ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. As more fully described in Item 4 below, as of August 4, 1997, each of Roy A. Wright, Donald W. Iwerks, Dag Tellefsen, Meriken Nominees Limited, William J. Battison III and Bruce C. Hinckley (collectively, the "Supporting Stockholders") has entered into separate stockholder support agreements (collectively, the "Stockholder Support Agreements") with Showscan Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Showscan"). The Supporting Stockholders have entered into the Stockholder Support Agreements in order to induce Showscan to enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 4, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Showscan, Iwerks and IWK-1 Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"). ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. On August 4, 1997, Iwerks, Merger Sub and Showscan entered into the Merger Agreement providing for the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into Showscan, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Showscan will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iwerks. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), (a) each share of Common Stock of Showscan which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares then owned by Showscan or any of its subsidiaries and shares of Common Stock then held by Iwerks or any of its subsidiaries) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.85 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Iwerks (the "Iwerks Common Stock") and (b) each share of Showscan's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock") which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares then owned by Showscan or any of its subsidiaries, shares of Preferred Stock then held by Iwerks or any of its subsidiaries and shares of Preferred Stock as to which appraisal rights have been perfected, and not withdrawn or lost, under the Delaware General Corporation Law) will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Iwerks Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Showscan's Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by 0.85. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one share of the surviving corporation's Common Stock. Stockholders of Showscan otherwise entitled to fractional shares of Iwerks Common Stock shall be paid cash in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, at the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant, option, purchase right, subscription or other right or agreement or commitment of any character relating to the issuance of shares of Showscan's Common Stock, Preferred Stock, or any other shares of capital stock of Showscan (including, without limitation, warrants, options or rights that may be issued and outstanding under any stock option plan but excluding Showscan's 8% Convertible Notes due September 1, 1999 (the "8% Notes"), Preferred Stock and the rights set forth in the Rights Agreement by and between Showscan and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company dated as of November 11, 1994, as amended (collectively, the "Showscan Purchase Rights"), whether vested or unvested, shall, subject to the terms of any applicable stock option, warrant agreement or other applicable agreement evidencing the same, remain outstanding following the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the Showscan Purchase Rights shall be assumed by Iwerks in such manner that Iwerks (i) is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424 applied" within the meaning of Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or (ii) to the extent Section 424 of the Code does not apply to any Showscan Purchase Rights, would be such a corporation were Section 424 applicable to such option. In addition, each 8% Note outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, during the period such 8% Note shall be convertible, upon conversion of such 8% Note, in lieu of each share of Showscan's Common Stock deliverable on such conversion immediately prior to the Merger, such number of shares of Iwerks Common Stock which are receivable upon the effectiveness of the Merger by a holder of one share of Showscan's Common Stock. The obligations of the parties to the Merger Agreement to effect the Merger are subject to certain conditions, and prior to the Effective Time, Iwerks or Showscan may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, in each case as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Because approval by Iwerks' stockholders is required in order to issue Iwerks Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Iwerks will submit such issuance to its stockholders for approval. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Supporting Stockholders have entered into the Stockholder Support Agreements. Pursuant to the Stockholder Support Agreements, the Supporting Stockholders have agreed to vote all of their voting securities, currently representing (excluding currently exercisable options) an aggregate of 1,619,001 shares of Iwerks' Common Stock (or 13.3% of the outstanding Common Stock) in favor of the issuance of Iwerks Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and, in connection therewith, have granted an irrevocable proxy to Dennis Pope and W. Tucker Lemon to do the same in their place and stead. Each Stockholder Support Agreement terminates upon any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof or in the event that the Board of Directors of Iwerks shall withdraw or modify in any manner materially adverse to Showscan its approval or recommendation of the Merger Agreement or the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholder Support Agreements, the Supporting Stockholders (except for Donald W. Iwerks with respect to 100,000 shares of Iwerks Common Stock) have agreed, from and after the date of such Stockholder Support Agreements until the earlier of any termination of the Stockholder Support Agreements or the Effective Time, that they will not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of their respective voting securities, (b) deposit any of their respective voting securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of their respective voting securities or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto which is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreements or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any Iwerks Common Stock. If the Merger is completed as planned, at the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors, and the officers of Showscan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the officers, of the surviving corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Showscan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation. The preceding summary of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreements is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements. The Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto, and the Stockholder Support Agreements are filed as Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference. Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement they reserve the right to develop such plans).

On the date of the Closing of the Merger referred to in Section 3, and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company, Parent and Sub agree to cause the Merger to be consummated by executing, delivering and filing with the office of the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Merger (the "Certificate of Merger") in a form approved by the Company and Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such other documents as may be required by the provisions of the Delaware Law and as are necessary to cause the Merger to become effective. The Merger shall become effective when such Certificate of Merger and such other necessary documents are so filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the "Effective Time." Page 6 2.2 CONSTITUENT AND SURVIVING CORPORATIONS. The Company and Sub shall be the constituent corporations in the Merger (collectively, the "Constituent Corporations"). At the Effective Time, Sub shall be merged into the Company in accordance with the Delaware Law and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (in such capacity, the Company is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"). At the Effective Time, the identity and separate existence of Sub shall cease. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority, whether of a public or private nature, and be subject to all restrictions, disabilities and duties, of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all assets and properties of every description, real, personal and mixed, and every interest therein, wherever located, and all debts and other obligations belonging or due to either of the Constituent Corporations on whatever account, as well as stock subscriptions and all other things in action belonging or due to each of the Constituent Corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all property rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority, and all and every other interest, shall be thereafter as effectually the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real estate or interest therein vested in either Constituent Corporation shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of either of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for the debts and other obligations of each of the Constituent Corporations, and any claims existing or action or proceeding pending, by or against either of the Constituent Corporations may be prosecuted to judgment with right of appeal, as if the Merger had not taken place. 2.3 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. 2.4 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. At the Effective Time, the directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors, and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the officers, of the Surviving Corporation, each such director and officer to hold office from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable law. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause each director of the Company and of its Subsidiaries which are corporations to tender his or her resignation prior to the Effective Time, each such resignation to be effective as of the Effective Time. 2.5 CONVERSION OF THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK, COMPANY PREFERRED STOCK AND SUB CAPITAL STOCK. (a) CONVERSION OF THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK, THE COMPANY PREFERRED STOCK AND SUB CAPITAL STOCK. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and Sub capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any treasury shares of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock then owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any shares Page 7 of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock then held by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive the following: (i) each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall entitle the holder thereof to 0.85 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the "Per Share Consideration"); (ii) each share of Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall entitle the holder thereof to that number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by 0.85; (iii) no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof, any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock shall be paid cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of multiplying such fraction by the Average Price; (iv) If more than one certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock shall be surrendered at one time for the account of the same stockholder of record, the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock for which certificates shall be delivered shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock, as the case may be, represented by the certificates so surrendered. All shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock held by the Company at the Effective Time as treasury shares or held by any of the Company's Subsidiaries or by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, "Treasury Shares") shall cease to exist and the certificates for such shares shall, as promptly as practicable thereafter, be canceled and no shares of capital stock of Parent or Sub shall be issued in exchange therefor. (v) each outstanding share of capital stock of Sub (the "Sub Capital Stock") shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, Parent, as the sole holder of the Sub Capital Stock, shall surrender any and all certificates representing such Sub Capital Stock to the Surviving Corporation and shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation into which the Sub Capital Stock theretofore represented by the certificates so surrendered shall have been converted as provided in this Section 2.5(a)(v). From and after the Effective Time, until so surrendered, each certificate theretofore representing shares of issued and outstanding Sub Capital Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence the number of shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation into which such shares of Sub Capital Stock shall have been converted. Page 8 (b) ADJUSTMENT TO THE PER SHARE CONSIDERATION. The Per Share Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock, shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Company Preferred Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Company Preferred Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such changes to the capital stock of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company shall be effected except as permitted by this Agreement. (c) PAYMENT FOR COMPANY COMMON STOCK AND COMPANY PREFERRED STOCK. Parent shall authorize one or more persons reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agents (the "Exchange Agent") hereunder. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, certificates representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares (such cash and certificates, together with any dividends or distributions thereon, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund") into which the shares of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock outstanding at the Effective Time are converted in accordance with Section 2.5.(a) hereof. The Exchange Fund shall include sufficient cash as is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary to account for additional fractional shares as the result of shares which are held in depositary, nominee or book entry form. (d) DELIVERY OF NEW CERTIFICATES. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock (a "Certificate" and collectively the "Certificates") (i) a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (y) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.5(d), after giving effect to any required withholding tax, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash included within the Exchange Fund, payable to holders of Certificates. If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which a certificate for shares of the Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock so surrendered is then registered, such surrender shall be accompanied by payment of any applicable transfer taxes and documents required for a valid transfer. From and after the Effective Time, until so surrendered, each Certificate theretofore representing shares of issued and outstanding Company Common Stock Page 9 and/or Company Preferred Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes, except as provided in Section 2.5(a) with respect to fractional shares and Treasury Shares, and except as set forth below, to evidence the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock shall have been converted. Unless and until any such Certificates shall be so surrendered, the holder of such Certificate shall not have any right to receive any cash amounts included in the Exchange Fund. Upon surrender of a Certificate representing the Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock, the holder of record thereof shall receive a certificate representing the whole shares of Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares to which he shall be entitled, and all dividends and other distributions which shall have been paid or made to holders of record of Parent Common Stock after the Effective Time with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, without interest thereon. All such cash amounts unclaimed at the end of one year from the Effective Time shall be released or repaid by the Exchange Agent to Parent, after which the holders of the shares not receiving such payment shall look, subject to applicable escheat or other laws, only to Parent as general creditors for payment thereof. (e) NO LIABILITY. None of Parent, the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. (f) LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 2.5(d), deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement. 2.6 COMPANY PURCHASE RIGHTS AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES. (a) Each of the Company Purchase Rights, whether vested or unvested, shall, subject to the terms of any applicable stock option, warrant agreement or other applicable agreement evidencing the same, remain outstanding following the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, such Company Purchase Rights shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company, Parent, Sub or the holder of any Company Purchase Right, be assumed by Parent in such manner that Parent (x) is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424 applied" within the meaning of Section 424(a) of the Code or (y) to the extent Section 424 of the Code does not apply to any such Company Purchase Rights, would be such a corporation were Section 424 applicable to such option. In connection with the assumption of the Company Purchase Rights, Parent shall effect such assumption in such manner as not to affect the "incentive stock option" status of those options which are "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code at the Effective Time. From and after the date hereof, no additional Company Purchase Rights shall Page 10 be granted by the Company and no "vesting" or exercise schedule of Company Purchase Rights shall be modified or accelerated (other than pursuant to the express terms of such Company Purchase Right or pursuant to other contractual obligations to modify such "vesting" or exercise schedule as disclosed on the Company Disclosure Letter) and no exercise price of any Company Purchase Right shall be modified without the prior written consent of Parent. (b) Parent agrees that each Convertible Note outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, during the period such Convertible Note shall be convertible, upon conversion of such Convertible Note, in lieu of each share of Company Common Stock deliverable on such conversion immediately prior to the Merger, such number of shares of Parent Common Stock which are receivable upon the effectiveness of the Merger by a holder of one share of Company Common Stock. 2.7 CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS. At and after the Effective Time, transfers of the shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be made on the stock transfer books of the Company. 2.8 RELATED AGREEMENTS. Each of the stockholders identified on SCHEDULE 2.8(A) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the "Company Named Stockholders") have executed and delivered to Parent separate agreements (collectively the "Company Stockholder Support Agreements") pursuant to which they agree to vote the shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, held by them in favor of this Agreement and the Merger at the Stockholders Meeting called for that purpose and have granted an irrevocable proxy to Parent to do the same in their place and stead. Each of the Directors and Officers of Parent identified on SCHEDULE 2.8(B) (the "Parent Named Directors and Officers") have executed and delivered to the Company separate agreements (collectively the "Parent Stockholder Support Agreements") pursuant to which they agree to vote the shares of Parent Common Stock held by them in favor of the issuance of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at the Stockholders Meeting called for that purpose and have granted an irrevocable proxy to the Company to do the same in their place and stead. The Company Stockholder Support Agreements and the Parent Stockholder Support Agreements collectively are referred to herein as the "Stockholder Support Agreements" and are attached hereto on SCHEDULE 2.8(C). 2.9 DISSENTING STOCKHOLDERS. All issued and outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock held by holders of record as of the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting of the stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and shall have delivered (and then have been entitled to deliver) to the Company a written demand for appraisal of their shares of Company Preferred Stock within the time and in the manner provided in Section 262 of the Delaware Law (individually, a "Dissenter," and collectively, the "Dissenters") shall not be converted into Parent Common Stock, but shall be entitled to receive such consideration as shall be provided in Section 262 in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in said Section 262, except that each share of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Dissenter who shall thereafter withdraw his demand for appraisal of his shares of Company Preferred Stock with the Surviving Corporation's consent or lose his right to such payment as provided in Section 262 Page 11 shall be deemed converted, as of the Effective Time, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock, in which event such stockholder shall no longer be a Dissenter. The Company shall deliver to Parent (i) on the first business day following the meeting of stockholders of the Company (or the twenty first (21st) day following notice of written consent), a list of all holders of Company Preferred Stock who have filed written demands for payment of their shares of Company Preferred Stock by the date of such meeting in accordance with said Section 262, and (ii) from time to time, as Parent shall reasonably request, other relevant information with respect to such objections and demands. The Company shall afford to Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands and shall not, prior to the Effective Time, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, settle or offer or agree to settle, any such demands for payment. 2.10 DISSENTER PAYMENT. Each Dissenter who becomes entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware Law, to payment for the shares of Company Preferred Stock held by such Dissenter shall receive the payment therefor provided under Section 262 from the Surviving Corporation, but only up to the amount of such payment as shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to Section 262, and such shares shall thereupon be canceled. 3.

From the date hereof to the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement and the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall allow the duly authorized and appropriate officers, attorneys, accountants and other representatives of the other access at all reasonable times to the records and files, correspondence, audits and properties, as well as to all information relating to commitments, contracts, titles and financial position, or otherwise pertaining to, the business and affairs of the Company and Parent and their respective Subsidiaries. Parent and the Company acknowledge that they are parties to that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated March 6, 1997 (the "Confidentiality Agreement") the terms and conditions of which shall survive the execution of this Agreement and shall continue to be binding on the parties with respect to the inspections referred to in this Section 6.3 of this Agreement. 6.4 STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. Each of the Company and Parent will take all necessary or appropriate action under the Exchange Act, Delaware Law, the Bylaws of the NASD and other applicable Nasdaq rules and their respective Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws to call a meeting of its stockholders, which shall be held at the earliest practicable date following the effective date of the Registration Statement, but in no event later than 45 days following the effective date of the Registration Statement, to consider and vote on a proposal to approve this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will submit the same to its stockholders with a recommendation for approval by the Board of Directors of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and will solicit the approval thereof by such stockholders by mailing or delivering to each of the stockholders a Proxy Statement as provided for below. 6.5 REGISTRATION STATEMENT; PROXY STATEMENT. (a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (i) Parent and the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission (with appropriate requests for confidential treatment) under the Exchange Act a joint proxy statement/prospectus and a form of proxy (such joint proxy statement/prospectus together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, in the form or forms delivered to the stockholders of the Company and the stockholders of Parent, the "Proxy Statement") relating to the meeting of the stockholders of the Company and the vote of the stockholders of the Company with respect to the Merger and the Page 31 meeting of the stockholders of Parent and the vote of the stockholders of Parent with respect to the issuance of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger and (ii) following clearance by the Commission of the Proxy Statement, Parent shall prepare and file with the Commission under the Securities Act a registration statement on Form S-4 (such registration statement, together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the "Registration Statement"), in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock pursuant to the Merger. Parent and the Company will cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of Parent and the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to have or cause the Registration Statement to become effective (including clearing the Proxy Statement with the Commission) as promptly as practicable thereafter, and shall take any and all actions required under any applicable federal or state securities or "Blue Sky" laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts, after consultation with the other such party, to respond promptly to any comments made by the Commission with respect to the Proxy Statement (including each preliminary version thereof) and the Registration Statement (including each amendment thereof and supplement thereto). Each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause its respective representatives to, fully cooperate with the other such party and its respective representatives in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement, and shall, upon request, furnish the other such party with all information concerning it and its Affiliates, directors, officers and stockholders as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement. The Proxy Statement shall include the determination and recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and the determination and recommendation of the Board of Directors of Parent that the stockholders of Parent vote in favor of the approval of the issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company or Parent may withdraw, modify or change such respective recommendation if either such Board of Directors determines in good faith, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that making such recommendations, or the failure to so withdraw, modify or change its recommendation, or the failure to recommend any other offer or proposal, could reasonably be deemed to cause the members of such Board of Directors to breach their fiduciary duties under applicable law. As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement shall have become effective, Parent and the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to their stockholders. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Company and Parent shall each notify the other as promptly as practicable upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance which should be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, and (ii) the Company and Parent shall each notify the other as promptly as practicable after the receipt by it of any written or oral comments of the Commission on, or of any written or oral request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to, the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, and shall promptly supply the Page 32 other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its representatives and the Commission with respect to any of the foregoing filings. (c) The information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement shall not (i) at the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, (ii) at the time the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to holders of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or holders of Parent Common Stock, (iii) at the time of the meeting of the stockholders of the Company or the meeting of the stockholders of Parent and (iv) at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers or directors should be discovered by the Company which should be set forth in an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall promptly inform Parent of such event or circumstance.

If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to Parent or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers or directors should be discovered by Parent which should be set forth in an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, Parent shall promptly inform the Company of such event or circumstance. 6.6 AGREEMENTS BY AFFILIATED STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY.

From and after the Effective Time, (a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, include as part of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provisions relating to the indemnification of all current and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company which are no less favorable than the provisions contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(b) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws and regardless of whether the Merger becomes effective, indemnify and hold harmless and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law or under the Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, (x) arising out of or pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (y) otherwise with respect to any act or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, in each case for a period of six years after the date hereof; provided, however, in no event shall Parent be obligated to provide indemnity to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to clause (y) immediately above which in the aggregate is in excess of $10,243,000. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties for any period after the Effective Time shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation, (ii) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received, and (iii) the Surviving Corporation will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent Page 36 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that, in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to any single action unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties in which case this limitation shall not apply. (c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect directors' and officers' liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policy on terms no less favorable than those now applicable to directors and officers of the Company; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of insurance containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to such covered persons or provide for such coverage under Parent's directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (a copy of which has been made available to the Company) if Parent's policy provides, subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.17(c), at least the same coverage and amounts and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to covered persons than the Company's current policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to maintain such policies to the extent the premium therefore exceeds 200% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company in respect of the current policy or policies (the "Maximum Amount") but in such case shall purchase as much comparable coverage as available for the Maximum Amount. 6.18 APPOINTMENT OF COMPANY NOMINATED DIRECTORS. Parent hereby agrees to appoint, immediately after the Effective Time, Messrs.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding approval thereof by the stockholders of the Company or Parent: (a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company; or (b) by either Parent or the Company, if the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 31, 1997 (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1 shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of or a substantial contributor to the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date); or Page 40 (c) by either Parent or the Company, if a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other action having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger (provided that (i) if the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 is subject to such order, decrees or ruling, it shall have used all reasonable efforts to have such order, decree or ruling removed and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1 shall not be available to any party who has not complied with its obligations under Section 6.12 and such noncompliance materially contributed to the issuance of any such order, decree or ruling or the taking of such action); (d) by action of the Board of Directors of the Company (i) following receipt of an Alternative Proposal if (a) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after advice of outside counsel, that such action is necessary in order to fulfill its fiduciary duties to stockholders imposed by law, and if (b) such Board of Directors is then in receipt of a written opinion from its financial advisor that such Alternative Proposal would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company's stockholders from a financial point of view than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, prior to any such termination, the Company notifies Parent promptly of its intention to terminate this Agreement or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Alternative Proposal, but in no event shall such notice be given less than 48 hours prior to the public announcement of such action; or (ii) if the Board of Directors of Parent shall have withdrawn or modified in a manner materially adverse to the Company its approval of this Agreement or the Merger or recommendation of the issuance of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Merger. (e) by action of the Board of Directors of Parent if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have withdrawn or modified in a manner materially adverse to Parent its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger. (f) by Parent or the Company, if, at a duly held meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment thereof) held for the purpose of voting on the Merger, this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock (voting as a single class) shall not have approved the Merger and this Agreement; (g) by Parent or the Company, if, at a duly held meeting of the stockholders of Parent (including any adjournment thereof) held for the purpose of voting on the issuance of the Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger, the requisite vote of a majority of the holders of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall not have approved such issuance. 10.2 OPTION TO PURCHASE. (a) The Company hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase for an amount equal to $4.14 per share (the "Per Share Price") in cash up Page 41 to 330,714 authorized but unissued shares of Company Common Stock (the "Optioned Shares"). The Option shall expire (such event being referred to herein as the "Option Termination Event") if not exercised as permitted under this Agreement prior to the earlier of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b), 10.1(c), 10.1(d)(ii), 10.1(f) (unless prior to the date of the meeting referred to therein an Alternative Proposal is publicly announced) or 10.1(g) or (iii) the first business day after the three hundred and sixty-fifth calendar day following termination of this Agreement for any reason pursuant to 10.1(d)(i), 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) (if prior to the date of the meeting referred to therein an Alternative Proposal is publicly announced); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the exercise of the Option shall be subject to any injunction prohibiting its exercise such period shall be extended for a period of sixty days following the removal of any such injunction. (b) Provided that (i) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order issued by any Federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the United States prohibiting the exercise of the Option or the delivery of the Optioned Shares shall be in effect and (ii) any such exercise shall otherwise be subject to compliance with applicable law, Parent may exercise the Option in whole or in part at any time or from time to time after the occurrence of both an Initial Triggering Event and a Purchase Event (as defined in Section 10.2(d)) if, but only if, both the Initial Triggering Event and the Purchase Event shall have occurred prior to the occurrence of an Option Termination Event. In the event that Parent wishes to exercise the Option, Parent shall give written notice of such exercise (the date of such notice being herein called the "Notice Date") within 30 days following such Purchase Event to the Company specifying the number of Optioned Shares it will purchase pursuant to such exercise and a place and date for the closing of such purchase. (c) At any closing of the exercise of the Option, (i) Parent will make payment to the Company of the aggregate price for the Optioned Shares in immediately available funds, in an amount equal to the product of the Per Share Price multiplied by the number of Optioned Shares being purchased at such closing and (ii) the Company will deliver to Parent a duly executed certificate or certificates representing the number of Optioned Shares so purchased, registered in the name of Parent or its nominee in the denominations designated by Parent in its notice of exercise. (d) For the purposes this Section 10.2, an "Initial Triggering Event" shall have occurred at such time as one of the following events shall have occurred and Parent shall have determined in good faith (and shall have notified the Company in writing of such determination) that there is a reasonable likelihood that, as a result of the occurrence of any of the following events, consummation of the Merger pursuant to the term of this Agreement is jeopardized: (i) any Person as defined in Sections (a)(9) or 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (other than Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent) shall have commenced a bona fide offer to purchase shares of Company Common Stock such that, upon consummation of said offer, such Person would own or control 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, or shall have entered into an agreement to (A) merge or consolidate or enter into any similar transaction, with the Company, or (B) purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities representing 10% or more of the voting power of the Company; (ii) any Person (other than Parent or any Subsidiary Page 42 of Parent) shall have acquired beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock (the term "beneficial ownership" for purposes of this Section 10.2(d) having the meaning assigned thereto in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act); (iii) any Person (other than Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent) shall have made a bona fide proposal to the Company after the date of this Agreement by public announcement or written communication to (A) acquire the Company by merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of its assets or any other similar transaction, or (B) make an offer described herein; (iv) any Person shall have solicited proxies in a proxy solicitation subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in opposition to approval of this Agreement by the Company's stockholders; (v) or any Person shall have willfully breached any provision of this Agreement, which breach would entitle Parent to terminate this Agreement and such breach shall not have been cured pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and prior to Parent's request under this Section 10.2. For purposes of this Section 10.2, a "Purchase Event" shall have occurred at such time as the Company is obligated to pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee set forth in Section 10.3(a)(i). (e) At any time commencing upon the occurrence of a Purchase Event at Parent's or Company's request, the Company shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the difference between the "market/tender offer" price for shares of Company Common Stock (defined as the higher of the average price per share at which a tender or exchange offer has been made or the highest reported sale price for shares of Company Common Stock on the date Parent or the Company gives notice of the required payment under this Section 10.2) and the Per Share Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 10.2(f) which difference shall be multiplied by the total number of Optioned Shares as to which the Option has not theretofore been exercised, as adjusted pursuant to Section 10.2(f), but only if the market/tender offer price is greater than such exercise price. In the event that the Company makes a payment directly to Parent of the amounts provided for in this Section 10.2(e), such payment shall extinguish all other rights of Parent under this Option but shall not affect the rights of Parent under the Agreement or otherwise. (f) If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the shares of the Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the number of Optioned Shares and the Per Share Price shall be adjusted appropriately so as to restore Parent to its rights hereunder, at an adjusted per share purchase price equal to the Per Share Price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of the Company Common Stock purchasable prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock purchasable after the adjustment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Option shall be construed as permitting the Company to take any action or enter into any transaction prohibited by this Agreement. (g) The Company shall, if requested by Parent, as expeditiously as possible file a registration statement on a form of general use under the Securities Act if necessary in order to permit the sale or other disposition of the shares of Company Common Stock that have been acquired upon exercise of the Option in accordance with the intended method of sale or other disposition requested by Parent. Parent shall provide all information Page 43 reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in any registration statement to be filed hereunder. The Company will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement first to become effective and then to remain effective for such period not in excess of two hundred and seventy calendar days from the day such registration statement first becomes effective as may be reasonably necessary to effect such sales or other dispositions. The registration effected under this Section 10.2 shall be at the Company's expense except for all agency fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the sale of such securities, which amounts shall be borne by Parent. In no event shall the Company be required to effect more than one registration hereunder regardless of the number of assignees. The filing of any registration statement hereunder may be delayed for such period of time as may reasonably be required if the Company determines that any such filing or the offering of any such shares of Company Common Stock would (i) impede, delay or otherwise interfere with any financing, offer or sale of Company Common Stock or any other securities of the Company, or (ii) require disclosure of material information which, if disclosed at that time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its shareholders. If requested by Parent in connection with any such registration, the Company will become a party to any underwriting agreement relating to the sale of such shares, but only to the extent of obligating itself in respect of representations, warranties, indemnities and other agreements customarily included in such underwriting agreements. Upon receiving any request from Parent or an assignee thereof under this Section 10.2(g) the Company agrees to send a copy thereof to Parent and to any assignee thereof known to the Company, in each case by promptly mailing the same, postage prepaid, to the address of record of the Persons entitled to receive such copies. 10.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) The Company shall pay Parent a fee of $1,500,000 (the "Company Termination Fee") in the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (x) Section 10.1(d)(i) or 10.1(e), or (y) Section 10.1(f) if prior to the meeting of the stockholders of the Company contemplated pursuant to Section 6.4 an Alternative Proposal is publicly announced and the Company consummates such Alternative Proposal within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f), or (ii) the condition set forth in Section 7.6 is not satisfied as a result of either (x) false or inaccurate statements made by the Company in the representation letter delivered by the Company to Ernst & Young or (y) a sale or other transfer after the date hereof of the capital stock of the Company or of Parent by an "affiliate" of the Company, as such term is defined and used in Accounting Series Releases 130 and 135, as amended; or (z) any action taken by the Company subsequent to the date of this Agreement. The Company Termination Fee shall be payable by wire transfer of same day funds either on the date contemplated in the last sentence of Section 10.1(d) if applicable, or otherwise, within two business days after such amount becomes due. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.3(a) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for the fee set forth in this Section 10.3(a) the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the rate of 10% per annum. Page 44 (b) Parent shall pay the Company a fee of $1,500,000 (the"Parent Termination Fee") in the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(ii), or (ii) the condition set forth in Section 7.6 is not satisfied as a result of either (x) false or inaccurate statements made by Parent in the representation letter delivered by Parent to Ernst & Young; or (y) a sale or other transfer after the date hereof of the capital stock of Parent by an "affiliate" of Parent, as such term is defined and used in Accounting Series Releases 130 and 135, as amended; or (z) any action taken by Parent subsequent to the date of this Agreement. The Parent Termination Fee shall be payable by wire transfer of same day funds within two business days after such amount becomes due. Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.3(a) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit which results in a judgment against Parent for the fee set forth in this Section 10.3(a) Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the rate of 10% per annum. (c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto, except that (a) the agreements contained in Section 6.8, the last sentence of Section 6.3 and Sections 10.3(a) and 10.3(b) shall survive the termination hereof and (b) if termination of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to have been caused by willful breach of this Agreement, then, in addition to other remedies at law or equity for breach of this Agreement, the party so found to have willfully breached this Agreement shall indemnify the other parties for their respective costs, fees and expenses of their counsel, accountants and other experts and advisors as well as fees and expenses incident to negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and related documentation and their stockholders' meetings and consents. 11.

(c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the covenants and agreements set forth herein shall not prevent any of the Stockholder's designees, partners or affiliates serving on the Board of Directors of the Company from taking any action, subject to and in conformity with the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement, while acting in such capacity as a director of the Company. (e) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. (f) The Stockholder acknowledges that Showscan's rights hereunder are unique and that it will not have adequate remedies at law for the Stockholder's failure to perform his obligations hereunder. Accordingly, it is agreed that Showscan shall have the right to specific performance and equitable injunctive relief for the enforcement of such obligations in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity.

Section 3. IRREVOCABLE PROXY. (a) The Stockholder hereby appoints Dennis Pope and W.

(b) The Stockholder shall execute such additional documents and take such additional actions as Showscan may reasonably request to effectuate or further secure and protect the rights of Showscan under this Section 3. (c) Showscan and the Stockholder intend that this proxy is coupled with an interest in the Shares, and, as a result, this proxy shall be irrevocable until the date this proxy terminates as provided in Section 3(e) hereof, whereupon it shall automatically lapse. (d) The Stockholder hereby revokes any other proxy or proxies to act and vote on behalf of any and all Shares now or hereafter owned by the Stockholder, and hereby ratifies and confirms all acts and votes that the proxy specified herein may lawfully perform by virtue of this authorization. (e) This proxy shall terminate and shall be revoked upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Section 4. TERMINATION.
