2002, and 2003.
Each such option shall be an option for Executive to purchase not less than
30,000 shares of Common Stock and up to 120,000 shares of Common Stock with
an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of
the grant. The Board of Directors will determine in its discretion, based on
Executive's and Company's performance in the year immediately preceding the
grant, the number of shares of Common Stock to be made subject to the option
grant. Each such option will vest 25% per year on each of the four (4)
anniversary dates of the date of each grant provided that, except as provided
in Section 5.5(c) below, Executive is employed by the Company on each such
date. Fair market value will be as agreed by the Parties, or, if the Parties
cannot agree, it shall be the last price paid for Company's Common Stock in
an arm's-length transaction, including by way of conversion of any of
Company's other securities.

             (c) Notwithstanding the vesting provisions of Sections 5.5(a)
and (b) above, all stock options that have been granted to Executive prior to
the date of the expiration of the Term of this Agreement and that have not
vested at such time shall become fully vested and exercisable at that time if
the Company chooses not to renew or extend Executive's employment (unless
such termination of employment is for Cause).

                                     -3-

<PAGE>

Such vesting shall not occur upon the expiration of the Term of this
Agreement if Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company
at such time.

             (d) Customary antidilution protection shall apply as relates to
the number of shares subject to any stock option (e.g., in the event of stock
splits) but excluding antidilution protection as relates to the percentage of
Common Stock subject to such option (e.g., in the event of new stock
issuances). Furthermore, there shall be immediate vesting of all options in
the event that Executive dies or becomes disabled or there is a change in
control (which shall occur if any entity other than the shareholders as of
the effective date hereof or their successors acquire 51% or more of the
Common Stock or if Company sells all or substantially all of Company's
assets).

         5.6 EXECUTIVE'S REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING STOCK. Executive
represents that he will retain and consult with his own professional advisors
to review and evaluate the economic, tax and other consequences of the stock
options. Executive further represents that any interest he may acquire will
be acquired for investment purposes only and that he understands that there
is no public market for any of the securities comprising the stock options
and that the securities he will receive are subject to restrictions on both
transferability and resale, and may not be transferred or resold except as
permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the applicable
state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. The
shares of stock issuable to Executive shall bear an appropriate legend
setting out restrictions on transfer and the fact that the securities have
not been registered.

         5.7 WITHHOLDING ON STOCK OPTIONS. The Company shall deduct from all
stock issued under the Stock Options any federal, state, or local taxes
required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. In the
alternative, Executive may pay to the Company the amount of any such taxes
which the Company is required to withhold with respect to the grant or
delivery of stock.

         5.8 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES. Shares of Common Stock
issued to Executive pursuant to the stock options will be transferable only
in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement (in the form and substance set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto) and Section 21 of the Stock Incentive
Plan. As permitted under Section 21 of the Stock Incentive Plan, it is hereby
provided that the restrictions on transfer of the shares issued to Executive
shall lapse and cease to have effect upon any of the following: (1) the first
date on which the Common Stock is held of record by more than 500 persons,
(2) determination by the Board that a public market exist for the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or (3) the consummation of an initial public offering.

         5.9 BENEFITS. In addition to the other benefits provided herein,
Executive shall be entitled to participate in such medical, dental,
prescription drug, vision, health care spending account, 401(k) saving and
retirement, short-term disability insurance, long-term disability insurance,
or other employee welfare benefit plans as the Company may offer to and
maintain for the benefit of its Corporate officers and as changed from time-

                                     -4-
<PAGE>

to-time, subject to Executive's fulfilling all applicable eligibility
requirements of each such plan. No statement concerning benefits or
compensation to which Executive is entitled alters in any way the Term of
Employment or the termination of this Agreement.

                                     -5-

         5.10 TRANSITION AND MOVING EXPENSES.

              (a) Company shall pay relocation expenses in accordance with
the Compass Executive Relocation Program (Exhibit B attached hereto), except
that one month's Base Salary for unidentified incidental expenses will be
paid instead of one-half month's Base Salary.

              (b) Company will pay for an outside third party relocation
service to provide home sale services in connection with Executive's current
residence as follows. Executive will have 90 days after the relocation
service makes a "Fallback Offer" (based on two independent ERC appraisals,
except that if they are not within 5% of each other a third appraisal will be
used) to sell his residence. During this 90-day marketing period, Executive
may utilize the equity advance program in Section 6 of the Compass Executive
Relocation Program to purchase a home in the new location. If at the end of
the 90-day marketing period the residence has not been sold, Executive may
accept the "Fallback Offer." If the residence is sold during the 90-day
marketing period, Executive must contact the relocation service PRIOR to
signing the final sales contract. The relocation service will handle all the
closing arrangements. Executive will receive his equity immediately and
Company will pay the broker's fee and many of Executive's normal escrow
closing charges.

         5.11 BONUS.

              (a) Executive will be eligible for a cash bonus for calendar
year 2000 to be paid if he achieves performance milestones established by the
Board of Directors, except that Company will pay Executive a bonus of not
less than One Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) for
calendar year 2000 regardless of whether he achieves the performance
milestones (the "Guaranteed Bonus"). The Company will pay Executive as an
advance of a portion of the Guaranteed Bonus the sum of Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) (the "Guaranteed Bonus Advance"), such payment to be made
no later than ten (10) days after the effective date hereof. If Executive's
employment by Company terminates pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.5 hereof on or
before December 31, 2000, Executive will pay back to Company the Guaranteed
Bonus Advance, such payment to be made no later than ten (10) days after
Executive's employment terminates.

              (b) Executive will be eligible for a bonus for calendar year
2001 to be paid if the Company achieves performance milestones established by
the Board of Directors. The amount of the bonus will not be less than
Executive's Base Salary for full achievement of the performance milestones
and in no event will exceed twice Executive's Base Salary in the event of
achievement beyond the performance milestones. If Executive is entitled to a
bonus pursuant to this Section 5.11(b), such bonus will be paid 50% in cash
and 50% in stock options. For this purpose, the dollar value of such stock
options will be deemed to be the amount that results from multiplying

                                     -6-
<PAGE>

the number of shares to be granted under the stock options times their fair
market value at the time of grant.

              (c) Bonus shall be paid as soon as practicable after Company's
Board of Directors evaluates Executive's and Company's achievement, which
evaluation shall occur no later than the end of the first quarter following
fiscal year end.

              (d) During the Extended Term, if any, after the Initial Term,
Executive shall be eligible to participate in any bonus plan Company
maintains for its senior executives.

              (e) No bonus shall be paid to Executive with respect to a
fiscal year during which this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 7
hereof; provided, however, if Executive remains employed pursuant to this
Agreement for at least six (6) months of such fiscal year and this Agreement
terminates pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.4 he will be entitled to a
pro-rata share of the bonus provided pursuant to Section 5.11(b).

6.       COVENANTS.  Executive covenants in favor of Company as follows:

6.1       TRADE SECRETS OF OTHERS. Executive represents that Executive's
performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach
any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, material or
trade secrets acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to
Executive's rendering of services to Company. Executive agrees not to enter
into any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

6.2       CONFIDENTIALITY; TRADE SECRETS. Executive acknowledges that his
position with Company is one of the highest trust and confidence both by
reason of his position and by reason of his access to and contact with the
trade secrets and confidential and proprietary business information of
Company. Executive agrees that during the Term of Employment and thereafter:

a.       He shall protect and safeguard the trade secrets and confidential
and proprietary information of Company, including (by way of illustration and
not limitation) its arrangements with vendors, customers and joint venture
partners (referred to collectively as Company's "contractors"); its data,
records, patents, licenses, trademarks, copyrights, compilations of
information, processes, programs, know-how, improvements, discoveries,
marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, unpublished financial statements,
budgets, projections, licenses, prices, costs, files, documents, drawings,
memoranda, notes, or other documents, whether maintained electronically or in
hard copy (all such information is hereinafter called the "Proprietary
Information"); other than information known to him before the date hereof or
learned from third Parties without breach of any obligation of
confidentiality or otherwise to Company, or in the public domain;

b.       He shall not disclose any of such Proprietary Information, except as
may be required in the ordinary course of performing his duties as an
employee of Company; and

                                     -7-
<PAGE>

c.       He shall not use, directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or for
the benefit of another, any of such Proprietary Information, other than for
the benefit of Company as may be required in the ordinary course of
performing his duties as an employee of Company.

The Proprietary Information shall be the exclusive property of Company.
Executive agrees that He shall deliver to Company all files, records,
documents, drawings, memoranda, and other materials, whether electronic or
hard copy, relating to the Proprietary Information or pertaining to his work
with Company in the event of either Company's request or the termination of
his employment for any reason, and that he will not take with him any of the
foregoing or any reproduction of any of the foregoing.

         6.3 INDUCEMENT. Executive shall not during the Term of Employment
and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, directly or indirectly, employ,
cause others to employ, or attempt to induce others to employ, any employees
of the Company or attempt to induce said employees to gain or seek other
employment.

         6.4 REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE. The covenants set
forth in Section 6 of this Agreement shall continue to be binding upon
Executive, notwithstanding the termination of his employment with Company for
any reason whatsoever. Such covenants shall be deemed and construed as
separate agreements independent of any other provisions of this Agreement and
any other agreement between Company and Executive. The existence of any claim
or cause of action by Executive against Company, whether predicated on this
Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
Company of any or all of such covenants. If Executive breaches or threatens
to breach any of the covenants in Section 6 of this Agreement, the Parties
acknowledge and agree that the damage or imminent damage to Company's
business and/or its goodwill would be irreparable and extremely difficult to
estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly,
Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against Executive in the event
of any breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Section 6,
in addition to any other relief (including damages) available to Company
under this Agreement or under law.

         6.5 LITIGATION. Executive agrees that during the Term of Employment
and thereafter Executive shall do all things, including the giving of
evidence in suits and other proceedings, which Company shall deem necessary
to obtain, maintain, defend, or assert rights accruing to Company during the
Term of Employment and in connection with which Executive has knowledge,
information, or expertise. All reasonable expenses incurred by Executive
during the Term of Employment or thereafter in fulfilling the duties set
forth in this Section, shall be reimbursed by Company to the full extent
legally appropriate, including without limitation a reasonable payment for
Executive's time in the event this Agreement has terminated prior to the time
Executive renders such duties.

                                     -8-
<PAGE>

         6.6 FUTURE COOPERATION. The Parties hereto agree to cooperate with
each other from and after the date hereof, and to supply any information and
to execute documents reasonably required for the purposes of giving effect to
this Agreement or in connection with the consummation of any actions
contemplated hereby, all without additional compensation except as provided
in Section 6.5.

7.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement and the employment of
Executive hereunder shall terminate upon the occurrence of the first to occur
of the following events or conditions, and the Parties shall remain subject
to the following conditions and covenants after termination:

7.1      EXPIRATION OF TERM.  This Agreement shall terminate upon expiration
of the Term of Employment specified in Section 2 hereof.

7.2      DEATH OR INCAPACITY. This Agreement shall automatically terminate
upon the death or Incapacity of Executive. Subject to the Americans with
Disabilities Act and applicable state law, "Incapacity" shall mean
Executive's inability by reason of mental or physical condition to perform
substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder for a
continuous period of three (3) months or more, or for any aggregate period of
four (4) months or more in any twelve-month period whether or not continuous.
In the event of a dispute as to the existence of any such disability,
Executive agrees to submit to medical or psychiatric examinations conducted
by physicians mutually agreed upon by Company and Executive and to be bound
by any determination made by such physicians.

7.3      CAUSE. Company may terminate Executive's employment for Cause.
"Cause" shall mean (i) an act of dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement, breach of
trust, misappropriation, acceptance of a bribe or kickback or other similar
activity on Executive's part; (ii) a willful and deliberate act by Executive
in bad faith and to the detriment of Company or; (iii) a determination by
Company in good faith that there has been neglect by Executive of such
Executive's duties, chronic absenteeism, unacceptable performance, or any
material breach or violation of Executive's obligations (including, without
limitation, any failure to implement material policies or procedures
established by Company for the transaction of business by Company) or
covenants pursuant to this Agreement, but only if any of such conduct is not
rectified to the satisfaction of Company by Executive within a period of not
less than 90 days after written notification to Executive of such conduct; or
(iv) the conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere, of Executive of a felony
or a crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude. Executive's
termination for Cause shall be effective immediately upon notice to
Executive. If Executive's employment is terminated for Cause, or if Executive
voluntarily terminates his employment, Company shall pay Executive his
prorated Base Salary through the effective date of the termination of
employment (which shall be no earlier than the date of notice thereof to
Executive) at the rate in effect at the time of such termination, and Company
shall have no further obligations to Executive under this

                                     -9-
<PAGE>

Agreement. Executive shall forfeit all benefits, rights, and Stock Options
which have not vested as of the effective date of termination.

7.4       OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE. Company may terminate Executive's employment
other than for Cause. If Company terminates Executive's employment other than
for Cause, Company shall pay Executive his Base Salary, prorated to a monthly
sum, for each of six months, such payments to be payable in installments at
such time as Executive would have been paid the Base Salary had the Term of
Employment continued. All amounts which are vested benefits or to

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

which Executive is otherwise entitled under any employee benefits plan of
Company shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such plan. Executive's
termination other than for Cause shall be effective immediately upon notice to
Executive.

         7.5 TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE Executive may terminate his employment by
Company at any time, with or without cause, by providing Company thirty (30)
days' advance written notice. Company will have the option, in its complete
discretion, to make Executive's termination of employment effective at any time
after receipt of such notice and prior to the end of such notice period,
provided Company pays Executive all compensation due and owing through the last
day actually worked plus an amount equal to the Base Salary Executive would have
earned through the balance of the notice period, and thereafter all of Company's
obligations under this Agreement terminate.

         7.6 CONTINUATION OF COVENANTS. Notwithstanding termination of his
employment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, the obligations of
Executive set forth in Sections 5.3, 5.8, 6, 10 and 11 herein shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

8.           ASSIGNMENT.

8.1           BY EXECUTIVE. This Agreement is personal to Executive and
without the prior written consent of Company (which consent may be withheld
in Company's sole discretion) shall not be assignable by Executive. Executive
shall not have the right to sell, transfer, or assign the right to receive
payments or benefits hereunder, and any such attempted assignment or transfer
shall terminate this Agreement for Cause at the option of Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may convey by will, intestacy, or
other method of estate planning all payments and benefits hereunder to which
he is entitled upon his death.

8.2           BY COMPANY. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon Company, its successors and assigns, including
without limitation any corporation which may acquire all or substantially all
of Company's assets and business, or with or into which Company may be
consolidated, merged, or reorganized. Upon any such merger, consolidation or
reorganization, the term "Company" as used herein shall be deemed to refer to
such successor corporation.

9.           SEVERABILITY. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement
shall for any reason be held by an arbitrator or court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision or clause were omitted and had never been contained
herein. In the event any provision of this Agreement is determined by an
arbitrator or court to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended for
too great a period of time or over too great a range of activities, the
Parties hereto agree that the affected provision shall be

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time or range of
activities as to which it may be enforceable.

10.           ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. Except as otherwise provided herein,
any dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement, or
from any other aspect of Executive's employment or the termination thereof,
including but not limited to alleged violations of federal, state, and/or
local statutes (for example, claims for discrimination including but not
limited to discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, religion,
national origin, age, marital status, medical condition as defined under
California law, handicap, or disability, and claims relating to leaves of
absence mandated by state or federal law), breach of any contract or covenant
(express or implied), tort claims, violation of public policy, or any other
alleged violation of Executive's statutory, contractual, or common law rights
(and including claims against Company's officers, directors, employees, and
agents), which Executive and Company or other party are unable to resolve
through direct discussion, regardless of the kind or type of dispute
(excluding claims for workers' compensation or unemployment insurance,
administrative charges of employment discrimination or retaliation, and any
solely monetary dispute within the jurisdiction of small claims court) shall
be decided by final and binding arbitration in the County of Los Angeles,
State of California in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's
("AAA") National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes (the
"Rules"). Executive and Company each have the right to be represented by
counsel with respect to arbitration of any dispute pursuant to this
paragraph. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement between Executive
and Company, but if they do not agree on the selection of an arbitrator
within 30 days after the date of the request for arbitration, the arbitrator
shall be selected pursuant to the Rules. At the request of either Company or
Executive, arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the utmost secrecy,
and, in such case, all documents, testimony and records shall be received,
heard, and maintained by the arbitrator in secrecy, available for inspection
only by Company and Executive and their respective attorneys and experts who
shall agree, in advance and in writing, to receive all such information
confidentially and to maintain the secrecy of such information until such
information shall become generally known. The arbitrator shall have authority
to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees to the greatest extent
permitted by law, including but not limited to any remedy or relief that a
court may order. The fees of the arbitrator shall be split equally between
the Parties. Except for a breach or threatened breach of Section 6 of this
Agreement, the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all
claims between the Parties, including but not limited to whether any
particular claim is arbitrable and whether all or any part of this Agreement
is void or unenforceable.

11.          LEGAL FEES. Without implying consent to or agreeing to any legal
proceeding other than arbitration as provided in Section 10 herein, in the
event of any arbitration proceeding, administrative proceeding, or litigation
between the Parties relating to or arising from this Agreement, the
prevailing Party in such proceeding or litigation shall be entitled to
recover all reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

12.          GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, and each and every related
document, are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

                  This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of [ ], 1999, by and among MORTON'S RESTAURANT GROUP, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "MRG"), each subsidiary of the Company, whether now
existing or hereafter acquired or established, for which the Indemnitee serves,
will serve or has served as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
(each a "Subsidiary" and, collectively, the "Subsidiaries"; references herein to
the "Company" shall mean each of MRG or a Subsidiary, as the case may be,
severally and not jointly) and [ ] (the "Indemnitee").

                  WHEREAS, highly competent persons are becoming more reluctant
to serve publicly-held corporations as directors and officers or in other
capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection against risks of
claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities
on behalf of the corporation;

                  WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined
that the potential inability to attract and retain such persons would be
detrimental to the best interests of the Company's stockholders and that the
Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty
of such protection in the future;

                  WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the
Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify such persons to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue
to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so
indemnified; and

<PAGE>

                  WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve
and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the
condition that the Indemnitee be so indemnified;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
covenants contained herein, the Company and the Indemnitee do hereby covenant
and agree as follows: Section 1. SERVICES BY THE INDEMNITEE. The Indemnitee
agrees to serve or continue to serve, as applicable, as a director or officer of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries. This Agreement does not create or
otherwise establish any right on the part of the Indemnitee to be and continue
to be nominated as a director or be and continue to be appointed as an officer
of the Company.

                  Section 2. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify the
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the
date hereof or as such laws may from time to time be amended. Without
diminishing the scope of the indemnification provided by this Section 2, the
rights of indemnification of the Indemnitee provided hereunder shall include,
but shall not be limited to, those rights set forth hereinafter, except to the
extent expressly prohibited or limited by applicable law.

                  Section 3. ACTION OR PROCEEDING OTHER THAN AN ACTION BY OR IN
THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the
indemnification rights provided in this Section 3 if the Indemnitee is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative in nature, other than an action by or in the right of the Company,
by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee,

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

agent or fiduciary of any other entity or by reason of anything done or not done
by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. Pursuant to this Section 3, the
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding (including, but not limited to, the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal thereof), if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner the 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 the Indemnitee's conduct was
unlawful.

                  Section 4. ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. The
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this
Section 4 if the Indemnitee is made a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in the
right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other entity or by reason of
anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. Pursuant to
this Section 4, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with such action or suit (including, but not limited to, the
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal thereof) if the Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that, no such
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which applicable law expressly prohibits such indemnification by reason of an
adjudication of liability of the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Indemnitee 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 such adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as such
court shall deem proper.

                  Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF SUCCESSFUL PARTY.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that the
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including, without
limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice) in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 3 or 4 hereof, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee's behalf in connection
therewith.

                  Section 6. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS. To the
extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of the Indemnitee's Corporate Status
(as defined in Section 18 hereof), a witness in any action, suit or proceeding,
the Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee's behalf in
connection therewith.

                  Section 7. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If the Indemnitee is only
partially successful in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any
action, suit or proceeding described in Section 3 or 4 hereof, and as a result
is not entitled under Section 5 hereof to indemnification by the Company for the
total amount of the expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee's or on the Indemnitee's behalf in connection
therewith, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee, as a matter
of right

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 5 hereof, to the extent the Indemnitee has been partially
successful. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be interpreted so
as to limit any rights that the Indemnitee may otherwise have under Section 3 or
4 hereof.

                  Section 8. DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION.
Upon written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 3
or 4 hereof, the entitlement of the Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the following person or
persons who shall be empowered to make such determination: (a) by a majority
vote of the Disinterested Directors (as defined in Section 18 hereof), even
though less than a quorum; or (b) by a committee of Disinterested Directors
designated by majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less
than a quorum; or (c) if the vote contemplated by clause (a) or (b) is not
obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a majority of the Disinterested Directors
so direct, by Independent Counsel (as defined in Section 18 hereof) in a written
opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
Indemnitee; or (d) by the stockholders. Any Independent Counsel selected
pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding sentence shall be approved by the
Indemnitee. Upon failure to so select such Independent Counsel or upon failure
of the Indemnitee to so approve, such Independent Counsel shall be selected by
the Chancellor of the State of Delaware or such other person as the Chancellor
shall designate to make such selection.

                  A determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be
made not later than 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written request
for indemnification addressed to the Secretary of the Company. Such request
shall include documentation or information which is necessary for such
determination and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee. Any expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Indemnitee's request for indemnification hereunder shall be borne by the Company
and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Indemnitee harmless
therefrom irrespective of the outcome of the determination of the Indemnitee's
entitlement to indemnification. If the person making such determination shall
determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as to part (but not
all) of the application for indemnification, such person shall reasonably
prorate such partial indemnification among the applicable claims, issues or
matters.

                  Section 9. PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS. The
Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of the Indemnitee's
request for indemnification, advise in writing the Board of Directors or such
other person or persons empowered to make the determination as provided in or
pursuant to Section 8 that the Indemnitee has made such request for
indemnification. Upon making such request for indemnification, the Indemnitee
shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company
shall have the burden of proof in the making of any determination contrary to
such presumption. If the person or persons so empowered to make such
determination shall have failed to deny the request for indemnification within
60 days after receipt by the Company of such request, the requisite
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been
made and the Indemnitee shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification,
absent actual and material fraud in the request for indemnification. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 3 or 4 hereof
by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE
or its equivalent, shall not, of itself: (a) create a presumption that the
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the 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, that the
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the Indemnitee's conduct

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

was unlawful; or (b) otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to
indemnification, except as may be specifically provided herein.

                  Section 10. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. Notwithstanding any other
Section hereof (including, without limitation, Section 8 or 9), all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Indemnitee (including attorneys' fees (which shall
include, without limitation, retainers and advances of disbursements required of
the Indemnitee)) shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative in nature, at the request of the Indemnitee
within twenty days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements
from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time.
Expenses for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid in advance shall
include, without limitation, those incurred in connection with any proceeding by
the Indemnitee seeking an adjudication or award in arbitration pursuant to this
Agreement. Any statement or statements contemplated by the first sentence of
this paragraph shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee
and shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay the amounts set forth therein if it is ultimately determined
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses by
the Company as provided by this Agreement or otherwise. The Company shall have
the burden of proof in any determination under this Section 10.

                  Section 11. REMEDIES OF THE INDEMNITEE IN CASES OF
DETERMINATION NOT TO INDEMNIFY OR TO ADVANCE EXPENSES. In the event that a
determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder or if payment has not been timely made following a determination of
entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8 and 9, or if expenses are
not timely advanced pursuant to Section 10, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
seek

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

a final adjudication in the Delaware Court of Chancery, first, and then (if the
Delaware Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction to make such adjudication)
in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of the Indemnitee's entitlement to
such indemnification or advance. Alternatively, the Indemnitee, at the
Indemnitee's option, may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek an
award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the
rules of the American Arbitration Association, such award to be made within 60
days following the filing of the demand for arbitration. The Company shall not
oppose the Indemnitee's right to seek any such adjudication or award in
arbitration or any other claim, in each case to the extent permitted by
applicable law. Such judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be made DE NOVO
and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination by the
Company (if so made) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. If
a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of
Section 8 or 9 hereof that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the
Company shall be bound by such determination and is precluded from asserting
that such determination has not been made or that the procedure by which such
determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. The Company
further agrees to stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that
the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded
from making any assertion to the contrary. If the court or arbitrator shall
determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification or advance
hereunder, the Company shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication
or award in arbitration (including, but not limited to, any appellate
proceedings).

                  Section 12. OTHER RIGHTS TO INDEMNIFICATION. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

rights to which the Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or under any agreement
or law or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or to which the
Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled.

                  Section 13. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES TO ENFORCE
AGREEMENT. In the event that the Indemnitee is subject to or intervenes in any
action, suit or proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement is at issue or seeks an adjudication or award in arbitration to
enforce the Indemnitee's rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this
Agreement, the Indemnitee, if the Indemnitee prevails in whole or in part in
such action, suit or proceeding, shall be entitled to recover from the Company,
and shall be indemnified by the Company against, all reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually incurred by the Indemnitee, provided that,
in bringing the advancement action, the Indemnitee acted in good faith. Nothing
contained in this Section 13 shall limit the rights of the Indemnitee under any
other Section hereof, including, without limitation, Section 11.

                  Section 14. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall apply
with respect to the Indemnitee's occupation of any of the position(s) described
in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement prior to the date of this Agreement and
with respect to all periods of such service after the date of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns
(including any transferee of all or substantially all of its assets and any
successor by merger or operation of law) and shall inure to the benefit of the
Indemnitee and the Indemnitee's spouse, assigns, heirs, devises, executors,
administrators or other legal representatives, even though the Indemnitee may
have ceased to occupy any or all of the positions described in Sections 3 and 4
of this Agreement.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                  Section 15. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
(a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement (including without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of
this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent
possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

                  Section 16. IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be
an original but both of which together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom
enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this
Agreement.

                  Section 17. HEADINGS. The headings of the paragraphs of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to
constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

                  Section 18. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement:

                         (a) "Corporate Status" shall mean the status of a
person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Company or any majority owned subsidiary or of any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
that such person is or was serving at the request of the Company.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

                         (b) "Disinterested Director" shall mean a director of
the Company who is not a party to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of
which indemnification is being sought by the Indemnitee.

                         (c) "Independent Counsel" shall mean a law firm or a
member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past five years has
been retained to represent: (i) the Company or the Indemnitee in any matter
material to either such party; or (ii) any other party to the action, suit or
proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include any person who,
under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would
have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee
in an action to determine the Indemnitee's right to indemnification under this
Agreement.

                  Section 19. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. No supplement,
modification or amendment to or of this Agreement shall be binding unless
executed in writing by 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.

                  Section 20. NOTICE BY THE INDEMNITEE. The Indemnitee agrees
promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons,
citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document
relating to any matter which may be subject to indemnification hereunder,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative in nature or otherwise;
provided, however, that, the failure to so notify the Company will not relieve
the Company from any liability it may have to the Indemnitee, except to the
extent that such failure materially prejudices the Company's ability to defend
such claim. With respect to any

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

action, suit or proceeding to which the Indemnitee notifies the Company of the
commencement thereof:

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

                         (b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent
that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to the
Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation or as otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ the Indemnitee's own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company
of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the
Indemnitee and not subject to indemnification hereunder unless (i) the
employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii)
in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee there is or may be a
conflict of interest between the Company and the 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 counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

                  Section 21. SETTLEMENT. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee
shall settle any claim without the prior written consent of the other, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
