WHEREAS, Shareholder is the beneficial owner of the number of shares of common stock, without par value, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) (all such shares of Company Common Stock, together with the Rights issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2001, by and between InterVoice-Brite, Inc. and Computershare Investor Services, LLC., being hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”), and holds stock options (the “Options”) to acquire the number of Shares, in each case, as set forth on Annex A hereto opposite Shareholder’s name; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Purchaser and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for Purchaser to commence the Offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser have requested that Shareholder agree, and in order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(b)        Other than the Options, the Shares constitute all of the securities (as defined in Section 3(10) of the Exchange Act, which definition will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the Company beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Shareholder (excluding any securities beneficially owned by any of his affiliates or associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which definition will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) as to which he does not have voting or investment power).

Shareholder holds exclusive power to vote the Shares and (other than as set forth in Section 3.02) has not granted a proxy to any other person to vote the Shares, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.
