EXHIBIT A

            a.    To the fullest  extent  permitted by law, the Company  will,
and hereby  does,  indemnify,  hold  harmless and defend the  Consultant,  the
directors,  officers,  partners,  employees,  agents,  representatives of, and
each Person,  if any, who  controls the  Consultant  within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"),  against any losses,
                                    ------------------
claims, damages,  liabilities,  judgments,  fines, penalties,  charges, costs,
reasonable  attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses,  joint or
several  (collectively,  "Claims")  incurred in  investigating,  preparing  or
                          ------
defending any action,  claim,  suit,  inquiry,  proceeding,  investigation  or
appeal  taken  from the  foregoing  by or before  any  court or  governmental,
administrative  or other regulatory  agency,  body or the SEC, whether pending
or  threatened,  whether  or not an  indemnified  party  is or may be a  party
thereto  ("Indemnified  Damages"),  to which  any of them may  become  subject
           --------------------
insofar  as such  Claims (or  actions or  proceedings,  whether  commenced  or
threatened,  in  respect  thereof)  arise  out of or are based  upon:  (i) any
untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement  of a  material  fact in this
Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection  therewith,  except that
this  clause  shall not apply  with  respect to any  losses  that are  finally
judicially  determined to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such indemnified party.
 The Company  shall  reimburse  the  Consultants  and any  controlling  person
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable,  for any legal
fees  or  disbursements  or  other  reasonable  expenses  incurred  by them in
connection  with  investigating  or  defending  any such Claim.  However,  the
indemnity  agreement  contained in this  Section with respect to  contribution
contained  in herein  shall not apply to  amounts  paid in  settlement  of any
Claim if such  settlement  is effected  without the prior  written  consent of
the  Consultants, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

            b.    In  connection  this  Agreement,  the  Consultants  agree to
severally and not jointly  indemnify,  hold  harmless and defend,  to the same
extent and in the same manner as is set forth in this  Section,  the  Company,
each of its directors,  each of its officers who signs this Agreement and each
Person,  if any, who  controls the Company  within the meaning of the 1933 Act
or  the  1934  Act  (each  an  "Indemnified  Party"),  against  any  Claim  or
                                ------------------
Indemnified  Damages to which any of them may become  subject,  under the 1933
Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise,  insofar as such Claim or Indemnified  Damages
arise out of or is based upon any Violation,  in each case to the extent,  and
only to the  extent,  that  such  Violation  occurs  in  reliance  upon and in
conformity  with  written   information   furnished  to  the  Company  by  the
Consultants expressly for use in connection with this Agreement;  and, subject
to  Section,  the  Consultants  will  reimburse  any  legal or other  expenses
reasonably  incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Claim; provided,  however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section  with respect to  contribution  contained in herein shall not apply to
amounts  paid in  settlement  of any  Claim  if such  settlement  is  effected
without the prior  written  consent of the  Consultants,  which  consent shall
not be  unreasonably  withheld.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect  regardless  of  any  investigation  made  by  or  on  behalf  of  such
Indemnified Party.
            c.    Promptly   after  receipt  by  an   Indemnified   Person  or
Indemnified  Party  under this  Section of notice of the  commencement  of any
action  or  proceeding  (including  any  governmental  action  or  proceeding)
involving a Claim,  such Indemnified  Person or Indemnified  Party shall, if a
Claim in respect  thereof is to be made against any  indemnifying  party under
this  Section,  deliver  to the  indemnifying  party a  written  notice of the
commencement  thereof,  and the  indemnifying  party  shall  have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,  jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed,  to assume control of the
defense  thereof  with  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Indemnified
Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided,  however,  that
an Indemnified  Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel  with the fees and  expenses of not more than one counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying  party,
if, in the reasonable  opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying  party,
the  representation  by such counsel of the Indemnified  Person or Indemnified
Party  and the  indemnifying  party  would be  inappropriate  due to actual or
potential  differing  interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party andand the  indemnifying  party.  The  Indemnified  Party or Indemnified
Person shall  cooperate fully with the  indemnifying  party in connection with
any  negotiation  or defense of any such  action or claim by the  indemnifying
party and shall furnish to the indemnifying  party all information  reasonably
available to the  Indemnified  Party or  Indemnified  Person which  relates to
such  action or claim.  The  indemnifying  party  shall  keep the  Indemnified
Party or  Indemnified  Person fully  apprised at all times as to the status of
the  defense  or  any  settlement   negotiations  with  respect  thereto.   No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action,  claim or
proceeding  effected  without its prior written  consent,  provided,  however,
that  the  indemnifying  party  shall  not  unreasonably  withhold,  delay  or
condition  its  consent.  No  indemnifying  party  shall,  without  the  prior
written consent of the  Indemnified  Party or Indemnified  Person,  consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other  compromise  which
does not include as an  unconditional  term thereof the giving by the claimant
or  plaintiff to such  Indemnified  Party or  Indemnified  Person of a release
from  all  liability  in  respect  to  such  claim  or  litigation.  Following
indemnification  as provided for hereunder,  the  indemnifying  party shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified  Party or Indemnified  Person with
respect to all third  parties,  firms or  corporations  relating to the matter
for which  indemnification  has been made.  The  failure  to  deliver  written
notice to the indemnifying  party within a reasonable time of the commencement
of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying  party of any liability
to the  Indemnified  Person or Indemnified  Party under this Section 6, except
to the extent  that the  indemnifying  party is  prejudiced  in its ability to
defend such action.

            d.    The  indemnification  required by this Section shall be made
by  periodic  payments  of  the  amount  thereof  during  the  course  of  the
investigation  or  defense,  as and when  bills are  received  or  Indemnified
Damages are incurred.

            e.    The  indemnity  agreements  contained  herein  shall  be  in
      addition to
(i) any  cause  of  action  or  similar  right  of the  Indemnified  Party  or
Indemnified  Person  against the  indemnifying  party or others,  and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
