EXHIBIT 99.2
VOTING AGREEMENT
This Voting Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of June 3, 1998, is
made and entered into by and among those individuals and entities set forth on
the signature page hereof (the "Shareholders") for the benefit of the Purchasers
(as defined herein).
1. INTRODUCTION. This Agreement is being entered into in connection with
the execution and delivery of that Common Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as
of June 3, 1998 (the "Subscription Agreement"), by and among 3DX Technologies
Inc. (the "Company"), Minnowburn Corporation and Susan Morrice, among others
(the "Purchasers"), whereby the Company will issue shares of its common stock
("Common Stock") to the Purchasers and will grant an option to the Purchasers to
acquire additional shares of Common Stock upon the happening of certain events,
principal among which is the approval of the shareholders of the Company of the
stock issuance contemplated by the option. The stock issuances and other
transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement (including any issuance
of Dilutive Shares or Penalty Shares) are herein referred to as the
"Transactions." The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that their execution and
delivery of this Agreement and agreement to vote in favor of the Transactions is
a material inducement to the Purchasers to execute and deliver the Subscription
Agreement and that the Purchasers would not be willing to enter into the
Subscription Agreement but for the representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement.
2. CONSENT. The Company has furnished to each Shareholder a copy of the
Subscription Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto). Subject to the terms
and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Shareholders consent to the
Subscription Agreement and the Transactions.
3. AGREEMENT TO VOTE. To induce the Purchasers to enter into the
Subscription Agreement, each of the Shareholders individually covenants and
agrees, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof, to vote all
shares of Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by him (and any and all
securities issued or issuable in respect thereof) or which the Shareholder is
entitled to vote (collectively, the "Shares") FOR and in favor of the
Subscription Agreement and the Transactions at any and all meetings of the
shareholders of Company at which the Subscription Agreement and/or the
Transactions are considered and at any adjournment(s) thereof.
4. IRREVOCABLE PROXY. Each Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints
Susan Morrice and Kevin Moore, and each of them (the "Proxy Holder," whether one
or both), with full power of substitution, its true and lawful proxy and
attorney-in-fact to vote the Shares of such Shareholder at the Stockholders
Meeting referred to in Section 1.6(a) of the Subscription Agreement or any
adjournment(s) thereof in favor of the approval of (i) the Subscription
Agreement, the issuance of the Option and the common stock issuable thereunder,
the issuance of the Dilution Shares and the Penalty Shares, if any, and the
Transactions and (ii) the Reverse Stock Split. Such proxy shall be limited
strictly to the power to vote such Shares in the manner set forth in the
preceding sentence and shall not extend to any other matters. Each Shareholder
acknowledges that the proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable to the full extent permitted by Section 212 of the
-1-
Delaware General Corporation Law. In the event that any Shareholder for any
reason fails to vote its Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 3
hereof, then the Proxy Holder shall have the right to vote such Shares in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4. The vote of the Proxy Holder
shall control in any conflict between its vote of such Shares and a vote by any
Shareholder of such Shares. The irrevocable proxy granted pursuant to this
Section 4 shall continue in effect until the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDERS. Each of the

Shareholder is the duly authorized and acting agent or representative of such
entity (with full power and authority to enter into this Agreement) and this
Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary entity action. None of the

other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such shares, other
than pursuant to this Agreement.

such Shareholder, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except

performance, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought.

Shareholder do not, and the performance by him of his obligations hereunder will
not, constitute a violation of, conflict with or result in a default under any
contract, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement, statute or
restriction of any kind to which he is a party or by which he or any of his
property is bound or any judgment, decree or order applicable to him.

covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that until the Transactions have been
consummated such Shareholder will not, without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers, directly or indirectly, (i) grant any proxies or enter into any
voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of any
Shares, or (ii) except in the case of any pledge of the Shares pursuant to which
the Shareholder retains the voting rights with respect to the Shares, (a) sell,
assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares, or (b) enter into any
contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the
direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer or other
disposition of any Shares.
8. REMEDIES. The parties acknolwedge and agree that performance of their
respective obligations hereunder will confer a unique benefit on the other and
that a failure of performance will not be compensable by money damages. The
parties hereto agree that if for any reason any Shareholder shall fails to
perform his obligations under this Agreement, then any party hereto seeking to
enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party shall be entitled to
specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief, and the parties
hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any
bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable
relief. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights that either
party hereto may have against the other party hereto for any failure to perform
its obligations under this Agreement. The failure by any of the Shareholders to
perform his obligations hereunder shall in no way affect the obligation of the
other Shareholders to perform their respective obligations hereunder.

member of the board of directors or an officer of the Company, shall not require
