"Stockholder").
RECITALS
A. Simultaneously herewith, Parent and Purchaser are entering into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time
to time, the "Merger Agreement"), with Engineering Animation, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), which contemplates, among other things, that
Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the "Offer") for all of the outstanding

contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Merger").
B. As of the date hereof, each Stockholder owns (either beneficially or
of record) the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite such
Stockholder's name on Exhibit A hereto (all such shares owned by the
Stockholders and any shares of Company Common Stock hereafter acquired by any
Stockholder prior to the termination of this Agreement, the "Shares").
C. As a condition to the willingness of Parent and Purchaser to enter
into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser have requested that each
Stockholder agree, and in order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the
Merger Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed, severally and not jointly, to
enter into this Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, at any meeting of the stockholders
of the Company, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the
holders of shares of Company Common Stock, each such Stockholder shall vote his
or her Shares (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement,

2
Merger Agreement and this Agreement and any other actions required in
furtherance thereof and hereof and (b) against any Company Takeover Proposal and
any actions in furtherance thereof.
Section 1.2. Irrevocable Proxy

Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and J. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, and each or any of them, as his
or her attorney and proxy pursuant to the provisions of Section 212(c) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), with full power of substitution, to
vote and otherwise act (by written consent or otherwise) with respect to the
Shares which such Stockholder is entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders
of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or
postponed meeting) or consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise, on, and
only on, the matters described in Section 1.1 hereof and to execute and deliver
any and all consents, instruments or other agreements or documents in order to
take any and all such actions in connection with or in furtherance of the
obligations of such Stockholder set forth in this Agreement and each of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. THIS PROXY

AN INTEREST. Each Stockholder hereby revokes all other proxies and powers of
attorney with respect to such Stockholder's Shares that it may have heretofore

Stockholder and any obligation of such Stockholder under this Agreement shall be
binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of such
Stockholder.

such Stockholder will validly tender, or cause to be validly tendered, all of
the Shares then beneficially owned by such Stockholder to Purchaser as soon as
practicable (and in any event within five business days) after the commencement
of the Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer. Each
Stockholder further agrees that it will not withdraw such tendered Shares unless
the Offer is terminated by Purchaser. Each Stockholder will be entitled, upon
consummation of the Offer, subject to and in accordance with the Offer's terms
and conditions, to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price with respect to
the tendered Shares. Each Stockholder hereby agrees to permit Purchaser to

and schedules filed with the SEC), their respective identity and ownership of
Company Common Stock and the nature of their respective commitments,
arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.

any Governmental Authority to which such Stockholder is or its assets are
subject that could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of such
Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder.
(e) Each Stockholder owns beneficially and of record the shares of
Company Common Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder's name on Exhibit A

This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not
be enforceable by, any person or entity not a party hereto.
Section 6.8 Specific Performance
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that a breach by it of any

breach the aggrieved party shall be entitled to the remedy of specific
performance of such agreement and injunctive and other equitable relief in
addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
Section 6.9 Remedies Cumulative
All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or

by such party.
Section 6.10 No Waiver
The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy
provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or
in equity, or to insist upon strict compliance by any other party hereto with
its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance
with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights
to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such
compliance.
Section 6.11 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of

suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, and agrees that
any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought only in such court (and
waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or any other objection to
venue therein); provided,

purposes.

EACH OF PARENT, PURCHASER AND THE STOCKHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, PURCHASER OR THE STOCKHOLDER IN THE
NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
