wholly owned subsidiary of Access Beyond ("Newco") with and into Xxxxx in a

Preferred Stock or other shares of capital stock of Xxxxx that may hereafter be
acquired by Shareholder, being referred to herein as the "Subject Shares").

contemplated thereby and by this Market Stand-Off Agreement do not constitute
any liquidation or redemption event applicable to the Subject Shares under the
