REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
2.1 Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The
Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Purchasers:
(a) Organization. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota,
with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the

and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each Transaction Document by the
Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company.
Each Transaction Document has been duly executed by the Company and, when
delivered or filed in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors'
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Company is set forth in Schedule 2.1(c). Except as specifically
disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c), no shares of Common Stock of the Company are
entitled to preemptive or similar rights, nor is any holder of the Common Stock
of the Company entitled to preemptive or similar rights. Except as disclosed
in Schedule 2.1(c), there are no outstanding options, warrants or commitments
of any character whatsoever relating to, or, except as a result of the purchase
and sale of the Shares and Warrants hereunder, securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person any
right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or
contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is
bound to issue additional shares of the Company's Common Stock, or securities
or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of the Company's Common
Stock.
(d) Issuance of Shares and Warrants. The Shares and the Warrants
are duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Certificate of
- 2 -
3
Designation or the Warrants, as the case may be, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. As of the Closing Date, the Company will have and, at
all times while any Shares or any Warrants are outstanding, will maintain, an
adequate reserve of duly authorized shares of its Common Stock to enable it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Warrants and the Certificate
of Designation with respect to the number of Shares and Warrants issued and
outstanding at such Closing Date. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Shares and exercise of the Warrants and which may be issued
as payment of dividends on the Shares are collectively referred to herein as
the "Underlying Shares." When issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Certificate of Designation or the Warrants, as the case may be, the Underlying
Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid (except that
Underlying Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants shall be fully paid upon
delivery of the applicable exercise price therefor) and non-assessable, free
and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances or defects of any kind
(collectively, "Liens"), except as set forth in any required legends thereon.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; or (ii)
subject to obtaining the consents referred to in Section 2.1(f), conflict with,
or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is
subject (other than (x) a violation of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), as a result of a failure
of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in the first
sentence of Section 2.2(h) to be accurate; or (y) a violation of any federal
and state securities laws requiring filings with such authorities and the
delivery of certain information pursuant to Rule 502(b)(1) promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable
state securities laws, to the Purchasers who are deemed not to be accredited
investors as a result of a failure of the representations and warranties of the
Purchasers set forth in Section 2.2(c) to be accurate), or by which any
property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except in the case of
each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not reasonably
be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a material
adverse effect on the results of operations, assets or financial condition of
the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse
Effect").
(f) Consents and Approvals. Except as specifically set forth in
Schedule 2.1(f), and assuming that the representations and warranties of the
Purchasers contained in Section 2.2 are true and correct in all respects, the
Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state,
local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the
- 3 -
4
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction
Documents, except for (i) the filings of the Certificate of Designation with
respect to the Shares with the Secretary of State of Minnesota; (ii) the
filing of the Underlying Securities Registration Statement(s) (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission"); (iii) the application(s) or any letter(s) acceptable to and
approved by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") for
the designation of the Underlying Shares for trading on the Nasdaq National
Market (and with any other national securities exchange or market on which the
Common Stock is then listed); (iv) any filings, notices or registrations under
applicable federal or state securities laws and any filing that may be required
under the HSR Act as a result of a failure of the representations and
warranties of the Purchasers set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.2(h)
to be accurate; and (v) other than, in all other cases, where the failure to
obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give or make such
notice or filing, would not materially impair or delay the ability of the
Company to effect the Closing and to deliver to the Purchasers the Shares (and,
upon conversion of the Shares and exercise of Warrants, the Underlying Shares)
in the manner contemplated hereby and by the Registration Rights Agreement
(together with the consents, waivers, authorizations, orders, notices and
filings referred to in Schedule 2.1(f), the "Required Approvals").
(g) Litigation; Proceedings. There is no action, suit, notice of
violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its properties
before or by any court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory
authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) which could reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) No Default or Violation. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary
(i) is in default under or in violation of any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or
by which it or any of its properties is bound; or (ii) is in violation of any
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, except as could not
reasonably be expected to, in any such case (individually or in the aggregate)
have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) SEC Documents. The Company has filed all reports required to
be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), including, pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the
three years preceding the date hereof (the foregoing materials being
collectively referred to herein as the "SEC Documents"), on a timely basis, or
has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such
SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. The financial statements
of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects
with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of the Commission with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
- 4 -

prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and fairly present
in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for
the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments. Since the date of the financial statements included in the
Company's last filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
February 27, 1998, there has been no event, occurrence or development that has
had a Material Adverse Effect which has not been specifically disclosed to the
Purchasers by the Company.
2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser,
severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is a corporation duly
incorporated or a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation
or an individual, in each case, with the requisite power and authority to enter
into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Purchaser of Securities
hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Purchaser. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes the valid
and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such
Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and to
general principles of equity.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof or interest
therein, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in
compliance with applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from
such registration.
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Shares and the Warrants, it was and, at the date hereof, it is, and at the
Closing Date it will be, an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (4) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together
with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the
merits and risks of such investment to its satisfaction.
- 5 -
6
(e) Ability of Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. On the Closing
Date, such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(f) Access to Information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it
has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, and the
merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information
about the Company and the Company's financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to
evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional
information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision
with respect to its investment.
(g) Reliance. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the
Securities are being offered and sold to the Purchaser without registration
under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder; and (ii) the
availability of such exemption depends in part on, and the Company will rely
upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations and such
Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
(h) No Affiliation. No Purchaser is an Affiliate or Associate (as such
terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of any other
Purchaser or is acting in concert with any other Purchaser. No Purchaser
beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)
any Securities of any other Purchaser.
(i) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser
of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with
or violate any provision of its certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws, partnership agreement or other governing instrument, as applicable
(each as amended through the date hereof), or result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of
any court or governmental authority to which such Purchaser is subject
(including foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations).
(j) Consents and Approvals. Except for Schedule 13D and Form 4 filings
by Molex Incorporated, such Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent,
waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any
court or other foreign, federal, state, local or other governmental authority
or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by
such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents.
(k) Litigation; Proceedings. There is no action, suit, notice of
violation, proceeding or investigation pending, or to the knowledge of such
Purchaser, threatened against
- 6 -
7
or affecting such Purchaser before or by any court, governmental or
administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or
foreign) which would adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability
of any of the Transaction Documents in any respect or adversely impair such
Purchaser's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under
the Transaction Documents.
(l) Beneficial Ownership of Xxxxxxxx Stock. At and after the Closing,
no Purchaser shall be a Beneficial Owner of fifteen percent (15%) or more of
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. For purposes of this Section
2.2(l), "Beneficial Owner" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1(d) of
the Rights Agreement dated June 16, 1996, as amended effective July 25, 1998,
by and between the Company and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as the same may be
amended or modified from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"). Each Purchaser
has been provided, upon its request, with a copy of such definition and has had
an opportunity to review it with such Purchaser's legal counsel. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
shall not be deemed to have received any required approval under the terms of
such Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Molex
Incorporated, such references above to fifteen percent (15%) shall be deemed to
refer to twenty-two percent (22%).
(m) Residency. Each Purchaser is a resident of the state set forth
opposite its name on Exhibit A attached hereto.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

held by it, such Purchaser understands and agrees that it may do so only
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to
the Company or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with any transfer of any
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the
Company or to an Affiliate of such Purchaser or pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act ("Rule 144"), the Company may require the transferor thereof to
provide to the Company a written opinion of counsel experienced in the area of
United States securities laws selected by the transferor, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
securities under the Securities Act.
(b) Each Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by
this Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:

as the case may be, occurs at any time while the Underlying Securities
Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act or in the event
there is not an effective Underlying Securities Registration Statement at such
time, if the Underlying Shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, or if in
the written opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the area of United
States securities laws such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretation and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company makes no
representation, warranty or agreement as to the availability of any exemption
from registration under the Securities Act with respect to any resale of any
Securities.

valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
5.10 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity
and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will
