RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx is the record owner of 100,000 shares (the
"Shares") of the Common Stock of the Company; and
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate an orderly market for the Common
Stock of the Company, the undersigned desire to enter into this Agreement and
restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or
alienation of the Common Stock, all on the terms set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx xxx transfer its shares of Common Stock to its affiliates, partners in
a partnership, subsidiaries and trusts, spouses or lineal descendants for
estate planning purposes provided that the transferee (or the legal
representative of the transferee) executes an agreement to be bound by all of
the terms of this Agreement.
2. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx xxx only sell Shares subject to the following
conditions:
2.1. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx shall be allowed to sell Shares in
blocks of 5,000 Shares or less per transaction.
2.2. The Shares may only be sold at the "offer" or "ask"
price stated by the relevant market maker. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx agrees that it will
not sell Shares at the "bid" price.
2.3. After Xxxxx Xxxxxxx xxxxx 5,000 Shares, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx

The sale of the next 5,000 Shares, however, may take place at a price less
than the prior sale price plus .25 basis points. (For example, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
xxxxx 5,000 Shares at a price of $10 1/2. If the "ask" price then increases
to $10 3/4, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx xxx sell an additional 5,000 Shares and such sale

2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after Xxxxx Xxxxxxx

xxx, on one occasion only, sell an additional 5,000 Shares at that price.
2.5. The Shares may not be sold at a price below $1.00 per
share.
2.6. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx shall be allowed to sell up to fifteen
(15%) percent of its Shares held as of the date hereof during each three month
period; provided, however, that in the event Xxxxx Xxxxxxx does not sell its
full 15% during any three-month period, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx xxx sell the difference
between 15% of the Shares held as of the date hereof and the Shares actually
sold during such three-month period in the next successive three-month period.
2.7. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx agrees that it will not engage in any
short selling of the Shares.
3. All 100,000 of the Shares owned as outlined herein shall be
included in the next registration statement to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement") of Wizzard for the
benefit of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, at no cost to them.
4. Upon the effective date of the Registration Statement (the

provided herein, and these resale limitations shall continue with respect to
all shares for a period of twelve months from the Effective Date.
5. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx agrees that all of its Shares are covered by
all of the restrictions hereunder, whether such Shares are owned on the date
hereof or are hereafter acquired (whether by issuance, transfer, upon exercise
of any warrants or options currently held by Xxxxx Xxxxxxx or otherwise).
6. This Agreement shall terminate twelve months from the
Effective Date, and thereafter all provisions contained herein shall cease and
be of no further force or effect.
7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
the Company may, at any time and from time to time, waive any of the
conditions or restrictions contained herein to increase the liquidity of the
Common Stock or if such waiver would otherwise be in the best interests of the
development of the trading market for the Common Stock.
8. In the event of a tender offer to purchase all or
substantially all of the Company's issued and outstanding securities, or a
merger, consolidation or other reorganization with or into an unaffiliated
entity, this Agreement shall terminate and the Shares restricted pursuant
hereto shall be released from such restrictions if the requisite number of the
record and beneficial owners of the Company's securities then outstanding are
voted in favor of such tender offer, merger, consolidation or reorganization.
9. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other
agreements between the parties, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to its
respective beneficial rights of ownership of the Shares, including the right
to vote the Shares for any and all purposes.
10. The Shares and per share price restrictions covered by this
Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted should the Company make a dividend
or distribution, undergo a forward split or a reverse split or otherwise
reclassify its shares of Common Stock.
11. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
with the same force and effect as if all parties had executed the same
document.
12. All notices, instructions or other communications required
or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing
and delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight delivery
or hand-delivered to all parties to this Agreement at the addresses set forth
above. All notices shall be deemed to be given on the same day if delivered

13. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be
