Such Stockholder has the power to cause such shares of Voting Stock to be voted as provided in Section 2 hereof and the power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the shares of Voting Stock listed opposite its name on the signature pages attached hereto with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights (subject to applicable securities laws). (ii) Power; Binding Agreement. Such Stockholder has the legal capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform all - --------------------------------- of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which it is settlor or trustee or any other person whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby. (iii) No Conflicts; No Prior Proxy. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, the consummation by it of - ------------------------------------- the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by it with any of the provisions hereof will (i) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any declaration of trust, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, security or pledge agreement, voting agreement, stockholders' agreement or voting trust, license, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, statute, rule or regulation applicable to it or any of its properties or assets; and which would, in either case, prevent or impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each of the Stockholders has not previously granted, nor will any Stockholder so grant, during the term of this Agreement, any other proxy in respect of the matters set forth in Section 2 above or enter into any other agreement with respect to the Voting Stock that would violate the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement. (b) Representations and Warranties of Perlmutter. Perlmutter hereby represents and warrants to the Company that none of the information supplied by Perlmutter in writing for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will, at the time that it or and amendment or supplement thereto is mailed to the Company's stockholders, at the time of the Stockholders' Meeting, or at the time of the Warrant Issuance or Stock Issuance, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Whippoorwill shall be permitted to offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to or consent to the offer for sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any or all of its Controlled Voting Stock to sophisticated investors organized under, resident or located in the United States that agree to be bound as a Stockholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6. Termination. The covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2, 5 and 7 hereof shall terminate automatically and without any further action on the part of the Company or any of the Stockholders upon the earlier of the following: (i) the date of the conclusion of the Stockholder's Meeting, or (ii) March 31, 2002.

Section 14. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Each Stockholder therefore agrees that in the event of any such breach the other parties shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity, and without the necessity of the posting of any bond or other security. Section 16. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party. Section 17. No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not be - ---------------------------------------------- enforceable by, any Person who or which is not a party hereto. Section 19.
