Dear Mr. Ryan:

      In consideration for your agreement to pay Billy Dead, Inc. (the
"Company") the sum of $114.00, we have issued to you 57 shares of our common
stock. We anticipate changing the Company's capitalization by amending our
certificate of incorporation (the "Amendment"), as a result of which the 57
shares you currently hold will be automatically converted, without any action on
your part, into 114,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share.

            We have agreed that if you resign as a director of the Company for
any reason or are removed by the stockholders by cause, prior to the successful
completion of the Company's initial public offering and the sale of the
securities registered in connection with such offering (the "IPO"), the Company
will have the right to repurchase all of the Shares for an aggregate price of
$114 ($0.001 per Share, or $2.00 per share if the Amendment not yet been filed
with the Delaware Secretary of State), provided that such right is exercised by
the Company prior to the completion of the IPO. If you cease to be a director of
the Company, as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, within one
year following the successful completion of the IPO, the Company will have the
right to repurchase 75% of the Shares, at a price of $0.001 per Share (as
adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations or the like), provided that such
right is exercised by the Company prior to such first anniversary. If you cease
to be a director of the Company, as provided in the first sentence of this
paragraph, after the first anniversary of the completion of the IPO but before
the second anniversary, the Company will have the right to repurchase 50% of the
Shares, at a price of $0.001 per Share (as adjusted for stock splits,
recapitalizations or the like), provided that such right is exercised by the
Company prior to such second anniversary. After the second anniversary of the
successful completion of the IPO, the Company will no longer have any right to
repurchase any of the Shares.

            Any certificates representing the Shares may have a restrictive
legend to such effect reflecting the rights of the Company to repurchase the
Shares.

            If the following accurately reflects our agreement, please sign
below where indicated and return a copy to us at your earliest convenience.

                              Very truly yours,
                              BILLY DEAD, INC.

Dear Mr. Young:

            In consideration for your agreement to pay Billy Dead, Inc. (the
"Company") the sum of $72.00, we have issued to you 36 shares of its common
stock. We anticipate changing the Company's capitalization by amending our
certificate of incorporation (the "Amendment"), as a result of which the 36
shares you currently hold will be automatically converted, without any action on
your part, into 72,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share.

            We have agreed that if you resign as a director of the Company for
any reason or are removed by the stockholders for cause, prior to the successful
completion of the Company's initial public offering and the sale of the
securities registered in connection with such offering (the "IPO"), the Company
will have the right to repurchase all of the Shares for an aggregate price of
$72 ($0.001 per Share, or $2.00 per share if the Amendment not yet been filed
with the Delaware Secretary of State), provided that such right is exercised by
the Company prior to the completion of the IPO. If you cease to be a director of
the Company, as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, within one
year following the successful completion of the IPO, the Company will have the
right to repurchase 75% of the Shares, at a price of $0.001 per Share (as
adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations or the like), provided that such
right is exercised by the Company prior such first anniversary. If you cease to
be a director of the Company, as provided in the first sentence of this
paragraph, after the first anniversary of the completion of the IPO but before
the second anniversary, the Company will have the right to repurchase 50% of the
Shares, at a price of $0.001 per Share (as adjusted for stock splits,
recapitalizations or the like), provided that such right is exercised by the
Company prior to such second anniversary. After the second anniversary of the
successful completion of the IPO, the Company will no longer have any right to
repurchase any of the Shares.

            You have agreed to resign as a director of the Company if the
Company, upon the advice of counsel, reasonably demonstrates that you do not
qualify as an "independent" director within the applicable definition under any
listing rules then applicable to the Company.

            Any certificates representing the Shares may have a restrictive
legend to such effect reflecting the rights of the Company to repurchase the
Shares.

            If the following accurately reflects our agreement, please sign
