Gentlemen:

          The undersigned understands and agrees as follows:

          1.   Scoop, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has filed a
registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which Registration Statement contemplates the public offering by the Company of
1,300,000 shares (excluding 195,000 shares of Common Stock which may be sold by
the Company upon exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option) of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock").

          2.   After consultation, the Company, the undersigned and Shamus
Group, Inc., acting as Representative (the "Representative") of the several
Underwriters (the "Underwriters") for the proposed public offering, have agreed
that any significant sales of Common Stock by the officers, directors and/or
stockholders of the Company within the twelve (12) month period after the date
of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement could have an adverse effect
on the market price for the Common Stock.

          3.   It is in the best interests of the Company and of all
stockholders of the Company to have a successful public offering and stable and
orderly public market thereafter.

          Therefore, in order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to
proceed with the proposed public offering, the undersigned will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, offer to sell, sell, grant an option to purchase or sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber, or enter into any
agreement to do any of the foregoing with respect to, any shares of Common Stock
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common
Stock, prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, without the prior written consent
of the Representative, except for shares acquired in the public offering or in
the open market after the effective date of the Registration Statement.  The
undersigned further agrees that, for a period of one year following the
effective date of the Registration Statement, the Representative shall have the
right to require that any sales of Common Stock made by the undersigned be made
through the Representative or such other broker-dealer(s) as the Representative
may allow.
