with such sum currently due and payable to LJCI in full; and

<PAGE>

Original Escrow Shares shall be placed into an escrow account (the "Escrow
Account"), pursuant to terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
A. One Voice shall transfer and deposit into the Escrow Account on behalf of
LJCI such additional shares of the Common Stock of One Voice as to account for
any stock split, dividends or the like that are declared by One Voice and occur
during the term that any of the Original Escrow Shares remain in the Escrow
Account, and such additional shares, if any, shall be deemed Original Escrow
Shares for the purposes of this Agreement. LJC1 shall agree to the transfer out
of the Escrow Account to One Voice such shares of the Original Escrow Shares as
may be necessary to account for any reverse stock split, combination or the like
that are declared by One Voice and occur during the term that any of the
Original Escrow Shares remain in the Escrow Account Upon the date that is one
year from the date of this Agreement, one stock certificate representing
1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of One Voice (as adjusted for any stock
split, combination, dividend, or the like) shall be released by the Escrow Agent
out of the Escrow Shares to LJCI, provided however, that at no time shall the
Escrow Agent release that number of Escrow Shares that would otherwise result in
LJCI beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then Outstanding shares of
Common Stock of One Voice, as further described in Section 3 of this Agreement.
Upon receipt of such shares of the Common Stock of One Voice, LJCI may sell such
released Escrow Shares via transactions on the American Stock Exchange, the
Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock Exchange,
the OTC Bulletin Board service of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. and/or the Pink Sheets published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices)
(collectively, the "Trading Market") daily in an amount equal to not more than
14% of the corresponding daily volume of shares of Common Stock of One Voice
that are sold on the Trading Market, provided that such amounts of the Common
Stock of One Voice that LJCI may sell under the provisions of this Agreement may
be cumulated. Upon the sale by LJCI of such released escrow shares, LJCI shall
provide the Escrow Agent with a report detailing the daily volume that such
sales by LJCI represented in the Common Stock of One Voice, along with the total
proceeds (less any reasonable brokerage fees and commissions) realized by LJCI
from such sales. Upon the Escrow Agent's reasonable satisfaction that such sales
by LJCI cumulatively accounted for less than 14% of the daily volume of the
sales of the Common Stock of One Voice on the Trading Market, the Escrow Agent
shall deliver out of the Escrow Shares held in the Escrow Account, an additional
stock certificate representing 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of One
Voice. Upon the Escrow Agent's reasonable satisfaction that the sales by LJCI
complied with the above described volume limitations, the Escrow Agent shall
continue the above described release of the Escrow Shares until the net proceeds
(less any reasonable brokerage fees and commissions) realized by LJCI through
the sale of the Escrow Shares equals the Minimum Escrow Proceeds (as defined
below). In the event that the market value of the Escrow Shares (calculated
based upon the average of the five most recent consecutive closing prices of
Common Stock of One Voice on the Trading Market) (the "Market Value of the
Escrow Shares") equals an amount less than two times the remaining amount of
Minimum Escrow Proceeds that has not yet been realized by LJCI through the sale
of the Escrow Shares (the "Threshold Amount"), One Voice shall transfer to LJCI
such additional shares (the "Additional Escrow Shares") of the Common Stock of
One Voice and the Additional Escrow Shares shall be placed into the Escrow
Account for release to LJCI in accordance with the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, such that the Market Value of the Escrow Shares then held in the
Escrow Account is at least equal to the Threshold Amount, provided that at all
times One Voice shall cause the transfer into the Escrow Account on behalf of

LJCI such Additional Escrow Shares such that the number of Escrow Shares in the
Escrow Account is equal to at least 15,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of One
Voice, as adjusted for any stock split, dividends, combinations or the like that
are declared by One Voice. LJCI shall not be required to pay any additional
consideration in connection with the transfer to LJCI of the Additional Escrow
Shares, if any. Upon notice from LJCI to One Voice and Alpha Capital Anstalt
("ACA") that the net proceeds realized by LJCI from the sale of the Escrow
Shares equals the Minimum Escrow Proceeds (with the date of such notice referred
to herein as the "Satisfaction Date"), ACA shall have the right to purchase from
LJCI the number of Escrow Shares that remain in the Escrow Account, if any, at a
purchase price equal to the number of Escrow Shares that remain in the Escrow
Account multiplied by an amount equal to 20% of the then current market value of
the Common Stock of One Voice (based on the applicable price per share of the
Common Stock of One Voice, as quoted on the Trading Market). ACA shall have the
right to assign to a third party such right to purchase the remaining Escrow
Shares. Upon ACA's, or its assignee's, purchase of the remaining Escrow Shares,
such remaining Escrow Shares shall be immediately released from the Escrow
Account to ACA or its assignee, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
ACA's, or its assignee's, delivery of the purchase price to LJCI in connection
with the purchase of the remaining Escrow Shares, if any, must occur within
fifteen days of notice to ACA of the occurrence of the Satisfaction Date, or
neither ACA nor any other party, other than One Voice, shall have the further
right to acquire such remaining Escrow Shares from LJCI. If ACA, or its
assignee, does not so purchase the remaining Escrow Shares as provided for in
the immediately preceding sentence, One Voice shall redeem such remaining Escrow
Shares immediately for an aggregate redemption price of $100 to be paid to LJCI
and the Escrow Shares shall be released and transferred from the Escrow Account
to One Voice. "Minimum Escrow Proceeds" shall mean the amount equal to the Owed
Amount minus the $195,000 paid to LJCI pursuant to Section 2(a).

      Commencing with the first month in which LJCI sells any of the Escrow
Shares in the Trading Market and terminating upon the date in which LJCI no
longer owns any of the Escrow Shares, LJCI shall provide a monthly written
report to each of One Voice and ACA reconciling the sale of such Escrow Shares
on a monthly basis, with such report detailing the percentage of the daily
volume that LJCI's sale, if any, of the Escrow Shares represented with respect
to the daily trading volumes of One Voice's Common Stock on the Trading Market.

      (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that any amount of the
payment of the Minimum Escrow Proceeds to LJCI remains outstanding, either One
Voice or ACA, or ACA's assignee, may pay in cash to LJCI an amount equal to the
Minimum Escrow Proceeds minus any net sums previously realized by LJCI from the
sale of the Escrow Shares, and within fifteen business days after such payment
(the "Purchase Period"), ACA, or ACA's assignee, as applicable, shall have the
right to purchase from LJCI the number of Escrow Shares that remain in the
Escrow Account, if any, at a purchase price equal to the number of Escrow Shares
that remain in the Escrow Account multiplied by an amount equal to 20% of the
then current market value of the Common Stock of One Voice (based on the
applicable price per share of the Common Stock of One Voice, as quoted on the
Trading Market as of the date of that One Voice, ACA, or ACA's assignee, as
applicable, made the cash payment to LJCI equal to the Minimum Escrow Proceeds
minus any net sums previously realized by LJCI from the sale of the Escrow
Shares) and upon ACA's, or its assignee's, purchase of the remaining Escrow

Shares, such remaining Escrow Shares shall be immediately released from the
Escrow Account to ACA, or ACA's assignee, as applicable, provided, however, that
if neither ACA nor ACA's assignee so purchase such Escrow Shares that remain in
the Escrow Account during the Purchase Period, One Voice shall have the right
within five business days of the expiration of the Purchase Period to redeem
such Escrow Shares remaining in the Escrow Account immediate
