$0.01 (the "Common Stock"), to Sun;
WHEREAS, on the date hereof, Sun is entering into an Amended and
Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement" and, together
with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase Agreements") with Catalina,
providing for the Catalina's issuance of certain promissory notes to Sun;
WHEREAS, Shareholder is the holder of record and the beneficial owner
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")) of the number of shares of the capital stock of Catalina
indicated on the signature page of this Agreement (the "Shares"); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to its execution and delivery of the Purchase
Agreements and to induce the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreements
by Sun, Shareholder is willing to agree to vote all shares of Catalina capital

more fully described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that until the earlier
of (i) the date on which Shareholder no longer beneficially owns shares of
capital stock of Catalina and no longer has any options, whether vested or
unvested, to purchase shares of capital stock of Catalina, or (ii) July ___,
2004 (the earliest thereof being hereinafter referred to as the "Termination
Date"), Shareholder shall vote all Shares owned by Shareholder at the time of
such vote, and any other shares of capital stock of Catalina that Shareholder
has the right to vote, whether pursuant to a voting agreement, proxy or
otherwise, at any meeting of the Catalina Shareholders (whether annual or
special and whether or not an adjourned meeting), or, if applicable, take action
by written consent, as directed by Sun. Any such vote shall be cast or consent
shall be given in accordance with such procedures relating thereto as shall
ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is
present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.
Shareholder further agrees that, until the shareholders of Catalina approve an
increase in the authorized capitalization as set forth in Section 5.13 of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Shareholder shall not sell or transfer any of the
Shares.

2. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, Shareholder, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the Purchase Agreements, and in order to secure the performance by
Shareholder of his duties under this Agreement, shall promptly execute, in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Florida 1989 Business
Corporation Act, as amended, and deliver to Sun an irrevocable proxy,
substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (the "Proxy"), and irrevocably
appoint Sun or its designees, with full power of substitution, his attorney and
proxy to vote, or, if applicable, to give consent with respect to, all of the
Shares owned by Shareholder, and any other shares of capital stock of Catalina
that Shareholder has the right to vote in respect of any of the matters set
forth in, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1. Shareholder
acknowledges that the Proxy shall be coupled with an interest, shall constitute,
among other things, an inducement for Sun to enter into the Purchase Agreements,
shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by operation of law upon the
occurrence of any event, including, without limitation, the death or incapacity
of Shareholder. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Proxy, the Proxy
shall terminate upon the Termination Date.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Shareholder.
Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Sun as
follows:
(a) Shareholder (i) as of the date of this Agreement, is the
holder of record and beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of any liens,
claims, options, charges or other encumbrances that would interfere with the
voting of the Shares or the granting of any proxy with respect thereto, (ii) as
of the date of this Agreement, does not beneficially own any shares of capital
stock of Catalina other than the Shares (except to the extent that Shareholder
currently disclaims beneficial ownership in accordance with the Exchange Act)
and (iii) has full power and authority to make, enter into, deliver and carry
out the terms of this Agreement and the Proxy.
(b) Between the date of this Agreement and the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, and will not permit any
entity under Shareholder's control to, deposit any shares of Catalina capital
stock held by Shareholder or such entity in a voting trust or subject any shares
of Catalina capital stock held by such Shareholder or such entity to any
arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital
stock, other than agreements entered into with Sun.
(c) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Shareholder. Neither the execution of this Agreement by
Shareholder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will
violate or result in a breach of (i) any provision of any trust, charter,
partnership agreement or other charter document applicable to Shareholder, (ii)
any agreement to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound,
(iii) any decree, judgment or order to which Shareholder is subject, or (iv) any
law or regulation now in effect applicable to Shareholder.
4. Adjustments; Additional Shares. In the event (a) of any stock
dividend, stock split, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, combination,
exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of Catalina on, of or
affecting the Shares or (b) that Shareholder shall become the beneficial owner
of any additional shares of capital stock or other securities of Catalina
entitling the holder thereof to vote or give consent with respect to the matters
set forth in Section 1, then the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the
shares of capital stock or other instruments or documents held by Shareholder
immediately following the effectiveness of the events described
3
in clause (a) or Shareholder becoming the beneficial owner thereof as described
in clause (b), as though, in either case, they were Shares hereunder.
5. Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein,
this Agreement and the Proxy, and all obligations of Shareholder hereunder and
thereunder, shall terminate upon the Termination Date
6. Legend. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
Shareholder is surrendering to Catalina the certificates representing the
Shares, and is hereby requesting the following legend be placed on the
certificates representing such Shares and shall request such legend remain
thereon until the Termination Date:
"THE SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY __, 2001, BETWEEN
SHAREHOLDER AND SUN CATALINA HOLDINGS, LLC WHICH AGREEMENT SUBJECTS THE
SHARES TO AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE
FLORIDA 1989 BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT, AS AMENDED."
In the event Shareholder shall become the beneficial owner of any
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities (whether by the exercise
of options or otherwise) entitling the holder thereof to vote or give consent
with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1, Shareholder shall, upon
acquiring such beneficial ownership, surrender to Catalina the certificates
representing such shares or securities and request the foregoing legend be
placed on such certificates and remain thereon until the Termination Date.
Shareholder shall provide Sun with satisfactory evidence of his compliance with
this Section 6 on or prior to the date ten (10) business days after the
execution hereof or of the request relating to Shareholder's Proxy, as the case
may be.
7. Specific Performance. Shareholder acknowledges the agreements
contained in this Agreement are an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, and, without these agreements, Sun
would not enter into the Purchase Agreements, and acknowledges damages would be
an inadequate remedy for any breach by him of the provisions of this Agreement.
Accordingly, Shareholder and Sun each agree the obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be specifically enforceable and neither party shall take any
action to impede the other from seeking to enforce such right of specific
performance.
8. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, Consents, approvals or
other communications (collectively, "Notices") required or permitted to be given
hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with
charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, telex or facsimile,
addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have
specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the
date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram,
telex or facsimile. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed
given on the next business day following delivery of such notice to a reputable
air courier service.
