WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Reorganization Agreement, a copy of which has
been furnished to the Stockholder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements and covenants set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the
stockholders of iPrint, the Stockholder shall cause the Shares (as defined

proposal for any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization or
other business combination involving iPrint (other than the Combination) (any of
the foregoing an "iPrint Acquisition Transaction ") or any other action or
agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or
warranty or any other obligation or agreement of iPrint under the Reorganization
Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to iPrint or Wood's
obligations under the Reorganization Agreement not being fulfilled; and (iii) in
favor of any other matter relating to consummation of the transactions provided
for by the Reorganization Agreement.
"Shares" shall mean: (i) all securities of iPrint (including all shares of

distribution, or any change, in iPrint Common Stock by reason of any stock
dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the
like, the term "Shares" shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares as
well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which
or for which any or all of the Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are

officer of iPrint.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder agrees
to execute and deliver to Wood a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
