---------
THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (the "Voting Agreement"), is made and entered
----------------
into as of March 29, 2000 between those holders of the shares of outstanding
common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company (as
------------
defined below) set forth on the signature page hereof (each, a "Shareholder"
and, collectively, the "Shareholders") and Xxxxxx-XXXX Funding, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser").
---------
RECITALS
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Voting Agreement, pursuant to a
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2000 (the "Purchase
--------
Agreement"), by and between EFTC Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the
---------
"Company"), and the Purchaser, the parties thereto agreed to a series of
-------
transactions, including the issuance and sale to Purchaser of $46,000,000 in
aggregate principle amount of 15% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes due
2006 ("Exchangeable Notes") and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the
------------------
"Warrants") in an amount equal to 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock (the
--------
purchase and sale of the Exchangeable Notes and Warrants being referred to as
the "Initial Investment").
------------------
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser intends to
engage in a tender offer for shares of Common Stock (the "Tender Offer" and
------------
together with the Initial Investment, the "Transactions"). The consummation of
------------
the Transactions requires the approval of the Company's shareholders
("Shareholder Approval")
--------------------
C. The Board of Directors has, prior to the execution of this Voting
Agreement, duly and validly approved and adopted the Purchase Agreement, and has
resolved and agreed to call a special meeting of shareholders (the "Special
-------
Meeting") for such purpose and to recommend a vote approving the issuance of
-------
shares of Common Stock related to the Transactions and such approval, adoption
and recommendation has not been withdrawn.
D. Each of the Shareholders is the beneficial owner of the number of
shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on Schedule I
hereto.
E. Upon gaining Shareholder Approval, the Tender Offer will be completed,
the Exchangeable Notes will be exchanged for the Company's 8.625% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes ("Convertible Notes"), and any unexercised
-----------------
Warrants will be cancelled.
F. As an additional inducement to the Purchaser to enter into the
Transaction, each of the Shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of the
Transaction on the terms set forth below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Voting of Shares. Each of the Shareholders covenants and agrees
----------------
with each other Shareholder and the Purchaser, to be present at or otherwise
cause its Shares to be counted as present for purposes of a quorum and to vote,
by proxy or in person, such number of Shares that may be voted by such
Shareholder in favor of the Transaction at any meeting (whether the Special
Meeting or otherwise and whether or not adjourned or postponed). The Shareholder
agrees, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the
earlier of the Shareholder Approval and the termination of this Agreement, not
to, and not to permit any of its wholly-owned affiliates to, vote or execute any
written consent in lieu of a shareholders meeting or vote of the Company, if
such consent or vote by the Shareholders would be inconsistent with or frustrate
the purposes or terms of this Voting Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the
Shareholders hereby grants to, and appoints, each of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx
Xxxxxx, individually, its irrevocable proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full
power of substitution) to vote the Shares as indicated in this Voting Agreement.
The Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable until the termination of
this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action
and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent
of this proxy.
Each of the Shareholders hereby revokes any and all previous proxies
with respect to its Shares or any other voting securities of the Company that
may relate to the voting of its Shares in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 1.
The term "Shares" as used herein shall mean any and all shares of the
------
capital stock of the Company (including Common Stock) which carry voting rights
(including any voting rights which arise by reason of default) now owned or
subsequently acquired by a Shareholder through purchase, gift, stock splits,
stock dividends and exercise of stock options.
2. Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference. Except as
-----------------------------------------------------
contemplated by this Voting Agreement, each Shareholder agrees not to, directly
or indirectly, (i) offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber,
assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other
arrangement or understanding with respect to, or consent to the offer for sale,
transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition (each, a
"Disposition") of, any or all of the Shares or any interest therein; provided,
however, that a Disposition shall be permitted if, prior to or simultaneously
with such Disposition, the transferee shall execute an amendment to this
Agreement agreeing to be bound by all of its terms and conditions; (ii) grant
any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Shares into a voting trust or
enter into a voting agreement with respect to any shares; or (iii) take any
action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder
contained herein untrue or incorrect, or have the effect of preventing or
disabling the Shareholder from performing the Shareholder's obligations pursuant
to this Voting Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder
-------------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
a. Schedule I sets forth the number of Shares of which the
Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner. The Shareholder is the lawful
owner of such Shares and has the sole power to vote (or cause to be voted) the
Shares as set forth in this Agreement. Except as set forth on such Schedule I,
neither the Shareholder nor any of its wholly owned affiliates owns or holds any
rights to acquire any additional shares of any class of Shares or other
securities of the Company or any interest therein or any voting rights with
respect to any additional Shares or any other securities of the Company.
b. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the Shareholder.
c. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
agreement of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance
with its terms.
4. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to
-----------
occur of (i) Shareholder Approval of the Transaction, (ii) the date on which a
vote of the shareholders of the Company is taken on the Transactions and less
than a majority of such shareholders vote to approve the Transactions, (iii) the
date as of which the parties hereto terminate this Voting Agreement by written
consent, or (iv) December 31, 2000.
5. No Revocation. The voting agreements contained herein are coupled
-------------
with an interest and may not be revoked prior to termination in accordance with
Section 3.
