Greg;
Well, there you go. Once again I stand corrected (With head down and a very sheepish grin on my face). O.K. then Ancor guys, you know your mission, go get that OEM! Very interesting action on ANCR today. A fellow on the Yahoo thread that goes by the name of Westwood, and seems to be knowledgeable thinks MM are accumulating bigtime for some reason. hmmmm

Jim

Greg you are correct, I asked Ken that question at the annual meeting and he said computer network competed with Infrange. As I am writing this ANCR is hitting a new high and BRCD is down six points, very interesting. It isn't due to MM's either, I see so many posts about MM's doing this or that, many people have a misinformed idea of the role of marketmakers in the overthecounter market. I think ANCR definitely has more good news coming.

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
of
ANCOR COMMUNICATIONS, INCORPORATED
A Minnesota Corporation

Warrant No.: __________ Issuance Date: June 2, 1999

---------------------------

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (the
"Holder") is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Ancor Communications,
Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), 1,500,000 fully paid and
nonassessable shares (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof) (the "Warrant
Shares") of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Common
Stock"), at an exercise price equal to $7.30 per share (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 2 hereof) (the "Exercise Price"), all upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth.

1. EXERCISE RIGHTS.

(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder for any Warrant Shares that have
vested pursuant Section 7, at any time on or prior to the Expiration
Date (as defined in Section 7), in whole or in part, by delivery to the
principal offices of the Company of this Warrant and a completed and
duly executed Notice of Cash Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit
A hereto, accompanied by payment to the Company of an amount equal to
the Exercise Price per share then in effect multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares to be purchased by the Holder in connection with such
cash exercise of this Warrant, which amount may be paid, at the
election of the Holder, by wire transfer or delivery of a check payable
to the order of the Company.

(b) Net Issue Exercise.

(i) In lieu of exercising the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant on a cash basis pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof,
the Holder may elect to exercise such rights represented by
this Warrant for any Warrant Shares that have vested pursuant
to Section 7, at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date,
in whole or in part, on a net-issue basis by electing to
receive the number of Warrant Shares which are equal in value
to the value of this Warrant at the time of any such net-issue
exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company
of this Warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of
Net-Issue Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto,
properly marked to indicate (A) the number of Warrant Shares
vested, (B) the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to
Holder, (C) the number of Warrant Shares surrendered by
Holder, (D) the number of Warrant Shares


remaining subject to the Warrant and (F) the calculation of
Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise (each as
determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) hereof).

(ii) In the event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the
rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part on a
net-issue basis pursuant to this Section 1(b), the Company
shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined in accordance with the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)
-------
A

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to
the Holder in connection with such net-issue
exercise.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is being exercised.

A = the Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.

B = the Exercise Price per share in effect as of
the date of such net-issue exercise.

(c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 1, the
"Fair Market Value" of the Common Stock shall mean the average, for the
five trading days ending with the trading day which is two trading days
prior to the date of such exercise, of:

(i) the closing sale price of the Company's
Common Stock sold on the primary national
securities exchange or market on which the
Common Stock may at the time be listed or
traded, or

(ii) if there have been no sales on such exchange
or market on any such trading day, the
average of the highest bid and lowest asked
prices on such exchange or market at the end
of such day shall be used for such day, or

(iii) if on any such trading day the Common Stock
is not quoted on a national exchange or in
the NASDAQ System, the average of the
highest bid and lowest asked price on such
day in the domestic over-the-counter market
as reported by the National Quotation
Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar
successor organization.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder
shall purchase any Warrant Shares
contemporaneously with the closing of a
Change in Control (as defined in Section
2(a)), then the Fair Market Value of one
share of Common Stock shall be the value
received by the holders of the Company's
Common Stock pursuant to such transaction
for each share of Common Stock, and such
purchase shall be effective upon the closing
of such transaction, subject to the due,
proper and prior surrender of this Warrant
and the aggregate Exercise Price applicable
thereto.

More from 8K:

7. VESTING SCHEDULE/EXPIRATION DATE. The number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall vest and become issuable on each
Vesting Date (as defined below) at a rate of one share for every $67 of Net
Revenues (as defined below), for the period of time (the "Period") beginning the
first day following the previous Vesting Date and ending on the current Vesting
Date; provided however, that with respect to the first Vesting Date to occur
such Period shall begin on the date hereof and end on the first Vesting Date.
For purposes of this Warrant, the Vesting Dates shall be June 30, September 30,
December 31 and March 31 of each calendar year beginning June 30, 1999 and
ending September 30, 2002 (each such date referred to herein as the "Vesting
Date"). On October 1, 2002, ("the Vesting Termination Date"), any vesting of the
Warrant Shares shall cease and Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this
Warrant for any remaining unvested Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that the amount of Net Revenues billed to the Holder does not equal or
exceed $10 million (the "Minimum") by the first Vesting Date, then no Warrant
Shares shall vest until the date that the Minimum is met, at which time the
number of Warrant Shares that would have vested, based on the vesting schedule
set forth in the preceding sentences (the "Vesting Schedule"), shall be
immediately vested. Within five (5) business days of the date that the Minimum
is met, the Company shall notify the Holder that the Minimum has been met and
accompany such notice with an accounting report evidencing the amount of Net
Revenues billed to the Holder, the date that the Minimum was met, and the number
of Warrant Shares that have vested. Once the Minimum has been met, the remaining
unvested Warrant Shares shall vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule as if no
Minimum was required. In addition, within 30 calendar days of each Vesting Date,
the Company shall deliver to the Holder a report evidencing the Net Revenues
billed to the Holder for such Period and the number of Warrant Shares that
vested on such Vesting Date. This Warrant shall expire on the date five (5)
years from the date hereof (the "Expiration Date"). After the Expiration Date
the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant that
had not been previously exercised. For purposes of this Section 7, Net Revenues
shall mean for each Period, the sum of all amounts billed to Holder by the
Company for the purchase or license of Products (as defined in the Agreement,
hereafter defined) pursuant to the Product Purchase Agreement between the Holder
and the Company dated the date hereof (the "Agreement") less any credits issued
to the Holder by the Company during such Period which have the effect of
reducing amounts due to the Company by the Holder.

8. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever any Exercise Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall make a certificate signed by its
chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring
the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment the method by which such adjustment
was calculated, the

-6-


Exercise Price or Prices and the number of Warrant Shares excisable hereunder
after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such
certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of
this Warrant.

9. NOTICE OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event that the Company shall
propose at any time to effect a Change in Control, then in connection with such
transaction the Company shall send to the Holder the same notice, proxy
materials or other information that it sends to its shareholders with respect to
such Change in Control at the same time and in the same manner that it sends
such notice and information to its shareholders.

10. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT. Holder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer
any Warrant Shares purchased under this Warrant until the date ending six months
after the date the first Warrant Shares are purchased hereunder except (i)
Holder may transfer any Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to any affiliate of
the Holder and (ii) in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, this
Section 11 shall terminate and any Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be
transferable without restrictions except as provided by Section 3.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.
