NOW, THEREFORE, in contemplation of the foregoing and in consideration of

not take or permit any action to, directly or indirectly, (i) transfer, sell,
assign, give, pledge, exchange or pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber

or agreement relating thereto, at any time prior to the Expiration Date; (ii)
deposit any of the Stockholder's Securities into a voting trust or enter into a
voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Stockholder's Securities or
{PAGE}

manner that conflicts or may conflict with the Stockholder's obligations
hereunder, or (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or
undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer,
exchange or other disposition of or transfer of any interest in or the voting of
any of the Stockholder's Securities, in each case, in a manner that conflicts or
may conflict with the Stockholder's obligations hereunder. As used herein, the
term "Expiration Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time

the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (including any
extensions to the Merger Agreement, as provided for therein).

to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after the date
of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (the "New Shares"), and any
and all other shares or securities of OLYMPIC issued, issuable, exchanged or
exchangeable in respect of any New Shares, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares.

called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment thereof,
and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of
OLYMPIC with respect to any of the following, the Stockholder agrees to vote
such Stockholder's Securities: (i) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement,
the Merger, the transactions contemplated thereby and any matter that could
reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger; (ii) in favor of any
alternative structure as may be agreed upon by OLYMPIC and FMFK to effect the
acquisition of OLYMPIC by FMFK or of control of OLYMPIC; provided that such
alternative structure is on terms in the aggregate no less favorable to
OLYMPIC's stockholders than the terms of the Merger set forth in the Merger
