      THIS VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of October

18, 2005, by and between Hoshizaki America, Inc., a Georgia corporation

("PARENT") and each of the signatories hereto (each, a "SHAREHOLDER").

 

      WHEREAS, Parent has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, of even

date herewith (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the "MERGER

AGREEMENT"; capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the

meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Parent will

directly acquire all of the capital stock of Lancer Corporation (the "COMPANY")

through the merger of a designee of Parent to be formed as a corporation under

the laws of the State of Texas with and into the Company; and

 

      WHEREAS, each Shareholder owns capital stock in the Company and desires to

enter into this Agreement pursuant to which he, she or it agrees, among other

things, to vote all of the Subject Shares (as defined in Section 1(b), below)

held by such Shareholder in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger

Agreement.

 

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

representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be

legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

 

      1. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Each Shareholder hereby

represents and warrants to Parent as of the date hereof, as follows:

 

            (a) Authority. Such Shareholder has all requisite power and

authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions

contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such

Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder

in accordance with its terms. Except as may be required under the HSR Act,

federal securities laws or the rules of the National Association of Securities

Dealers, Inc., the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not and

compliance with the terms hereof will not (i) conflict with, result in any

violation of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a

default under, any provision of any material trust agreement, loan or credit

agreement, bond, note, mortgage, indenture, lease or other contract or agreement

applicable to the Subject Shares held by such Shareholder, (ii) require any

filing with, or permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any federal,

state or local government or any court, tribunal, administrative agency or

commission or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, domestic or

foreign, or (iii) violate any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law,

statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Subject Shares held by such

Shareholder.

 

            (b) The Subject Shares. Such Shareholder is the record or beneficial

owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the number of shares of Company

Common Stock set forth opposite his, her or its name on the signature page

hereto (such shares of Company Common Stock, together with any other shares of

capital stock of the Company acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof

and during the term of this Agreement, by purchase, exercise of stock options or

otherwise, collectively referred to herein as the "SUBJECT Shares"), free and

clear of any liens or other encumbrances whatsoever. Such Shareholder does not

own, of record or beneficially, any shares of Company Stock other than the

Subject Shares held by such Shareholder; and, such Shareholder does not have any

voting rights with respect to any shares of Company Stock other than the Subject

Shares held by such Shareholder, pursuant to any voting agreement or otherwise.

As of the date hereof and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect,

except for this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, such

Shareholder has full legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Subject

Shares held by such Shareholder in favor of the approval and authorization of

the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby

(collectively, the "PROPOSED TRANSACTION") without the consent or approval of,

or any other action on the part of, any other person or entity. Without limiting

the generality of the foregoing, such Shareholder has not entered into any

voting agreement (other than this Agreement) with any person or entity with

respect to any of the Subject Shares held by such Shareholder,

or affecting his, her or its legal power, authority or right to vote the Subject

Shares held by such Shareholder on any matter.

            (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) and 10 below, and

without in any way limiting any Shareholder's right to vote the Subject Shares

held by such Shareholder in his, her or its sole discretion on any other matters

that may be submitted to a Shareholder vote, consent or other approval

Shareholder's obligations under this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby

irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, until the earlier of (y) the

Effective Time or (z) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated (the

earlier thereof being referred to as the "EXPIRATION DATE"), at any meeting of

the shareholders of the Company called to vote upon the Merger, its approval or

any rescission or withdrawal of such approval, or at any adjournment thereof, or

in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval

(including written consent) with respect to the Merger and the Merger Agreement

is sought, each Shareholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Shares

held by such Shareholder:

 

                  (i) in favor of the Merger, the approval and adoption by the

      Company of the Merger Agreement and approval of the other transactions

                  (ii) against (A) any Acquisition Transaction other than the

      Proposed Transaction (a "COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL"), (B) any change in the

      capital structure of the Company and (C) any other action that may

      reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or

      attempt to discourage the consummation of the transactions contemplated by

      the Merger Agreement or result in a breach of any of the covenants,

      representations, warranties or other obligations or agreements of the

      Company under the Merger Agreement, which would materially and adversely

       affect the Company or Parent or their respective abilities to consummate

      the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

            (b) By executing this Agreement, each Shareholder, in furtherance of

the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, and in order
