                                            Pubco Common Stock Lock-up Agreement

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT REGARDING THE ISSUANCE OF PUBCO MERGER SHARES
PRESBY CORP SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

     Presby Corp ("Presby" or the "Company") plans to enter into a reverse
merger transaction (the "Reverse Merger") with a publicly-traded company,
concurrent with a private placement of equity securities (the "Funding
Transactions"). The public-traded company, which is called ("Pubco") for
purposes of this letter, will then succeed to and operate the eyecare surgical
products business of Presby under the current management of Presby. We expect to
close these Funding Transactions within the next several weeks. Pubco is not
identified at this time due to securities regulations regarding knowledge of
upcoming transactions involving public-traded securities. You are a current
holder of shares of Presby stock, and if we are successful in closing the
Funding Transactions, you will receive common stock of Pubco ("Pubco Merger
Shares") in exchange for your stock in Presby.

     The undersigned, _______________________________________hereby agrees not
to, directly or indirectly, (1) publicly sell, contract to sell or otherwise
transfer any of the Pubco Merger Shares beneficially owned by you or (2)
privately sell, contract to sell or otherwise transfer (unless the proposed
transferee agrees to be bound by the restrictions on transfer contained herein)
any of the Pubco Merger Shares beneficially owned by you; provided, however,
that following one year after the effective date of the Registration Statement
covering the Pubco Merger Shares, you may transfer your Pubco Merger Shares,
publicly or otherwise, at a rate of nine percent (9%) of the Pubco Merger Shares
beneficially owned by you (calculated at the date of the closing of the Funding
Transactions) per month, subject to applicable securities laws. You will no
longer be bound by the terms of this lock-up letter following two years after
the date of closing of the Reverse Merger.

     Pubco, acting with the consent of the placement agents and financial
advisors, may waive any provision of this lock-up letter without notice to any
third party.

     If you do not execute and return this lock-up letter to the Company on or
before February 26, 2003, the Company may not be able to consummate the Funding
Transactions. If the Funding Transactions are consummated notwithstanding your
failure to execute and return this lock-up letter to the Company, you will not
be entitled to include any of your Pubco Merger Shares in the Registration
Statement.

     By signing and returning this letter in the manner indicated below, you
further (i) represent and consent that you have full power and authority to
enter into this lock-up letter, and that, upon request, you will execute any
additional documents necessary or desirable in connection with this lock-up
letter and its enforcement; and (ii) understand that this lock-up letter is
irrevocable by you, all authority herein conferred by you or agreed to be
conferred by you shall survive your death or incapacity, and any of your
obligations hereunder shall be binding on you and your heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns.

     In order to enable the aforesaid covenant to be enforced, you hereby
consent to the placing of a legend and/or stop-transfer order with the transfer
agent of Pubco Common Stock with respect to any of the Pubco Merger Shares
registered in your name or beneficially owned by you.

     Whether or not the Funding Transactions actually occur depends on a number
of factors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this lock-up letter will
expire on March 31, 2003 in the event that the Funding Transactions are not
consummated on or before such date.
