and
B. As a condition to Acquiror's execution of the Reorganization Agreement,
the Shareholders have agreed to make certain representations, warranties and
covenants set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH SHAREHOLDERS. As a material
inducement to Acquiror to enter into the Reorganization Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, each of the Shareholders,
severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Acquiror and Target, as of

Agreement, as follows:
1.1 Authority; Power; Binding Effect on Shareholder. Such Shareholder has
the requisite right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to make the representations and warranties of such Shareholder
herein and to perform such Shareholder's obligations hereunder. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Shareholder has been
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Shareholder and no other
proceedings (corporate or other) on the part of such Shareholder are necessary
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and, assuming
the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquiror, constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder enforceable against such
Shareholder in accordance with its terms and conditions.

lien, claim or encumbrance (except as set forth hereto). Except as indicated on
Exhibit "A" attached hereto, such Shareholder holds no options, warrants, calls,
conversion or other rights, or any agreements or commitments of any nature which

Shareholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the common stock of Acquiror ("Acquiror Common Stock") and has had the

(as defined herein), entertain any discussions or negotiations with respect to
an Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any agreement or commitment providing for
or relating to an Acquisition Proposal. With respect to Acquisition Proposals
