Ladies and Gentlemen:

         The undersigned understands that Schneider Securities, Inc. (the

of, grant any security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise sell or
dispose of any of the Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any
Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common

undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has the power of
disposition, in any such case whether now owned or hereafter acquired at any
time prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, other than as a

undersigned exercises such options or warrants prior to the expiration of the
twelve month period commencing on the Effective Date, he, she or it agrees that
the Common Stock purchased on such exercise of options or warrants will be

undersigned agrees that he, she or it will not sell, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of such Common Stock pursuant to the exemption afforded by
Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, during such twelve month

         The undersigned further agrees that he, she or it shall not enter into
any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion of the economic
consequences associated with the ownership of any Common Stock owned by the

         The undersigned further agrees that all of the rights, authority and
preemptive provisions granted to the Representative pursuant to the foregoing
provisions may be transferred by the Representative to any other NASD member

Securities.

         Power of Attorney. The undersigned is aware that in order to comply
with the corporate governance rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.,
restrictions on transfer of the Company's Common Stock which are not subject to
waiver may be imposed for a period of time after the date of the public
offering. The undersigned agrees that the Common Stock certificate(s) issued to
the undersigned may, at the Company's discretion, contain a legend to reflect
the aforementioned restriction(s). Furthermore, it is possible that The Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc. may require an extension of the foregoing restrictions on
transfer and lock-up beyond one year as a condition of listing the Common Stock.
The undersigned hereby appoints Mark R. Laramie his attorney-in-fact to execute
any required extension of the restrictions on transfer and lock-up on his, her
or its behalf so that the Common Stock may be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market. This power of attorney is a special power of attorney for the execution
of restrictions on transfer upon the securities of the undersigned to ensure
compliance with the corporate governance rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.,
and such special power of attorney (but not any additional restriction on
transfer agreed to by the attorney-in-fact) shall terminate following the sale
of the Securities in the public offering. This power of attorney must be
exercised by the attorney-in-fact such that all shareholders of the Company are
subject to the same restrictions on transfer or lock-up provisions. The
attorney-in-fact is authorized to notify the Company's transfer agent of any
additional restrictions imposed pursuant to agreement with The Nasdaq Stock
Market, Inc., and to instruct such transfer agent to appropriately legend any
certificates representing Common Stock owned by the undersigned to reflect any
additional restrictions agreed to by the attorney-in-fact.

     b. A member will be presumed to control a company if the member and persons
associated with the member beneficially own 10% or more of the outstanding
