your individual revenue and gross margin goals for 1999.

You will be granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on
the date of grant, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the

summary which will give you an overview of the Release benefits. You will
receive detailed benefit information after your employment start date.

As a condition of employment at ReleaseNow.com, you must be able to produce
documentation that verifies your eligibility to be employed in the United
States. This documentation generally consists of two pieces of identification
(that is, Social Security Card, a valid drivers license or birth certificate).
This documentation must be available on your first day of work. It will also be
necessary to sign the Company's standard confidentiality agreement relating
to the protection of the Company's proprietary and confidential information and
assignment of inventions. In addition, you will abide by the Company's strict
