lease or other agreement,  instrument,  permit, concession,  franchise, license,
judgment,  order, notice,  decree,  statute, law, ordinance,  rule or regulation

         4.  Covenants  of  the  Stockholder.  Until  the  termination  of  this
Agreement in accordance with Section 11, the Stockholder agrees as follows:

                  (a)  Subject to Section 5, at any meeting of  stockholders  of
the Company  called to vote upon the Merger and the Merger  Agreement  or at any
adjournment  thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or
other approval (including by written consent) with respect to the Merger and the
Merger  Agreement is sought from the Company's  stockholders in their capacities
as such,  the  Stockholder  shall,  including by executing a written  consent if
requested by 

<PAGE>

Parent,  vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject  Shares in favor of the Merger,
and the adoption and approval by the Company of the Merger Agreement.

                  (b) The  Stockholder  shall  not (i) sell,  transfer,  pledge,
assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift)  (collectively,  "Transfer"),
consent  to any  Transfer  of,  or enter  into  any  contract,  option  or other
arrangement  (including  any profit  sharing  arrangement)  with  respect to the
Transfer of, any or all of the Subject  Shares (or any interest  therein) to any
person  other  than  pursuant  to the terms of the Merger or (ii) enter into any
voting  arrangement,  whether  by  proxy,  voting  agreement  or  otherwise,  in
connection with, directly or indirectly,  any Takeover Proposal,  and agrees not
to commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions; provided, however, that
notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Agreement,  the
Stockholder may, without the consent of Parent or any other person, transfer any
or all of the Subject Shares (or any interest therein) to one or more members of
the Stockholder's family, any trust for the benefit of the Stockholder or one or
more  members  of the  Stockholder's  family  or any  entity  controlled  by the
Stockholder  so long as the  transferee of such Subject Shares (or such interest
therein) agrees to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

                  (c) The Stockholder shall not, nor shall he instruct any agent
or any investment  banker,  attorney or other adviser or  representative  of the
Stockholder  to,  directly or  indirectly,  (i)  solicit,  initiate or knowingly
encourage  the  submission  to the  Company  of, any  Takeover  Proposal or (ii)
participate  in any  discussions  or  negotiations  with any person  (other than
Parent and its affiliates,  agents and representatives) regarding, or furnish to
any such person any  non-public  information  with respect to, or take any other
action  intended  to  facilitate  the  making of any  inquiry or  proposal  that
constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal.

                  (d) If, at the time the  Merger  Agreement  is  submitted  for
approval to the  stockholders of the Company,  the Stockholder is an "affiliate"
of the Company for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act or for purposes
of qualifying  the Merger for pooling of interests  accounting  treatment  under
Opinion  16 of the  Accounting  Principles  Board and  applicable  SEC rules and
regulations,  the Stockholder shall deliver to Parent on or prior to the Closing
Date a written agreement  substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the
Merger Agreement.

         5.       Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.

                  (a) Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 11, the Stockholder hereby  irrevocably grants to, and appoints,  Parent
and Jure Sola and Randy W. Furr, in their  respective  capacities as officers of
Parent,  and any  individual who shall  hereafter  succeed to any such office of
Parent,   and  each  of  them   individually,   the   Stockholder's   proxy  and
attorney-in-fact  (with full power of substitution),  for and in the name, place
and stead of the Stockholder,  to vote the Subject Shares, or grant a consent or
approval  in respect of the Subject  Shares,  in favor of approval of the Merger
and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement.

                  (b) The  Stockholder  represents  that any proxies  heretofore
given in respect of the Subject  Shares are not  irrevocable,  and that all such
proxies are hereby revoked.

<PAGE>

                  (c) The Stockholder  hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy
set forth in this  Section 5 is given in  connection  with the  execution of the
Merger  Agreement,  and that  such  irrevocable  proxy is  given to  secure  the
performance  of  the  duties  of  the  Stockholder  under  this  Agreement.  The
Stockholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an
interest  and may under no  circumstances  be revoked.  The  Stockholder  hereby
ratifies and  confirms all that such proxies and  attorneys in fact may lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  Such irrevocable proxy is executed and
intended to be irrevocable  in accordance  with the provisions of Section 212(e)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         6. Further Assurances. The Stockholder will, from time to time, execute
and deliver,  or cause to be executed and delivered,  such additional or further
consents,  documents and other instruments as Parent may reasonably  request for
the purpose of effectively  carrying out the  transactions  contemplated by this
Agreement.

         7. Certain Events.  The Stockholder  agrees that this Agreement and the
obligations  hereunder  shall attach to the Subject  Shares and shall be binding
upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such Subject
Shares  shall pass,  whether by operation of law or  otherwise,  including  such
Stockholder's heirs,  guardians,  administrators or successors.  In the event of
any stock split, stock dividend,  merger,  reorganization,  recapitalization  or
other change in the capital  structure of the Company  affecting  the  Company's
Common Stock, or the  acquisition of additional  shares of Common Stock or other
voting  securities  of the  Company  by the  Stockholder,  the number of Subject
Shares shall be adjusted  appropriately  and this Agreement and the  obligations
hereunder shall attach to any additional  shares of Common Stock or other voting
securities of the Company issued to or acquired by the Stockholder.

         8.  Registration  Rights.  If the Stockholder  determines in good faith
after  consultation  with the  Stockholder's  counsel  that any shares of common
stock of Parent  received  by the  Stockholder  in  connection  with the  Merger
("Merger  Shares") may be deemed to be  "restricted  securities"  under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
or are otherwise  subject to any restriction on resale (other than  restrictions
imposed by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act or restrictions imposed
by Accounting  Series  Release  135),  then,  as soon as  practicable  after the
Effective  Time (and in any  event  within 30 days  after the  Effective  Time),
Parent, at its sole expense,  shall (a) file a registration statement permitting
the resale of the Merger Shares,  (b) take all actions  reasonably  necessary to
cause such  registration  statement to be declared  effective,  (c) maintain the
effectiveness  and availability of such  registration  statement until the first
anniversary of the Effective Time, (d) use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to
register  or  qualify  the  Merger  Shares  under  the  Blue  Sky  laws  of such
jurisdictions  as the Stockholder  shall  reasonably  request,  and maintain the
effectiveness  of  such  registrations  and  qualifications  for as long as such
registration statement remains effective, and (e) take such other actions as are
reasonably necessary to enable the Stockholder to sell the Merger Shares without
restriction.  To the extent  permitted by law,  Parent shall  indemnify and hold
harmless  the  Stockholder  against  and from  any  costs,  expenses  (including
reasonable attorneys' fees), settlement payments,  claims,  demands,  judgments,
fines,  penalties,  losses,  damages  and  liabilities  

<PAGE>

that arise out of or are related to any  inaccuracy in, or omission with respect
to, such registration statement.

         9.  Indemnification.  Parent  shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless  the
Stockholder   and   the   Stockholder's   affiliates,   agents,   advisers   and
representatives (the "Indemnified Parties") against and from any costs, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees),  settlement payments,  claims,  demands,
judgments,  fines,  penalties,  losses,  damages  and  liabilities  incurred  in
connection  with any  claim,  suit,  action  or  proceeding  (whether  asserted,
commenced or arising before or after the Effective Time) that arises directly or
indirectly from or relates directly or indirectly to (a) the execution, delivery
or performance of this Agreement, or (b) any of the transactions contemplated by
this  Agreement.  In the event any such claim,  suit,  action or  proceeding  is
asserted or commenced  against any Indemnified  Party,  (i) Parent shall advance
and pay the  reasonable  fees  and  expenses  of any  counsel  retained  by such
Indemnified  Party in  connection  with such claim,  suit,  action or proceeding
promptly after receipt of a request  therefor from such  Indemnified  Party, and
(ii) Parent shall  cooperate with such  Indemnified  Party and such  Indemnified
Party's counsel in the defense of such claim, suit, action or proceeding. Parent
agrees to pay all expenses,  including  attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by
any of the Indemnified  Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations
provided for in this Section 9.

         10.  Assignment.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b), neither
this Agreement nor any of the rights,  interests or obligations  hereunder shall
be  assigned by the  Stockholder,  on the one hand,  without  the prior  written
consent of Parent nor by Parent,  on the other hand,  without the prior  written
consent  of the  Stockholder,  except  that  Parent  may  assign,  in  its  sole
discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (other
than  Parent's  obligations  under  Sections 8 and 9) to any direct or  indirect
wholly owned  subsidiary of Parent  (provided that in the case of any assignment
by Parent to any such  subsidiary  of Parent,  Parent shall  remain  jointly and
severally  liable  for the due and  timely  performance  of any  obligations  so
assigned) . Subject to the preceding  sentence,  this  Agreement will be binding
upon,  inure to the  benefit  of and be  enforceable  by the  parties  and their
respective representatives, executors, administrators, estate, heirs, successors
and assigns.

         11.  Termination.  This  Agreement  (including the proxy referred to in
Section  5) and all  rights of Parent  and all  obligations  of the  Stockholder
hereunder,  shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the Effective Time or
(ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its
terms;  provided,   however,  that  notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary
contained in this  Agreement,  the rights of the Stockholder and the obligations
of Parent pursuant to Sections 8 and 9, and the provisions contained in Sections
12, 13 and 15, shall survive any termination of this Agreement..

         12.      General Provisions.

                  (a)  Amendments.  This  Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

<PAGE>

                  (b) Notice.  All notices  and other  communications  hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or sent by
overnight  courier  (providing  proof of delivery) to Parent in accordance  with
Section 8.2 of the Merger  Agreement and to the  Stockholder  at his address set
forth on  Schedule A attached  hereto (or at such other  address  for a party as
shall be specified by like notice).

                  (c) Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement
to a Section,  such  reference  shall be to a Section to this  Agreement  unless
otherwise indicated.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or  interpretation  of
this Agreement. Wherever the words "include," "includes@ or "including" are used
in this  Agreement,  they shall be deemed to be followed  by the words  "without
limitation."

                  (d)  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be executed in one or
more  counterparts,  all of  which  shall  be  deemed  to be one  and  the  same
agreement,  and shall become effective when one or more of the counterparts have
been signed by each of the parties and  delivered to the other  party,  it being
understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

                  (e)  Entire  Agreement;  No  Third-Party  Beneficiaries.   The
Agreement  (including  the  documents  and  instruments  referred to herein) (i)
constitutes  the  entire  agreement  and  supersedes  all prior  agreements  and
understandings,  both written and oral,  between the parties with respect to the
subject  matter  hereof and (ii) is not intended to confer upon any person other
than the  parties  hereto (and the other  persons  referred to in Section 9) any
rights or remedies hereunder.

                  (f)  Governing  Law. This Agreement  shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance  with,  the laws of the State of Delaware  regardless of
the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of
law thereof.

                  (g) No  Limitations.  Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall,  and
nothing in this  Agreement  shall be deemed to,  prevent  the  Stockholder  from
acting in accordance  with his fiduciary  duties as a director of the Company or
otherwise  limit  the  ability  of the  Stockholder  to take any  action  in his
capacity as a director or officer of the Company.

                  (h) Voidability.  If prior to the execution hereof,  the Board
of  Directors  of the  Company  shall not have duly and validly  authorized  and
approved  by all  necessary  corporate  action,  the  Merger  Agreement  and the
transactions  contemplated thereby, so that by the execution and delivery hereof
Parent  or Sub  would  become,  or could  reasonably  be  expected  to become an
"interested  stockholder"  within the meaning of Section  203 of the DGCL,  then
this  Agreement  shall  be  void  and  unenforceable  until  such  time  as such
authorization and approval shall have been duly and validly obtained.

         13. Enforcement.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur
in the event that any of the  provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance  with  their  specific  terms  or  were  otherwise  breached.  It  is
accordingly  agreed that the  parties  shall be  entitled  to an  injunction  or
injunctions to prevent  breaches of this  Agreement and to enforce  specifically
the terms and  

<PAGE>

provisions of this  Agreement in any court of the United  States  located in the
State of Delaware or in a Delaware  state  court,  this being in addition to any
other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  In addition,  each
of the  parties  hereto  (i)  consents  to  submit  such  party to the  personal
jurisdiction  of any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware
or any  Delaware  state  court  in the  event  any  dispute  arises  out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions  contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that such
party will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or
other  request for leave from any such court,  (iii) agrees that such party will
not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby in any court other than a court of the United States located in the State
of Delaware or a Delaware state court and (iv) waives any right to trial by jury
with  respect  to any claim or  proceeding  related  to or  arising  out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

         14.  Public  Announcement.  Except  to the  extent  required  by law or
regulation,  the  Stockholder  shall not issue any press release or other public
statement with respect to the  transactions  contemplated  by this Agreement and
the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent.

         15.  Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid,  illegal or  incapable  of being  enforced by any rule of law or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect.  Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
shall  negotiate  in good  faith to modify  this  Agreement  so as to effect the
original  intent of the parties as closely as  possible  to the  fullest  extent
permitted  by  applicable  law in an  acceptable  manner  to the  end  that  the
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
