AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Definitions.
For the purposes of this Agreement, terms not defined herein but used herein
and defined in the Merger Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the
Merger Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

 

2.                                       Voting
Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby agrees with Parent and Merger Sub that,
at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders, however called, such Stockholder
shall appear at each such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause
all of their respective Stockholder Shares then outstanding to be counted as
present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and such Stockholder
shall vote, or cause to be voted (or in connection with any written consent of
the Company’s stockholders, act, or cause to be acted, by written consent, if
so permitted) with respect to all Stockholder Shares that such Stockholder is
entitled to vote or as to which such Stockholder has the right to direct the
voting, as of the relevant record date, (i) in favor of the Merger
Agreement and the Merger and each of the other actions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement and this Agreement and actions required in furtherance thereof
and hereof; (ii) against any proposal that is intended to, or is
reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions of the Parent’s or Merger
Sub’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled; and (iii) against
(A) any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or (B) the
election of a group of individuals to replace a majority or more of the
individuals presently on the Board of Directors of the Company; provided that if one or more individuals
presently on the Board of Directors withdraws his or her nomination for
reelection at any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, such
Stockholder may vote for a replacement director nominated by the Company’s
Board of Directors for such individual(s); provided
further that nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as
obligating any Stockholder to exercise any options to acquire shares of capital
stock of the Company.

 

3.                                       Proxy.

 

(a)                                  Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably (but
subject to the termination provisions of Section 6 hereof) constitutes and
appoints Parent, which shall act by and through Edward J. Herbst (the  “Proxy
Holder”), with full power of substitution, its true and lawful proxy
and attorney-in-fact to vote at any meeting (and any adjournment or postponement
thereof) of the Company’s stockholders called for purposes of considering
whether to approve any transaction described in Section 2 hereof, or to
execute a written consent of stockholders in lieu of any such meeting (if so
permitted), all Stockholder Shares held by such Stockholder of record as of the
relevant record date, in the manner specified in Section 2 hereof.

 

2

 

(b)                                 The proxy and power of attorney granted
herein shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to
support a proxy and shall revoke all prior proxies granted by each Stockholder
which conflict with the proxy granted herein. Each Stockholder will take such
further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to
effectuate the intent of this proxy and power of attorney. Each Stockholder
shall not grant any proxy to any person which conflicts with the proxy granted
herein, and any attempt to do so shall be void. The power of attorney granted
herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the insolvency,
incapacity, death or liquidation of a Stockholder, as the case may be.

 

(c)                                  If any Stockholder fails for any reason
to vote his, her or its Stockholder Shares as required by Section 2
hereof, then the Proxy Holder shall have the right to vote the Stockholder
Shares held by such Stockholder at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders
and in any action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders in
accordance with this Section 3. The vote of a Proxy Holder shall control
in any conflict between a vote of such Stockholder Shares by a Proxy Holder and
a vote of such Stockholder Shares by such Stockholder with respect to the
matters set forth in Section 2 hereof.

 

4.                                       Director and
Officer Matters Excluded. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that
no provision of this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict any
Stockholder with respect to any act or omission that a Stockholder may undertake
or authorize in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company,
including, without limitation, any vote that such Stockholder may make as
a director or officer of the Company with respect to any matter presented to
the Company Board.

 

5.                                       Other
Covenants, Representations and Warranties. Each Stockholder hereby
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Parent and Merger Sub as
follows:

 

(a)                                  Title to Stockholder Shares. Each Stockholder is the beneficial
owner (as defined in Rule 13(d)(3) promulgated under the Exchange
Act, “beneficial owner”) of all
the Stockholder Shares set forth in Annex A opposite such Stockholder’s
name. Each Stockholder has sole voting power and the sole power of disposition
with respect to all of his or her Stockholder Shares outstanding on the date
hereof, and will have sole voting power and sole power of disposition with
respect to all of his or her Stockholder Shares acquired after the date hereof
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any option, warrant or convertible
security owned or held by such Stockholder as of the date hereof, with no
limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights. Each Stockholder is
the sole record holder of his or her Stockholder Shares outstanding on the date
hereof as set forth in Annex A opposite such Stockholder’s name.

 

(b)                                 Power; Binding Agreement. Each Stockholder has the legal
capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform all of his or her
respective Stockholder obligations under this Agreement. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Stockholder will not violate
any agreement or court order to which such Stockholder is a party or is
subject, including, without limitation, any voting agreement or voting trust. This
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Stockholder
and constitutes a valid and binding agreement upon each Stockholder,
enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to
general principles of equity.

 

3

 

(c)                                  Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and
Non-Interference; Stop Transfer. Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, during the term of
this Agreement, no Stockholder shall, directly or indirectly:  (i) offer for sale, sell, transfer,
tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any
contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to, or
consent to the offer for sale, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance,
assignment or other disposition of, any or all of his or her Stockholder Shares
or any interest therein; (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with
respect to any Stockholder Shares which conflict with Section 3(a) hereof
and the proxy granted herein or deposit any Stockholder Shares into a voting
trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Stockholder Shares;
or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of
such Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of
preventing or disabling such Stockholder from performing any of his or her
respective Stockholder obligations under this Agreement. Each Stockholder
further agrees with and covenants to Parent that such Stockholder shall not
request that the Company register the transfer of any certificate or
uncertificated interest representing any of their Stockholder Shares, unless
such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. Each Stockholder
agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to
herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to
its transfer agent.

 

(d)                                 No Consents. To his, her or its knowledge, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by each Stockholder does not, and the performance by
each Stockholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, require
such Stockholder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of,
or to make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity.

 

(e)                                  Notification of Parent. Each Stockholder hereby agrees, while
this Agreement is in effect, to notify Parent and Merger Sub promptly of the
number of any additional shares of capital stock and the number and type of any
other voting securities of the Company acquired by such Stockholder, if any,
after the date hereof.

 

(f)                                    Reliance by Parent and Merger Sub. Each Stockholder understands and
acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement
in reliance upon such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 Sophistication. Each Stockholder acknowledges being an
informed and sophisticated investor and, together with such Stockholder’s
advisors, has undertaken such investigation as they have deemed necessary,
including the review of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, to enable the
Stockholder to make an informed and intelligent decision with respect to the
Merger Agreement and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
and hereby.

 

(h)                                 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 5(c), any
Stockholder that is a natural person shall have the right to transfer his or
her Stockholder Shares to (1) any Family Member (as defined below); (2) the
trustee or trustees of a trust for the benefit of such Stockholder and/or one
or more Family Members; (3)  the executor, administrator or personal
representative of the estate of such Stockholder; (4) any guardian,
trustee or conservator appointed with respect to the assets of such Stockholder
or (5) any transferee approved by Parent; 
provided that in the case
of any such transfer, the transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer,
execute an agreement to be

 

4

 

bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. “Family Member”
means the Stockholder’s spouse, father, mother, issue (if living with the
Stockholder), brother or sister.

 

6.                                       Termination.

person to whom notice is given may have previously furnished to the others
in writing in the manner set forth above.

 

(e)                                  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed or
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be
considered divisible and inoperative as to such provision to the extent it is
deemed to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and in all other respects this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided,
however, that if any provision of this
Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the
parties agree to replace such provision with a provision that is legal, valid
and enforceable and that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the
economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable
provision. Further, should any provision contained in this Agreement ever be
reformed or rewritten by any judicial body of competent jurisdiction, such
provision as so reformed or rewritten shall be binding upon all parties hereto.

 

(f)                                    No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any
right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in
respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other
party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the
parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by
such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or
to demand such compliance.

 

(g)                                 Governing Law; Submission to
Jurisdiction; Waivers; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. This
Agreement shall be deemed to be made in and in all respects shall be
interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the
State of Nevada without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. Each
party hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or assigns
shall be brought in the courts of the State of Nevada to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law and each of the parties hereto hereby (x)
irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and
in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive
personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises
out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (y) agrees that
it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or
other request for leave from any such court and (z) agrees that it will not
bring any action relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated
hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Any service of process to
be made in such action or proceeding may be made by delivery of process in
accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 7(d). Each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by
way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any

 

6

 

action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named
courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with
this Section 7(g), (b) that it or its property is exempt or
immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced
in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or
otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that
(i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an
inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper
and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be
enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by
jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that
no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that
it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement
by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

 

(h)                                 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(i)                                     Further
Assurances. At the request of any party to another party or parties to this
Agreement, such other party or parties shall execute and deliver such
instruments or documents to evidence or further effectuate (but not to enlarge)
the respective rights and obligations of the parties and to evidence and
effectuate any termination of this Agreement.

 

(j)                                     Specific
Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur
in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance
with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific
performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or
equity without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary
damages.

 

(k)                                  Company
Stop Transfer Agreement. The
Company hereby acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of the Stockholder
Shares contained in Section 5(c) hereof. The Company agrees
not to, and to instruct its transfer agent not to, register the transfer (book-entry
or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any
Stockholder Shares, unless such transfer is made pursuant to and in compliance
with this Agreement.

 

(l)                                     Individual
Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no
Stockholder shall be responsible or liable for the failure of any other
Stockholder to comply with its obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be interpreted as creating a “group” (as such term is defined in the rules promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) among the Stockholders.
