(a "Mandatory Sale of Shares"). Employee (or the estate of Employee) shall,
against the payment of the Mandatory Sale Purchase Price, deliver the Mandatory
Sale Shares to the Company or its assigns free and clear of any Liens
accompanied by stock transfer instruments and endorsements satisfactory to the
Company. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company is hereby
appointed as the attorney-in-fact of Employee (and the estate of Employee) with
full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of Employee (or the
estate of Employee) all such documents, certificates, agreements,
indemnifications, guarantees, endorsements and instruments, and to take all
other actions which the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company deems
necessary or desirable, in connection with and in furtherance of any Mandatory
Sale of Shares.

            (d) In the event that a Mandatory Sale Election shall be made by the
Company, the "Mandatory Sale Purchase Price" shall be $0.30 per Share which is
the subject of the Mandatory Sale Election. The Mandatory Sale Purchase Price
under this Section 7(d)(ii) shall be proportionately adjusted from time to time
in the case of any stock dividend (including without limitation any dividend or
distribution to holders of the Common Stock of any Common Stock Equivalents),
stock split, stock combination, reclassification or recapitalization affecting
as a class the Common Stock outstanding occurring subsequent to the date hereof
and prior to closing of the Mandatory Sale of Shares; and any such adjustments
shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith and shall
be final and binding on the Company and Employee.

      8.    Voting.

            (a) In connection with any matter submitted to the holders of the
Common Stock or other capital stock or securities of the Company, Employee shall
vote all Shares in favor or against such matters (including without limitation
the election of directors of the Company) in the same proportion as the Majority
Holders shall vote their shares of Common Stock and other capital stock and
securities of the Company.

            (b) Employee hereby grants to the Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company a proxy to vote all Shares as provided in Section 8(a) hereof;
and such proxy shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death or
disability of Employee. In the event that, for any reason, the foregoing proxy
shall become unenforceable or shall have expired, then Employee shall execute
and grant a new proxy on the same terms as provided herein. The proxy granted
hereunder, and the obligations of the undersigned under this Section 8(a), shall
be noted in the voting records and registrar of the Company if required by the
Company.

Company, Employee shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken,
such further or other actions as may be deemed necessary or desirable to carry
out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and to consummate and give effect

            (d) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
  with the Laws of the State of Delaware.

            (e) Any action, suit or other proceeding initiated by any party

brought only in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or
a Delaware state court located in the City of Wilmington having appropriate
jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby submit themselves to the jurisdiction of

means by which notices are to be given to it under this Agreement.

            (f) The parties hereto acknowledge that the award of damages for any

entitled also to its legal costs in connection with the enforcement of such
rights. In the event that it is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the party against whom such enforcement is sought is not in
material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, then such party shall
be entitled to its legal costs in connection with the defense of the action
brought against it.

            (h) Neither this Agreement nor any claims or rights under this
Agreement shall be assignable otherwise than by operation of law by any party
without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any purported
assignment by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties
shall be void. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective successors (whether by merger or
otherwise) and permitted assigns.

amendment or supplementation of this Agreement, shall be effective only if in
writing. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or
conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a
party's rights under this Agreement at any time to enforce strict compliance
thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement.

            (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall not create benefits on behalf of any third party or any other
Person; and this Agreement shall be effective only as among the parties hereto,
their successors and permitted assigns.

            (k) In the event that any provision contained in this Agreement
shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for
any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in
every other respect and the remaining

                                       12
