year ended December 31, 2001 exceed PRG's actual fully diluted earnings per
share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 by at least 25% and (3) PRG's
total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 exceed PRG's total
revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 by at least 20%, the
portion of your Stock Award that vests on August 14, 2005 will vest instead on

effect of any acquisitions completed by PRG after August 1, 2000 by including
the revenues and earnings of such acquired company from January 1 of the year in
which the acquisition occurred through the closing date of the acquisition in
the revenues and earnings of PRG for the year in which the acquisition occurred
and will include the revenues and earnings of the acquired company during the
calendar year preceding the acquisition in the revenues and
2
earnings of PRG for the fiscal year preceding the acquisition in making the
calculations herein. All calculations and adjustments to PRG's reported earnings
per share and revenues for the determination of the numbers provided for herein
shall be made by PRG in its sole discretion and shall be binding on you.
(iii) Change of Control of PRG. Notwithstanding Section B(i) hereof, but

termination of employment, in the event that either (i) any person or group of
affiliated persons who, immediately prior to any transaction(s) hereinafter
described, did not own 5% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock,
acquire beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), in a transaction or series of
related transactions, shares of Stock which represent more than 50% of all
issued and outstanding shares of Stock (other than (A) in a transaction in which
PRG has issued the shares of Stock to such person or group of affiliated persons
or (B) acquisitions which are not effected with the purpose of accomplishing a
change in control of PRG, as evidenced in the Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filed
by such person or group of affiliated persons), or (ii) PRG sells all or
substantially all of its assets to an unrelated third party in a transaction or
