                                BROADVISION, INC.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
BroadVision,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.  All
significant  intercompany  balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

Business of the Company

      The  Company   provides  an  integrated   software   application   system,
BroadVision One-To-One(TM), that enables the creation of  applications  allowing
non-technical  business  managers  to  tailor  Internet  marketing  and  selling
services to the needs and interests of individual  World Wide Web site visitors,
personalizing each visit on a real-time basis.

Interim Financial Information

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and the  instructions  for Form 10-Q and  Article  10 of
Regulation S-X. In the Company's opinion,  the financial  statements include all
adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company
considers  necessary to fairly state the  Company's  financial  position and the
results of operations and cash flows. The balance sheet at December 31, 1996 has
been derived  from the audited  financial  statements  at that date but does not
include all of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  The  accompanying
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Prospectus, Forms 10-K and 10-Q, and
other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission  ("SEC").  The
results of the Company's  operations for any interim period are not  necessarily
indicative  of the results of the  Company's  operations  for any other  interim
period or for a full fiscal year.

Net Loss Per Share

         The net loss per share is  computed  using net loss  and,  for  periods
prior to the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), is based on the weighted
average  number of shares of common  stock  outstanding,  convertible  preferred
stock, on an  "as-if-converted"  basis, using the exchange rate in effect at the
initial public  offering date and dilutive common  equivalent  shares from stock
options and warrants  outstanding using the treasury stock method. In accordance
with  certain SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletins,  such  computations  include all
common and  common  equivalent  shares  issued  within 12 months of the  initial
filing  date as if they were  outstanding  for all periods  presented  using the
treasury stock method and the anticipated  initial public  offering  price.  For
periods  subsequent  to the IPO,  loss per  share is based on  weighted  average
shares outstanding, excluding the effects of dilutive securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board recently issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share."  SFAS No. 128
requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and, for companies
with complex  capital  structures or potentially  dilutive  securities,  such as
convertible debt, options and  warrants,  diluted EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective
for annual and interim  periods  ending after  December  15,  1997.  The Company
expects that basic EPS and diluted EPS will not differ  materially from earnings
per share as presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         EXCEPT FOR  HISTORICAL  INFORMATION  CONTAINED  HEREIN,  THE  FOLLOWING
DISCUSSION   CONTAINS   FORWARD-LOOKING   STATEMENTS  WHICH  INVOLVE  RISKS  AND
UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S  ACTUAL  RESULTS COULD DIFFER  SIGNIFICANTLY  FROM
THOSE DISCUSSED HERE. FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES
INCLUDE,  BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO,  THOSE  DISCUSSED IN THIS FORM 10-Q AND IN THE
COMPANY'S  PROSPECTUS, FORMS  10-K AND 10-Q, AND OTHER  DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.  ANY SUCH  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS SPEAK
ONLY AS OF THE DATE SUCH STATEMENTS ARE MADE.

OVERVIEW

     BroadVision provides industrial-strength software application solutions for
personalized, one-to-one business systems on the global Internet, Intranets, and
Extranets. These  solutions   enable  rapid  and   cost-effective   prototyping,
development,  and on-going operation of electronic  commerce,  customer service,
interactive publishing and knowledge management  applications over the Internet.
The Company's  products and services are targeted at businesses  developing  Web
site applications for consumers and business customers as well as employees. The
Company's products provide the open,  scalable,  database  architecture,  expert
business  logic,   dynamic   control,   secure   transaction   processing,   and
matching-based  personalization  capabilities  essential for profitable Internet
business.  The Company  specializes  in  end-to-end  solutions for the financial
services, retail, travel, media and telecommunications  industries. In September
1996, the Company  launched a personalized Web service called "The Angle," which
helps consumers more effectively utilize the Web. Using a combination of editors
and BroadVision One-to-One technology,  The Angle matches daily information with
individuals  including  Web site reviews and  recommendations,  up-to-the-minute
news and special features.

     The Company's  revenues are derived from software license fees and fees for
its services.  The Company generally  recognizes  license fees when the software
has been delivered,  the customer  acknowledges an  unconditional  obligation to
pay,  and the Company has no  significant  obligations  remaining.  Professional
services   revenues   generally  are   recognized  as  services  are  performed.
Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the support period,
which is typically one year.

         Since its  inception,  the Company has  incurred  substantial  costs to
research, develop, and enhance its technology and products, to recruit and train
a marketing and sales group, and to establish an administrative organization. As
a result,  the Company has  incurred  net losses in each  fiscal  quarter  since
inception  and,  as of March  31,  1997,  had an  accumulated  deficit  of $18.8
million.  The Company  anticipates that its operating  expenses will increase in
the  foreseeable  future as it  continues  the  development  of its  technology,
increases  its sales and  marketing  activities,  and  creates  and  expands its
distribution  channels.  Accordingly,  the Company  expects to incur  additional
losses for the foreseeable future. In addition,  the Company's limited operating
history makes the  prediction of future  results of  operations  difficult  and,
accordingly,  there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain
revenue growth or profitability.

         To  date,  only  a  limited  number  of  companies  have  licensed  the
BroadVision One-To-One application system.  Accordingly,  the Company has only a
limited operating  history,  and its prospects must be evaluated in light of the
risks and uncertainties  frequently  encountered by a company in its early stage
of  development.  Some of these  risks and  uncertainties  relate to the new and
rapidly  evolving  nature of the  markets in which the  Company  operates.  Such
market 

                                       8

risks include,  among other things,  the early stage of market  development  for
online  commerce,  the dependence of online commerce upon the development of the
Internet, the uncertainty of widespread adoption of online commerce and the risk
of government  regulation of the Internet.  Other risks and uncertainties facing
the Company relate to the Company's ability to, among other things, successfully
implement its marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments,  continue
to develop and upgrade its  products  and  technologies  more  rapidly  than its
competitors,  and  commercialize its products and services  incorporating  these
enhanced  technologies.  There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed
in addressing  any or all of these risks.  A more complete  description of these
and other  risks  relating  to the  Company's  business  is set forth  under the
caption  "Risk  Factors"  in the  Prospectus,  Form  10-K and  10-Q,  and  other
documents filed with the SEC.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

         Total revenues  increased to $5,291,000 in the three-month period ended
March 31, 1997 from  $1,398,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company
recognized its first license revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

         Software  product  license  revenues  increased to  $3,148,000  for the
three-month  period ended March 31, 1997 from $1,099,000 for the same quarter of
fiscal 1996. For the quarter, the software product license revenues consisted of
North American  software product license  revenues of $1,446,000,  or 46% of the
total software  product license  revenues,  and  International  software product
license  revenues of $1,702,000,  or 54% of the total software  product  license
revenues. The increases in software product license revenues for the three-month
period  ended March 31, 1997  reflect  the sale of  development  licenses of the
Company's  product,  and the  recognition  of revenues  relating  to  deployment
licenses.   Deployment   license  revenues   increased  to  $1,571,000  for  the
three-month  period  ended March 31, 1997 from  $191,000 for the same quarter of
fiscal 1996. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had deployed ten customer sites.

         Services  revenues  increased to $2,143,000 for the three-month  period
ended March 31, 1997 from $299,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 1996.  For the
quarter,  North  American  services  revenues  were  $928,000,  or 43% of  total
services revenues, and International  services revenues were $1,215,000,  or 57%
of total services  revenues.  Services revenues increased during the period from
the  respective  prior year period due to the  increasing  number of licenses of
BroadVision One-to-One with a service or maintenance component.

Operating Expenses

         The Company's  operating  expenses have increased  substantially  since
inception.  The Company  believes that continued  expansion of its operations is
essential  to  achieving  its  objectives  and,  therefore,  intends to increase
expenditures in all operating areas.

         Cost of Software Licenses. Cost of software licenses includes the costs
of  royalties  payable to third  parties for  software  that is embedded  in, or
bundled  together  and sold with,  the  Company's  products,  product  media and
duplication,  and  manuals.  The amount of such  royalties  payable is generally
related  to the volume of sales made by the  Company to its  customers.  Cost of
software licenses  increased to $214,000 for the three-month  period ended March
31, 1997 from  $96,000  for the same  quarter of fiscal  1996.  Cost of software
licenses  decreased to 7% of related license revenues in the three-month  period
ended March 31, 1997 from 9% for the same quarter of fiscal 1996.  This decrease
primarily is derived from increased  costs spread over the increase in volume of
license revenues.


                                       9

<PAGE>

         Cost   of   Services.   Cost  of   services   consists   primarily   of
employee-related  costs  and  fees  for  third-party   consultants  incurred  in
providing  consulting,  post-contract  support,  and training services.  Cost of
services increased to $1,143,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997
from  $165,000  for the same  quarter of fiscal  1996.  The  increase in cost of
services was due to the increasing number of licenses of BroadVision  One-to-One
with a support or maintenance component and the increasing fixed costs resulting
from the Company's expansion of its services  organization.  The Company expects
that services costs will continue to increase in absolute  dollar amounts as the
Company continues to expand its services organization.

         Research and  Development.  Research and development  expenses  consist
primarily of salaries, other employee-related costs, and consulting fees related
to the development of the Company's products.  Research and development expenses
increased by 83%, to $1,680,000, for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997
from $917,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 1996. These increases in the dollar
amount of research and development expenses are primarily  attributable to costs
of additional  personnel in the Company's  research and development  operations.
The  Company  continues  to  direct  product  development   expenditures  toward
developing new products and enhancing existing products. The Company anticipates
that  research and  development  expenses  will continue to increase in absolute
dollars for the  remainder  of 1997.  All  expenditures  related to research and
development  have been expensed as incurred and,  therefore,  no amortization of
capitalized software development costs is included.

         Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries  and other  employee-related  costs,  commissions  and other  incentive
compensation,  travel and entertainment, and expenditures for marketing programs
such as  collateral  materials,  trade  shows,  public  relations  and  creative
services.   Sales  and  marketing  expenses  increased  to  $4,204,000  for  the
three-month  period ended March 31, 1997 from $1,585,000 for the same quarter of
fiscal 1996. These increases in sales and marketing  expenses reflect  primarily
the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel, developing and expanding
its sales  distribution  channels,  and expanding  promotional  activities.  The
Company expects to continue to expand its direct sales and marketing efforts and
expects sales and marketing  expenses to continue to increase  significantly  in
absolute dollars.

         General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries,  other employee-related  costs, and fees for professional
services.  General and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $746,000 for the
three-month  period  ended March 31, 1997 from  $340,000 for the same quarter of
fiscal 1996.  These increases for general and  administrative  expenses  reflect
primarily  the hiring of additional  administrative  and  management  personnel,
increases in the provision for doubtful accounts,  increased  professional fees,
and the  addition  of other  infrastructure  to  support  the  expansion  of the
Company's  operations.  The Company  expects to  continue to add  administrative
staff to support broadened  operations,  expand North American and international
office  facilities,  and incur  costs  related  to being a public  company  and,
therefore, expects general and administrative expenses to increase significantly
in absolute dollars.

         Prior to its IPO, the Company  recorded  deferred  compensation for the
difference between the exercise price and the deemed fair value of the Company's
Common Stock with respect to 1,794,000  shares issuable upon exercise of options
granted. These amounts were initially recorded as deferred compensation and will
be  amortized  to  cost of  services,  research  and  development,  selling  and
marketing,  and general and  administrative  expense over the vesting periods of
the  options,   generally  60  months.   Deferred   compensation   amortized  to
compensation  expense was $110,000  for each of the  three-month  periods  ended
March 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The amortization of deferred compensation
will have an adverse  effect on the  Company's  reported  results of  operations
through the year 2003, but such effect will be significantly  reduced  beginning
in the third quarter of 2001.

                                       10

FACTORS AFFECTING QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS

     The Company  expects to experience  significant  fluctuations  in quarterly
operating results that may be caused by many factors including,  but not limited
to, those discussed  under the caption "Risk Factors" in the  Prospectus,  Forms
10-K and 10-Q, and other filed documents with the SEC.

     The Company  expects that a  significant  portion of its  revenues  will be
derived from a limited number of orders, and the timing of receipt,  fulfillment
and  deployment of such orders is likely to cause material  fluctuations  in the
Company's  operating  results,  particularly on a quarterly  basis, as with many
software companies.  Specifically, the Company is taking steps to accelerate the
pace of deployment  which could result in  acceleration  of revenue  recognition
and, consequently,  the potential for greater fluctuation in quarterly operating
results.  The Company  anticipates  that it will make the major  portion of each
quarter's deliveries near the end of each quarter and, as a result, short delays
in delivery of products at the end of a quarter could adversely affect operating
results for that quarter. Due to these factors, quarterly revenues and operating
results   are   difficult   to   forecast,   and  the  Company   believes   that
period-to-period  comparisons of its operating  results will not  necessarily be
meaningful   and  should  not  be  relied  upon  as  any  indication  of  future
performance.

     The  Company   anticipates  that  its  operating   expenses  will  increase
substantially  in the foreseeable  future as it continues the development of its
technology,  increases  its sales and  marketing  activities,  and  creates  and
expands its  distribution  channels.  Accordingly,  the Company expects to incur
additional losses for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company's limited
operating history makes the prediction of future results of operations difficult
and,  accordingly,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company will achieve or
sustain revenue growth or profitability. The Company's limited operating history
also  requires  that its  prospects  be  evaluated  in light  of the  risks  and
uncertainties  frequently  encountered  by a  company  in  its  early  stage  of
development. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to the new and rapidly
evolving nature of the markets in which the Company operates.  Such market risks
include,  among other things,  the early stage of market  development for online
commerce,  the  dependence  of  online  commerce  upon  the  development  of the
Internet,  the uncertainty of widespread  adoption of online  commerce,  and the
risk of government  regulation of the  Internet.  Other risks and  uncertainties
facing the  Company  relate to the  Company's  ability to,  among other  things,
successfully   implement  its  marketing   strategy,   respond  to   competitive
developments, continue to develop and upgrade its products and technologies more
rapidly  than its  competitors,  and  commercialize  its  products  and services
incorporating  these enhanced  technologies.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will succeed in  addressing  any or all of these risks.  A more complete
description of these and other risks  relating to the Company's  business is set
forth under the caption "Risk  Factors" in the  Prospectus  and Form 10-K filing
with the SEC. It is also likely that the Company's  future  quarterly  operating
results from time to time will not meet the  expectations  of market analysts or
investors, which may have an adverse effect on the price of the Company's Common
Stock.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Prior to the IPO, the Company  financed its  operations  primarily  through
private  placements of Common and Preferred  Stock,  which provided net proceeds
totaling  $15.5  million  through  May 1996.  The IPO  yielded  net  proceeds of
approximately  $20.7 million.  At March 31, 1997, the Company had  approximately
$15.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The Company
currently has no significant  capital  commitments  other than commitments under
equipment  and operating  leases  disclosed in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
The Company has no credit facilities,  and does not believe that it will require
credit facilities for at least the next 12 months.

     The  Company   anticipates  that  its  available  cash  resources  will  be
sufficient  to meet  its  presently  anticipated  working  capital  and  capital
expenditure  requirements  for at least the next 12 months.  This  estimate is a
forward-looking  statement  that involves  risks and  uncertainties,  and actual
results may vary as a result of a number of factors,  including  those discussed
under "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus, 

                                       11

<PAGE>

Forms 10-K and 10-Q, and other  documents filed with the SEC and those discussed
under the caption  "Factors  Affecting  Operating  Results"  above and elsewhere
herein.  The Company may need to raise additional funds in order to support more
rapid  expansion,  develop  new or  enhanced  services,  respond to  competitive
pressures,  acquire  complementary  businesses  or  technologies,  or respond to
unanticipated  requirements.  The  Company  may seek to raise  additional  funds
through private or public sales of securities, strategic relationships,  bank or
lease  financings,  or  otherwise.  If additional  funds are raised  through the
issuance of equity securities,  the percentage  ownership of the stockholders of
the Company will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or
such equity  securities may have rights,  preferences,  or privileges  senior to
those of the holders of the Company's  Common  Stock.  There can be no assurance
that additional  financing will be available on acceptable  terms, if at all. If
adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable  terms,  the
Company  may be unable to develop or enhance its  products,  take  advantage  of
future  opportunities,  or respond to  competitive  pressures  or  unanticipated
requirements,  which  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
business, financial condition, and operating results.

                               INDEMNITY AGREEMENT


         THIS  AGREEMENT is made and entered into this ______ day of __________,
1997  by  and  between   BROADVISION,   INC.,   a  Delaware   corporation   (the
"Corporation"), and __________________ ("Agent").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS,  Agent performs a valuable  service to the  Corporation in his
capacity    as    __________________________________________________    of   the
Corporation;

         WHEREAS,  the  stockholders of the Corporation have adopted bylaws (the
"Bylaws")  providing  for  the  indemnification  of  the  directors,   officers,
employees and other agents of the Corporation,  including persons serving at the
request  of the  Corporation  in such  capacities  with  other  corporations  or
enterprises,  as authorized by the Delaware General  Corporation Law, as amended
(the "Code");

         WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Code, by their non-exclusive nature, permit
contracts between the Corporation and its agents, officers,  employees and other
agents with respect to indemnification of such persons; and

         WHEREAS,   in  order  to  induce   Agent  to   continue   to  serve  as
______________________________________  of the Corporation,  the Corporation has
determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Agent;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  Agent's  continued  service as
______________________________________ after the date hereof, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

         1. Services to the  Corporation.  Agent will serve,  at the will of the
Corporation  or  under  separate  contract,  if any  such  contract  exists,  as
______________________________________  of  the  Corporation  or as a  director,
officer or other  fiduciary of an affiliate of the  Corporation  (including  any
employee  benefit  plan of the  Corporation)  faithfully  and to the best of his
ability so long as he is duly  elected  and  qualified  in  accordance  with the
provisions  of  the  Bylaws  or  other  applicable   charter  documents  of  the
Corporation or such affiliate; provided, however, that Agent may at any time and
for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual  obligation
that Agent may have assumed apart from this  Agreement) and that the Corporation
or any affiliate shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Agent
in any such position.

         2. Indemnity of Agent.  The Corporation  hereby agrees to hold harmless
and  indemnify  Agent to the  fullest  extent  authorized  or  permitted  by the
provisions  of the Bylaws

                                       1.

<PAGE>

and the Code,  as the same may be amended  from time to time  (but,  only to the
extent  that  such  amendment   permits  the   Corporation  to  provide  broader
indemnification  rights than the Bylaws or the Code permitted  prior to adoption
of such amendment).

         3.  Additional  Indemnity.  In addition to and not in limitation of the
indemnification   otherwise  provided  for  herein,  and  subject  only  to  the
exclusions set forth in Section 4 hereof,  the Corporation hereby further agrees
to hold harmless and indemnify Agent:

                  (a) against any and all expenses (including  attorneys' fees),
witness fees, damages,  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement and any
other amounts that Agent becomes  legally  obligated to pay because of any claim
or claims made against or by him in connection with any  threatened,  pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,  arbitrational,
administrative  or investigative  (including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation)  to which  Agent  is,  was or at any time  becomes  a party,  or is
threatened  to be made a party,  by reason of the fact that  Agent is, was or at
any time becomes a director, officer, employee or other agent of Corporation, or
is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the  Corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation,  partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise; and

                  (b)  otherwise  to the  fullest  extent as may be  provided to
Agent by the Corporation  under the  non-exclusivity  provisions of the Code and
Section 43 of the Bylaws.

         4.  Limitations  on  Additional  Indemnity.  No  indemnity  pursuant to
Section 3 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation:

                  (a) on account of any claim against Agent for an accounting of
profits made from the purchase or sale by Agent of securities of the Corporation
pursuant to the  provisions of Section 16(b) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local
statutory law;

                  (b)  on  account  of  Agent's   conduct  that  was   knowingly
fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;

                  (c) on account of Agent's conduct that constituted a breach of
Agent's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or resulted in any personal profit or
advantage to which Agent was not legally entitled;

                  (d) for which  payment is actually made to Agent under a valid
and  collectible  insurance  policy or under a valid and  enforceable  indemnity
clause, bylaw or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment under
such insurance, clause, bylaw or agreement;

                  (e) if  indemnification  is not lawful (and,  in this respect,
both the  Corporation  and  Agent  have been  advised  that the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission believes that  indemnification for liabilities arising under
the  federal  securities  laws is  against  public  policy  and

                                       2.

<PAGE>

is,  therefore,  unenforceable  and that  claims for  indemnification  should be
submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication); or

                  (f) in  connection  with  any  proceeding  (or  part  thereof)
initiated by Agent,  or any  proceeding by Agent against the  Corporation or its
directors,  officers, employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification
is expressly  required to be made by law, (ii) the  proceeding was authorized by
the  Board of  Directors  of the  Corporation,  (iii)  such  indemnification  is
provided  by the  Corporation,  in its sole  discretion,  pursuant to the powers
vested in the  Corporation  under the Code, or (iv) the  proceeding is initiated
pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

         5.  Continuation  of Indemnity.  All agreements and  obligations of the
Corporation  contained  herein  shall  continue  during  the  period  Agent is a
director,  officer,  employee  or other agent of the  Corporation  (or is or was
serving at the request of the  Corporation as a director,  officer,  employee or
other agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Agent
shall be subject  to any  possible  claim or  threatened,  pending or  completed
action,   suit  or   proceeding,   whether   civil,   criminal,   arbitrational,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Agent was serving in
the capacity referred to herein.

         6.  Partial  Indemnification.   Agent  shall  be  entitled  under  this
Agreement to  indemnification  by the  Corporation for a portion of the expenses
(including attorneys' fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement and any other amounts that Agent becomes legally obligated to
pay in connection with any action,  suit or proceeding  referred to in Section 3
hereof even if not entitled  hereunder to  indemnification  for the total amount
thereof,  and the  Corporation  shall indemnify Agent for the portion thereof to
which Agent is entitled.

         7.  Notification  and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30) days
after  receipt by Agent of notice of the  commencement  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding,  Agent will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Corporation  under this Agreement,  notify the  Corporation of the  commencement
thereof;  but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from
any liability  which it may have to Agent  otherwise than under this  Agreement.
With respect to any such action,  suit or proceeding as to which Agent  notifies
the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

                  (a) the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at
its own expense;

                 (b) except as otherwise  provided below,  the Corporation may,
at its option and jointly with any other  indemnifying  party similarly notified
and electing to assume such defense,  assume the defense  thereof,  with counsel
reasonably  satisfactory to Agent. After notice from the Corporation to Agent of
its election to assume the defense  thereof,  the Corporation will not be liable
to Agent  under  this  Agreement  for any legal or other  expenses  subsequently
incurred by Agent in connection  with the defense  thereof except for reasonable
costs of  investigation  or  otherwise as provided  below.  Agent shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in such

                                       3.

<PAGE>

action,  suit or 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 Agent  unless (i) the  employment  of counsel by Agent has
been authorized by the Corporation,  (ii) Agent shall have reasonably  concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest  between the  Corporation  and Agent in
the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation  shall not in
fact have  employed  counsel to assume the  defense of such  action,  in each of
which cases the fees and expenses of Agent's  separate  counsel  shall be at the
expense of the Corporation.  The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the
defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding  brought  by or on  behalf  of the
Corporation or as to which Agent shall have made the conclusion  provided for in
clause (ii) above; and

                  (c) the  Corporation  shall not be liable to  indemnify  Agent
under this  Agreement  for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without its written consent,  which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Corporation shall be permitted to settle any action except that it shall not
settle any  action or claim in any  manner  which  would  impose any  penalty or
limitation  on Agent  without  Agent's  written  consent,  which may be given or
withheld in Agent's sole discretion.

         8.  Expenses.  The  Corporation  shall  advance,  prior  to  the  final
disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses
incurred  by Agent  in  connection  with  such  proceeding  upon  receipt  of an
undertaking  by or on  behalf  of  Agent to repay  said  amounts  if it shall be
determined  ultimately  that Agent is not entitled to be  indemnified  under the
provisions of this Agreement, the Bylaws, the Code or otherwise.

         9.  Enforcement.  Any right to  indemnification  or advances granted by
this  Agreement  to Agent shall be  enforceable  by or on behalf of Agent in any
court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances
is denied,  in whole or in part,  or (ii) no  disposition  of such claim is made
within ninety (90) days of request therefor.  Agent, in such enforcement action,
if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
of prosecuting  his claim. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim
for indemnification is made under Section 3 hereof (other than an action brought
to enforce a claim for expenses pursuant to Section 8 hereof,  provided that the
required  undertaking  has been tendered to the  Corporation)  that Agent is not
entitled to  indemnification  because of the  limitations set forth in Section 4
hereof. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors
or its  stockholders) to have made a determination  prior to the commencement of
such  enforcement  action  that  indemnification  of  Agent  is  proper  in  the
circumstances,  nor an actual  determination  by the Corporation  (including its
Board of Directors or its stockholders)  that such  indemnification  is improper
shall be a  defense  to the  action or create a  presumption  that  Agent is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

         10.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment  under this  Agreement,  the
Corporation  shall be  subrogated  to the  extent of such  payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Agent, who shall execute all documents  required and shall
do all acts  that may be  necessary  to secure  such  rights  and to enable  the
Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

         11.  Non-Exclusivity  of Rights.  The rights conferred on Agent by this
Agreement  shall not be  exclusive  of any other  right  which Agent may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute,  provision of the Corporation's Certificate
of Incorporation  or Bylaws,  agreement,  vote of stockholders or directors,  or
otherwise,  both as to  action  in his  official  capacity  and as to  action in
another capacity while holding office.

                                       4.

<PAGE>

         12.      Survival of Rights.

                  (a) The  rights  conferred  on Agent by this  Agreement  shall
continue  after  Agent has ceased to be a director,  officer,  employee or other
agent of the  Corporation  or to serve at the  request of the  Corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation,  partnership,
joint venture,  trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and shall inure
to the benefit of Agent's heirs, executors and administrators.

                  (b) The  Corporation  shall  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  Corporation,  expressly to
assume and agree to perform  this  Agreement  in the same manner and to the same
extent that the  Corporation  would be required to perform if no such succession
had taken place.

         13.  Separability.  Each  of the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  is a
separate and distinct  agreement and  independent of the others,  so that if any
provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason,  such invalidity or
unenforceability  shall not affect the validity or  enforceability  of the other
provisions  hereof.  Furthermore,  if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its
entirety on any ground, then the Corporation shall nevertheless  indemnify Agent
to the fullest extent provided by the Bylaws,  the Code or any other  applicable
law.

         14.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

         15. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification,  termination
or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by
both parties hereto.

         16.  Identical  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or
more  counterparts,  each of which  shall  for all  purposes  be deemed to be an
original  but all of  which  together  shall  constitute  but  one and the  same
Agreement.  Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence
of this Agreement.

         17.  Headings.  The  headings  of the  sections of this  Agreement  are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction hereof.

         18. Notices.  All notices,  requests,  demands and other communications
hereunder  shall be in  writing  and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i)
upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such  communication  was
directed  or (ii) upon the  third  business
