and on each monthly anniversary thereafter for the next 16
months, there shall be released from the restrictions of
Section 3(a), automatically and without any action on the part
of any party hereto, an amount of Common Stock equal to 5.566%
of the Common Stock issued to such Stockholder pursuant to the
Merger Agreement as of the Effective Time, and on the
eighteenth monthly anniversary thereafter, all Common Stock
not previously released hereunder shall be released; provided
that in the event the employment of such Shareholder with the

any previous or subsequent circumstance, event, sale, transfer

the Put Option Agreement. Xx. Xxxxxx covenants and agrees to
use 50% of the proceeds (net of reasonable provisions for
federal, state and local taxes and of brokers' fees) of the
sale of his Registrable Securities to reduce his obligations
under the Promissory Notes (described in Section 3(c)).
2. If the registration statement referred to in Section 2.1(a) of
the Stock Rights Agreement (the "Registration Statement") has not been filed and
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on or
before June 8, 2002, then Section 3(d) of the Stock Rights Agreement, as amended
by the foregoing paragraph 1, shall be deleted and the following inserted in
lieu thereof:

and on each monthly anniversary thereafter for the next 14
months, there shall be released from the restrictions of
Section 3(a), automatically and without any action on the part
of any party hereto, an amount of Common Stock equal to 6.25%
of the Common Stock issued to such Stockholder pursuant to the
Merger Agreement as of the Effective Time, and on the
sixteenth anniversary thereafter, all Common Stock not
previously released hereunder shall be released; provided that
in the event the employment of such Shareholder with the
Company ceases for any or no reason (including, without
limitation, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without
cause or by resignation, death, disability or otherwise) then
the applicable per month percentage for releasing the
restrictions of Section 3(a) shall be 12.5% instead of 6.25%.
All Common Stock released from the restrictions of Section
