Stockholder agrees that such Stockholder will not Transfer any Shares at any
time except in accordance with the following.

                        4.1.1 If such Stockholder shall have received a bona
fide arm's length written offer (a "Bona Fide Offer") that such Stockholder
desires to accept from an independent party unrelated to such Stockholder (the
"Outside Party") for the purchase of any or all of the Shares held by such
Stockholder, such Stockholder (the "Selling Stockholder") shall give a notice in
writing (the "Option Notice") to the other Stockholder (the "Non-selling
Stockholder") setting forth such desire, which notice shall set forth at least
the name and address of the Outside Party and the price and terms of the Bona
Fide Offer and be accompanied by a copy of the Bona Fide Offer.

                        4.1.2 Upon the giving of such Option Notice, the
Non-selling Stockholder shall have an option to purchase all of the Shares
specified in the Option Notice, said option to be exercised within the later of
30 days after the giving of such Option Notice or 15 days after the
determination of the fair market value (as defined below) of the consideration
offered by the Outside Party, if applicable, by giving a counter-notice to the
Selling Stockholder. If the Non-selling Stockholder elects to purchase all of
such Shares, he shall be obligated to purchase, and the Selling Stockholder
shall be obligated to sell, such Shares at the price and terms indicated in the
Bona Fide Offer, except that (A) the closing of the purchase by the Non-selling
Stockholder shall be held on the 45th day after the giving of the Option Notice
(or if such day is not a business day, on the next following business day) at
10:30 a.m., Los Angeles time, at the principal executive office of the Company,
or at such other time and place as may be mutually agreed to by the Non-selling
Stockholder and the Selling Stockholder, and (B) if the consideration offered by
the Outside Party in the Bona Fide Offer consists of property other than cash,
then the Non-selling Stockholder shall pay for the Shares in cash in an amount
equal to the fair market value of such consideration.



<PAGE>   12

                                For purposes of this Section 4.1, the "fair
market value" of any non-cash consideration offered by the Outside Party shall
be determined by mutual agreement of the Stockholders; and if the Stockholders
are unable to so agree, the fair market value shall be determined, prior to the
time for the exercise of the option by the Non-selling Stockholder, by an
independent appraiser experienced in making valuations of such sort who is
mutually agreed upon by the Selling and Non-selling Stockholder, or if the
Stockholders cannot agree within 15 days, by the firm of Houlihan, Lokey, Howard
& Zukin, Inc. ("Houlihan Lokey") if it is then available, or if Houlihan Lokey
is not available by a nationally-recognized firm. Such determination by the
independent appraiser shall be final, binding upon and non-appealable by the
Stockholders. The Stockholders shall share equally the cost and expenses
incurred in connection with the determination made by the independent appraiser.

                        4.1.3 If the Non-selling Stockholder does not elect to
purchase all of the Shares to which the Bona Fide Offer relates as aforesaid,
the Selling Stockholder may, at any time within a period of three months from
the giving of said Option Notice, Transfer all (but not less than all) of the
Shares referred to in the Option Notice to the Outside Party at the price and
upon the terms contained in the Bona Fide Offer; provided, however, that in the
event such Stockholder has not so Transferred such Shares to the Outside Party
within said three-month period, then such Shares thereafter shall continue to be
subject to all of the restrictions contained in this Agreement. Any election by
the Non-selling Stockholder not to exercise his rights of first refusal
hereunder in any instance shall not constitute a waiver of such rights with
respect to any other proposed Transfer of Shares.

        5. Exempt Transfers.

                5.1 General. The provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to
(i) any bona fide underwritten offering of Shares pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act or any bona fide public distribution of
Shares pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder; or (ii) any Transfer by a Stockholder to
any of his Related Transferees.

                5.2 Related Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, a Stockholder may Transfer such Stockholder's Shares
without restriction to such Stockholder's Related Transferees (as defined
herein) provided that each such Related Transferee shall first (i) execute a
written consent in form and substance satisfactory to the other Stockholder to
be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party
hereto and (ii) give a duplicate original of such consent to the other
Stockholder. In the event of any Transfer by a Stockholder to its Related
Transferees of all or any part of such Stockholder's Shares (or in the event of
any subsequent Transfer by any such Related Transferee to another Related
Transferee of such Stockholder), such Related Transferees shall receive and hold
said Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder of the Stockholder from whom such Shares were originally
Transferred as though said Shares were still owned by such Stockholder, and any
Transfer of Shares such Related Transferees shall be deemed to be a Transfer by
such Stockholder for the purposes of this Agreement. There shall be no further
Transfer of Shares by a Related Transferee except between and among such Related
Transferee, the Stockholder to whom such Related Transferee is related and the
other Related Transferees of such Stockholder, or except as permitted by this
Agreement.

        6. Notices. All notices or other communications under this Agreement
shall be given in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received on the
third full business day following the day of the mailing thereof by registered
or certified mail or when delivered personally or sent by facsimile transmission
to the address of such Stockholder as it appears on the signature page hereof or
at such other place as such Stockholder shall have designated by notice as
herein provided to the other Stockholders.

        7. Specific Performance. The parties hereby agree that it will be
difficult to ascertain the amount of damages in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened
breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement by either of
the parties hereto, the other party shall, in addition to all other remedies, be
entitled (without any bond or other security being required) to a temporary
and/or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage or that monetary
damages would not provide an adequate remedy, and/or a decree for specific
performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

        8. Miscellaneous.

                8.1 Entire Agreement. This writing constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not
be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by the Stockholders.
No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in
writing, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or
default of the same or similar nature. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, any modification, waiver or amendment of this
Agreement by a written agreement signed by, or binding upon, any Stockholder
shall be valid and binding upon any and all persons or entities who may, at any
time, have or claim any rights under or pursuant to this Agreement in respect of
Shares held by such Stockholder.

                8.2 Legend. The certificates evidencing the Shares held by the
Stockholders shall be legended concurrently herewith as follows: "The Shares

of October 1, 1995, a copy of which is on file with the Company. Any purported
disposition or encumbrance, of any kind, of any of the Shares evidenced by this
Certificate which is not in accordance with such Agreement shall be void."

                8.3 Binding Upon Successors. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Stockholders and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
construed as granting to any Stockholder the right to Transfer any of Shares
except in accordance with this Agreement and any Transferee shall hold such
Shares subject to the applicable terms of this Agreement.

                8.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only
to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or
unenforceable any other several provision of this



<PAGE>   14

Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if any such invalid or
unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

                8.5 Attorneys' Fees. Should any party to this Agreement commence

duties of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall

attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by reason of such litigation.

                8.6 Section Headings. The section headings contained herein are
for the purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the
contents of said sections.

                8.7 Cooperation. Each party hereto shall cooperate and shall
take such further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents as
may be reasonably requested by any other party in order to carry out the
provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

                8.8 Spousal Consent. Each of the Stockholders represents that
such Stockholder's spouse has signed an Acknowledgement and Agreement of Spouse
relating to such Stockholder in the form attached to this Agreement.

                8.9 Singular and Plural Words. Words in the singular shall be
read and construed as though in the plural and words in the plural shall be read
and construed as though in the singular in all cases where they would so apply.

                8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, all of which taken together shall be deemed one original.

                8.11 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a
contract under the laws of the State of California and for all purposes shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of said state
without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
first date written above.
