RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
dated as of September 17, 2000 by and among Parent, Wisdom Merger Sub, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("MERGER SUB"), and
Company (such agreement as it may be amended is hereinafter referred to as the
"MERGER AGREEMENT"), Parent has agreed to acquire the outstanding securities of
Company pursuant to a merger of Merger Sub with and into Company in which
outstanding shares of capital stock of Company will be converted into shares of
common stock of Parent as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the "TRANSACTION");
WHEREAS, in order to induce Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and
consummate the Transaction, Parent has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to
cause certain stockholders of Parent to execute and deliver to Company a Voting
Agreement upon the terms set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, each Stockholder is or may become the owner of shares of capital
stock of Parent (the "SHARES").
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Retain Shares.
1.1. Transfer and Encumbrance. Each Stockholder represents and warrants to
Company that (i) such Stockholder is a record or beneficial owner of the Shares
with power to vote the Shares or cause the Shares to be voted; (ii) the Shares
set forth on the signature page hereto constitute such Stockholder's entire
interest in the outstanding capital stock and voting securities of Parent other
than Shares that are held by others and are subject to similar voting agreements
or shares that are subject to employee stock options; and (iii) such
Stockholder's address is accurately set forth on the signature page hereto.
1.2. New Shares. Each Stockholder agrees that any shares of capital stock
or voting securities of Parent ("NEW SHARES") that such Stockholder purchases or
with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after
the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (as hereinafter
defined) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the
same extent as if they constituted Shares. As used herein, the term
<PAGE>
"EXPIRATION DATE" shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time or
(ii) termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.
2. Agreement to Vote Shares and Take Certain Other Action. Prior to the
Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of Parent at which any of
the following matters is considered or voted upon, and at every adjournment or
postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the
stockholders of Parent with respect to any of the following matters, each
Stockholder shall vote, or, using such Stockholder's best efforts, and to the
full extent legally permitted, cause the holder of record to vote the Shares and
any New Shares (except those Shares or New Shares which are not voting
securities), in favor of adoption of the Articles Amendment, the Share Issuance
and the Domestication of Parent and any proposal or action presented to a
stockholder vote which would, or could reasonably be expected to, facilitate the
Merger.
Prior to the Expiration Date, each Stockholder, as the holder of voting
stock of Parent, shall be present, in person or by proxy, or, using such
Stockholder's best efforts and to the full extent legally permitted, attempt to
cause the holder of record to be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings
of stockholders of Parent at which any matter referred to in this Section 2 is
to be voted upon so that all Shares and New Shares are counted for the purposes
of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or
restrict any Stockholder from (i) acting in his or her capacity as a director or
officer of Parent, to the extent applicable, it being understood that this
Agreement shall apply to each Stockholder solely in his or her capacity as a
stockholder of Parent or (ii) voting in his or her sole discretion on any matter
other than those matters referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 2.
3. Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby agrees to timely deliver to
Company a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the
"PROXY"), such Proxy to cover the issued and outstanding Shares and all issued
and outstanding New Shares in respect of which such Stockholder is the record
holder and is entitled to vote at each meeting of the stockholders of Parent
(including, without limitation, each written consent in lieu of a meeting) prior
to the Expiration Date. In the event that any Stockholder is unable to provide
any such Proxy in a timely manner, such Stockholder hereby grants Company a
power of attorney to execute and deliver such Proxy for and on behalf of such
Stockholder, such power of attorney, which being coupled with an interest, shall
survive any death, disability, bankruptcy, or any other such impediment of such
Stockholder. Upon the execution of this Agreement by each Stockholder, such
Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given
by such Stockholder with respect to voting of the Shares on the matters referred
to in Section 2 and agrees not to grant any subsequent proxies or powers of
attorney with respect to the voting of the Shares on the matters referred to in
Section 2 until after the Expiration Date.
4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Stockholder. Each
Stockholder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Company as follows:
(a) Such Stockholder has full power and legal capacity to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This
Agreement has been duly and
2
<PAGE>
validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) the effect of
bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws
affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) the rules
governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance of such
Stockholder's obligations hereunder will not, result in any breach of or
constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any right to terminate, amend,
accelerate or cancel any right or obligation under, or result in the creation of
any lien or encumbrance on any Shares or New Shares pursuant to, any note, bond,
mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or
other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which
such Stockholder or the Shares or New Shares are or will be bound or affected.
(b) Each Stockholder has read Section 6.05 of the Merger Agreement and
understands the Parent's restrictions thereunder.
(c) Each Stockholder agrees not to transfer, sell, exchange, pledge or
otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Shares, or make any offer or
agreement relating thereto, at any time prior to the Expiration Date other than
to a transferee that agrees to be bound by the terms of this voting agreement
and the proxy attached hereto. Each Stockholder understands and agrees that if
such Stockholder attempts to transfer, vote or provide any other person with the
authority to vote any of the Shares other than in compliance with this
Agreement, Parent shall not, and each Stockholder hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably instructs Parent to not, permit any such transfer on its books and
records, issue a new certificate representing any of the Shares or record such
vote unless and until such Stockholder shall have complied with the terms of
this Agreement.
5. Additional Documents. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees to
execute and deliver any additional documents necessary or desirable, in the
reasonable opinion of Company, to carry out the purpose and intent of this
Agreement.
6. Consent and Waiver. Each Stockholder hereby gives any consents or
waivers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Transaction
under the terms of any agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or
pursuant to any rights such Stockholder may have provided, however, that such
Stockholder shall not be required by this Section 6 to give any consent or
waiver in his capacity as a director or officer of Parent.
7. Termination. This Agreement and the Proxy delivered in connection
herewith and all obligations of each Stockholder hereunder and thereunder, shall
terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the Expiration Date.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, then
3
<PAGE>
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated.
8.2. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement and all of the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by either
of the parties without the prior written consent of the other. This Agreement is
intended to bind each Stockholder solely as a securityholder of Parent only with
respect to the specific matters set forth herein.

amended, altered or supplemented except by the execution and delivery of a
written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
8.4. Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto
acknowledge that Company will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no
adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of
each Stockholder set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to
any other remedies that may be available to Company upon any such violation,
Company shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by
specific performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to
Company at law or in equity and each Stockholder hereby waives any and all
defenses which could exist in its favor in connection with such enforcement and
waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection
with such enforcement.
