* Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement described in Item 4 of the
Schedule 13D, a copy of which is filed with the Schedule 13D, certain
shareholders of the Company are required, in specified circumstances,
to vote all of the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by each
such shareholder in favor of the Reporting Person's election to the
Board of Directors of the Company. Accordingly, the Reporting Person
may be deemed to be part of a "group" with such shareholders and have
voting power over 4,869,046 shares of Common Stock (or approximately
30.9% of the Company's Common Stock, based on the number of shares of
Common Stock reported as being outstanding in the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 1999). See Item 4
of the Schedule 13D. The parties to the Shareholders Agreement have
entered into a Termination Agreement (described in Item 6 below)
pursuant to which the parties have agreed to terminate the Shareholders
Agreement, effective and conditioned upon consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement
(described in Item 6 below).
In addition, pursuant to the Voting Agreement described in Item 6
below, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1, certain
shareholders of the Company, including the Reporting Person, are
required, in specified circumstances, to vote all of the shares of the
Company's Common Stock held by each such shareholder in favor of the
Securities Purchase Agreement (described in Item 6 below) and the
designees of Overseas Toys for election to the Board of Directors of
the Company. Accordingly, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a
"group" with such shareholders, although the Reporting Person does not
control the voting of the shares of Common Stock owned by the other
shareholders. In addition, disposition of certain of the shares of
Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person is restricted under certain
circumstances by the Voting Agreement. Accordingly, Overseas Toys may
be deemed to have shared dispositive power over the shares of Common
Stock owned by the Reporting Person.
The Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any
shares of Common Stock except the 1,277,400 shares with respect to
which he possesses sole or shared dispositive power.

This Statement relates to the Schedule 13D (as amended and restated by
Amendment No. 1 thereto, the "SCHEDULE 13D") filed by Gregory P. Shlopak with
regard to beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"COMMON STOCK"), of Cyrk, Inc. (the "COMPANY") and constitutes Amendment No. 2
thereto. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth
in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF ISSUER
Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following:
VOTING AGREEMENT. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as
of September 1, 1999 (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), between the Company
and Overseas Toys, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("OVERSEAS TOYS"),
Overseas Toys has agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company has
agreed to sell to Overseas Toys, (i) 25,000 shares of a new series of preferred
stock of the Company and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional 15,000 shares
of a new series of preferred stock of the Company, subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions, including approval of the Securities Purchase Agreement
by the Company's stockholders. As an inducement for Overseas Toys to enter into
the Securities Purchase Agreement, a Voting Agreement, dated as of September 1,
1999 (the "VOTING AGREEMENT"), was entered into among Overseas Toys, Mr. Shlopak
and certain other stockholders of the Company (collectively with Mr. Shlopak,
the "STOCKHOLDERS").
Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, each Stockholder
irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock that
such Stockholder is entitled to vote in favor of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, and against any action
which would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of certain conditions
to the consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Each Stockholder also
irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock that
such Stockholder is entitled to vote in favor of the designees of Overseas Toys
nominated by the Company (or which Overseas Toys is entitled to have nominated
by the Company) for election as directors at any meeting of the Company's
stockholders called for such purpose. Each Stockholder also granted a proxy,
effective upon the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement, appointing
Overseas Toys as the Stockholder's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power
of substitution, for and in the Stockholder's name, to vote, express, consent or
dissent, or otherwise to utilize such voting power solely in the manner
contemplated by the Voting Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, (i) each Stockholder
also agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock held
by such Stockholder prior to the vote to approve the Securities Purchase
Agreement and (ii) each Stockholder other than Mr. Shlopak agreed not to sell or
otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder prior
to the Company's 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (but in no event later than
December 31, 2001). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder may sell shares
of Common Stock so long as the recipient agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Voting Agreement and executes a counterpart to such effect. In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Shlopak (but not the other Stockholders) may
sell up to
-4-
<PAGE> 5
30% of his shares of Common Stock between the date of the Voting Agreement and
the date of the shareholder vote on approval of the Securities Purchase
Agreement (provided that such vote occurs on or prior to the termination of the
Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms; if such vote has not
occurred prior to such termination, Mr. Shlopak will thereafter be able to sell
his shares of Common Stock without limitation). Certain Stockholders (not
including Mr. Shlopak) are excluded from the requirements of these restrictions
in certain instances.
The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i)
the termination of the Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with its
terms, (ii) Overseas Toys ceasing to have the right to designate three nominees
to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, or
(iii) September 1, 2019. In addition, the Voting Agreement will terminate (x) as
to a certain Stockholder (not Mr. Shlopak) if such Stockholder's employment with
the Company is terminated by the Company without cause (as such term is defined
in the employment agreement between the Company and such Stockholder) and (y) as
to any Stockholder at such time as such Stockholder ceases to beneficially own
any Shares (other than as a result of a disposition of such Shares in violation
of the Voting Agreement).
TERMINATION AGREEMENT. In connection with the execution and delivery of
the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Voting Agreement, the parties to the
Shareholders Agreement entered into a Termination Agreement, dated as of
September 1, 1999 (the "TERMINATION AGREEMENT"), which terminates the
Shareholders Agreement, effective upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. If the transactions
contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement are not consummated, the
Shareholders Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
The foregoing descriptions of the Voting Agreement and Termination
Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement
and Termination Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1
and 99.2, respectively.

Exhibit 99.1
VOTING AGREEMENT
VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of September 1, 1999 among Overseas Toys,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("BUYER"), and each other person set forth
on the signature page hereof (the "STOCKHOLDERS").
WHEREAS, in order to induce Buyer to enter into the Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
with Cyrk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), Buyer has requested the
Stockholders, and each Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement with
respect to shares of common stock ("COMMON STOCK") of the Company that each
Stockholder beneficially owns, whether now or hereafter acquired (the "SHARES").
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
GRANT OF PROXY; VOTING AGREEMENT; TRANSFER
SECTION 1.1. Agreement to Vote for Securities Purchase Agreement. Each
Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to vote all Shares
that such Stockholder is entitled to vote, at the time of any vote to approve
the Securities Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at
any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and at any adjournment thereof,
at which the Securities Purchase Agreement (or any amended version thereof to
which the Stockholder consents) is submitted for the consideration and vote of
the stockholders of the Company (or in connection with any consent solicitation
conducted for such purpose), in favor of the approval of the Securities Purchase
Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement
and against any action which would reasonably be expected to result in a failure
of the conditions described in Article 6 of the Securities Purchase Agreement to
be satisfied.
SECTION 1.2. Agreement to Vote for Nominees. Each Stockholder hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to vote all Shares that such Stockholder
is entitled to vote and/or to cause such Shares to be voted in favor of the
designees of the Buyer nominated by the Company (or, if the Company fails to
nominate such designees, which the Buyer is entitled to have nominated by the
Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) for election as directors
at any meeting of the Company's stockholders called, or any consent solicitation
conducted, for such purpose.
<PAGE> 2
-2-
SECTION 1.3. Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any and
all previous proxies granted with respect to the Shares that are inconsistent
with the voting agreements set forth in Sections 1.1 and 1.2. By entering into
this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby grants a proxy, effective upon the
Closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement, appointing Buyer as the
Stockholder's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for
and in the Stockholder's name, to vote, express, consent or dissent, or
otherwise to utilize such voting power solely in the manner contemplated by
Section 1.2 above. The proxy granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this
Article 1 is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest and is granted in
consideration of Buyer entering into this Agreement and the Securities Purchase
Agreement and as security for the obligations of such Stockholder under Section
1.2. The proxy granted by each Stockholder shall be revoked upon termination of
this Agreement in accordance with its terms or, with respect to particular
Shares, the sale of such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, each Stockholder will, upon the Buyer's request, take
all action as shall be reasonably required from time to time in order to appoint
the Buyer as its duly authorized proxy holder for the Shares solely for the
purpose set forth in Section 1.2. Such appointment shall be renewed upon the
Buyer's request as appropriate by the Stockholder during the term of this
Agreement in order to ensure that the Buyer remains the duly authorized proxy
holder of the Stockholder at all times during such term solely for the purpose
set forth in Section 1.2.
SECTION 1.4 No Proxies for or Dispositions of Shares. Except pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, a Stockholder shall not, without the prior
written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, (i) grant any proxies or enter
into any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the
voting of any Shares that are inconsistent with the voting agreements set forth
in Sections 1.1 and 1.2, (ii) prior to the vote contemplated by Section 1.1
hereof (provided that such vote occurs on or prior to the termination of the
Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms; it being agreed that
if such vote has not occurred on or prior to such termination, this clause (ii)
shall no longer be effective), sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise
dispose of (collectively "SELL," correlative terms to have correlative
meanings), or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or
understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale of any Shares, or
(iii) prior to the vote to elect directors of the Company at the Company's 2001
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (but in no event later than December 31, 2001),
sell, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding
with respect to the direct or indirect sale of, any of the Shares held by such
Stockholder on the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 1.4(ii) or
(iii) to the contrary, (x) a Stockholder may sell Shares so long as the
<PAGE> 3
-3-
recipient agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and executes a
counterpart to such effect, (y) Gregory P. Shlopak may sell up to thirty percent
(30%) of his Shares between the date hereof and the date of the vote
contemplated by Section 1.1 (provided that such vote occurs on or prior to the
termination of the Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms;
it being agreed that if such vote has not occurred prior to such termination,
Mr. Shlopak shall thereafter be able to sell without limitation his Shares), and
(z) the restriction set forth in Section 1.4(iii) shall not apply to Mr.
Shlopak. Any of Messrs. Brady and Brown and the Eric Stanton Self-Declaration of
Revocable Trust dated May 11, 1990 (the "TRUST") may transfer any right to sell
any Shares pursuant to this Agreement amongst themselves.
SECTION 1.5 Options. The Buyer acknowledges that Mr. Brown and the
Trust have granted options (the "OPTIONS") to purchase an aggregate of 40,818
Shares and 81,637 Shares, respectively, and have agreed to sell an additional
25,000 Shares each, to certain individuals. Any sales of Shares pursuant to
exercise of the Options or such agreements to sell are expressly permitted under
this Agreement and shall be disregarded in determining the number of Shares that
Mr. Brown and the Trust may sell pursuant to Section 1.4.
SECTION 1.6 Record Owner. If a Stockholder is not the record owner of
any Shares as to which such Stockholder is the beneficial owner, such
Stockholder agrees to cause or direct the record holder to vote such Shares in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, to the extent permitted by law,
to provide a proxy to the Buyer with respect thereto.
SECTION 1.7 Opinions.. Each of Mr. Brady, the Cyrk International
Foundation and the Trust shall either (i) provide to the Buyer no later than the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement an
opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel are reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer (and which opinion shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Buyer if it is
substantially in the form the Buyer has accepted from counsel to any other
Stockholder hereunder), or (ii) reimburse the Buyer up to $25,000 for the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs of special counsel engaged by the Buyer
for the purposes of providing such an opinion of counsel with respect to such
Stockholder.

parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer
on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and
assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of
this Agreement, except that that the covenants made by the Stockholders in
Article 1 hereof and Section 4.10 shall inure to the benefit of and be

SECTION 4.8. Severability. If any term, provision or covenant of this

construed and enforced as if such invalid, void or unenforceable provision had

will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the invalid,
void or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of
such invalid, void or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically

as to carry out the intent of the parties hereto to the maximum extent permitted
by law.
SECTION 4.9. Notice of Sales. Until September 1, 2004, each Stockholder
agrees to provide written notice to the Buyer of any sale of Shares by such
Stockholder within thirty days following such sale (or within five business days
following such sale if, to such Stockholder's knowledge, such sale occurs thirty
or fewer days prior to the record date for any meeting of the stockholders of
the Company); provided, however, that any failure to provide such notice shall
not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement. Any public filing that a
Stockholder makes with respect to a sale of Shares shall be deemed to be notice
to the Buyer.
SECTION 4.10. Legend. Each Stockholder agrees that the certificates
representing any of such Stockholder's Shares the sale of which is prohibited by
Section 1.4 may contain a legend to the effect that such Shares are subject to
the terms of this Agreement, which limits the ability of the Stockholder to sell
such Shares. Each Stockholder shall promptly, and in any event within thirty
(30) days, deliver such Stockholder's certificates to the Company for legending
in accordance with this section. The parties agree to cooperate in removing the
legend from any certificate that represents Shares that are no longer subject to
any sale restrictions.
SECTION 4.11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT, ITS EXHIBITS AND THE
DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND
SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL AND WRITTEN, BETWEEN THE
PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement is

transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement between the
Company and Overseas Toys, L.P. (the "INVESTOR"), dated the date hereof (the
"SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), the Shareholders Agreement shall be terminated
in its entirety, and shall be of no further force and effect. For the avoidance
of doubt, Eric Stanton hereby acknowledges and agrees that at the Closing any
right he had to be named to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD")
pursuant to his Consulting Agreement with SMI Merger and the Company, dated May
7, 1997 (the "CONSULTING AGREEMENT"), or otherwise shall be terminated in its
entirety and shall be of no further force and effect. In addition, Eric Stanton
also acknowledges and agrees that he shall not exercise any right to be named to
the Board pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the Consulting Agreement or
otherwise from the date hereof until the termination of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
SECTION 2. CONFLICTS. If there arises any conflict among any provision
of the Shareholders Agreement and/or this Agreement, on the one hand, and any
provision in the Voting Agreement entered into as of the date hereof among the
Stockholders and the Investors (the "VOTING AGREEMENT"), on the other hand, then
such provisions or provisions in the Voting Agreement, as the case may be, shall
prevail.
