The ri= ght of the Beneficiary to the stock option will only be available once vest= ed. The Beneficiary may exercise vested options within the validity period= of five (5) years from date of grant. In no event may Beneficiary exercis= e or have any rights to unvested options. In no event may Beneficiary exerc= ise or have any rights in a stock option after the term of the validity per= iod expires. -----Original Message----- From: =09Ryan, Noel =20 Sent:=09Wednesday, July 11, 2001 1:55 PM To:=09Butler, Pam Subject:=09ESA Retention Plan Pam The ESA lawyers sent us a draft of the "evergreen agreement" that the emplo= yees are going to sign before they receive options and base salary increase= s. Could you make sure the wording for the vesting schedule (highlighted i= n yellow) is acceptable. << File: retention 2001 options2.doc >>=20 Noel Ryan x 5-2527
