(the Company) was granted by the Company on September 29, 2003 in connection with the employment agreement (the Employment Agreement), dated as of September 24, 2003, by and between the Company and Jose Ferreira, Jr. (the Executive). Two million shares of the Grant vested immediately upon grant and were deferred pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement and the terms of the Eos International, Inc. 2003 Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, four million shares of the Grant will vest on September 30, 2004, and an additional four million shares of the Grant will vest on September 30, 2005. Upon a Change of Control under the Employment Agreement, the deferral will accelerate. Upon a Change of Control under the Plan, all unvested shares will immediately vest. Upon the occurrence of certain termination events set forth in the Employment Agreement, a portion of the unvested shares of the Grant will immediately vest. Prior to the vesting dates, the Executive may elect to defer receipt of the unvested shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Pending vesting of the shares or expiration of the deferral of the shares, deferred shares and unvested shares are to be held in trust pursuant to a trust agreement (the Trust Agreement) between the Company and PNC Bank, National Association, as trustee (the Trustee), the form of which has been substantially agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee. | ||||||||

The Executive is not permitted to vote or dispose of shares subject to the Grant which are unvested or deferred. | ||||||||
In the event of a tender offer, merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, restructure, recapitalization, reorganization, or rights offering by the Company or any other transaction which requires the Trustee to make any decision regarding the shares of the Grant held in trust or rights to be exercised in connection with such shares, in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Compensation Committee has the power and authority to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee is required by the Trust Agreement to follow such direction, regarding the disposition of the shares in connection with any such transaction. | ||||||||
