AGREEMENTS
In consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, benefits and

the 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 prior to the Effective Time (defined below) it will distribute
all of the Class 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 Preferred Stock represents that it is the beneficial owner of shares
of Class D Preferred Stock. Each such holder acknowledges that pursuant to
the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Relative and Other Special
Rights, and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions of Class D Preferred
Stock, each 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

Incorporation") so that DCC will be authorized to issue an aggregate of

number 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

of Old Class B Common Stock existing prior to the Effective Time, shall
