outstanding as of the date hereof and held of record by a total of approximately

C. The respective Boards of Directors of Calnetics and Summa deem it
advisable and generally to the advantage of each corporation, and in the best
interests of their respective shareholders, to cause Calnetics to be merged
with and into a newly-to-be-formed California corporation which will be a
wholly-owned subsidiary ("Subsidiary") of Summa, under and pursuant to the
provisions of the California Corporations Code (the "Merger"). Accordingly, the
respective Boards of Directors of Calnetics and Summa have approved, and will
recommend for approval of their respective shareholders, this Agreement and the
Merger contemplated hereby, and have directed their respective proper officers
to execute and deliver this Agreement and to cause the respective corporations
to perform each of their respective obligations hereunder.
D. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the acquisition by
Summa of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Calnetics will
qualify as a corporate "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), such that receipt of
Summa Common Stock will not be a taxable transaction for federal income tax
purposes for the shareholders of Calnetics, who will recognize taxable gain only
on the cash and Debentures (as defined below) received by them as a consequence
of the Merger. This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

3. CONVERSION OF SHARES, OPTIONS AND OTHER SECURITIES.
--------------------------------------------------
3.1 Manner of Converting Shares. The manner and basis of converting
---------------------------
securities of Calnetics into securities of Summa shall be as follows:
3.1.1 Calnetics Common Stock.
----------------------
(a) Subject in all events to the provisions of Sections 3.1.1(b) and
3.4 below, each share of Calnetics Common Stock outstanding on the Effective
Date shall, as a consequence of the Merger, be converted automatically into the
right to receive:
(i) The sum of $1.25 in cash;
(ii) The additional sum of $2.25, which shall be payable
pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Debenture in
the form of Exhibit A to the form of Indenture attached
as Exhibit B hereto; and
(iii) That portion of a share of Summa Common Stock as is
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.1.1(c) below.
(b) Debentures will not be callable or otherwise redeemable at the
option of Summa during their term. Debentures will be issued in principal
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, and holders of
Calnetics' Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a Debenture
in a principal amount of less than $1,000 will be entitled to receive such
amount, in lieu thereof and at their election to be made within 30 days
following the date of the Letter of Transmittal sent to each former shareholder
of Calnetics as provided in Section 3.2 below, either in cash or in additional
shares of Summa's Common Stock valued at the Average Trading Price (as defined
in Section 3.1.1(c) below), with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided
in Section 3.3 below. Holders failing to make an election within this 30-day
period will be deemed to have elected to receive either additional shares of
Summa's Common Stock or cash, at the option of Summa.
(c) The portion of a share of Summa Common Stock which the former
Calnetics Shareholders shall be entitled to receive as a consequence of the
Merger for each share of Calnetics Common Stock held as of the Effective Time of
the Merger shall be determined by dividing $4.25 by the Average Trading Price of
a share of Summa Common Stock, but not less than .57 of a share nor more than
.77 of a share. For these purposes, the Average Trading Price will equal the
20-day average of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for a share
of Summa's Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market for each of the 20
consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the meeting of
Calnetics Shareholders to be held to consider and vote upon the Merger, as
provided in Section 8.6 below.
3.1.2 Options to Purchase Calnetics Common Stock. Each Option (as
-------------------------------------------
defined in Section 6.2(a) below) outstanding at the Effective Time shall be
canceled as of the Effective Time by agreements with the holder thereof to
accept, in the place thereof, an option to purchase
5
1.167 shares of Summa Common Stock, at the same aggregate exercise price, all as
provided in Section 10.6 below.
3.1.3 Calnetics Common Stock Owned by Calnetics. Shares of Summa
-----------------------------------------
Common Stock shall not be issued as a consequence of the Merger in respect of
shares of Calnetics Common Stock owned by Calnetics immediately prior to the
Effective Time, if any, and as of the Effective Time any and all such shares of
Calnetics Common Stock owned by Calnetics shall be canceled and retired, and all
rights in respect thereof shall cease to exist.
3.2 Surrender and Exchange of Calnetics Common Stock.
------------------------------------------------
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the
Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Calnetics Common Stock
immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Calnetics
Common Stock which will be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1.3 and any shares
which constitute Perfected Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 3.4) a letter
of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") stating that the Merger has been
consummated and setting forth instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
the shares of Calnetics Common Stock in exchange for the cash, Debenture and
shares of Summa Common Stock which all holders of shares of Calnetics Common
Stock are entitled to receive as a consequence of the Merger. An election form
shall accompany each Letter of Transmittal pursuant to which each holder may
elect within 30 days following the date of the Letter of Transmittal to receive
cash or additional shares of Summa Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.1.1(b) above.
(b) Upon surrender of a certificate formerly representing shares of
Calnetics Common Stock for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a
Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as the Exchange
Agent shall reasonably request, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled
to receive in exchange therefor (i) a certified or bank cashier's check in the
amount equal to the cash which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
the provisions of Sections 3.1.1(a)(i), 3.1.1(b) and 3.3, (ii) a Debenture in
the aggregate principal amount which such holder has a right to receive pursuant
to Section 3.1.1(a)(ii), and (iii) a certificate representing that number of
whole shares of Summa Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive
pursuant to Section 3.1.1(a)(iii) (in each case less the amount of any required
withholding taxes), and the certificate formerly representing shares of
Calnetics Common Stock so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each certificate formerly
representing shares of Calnetics Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes
at any time after the Effective Time to evidence solely the right to receive the
cash, Debenture and number of whole shares of Summa Common Stock into which such
shares of Calnetics Common Stock have been converted under Section 3.1 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no
dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time on Summa
Common Stock shall be paid with respect to any shares of Calnetics Common Stock
until the certificate formerly representing such shares is surrendered for
exchange as provided herein. Subject to the effect of applicable laws,
following surrender of any certificate formerly representing shares of Calnetics
Common Stock, there shall be paid to the holder of shares of Summa Common Stock
issued in exchange therefor, without interest, the amount of dividends or
other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore
6
payable with respect to such whole shares of Summa Common stock and not paid,
less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon.
(d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on
the stock transfer books of Calnetics of the shares of Calnetics Common Stock
which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the
Effective Time, certificates representing any such shares are presented to the
Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for certificates
for the consideration, if any, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement. Certificates formerly representing shares
of Calnetics Common Stock surrendered for exchange by any person constituting an
"affiliate" of Summa for purposes of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act shall
not be exchanged until Summa has received an Affiliate Letter from such person
in the form set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto. In the event that any
certificate which formerly represented shares of Calnetics Common Stock shall
have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that
fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed
and, if required by Summa, the posting by such person of a bond in such
reasonable amount as Summa may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be
made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the applicable Merger
consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares, and unpaid dividends and
distributions on shares of Summa Common Stock as provided herein.
3.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Summa Common Stock
-----------------
and no scrip certificates therefor shall be issued to represent any fractional
share interests in shares of Summa Common Stock, and such fractional share
interest shall not entitle the owners thereof to vote, to receive dividends, or
to exercise any other right of shareholders of Summa. In lieu of a fractional
share or scrip certificate, each holder of a share of Calnetics Common Stock
otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in a share of Summa Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest) in an amount
equal to the fraction of such share of Summa Common Stock to which such holder
otherwise would be entitled multiplied by the Average Trading Price determined
as provided in Section 3.1.1(c) above.
3.4 Dissenting Shares. Each Calnetics Shareholder, if any, and each
-----------------
Summa Shareholder, if any, who becomes entitled, pursuant to the provisions of
the California Corporations Code, to the payment in cash of the "fair market
value" of such Shareholder's shares of Calnetics Common Stock or Summa Common
Stock, as the case may be ("Perfected Dissenting Shares"), shall receive payment
therefor from Summa, but only after the value thereof shall have been agreed
upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions. Perfected Dissenting
Shares acquired by Summa, if any, shall be canceled.

6.9 Real Property. Set forth in the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule is
-------------
a complete and accurate description of each parcel of real property owned by or
leased to and occupied by Calnetics, and Calnetics neither owns or leases, nor
occupies, any other real property. Except as would be disclosed in a reasonably
diligent inspection, to Calnetics' Knowledge, the buildings and all fixtures and
improvements located on such real property are in good operating condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. To Calnetics Knowledge, Calnetics is not in
violation of any zoning, building or safety ordinance, regulation or requirement
or other law or regulation applicable to the operation of owned or leased
properties, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse affect upon Calnetics, its condition (financial or otherwise),
assets, liabilities, properties or business, and Calnetics has not received any
notice of violation with which it has not complied or is not taking steps to
comply. Calnetics has good and marketable title to all such real property owned
by Calnetics, free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, easements,
leases, restrictions and claims of any kind whatsoever except for (i) those
matters shown on the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule, (ii) liens for taxes and tax
assessments not yet due and payable; and (iii) mechanics' or similar liens for
materials or services furnished or to be furnished after the date hereof. All
leases of real property to which Calnetics is a party are fully effective in
accordance with their respective terms and afford Calnetics peaceful and
undisturbed possession of the subject matter of the lease, and there exists no
material default on the part of Calnetics or termination thereof, except as may
be set forth in the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule.
6.10 Tangible Personal Property. Set forth in the Calnetics
--------------------------
Disclosure Schedule hereto is a complete list of all items of tangible personal
property (including without limitation all items of tooling) owned, leased or
otherwise used by Calnetics in the current conduct of its business, wherever
located, where the original cost was in excess of $50,000.00. Except as set
forth in the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule, Calnetics has, and at the Effective
Date will have, good and marketable title to, or in the case of leased equipment
a valid leasehold interest in, and is in the possession of, all such items of
personal property owned or leased by it, free and clear of all title defects,
mortgages, pledges, security interests, condition sales agreements, liens,
restrictions or encumbrances whatsoever. Included in the Calnetics Disclosure
Schedule is a list of all outstanding equipment leases and maintenance
agreements to which Calnetics is a party as lessee and which individually
provide for future lease payments in excess of $5,000 per month, with the
identities of the other parties to all such leases and agreements shown thereon.
All leases of tangible personal property to which Calnetics is a party and which
are material to the business of Calnetics are fully effective in accordance with
their respective terms, and there exists no material default on the part of
Calnetics or termination thereof, except as may be set forth in the Calnetics
Disclosure Schedule. Each item of capital equipment reflected in the Calnetics
Balance Sheet which is used in the current conduct of Calnetics' business is in
good operating and usable condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and is suitable for use in the ordinary course of Calnetics' business and fit
for its intended purposes, except as may be set forth in the Calnetics
Disclosure Schedule.
14
6.11 Tax Matters. Calnetics has, since its inception, duly filed and
-----------
timely all federal, state, county and local tax returns required to have been
filed by it in those jurisdictions where the nature or conduct of its business
required such filing and where the failure to so file would be materially
adverse to Calnetics. Copies of all tax returns for the past three years have
been made available for inspection by Summa prior to the execution hereof. All
federal, state, county and local taxes, including but not limited to those taxes
due with respect to Calnetics' properties, income, gross receipts, excise,
occupation, franchise, permit, licenses, sales, payroll, and inventory due and
payable as of the date of the Effective Date by Calnetics have been paid or
validly extended. The amount reflected in the Calnetics Balance Sheet as
liabilities or reserves for taxes which are due but not yet payable is
sufficient for the payment of all accrued and unpaid taxes of the types referred
to hereinabove. No consent to the application of Section 341(f)(2) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, has been filed with respect to
Calnetics.
6.12 Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable reflected in the
-------------------
Calnetics Balance Sheet constituted all accounts receivable of Calnetics as of
the date thereof, other than accounts receivable fully written off as
uncollectible as of such date in accordance with consistently applied prior
practice. All such accounts receivable arose from valid sales made (as opposed
to consignments) or services rendered in the ordinary course of business, and
are not subject to any return privileges, set-off or counter-claim, except as
disclosed on the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule. Except as disclosed on the
Calnetics Disclosure Schedule, such accounts receivable have been collected in
full since the date of the Calnetics Balance Sheet or, to Calnetics' Knowledge,
are collectible at their full respective amounts (net of allowance for doubtful
accounts established in accordance with consistently applied prior practice).
Based upon the prior experience of Calnetics, the "allowance for doubtful
accounts" shown on the Calnetics Balance Sheet is sufficient to cover all
doubtful accounts.
6.13 Inventories. Calnetics has good and marketable title to all of
-----------
its inventories of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, including
models and samples, free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims and
encumbrances, except as set forth in the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule. All
such inventories consist of items that are usable and salable in the ordinary
course of business of Calnetics for an amount at least equal to the book value
thereto, plus the costs of disposition thereof, and represent quantities,
individually and in the aggregate, not in excess of one year's requirements for
its business as currently conducted, except as may be set forth in the Calnetics
Disclosure Schedule.
6.14 Contracts and Commitments. Calnetics has no contract, agreement,
-------------------------
obligation or commitment, written or oral, expressed or implied, which involves
a commitment or liability in excess of $100,000 or for a term of more than one
year or whose terms do not permit cancellation without liability on 90 days'
notice or less (other than obligations which are included in accounts payable),
and no union contracts, employee or consultant contracts, loan, credit or other
financing agreements, inventory flooring arrangements, debtor or creditor
arrangements, security agreements, licenses, franchise, manufacturing,
distributorship or dealership agreements, leases, or bonus, health or stock
option plans, except for those described in the Calnetics
15
Disclosure Schedule, all of which have been made available to Summa prior to the
execution hereof. As of the date hereof, to Calnetics' Knowledge, there exists
no circumstances which would affect the validity or enforceability of any of
such contracts and other agreements in accordance with their respective terms.
Except as set forth in the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule, Calnetics has
performed and complied in all material respects with all obligations required to
be performed by it to date under, and is not in default (without giving effect
to any required notice or grace period) under, or in breach of, the terms,
conditions or provisions of any of such contracts and other agreements. Except
as set forth in the Calnetics Disclosure Schedule, the validity and
enforceability of any contract or other agreement described herein has not been
and shall not in any manner be affected by the execution and delivery of this
Agreement without any further action. Except as set forth in the Calnetics
Disclosure Schedule, Calnetics has no material contract, agreement, obligation
or commitment which requires or will require future expenditures (including
internal costs and overhead) in excess of reasonably anticipated receipts, nor
which is likely to be materially adverse to Calnetics' business, assets or
condition (financial and otherwise).

marketing of all products made or proposed to be made by Calnetics, and, to the
Knowledge of Calnetics, the continued use thereof by Calnetics following the
Effective Date will not conflict with, infringe upon, or otherwise violate any
rights of others. To Calnetics' Knowledge, Calnetics has not used and is not
making use of any confidential information or trade secrets of any present or
past employee of Calnetics that has not been assigned to Calnetics or that
Calnetics does not have the right to use.
6.16 No Pending Material Litigation or Proceedings. Except as set
---------------------------------------------

proceedings pending or, to Calnetics' Knowledge, threatened against or directly
affecting Calnetics (including actions, suits or proceedings where liabilities

federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, court,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or affecting any
of the shareholders, officers or directors of Calnetics in connection with the
business, operations or affairs of Calnetics, which could reasonably be expected

asserting a particular defect or hazardous property in any of Calnetics'
products, services or business practices or methods, nor has Calnetics been a
party to or threatened with proceedings brought by or before any federal or
state agency; and Calnetics has no Knowledge of any defect or hazardous
property, claimed or actual, in any such product, service, business practice or
method. Calnetics is not subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding
under the United States Bankruptcy Code and has not made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors.

leased to and occupied by Summa, and Summa neither owns or leases, nor occupies,
any other real property. Except as would be disclosed in a reasonably diligent
inspection, to Summa's Knowledge, the buildings and all fixtures and
improvements located on such real property are in good operating condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. To Summa's Knowledge, Summa is not in
violation of any zoning, building or safety ordinance, regulation or requirement
or other law or regulation applicable to the operation of owned or leased
properties, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse affect upon Summa, its condition (financial or otherwise),
assets, liabilities, properties or business, and Summa has not received any
notice of violation with which it has not complied or is not taking steps to
comply. Summa has good and marketable title to all such real property owned by
Summa, free and clear of al liens, mortgages, encumbrances, easements, leases,
restrictions and claims of any kind whatsoever except for (i) those matters
shown on the Summa Disclosure Schedule; (ii) liens for taxes for the current
year and tax assessments not yet due and payable; and (iii) mechanics' or
similar liens for materials or services furnished or to be furnished after the
date hereof. All leases of real property to which Summa is a party are fully
effective in accordance with their respective terms and afford Summa peaceful
and undisturbed possession of the subject matter of the lease, and there exists
no material default on the part of Summa or termination thereof, except as may
be set forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule.
7.10 Tangible Personal Property. Set forth in the Summa Disclosure
--------------------------
Schedule hereto is a complete list of all items of tangible personal property
(including without limitation all items of tooling) owned or leased and used by
Summa in the current conduct of its business, where the original cost was in
excess of $50,000. Except as set forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, Summa
has, and at the Effective Date will have, good and marketable title to, or in
the case of leased equipment a valid leasehold interest in, and is in possession
of, all such items of personal property owned or leased by it, free and clear of
all title defects, mortgages, pledges, security interests, conditional sales
agreements, liens, restrictions or encumbrances whatsoever. Included
23
in the Summa Disclosure Schedule is a list of all outstanding equipment leases
and maintenance agreements to which Summa is a party as lessee and which
individually provide for future lease payments in excess of $5,000 per month,
with the identities of the other parties to all such leases and agreements shown
thereon. All leases of tangible personal property to which Summa is a party and
which are material to the business of Summa are fully effective in accordance
with their respective terms, and there exists no material default on the part of
Summa or termination thereof, except as may be set forth in the Summa Disclosure
Schedule. Each item of capital equipment reflected in the Summa Balance Sheet
which is used in the current conduct of Summa's business is in good operating
and usable condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and is
suitable for use in the ordinary course of Summa's business and fit for its
intended purposes, except as may be set forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule.
7.11 Tax Matters. Summa has, since its inception, duly filed and
-----------
timely all federal, state, county and local tax returns required to have been
filed by it in those jurisdictions where the nature or conduct of its business
required such filing and where the failure to so file would be materially
adverse to Summa. Copies of all tax returns for the past 3 years have been made
available for inspection by Calnetics prior to the execution hereof. All
federal, state, county and local taxes, including but not limited to those taxes
due with respect to Summa's properties, income, gross receipts, excise,
occupation, franchise, permit, licenses, sales, payroll, and inventory due and
payable as of the date of the Effective Date by Summa have been paid or validly
extended. The amount reflected in the Summa Balance Sheet as liabilities or
reserves for taxes which are due but not yet payable is sufficient for the
payment of all accrued and unpaid taxes of the types referred to hereinabove.
No consent to the application of Section 341(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, has been filed with respect to Summa.
7.12 Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable reflected in the
-------------------
Summa Balance Sheet constituted all accounts receivable of Summa as of the date
thereof, other than accounts receivable fully written off as uncollectible as of
such date in accordance with consistently applied prior practice. All such
accounts receivable arose from valid sales made (as opposed to consignments) or
services rendered in the ordinary course of business, and are not subject to any
return privileges, set-off or counter-claim, except as disclosed on the Summa
Disclosure Schedule. Except as disclosed in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, such
accounts receivable have been collected in full since the date of the Summa
Balance Sheet or, to Summa's Knowledge, are collectible at their full respective
amounts (net of allowance for doubtful accounts established in accordance with
consistently applied prior practice). Based upon the prior experience of Summa,
the "allowance for doubtful accounts" shown on the Summa Balance Sheet is
sufficient to cover all doubtful accounts.
7.13 Inventories. Summa has good and marketable title to all of its
-----------
inventories of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, including
models and samples, free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims and
encumbrances, except as set forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule. All such
inventories consist of items that are usable and salable in the ordinary course
of business of Summa for an amount at least equal to the book value thereto,
plus the costs of disposition thereof, and represent quantities, individually
and in the aggregate, not in
24
excess of one year's requirements for its business as currently conducted,
except as may be set forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule.
7.14 Contracts and Commitments. Summa has no contract, agreement,
-------------------------
obligation or commitment, written or oral, expressed or implied, which involves
a commitment or liability in excess of $100,000 or for a term of more than one
year or whose terms do not permit cancellation without liability on 90 days'
notice or less (other than obligations which are included in accounts payable),
and no union contracts, employee or consulting contracts, financing agreements,
debtor or creditor arrangements, licenses, franchise, manufacturing,
distributorship or dealership agreements, leases, or bonus, health or stock
option plans, except as described in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, all of which
have been made available to Calnetics prior to the execution hereof. As of the
date hereof, to Summa's Knowledge, there exists no circumstances which would
affect the validity or enforceability of any of such contracts and other
agreements in accordance with their respective terms. Except as set forth in the
Summa Disclosure Schedule, Summa has performed and complied in all material
respects with all obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and
is not in default (without giving effect to any required notice or grace period)
under, or in breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of any of such
contracts and other agreements. Except as set forth in the Summa Disclosure
Schedule, the validity and enforceability of any contract or other agreement
described herein has not been and shall not in any manner be affected by the
execution and delivery of this Agreement without any further action. Except as
set forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, Summa has no material contract,
agreement, obligation or commitment which requires or will require future
expenditures (including internal costs and overhead) in excess of reasonably
anticipated receipts, nor which is likely to be materially adverse to Summa's
business, assets or condition (financial and otherwise).
7.15 Patents, Trade Secrets and Customer Lists. Except as set forth
-----------------------------------------

relating to any products manufactured, rented or sold by Summa. Except as set
forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, to the Knowledge of Summa, Summa has the
unrestricted right to use, free and clear of any claims or rights of others, all
trade secrets, customer lists, manufacturing and secret processes, trademarks,
tradenames, brand names, licenses and service marks reasonably necessary to the
manufacture and marketing of all products made or proposed to be made by Summa,
and, to the Knowledge of Summa, the continued use thereof by Summa following the
Effective Date will not conflict with, infringe upon, or otherwise violate any
rights of others. To Summa's Knowledge, Summa has not used and is not making
use of any confidential information or trade secrets of any present or past
employee of Summa that has not been assigned to Summa or that Summa does not
have the right to use.
7.16 No Pending Material Litigation or Proceedings. Except as set
---------------------------------------------
forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to Summa's Knowledge, threatened against or directly
affecting Summa (including actions, suits or proceedings
25
where liabilities may be adequately covered by insurance) at law or in equity or
before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
commission, court, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign, or affecting any of the shareholders, officers or directors of Summa in
connection with the business, operations or affairs of Summa, which could
reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the business,
properties or assets, or in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Summa, or
which question or challenge the transaction contemplated hereby. Except as set
forth in the Summa Disclosure Schedule, to Summa's Knowledge, Summa has not,
during the past three years, been threatened with any action, suit, proceedings
or claim (including actions, suits, proceedings or claims where its liabilities

business practices or methods, nor has Summa been a party to or threatened with
proceedings brought by or before any federal or state agency; and Summa has no
Knowledge of any defect or hazardous property, claimed or actual, in any such
product, service, business practice or method. Summa is not subject to any
voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code and
has not made an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
7.17 Insurance. Summa maintains insurance with reputable insurance
---------
companies on such of its equipment, tools, machinery, inventory and properties
as are usually insured by companies similarly situated in the same geographic
location and to the extent customarily insured, and maintains products and
personal liability insurance, and such other insurance against hazards, risks
and liability to persons and property as is customary for companies similarly
situated in the same geographic location. A true and complete listing and
general description of each of Summa's insurance policies as currently in force,
including all policies of group medical and/or dental insurance, is set forth in

available to Calnetics. All such insurance policies are currently in full force
and effect.

state securities laws, agrees to comply and cause its representatives to comply
with such restrictions, and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party and
each of its directors, officers and employees free and harmless from any and all
liability, cost or expense that any of them may incur or suffer by reason of any
breach by the indemnifying party or any of its authorized representatives of any
of such restrictions. From and after the date hereof and until the Closing or

------------------------------------------
expressly provided in this Agreement, neither party shall permit to be done any
act which would result in a material breach of any of the covenants of such

canceling or terminating any of such
30
contracts, agreements, leases or other commitments presently in force, except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior approval of the
other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and which may be
