I.              NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT

 

Grantee's Name:

Gary G. Greenfield

 

You have been granted restricted shares of the Common Stock of the Company ("Restricted Shares"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Agreement, as follows:

 

Date of Grant:	August 22, 2002
Vesting Commencement Date:	June 1, 2002
Total Number of Restricted Shares Granted:	1,600,000

 

Vesting Schedule and Forfeiture:

 

25% of the total number of the Restricted Shares shall vest twelve months after the Vesting Commencement Date, and l/36th of the total remaining number of the Restricted Shares shall vest each month thereafter, provided that Restricted Shares actually will vest on any such date only if the Grantee is a Service Provider on such date.

 

If your service terminates for any reason, then the Restricted Shares will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result of the termination. This means that the Restricted Shares will immediately revert to the Company. No payment by the Company will be due to Grantee for Restricted Shares that are forfeited.
