Notice of Exercise to purchase  42,000  shares of common  stock of Kontron  (the
"First  Exercise").  Pursuant to the terms of the IWHC Option Agreement and such
Notice of Exercise, IWHC was to acquire 42,000 shares of common stock of Kontron
in exchange  for (i) 500,000  shares of Series C Preferred  Stock of the Issuer,

which together are convertible into 2,303,226 shares of Common Stock.

                  On or about  December  1, 2000,  IWHC  delivered  to Kontron a
Notice of Exercise to purchase  20,000  shares of common  stock of Kontron  (the
"Second Exercise").  Pursuant to the terms of the IWHC Option Agreement and such
Notice of Exercise, IWHC was to acquire 20,000 shares of common stock of Kontron

December  29,  2000  ("Settlement  Agreement").  Pursuant  to the  terms  of the
Settlement  Agreement,  Kontron  (i)  confirmed  that it had  issued  the 42,000

then to deliver such shares  pursuant to  instructions to be received from IWHC,
and (iii) sold an additional  38,000  Kontron  bearer shares to IWHC in exchange
for 1,986,000  shares of Fieldworks  Series B Preferred  Stock.  Such  1,986,000
preferred  shares are  convertible  into 2,068,750  shares of Common Stock.  The

Items 5(a) and 5(b) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a)  The  aggregate  percentage  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
reported and owned by the Reporting  Persons is based upon 14,894,426  shares of

fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2000, plus the 6,000,000  shares of Common Stock

Agreement.

                  As of  the  close  of  business  on  January  2,  2001,  FWRKS
beneficially owned 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting  approximately

vote and  disposition of the 7,163,242  shares of Common Stock owned by Kontron,
and as the sole shareholder of FWRKS,  Kontron has indirect beneficial ownership

                      STOCK SALE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

         This  Agreement  is made as of the 29th day of  December  2000,  by and
between  Industrial-Works  Holding Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("Industrial-Works"),  and Kontron embedded computers AG, a German  corporation,
("Kontron")  with  respect to .hares of  Fieldworks,  Incorporated,  a Minnesota
corporation ("Fieldworks"), and is made in view of the following recitals.

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

         A.  On  or  about   June  29,   2000,   Kontron   issued  in  favor  of
Industrial-Works  an option to purchase  bearer  shares of Kontron in return for
certain  shares of Fieldworks.  This option,  as amended August 16, 2000, is the
"Option."

         B.  Pursuant  to the  Option,  Industrial-Works  exercised  its  "First
Option"  (hereinafter  the "First  Exercise) to purchase 42,000 bearer shares of
Kontron  and  tendered  to Kontron  Certificate  No. 1 for  Fieldworks  Series C
preferred stock of Fieldworks; representing 500,000 shares and Certificate No. 2
for Fieldworks Series B preferred shares representing 1,211,096.77 shares.

         C.  Pursuant  to the  Option,  Industrial-Works  exercised  its "Second
Option"  (hereinafter the "Second Exercise") to purchase 20,000 bearer shares of
Kontron  and  tendered  to Kontron  Certificate  No. 3 for  Fieldworks  Series B
preferred shares representing 1,052,903.23 shares.

         D. In connection  with the First  Exercise,  Industrial-Works  notified
Kontron  that it wished to exercise its rights to receive cash rather than share
certificates  because  share  certificates  were not  delivered  by the deadline
specified in the Option.  The parties have disputed the  applicability  of these
provisions and Kontron does not wish to pay cash upon the First Exercise.

         E. The parties have discussed their  differences,  desire to settle all
of them and,  as part of such  settlement  desire to have  Kontron  acquire  the
remaining Fieldworks Series B preferred stock held by Industrial-Works.

         NOW  THEREFORE,  in  recognition  of  the  foregoing  Recitals  and  in
consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and understandings conveyed in
this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

                  (1)  Delivery of Kontron  Shares for First  Exercise.  Kontron
confirms  that  Industrial-Works  has   exercised  its  rights  under  the First
Exercise. Industrial-Works hereby agrees to surrender its rights to receive cash
in lieu of shares with respect to the First Exercise,  and Kontron confirms that
it has issued  42,000  bearer  shares of Kontron,  no par value,  in the name of
Industrial-Works, and caused these shares
