WHEREAS, the directors' and officers' liability insurance obtained by the
Corporation may not provide complete protection to Officer against all risks of
undue personal liability; and
WHEREAS, Officer is serving the Corporation in part in reliance upon the
continued availability of effective protection against undue personal liability
arising out of or in connection with Officer's service to the Corporation; and
WHEREAS, to supplement the Corporation's directors' and officers' liability
insurance and to provide Officer with specific contractual assurance that the
protection provided by the Corporation's By-Laws will continue to be available
to Officer regardless of, among other things, an amendment of the By-Laws or a

whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent,
trustee, committee member or representative (an "Indemnifiable Event"), Officer
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,

settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by reason of Officer acting in any
