Company that the law of the State of Minnesota may permit or require) (i) in
favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any

or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant,
representation or warranty or any other

obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which could
result in any of the conditions to the Company's obligations under the Merger
Agreement not being fulfilled, and (iii) in favor of any other matter relating
to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each
Stockholder further agrees to cause the Shares owned by it beneficially to be
voted in accordance with the foregoing. Each Stockholder acknowledges receipt

     (b) Each Stockholder shall perform such further acts and execute such
further documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to vest in
Cereus the power to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

     (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict a
Stockholder who is also a director of the Company from taking actions in his
capacity as a director as may be permitted under the Merger Agreement.
