(f) Issuance of Shares. If, on or prior to December 31, 1995, the
Company has reincorporated in a jurisdiction which permits the issuance of
stock for promissory notes, then within 15 business days of said
reincorporation the Company will issue to Employee 1,500,000 shares (the
"Shares") of its common stock at a price of $0.30 per share in exchange for the
promissory note (the "Note") of the Employee secured by a pledge of the Shares
in the principal amount of $450,000 (the "Principal Amount") in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement. The number of shares and
price per share will be adjusted to reflect any Capital Transaction occurring

-2-

adjustments (including, without limitation, through merger or consolidation).
The Employee will have the right to vote all Shares issued to him.
The Note will not bear interest except as set forth below. The principal
amount of the Note will be due and payable 20 years after the date of the Note;
provided, however, that if the Employee sells all or a portion of the Shares
then that portion of the Note which relates to the Shares so sold shall become
immediately due and payable.
If the Employee's employment by the Company terminates for any reason and
the Company elects not to exercise its repurchase option as described below,
then any remaining principal amount of the Note will commence to bear interest
at the Applicable Federal Rate.
If the Employee's employment should terminate prior to the expiration of
the Term for any reason, Company will have the right, but not the obligation,
to repurchase, and upon exercise of such right by the Company, Xxxxxx agrees to
sell, at a price of $0.30 per share, payable in cash or by cancellation of the
appropriate portion of the Note at the option of Company:
80% of the Shares, if termination occurs on or prior to April 30, 1996;
60% of the Shares, if termination occurs after April 30, 1996 but on or
prior to April 30, 1997;
40% of the Shares, if termination occurs after April 30, 1997 but on or
prior to April 30, 1998; and
20% of the Shares, if termination occurs after April 30, 1998 but on or
prior to April 30, 1999.
Xxxxxx agrees not to transfer, assign or pledge voluntarily that portion
of the Shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company as set forth above;
any such attempted transfer, assignment or pledge shall be void.
In the event of any involuntary transfer of shares subject to repurchase
by the Company, by reason of operation of law or any other reason, Xxxxxx
hereby agrees on behalf of himself and his successors and assigns to sell to
the Company the portion of the Shares specified above at the specified price.
In order to exercise such repurchase option, Company must give written
notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to the Employee within 15 business days
following termination of the Employee's employment.
The repurchase price per Share shall be adjusted to reflect any Capital
Transaction occurring after the date oil this Agreement and prior to the date
of the Repurchase Notice.

On each occasion, if any, following the commencement date of this
Agreement that the Company contemplates a public offering of shares of its
Common Stock to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), the Company shall notify the Employee in writing of its
intention to do so at least 45 days prior to the filing of a registration
statement in respect of the offering. The Employee must give written notice to
the Company, within 30 days of receipt of such notice from the Company, of his
desire to have any of the Shares included in such registration statement and
may, subject to the provisions of this Section, have the Shares included in
such registration statement. The Company shall file any required amendments of
or supplements to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section and
otherwise use its reasonable efforts to insure that such registration statement
remains in effect under the Securities Act until the earlier of the sale of all
of the Shares included in the registration statement or the expiration of 270
days from the effective date thereof. The Company shall bear all expenses in
connection with the registration and sale of any of the Shares pursuant to this
Section, but the Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear any
portion of the fees or disbursements of any special counsel which the Employee
may retain in connection with the registration of the Shares, or any portion of
the underwriter's commission, discounts and expenses attributable to the Shares
being offered and sold by the Employee, or any taxes payable upon sale of the
Shares. The Company shall have the right to designate the managing underwriter
in respect of a public offering pursuant to this Section.
In connection with any offering under this Section involving an
underwriting, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Shares in
such underwriting unless the Employee accepts the terms of the underwriting as
agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then
the Shares shall be included therein only in such quantity as will not, in the
opinion of the managing underwriter, jeopardize the success of the offering by
the Company. If in the opinion of the managing underwriter the registration of
all, or part of, the Shares which the Employee has requested to be included
would materially and adversely affect such public offering, then the Company
shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of Shares, if
any, which the managing underwriter believes may be sold without causing such
adverse effect
All certificates representing Shares acquired hereunder by the Employee
(unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act")) shall bear the
following legend:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
securities regulatory authority of any state, and may not be
sold, transferred, exchanged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise
disposed of except in compliance with all applicable securities
laws."
The Employee represents and warrants that: (a) the Employee understands
that (i) the offer and sale of Shares in accordance with this Agreement have
not been registered under the Act, and it is the intention of the parties
hereto that the offer and sale of the securities be exempt from registration
under the Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and
Exchange Commission; and (ii) the
-4-

Shares being acquired hereunder cannot be sold, transferred, assigned,
exchanged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of unless they are
registered under the Act or an exemption from registration is available; (b) the
Employee is acquiring the Shares being acquired hereunder for investment for the
Employee's own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (c) the
Employee has, or the Employee together with his advisers, if any, have such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Employee is,
or the Employee together with the Employee's advisers, if any, are, and will be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks relating to the Employee's purchase
of Shares under this Agreement; (d) the Employee has been given the opportunity
to obtain information and documents relating to the Company and to ask questions
of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the
Company and the Employee's investment in the Shares; (e) the Employee's decision
to invest in the Company has been based upon independent investigations made by
the Employee and his advisers, if any; (f) the Employee is able to bear the
economic risk of a total loss of the Employee's investment in the Company; and
(g) the Employee has adequate means of providing for the Employee's current
needs and foreseeable personal contingencies and has no need for the Employee's
investment in the Shares to be liquid.
If the Company has not reincorporated in a jurisdiction which permits
the issuance of stock for promissory notes on or prior to December 31, 1995,
and if the 1995 Executive Stock Option Plan shall have been adopted in
accordance with applicable federal and state law and regulation by December 3
1, 1995, then in lieu of issuing the shares to Employee as aforesaid, the
Company shall, within 15 business days after the adoption of the 1995 Executive
Stock Option Plan, grant to Employee stock options with respect to 1.5 million
shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value, at an option exercise
price equal to the fair market value at the time of such grant, which options
shall vest immediately and shall expire if unexercised at midnight on the date
which is ten years after the date of issue. The number of shares with respect
to which options shall be granted, or the option exercise price, or both shall
be adjusted as necessary to reflect any Capital Transaction occurring after the
date of this Agreement but prior to the grant of the stock options.
If the Company has not reincorporated and the 1995 Executive Stock
Option Plan has not been approved by December 31, 1995, then the Company and
the Employee agree to negotiate in good faith some other form of compensation
of equivalent value to be delivered by the Company to Employee.
(g) Stock Options Subject to adoption of the 1995 Executive Stock
Option Plan in conformity with applicable federal and state law and
regulations, Company will, within 15 business days after the adoption of the
1995 Executive Stock Option Plan, grant to Employee stock options with respect
to 290,000 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value, at an option
exercise price of $0.30 per share (or such higher exercise price as may be
required under the 1995 Executive Stock Option Plan), for a term ending at
midnight on the date which is ten years after the date of issuance. The number
of shares with respect to which options are granted, or the option exercise
price, or both shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect any Capital
Transaction occurring after the date of this Agreement but prior to the grant
of the stock options. Stock options with respect to 58,000 shares shall vest
immediately and the balance shall vest in four equal annual increments on the
first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of the original stock
option grant under this Agreement; provided
