-------
any proxy or power of attorney to any person that permits the holder thereof to
vote in his discretion on any matter that may be submitted to the Company's
stockholders for their consideration and approval, unless such proxy or power of
attorney is made subject to and is exercised in conformity with the provisions
of this Voting Agreement.
1.3 General Voting. Each of Billing, Xxxxxxxxxxxx and the Partnership
--------------
agrees to vote his or its respective shares of capital stock of the Company in
such a manner as to carry out and enforce the terms and intent of this Voting
Agreement.
1.4 Transfer of Stock. Xxxxxxxxxxxx and the Partnership agree that if
-----------------
they sell or transfer capital stock of the Company in any transfer other than a
registered public offering, or a sale under Rule 144, promulgated under the
