THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
as of the 11th day of June, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Venator
Merchant Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Venator") and Mario J.

In consideration of the agreements and mutual covenants set forth
herein, the parties agree as follows:

	1.	Appointment of Proxy Holder.  Venator hereby grants to the Proxy
Holder, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, its proxy, with
full power of substitution, and grants the Proxy Holder complete control over
all rights to vote or consent (including rights to be present or absent for
quorum purposes) with respect to the 200,241 shares (the "Shares") of common
stock of Lynch Corporation (the "Company") that Venator is purchasing from the
Proxy Holder in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated
June 11, 2003.

	2.	Irrevocable Proxy.

(a)	The irrevocable proxy created hereby shall expire on June 30,
2004, and throughout such period the Proxy Holder shall have the
exclusive right to vote the Shares or to give written consents in lieu of
voting thereon, subject to any limitation on the right to vote contained
in the certificate of incorporation of the Company, or other certificate
filed pursuant to law, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of the
stockholders of the Company, and in all proceedings wherein the vote or
written consent of stockholders may be required or authorized by law,
subject to such instructions as are contained in this Agreement.

	(b)	The Proxy Holder may, in his sole and absolute discretion,
terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days notice.

	3.	Dividends.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, at all times Venator shall be entitled to receive payments of
dividends, if any, upon their Shares.  If any dividend in respect of the Shares
is paid, in whole or in part, in stock of the Company having general voting
powers, the Proxy Holder shall likewise have voting power, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, for stock which is received on account of such dividend.

	4.	Dissolution of Company.  In the event of the dissolution or total
or partial liquidation of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary,
Venator shall receive the moneys, securities, rights, or property to which the
holders of the capital stock of the Company are entitled.

	5.	Rights of Proxy Holder.

		(c)	The Proxy Holder shall have the right, subject to the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, to exercise, in person or by his
nominees or proxies, all of Venator's voting rights and powers in respect
of all stock hereunder, and to take part in or consent to any corporate
or stockholders' action of any kind whatsoever.  The right to vote shall
include the right to vote for the election of directors, and in favor of
or against any resolution or proposed action of any character whatsoever,
which may be presented at any meeting or require the consent of
stockholders of the Company.  Without limiting such general right, it is
understood that such action or proceeding may include, upon terms
satisfactory to the Proxy Holder, or to his nominees or proxies thereto
appointed by him, the mortgaging of, creating a security interest in
and/or pledging of all or any part of the property of the Company; the
lease or sale of all or any part of the property of the Company; the

by his nominees or proxies, the Proxy Holder shall exercise his best
judgment to select suitable directors of the Company, and, in voting upon
any matters that may come before him at any stockholders' meeting, the
Proxy Holder shall exercise like judgment.

	6.	Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement prohibited or
unenforceable under any applicable law of any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.  Where,
however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived,
they are hereby waived by the parties hereto to the full extent permitted by
law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforceable as written.

	7.	Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure
to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, representatives, successors and assigns.

	8.	Modification and Amendment.  This Agreement may not be modified or
amended except by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

	9.	Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

	10.	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.

	11.	Pronouns.  Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used
herein shall be deemed also to include the corresponding neuter, masculine or
feminine forms.

	12.	Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall
they affect their meaning, construction or effect.

	13.	Further Assurances.  Each party shall cooperate and take such
action as may be reasonably requested by another party in order to carry out
the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.

	14.	Entire Agreement.  This Agreement represents the entire agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
