Agreement, collectively, the “Owned Shares”); and
WHEREAS, Parent, Subcorp, and PhotoWorks are simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date of this Agreement (as

providing for, among other things, Subcorp to commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares, par value $0.01, of PhotoWorks (the
“Common Shares”), followed by the subsequent merger of Subcorp with and into PhotoWorks
with PhotoWorks surviving the merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement); and
WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Subcorp’s willingness to enter into and
perform their obligations under the Merger Agreement, Parent and Subcorp have required that the
Shareholder agree, and the Shareholder has agreed, (i) to tender in the Offer (and not withdraw)
all of the Shareholders’ Owned Shares, whether upon the exercise of options or warrants, conversion
of convertible securities or otherwise, and any other voting securities of PhotoWorks (whether
acquired prior to or after the execution of this Agreement) that are beneficially owned by the
Shareholder, and (ii) that in the event that a vote of the shareholders of PhotoWorks is required
in furtherance of the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the
Merger, the Shareholder will vote all of the Owned Shares in favor of any such proposal, and (iii)
to take the other actions described in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Shareholder desires to express its support for the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer and the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration
given to each party hereto, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Agreement to Tender and Vote; Irrevocable Proxy.
1.1 Agreement to Tender. (a) The Shareholder agrees that as promptly as practicable
after the commencement of the Offer, and in any event no later than the 10th Business
Day following the commencement of the Offer, the Shareholder shall irrevocably tender into the
Offer all of the Owned Shares owned by the Shareholder on or prior to the 10th Business
Day following the commencement of the Offer, free and clear of all Liens that would prevent
Shareholder from tendering the Shareholder’s shares in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise
complying with the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement. If the Shareholder acquires any
Owned Shares after the 10th Business Day following the commencement of the Offer
(including during any subsequent offering period, if any), the Shareholder shall irrevocably tender
into the Offer such Owned Shares on the date that the Shareholder shall acquire such Owned Shares.
(b) The Shareholder agrees that once the Owned Shares are tendered into the Offer, the
Shareholder shall not withdraw the tender of such Owned Shares unless the Offer shall have been
terminated or shall have expired, or the Merger Agreement has been terminated, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
1.2 Agreement to Vote. The Shareholder hereby agrees that, during the term of this
Agreement, at any meeting of the shareholders of PhotoWorks, however called, or any adjournment or
postponement of such meeting, the Shareholder shall be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or
cause to be voted) all of the Owned Shares (to the extent the Owned Shares are not purchased in the
Offer) (a) in favor of adoption of (1) the Merger Agreement and all the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, and (2) any other matter that is required to
facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and in
connection with the Merger Agreement to execute any documents which are necessary or appropriate in
order to effectuate the foregoing; and (b) against (1) any Takeover Proposal, any agreement or
arrangement related to such Takeover Proposal, (2) any of the following actions (other than those
actions that relate to the Offer, the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement): (A) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets, or reorganization
of PhotoWorks or any PhotoWorks Subsidiary, (B) any sale, lease or transfer of any significant part
of the assets of PhotoWorks or any PhotoWorks Subsidiary, (C) any reorganization, recapitalization,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of PhotoWorks or any PhotoWorks Subsidiary and (D) any

structure of PhotoWorks or any PhotoWorks Subsidiary, and (3) any action or agreement (other than
an adjournment of the PhotoWorks Shareholders Meeting that is recommended by the Board of Directors
of PhotoWorks in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) that would impair the ability
of Parent and the Subcorp to complete the Offer or the Merger, the ability of PhotoWorks to
consummate the Merger, or that would otherwise be inconsistent with, prevent, impede or delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
1.3 Irrevocable Proxy. The Shareholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints,
Parent and any designee of Parent and each of Parent’s officers, as Shareholder’s attorney, agent
and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the
Shareholder’s voting rights with respect to the Owned Shares, to vote all the Owned Shares

action by written consent of the shareholders of PhotoWorks, until the earlier of the acceptance of
Shares pursuant to the Offer or the date of termination of the Merger Agreement, on the matters

SHAREHOLDER MAY TRANSFER ANY SHARES. The Shareholder revokes all other proxies and power of
attorneys, with respect to all of the Owned Shares that may have heretofore been appointed or
granted with respect to any matters covered by Section 1.2, and no subsequent proxy (whether
revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney shall be given by the Shareholder, except as
required by any letter of transmittal in connection with the Offer. The Shareholder agrees to
