the Stock Option was accelerated. As long as Mark Torrance complies with certain
restrictions, the Stock Option will vest in accordance with the following
schedule: 175,000 Option Shares have vested on November 1, 1998 and the
remaining 375,000 Option Shares vest at a rate of 15,000 Option Shares per month
thereafter. 415,000 Option Shares are exercisable within 60 days after the date
hereof.
