NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Stock.
Pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement, the Executive is
hereby granted, effective on the Grant Date and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, 34,218 shares of Restricted Stock, said number of

$1,000,021.05.
2. Issuance of Stock.
As soon as practicable, the Company shall cause the shares of
Restricted Stock to be issued in the Executive's name. The Restricted Stock
shall be held in the custody of the Company or its designee for the Executive's
account. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to the restrictions described
herein. The Restricted Stock shall bear appropriate legends with respect to the
restrictions described herein.
3. Vesting.
(a) The interest of the Executive in the Restricted

shares) on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, as to an
additional one-third (11,406 shares) on the second anniversary of the
Effective Date, and as to the final one-third (11,406 shares) on the
third anniversary of the Effective Date, so as to be 100% vested on the
third anniversary thereof, conditioned upon the Executive's continued
employment with the Company as of each vesting date.

having given a notice of non-extension of the Term of Employment.
4. Restrictions.
(a) No portion of the Restricted Stock or rights
granted hereunder may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Executive until such portion
of the Restricted Stock becomes vested in accordance with Section 3 of
this Agreement. The period of time between the date hereof and the date
all Restricted Stock becomes vested is referred to herein as the
"Restriction Period."
(b) If the Executive's employment with the Company is
terminated for any reason which does not give rise to 100% vesting of
the Restricted Stock, as provided in Section 3 above, the balance of
the Restricted Stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement which
have not vested at the time of the Executive's termination of
employment shall be forfeited by the Executive, and ownership
transferred back to the Company.
5. Executive Shareholder Rights.
During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall have all the rights
of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock except for the right to
transfer the Restricted Stock, as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.
Accordingly, the Executive shall have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and
to receive any cash dividends paid to or made with respect to the Restricted
Stock, provided, however, that dividends paid, if any, with respect to that
Restricted Stock which has not vested at the time of the dividend payment shall
be held in the custody of the Company and shall be subject to the same
restrictions that apply to the corresponding Restricted Stock.
6. Changes in Stock.
In the event that as a result of (a) any stock dividend, stock split or
other change in the Restricted Stock, or (b) any merger or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company or Holding
Corp., and by virtue of any such change, the Executive shall in her capacity as
owner of unvested shares of Restricted Stock which have been awarded to her (the
"Prior Stock") be entitled to new or additional or different shares or
securities, such new or additional or different shares or securities shall
thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and shall be subject to
all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Stock
pursuant to this Agreement.
7. Taxes.
The Executive shall be liable for any and all taxes, including
withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of Restricted Stock
hereunder. The Executive may elect to satisfy such withholding tax obligation by
having the Company retain Restricted Stock having a fair market value equal to
the Company's minimum withholding obligation.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer
on its books any shares of Restricted Stock which shall have been sold
or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this
Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares or to accord the
right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to
whom such shares shall have been so transferred.

instruments and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to
carry out the intent of this Agreement.
<PAGE>
(c) Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon delivery
to the Executive at her address then on file with the Company.

Agreement and the grant of Restricted Stock hereunder are in full and
final satisfaction of the Company's obligations under Section 5(b) of
the Employment Agreement; (ii) the Company shall have no further
