hereto (each a "Shareholder", and, collectively, the "Shareholders").
WHEREAS, Parent, Sub and Holopak Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger of even date herewith (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the
"Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of the Company with and into Sub
(the "Merger");
WHEREAS, defined terms used herein and not elsewhere defined shall have
the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS, each Shareholder is the owner of the number of shares of
Company Common Stock set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on Schedule A
hereto; such shares of Company Common Stock, as such shares may be adjusted by
stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of
shares, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other change or transaction of
or by the Company, together with shares of Company Common Stock that may be

herein as the "Shares"; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger
Agreement, Parent and Sub have requested that the Shareholders enter into this
Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Parent and Sub to enter in to, and in
consideration of their entering into, the Merger Agreement, and in consideration
of the premises and the representations, warranties and agreements contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholders. Each Shareholder
hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent and Sub as
follows:
(a) Authority. The Shareholder has all requisite power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by the Shareholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Shareholder and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the Parent and Sub, constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Shareholder enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by general equitable
principles and bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws

Securities and
Exchange Commission and as set forth in Section 6.21 of the Holopak Disclosure
Memorandum, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by
the Shareholder nor the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby will (i) require any filing with, or permit, authorization,
consent or approval of, any federal, state or local government or any court,
tribunal, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or
regulatory authority or agency, domestic or foreign (a "Governmental Entity"),
(ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right of
termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration under, or result in the
creation of any pledge, claim, lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest of
any kind or nature whatsoever (a "Lien") upon any of the properties or assets of
the Shareholder under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, permit, concession, franchise,
contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation (a "Contract") to which
the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of the
Shareholder's properties or assets, including the Shareholder's Shares, may be
bound or (iii) knowingly violate any judgment, order, writ, preliminary or
permanent injunction or decree (an "Order") or any statue, law, ordinance,
regulation of any Governmental Entity (a "Law") applicable to the Shareholder or
any of the Shareholder's properties or assets, including the Shareholder's
Shares.
(b) The Shares. The Shareholder's Shares and the certificates
representing such Shares are now, and at all times during the term hereof will
be, held by such Shareholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of
such Shareholder, and the Shareholder has good and marketable title to such
Shares, free and clear of any Liens, proxies, voting trusts or agreements,
understandings or arrangements, except for any such Liens or proxies arising
hereunder. The Shareholder owns no shares of Company Common Stock other than
such Shareholder's Shares and shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of Company Stock Options.
(c) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other
person is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other
similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Shareholder.

jointly, agrees as follows:

and irrevocably agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect
to the Shares being transferred), (ii) enter into
2
any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement, voting trust, power

contemplated hereby.
(b) Until the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall not, and the Shareholder shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause any of its investment bankers,
financial advisers, attorneys, accountants or other representatives not to,

furnishing information), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any
inquiries or the making of any proposals which constitute, or may reasonably be
expected to lead to, any Acquisition Transaction Proposal involving the Company
or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any such
Acquisition Transaction Proposal. Shareholder shall notify the Parent orally and
in writing of any such proposals or inquiries relating to the purchase or

the receipt thereof. Shareholder shall, and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause its investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys,

with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition
Transaction Proposal relating to the Company other than discussions or
negotiations with the Parent.

Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of shareholders of the
Company called to vote upon the Merger and the Merger Agreement or at any
adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or
other approval (including by written consent) with respect to the Merger and the
Merger Agreement is sought, each Shareholder shall, including by initiating a
written consent solicitation if requested by Parent, vote (or cause to be voted)
such Shareholder's Shares in favor of the Merger, the adoption by the Company of
the Merger Agreement and the approval of the other transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement. During the period commencing on the date hereof and
continuing until the first to occur (i) the Effective Time and (ii) termination
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of shareholders
of the Company or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon

Merger ), consolidation, combination, sale of all or substantially all assets,
reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or
by the Company or any other Acquisition Transaction Proposal (collectively,
"Alternative Transactions") or (ii) any amendment of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation or By-laws or other action involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would reasonably
be expected to delay, postpone impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger,
the Merger Agreement or any of the other transaction contemplated by the Merger
Agreement (collectively, "Frustrating Transactions").
3
(d) The holders of the Class A Common Stock of the Company shall cause
such Class A Common Stock to be converted into shares of Company Common Stock

Section 2(b) hereof, any person who is a director or officer of the Company may

capacity as a director or officer with respect to the Company as opposed to with
respect to taking action with respect to the direct or indirect ownership of any
Shares, and no such action in furtherance of the exercise of fiduciary duties

in Section 2(b) hereof and the Shareholders shall not have any liability
hereunder for any such action in furtherance of the exercise of fiduciary duties
by such person in his capacity as a director or officer of the Company.
4. Further Assurances. Each Shareholder will, from time to time,
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or
further transfers, assignments, endorsements, consents and other instruments as
Parent or Sub may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to vest the power to vote
such Shareholder's Shares as contemplated by Section 3. Parent and Sub jointly
and severally agree to use reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be
imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including legal requirements of the HSR Act, if any).
5. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests
or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties without the
prior written consent of the other parties, except that Sub may assign, in its

to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors
and assigns. Each Shareholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations of
such Shareholder hereunder shall attach to such Shareholder's Shares and shall

successors.
6. Termination. This Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder, shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) the date upon which
