such transactions, CDVI will own beneficially and of record in excess of 80% of
the issued and outstanding shares of ADC Common Stock, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
Section 1.01. Plan; Purchase and Sale of the Shares
CDVI and Sellers hereby adopt a plan of reorganization pursuant to the
provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. The terms and conditions
governing this plan of reorganization are hereinafter set forth. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations,
warranties and covenants herein set forth, CDVI hereby agrees to purchase from
the Sellers, and the Sellers hereby agree to sell and deliver to CDVI, at the
Closing (as hereinafter defined in Section 1.05 hereof), the Shares free and
clear of any and all liens, claims, options, charges, encumbrances or rights of
any nature ("Claims").
Section 1.02. Consideration
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance on
the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and in
consideration of the sale and delivery by the Sellers of the Shares, CDVI hereby
agrees to issue to the Sellers .18182 of one share of DAKA Common Stock, for
each Share of ADC Common Stock sold and delivered to CDVI, subject to possible
adjustment, as provided in Section 1.03 hereof. No fractional shares will be
issued by CDVI to the Sellers. Instead, the total number of shares of DAKA
Common Stock to be issued to each Seller (regardless of whether such Seller's
Shares are represented by a single or multiple certificates) will be rounded up
or down to the nearest number of whole shares of DAKA Common Stock (or in the
case of .5, to the next higher whole number). Reference is made to the
representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Section 2.04 hereof,
including, without limitation, the acknowledgment and understanding that (a) the
DAKA Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers hereunder has not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any
state securities laws, (b) the DAKA Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers
hereunder will be subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws and may not be transferred unless (x) it is
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or (y) there is delivered to DAKA an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
DAKA that such registration is not required,and (c) DAKA will place a
restrictive legend to the foregoing effect on the certificate(s) representing
the DAKA Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers hereunder.
Section 1.03. Adjustments to Consideration
In the event that (a) on the Closing Date (as such term is hereinafter
defined), the Closing Price (as such term is hereinafter defined) of a share of
DAKA Common Stock is less than $21.00 per share and (b) Sellers owning a
majority of the Shares elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
6.01(e) hereof, then CDVI will have the right to rescind such termination by
adjusting the consideration for the Shares as follows, in which case the Sellers
will be obligated to proceed with the sale and delivery of the Shares: in
consideration for each Share of ADC Common Stock to be sold by each of the
Sellers, CDVI will deliver a fraction of one share of DAKA Common Stock
(determined to the nearest one-tenth of one-thousandth of a share) calculated by
multiplying (i) .18182 by (ii) the quotient of (x) $21.00 divided by (y) the
Closing Price. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Closing Price" shall
mean the average per share closing sale price of DAKA Common Stock as reported
on the Nasdaq National Market over the twenty (20) trading days immediately
preceding the second trading day prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date the
outstanding shares of DAKA Common Stock or ADC Common Stock are changed into a
different number of shares or a different class or series, by reason of any
stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split,
combination or exchange of shares, the consideration described above shall be
correspondingly and proportionately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend,
subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange
of shares.

consideration of the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein

or agreement;

liable with respect to such claim for the full amount of such claim and the
non-breaching Sellers (subject to the further limitation that the liability of

with respect to such claim only to the extent that the full amount of such
indemnification claim is not recoverable by the Company Indemnified Parties from
the breaching Seller.
(b) Dollar-for-Dollar Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, recovery by Company Indemnified Parties on account of indemnification
claims made pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof shall not be subject to any

other instrument delivered under or in connection with this Agreement, or by
reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted arising out of

Section 7.06. Notice; Defense of Claims
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any claim,
liability or expense to which the indemnification obligations hereunder would
apply, the indemnified party shall give notice thereof in writing to the
indemnifying party, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party
promptly will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability except to
the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been prejudiced as a result of
the failure or delay in giving such notice. Such notice shall state the
information then available regarding the amount and nature of such claim,
liability or expense and shall specify the provision or provisions of this
Agreement under which the liability or obligation is asserted. If within 20 days
after receiving such notice the indemnifying party gives written notice to the
indemnified party stating that (i) it would be liable under the provisions
hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were successful,
(ii) that it shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights) for
all liabilities relating to such claim, liability or expense and that it will
provide full indemnification (whether or not otherwise required hereunder) to
the indemnified party with respect to such claim, liability or expense and (iii)
that it disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense
at its own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by
the indemnifying party (subject to the consent of the indemnified party which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the indemnified party shall not
be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense
as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent
defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of
any such matters by the indemnifying party shall relate solely to the claim,
liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification,
and provided further that prior to such assumption of defense the indemnifying
party shall enter into an agreement with the indemnified party in form and
substance satisfactory to the indemnified party pursuant to which the
indemnifying party unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance of any
liability or obligation which may arise out of or in any way relating to such
claim, liability or expense or the facts giving rise thereto. The indemnifying
party shall have the right, with the consent of the indemnified party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters
related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled
provided its obligation to indemnify the indemnifying party therefor will be
fully satisfied. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party
apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting
suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the indemnified party with
all documents and information that the indemnified party shall reasonably
request and shall consult with the indemnified party prior to acting on major
matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein
stated to the contrary, the indemnified party shall at all times have the right
to fullyparticipate in such defense at its own expense directly or through
counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable
standards of professional conduct, the expense of separate counsel for the
indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party. If no such notice of
intent to dispute and defend is given by the indemnifying party, or if such
diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, the
indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, undertake the
defense of (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and shall have the
right to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), such
claim, liability or expense. If such claim, liability or expense is one that by
its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the
indemnified party shall make available all information and assistance that the
indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the
indemnifying party in such defense.

to achieve such effectiveness promptly following such 90-day period if the
request pursuant to this Section 8.02 has been made prior to the expiration of
such 90-day period. DAKA may postpone the filing of any Registration Statement
required hereunder for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days, if
DAKA has been advised by outside legal counsel that such filing would require
the disclosure of a material transaction or other matter and DAKA determines
reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure would have a material adverse
effect on DAKA; provided, however, that DAKA shall (A) use reasonable efforts to
disclose such material transaction or other matter as soon as in its good faith

being disclosed during the length of such postponement and of the consequences
of such nondisclosure under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
(b) Effective Registration. A registration will not be deemed to have been
effected as a Resale Registration unless the Resale Registration Statement with
respect thereto has been declared effective by the Commission; provided,
however, that if after it has been declared effective, the offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement is interfered
with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the
Commission or any other governmental agency or court, such Resale Registration
Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the period of such
interference until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Resale Registration Statement may legally resume.
Section 8.03. Registration Procedures
In connection with the obligations of DAKA to effect or cause the
registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, DAKA shall use reasonable efforts to effect the registration
and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method
of distribution thereof, and in connection therewith:
(a) DAKA shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration

reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and
remain effective in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
(b) DAKA shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may
be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for as long as such

Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendments or
supplements thereto, as such Holder may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities

is declared effective, use reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other
securities or "blue sky" laws of such states of the United States as any Holder
requests; provided, however, that DAKA shall not be required (i) to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 8.03(d) or (ii) to file any general
consent to service of process;
(e) DAKA shall promptly notify each Holder, (i) when a Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with
respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any state
securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement
and Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement
has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iv) of the issuance
by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority of any order
suspending thequalification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities under state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (v) of the
happening of any event which makes any statement made in a Registration
Statement or related Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any
changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus so that they will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As
soon as practicable following expiration of the Suspension Period (as defined
below), DAKA shall prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement
or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
In the case of a Resale Registration Statement, each Holder, upon receipt
of any notice (a "Suspension Notice") from DAKA of the happening of any event of
the kind described in Section 8.03(e)(v), shall forthwith discontinue
disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration
Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder's receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section
8.03(e) or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by DAKA that the use of
the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and,
if so directed by DAKA, such Holder will, or will request any broker-dealer
acting as such Holder's agent or as an underwriter to, deliver to DAKA (at
DAKA's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder's or broker-dealer's possession, of the Prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice; provided,
however, that in no event shall the period from the date on which any Holder
receives a Suspension Notice to the date on which any Holder receives either the
Advice or copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 8.03(e) (the "Suspension Period") exceed 60 days; and provided further
that such Suspension Notice shall not be effective unless DAKA has
contemporaneously given an analogous notice to all other persons named as
selling securityholders in then effective registration statements filed by DAKA
with the Commission and to DAKA's directors. In the event that DAKA shall give
any Suspension Notice, the time periods for which a Resale Registration
Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof shall
be extended by the number of days during the Suspension Period.
Section 8.04. Registration Expenses
DAKA shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the registration
of the Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement. Such
expenses shall include, without limitation, all printing, legal and accounting
expenses incurred by DAKA and all registration and filing fees imposed by the
Commission, any state securities commission or the NASDAQ National Market. The
Holders shall be responsible for any brokerage or underwriting commissions and
taxes of any kind (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) with respect
to any disposition, sale or transfer of Registrable Securities and for any
legal, accounting and other expenses incurred by them.
Section 8.05. Indemnification and Contribution
(a) Indemnification by DAKA. DAKA agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to
the full extent permitted by law, each Holder, its partners, officers,
directors, trustees, stockholders, employees and agents, and each person who
controls such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or is under common control with, or is
controlled by, such Holder, together with the partners, officers, directors,
trustees, stockholders, employees and agents of such controlling person
(collectively, the "Controlling Persons"), from and against all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal
fees and expenses incurred by any Holder or any such Controlling Person
documented in writing) (collectively, the "Damages") to which such Holder, its
partners, officers, directors, trustees, stockholders, employees and agents, and
any such Controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to
which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or caused
by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they
were made not misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented if DAKA shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such
Damages arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission
based upon information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to DAKA by
such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however, that DAKA shall not
be liable to any Holder under this Section 8.05(a) to the extent that any such
Damages were caused by the fact that such Holder sold Securities to a person as
to whom it shall be established that there was not sent or given, at or prior to
the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus as then amended
or supplemented if, and only if, (i) DAKA has previously furnished copies of
such amended or supplemented Prospectus to such Holder and (ii) such Damages
were caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission contained in the Prospectus so delivered which was corrected in such
amended or supplemented Prospectus.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless DAKA, its stockholders, directors,
officers and each person, if any, who controls DAKA within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from DAKA to such Holder, but only with
reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to DAKA by
such selling Holder specifically for use in any Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto);
provided, however, that such selling Holder shall not be obligated to provide
such indemnity to the extent that such Damages result from the failure of DAKA
to promptly amendor take action to correct or supplement any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus on the basis of corrected or supplemental information
provided by such selling Holder to DAKA expressly for such purpose. In no event
shall the liability of any Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater
in amount than the amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale
of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Contribution. To the extent that the indemnification provided for in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.05 is unavailable to an indemnified party
or insufficient in respect of any Damages, then each indemnifying party under
such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of DAKA on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of DAKA on the one
hand and of the Holders on the other hand shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by DAKA or by the Holders and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
If indemnification is available under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section
8.05, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the
full extent provided in such paragraphs without regard to the relative fault of
said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable
consideration provided for in this Section 8.05(c).
DAKA and each Holder agrees that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8.05(c) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to herein.
Section 8.06. Restrictions on Sale
In the event of an underwritten public offering for the account of DAKA,
upon the written request (the "Lock-up Request") of the managing underwriter (or
underwriters) of such offering, each Holder agrees not to effect any public sale
or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered in such
offering (other than pursuant to such offering), including, without limitation,
through sales of Securities pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement, during
the 14 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on the effective
date of the Registration Statement relating to such offering (the "Lock-up
Period"); provided, however, that the Holders shall not be required to comply
with such Lock-up Request unless DAKA simultaneously demands analogous
restrictions on sale and uses all reasonable efforts to obtain from all other
persons who are contractually bound with DAKA to comply with such Lock-up
Requests and from DAKA's directors. In the event of the delivery of a Lock-up
Request, the time periods for which a Resale Registration Statement is required
to be kept effective pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof shall be extended by the
number of days during the Lock-up Period.
Section 8.07 Transfer of Registration Rights
The registration rights of the Sellers and any Holders under this Article
VIII may be transferred to any transferee of Registrable Securities that
acquires at least 1,000 shares of Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends and the like). Each such transferee shall be
deemed to be a "Holder" for purposes of this Article VIII.
ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.01. Law Governing
This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws,
and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Minnesota.
Section 9.02. Notices
Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if
delivered or sent by facsimile transmission (promptly followed by hard copy
confirmation), upon receipt, or if sent by registered or certified mail upon the
sooner of the expiration of three days after deposit in United States post
office facilities properly addressed with postage prepaid or acknowledgment of

Section 9.03. Prior Agreements Superseded.
This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 9.04. Assignability
This Agreement shall be assignable by the Company (a) prior to the Closing
to a subsidiary of the Company although no such assignment shall relieve the
Company of any liabilities or obligations under this Agreement and (b) after the
Closing, to any person. This Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by the
Company without the prior written consent of Sellers owning a majority of the
Shares or (except as otherwise permitted by Section 8.07 hereof) by any Seller
without prior written consent of the Company. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto
and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted
assigns, and no others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement
is intended to give any person not named herein the benefit of any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, except as expressly
provided herein.
Section 9.05. Fees and Expenses
Each of the parties to this Agreement shall pay his or her or its own
expenses and costs associated with the negotiation, execution and delivery of
this Agreement and any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and
expenses of counsel, accountants and financial advisors or other professionals
acting on behalf of such party.
Section 9.06. Publicity and Disclosures
None of the parties hereto nor any of their respective stockholders,
affiliates, officers, directors or employees shall issue or cause the
publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written
consent of the Company and Sellers owning a majority of the Shares, except to
the extent disclosure is required by any applicable law or regulation or by any
court or authorized administrative or governmental agency.
Section 9.07. Captions and Gender
The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction or interpretation of any term or provision hereof. The
use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in reference to a party hereto
shall be deemed to include the feminine or neuter pronoun, as the context may
require.
Section 9.08. Execution in Counterparts
For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
Section 9.09. Certain Remedies; Severability
It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of this Agreement
by any of the parties will result in irreparable injury to the aggrieved party,
that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach and
that, in addition to any other remedy for such breach and that, in addition to
any other remedy it may have, such aggrieved party shall be entitled to enforce
the specific performance of this Agreement by the breaching party and to seek
both temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving
actual damages, but without limitation of their rights to recover such damages.
In case any of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, any such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had been limited or modified (consistent with
its general intent) to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal and
enforceable, or if it shall not be possible to so limit or modify such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision or part of a provision, this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or part of a
provision had never been contained in this Agreement.
Section 9.10. Amendments; Waivers
This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a writing duly and
validly executed by the Company and Sellers owning a majority of the Shares. Any
party hereto may waive any covenant or condition intended for its benefit in its
discretion, but delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver
on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies of any party arising out of or otherwise in
respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, or any
failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement, contained in this
Agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission,
occurrence or other state of facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy,
breach or failure is based may also be the subject matter of any other
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (or
in any other agreement between the parties) as to which there is no inaccuracy,
breach or failure.
Section 9.11. Exhibits and Schedules
The Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are a part of this Agreement
as if set forth in full herein. Any reference to this Agreement or any provision
hereof shall be deemed to include a reference to the Schedules and Exhibits
hereto.
