the Date of Grant or (b) July 1, 2004; and then an additional 1/7th vested
on each subsequent anniversary of the Date of Grant thereafter until 100%
vested at ten years from the Date of Grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
vesting will be accelerated upon the Company's attaining certain
performance goals, as specified in Paragraph 3 below, or upon a Change in
Control, as specified in Paragraph 13 below. Vesting also may be
accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events, as specified in
Paragraph 5 below.
2. The effective date of this Amendment shall be July 1, 2004.
