- -------------------------

contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by operation of law), in
which event the Corporation shall have no obligation under this Agreement to
continue the Indemnitee in any such position.

     3.   Indemnification.
          --------------- 

          a.   Proceedings Brought by Third Parties.  In the event the
               ------------------------------------                           
     Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant
     in, a Proceeding, other than a Proceeding brought by or in the right of the
     Corporation, by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable
     Event, the Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee against Expenses and
     Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on his or
     her behalf in connection with such Proceeding, including the costs of any
     investigation, defense, settlement or appeal, to the fullest extent
     permitted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws
     of the Corporation in effect on the date hereof or as such law, Certificate
     of Incorporation or Bylaws may from time to time be amended (but, in the
     case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the
     Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the law, the
     Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws permitted the Corporation to
     provide before such amendment).

          b.   Proceedings Brought By or in the Right of the Corporation.  In
               ---------------------------------------------------------       
     the event the Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other
     participant in, a Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation
     by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the
     Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee against Expenses and Liabilities
     actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such Proceeding by the
     Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding,
     including the costs of any investigation, defense, settlement or appeal,
     unless the Reviewing Party reasonably determines that the Indemnitee would
     be precluded from indemnification under applicable law.

          c.   Proceedings Brought by the Indemnitee.  Notwithstanding anything
               -------------------------------------                           
     in this Agreement to the contrary and except as provided in Section 9, the
     Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
     Agreement in connection with any Proceeding or claim connected with a
     Proceeding, including a cross-claim or counter-claim (a "Claim"), initiated
     by the Indemnitee against the Corporation or any director, officer or key
     employee of the Corporation, unless the Corporation has joined in or
     consented to the initiation of such Proceeding or Claim.

          d.   Limitations on Indemnification.  No indemnification shall be made
               ------------------------------                                   
     with respect to any claim, issue or matter if the Indemnitee was finally
     adjudged to be liable to the Corporation by a court of competent
     jurisdiction due to his or her gross negligence or willful misconduct
     unless and to the extent that a Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in
     which the action was heard determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to
     indemnification for such amounts as the court deems proper.  Further, no
     indemnification shall be made for the accounting of profits made from the
     purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation within
     the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of
     any state statutory or common law.  In addition to, and not as a limitation
     of,

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT                                                 Page 4
- -------------------------

 
     the foregoing, the rights of indemnification of Indemnitee provided under
     this Agreement shall include those rights set forth in Sections 4, 8, 9 and
     13 below.

          e.   Contractual Right.  The right to indemnification provided in the
               -----------------                                               
     Bylaws shall be presumed to have been relied upon by the Indemnitee in
     serving or continuing to serve the Corporation and shall be enforceable as
     a contract right.

          f.   Payment.  The Indemnitee shall be paid promptly by the
               -------                                                          
     Corporation all amounts necessary to effectuate the foregoing indemnity.

     4.   Advance of Expenses.  All reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf
          -------------------                                                   
of the Indemnitee shall be advanced from time to time by the Corporation to him
within thirty (30) days after the Corporation's receipt of a written request for
an advance of Expenses, whether prior to or after final disposition of a
Proceeding (except to the extent that there has been a Final Adverse
Determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
Expenses), including without limitation any Proceeding brought by or in the
right of the Corporation.  The written request for an advancement of any and all
Expenses under this paragraph shall contain reasonable detail of the Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee.  If required by law at the time of such advance, the
Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately
determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

     5.   Limitations.  The foregoing indemnity and advancement of Expenses
          -----------                                                      
shall apply only to the extent that the Indemnitee has not been indemnified and
reimbursed pursuant to such insurance as the Corporation may maintain for the
Indemnitee's benefit, or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
availability of such other indemnification and reimbursement, the Indemnitee may
claim indemnification and advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement by
assigning to the Corporation, at its request, the Indemnitee's claims under such
insurance to the extent the Indemnitee has been paid by the Corporation.

     6.   Insurance and Funding.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain
          ---------------------                                            
insurance to protect itself or the Indemnitee against any Expenses and
Liabilities in connection with any Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable laws.  The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant an interest or
use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification or
advancement of Expenses as provided in this Agreement.

     7.   Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
          ------------------------------------------------------------- 

          a.   Whenever the Indemnitee believes that he or she is entitled to
     indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit a
     written request for indemnification to the Corporation.  Any request for
     indemnification shall include sufficient documentation or information
     reasonably available to Indemnitee to support his claim for
     indemnification. The Indemnitee shall submit the claim for indemnification
     within a reasonable time, not to exceed five (5) years after any judgment,
     order, settlement, dismissal, arbitration award, conviction, acceptance of
     a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, final termination or other
     disposition or partial disposition of any Proceeding, whichever is the
     later date for

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT                                                 Page 5
- -------------------------

 
     which the Indemnitee requests indemnification.  The President or the
     Secretary or other appropriate officer shall, promptly upon receipt of the
     Indemnitee's request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in
     writing that Indemnitee has made such request.  Determination of
     Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than
     sixty (60) days after the Corporation's receipt of his or her written
     request for such indemnification; if no determination has been made in such
     60-day period, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the
     request.

          b.   The Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the Reviewing Party to
     hearing the Indemnitee's request for indemnification, which selection shall
     be included in the written request for indemnification required in Section
     7.a.  The Reviewing Party shall be any one of the following:

               (1)  The stockholders of the Corporation;

               (2)  A quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of
          Disinterested Directors;

               (3)  Independent Legal Counsel, who shall make the determination
          in a written opinion; or

               (4)  A panel of three arbitrators, one selected by the
          Corporation, another by the Indemnitee and the third by the first two
          arbitrators selected.  If for any reason three arbitrators are not
          selected within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the first
          arbitrator, then selection of additional arbitrators shall be made by
          the American Arbitration Association.  If any arbitrator resigns or is
          unable to serve in such capacity for any reason, the American
          Arbitration Association shall select such arbitrator's replacement.
          The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial
          arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association now in
          effect.

          If the Indemnitee fails to designate a Reviewing Party, his or her
     claim shall be determined by an appropriate court of the State of Delaware.

          c.   Upon making a request for indemnification, the Indemnitee shall
     be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the
     Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in
     reaching any contrary determination. The termination of any Proceeding by
     judgment, order, settlement, arbitration award or conviction, or upon a
     plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not affect this presumption
     or, except as provided in Section 3 or 5 hereof, establish a presumption
     with regard to any factual matter relevant to determining the Indemnitee's
     rights to indemnification hereunder.

     8.   Fees and Expenses of Independent Legal Counsel.  The Corporation
          ----------------------------------------------                  
agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel or a
panel of three arbitrators should such Independent Legal Counsel or such panel
of arbitrators be retained to make a determination of the Indemnitee's
entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, and to
fully indemnify such Independent Legal Counsel or arbitrators against any and
all expenses and

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT                                                 Page 6
- -------------------------

 
losses incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
their engagement pursuant hereto.

     9.   Remedies of the Indemnitee.
          -------------------------- 

          a.   In the event that (i) a determination pursuant to Section 7
     hereof is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification; (ii)
     advances of Expenses are not made pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) payment
     has not been timely made following a determination of entitled to
     indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; or (iv) the Indemnitee
     otherwise seeks enforcement of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled
     to a final adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of his
     rights. The Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee's right to seek any
     such adjudication. In any such proceeding the Indemnitee shall be presumed
     to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Corporation
     shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption.

          b.   In the event that a determination that the Indemnitee is not
     entitled to indemnification, in whole or in part, has been made pursuant to
     Section 7 hereof, the decision in the judicial proceeding provided in
     Section 9.a. shall be made de novo and the Indemnitee shall not be
     prejudiced by reason of a determination that he is not entitled to
     indemnification.

          c.   If a determination that the Indemnitee is entitled to
     indemnification has been made pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise
     pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall be bound by
     such determination in the absence of (i) a misrepresentation of a material
     fact by the Indemnitee or (ii) a specific finding (which has become final)
     by a court of competent jurisdiction that all or any part of such
     indemnification is expressly prohibited by Delaware law.

          d.   In any court proceeding pursuant to this Section 9, the
     Corporation shall be precluded from asserting that the procedures and
     presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable.  The
     Corporation shall stipulate in any such court that the Corporation is bound
     by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from making any
     assertion to the contrary.

          e.   Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with his
     request for indemnification under this Agreement, seeking enforcement of
     this Agreement or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement shall be
     borne by the Corporation.

     10.  Modification, Waiver, Termination and Cancellation.  No supplement,
          --------------------------------------------------                 
modification, termination, cancellation or amendment of this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a
waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such
waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

     11.  Notice by the Indemnitee and Defense of Claim.  The Indemnitee shall
          ---------------------------------------------                       
promptly notify the Corporation in writing upon being served with any summons,
citation, subpoena,

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT                                                 Page 7
- -------------------------

 
complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any matter,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, but the omission so to
notify the Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to Indemnitee if such omission does not prejudice the Corporation's rights.  If
such omission does prejudice the Corporation's rights, the Corporation will be
relieved from liability only to the extent of such prejudice; nor will such
omission relieve the Corporation from any liability which it may have to
Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement.  With respect to any Proceeding
as to which the Indemnitee notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

          a.   The Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its
     own expense; and

          b.   The Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party
     similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
     counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that
     the Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any
     Proceeding if there has been a Change of Control or if the Indemnitee shall
     have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between
     the Corporation and the Indemnitee with respect to such Proceeding.  After
     notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the
     defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to the Indemnitee under
     this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in
     connection with the defense thereof, other (i) than reasonable costs of (A)
     investigation, (B) travel, meals or accommodation, (C) copying and
     transmitting documents, or (D) other activities, in each case if undertaken
     at the request of the Corporation to further the defense, or to comply with
     any lawful order of a court, relating to such Proceeding, or (ii) as
     otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his
     or her own counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and expenses of such
     counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the
     defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless:

               (1)  The employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been
          authorized by the Corporation; or

               (2)  The Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that counsel
          engaged by the Corporation may not adequately represent the
          Indemnitee; or

               (3)  The Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to
          assume the defense in such Proceeding or shall not in fact have
          assumed such defense and be acting in connection therewith with
          reasonable diligence;

     in each of which cases the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
     the expense of the Corporation.

          c.   The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner
     which would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the
     Indemnitee's written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitee will
     not unreasonably withhold his or her consent to any proposed settlement.

     12.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications
          -------

          --------------                                                      
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may now or in the
future be entitled under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any agreements, vote of stockholders,
resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise.

     14.  Binding Effect, Duration and Scope of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
          -----------------------------------------------                       
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation), spouses, heirs
and personal and legal representatives.  This Agreement shall continue in effect
during the Indemnification Period, regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to
serve as a director or officer.

     15.  Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement (or
          ------------                                                       
any portion thereof) 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 shall not in any way be affected or impaired
     thereby; and

          b.   To the fullest extent legally possible, the provisions of this
     Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of any
     provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

     16.  Governing Law and Interpretation of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
          ---------------------------------------------                       
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered
into and to be performed entirely within Delaware. If the laws of the State of
Delaware are hereafter amended to permit the Corporation to provide

broader indemnification rights than said laws permitted the Corporation to
provide prior to such amendment, the rights of indemnification and advancement
of expenses conferred by this Agreement shall automatically be broadened to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

     17.  Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Corporation and the Indemnitee each
          -----------------------
