Re: Acceleration of Options

 

Dear Jeff:

 

Subject to your countersignature of this letter, the Board of Directors has
caused the stock options granted to you by the Company on April 27, 2005 to
become fully vested and immediately exercisable. This action is conditioned on
your agreement not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer (for the period
specified below) any legal or beneficial interest in the shares that you may
acquire upon exercise of those options. The transfer restrictions will lapse
with respect to one-third of the shares subject to these options on each of the
first, second and third anniversary of today’s date. The Company’s transfer
agent will be notified of these transfer restrictions and any certificates
issued upon exercise of these options may be legended accordingly. The Board of
Directors may waive these transfer restrictions, in whole or in part, under
limited or extraordinary circumstances (such as your death or disability, or
upon a change in control of the Company) if then appropriate in its sole
discretion. To acknowledge your agreement to the foregoing, please execute this
letter in the space provided below and return the signed original to me.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Donald Gayhardt

Donald Gayhardt

 

President

 

 

 

Acknowledged and Agreed on this 30th day of June, 2005
