NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth below, the

day of December 2000, and January, February and March of 2001.
3. The Company acknowledges that this Termination Agreement should not be
interpreted as in any way calling into question Yeros's honesty or methods of
doing business.
4. Yeros acknowledges that he may have confidential information regarding
the Company and its business activities, and that he will hold in confidence
and not disclose or use any such information after the termination of his
status as a consultant to the Company. In addition, Yeros agrees not to use

warrants that he has returned or destroyed all keys, passwords, voicemail or

Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Yeros from and against any and all
costs, losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and expenses incurred in
defending against any such claim) incurred by Yeros arising out of or
resulting from any proceeding or allegation in which his actions or inaction
as a director or officer of the Company are at issue, excluding, however, any
actions or inactions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on his part. To qualify
for such indemnification, Yeros must give the Company prompt written notice
of any such claim and all related settlement negotiations, and allow the
Company, at its sole expense, to conduct and control the defense of such
claim and all related settlement negotiations and Yeros shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company in such defense.

including without limitation, any claims of breach of express or implied
contract, negligence, tort, or any other claims of whatever nature, that the
Company may now have, or may have or claim to have in the future, arising
from facts now actually known by the Company or which should be known through
the exercise of reasonable diligence in the ordinary course of business (with
no investigation being conducted), and the Company hereby covenants not to
file any administrative claims or lawsuits to assert any such claims.
