Perkins, I would use the rule of the last antecedent to say that the date indicates the business of the company, not the grant. It also seems more likely that the sentence is expressing substantively what the company's business is defined as, rather than the pedestrian notion that the grant is as of the date of the agreement.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

“Not dead yet!”
Good lord, Madonna. I'm scared.
Ew, her thighs! I mean, I want toned, but that's ooooogie.

Ew. Madonna needs to grow up a bit, dontcha think? You can look hot without being half naked. Remember the vid for Respect Yourself? Hubba.
ETA: Wait, was that Express Yourself?

“Not dead yet!”
Thanks for the additional birthday wishes, y'all. As I said over in Bitches, I'm waiting on the Hub to bring home mystery dinner. I'm hoping for Mexican with perhaps Cold Stone Creamery for dessert. I mean, we determined that birthday calories don't count, right?
And in other My Hub Loves Me and Knows Me Well-- knowing of my unholy love for bomber jackets, ordered me this modified bomber.
And even better, he ordered it on deep sale with an extra 20% discount. Man knows the way to a girl's heart.
Kind of a nice contrast to my mother's idea of a birthday gift which was to tell me that my father had filed for divorce from his wife.
"This is your idea of a birthday gift, Ma?"
"It happened over a month ago, Barbara-- but I know you haven't wanted to hear about it."
"So you choose to tell me today, ergo, this is your idea of a birthday gift?"
I knew she was going to drop some bomb on me today. *shakes head*

Since I'm hating everything else right now, I'd like to add the Baltimore Sun paper's redesign to the list. It makes no SENSE. It's all jumbled and shit.
