                              of the Company, a stock option with respect to a
                              number of shares of common stock of the
                              reorganized Company equal to 1% of the then

                              of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the shares
                              on June 30, 2002, provided that Rembold remains
                              employed by or serves as a consultant to the
                              Company during the period ending on June 30, 2002,
