Shareholder of Fiber Optic Network Solutions Corp., a Massachusetts corporation
(the “Company”), whose signature is set forth on the signature pages to this
Agreement (each a “Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Shareholders”). 
Capitalized terms which are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent
and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
July 21, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for Falcon Venture Corp.,
a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger
Sub”), to be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the
Massachusetts Business Corporation Act and the terms of the Merger Agreement, as
a result of which the Company will be the surviving corporation and will be a
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, the execution of this Agreement by the Shareholders is a condition to
Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement on the terms contained
therein;

 

WHEREAS, the Shareholders own in the aggregate over 66.67% of the Company
Capital Stock issued and outstanding; and

 

WHEREAS, the Shareholders desire that the Company and Parent consummate the
Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement and are willing to enter into this
Agreement to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and
agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows:

 

1.                                       AGREEMENT TO VOTE, NOT TO TENDER.  AT

OR OTHERWISE SEEKS A VOTE OF, THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CONSIDERING AND APPROVING THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THE MERGER AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE SHAREHOLDERS HEREBY AGREES TO VOTE ALL SHARES

BENEFICIALLY) IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER ACTIONS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE FOR THE
CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER.  IN ADDITION, DURING THE TERM HEREOF, EACH OF THE

EFFECT OF IMPEDING THE ABILITY OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY TO CONSUMMATE THE
MERGER.  FURTHERMORE, EACH SHAREHOLDER AGREES NOT TO TENDER, SELL OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFER SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S SHARES OF COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

2.                                       IRREVOCABLE PROXY.  EACH SHAREHOLDER

HEREBY REVOKES ANY PROXY PREVIOUSLY GRANTED BY IT WITH RESPECT TO THE
SHAREHOLDER’S SHARES OF COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK.

PRESENTED FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS GENERALLY AND THE
PROXY GRANTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2 HEREOF SHALL BE INAPPLICABLE IN SUCH
CIRCUMSTANCES.  THE PROXY GRANTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2 OF
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE ON THE EARLIER OF (A) THE EFFECTIVE TIME OF THE
MERGER, OR (B) THE TERMINATION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS
TERMS.

 

4.                                       NO NEGOTIATIONS.  PRIOR TO TERMINATION
OF THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 9 HEREOF, EACH SHAREHOLDER HEREBY
COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT HE, SHE OR IT WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY,
SOLICIT, INITIATE OR ENCOURAGE SUBMISSION OF ANY PROPOSAL OR OFFER FROM ANY

PROXIES, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR ACQUISITION OR PURCHASE OF ALL OR A MATERIAL
PORTION OF THE ASSETS OF, OR ANY EQUITY INTEREST IN, THE COMPANY OR ANY

COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY (AN “ACQUISITION PROPOSAL”), OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY
DISCUSSIONS OR NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING, OR FURNISH TO ANY OTHER PERSON ANY
INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO, OR OTHERWISE COOPERATE IN ANY WAY WITH, OR ASSIST
OR PARTICIPATE IN, FACILITATE OR ENCOURAGE, ANY EFFORT OR ATTEMPT BY ANY OTHER
PERSON OR ENTITY TO DO OR SEEK ANY OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT TO EXTENT NECESSARY
TO FULFILL SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S FIDUCIARY DUTIES AS AN OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OF THE
COMPANY.  EACH SHAREHOLDER SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE COMPANY IF ANY SUCH
ACQUISITION PROPOSAL, OR ANY INQUIRY FROM OR CONTACT WITH ANY PERSON WITH
RESPECT THERETO, IS MADE AND SHALL PROMPTLY PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH SUCH
INFORMATION REGARDING SUCH ACQUISITION PROPOSAL, INQUIRY OR CONTACT AS THE
COMPANY MAY REQUEST.  IN ADDITION, PRIOR TO TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO SECTION 9 HEREOF, NO SHAREHOLDER SHALL, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, MAKE
OR AUTHORIZE ANY PUBLIC STATEMENT, RECOMMENDATION OR SOLICITATION IN SUPPORT OF
ANY PROPOSAL MADE BY ANY PERSON, ENTITY OR GROUP (OTHER THAN PARENT) RELATING TO
