                        FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of ___this day of
_____________ by and between Wipro Limited, an Indian company (the "Company"),
and ________________ ("Indemnitee"). This agreement shall supersede all other
previous indemnification agreements entered between the Company and the
Indemnitee.

WHEREAS, the Company has issued its American Depositary Shares through a
registered public offering in the United States, and as a result, Indemnitee
will be exposed to litigation risks arising from claims that may be made under
U.S. laws;

WHEREAS, the company has taken a Directors and Officers liability insurance to
cover liabilities against the directors and officers of the company and its
subsidiaries and branches both in India and abroad more fully explained in
section 7 to 14 of this agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Indemnitee recognize the need for obtaining an
indemnification for its directors and officers in addition to the insurance
coverage, as the company and the indemnitee also recognise significant increases
in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such
insurance;

WHEREAS, certain interpretations of the law and "public policy" have created
uncertainity about activities of corporate directors and officers and the risk
of significant personal liability to the indemnitee;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate
under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other officers and directors
of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve as officers and directors
without additional protection; and

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

     NOW, THEREFORE, the company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY

     1.   Indemnification

     (a)  Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if
Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding arising under the laws
(other than an action in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of any action or inaction on the
part of Indemnitee while an officer or director, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such
settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with such action or proceeding if Indemnitee acted without
intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

     (b)  Proceeding in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding in the right of the
Company to procure a judgement in its favor by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company by reason of any action or inaction on the part of
Indemnitee while being an officer or director such expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with such action or proceeding if such action or proceeding is adjudged in favor
of Indemnitee.

     (c)  Scope.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement and the like only to the extent
permitted under Indian law. Provided however, that in the event there exists a
conflict between the applicable laws in India and the laws of any other country
and if indemnification is not

<PAGE>

permitted as per the laws one of these countries, such indemnification shall be
subject to special approvals etc that may be granted by the statutory
authorities in the country or countries.

     (d)  Non exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under
any other agreement to which Indemnitee is a party, including any
Indemnification Agreement entered into by and between Indemnitee and a
Subsidiary of the Company. The indemnification provided under this Agreement
shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving
in an indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in such
capacity at the time of any action or other covered proceeding.

     2.   Indemnification Procedure.

            (a)  Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee.

Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under
this Agreement, give the company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any
claim against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under
this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Managing Director
of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or
such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In
addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as
it may reasonably require and shall be within Indemnitee's power.

            (b)  Procedure. Any indemnification provided for in Section 1 shall
be Made within the period specified in section 11 of this agreement. If a claim
under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company's
Articles of Association or Memorandum of Association providing for
indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within the specified period,
Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the
Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 14 of
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses
(including attorneys' fees) or bringing such action. It shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action bought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in connection with any action or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it
permissible under applicable law for the company to indemnify Indemnitee for the
amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company
and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses
pursuant to Subsection 2(a) unless and until such defense may be finally
adjudicated by court order or judgement from which no further right of appeal
exists.

     3.   Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably
incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil
action or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such
expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

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

     5.   Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in
violation of applicable law. The Company's inability, pursuant to court order,
to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section 5. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

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

               officers' liability insurance purchased by the Company, together

               subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed
               action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or

               insured by such policy.

          (d)  The Company shall have no obligation to maintain D&O Insurance if

               reasonably available, the premium costs for such insurance is
               disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or the
               coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so
               as to provide an insufficient benefit.

     9.   Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee and
hold Indemnitee harmless from the Covered Amount of any and all Losses and
Expenses to the fullest extent authorized by the applicable laws as the same

indemnify Indemnitee and hold Indemnitee harmless for any Loss or Expense to the

               commencement of or the threat of commencement of any action, suit

               thereto may be sought from the Company under section 7 to 14 of
               this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof
               (but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it
               from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than
               under this Agreement or to the extent that the Company is not
               actually prejudiced thereby).

<PAGE>

          (b)  If, at the time of the receipt of notice, the Company has D&O
               Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
               commencement of such action, suit or proceeding to the insurers
               in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective

               pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all Losses and Expenses payable as
               a result of such action, suit or proceeding in accordance with
               the terms of such policies.

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

          (d)  All payments on account of the Company's indemnification
               obligations under this Agreement shall be made within thirty (30)
               days of Indemnitee's written request therefore unless a
               Determination is made that the claims giving rise to Indemnitee's
               request are Excluded Claims or otherwise not payable under this
               Agreement, provide, that all payments on account of the Company's
               obligations under Paragraph 11(c) of this Agreement prior to the
               final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding shall be made
               within 20 days of Indemnitee's written request therefor and such
               obligation shall not be subject to any such determination but
               shall be subject to Paragraph 11(e) of this Agreement. Following
               any Change of Control of the Company (resulting from change in
               shareholding of more than 20% due to a merger transaction or
               otherwise, or change in the majority of directors of the company)
               any Determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be
               made by independent legal counsel selected by Board of Directors,
               which independent legal counsel shall be retained by the Board of
               Directors on behalf of the Company.

          (e)  Indemnitee agrees that he will reimburse the company for all
               Losses and Expenses paid by the Company in connection with any
               action, suit or proceeding against Indemnitee in the event and
               only to the extent that a Determination shall have been made by a
               court in a final adjudication from which there is no further
               right of appeal that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be
               indemnified by the Company for such Expenses either because the
               claim is an Excluded Claim or because Indemnitee is otherwise not
               entitled to payment under this Agreement or by law.

          12.  Settlement. The Company shall have no obligations to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any
action, suit or proceeding effected without the Company's prior written consent.
The Company shall not settle any claim in any manner which would impose any
Fine, penalty or other limitation or obligation on indemnitee without
Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall
unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

          13.  Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided hereunder shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled
under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or of disinterested directors
or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in any
other capacity by holding such office, and shall continue after Director ceases
to serve the Corporation as a member of the Company's Board of Directors.

          14.  Enforcement

          (a) Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be enforceable by
Indemnitee notwithstanding any adverse Determination, other than a Determination
which has been made by a final adjudication of a court of competent
jurisdiction. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in
advance of its final disposition where the undertaking required under Paragraph
11(e) of this Agreement has been tendered to the Company) that Indemnitee has
not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under law to
indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Company regardless of whether a prior Determination has
been made by the Company that indemnification is, or is not, proper under the
circumstances.

<PAGE>

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

          15.  Severability- In the event that any provision of this Agreement
is determined by a court to require the Company to do or to fail to do an act
which is in violation of applicable law, such provision shall be limited or
modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a violation
of law, and, as so limited or modified, such provision and the balance of this
Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms.

more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

"Company") and [ ], [ ] of the Company (the "Executive").

      The Company has determined that both the Executive's performance and the
Company's ability to retain the Executive as an employee will be significantly
enhanced if the Executive is provided with fair and reasonable protection from a
Change of Control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company and the Executive
agree as follows:

      1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in
this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth herein or in Schedule A.

      2. Effective Date; Term. This Agreement shall be effective on the date
hereof and shall remain in effect until (a) the Company terminates this
Agreement by giving the Executive at least one (1) year advance written notice
of termination or (b) the effective date of any termination of the Executive's
employment with the Company, whether voluntary, involuntary, or for Cause, and
regardless of the reason for such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement shall, if in effect on the date of a Change of Control, remain in
effect for such time following a Change of Control as may be necessary to give
effect to the terms of the Agreement.

      3. Change of Control Benefits. Upon a Change of Control, the Executive
shall be entitled to the benefits provided herein.

            (a) Severance Payments. Within two (2) business days after a Change
      of Control, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount, in
      cash, equal to:

                  (i) three (3) times the sum of:

                        (A) the Executive's per annum base salary in effect on
                  the date of the Change of Control ("Base Salary"), and

                        (B) the Executive's bonus for the immediately preceding
                  fiscal year; and

                  (ii) the Executive's target bonus for the current fiscal year
            multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
            of days the Executive was employed by the Company in the fiscal year
            in which the Change of Control occurs and the denominator of which
            shall be 365.
<PAGE>
            (b) Continued Benefits. Until the earlier of the third anniversary
      of the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company after a
      Change of Control or the date on which the Executive becomes employed by a
      new employer, the Company shall, at its expense, provide the Executive
      with medical, dental, life insurance, disability and accidental death and
      dismemberment benefits ("Insurance Benefits") at the highest level
      provided to the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control,
      provided, however, that if the Executive becomes employed by a new
      employer which maintains Insurance Benefits that either (i) do not cover
      the Executive with respect to a pre-existing condition which was covered
      under the Company's Insurance Benefits, or (ii) do not cover the Executive
      for a designated waiting period, the Executive's coverage under the
      Company's Insurance Benefits shall continue, without limitation, until the
      earlier of the end of the applicable period of noncoverage under the new
      employer's Insurance Benefits or the third anniversary of the Change of
      Control.

            (c) Payment of Accrued But Unpaid Amounts. Within two (2) business
      days after a Change of Control, the Company shall pay the Executive (i)
      any unpaid portion of compensation previously earned by the Executive; and
      (ii) all compensation previously deferred by the Executive but not yet
      paid.

            (d) Post-Retirement Welfare Benefits. For purposes of determining
      the Executive's eligibility for post-retirement benefits under any welfare
      benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act of 1974, as amended) maintained by the Company immediately
      prior to the Change of Control and in which the Executive then
      participated, the Executive shall be credited with the excess of three (3)
      years of participation in the applicable plan and three (3) years of age
      over the actual years of participation and age credited to the Executive
      on the date of the Change of Control. If, after taking into account the
      credited participation and age, the Executive would have been eligible for
      post-retirement benefits, the Executive shall receive, commencing on the
      date of the Change of Control, post-retirement benefits based on the terms
      and conditions of the applicable plans in effect immediately prior to the
      Change of Control.

            (e) Effect on Existing Plans. All Change of Control provisions
      applicable to the Executive and contained in any plan, program, agreement
      or arrangement maintained on or after the date hereof by the Company
      (including, but not limited to, any stock option, restricted stock or
      pension plan) shall remain in effect for such period after the date of a
      Change of Control as is necessary to carry out such provisions and provide
      the benefits payable thereunder, and may not be altered in a manner which
      adversely affects the Executive without the Executive's prior written
      approval.

            (f) Outplacement Counseling. The Company shall reimburse all
      reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive for professional
      outplacement
<PAGE>
      services by qualified consultants selected by the Executive for a period
      of 12 months following a Change of Control.

      4. Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to seek other
employment after a Change of Control and any compensation earned from other
employment shall not reduce the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement.

      5. Gross-up.

            (a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or
      distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company, or any trust
      established by the Company for the benefit of its employees, to or for the
      benefit of the Executive (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this
      Agreement (a "Payment")) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
      Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code and any interest or penalties
      are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (the excise
      tax, together with interest and penalties thereon, hereinafter
      collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), the Executive shall be
      entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment") in an
      amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes, including,
      without limitation, any income taxes and the Excise Tax imposed upon the
      Gross-up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment
      equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

            (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), all determinations
      required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a
      Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-up Payment and
      the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be
      made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be
      designated by the Executive (the "Accounting Firm"). All fees and expenses
      of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-up
      Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the
      Company to the Executive within five (5) days after the receipt of the
      Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no
      Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall so indicate to the
      Executive in writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be
      binding upon the Company and the Executive.

            (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim
      by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
      payment by the Company of a Gross-up Payment. Such notification shall be
      given no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive is informed
      in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of
      the claim and the date of requested payment. The Executive shall not pay
      the claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following
      the date on which it gives notice to the Company. If the Company notifies
      the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of the period that it
      desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
<PAGE>
                  (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by
            the Company relating to such claim;

                  (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim
            as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to
            time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation
            with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the
            Company;

                  (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to
            effectively contest such claim; and

                  (iv) permit the company to participate in any proceedings
            relating to such claim.

            Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c),
      the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such
      contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all
      administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
      taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option,
      either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or
      contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to
      prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative
      tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
      courts, as the Company shall determine provided, however, that the Company
      shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional
      interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall
      indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any
      Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
      thereto) imposed as a result of the contest; provided, further, that if
      the Company directs the Executive to pay any claim and sue for a refund,
      the Company shall advance the amount of the payment to the Executive, on
      an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
      harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax
      (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with
      respect to the advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
      to the advance.

            (d) In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to
      Section 5(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of
      any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the
      Gross-up Payment required and such payment shall be promptly paid by the
      Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.

            (e) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by
      the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), the Executive becomes entitled to
      receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall
      promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any
      interest paid or credited
<PAGE>
      thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the
      Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), a
      determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any
      refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the
      Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior
      to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such
      advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the
      amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of
      Gross-up Payment required to be paid.

      6. Termination for Cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
prevent the Company from terminating the Executive's employment for Cause.

      7. Indemnification; Director's and Officer's Liability Insurance. The
Executive shall, after the Change of Control, retain all rights to
indemnification under applicable law or under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, as they may be amended or restated from time to time.
In addition, the Company shall maintain Director's and Officer's liability
insurance on behalf of the Executive, at the level in effect immediately prior
to the Change of Control, for the five (5) year period following the Change of
Control.

      8. Executive Covenants. During the twelve (12) month period following the
Change of Control, the Executive shall not disclose to any person, or use to the
significant disadvantage of any of the Company, any non-public information
relating to business plans, marketing plans, customers or employees of the
Company other than information the disclosure of which cannot reasonably be
expected to adversely affect the business of the Company ("Confidential
Information"), provided that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall prevent
the Executive from being employed by a competitor of the Company or utilizing
the Executive's general skills, experience, and knowledge, including those
developed while employed by the Company.

      9. Disputes. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Dallas,
Texas, or, at the option of the Executive, in the county where the Executive
then resides, in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect to be completed within 45 days after notice of such
dispute or controversy is given pursuant to Section 13. Judgment may be entered
on an arbitrator's award relating to this Agreement in any court having
jurisdiction.

      10. Costs of Proceedings. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements, at least monthly, of the Executive
in connection with any legal proceeding (including arbitration), whether or not
instituted by the Company or the Executive, relating to the interpretation or
enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except that if the Executive
instituted the proceeding and the judge, arbitrator or other individual
presiding over the proceeding affirmatively finds that the Executive instituted
the proceeding in bad faith, the Executive shall pay all costs and expenses,
including attorney's fees and disbursements, of the Executive.

obligations hereunder can be assigned or delegated by the Executive, without the
prior written consent of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the Company and the Executive and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns. If the Company shall be merged into or consolidated with
another entity, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the entity surviving such merger or resulting from such
consolidation. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
The provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply to each successive
employer of the Executive hereunder in the event of any merger, consolidation or
transfer of assets of a successor employer.

<PAGE>
                                   SCHEDULE A

                               CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

      As used in this Agreement, and unless the context requires a different
meaning, the following terms, when capitalized, have the meaning indicated:

      "Cause" shall mean:

            (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform
      substantially the Executive's duties with the Company (other than any such
      failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness),
      after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the
      Executive by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which
      the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the
      Executive's duties, or

            (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or
      gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the
      Company.

For purpose of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered willful unless it is done, or omitted to be done,
by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive's
action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure
to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the
Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively
presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and
in the best interests of the Company. The termination of employment of the
Executive shall not be deemed to be for cause unless and until there shall have
been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the
Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after
reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and Executive is given an
opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that,
in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct
described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above and specifying the particulars
thereof in detail.

      "Change of Control" shall mean the first to occur of any of the following
dates:

            (i) the date a Corporate Event is consummated;

            (ii) the date any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of
      the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, hereinafter the "1934 Act"), other
      than one or more trusts established by the Company for the benefit of
      employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, shall become the beneficial
      owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of fifteen
      percent (15%) or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, other
      than holders of such amounts as of the date hereof; or
<PAGE>
            (iii) the date, during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive
      months, on which individuals who at the beginning of such period
      constitute the entire Board of Directors of the Company shall cease for
      any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election, or the
      nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, of each new
      director comprising the majority was approved by a vote of at least a
      majority of the Continuing Directors in office on the date of such
      election or nomination for election of the new director. For purposes
      hereof, a "Continuing Director" shall mean:

                  (A) any member of the Board of Directors at the close of
            business on January 1, 2004;

                  (B) any member of the Board who succeeds any Continuing
            Director described in subparagraph (A) above if such successor was
            elected, or nominated for election by the Company's stockholders, by
            a majority of the Continuing Directors then still in office; or

                  (C) any director elected, or nominated for election by the
            Company's stockholders to fill any vacancy or newly created
            directorship on the Board of Directors of the Company by a majority
            of the Continuing Directors then still in office.

      "Corporate Event" shall mean any of the following:

            (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company
      is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares
      of the Company's Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or
      other property, other than any consolidation or merger of the Company in
      which the holders of the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to the
      consolidation or merger have the same proportionate ownership of common
      stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the consolidation or
      merger;

            (ii) any sale, lease, or other transfer of all, or substantially
      all, of the assets of the Company, other than any sale, lease, or other
      transfer to any corporation where the Company owns, directly or
      indirectly, at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding voting
      securities of the corporation after the transfer; or

            (iii) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
      Company.
