* 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, 1999as of 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 Voting
Agreement, effective and conditioned upon consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.
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 stockholder 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 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 1,148,023 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 Eric Stanton (the
"REPORTING PERSON") individually and as settlor and sole trustee of the Eric
Stanton Self Declaration of Revocable Trust dated May 11, 1990, as amended (the
"TRUST") 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 Oversea Toys, (i) 25,000 shares of a new series of preferred
stock of the Company and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional 15,0000 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. Stanton
and the Trust and certain other stockholders of the Company (collectively with
Mr. Stanton and the Trust, 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 as of the Closing under 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 with respect to the
matters covered by the agreement of the Stockholders described in the preceding
sentence and in the manner contemplated by the Voting Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, 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
or 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
-4-
<PAGE> 5
counterpart to such effect. Certain Stockholders (not including Mr. Stanton and
the Trust) are excluded from the requirements of these restrictions in certain
instances.
As permitted by the Voting Agreement, Mr. Stanton and the Trust has
entered into Option Agreements conveying the right to purchase 81,637 shares, in
the aggregate, to the following persons: Richard David, Lauryn Harris, Richard
Lamishaw, Mark Landolt, Stuart Silver and Michael Widman (each Option Agreement
was entered in substantially similar form to the "FORM OF OPTION AGREEMENT");
and Mr. Stanton and the Trust intends to enter into a Stock Assignment
transferring 25,000 shares to Bruce R. Bailey, Esq. (in substantially similar
form to the "FORM OF STOCK ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT").
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, this Voting Agreement will terminate (x)
as to certain Stockholders, including Mr. Stanton, if Allan Brown'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 Mr. Brown) 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, Termination
Agreement, Form of Option Agreement, and the Form of Stock Assignment Agreement
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement,
Termination Agreement, Form of Option Agreement, and the Form of Stock
Assignment Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1,

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 C, 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.
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
<PAGE> 2
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 to 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 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
-2-
<PAGE> 3
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.

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.
SECTION 4.12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement is
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 to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

This Termination Agreement is entered into as of September 1, 1999 by
and among Cyrk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Patrick Brady,
Allan Brown, Gregory Shlopak, Eric Stanton and Eric Stanton Self-Declaration of
Revocable Trust (each a "Stockholder", and collectively the "Stockholders").
Introduction
The Company and the Stockholders are parties to a Shareholders
Agreement, dated June 9, 1997, as amended on July 21, 1997, and attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Shareholders Agreement"). The Company and each of the
Stockholders wish to terminate the Shareholders Agreement in its entirety
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Termination. As of the closing (the "Closing") of the
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.
Section 3. Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard
to its choice of law principles.
Section 4. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, and counterparts by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Exhibit 99.3
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the "OPTION AGREEMENT") is made and entered
into as of August 31, 1999, by and between the ERIC STANTON SELF-DECLARATION OF
RECOVABLE TRUST DATED MAY 11, 1990, AS AMENDED (the "STANTON TRUST"), and
("OPTIONEE"). The Stanton Trust has granted Optionee this option ("OPTION") to
purchase a total of shares of the COMMON STOCK of CYRK, INC., $.01 par value per
share (the "SHARES" of the "COMPANY"), at the price determined as provided
herein. The Stanton Trust has determined that it is to its advantage and best
interest to grant this Option to Optionee.
1. EXERCISE PRICE.
The exercise price is $1.00 for each SHARE.
2. VESTING AND EXERCISABILITY.
This Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows:
2.1 RIGHT TO EXERCISE.
2.1.1 This Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part,
commencing on the date thirty (30) days following the date of the
execution of this Option Agreement. If exercised in part, the balance of
this Option shall be exercisable at any time thereafter.
2.1.2 This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.
2.1.3 In no event may this Option be exercised after the date of
expiration of the term of this Option as set forth in Section 7 below.
2.2 METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Option shall be exercisable by
written notice in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A which shall
state the election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares in
respect of which this Option is being exercised, and such other
representations and agreements as to Optionee's investment intent with
respect to such Shares as may be required by the Stanton Trust. Such
written notice shall be signed by Optionee (or by Optionee's beneficiary
or other person entitled to exercise this Option in the event of
Optionee's death under Section 8 of this Option Agreement) and shall be
delivered in person or by certified mail to the Stanton Trust. The
written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price.
This Option shall be deemed exercised upon receipt by the Stanton Trust
of such written notice accompanied by the exercise price.
No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless
and until there shall have been full compliance with all applicable requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (whether by registration or
satisfaction of exemption conditions), all applicable laws, and all applicable
listing requirements of any national securities exchange or other market system
on which shares of the same class are then listed.
<PAGE> 2
3. OPTIONEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.
In the event the Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of this
Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at
the time this Option is exercised, the certificate for the Shares shall bear
appropriate legends.
4. METHOD OF PAYMENT.
Payment of the exercise price shall be in full at the time of exercise
in cash or by check payable to the order of the Stanton Trust.
5. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.
This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon
such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would
constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or of any
applicable law. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Stanton Trust
may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Stanton
Trust as may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Stanton Trust,
to comply with any Applicable Law.
6. ADJUSTMENT FOR REORGANIZATIONS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC.
If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company are
increased, decreased, changed into, or exchanged for a different number or kind
of shares or securities of the Company or a successor entity, or for other
property (including, without limitation, cash) through reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock
split, spin off, or other similar transaction, an appropriate and proportionate
adjustment shall be made in the maximum number and kind of shares covered by the
Option. Such adjustment will be made by the Stanton Trust, whose determination
in that respect will be final, binding, and conclusive.
7. TERM OF OPTION.
This Option may not be exercised more than two (2) years from the date
of grant of this Option, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with terms of this Option.
-2-
<PAGE> 3
8. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.
8.1 NO TRANSFER.
This Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee.
8.2 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.
The Optionee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to
receive any Options that remain unexercised in the event of the Optionee's
death. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the
spouse, spousal consent will be required for the designation to be effective.
The Optionee may change such designation of beneficiary at any time by written
notice to the Administrator, subject to the above spousal consent requirement.
8.3 EFFECT OF NO DESIGNATION.
If the Optionee dies and there is no beneficiary, validly designated
under Section 8.2 and living at the time of the Optionee's death, the Stanton
Trust will deliver such Options to the executor or administrator of his or her
estate, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the
knowledge of the Stanton Trust), the Stanton Trust, in its discretion, may
deliver such Options to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives
of the Optionee, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Stanton
Trust, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
8.4 DEATH OF SPOUSE OR DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE.
If the Optionee designates his or her spouse as beneficiary under
Section 8.2, that designation will be deemed automatically revoked if the
Optionee's marriage is later dissolved. Similarly, any designation of a
beneficiary under Section 8.2 will be deemed automatically revoked upon the
death of the beneficiary if the beneficiary predeceases the Optionee. Without
limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the interest in Options of a
spouse of an Optionee who has predeceased the Optionee whose marriage has been
dissolved will automatically pass to the Optionee, and will not be transferrable
by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse's will,
nor will any such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession.
9. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY
IN CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
