shares of Stock (the "Restricted Shares").

("Unrestricted Shares") as of the date set forth below according to the
percentage set forth opposite such date:

          Date                    Cumulative Percentage Unrestricted
          ----                    ----------------------------------
     <S>                                        <C>
     October 2, 2001                             50%
     October 2, 2002                            100%
</Table>

Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement (as defined below), in
the event that Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason
(including death or disability) before all of the shares of Stock granted
hereunder cease to be Restricted Shares, Employee shall, upon the date of such
termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company, the "Termination
Date") forfeit that number of shares of Stock which constitute the Restricted
Shares. Upon such forfeiture the Company shall become the legal and beneficial
owner of the Restricted Shares being forfeited and all rights and interests
therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and
transfer to its own name the number of Restricted Shares being forfeited by
Employee.

3. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Neither Restricted Shares nor any interest therein
may ever be directly or indirectly transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or
otherwise disposed of. Prior to the closing of an initial public offering with
respect to shares of Stock ("IPO") registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), neither Unrestricted Shares nor any interest
therein my be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of.
Following the consummation of an IPO, any Unrestricted Shares shall be freely
transferable subject only to the restrictions set forth in Sections 6 and 8
hereof.

4. REPURCHASE. In the event that Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for
any or no reason (including death or disability) at any time prior to the
consummation of an IPO, any then Unrestricted Shares shall be subject to a right
(but not an obligation) of repurchase by Company. Company's right of repurchase
with respect to Unrestricted Shares shall be exercisable, during the sixty (60)
day period immediately following the Termination Date, by delivery of written
notice to Employee (which notice shall set forth a date, within thirty (30) days
of the date of the notice, on which the repurchase is to be effected). Company's
right of repurchase with respect to Unrestricted Shares shall lapse upon the
consummation of an IPO or upon expiration of the above referenced sixty (60) day
period. If Company exercises its right of repurchase with respect to
Unrestricted Shares it shall pay Employee, at closing, an amount equal to: (a)
$2.32 per share in the event that Employee ceases to be a Service Provider
pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a) of his Employment Agreement (as
defined below); or (b) par value per share in the event that Employee ceases to
be a Service Provider pursuant to Section 8(b) of his Employment Agreement. At
the closing of any repurchase, Employee shall deliver to Company stock
certificates duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by duly executed stock
powers, representing all of

the Stock being sold, free and clear of all claims, liens, or encumbrances from
any third parties together with such other documentation as Company's legal
counsel may reasonably require.

5. ESCROW. Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Shares shall be
deposited in escrow, together with stock powers duly executed in blank by
Employee, with the corporate secretary of Company to be held in accordance with
the provisions hereof. Restricted Shares shall be: (i) released to Company upon
forfeiture as described in Section 2 above; (ii) release for transfer and
assignment to Company upon Company's exercise of its right of repurchase
described in Section 4 above; or (ii) released to Employee, upon Employee's
request, to the extent the shares of Stock are no longer Restricted Shares.
