parties agree as follows:
1. CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK. DOCLLC is the beneficial owner of all of the
outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock. DOCLLC agrees that immediately

A Preferred Stock which it beneficially owns to DCC. Upon receipt of the Class
A Preferred Stock, DCC shall cancel and retire all outstanding shares of its
Class A Preferred Stock.
2. CLASS D PREFERRED STOCK. Each holder of outstanding shares of Class D

share of Class D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Old Class A
Common Stock and one share of DCC's Class E Preferred Stock, subject to
appropriate anti-dilution adjustment as provided in the Certificate of
Designation. Each such holder agrees that immediately prior to the Effective
Time (defined below) it will convert each such share of Class D Preferred Stock
into shares of Old Class A Common Stock and Class E Preferred Stock, as provided
in the Certificate of Designation. Each such holder's execution of this
Agreement constitutes the irrevocable election by the holder to convert each
share of Class D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder into one
share of Class E Preferred Stock and one share of Old Class A Common Stock,
subject to appropriate anti-dilution adjustment as provided in the Certificate
of Designation to be effective and operative immediately prior to the Effective
Time.
3. AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION. DCC agrees to amend and
restate its Certificate of Incorporation (the "New Certificate of
Incorporation") so that DCC will be authorized to issue an aggregate of

shares of New Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares representing a
111.44 to 1 stock split for each share (the "Class A Conversion Factor"), and
each certificate then outstanding stating on its face that it represents shares
of Old Class A Common Stock existing prior to the Effective Time, shall
automatically represent, from and after the Effective Time, a number of shares
of New Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares on the face of the
certificate of Old Class A Common Stock existing prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by the Class A Conversion Factor; (b) each share of Old Class B
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the
