UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
This is a summary of information appearing elsewhere in this
prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should
consider before investing in our common stock. This summary is qualified in its
entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed
information and financial statements, including the notes to the financial
statements, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus or in our annual and
quarterly reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
References in this prospectus to "we," "us," "Company" and "our" refer to
Universal Display Corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, UDC,
Inc.
Our Company
Universal Display Corporation is engaged in the research, development
and commercialization of organic light emitting diode, or OLED, technology for
use in flat panel displays, lasers and light generating devices. We expect the
initial market for our technology to be in the electronic flat panel display
industry. This industry includes such products as:
o cellular phone displays;
o portable personal digital assistants and Internet access-type
devices;
o laptop computers; and
o television and computer monitors.
Stanford Resources, Inc. estimated the size of the electronic display
market to be approximately $41 billion in 2000. The flat panel part of this
market was approximately $17 billion in 2000.
We have the exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to commercialize
all OLED technology, intellectual property and know-how developed by Princeton
University and the University of Southern California, subject to the terms of
our Sponsored Research Agreement and License Agreement with those universities.
To date, 51 patents have been issued in the United States. Approximately 71
patent applications (with corresponding foreign protection) have been filed, and
additional patents are being filed monthly. We have also obtained a license,
with rights to sublicense, to 70 US patents, approximately 4 US patent
applications, and additional foreign patents related to OLED technology owned by
Motorola, Inc.
Our OLED Technology
Organic light emitting diodes are made of material containing a
carbon-based substance that has the capability to emit light when electric
current is passed through it. We, in collaboration with our research and
development partners, are working towards commercializing innovative OLED
technology, including the following six proprietary OLED technology platforms:
o TOLED(TM) Technology: Our transparent OLED can be used to create
transparent displays for information displays on windshields, cockpit
displays on aircraft and head mounted displays. Transparent organic
light-emitting devices, or TOLEDs, can also be used in numerous
portable electronic applications because of their bright colors, high
contrast, low power requirements and top emission characteristics.
o SOLED(TM) Technology: Unlike traditional side-by-side display
architecture, which places the red, green and blue picture elements,
or pixels, horizontally next to each other, our stacked OLED stacks
the red, green and blue pixels vertically on top of each other. Thus,
to display green in the conventional architecture, you turn off the
red and blue pixels, leaving spaces between each of the illuminated
2
green pixels. With a stacked organic light emitting device, or SOLED,
to display green, you turn off the red and blue sections of the
stacked pixel component. The stacked architecture of the SOLED may
increase the resolution of the display by a factor of three.
o FOLED(TM) Technology: Unlike conventional displays, our flexible
OLEDs can be built on flexible materials such as plastic. We believe
that such displays will be lighter in weight and will have lower
power requirements. The flexible organic light emitting device, or
FOLED, also may provide the opportunity to apply low cost roll to
roll (web processing) technologies to display fabrication, which can
reduce the cost, and therefore expand the market, of electronic flat
panel displays.
o Organic Laser Technology: We and our research partners are attempting
to develop a fourth technology platform based upon the ability to
fabricate an organic laser utilizing OLED technology. In the
September 25, 1997 issue of the scientific journal Nature, our
research partners announced what they believed to be the first
evidence of lasing from vacuum deposited thin films of organic
molecules. We believe this is a significant first step towards the
realization of electrically pumped, solid-state lasers based on
organic thin films.
o High Efficiency PHOLED(TM) Materials: A fifth technology platform
respects the use of molecules that emit light through the process of
phosphorescence. This class of molecules has the potential for higher
efficiency, lower power and longer lifetimes than conventional OLED
technology which involves the emission of light through the process
of fluorescence. We and our research partners first announced this
discovery in the September 10, 1999 issue of Nature.
o Organic Vapor Phase Deposition: A sixth technology platform involves
the use of a carrier gas stream in a hot walled reactor at low vacuum
to precisely deposit the thin layers of organic materials used in
OLED displays. Conventional OLED fabrication equipment evaporates the
organic molecules at high vacuum. We have entered into a Development
and License Agreement with Aixtron AG, a German company that
manufactures precision semiconductor production equipment for LEDs,
to further develop, commercialize and produce manufacturing equipment
for OLEDs based on this technology.
Our Research Partners
Princeton and USC have been performing research on OLED technology for
many years, and have continued that research for us since 1994. The sponsored
research agreement between us and our research partners, which was originally
executed in 1994, was extended in 1997 for five additional years and is subject
to further extension by mutual agreement.
Key members of our research team include Dr. Stephen Forrest at
Princeton and Dr. Mark R. Thomson at USC. There are approximately 20 researchers
at Princeton and USC who are engaged in OLED research. We also fund research in
OLEDs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Chitose
Institute of Technology in Japan.
Our Commercialization Strategy
Our approach to developing technology and penetrating the electronic
display market has four major components:
o We are continuing to fund our research partners under the current
sponsored research agreement and to obtain the worldwide exclusive
rights to all intellectual property invented in the project.
3
o We are working on the development of reliable commercial prototypes
and the optimization of the fabrication processes. In 1999, we moved
into an 11,000 square foot space near Princeton, New Jersey to serve
as a pilot line facility and technology transfer center. In 2001, we
leased an additional 10,000 square feet in our building, which we
plan to start occupying in the fourth quarter of this year.
o We have entered into agreements with an equipment manufacturer,
Aixtron AG; and an organic materials developer and supplier, PPG
Industries, Inc., to further develop and commercialize our
technology, and potentially obtain royalties from the sales of
certain equipment and revenues from the sales of certain materials to
OLED manufacturers.
o We intend to license our proprietary OLED technology and enter into
joint ventures and other strategic alliances with experienced
manufacturers and users of display products for the volume
manufacture, distribution and sale of products based upon this
technology. We do not presently intend to become a volume
manufacturer.
Our Development Partners
We have announced agreements with the following six companies:
o Effective July 23, 2001, we entered into a Joint Development Agreement with
Samsung SDI Co. Ltd. to develop low-power, full-color active matrix OLED
displays. The initial focus of the agreement will be on the development of
portable OLED displays for use in mobile telephones, personal digital
assistants, electronic games and other consumer and industry electronics.
Pursuant to the development program, we will combine our proprietary OLED
materials and technology with Samsung's active matrix technology.
o Effective April 19, 2001, we entered into a Development and License Agreement
with Luxell Technologies, Inc. Under the agreement, the parties will cooperate
in the development of one or more high-contrast, high-efficiency OLED displays
integrating our TOLED technology and Luxell's Black Layer(TM) technology.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Luxell has obtained a royalty-bearing
license to our TOLED technology and high efficiency materials for use in Black
Layer TOLED displays that may be manufactured, marketed or sold. We will be
the licensor of the combined Black Layer TOLED technology, and the parties
will share in the revenues from such licensing activities.
o Effective February 1, 2001, we entered into a Joint Development Agreement with
Sony Corporation to develop active matrix OLED display devices for use in
large area monitor applications. By combining our proprietary
electrophosphorescent materials with Sony's proprietary low temperature poly
silicon active matrix OLED technology, the parties will seek to develop high
power efficiency OLED displays.
o Effective October 1, 2000, we entered into a Development and License Agreement
with PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) to leverage our OLED flat panel display
technology with PPG's expertise in organic materials development and
manufacturing. A team of PPG scientists and engineers will assist us in
developing and commercializing our proprietary OLED system. Present staffing
levels will provide the full time services of 7 PPG employees, plus managerial
services. Based upon current staffing levels, we anticipate issuing to PPG
approximately 114,000 shares of common stock annually for the period from
January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2005. In addition, we anticipate issuing
to PPG annually warrants to purchase up to an additional 114,000 shares of our
common stock over the period from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2005.
The amount of equity to be obtained by PPG under the agreement is subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances. PPG's services have an estimated value
of approximately $11 million. PPG also has the right to request that we grant
royalty bearing licenses to PPG for use of our OLED technology in certain
applications.
4
We also entered into a Supply Agreement with PPG whereby PPG will be the
exclusive supplier of our proprietary materials through December 31, 2007. PPG
will sell the materials to us, and we will resell them to OLED manufacturers.
o Effective September 29, 2000, we entered into a License Agreement with
Motorola, Inc., whereby we obtained the rights, with the right to sublicense,
to 70 US patents, 4 pending US patents, and certain foreign patents of
Motorola, Inc., related to OLEDs. Our agreement with Motorola also includes
the opportunity to meet with their product development group, although there
are no assurances that Motorola will purchase any products from the Company or
its licensees, or use any of the Company's technology in their products. In
connection with the rights granted to the Company under the agreement, we
issued to Motorola 200,000 shares of common stock, 300,000 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (each share convertible into one share of common
stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, and vesting 75,000
shares per year), and Warrants to purchase an additional 150,000 shares.
o Effective July 19, 2000, we entered into a Development and License Agreement
with Aixtron AG of Germany to further develop and commercialize manufacturing
equipment for OLEDs based on our proprietary technology called Organic Vapor
Phase Deposition (OVPD). Aixtron AG is a world leader in the production of
manufacturing equipment for LEDs using MOCVD (Metal-organic chemical vapor
deposition) technology. Under the agreement, the Company and Aixtron will
engage in a joint development program to commercialize OVPD equipment. Aixtron
has the exclusive license to produce equipment based on this technology, and
we will receive a royalty from the sale of the equipment.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In
addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, you should
carefully consider the following risk factors before making an investment
decision concerning our common stock. You should not purchase our common stock
if you cannot afford the loss of your entire investment.
We do not expect to be profitable in the foreseeable future, and may never be
profitable.
Since inception, we have not generated any product revenues, and have
incurred significant losses, resulting in an accumulated deficit of
approximately $36.8 million, as of June 30, 2001. We expect to incur losses for
the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve
sufficient levels of revenue from the commercial exploitation of the OLED
technology to support our operations. You should note, however, that:
o OLED technology may never become commercially viable;
o markets for flat panel displays utilizing the OLED technology may be
limited; and
o we may never generate sufficient revenues from the commercial
exploitation of the OLED technology to become profitable.
Additionally, even if we find commercially viable applications for our OLED
technology, we may never recover our research and development costs.
5
If we do not receive additional financing in the future, we will not be able
continue the research, development and commercialization of our OLED technology.
Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant.
The completion of the research, development and commercialization of the OLED
technology for potential applications will require significant additional effort
and resources. Our cash on hand is not sufficient to meet all of our future
obligations. When we need additional funds, such funds may not be available on
commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain more money when we
need it, our business might fail. Additionally, if we attempt to raise money in
an offering of our common stock, the issuance of additional stock will dilute
our then existing shareholders.
If our OLED technology is not feasible for product applications, we may never
generate significant revenues.
At this time, we are unable to determine the feasibility of our OLED
technology for the commercial viability of any potential applications. We must
make substantial advances in our research and development efforts in a number of
areas including:
o reliability;
o the development of more fully saturated colors for full color
displays;
o integration with drive electronics; and
o issues related to scalability and cost effective fabrication
technologies for product applications
before products utilizing the OLED technology are manufactured and sold. The
development of an electrically pumped laser is also necessary before products
based on the organic laser research are manufactured and sold. Our efforts may
never demonstrate the feasibility of our OLED technology, particularly for use
in full color, large area, high resolution, high information content flat panel
display applications.
Our research and development efforts remain subject to all of the risks
associated with the development of new products based on emerging and innovative
technologies, including, without limitation, unanticipated technical or other
problems and the possible insufficiency of the funds allocated to complete its
development. Technical problems may result in delays and cause us to incur
additional expenses that would increase our losses. If we cannot complete our
research and development of the OLED technology successfully, or if we
experience delays in completing our research and development of the OLED
technology for use in potential applications, particularly after the occurrence
of significant expenditures, our business may fail.
Even if our technology is technically feasible, it may not be accepted by the
market.
The potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities
targeted by us are uncertain at this time. Market acceptance of the OLED
technology will depend, in part, upon such technology providing benefits
comparable to CRT and LCD technology (the current standard for display quality)
at an appropriate cost, and its adoption by consumers, neither of which have
been achieved. Many potential licensees of the OLED technology manufacture flat
panel displays utilizing competing technologies and may, therefore, be reluctant
to redesign their products or manufacturing processes to incorporate the OLED
technology. Potential licensees may never utilize the commercially viable OLED
technology.
If our research partners fail to make advances in their research, or if they
terminate their relationship with us, we might not succeed in commercializing
our OLED technology.
Research and development of commercially viable applications for OLED
technology is dependent on the success of the research efforts of our research
partners conducted under our sponsored research agreement with them. We cannot
assure you that our research partners will make additional advances in the
research and development of the OLED technology.
6
Although we fund the OLED technology research, the scope of and
technical aspects of the research as well as the resources and efforts directed
to such research is subject to the control of our research partners. Our
sponsored research agreement provides that if Dr. Forrest is unavailable to
continue to serve as a principal investigator, either because he is no longer
associated with Princeton or otherwise, and a successor acceptable to both us
and Princeton is not available, Princeton has the right to terminate the
sponsored research agreement. The 1997 sponsored research agreement, which
expires in July 2002, may not be extended. The termination or expiration of the
sponsored research agreement or the 1997 license agreement would materially and
adversely affect our ability to research, develop and commercialize our OLED
technology.
If we cannot form strategic licensing relationships with companies that
manufacture and use products that incorporate our OLED technology, our
commercialization strategy will fail.
Our strategic plan depends upon the development of strategic licensing
relationships with high volume companies that will manufacture and use products
incorporating its OLED technology. We have not yet entered into any such
strategic relationships, although we have entered into
o a Joint Development Agreement with Samsung SDI Co. Ltd.;
o a Joint Development Agreement with Sony Corporation;
o a Development and License Agreement with PPG Industries, Inc.;
o a Development and License Agreement with Luxell Technologies Inc.;
and
o a Development and Licensing Agreement with Aixtron AG to develop and
commercialize a new type of production equipment for OLEDs based upon
our proprietary technology.
Our agreement with Motorola also includes the opportunity to meet with their
product development group, although there are no assurances that Motorola will
purchase any products from us or our licensees. Our agreements with PPG provide
us with the capability to sell chemicals to our licensees. In December 1999, we
moved into a new facility which includes a prototype pilot line and technology
transfer facility to accelerate the development and commercialization of our
technology, We cannot assure you that such a facility will allow us to enter
into such strategic relationships.
Our prospects will be significantly affected by our ability to
sublicense the OLED technology and successfully develop strategic alliances with
third parties for incorporation of the OLED technology into flat panel displays
manufactured by others. Strategic alliances may require financial or other
commitments by us. We might not be able, for financial or other reasons, to
enter into strategic alliances on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.
Failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on us.
If we cannot protect our intellectual property rights, or if our technology
infringes the rights of others, our business will suffer.
Our rights to the OLED technology are dependent on patents and other
intellectual property rights relating to the OLED technology that are licensed
to us by Princeton and USC. Fifty-one U.S. patents have already been issued,
approximately 71 additional patent applications are pending in the United States
and many corresponding international patent applications have been filed to
cover major industrial countries. However, there can be no assurance that
additional patents applied for will be obtained or that any such patents will
afford us commercially significant protection of our OLED technology, or will be
found valid if challenged. In connection with our license agreement with
Motorola, Inc., we have obtained a license to 70 additional OLED-related U.S.
patents, 4 patent applications, related foreign patents and applications, and
the right to sublicense this technology.
7
The patent laws of other countries may differ from those of the United
States as to the patentability of the OLED technology and the degree of
protection afforded. Older companies and institutions may independently develop
equivalent or superior technologies and may obtain patent or similar rights with
respect thereto. There are a number of other companies and organizations that
have been issued patents and are filing additional patent applications relating
to OLED technology, including Eastman Kodak Corporation, which holds a number of
patents related to OLED technology. There can be no assurance that the exercise
of some aspects of our licensing rights respecting its OLED technology being
developed by Princeton and USC or those licensed from Motorola, Inc. will not
infringe on the patents of others, in which event we or our research partners
may be required to obtain a license, pay damages, modify their products or
method of operation or be prohibited from making, using, selling or offering to
sell some or all products incorporating our OLED technology. We also might not
have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent
infringement action, and the licensors of our licensed technology might not
enforce an action in a timely manner. If products incorporating our OLED
technology are found to infringe upon the patent or other intellectual property
rights of others, it could have a material adverse effect on us.
The federal government has rights to our OLED technology that might prevent us
from realizing its benefits.
The United States government, through the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency, has provided funding to Princeton and us for research
activities related to certain aspects of its OLED technology. The federal
government could obtain rights to this technology, which would affect our rights
as follows:
o If all or certain aspects of the OLED technology develop from our
funding to Princeton, and those aspects are deemed to fall within the
planned and committed activities of DARPA's funding, the federal
government, pursuant to federal law, could have certain rights
relating to the OLED technology.
o If the federal government determines that we have not taken effective
steps to achieve practical application of such technology in a field
of use in a reasonable time, it may require us to grant licenses to
other parties in any such field of use.
o The federal government could restrict our ability to market the OLED
technology to the federal government for military and other
applications.
o The federal government's continued funding of ours and Princeton's
research activities may also give it rights to aspects of the OLED
technology developed in the future.
If so, we might not realize the benefits of that technology.
Because many of our competitors have better name-recognition, and greater
financial, technical, marketing and research capabilities than us, we may never
be able to compete successfully in the flat panel display industry.
The flat panel display industry is characterized by intense
competition. The market is currently, and will likely continue to be, dominated
by products utilizing LCD technology. Numerous companies are making substantial
investments in, and conducting research to improve characteristics of, LCD
technology. Several other flat panel display technologies have been, or are
being, developed, including field emission, inorganic electroluminescence,
polymeric light emitting diode, gas plasma and vacuum fluorescent displays. In
addition, other companies are engaged in research and development activities
with respect to technology using OLEDs. Advances in LCD technology or any of
these developing technologies may overcome their limitations or become the
leading technology for flat panel displays, either of which could limit the
potential market for flat panel displays utilizing the Company's OLED
technology.

Substantially all of these competitors have better name recognition and
greater financial, technical, marketing, personnel and research capabilities
than us. Our competitors may succeed in developing technologies and applications
that are more cost-effective or have fewer display limitations than our OLED
technology. We may never be able to compete successfully or develop commercial
applications for our OLED technology.
If we cannot keep our key employees or hire other talented persons as we grow,
our business might not succeed.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services of
senior management and other key personnel, and its ability to offer competitive
salaries and benefits to its employees. We do not have employment agreements
with any of our management or key personnel. Additionally, competition for
highly skilled technical, managerial and other personnel is intense. We might
not be able to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate the highly skilled
managers and employees we need to be successful. If we fail to attract and
retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel, we will suffer and
might fail.
We can issue shares of preferred stock that can adversely affect your rights as
a shareholder.
Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined
from time-to-time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board is
empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of our common
shareholders. For example, an issuance of shares of preferred stock could:
o adversely affect the voting power of the common shareholders;
o make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of us;
o discourage bids for our common stock at a premium; or
o otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
Our board has designated and issued: (a) 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, all of which are held by an entity controlled by Sherwin Seligsohn; (b)
300,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (c) 5,000 shares of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which have been exchanged for
shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock; and (d) 5,000 shares of Series
C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. All of the shares of Series A Stock, Series B
Stock and Series C-1 Stock are convertible into shares of our common stock in
accordance with our articles of incorporation. In addition, our board has
designated 5,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock that we expect
to issue following the effective date of this Registration Statement. The Series
D Stock will be convertible into shares of our common stock in accordance with
our articles of incorporation. The Series C-1 Stock and Series D Stock will
automatically convert into common stock on the 5th trading day after the
effective date of this Registration Statement, subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions. See the risk factor under the heading "This offering, as
well as the issuance of other publicly traded shares, could drive our stock
price down" for more information regarding the Series C-1 Stock and Series D
Stock. We may issue additional shares of our authorized preferred stock at any
time in the future.
The market price of our common stock might be highly volatile.
The market price of our common stock might be highly volatile, as has
been the case with the securities of other emerging growth companies. Factors
such as:
o our operating results;
o announcements by us or our competitors of technological developments,
new product applications or license arrangements; and
9
o other factors affecting the flat panel display industry generally may
have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock.
In recent years, the stock market has experienced a high level of price and
volume volatility and market prices for the stock of many companies,
particularly small and emerging-growth companies.
If our shares are delisted, you might not be able to sell your investment in our
company.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market System. To
continue to be listed on that market, however, we must maintain, with certain
exceptions, maintenance criteria, including:
o specified levels for total assets;
o market value of the public float;
o total capital and surplus; and
o a minimum bid price per share.
The failure to meet such maintenance criteria in the future may result in the
delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq National Market System.
Thereafter, trading, if any, in our common stock would be conducted in the
non-Nasdaq over-the-counter market. As a result of such delisting, you could
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the
market value of, our common stock.
If our shares are delisted, trading in our common stock may become subject to
additional regulation that could further limit the liquidity of your investment.
If our common stock were to become delisted from trading on Nasdaq and
the trading price of the common stock were to remain below $5.00 per share,
trading in the common stock would also be subject to the requirements of
additional rules under the Exchange Act. These rules require additional
disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving any
non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. Such rules require the delivery, prior to any
so-called penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny
stock market and the risks associated with it, and impose various sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions,
the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction
prior to sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to
the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if
the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this
fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Such information
must be provided to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the
transaction and in writing before or with the customer confirmation. Monthly
statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock
held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The
additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may
discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which
could severely limit the market liquidity of your investment.
This offering, as well as the issuance of other publicly traded shares, could
drive our stock price down.
On August 22, 2001, we completed a private placement transaction in
which we sold shares of our convertible preferred stock, three-year convertible
promissory notes and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to two of
the selling shareholders, Pine Ridge Financial Inc. and Strong River
Investments, Inc. In addition, Pine Ridge and Strong River agreed to purchase
additional shares of convertible preferred stock from us. As part of that
transaction, we are currently registering for resale the shares issuable upon
the conversion of the preferred stock (including the preferred stock that we
10
have not yet sold) and the exercise of the warrants. Sales of substantial
amounts of common stock in the public market as a result of this offering could
reduce the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us
and our shareholders to sell our equity securities in the future. Following the
effectiveness of this Registration Statement, the 2,737,620 shares of common
stock offered by the selling shareholders will become freely salable in the
public market. This includes 533,502 shares that may be issuab1e upon the
conversion of outstanding shares of our Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock,
529,100 shares that may be issuable upon the conversion of shares of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock to be sold by us after the effectiveness of this
Registration Statement, 930,566 shares that may be issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding warrants, and an additional 744,452 shares that may be issuable upon
the exercise of warrants granted to Pine Ridge and Strong River, if adjustments
are made to the exercise prices of such warrants. All outstanding shares of
Series C-1 Stock and Series D Stock will automatically convert into common stock
on the 5th trading day after the effective date of this Registration Statement,
if the following conditions are met on that date:
o we have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved shares of our common stock available to issue upon the
conversion of the Series C-1 Stock and the Series D Stock;
o our common stock is listed or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or
other national stock exchange;
o the issuance of our common stock upon the conversion of the Series
C-1 Stock and Series D Stock is permitted in full without violating
the rules of the Nasdaq National Market;
o the issuance of our common stock upon the conversion of the Series
C-1 Stock and Series D Stock would not result in Pine Ridge and
Strong River then beneficially owning in excess of 9.999% of the
number of shares of our common stock then outstanding; and
o we are not in default of a material provision of an agreement entered
into or security issued as part of the August 22, 2001 private
placement transaction.
If the conditions set forth above are not satisfied on the 5th trading day after
the effective date of this Registration Statement, then the shares of Series C-1
Stock and Series D Stock shall automatically convert into shares of common stock
on the first date thereafter on which these conditions are satisfied. If,
however, the conditions set forth above are not satisfied by the third
anniversary of the respective original issuance date of the Series C-1 Stock and
Series D Stock, then the holders of the Series C-1 Stock and Series D Stock, as
applicable, may require us to repurchase their shares of Series C-1 Stock and
Series D Stock for an amount equal to the aggregate stated value of such shares.
The number of shares offered by the selling shareholders includes
substantially more than the number of shares to which they are currently
eligible to receive upon the exercise of the warrants. We are registering for
resale more shares than are currently issuable under the warrants pursuant to
contractual obligations with certain selling shareholders and to ensure that a
sufficient number of shares is registered in the event that adjustments, if any,
are made to the exercise prices of the warrants. See "THE OFFERING" on page 14.
Material terms of the preferred stock and warrants are explained below.
Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
We issued 5,000 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in
the private placement transaction completed on August 22, 2001. All of the
Series C Shares were subsequently exchanged for shares of our Series C-1
Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Series C-1 Stock are not entitled to
voting rights except as otherwise required by law. Each share of Series C-1
Stock has an initial stated value of $1,008.32, which increases by $4.16 for
each month that such share is outstanding.
The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of a
share of Series C-1 Stock equals the quotient obtained by dividing the stated
value of one share of Series C-1 Stock by the then-applicable conversion price
11
thereof. The initial conversion price of the Series C-1 Stock is $9.45, which
may change in the future based on certain anti-dilution and other adjustments
explained below. All outstanding shares of Series C-1 Stock will automatically
convert into common stock on the 5th trading day after the effective date of
this Registration Statement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
If the conditions described below are met, on the 3rd trading day after
this Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, Pine Ridge and
Strong River will purchase an aggregate of 5,000 shares of a new series of our
preferred stock, which will be called Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. None
of the conditions to the sale of the Series D Stock are within the control of
either Pine Ridge or Strong River.
In the event, however, that any of the following conditions has not
been satisfied or waived by Pine Ridge or Strong River on or before the closing
date of the sale of the Series D Stock, then Pine Ridge and Strong River, as
applicable, will not be obligated to purchase any shares of Series D Stock:
o No change of control of the Company shall have occurred since August
22, 2001;
o If any shares of Series C-1 Stock or convertible promissory notes
sold in the August 22, 2001 private placement had been converted, or
if any warrants granted to the investors in the August 22, 2001
private placement had been exercised, we must have timely delivered
any shares of common stock issuable thereunder;
o We must have filed an amendment to our articles of incorporation
designating the rights and preferences of the Series D Stock; and
o We will not need to obtain approval from our shareholders in order to
issue the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon
the conversion of our Series C-1 Stock, Series D Stock and
convertible promissory notes and upon the exercise of the warrants
that were issued and sold in the August 22, 2001 private placement.
Pine Ridge and Strong River may elect to not purchase the Series D
Stock if this Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC
by December 12, 2001.
The initial conversion price of the Series D Stock will equal $9.45.
The initial conversion price of the Series D Stock may change in the future
based on certain anti-dilution and other adjustments explained below. Holders of
Series D Stock will not be entitled to voting rights except as otherwise
required by law. Each share of Series D Stock will have a stated value of
$1,000, which will increase by $4.16 for each month that such share is
outstanding. All outstanding shares of Series D Stock will automatically convert
into common stock on the 5th trading day after the effective date of this
Registration Statement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Warrants
o Warrants to purchase 429,492 shares of our common stock have an
exercise price of $15.24 per share, which may change in the future based on
certain anti-dilution and other adjustments explained below, and expire on
August 21, 2011. These warrants were granted as part of a private placement
transaction undertaken for capital raising purposes. While these warrants are
exercisable immediately, they may not be exercised to the extent that a holder
thereof would then own, together with its affiliates, more than 4.999% of our
common stock then outstanding. A warrant holder may waive the 4.999% limitation
on ownership by giving us 61 days' prior written notice. In no event, however,
can the warrants be exercised to the extent that Pine Ridge or Strong River
would then own, together with its respective affiliates, more than 9.999% of the
shares of our common stock then outstanding.
12
o Warrants to purchase 314,960 shares of our common stock have an
exercise price of $9.9225 per share, which may change in the future based on
certain anti-dilution and other adjustments explained below, and expire on
August 21, 2011. These warrants were granted as part of a private placement
transaction undertaken for capital raising purposes. Of these warrants, warrants
to purchase 157,480 shares of common stock are exercisable commencing on the
earlier of (x) the closing of the sale of the Series D Stock or (y) August 22,
2004. The remaining warrants to purchase 157,480 shares of common stock are
exercisable immediately. However, the warrants may not be exercised to the
extent that a holder thereof would then own, together with its affiliates, more
than 4.999% of our common stock then outstanding. A warrant holder may waive the
4.999% limitation on ownership by giving us 61 days' prior written notice. In no
event, however, can the warrants be exercised to the extent that Pine Ridge or
Strong River would then own, together with its respective affiliates, more than
9.999% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding.
o Warrants to purchase 186,114 shares of our common stock have an
exercise price of $15.24 per share, which may change in the future based on
certain anti-dilution and other adjustments explained below, and expire on
August 21, 2008. These warrants were granted as placement agent fees.
Adjustment Features of Conversion and Exercise Prices
If we sell stock at a price per share that is below either the
then-applicable conversion price of the preferred stock or convertible notes, or
below the exercise price of the warrants issued in the August 22, 2001 private
placement transaction, then the conversion or exercise price, as applicable, of
these shares of preferred stock, notes and warrants may adjust downward. The
number of additional shares of common stock to which the holders of these
securities would be entitled depends on the price at which we sell our stock. In
addition, if we require a holder of a convertible promissory note to convert
more than $1.5 million of the principal amount of its note, then the exercise
price of warrants to purchase 429,492 shares at an exercise price of $15.24 per
share may be reduced to equal 110% of the then-applicable conversion price of
the relevant note. Finally, if we require the conversion of the promissory
notes, the conversion price of the notes will be reduced to the lower of (x) the
then-applicable conversion price or (y) an amount equal to 87% of the average of
the VWAP for the 12 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day
immediately prior to the date on which such conversion is effectuated (subject
to a floor equal to the product of (A) .87 and (B) 90% of the VWAP on the date
on which we notified the holder of our election to require conversion of the
notes). As a result of the foregoing, we may be required to issue more shares of
common stock upon the conversion and exercise of the securities issued or
issuable as part of the August 22, 2001 private placement transaction.
If the price of our common stock decreased substantially and we sold
shares at a price lower than the conversion or exercise prices of the securities
issued or issuable as part of the August 22, 2001 private placement, the
issuance of a greater number of shares under those securities could have an
effect on the control of our company. However, these securities cannot be
converted or exercised to the extent that Pine Ridge or Strong River would then
own, together with its respective affiliates, more than 9.999% of the shares of
our common stock then outstanding.
Although the sale of these additional shares to the public might
increase the liquidity of our shareholders' investments, the increase in the
number of shares available for public sale could drive the price of our common
stock down, thus reducing the value of your investment and perhaps hindering our
ability to raise additional funds in the future. In addition, to the extent
other restricted shares become freely salable, whether through an effective
registration statement or under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or we issue
additional shares that might be or become freely salable, you could expect our
stock price to decrease.
13
If our stock price goes down, we may have to issue more shares than we
anticipate under the terms of a license and development agreement.
Pursuant to the development and license agreement we entered into with
PPG Industries, Inc., we are required to issue to PPG, for the services they
expect to render to us during a particular calendar year during the term of the
agreement, shares of common stock based on the value of such services at the
beginning of the year. If, at the time of issuance, the price of our common
stock has declined materially since the date we executed the agreement with PPG,
we may be required to issue to PPG more shares of common stock than we initially
anticipated. This increase in the number of shares available for public sale
could cause people to sell our shares, including in short sales, which could
drive the price of our common stock down, thus reducing the value of your
investment and perhaps hindering our ability to raise additional funds in the
future. In addition, this increase in the number of shares outstanding would
further dilute our existing stockholders.
Our executive officers and directors own a large percentage of our voting stock
and could exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder
approval after this offering, including takeover attempts.
Our executive officers and directors, and their respective affiliates,
own as of October 30, 2001 approximately 12.3% of our outstanding common stock.
Moreover, Pine Ridge Financial Inc. and Strong River Investments, Inc. assigned
to management of the Company their rights to vote the shares of common stock
issuable upon the conversion of the preferred stock, notes and warrants issued
or to be issued to them in a August 22, 2001 private placement transaction.
Accordingly, these shareholders and members of management may, as a practical
matter, be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring approval
by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of
mergers or other business combinations. This concentration could also have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.
THE OFFERING
The 2,737,620 shares of our common stock being offered by the selling
shareholders. These shares consist of the following shares:
o 533,502 shares of common stock that may be issuable upon the
conversion of the Series C-1 Stock;
o 529,100 shares of common stock that may be issuable upon the
conversion of the Series D Stock;
o 930,566 shares of common stock that may be issuable upon the exercise
of outstanding warrants; and
o 744,452 shares that may be issuable upon the exercise of warrants
granted to Pine Ridge and Strong River, if adjustments are made to
the exercise prices of such warrants.
We previously issued the warrants in a private placement transaction on
August 22, 2001. We also issued shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
in the August 22, 2001 private placement, all of which were subsequently
exchanged for shares of our Series C-1 Stock on November 2, 2001. Pursuant to
the terms of the private placement, if certain conditions are met, two of the
selling shareholders, Pine Ridge and Strong River, are obligated to purchase
shares of Series D Stock on the 3rd trading day after the effective date of this
Registration Statement.
Of the 2,737,620 shares of our common stock being offered by the
selling shareholders, Pine Ridge and Strong River are offering an aggregate of
2,551,506 shares. The number of shares offered by Pine River and Strong River,
however, includes substantially more than the number of shares currently
issuable to Pine Ridge and Strong River upon: (a) the conversion of shares of
Series C-1 Stock; (b) the conversion of shares of Series D Stock; and (c) the
14
exercise of the warrants because, pursuant to our contractual obligations with
Pine Ridge and Strong River, we are registering more than the number of shares
currently issuable under the warrants. Pine Ridge and Strong River may receive
more shares than they are currently entitled to receive upon exercise of the
warrants because the exercise prices of the warrants are subject to
anti-dilution and other adjustments.
The selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus may sell the
shares of common stock offered for resale in a secondary offering. Under the
terms of the transactions described above, we are contractually required to
register all of the shares of common stock that are described above.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling shareholders will receive the proceeds from the resale of
the shares of common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of
the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial
ownership of shares of common stock by the selling shareholders as of October
30, 2001, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. The
shares of common stock issuable upon (i) conversion of preferred stock, (ii)
conversion of convertible notes, or (iii) exercise of warrants, currently
convertible or exercisable within 60 days after October 30, 2001, are deemed
outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the selling shareholders holding
such preferred stock, convertible notes or warrants. However, Pine Ridge
Financial, Inc. and Strong River Investments, Inc. are prohibited from using any
shares of preferred stock, convertible notes or warrants to acquire shares of
common stock to the extent that such acquisition would result in Pine Ridge
and/or Strong River, together with any of their respective affiliates,
beneficially owning in excess of 9.999% of our common stock outstanding after
such acquisition. Except as otherwise noted below, none of the selling
stockholders has held any position or office, or has had any other material
relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years.
The percentage of ownership for each selling shareholder disclosed in
this table is based on 17,047,080 shares of common stock outstanding as of
October 30, 2001, plus any common stock equivalents held by that holder. Both
the number of shares listed as being offered by the selling shareholders in the
table and the holders' respective percentages of share ownership after the
offering are based on the assumptions that all of the shares being offered are
sold pursuant to this offering, and that no other shares of common stock are
acquired or disposed of by the selling shareholders prior to the termination of
this offering. Because the selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of
their shares or may acquire or dispose of other shares of common stock, we
cannot estimate the aggregate number of shares that will be sold in this
offering or the number or percentage of shares of common stock that each selling
shareholder will own upon completion of this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for
its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o to cover short sales effected after the date hereof;
o broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and
o any combination of any of the above methods.
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling shareholders may also engage in short sales against the
box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of
our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
The selling shareholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling shareholder defaults on a
margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for
other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer
acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
17
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Chapter 17, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law
of 1988, as amended (the "PBCL") contains provisions permitting indemnification
of officers and directors of a business corporation in Pennsylvania.
Sections 1741 and 1742 of the PBCL provide that a business corporation
may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities and expenses they may
incur as such in connection with any threatened, pending or completed civil,
administrative or investigative proceeding, provided that the particular person
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. In general, the power to indemnify under these sections does not exist
in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the
corporation if the person otherwise entitled to indemnification shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless it is judicially determined
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for
specified expenses.
Section 1743 of the PBCL provides that the corporation is required to
indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending
actions against them in such capacities if they are successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of such actions.
Section 1746 of the PBCL grants a corporation broad authority to
indemnify its directors and officers for liabilities and expenses incurred in
such capacity, except in circumstances where the act or failure to act giving
rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have
constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Section 1747 of the PBCL permits a corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
representative of another corporation or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Chapter 17
Subchapter D of the PBCL.
II-1
The Registrant's Bylaws provide a right to indemnification to the full
extent permitted by law, for expenses (including attorney's fees), damages,
punitive damages, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer whether or not the
indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed
proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant (a derivative action) by reason
of the fact that such director or officer is or was serving as a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or, at the request of the
Registrant, as a director, officer, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise, unless the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for
indemnification is financially determined by a court to have constituted willful
misconduct or recklessness. The Bylaws provide for the advancement of expenses
to an indemnified party upon receipt of an undertaking by the party to repay
those amounts if it is finally determined that the indemnified party is not
entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant's Bylaws authorize the Registrant to take steps to
ensure that all persons entitled to indemnification are properly indemnified,
including, if the Board of Directors so determines, purchasing and maintaining
insurance.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total
II-3
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

STATEMENT OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES C-1
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION, a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that the following resolutions were adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 1522 of the
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, as amended (the "BCL"):
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board
of Directors pursuant to the provisions of the BCL and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, the Corporation is authorized to issue, out of the
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share, of the
Corporation authorized in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a
series of preferred stock to be designated as "Series C-1 Convertible Preferred
Stock," $.01 par value per share, with the following preferences, limitations,
and special rights:
1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. The series of preferred stock
shall be designated as the Company's Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares so designated shall be 5,000. Each
share of Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $.01 per share and a stated
value initially equal to $1,008.32 as increased from time to time pursuant to
Section 4 below (the "Stated Value").
2. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Certificate of Designations, (a) the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto shall
have the meanings indicated therein, and (b) the following terms have the
meanings indicated:
"Company" means Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation.
"Conversion Price" means $9.45, as adjusted pursuant to
Section 15 hereof.
"Equity Conditions" means, with respect to a specified
issuance of Common Stock, that each of the following conditions is
satisfied: (i) the number of authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved shares of Common Stock is sufficient for such issuance; (ii)
such shares of Common Stock are registered for resale by the Holders
pursuant to an effective Conversion Shares Registration Statement or
all such shares may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act; (iii) the Common Stock is listed
or quoted (and is not suspended from trading) on an Eligible Market;
(iv) such issuance would be permitted in full without violating Section
16 hereof or the rules or regulations of any Trading Market; and (v)
the Company is not in default with respect to any material obligation
hereunder or under (A) any other agreement between the Company and any
Holder, dated as of August 22, 2001, as may hereafter be amended;
including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement and the Notes or
(B) any instrument or security issued pursuant to any of the agreements
referred to in the preceding clause (A).
"Holder" means any holder of Preferred Stock.
"Junior Securities" means the Common Stock and all other
equity or equity equivalent securities of the Company other than those
securities that are outstanding on the Original Issue Date and are
explicitly senior in dividend rights or liquidation preference to the
Preferred Stock; except that any shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock and any shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
issued pursuant to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall not
be Junior Securities but shall rank pari passu with the Preferred
Stock.
"Original Issue Date" means the date of the first issuance of
any shares of the Preferred Stock regardless of the number of transfers
of any particular shares of Preferred Stock and regardless of the
number of certificates that may be issued to evidence such Preferred
Stock.
"Purchase Agreement" means the Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated August 22, 2001, among the Company and the original purchasers of
the Preferred Stock.
3. Dividends.
(a) Holders shall not be entitled to receive dividends on the
Preferred Stock.
4. Stated Value. The "Stated Value" shall be increased by $4.16 on the
last day of each month beginning on November 30, 2001.
5. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the Holders shall
be entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,000 for each share of Preferred
Stock, payable out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital
or surplus, and before any distribution or payment may be made to the holders of
any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay such
amounts in full, then the entire amount of assets to be distributed shall be
distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the amount each Holder
would have received if such assets were sufficient to pay all such amounts in
full. The Company shall provide notice of any Liquidation or Change of Control
to each record Holder on the earlier of the day on which the Company (a)
publicly announces such event or proposed action, or (b) notifies its
shareholders of such event or proposed action. At the request of any Holder,
which must be delivered prior to the effective date of a Change of Control (or,
if later, within five Trading Days after such Holder receives notice of such
Change of Control from the Company), such Change of Control will be treated as a
Liquidation with respect to such Holder.
2
6. No Payments on Junior Securities. So long as any Preferred Stock is
outstanding, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or
indirectly, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities or set
aside any monies for such a redemption, purchase or other acquisition, and (ii)
the Company shall not pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on
any Junior Securities, except stock dividends on the Common Stock payable in
additional shares of Common Stock and dividends due and paid in the ordinary
course on preferred stock of the Company at such times as the Company is in
compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder.
7. Registration of Preferred Stock. The Company shall register shares
of the Preferred Stock, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose (the "Preferred Stock Register"), in the name of the record Holders
thereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of shares of Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of
any conversion hereof or any distribution to such Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
8. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer
of any shares of Preferred Stock in the Preferred Stock Register, upon surrender
of certificates evidencing such shares to the Company at its address specified
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the
shares of Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a
new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so
transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
9. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at Option of Holder. At the option of any Holder, any
Preferred Stock held by such Holder may be converted into Common Stock based on
the then-applicable Conversion Price. A Holder may convert Preferred Stock into
Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph at any time and from time to time after
the Original Issue Date and prior to August 22, 2004, by delivering to the
Company a conversion notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a
"Conversion Notice"), appropriately completed and duly signed, and the date any
such Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance
with the notice provisions hereof) is a "Conversion Date." A Holder shall
simultaneously deliver a copy of the Conversion Notice to the Transfer Agent;
provided, however, a Holder's failure to deliver such a copy shall not render
such Conversion Notice invalid or ineffective.
(b) Conversion at Option of Company. If, at any time after the
Effective Date, the Closing Price for twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days
exceeds 135% of the Conversion Price (the "Threshold Price"), the Company may
require the Holders to convert all of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock
based on the then-applicable Conversion Price. The Company may require a
conversion pursuant to this paragraph by delivering irrevocable written notice
3
of such election to the Holders, and the thirtieth Trading Day after the date
any such notice is delivered to the Holders (as determined in accordance with
the notice provisions hereof) will be the "Conversion Date" for such required
conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not require any
conversion under this paragraph (and any notice thereof will be void), unless
from the beginning of the period of twenty consecutive Trading Days through the
Conversion Date, the Equity Conditions (except for the condition set forth in
Section 16(a), which need not be satisfied for this purpose) are satisfied with
respect to all of the Underlying Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of
all outstanding Preferred Stock.
(c) Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding Section 16(a) hereof or
any other provision to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the
satisfaction of the Equity Conditions and the provisions of Section 16(b)
hereof, on the second Trading Day after the Original Issuance Date of the Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock, all the shares of Preferred Stock shall be
converted as if the Holder had delivered a Conversion Notice with respect to
such shares on such day. In the event the Equity Conditions (other than the
requirements set forth in Section 16(a)) are not satisfied on the second Trading
Day after the Original Issuance Date of the Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock, then all the shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted on the first
date thereafter on which the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set
forth in Section 16(a)) are satisfied as if the Holder had delivered a
Conversion Notice with respect to such shares on such day, provided that such
date occurs on or prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date. In
the event the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set forth in
Sections 16(a) and 16(b), which need not be satisfied for this purpose) are not
satisfied on the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holder, at
its option, may require the Company to repurchase the Preferred Stock for an
amount equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock on such date. The Holder
shall exercise this option by delivering to the Company written notice to that
effect and the Company shall repurchase the Preferred Stock on the fifth
Business Day following the receipt of such notice against delivery of the
Preferred Stock.
10. Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion of
a share of Preferred Stock hereunder shall equal the Stated Value on the
Conversion Date of such share of Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by the
Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.
(b) Upon conversion of any Preferred Stock, the Company shall
promptly (but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Conversion
Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the
written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate (i) a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such
conversion, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering
the resale of the Underlying Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder is not then effective and such Underlying Shares are not
then freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, and (ii) a bank check in the amount of all accrued and
unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock so converted (if the Company has elected
or is required to pay such accrued dividends in cash). Within three Trading Days
after receipt thereof, the Holder will deliver the original certificate(s)
evidencing the Preferred Stock so converted to the Company, unless the Holder is
awaiting receipt of a new certificate evidencing such shares from the Company
4
pursuant to another provision hereof. The Holder, or any Person so designated by
the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder
of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date. The Company
shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Underlying
Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
(c) If a Holder is converting less than all shares of Preferred
Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered by such Holder to
the Company in connection with such conversion, or if such conversion cannot be
effected in full for any reason, the Company shall promptly deliver to such
Holder a new certificate representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock
not converted.
(d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares
upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by any Holder
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by any Holder or any other Person of any obligation to
the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by any Holder or any
other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise
limit such obligation of the Company to any Holder in connection with the
issuance of such Underlying Shares.
11. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required
by applicable law, the Holders shall not be entitled to vote on any matters. So
long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not,
without the affirmative vote of the Holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers,
preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this
Certificate of Designation, (b) except for Series D Convertible Preferred Stock,
authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution
of assets upon a Liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the
Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate or articles of incorporation or other
charter documents so as to affect adversely any rights of the Holders, or (d)
increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock.
12. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 12, issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock and for
Underlying Shares issued on conversion of (or otherwise in respect of) the
Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
be entitled to withhold any applicable taxes with respect to the actual or
deemed payment of any dividends on the Preferred Stock (whether in cash or
shares of stock) and with respect to the payment of any cash in lieu of the
issuance of fractional shares pursuant to Section 17 hereof; and further
5
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Common Stock or Preferred Stock in a name other than that of
the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring the Preferred Stock or receiving
Underlying Shares in respect of the Preferred Stock.
13. Replacement Certificates. If any certificate evidencing Preferred
Stock or Underlying Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for such certificate, a new
certificate, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
14. Reservation of Underlying Shares. The Company covenants that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the
number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) all outstanding Preferred Stock
(taking into account the adjustments of Section 15), free from preemptive rights
or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The
Company covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly
authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
15. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 15.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while
Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Preferred Stock),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any
other shares of capital stock, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii),
6
(iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any
event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that
a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such
Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then, at the request of any Holder delivered before the
90th day after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within
five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of
such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Underlying Shares for which such Holder's
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such record date.
If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of Preferred Stock that occurs
after such record date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed
Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such
number of Underlying Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such
Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while Preferred Stock
is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then upon any subsequent conversion of Preferred
Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share
that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental
Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration"). For
purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Variable Conversion
Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share
of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion
the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any conversion of Preferred Stock following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new series of preferred stock consistent with the
7
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred
stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which
a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
(c) and insuring that the Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security)
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock
(collectively, "Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common
Stock sometimes hereinafter called "CS Securities") at an effective
price per share of Common Stock (the "Effective Price") less than
the Conversion Price (as adjusted hereunder to such date), then the
Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Effective Price. For
purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in connection with any
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents
(the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed to be outstanding upon
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y) the Effective Price
applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value
of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common
Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into
Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z) no further
adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) If, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common Stock
Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices
of the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes
of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any
subsequent conversion, the Effective Price will be determined
separately on each Conversion Date and will be deemed to equal the
lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price
Security is entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock on such
Conversion Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually
acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made
under this Section 13(d) in respect of (a) any grant of options to
8
employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's
board of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common
Stock which are the subject of any such plan may not exceed
2,800,000, subject to annual increases of up to 40% of the shares
authorized under such plans during the immediately preceding year),
(b) the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options,
(c) the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the
Motorola Agreement (d) up to 1,000,000 of CS Securities issued in
connection with any contractual strategic alliances approved by the
Company's Board of Directors; (e) the issuance of any CS Securities
representing or convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock
in any single transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall
only apply to the first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any
consecutive 12 month period and 150,000 in the aggregate; (f) CS
Securities issued or issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred
Stock, Warrants or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions thereof; (g) any CS Securities issuable
upon the exercise of, or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
contained within, any options, restricted stock awards, preferred
stock or warrants outstanding on the date hereof (but not to the
extent amended hereafter) all of which are set forth on Schedule
3.1(g) to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the
offices of the Company and which will be made available to any
Holder upon request; or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding
as of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all
of which are set forth on; Schedule 3.1(g) to the Purchase
Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the offices of the Company
and which will be made available to any Holder upon request;
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 15 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition
of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
pursuant to this Section 15, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate
describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise
thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written
request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to
each Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a notice
9
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, on the earlier
of the day on which the Company (a) publicly announces such proposed action or
(b) notifies its Shareholders of such proposed action, and the Company will take
all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that each Holder is given the
practical opportunity to convert its Preferred Stock prior to such time so as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
16. Limitation on Conversion. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by any Holder upon any conversion of Preferred Stock (or otherwise in
respect of the Preferred Stock) shall be limited to the extent necessary to
insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of
shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates
and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act,
does not exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a
Conversion Notice by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder
that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined
that issuance of the full number of Underlying Shares requested in such
Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph. By written notice to the
Company, any Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or
decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such
notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or
increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and not to any other Holder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by any Holder upon any
conversion of Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect of the Preferred Stock)
shall be limited to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of this Note after
application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to
the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a
conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be
beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have
the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in
this Section 14(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
14(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which the Preferred Stock is
10
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice or the Company is requiring conversion
pursuant to Section 9(b) in either case, that, without regard to any other
shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in
the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall
notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum
amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date.
17. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Underlying Shares on conversion of Preferred
Stock. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions
of this Section, be issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company
shall pay an amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the
Common Stock for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including)
the Conversion Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless a Holder
requests otherwise, no payment shall be required to be made to a Holder pursuant
to this sentence until the aggregate amount payable to such Holder in connection
with such conversion (together with unpaid amounts from prior conversions)
exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred payments shall be made.
18. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Conversion Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service.. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618,
facsimile: (609) 671-0995, Attention Sidney Rosenblatt, or (ii) if to a Holder,
to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company's stockholder
records or such other address or facsimile number as such Holder may provide to
the Company in accordance with this Section.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute
a part of this Certificate of Designations and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.
(b) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to
be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right.

amounts in full, then the entire amount of assets to be distributed shall be
distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the amount each Holder
would have received if such assets were sufficient to pay all such amounts in
full. The Company shall provide notice of any Liquidation or Change of Control
to each record Holder on the earlier of the day on which the Company (a)
publicly announces such event or proposed action, or (b) notifies its
shareholders of such event or proposed action. At the request of any Holder,
which must be delivered prior to the effective date of a Change of Control (or,
if later, within five Trading Days after such Holder receives notice of such
Change of Control from the Company), such Change of Control will be treated as a
Liquidation with respect to such Holder.
2
6. No Payments on Junior Securities. So long as any Preferred Stock is
outstanding, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or
indirectly, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities or set
aside any monies for such a redemption, purchase or other acquisition, and (ii)
the Company shall not pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on
any Junior Securities, except stock dividends on the Common Stock payable in
additional shares of Common Stock and dividends due and paid in the ordinary
course on preferred stock of the Company at such times as the Company is in
compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder.
7. Registration of Preferred Stock. The Company shall register shares
of the Preferred Stock, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose (the "Preferred Stock Register"), in the name of the record Holders
thereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of shares of Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of
any conversion hereof or any distribution to such Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
8. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer
of any shares of Preferred Stock in the Preferred Stock Register, upon surrender
of certificates evidencing such shares to the Company at its address specified
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the
shares of Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a
new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so
transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
9. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at Option of Holder. At the option of any Holder, any
Preferred Stock held by such Holder may be converted into Common Stock based on
the then-applicable Conversion Price. A Holder may convert Preferred Stock into
Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph at any time and from time to time after
the Original Issue Date and prior to August 22, 2004, by delivering to the
Company a conversion notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a
"Conversion Notice"), appropriately completed and duly signed, and the date any
such Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance
with the notice provisions hereof) is a "Conversion Date." A Holder shall
simultaneously deliver a copy of the Conversion Notice to the Transfer Agent;
provided, however, a Holder's failure to deliver such a copy shall not render
such Conversion Notice invalid or ineffective.
(b) Conversion at Option of Company. If, at any time after the
Effective Date, the Closing Price for twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days
exceeds 135% of the Conversion Price (the "Threshold Price"), the Company may
require the Holders to convert all of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock
based on the then-applicable Conversion Price. The Company may require a
conversion pursuant to this paragraph by delivering irrevocable written notice
of such election to the Holders, and the thirtieth Trading Day after the date
any such notice is delivered to the Holders (as determined in accordance with
the notice provisions hereof) will be the "Conversion Date" for such required
conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not require any
3
conversion under this paragraph (and any notice thereof will be void), unless
from the beginning of the period of twenty consecutive Trading Days through the
Conversion Date, the Equity Conditions (except for the condition set forth in
Section 16(a), which need not be satisfied for this purpose) are satisfied with
respect to all of the Underlying Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of
all outstanding Preferred Stock.
(c) Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding Section 16(a) hereof or
any other provision to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the
satisfaction of the Equity Conditions and the provisions of Section 16(b)
hereof, on the second Trading Day after the Original Issuance Date, all the
shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted as if the Holder had delivered a
Conversion Notice with respect to such shares on such day. In the event the
Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set forth in Section 16(a)) are
not satisfied on the second Trading Day after the Original Issuance Date, then
all the shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted on the first date
thereafter on which the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set forth
in Section 16(a)) are satisfied as if the Holder had delivered a Conversion
Notice with respect to such shares on such day, provided that such date occurs
on or prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date. In the event
the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set forth in Sections 16(a)
and 16(b), which need not be satisfied for this purpose) are not satisfied on
the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holder, at its option, may
require the Company to repurchase the Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the
Stated Value of the Preferred Stock on such date. The Holder shall exercise this
option by delivering to the Company written notice to that effect and the
Company shall repurchase the Preferred Stock on the fifth Business Day following
the receipt of such notice against delivery of the Preferred Stock.
10. Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion of
a share of Preferred Stock hereunder shall equal the Stated Value on the
Conversion Date of such share of Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by the
Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.
(b) Upon conversion of any Preferred Stock, the Company shall
promptly (but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Conversion
Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the
written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate (i) a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such
conversion, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering
the resale of the Underlying Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder is not then effective and such Underlying Shares are not
then freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, and (ii) a bank check in the amount of all accrued and
unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock so converted (if the Company has elected
or is required to pay such accrued dividends in cash). Within three Trading Days
after receipt thereof, the Holder will deliver the original certificate(s)
4
evidencing the Preferred Stock so converted to the Company, unless the Holder is
awaiting receipt of a new certificate evidencing such shares from the Company
pursuant to another provision hereof. The Holder, or any Person so designated by
the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder
of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date. The Company
shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Underlying
Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
(c) If a Holder is converting less than all shares of Preferred
Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered by such Holder to
the Company in connection with such conversion, or if such conversion cannot be
effected in full for any reason, the Company shall promptly deliver to such
Holder a new certificate representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock
not converted.
(d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares
upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by any Holder
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by any Holder or any other Person of any obligation to
the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by any Holder or any
other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise
limit such obligation of the Company to any Holder in connection with the
issuance of such Underlying Shares.
11. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required
by applicable law, the Holders shall not be entitled to vote on any matters. So
long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not,
without the affirmative vote of the Holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers,
preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this
Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking
as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation senior to or
otherwise pari passu with the Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate or
articles of incorporation or other charter documents so as to affect adversely
any rights of the Holders, or (d) increase the authorized number of shares of
Preferred Stock.
12. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 12, issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock and for
Underlying Shares issued on conversion of (or otherwise in respect of) the
Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
be entitled to withhold any applicable taxes with respect to the actual or
deemed payment of any dividends on the Preferred Stock (whether in cash or
shares of stock) and with respect to the payment of any cash in lieu of the
issuance of fractional shares pursuant to Section 17 hereof; and further
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
5
certificates for Common Stock or Preferred Stock in a name other than that of
the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring the Preferred Stock or receiving
Underlying Shares in respect of the Preferred Stock.
13. Replacement Certificates. If any certificate evidencing Preferred
Stock or Underlying Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for such certificate, a new
certificate, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
14. Reservation of Underlying Shares. The Company covenants that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the
number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) all outstanding Preferred Stock
(taking into account the adjustments of Section 15), free from preemptive rights
or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The
Company covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly
authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
15. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 15.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while
Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Preferred Stock),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any
other shares of capital stock, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any
event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that
a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such
Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
6
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then, at the request of any Holder delivered before the
90th day after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within
five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of
such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Underlying Shares for which such Holder's
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such record date.
If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of Preferred Stock that occurs
after such record date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed
Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such
number of Underlying Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such
Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while Preferred Stock
is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then upon any subsequent conversion of Preferred
Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share
that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental
Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration"). For
purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Variable Conversion
Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share
of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion
the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any conversion of Preferred Stock following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new series of preferred stock consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred
7
stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which
a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
(c) and insuring that the Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security)
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock
(collectively, "Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common
Stock sometimes hereinafter called "CS Securities") at an effective
price per share of Common Stock (the "Effective Price") less than
the Conversion Price (as adjusted hereunder to such date), then the
Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Effective Price. For
purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in connection with any
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents
(the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed to be outstanding upon
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y) the Effective Price
applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value
of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common
Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into
Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z) no further
adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) If, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common Stock
Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices
of the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes
of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any
subsequent conversion, the Effective Price will be determined
separately on each Conversion Date and will be deemed to equal the
lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price
Security is entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock on such
Conversion Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually
acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made
under this Section 13(d) in respect of (a) any grant of options to
employees, officers ^, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's
board of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common
8
Stock which are the subject of any such plan may not exceed
2,800,000, subject to annual increases of up to 40% of the shares
authorized under such plans during the immediately preceding year),
(b) the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options,
(c) the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the
Motorola Agreement (d) up to 1,000,000 of CS Securities issued in
connection with any contractual strategic alliances approved by the
Company's Board of Directors; (e) the issuance of any CS Securities
representing or convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock
in any single transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall
only apply to the first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any
consecutive 12 month period and 150,000 in the aggregate; (f) CS
Securities issued or issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred
Stock, Warrants or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions thereof; (g) any CS Securities issuable
upon the exercise of, or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
contained within, any options, restricted stock awards, preferred
stock or warrants outstanding on the date hereof (but not to the
extent amended hereafter) all of which are set forth on Schedule
3.1(g) to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the
offices of the Company and which will be made available to any
Holder upon request; or ^(h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding
as of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all
of which are set forth on; Schedule 3.1(g) to the Purchase
Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the offices of the Company
and which will be made available to any Holder upon request;
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 15 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition
of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
pursuant to this Section 15, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate
describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise
thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written
request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to
each Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, on the earlier
of the day on which the Company (a) publicly announces such proposed action or
9
(b) notifies its Shareholders of such proposed action, and the Company will take
all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that each Holder is given the
practical opportunity to convert its Preferred Stock prior to such time so as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
16. Limitation on Conversion. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by any Holder upon any conversion of Preferred Stock (or otherwise in
respect of the Preferred Stock) shall be limited to the extent necessary to
insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of
shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates
and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act,
does not exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a
Conversion Notice by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder
that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined
that issuance of the full number of Underlying Shares requested in such
Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph. By written notice to the
Company, any Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or
decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such
notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or
increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and not to any other Holder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by any Holder upon any
conversion of Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect of the Preferred Stock)
shall be limited to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of this Note after
application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to
the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a
conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be
beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have
the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in
this Section 14(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
14(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which the Preferred Stock is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice or the Company is requiring conversion
pursuant to Section 9(b) in either case, that, without regard to any other
shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in
10
the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall
notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum
amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date.
17. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Underlying Shares on conversion of Preferred
Stock. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions
of this Section, be issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company
shall pay an amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the
Common Stock for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including)
the Conversion Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless a Holder
requests otherwise, no payment shall be required to be made to a Holder pursuant
to this sentence until the aggregate amount payable to such Holder in connection
with such conversion (together with unpaid amounts from prior conversions)
exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred payments shall be made.
18. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Conversion Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service.. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618,
facsimile: (609) 671-0995, Attention Sidney Rosenblatt, or (ii) if to a Holder,
to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company's stockholder
records or such other address or facsimile number as such Holder may provide to
the Company in accordance with this Section.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute
a part of this Certificate of Designations and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.
(b) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to
be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right.

BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY,
MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS.
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT
Warrant No. A-1 Dated: August 22, 2001
Effective November 1, 2001, this Amended and Restated Warrant
("Warrant") amends and restates Warrant No. A-1 that was originally issued by
Universal Display Corporation to Strong River Investments, Inc. as of August 22,
2001 (the "Original Warrant") in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement (as such term is defined below).
Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Strong River Investments,
Inc. or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to a total of 78,740 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all
such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $9.9225 per
share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and
through and including August 22, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to
the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 22, 2001, among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the
"Purchase Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its
address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date,
the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void
and of no value; provided that, if the Closing Price on the Expiration Date is
greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not
previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City
time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to Section 12 hereof, a Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed; (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant (or a New Warrant, as described in
Section 5(b)), unless the Holder is awaiting receipt of a New Warrant from the
Company pursuant to another provision hereof. The date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an "Exercise Date".
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Exercise Date (the
"Delivery Date")) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without
volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder,
or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
2
(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than
all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are
exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares.
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares.
(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such
certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified
herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
provision hereof or under applicable law.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date
the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the lesser of (A) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue or (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased, multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price of the Common Stock on
the applicable Exercise Date, in which event the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
delivery requirements shall not be so issued. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In in connection with an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to
which the Exercise Price of the Underlying Shares on the applicable Exercise
Date multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares was equal to $2,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $9,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
3
(f) The provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) shall not apply
to an exercise under Section 4(a).
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
4
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate
Consideration"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be
affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control and
if upon the happening of such Change of Control (A) the Company or its
5
successors is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, or (B) the Company or its successor, as
the case may be, for the 90 day period prior thereto (1) had an average daily
trading volume of its common stock of less than 100,000 shares or (2) had an
average daily Closing Price of its common stock of less than $10 per share, then
at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity)
will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively,
"Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common Stock hereinafter
called the "CS Securities") at an effective price per share of Common
Stock (the "Effective Price") less than the Exercise Price, then the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the
Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the
Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
immediately after such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing
adjustment, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock
Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents (the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed
to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y)
the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the
minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to
purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or
exchange them into Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z)
no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the
actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents. However, upon termination or
expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which
6
resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this
paragraph, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed to equal the price it
would have been had the adjustments in this paragraph been made, at the
time of issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, only with respect to
that number of shares of the Common Stock actually issued upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents and
at the Effective Prices actually paid in connection therewith.
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common
Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices of
the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes of
applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent
exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each
Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at
which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire
shares of Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any
such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
will be made under this Section 9(d) in respect of (a) any grant of
options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's board
of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock which
are the subject of any such plan may not exceed 2,800,000, subject to
annual increases of up to 40% of the number of shares authorized under
such plans during the immediately preceding year), (b) in respect of
the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options, (c)
the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the Motorola
Agreement, (d) up to 1,000,000 CS Securities issued in connection with
any contractual strategic alliances approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, (e) the issuance of any CS Securities representing or
convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any single
transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall only apply to the
first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any consecutive 12 month
period and 150,000 in the aggregate, (f) CS Securities issued or
issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred Stock, Warrants or any other
Transaction Document or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, (g) any CS Securities issuable upon the exercise of, or
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained within, any options,
restricted stock awards, preferred stock or warrants outstanding on the
date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of which are
set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as
of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of
which are set forth on Schedule 2 hereto.
(e) Special Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary that may be contained herein, if at any time on or after the date
hereof, the Holder has pursuant to the Notes converted in excess of $1,500,000
of principal amount of such Notes on account of the Company having delivered a
"Company Conversion Notice" pursuant to such Note, then upon each such
conversion in excess of $1,500,000 (a "Subsequent Conversion") the Exercise
Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to 110% of the Conversion Price in
effect for each such Subsequent Conversion.
7
(f) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same
as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided,
however, the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any sale, issuance,
distribution or disposition of any such shares by the Company.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(i) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall on the earlier of the day
on which the Company (A) publicly announces such proposed action, or (B)
notifies its shareholders of such proposed action deliver to the Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.
11. Limitation on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
8
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in
the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to
report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the
time of an exercise hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section 11(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
11(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which this Warrant is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice for a number of Warrant Shares that,
without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
Exercise Notice to the extent of the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted
to be purchased at such Exercise Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11(b).
12. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange
of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the
9
Company to the effect that such exercise, transfer or exchange may be made
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee is an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such
opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an
amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock
for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless the Holder requests
otherwise, no payment shall be required pursuant to this sentence until the

BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY,
MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS.
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT
Warrant No. A-2 Dated: August 22, 2001
Effective November 1, 2001, this Amended and Restated Warrant
("Warrant") amends and restates Warrant No. A-2 that was originally issued by
Universal Display Corporation to Pine Ridge Financial Inc. as of August 22, 2001
(the "Original Warrant") in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement (as such term is defined below).
Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Pine Ridge Financial,
Inc. or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to a total of 78,740 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all
such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $9.9225 per
share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and
through and including August 22, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to
the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 22, 2001, among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the
"Purchase Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its
address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date,
the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void
and of no value; provided that, if the Closing Price on the Expiration Date is
greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not
previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City
time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to Section 12 hereof, a Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed; (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant (or a New Warrant, as described in
Section 5(b)), unless the Holder is awaiting receipt of a New Warrant from the
Company pursuant to another provision hereof. The date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an "Exercise Date".
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Exercise Date (the
"Delivery Date")) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without
volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder,
or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
2
(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than
all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are
exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares.
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares.
(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such
certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified
herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
provision hereof or under applicable law.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date
the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the lesser of (A) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue or (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased, multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price of the Common Stock on
the applicable Exercise Date, in which event the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
delivery requirements shall not be so issued. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In in connection with an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to
which the Exercise Price of the Underlying Shares on the applicable Exercise
Date multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares was equal to $2,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $9,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
3
(f) The provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) shall not apply
to an exercise under Section 4(a).
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
4
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate
Consideration"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be
affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
5
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control and
if upon the happening of such Change of Control (A) the Company or its
successors is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, or (B) the Company or its successor, as
the case may be, for the 90 day period prior thereto (1) had an average daily
trading volume of its common stock of less than 100,000 shares or (2) had an
average daily Closing Price of its common stock of less than $10 per share, then
at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity)
will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any
Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, "Common Stock
Equivalents" and together with Common Stock hereinafter called the "CS
Securities") at an effective price per share of Common Stock (the
"Effective Price") less than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise
Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate Effective Price of the Common Stock issued (or
deemed to be issued) would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the
denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance. For purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in connection with
any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the
"Deemed Number") shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalents, (y) the Effective Price applicable to
such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration
payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to
convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock, divided by the
Deemed Number, and (z) no further adjustment shall be made to the
Exercise Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
However, upon termination or expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents
the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to this paragraph, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed to
equal the price it would have been had the adjustments in this
paragraph been made, at the time of issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents, only with respect to that number of shares of the Common
6
Stock actually issued upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Common Stock Equivalents and at the Effective Prices actually paid in
connection therewith.
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
the Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common Stock
Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or otherwise
varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices of the Common
Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes of applying the
preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the
Effective Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and
will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which any holder
of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire shares of Common
Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder
actually acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will
be made under this Section 9(d) in respect of (a) any grant of options
to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's board
of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock which
are the subject of any such plan may not exceed 2,800,000, subject to
annual increases of up to 40% of the number of shares authorized under
such plans during the immediately preceding year), (b) in respect of
the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options, (c)
the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the Motorola
Agreement, (d) up to 1,000,000 CS Securities issued in connection with
any contractual strategic alliances approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, (e) the issuance of any CS Securities representing or
convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any single
transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall only apply to the
first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any consecutive 12 month
period and 150,000 in the aggregate, (f) CS Securities issued or
issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred Stock, Warrants or any other
Transaction Document or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, (g) any CS Securities issuable upon the exercise of, or
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained within, any options,
restricted stock awards, preferred stock or warrants outstanding on the
date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of which are
set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as
of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of
which are set forth on Schedule 2 hereto.
(e) Special Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary that may be contained herein, if at any time on or after the date
hereof, the Holder has pursuant to the Notes converted in excess of $1,500,000
of principal amount of such Notes on account of the Company having delivered a
"Company Conversion Notice" pursuant to such Note, then upon each such
conversion in excess of $1,500,000 (a "Subsequent Conversion") the Exercise
Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to 110% of the Conversion Price in
effect for each such Subsequent Conversion.
7
(f) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same
as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided,
however, the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any sale, issuance,
distribution or disposition of any such shares by the Company.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(i) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall on the earlier of the day
on which the Company (A) publicly announces such proposed action, or (B)
notifies its shareholders of such proposed action deliver to the Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.
11. Limitation on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
8
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in
the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to
report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the
time of an exercise hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section 11(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
11(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which this Warrant is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice for a number of Warrant Shares that,
without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
Exercise Notice to the extent of the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted
to be purchased at such Exercise Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11(b).
12. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange
of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that such exercise, transfer or exchange may be made
9
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee is an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such
opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an
amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock
for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless the Holder requests
otherwise, no payment shall be required pursuant to this sentence until the
aggregate amount payable exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred
payments shall be made.
14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618;
facsimile: (609) 671-0995; attention Sidney Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer,
or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the
Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may
provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
15. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to
any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
10
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) The corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
(e) This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting or
other rights as a stockholder of the Company, except to the extent the Holder
has purchased any Warrant Shares.

THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS.
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT
Warrant No. B-1 Dated: August 22, 2001
Effective November 1, 2001, this Amended and Restated Warrant
("Warrant") amends and restates Warrant No. B-1 that was originally issued by
Universal Display Corporation to Strong River Investments, Inc. as of August 22,
2001 (the "Original Warrant") in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement (as such term is defined below).
Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Strong River Investments,
Inc. or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to a total of 78,740 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all
such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $9.9225 per
share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the earlier of (a)
August 22, 2004 and (b) the Second Closing Date (the earlier of such dates being
the "Commencement Date") and through and including August 22, 2011 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 22, 2001, among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the
"Purchase Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its
address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the Commencement Date to and
including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall
be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the Closing Price on the
Expiration Date is greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration
Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the
extent not previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New
York City time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to Section 12 hereof, a Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed; (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant (or a New Warrant, as described in
Section 5(b)), unless the Holder is awaiting receipt of a New Warrant from the
Company pursuant to another provision hereof. The date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an "Exercise Date".
(c) In the event the Commencement Date shall not have occurred
on or before August 22, 2002, the Company may redeem this Warrant by paying
$100.00 to the Holder.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Exercise Date (the
"Delivery Date")) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without
volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder,
or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
2
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than
all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are
exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares.
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares.
(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such
certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified
herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
provision hereof or under applicable law.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date
the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the lesser of (A) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue or (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased, multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price of the Common Stock on
the applicable Exercise Date, in which event the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
delivery requirements shall not be so issued. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In in connection with an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to
which the Exercise Price of the Underlying Shares on the applicable Exercise
3
Date multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares was equal to $2,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $9,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) The provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) shall not apply
to an exercise under Section 4(a).
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9. -
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
4
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate
Consideration"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be
affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
5
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control and
if upon the happening of such Change of Control (A) the Company or its
successors is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, or (B) the Company or its successor, as
the case may be, for the 90 day period prior thereto (1) had an average daily
trading volume of its common stock of less than 100,000 shares or (2) had an
average daily Closing Price of its common stock of less than $10 per share, then
at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity)
will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively,
"Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common Stock hereinafter
called the "CS Securities") at an effective price per share of Common
Stock (the "Effective Price") less than the Exercise Price, then the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the
Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the
Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
immediately after such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing
adjustment, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock
Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents (the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed
to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y)
the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the
minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to
purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or
exchange them into Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z)
no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the
actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents. However, upon termination or
expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which
resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this
paragraph, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed to equal the price it
6
would have been had the adjustments in this paragraph been made, at the
time of issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, only with respect to
that number of shares of the Common Stock actually issued upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents and
at the Effective Prices actually paid in connection therewith.
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common
Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices of
the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes of
applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent
exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each
Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at
which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire
shares of Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any
such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
will be made under this Section 9(d) in respect of (a) any grant of
options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's board
of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock which
are the subject of any such plan may not exceed 2,800,000, subject to
annual increases of up to 40% of the number of shares authorized under
such plans during the immediately preceding year), (b) in respect of
the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options, (c)
the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the Motorola
Agreement, (d) up to 1,000,000 CS Securities issued in connection with
any contractual strategic alliances approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, (e) the issuance of any CS Securities representing or
convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any single
transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall only apply to the
first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any consecutive 12 month
period and 150,000 in the aggregate, (f) CS Securities issued or
issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred Stock, Warrants or any other
Transaction Document or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, (g) any CS Securities issuable upon the exercise of, or
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained within, any options,
restricted stock awards, preferred stock or warrants outstanding on the
date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of which are
set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as
of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of
which are set forth on Schedule 2 hereto.
(e) Special Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary that may be contained herein, if at any time on or after the date
hereof, the Holder has pursuant to the Notes converted in excess of $1,500,000
of principal amount of such Notes on account of the Company having delivered a
"Company Conversion Notice" pursuant to such Note, then upon each such
conversion in excess of $1,500,000 (a "Subsequent Conversion") the Exercise
Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to 110% of the Conversion Price in
effect for each such Subsequent Conversion.
7
(f) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same
as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided,
however, the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any sale, issuance,
distribution or disposition of any such shares by the Company.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(i) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall on the earlier of the day
on which the Company (A) publicly announces such proposed action, or (B)
notifies its shareholders of such proposed action deliver to the Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.
11. Limitation on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
8
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in
the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to
report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the
time of an exercise hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section 11(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
11(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which this Warrant is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice for a number of Warrant Shares that,
without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
Exercise Notice to the extent of the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted
to be purchased at such Exercise Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11(b).
12. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange
of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that such exercise, transfer or exchange may be made
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and
9
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee is an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such
opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an
amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock
for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless the Holder requests
otherwise, no payment shall be required pursuant to this sentence until the
aggregate amount payable exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred
payments shall be made.
14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618;
facsimile: (609) 671-0995; attention Sidney Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer,
or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the
Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may
provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
15. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to
10
any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) The corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
(e) This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting or
other rights as a stockholder of the Company, except to the extent the Holder
has purchased any Warrant Shares.

THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS.
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT
Warrant No. B-2 Dated: August 22, 2001
Effective November 1, 2001, this Amended and Restated Warrant
("Warrant") amends and restates Warrant No. B-2 that was originally issued by
Universal Display Corporation to Pine Ridge Financial Inc. as of August 22, 2001
(the "Original Warrant") in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement (as such term is defined below).
Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Pine Ridge Financial,
Inc. or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to a total of 78,740 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all
such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $9.9225 per
share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the earlier of (a)
August 22, 2004 and (b) the Second Closing Date (the earlier of such dates being
the "Commencement Date") and through and including August 22, 2011 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 22, 2001, among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the
"Purchase Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its
address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the Commencement Date to and
including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall
be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the Closing Price on the
Expiration Date is greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration
Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the
extent not previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New
York City time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to Section 12 hereof, a Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed; (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant (or a New Warrant, as described in
Section 5(b)), unless the Holder is awaiting receipt of a New Warrant from the
Company pursuant to another provision hereof. The date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an "Exercise Date".
(c) In the event the Commencement Date shall not have occurred
on or before August 22, 2002, the Company may redeem this Warrant by paying
$100.00 to the Holder.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Exercise Date (the
"Delivery Date")) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without
volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder,
or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
2
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than
all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are
exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares.
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares.
(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such
certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified
herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
provision hereof or under applicable law.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date
the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the lesser of (A) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue or (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased, multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price of the Common Stock on
the applicable Exercise Date, in which event the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
delivery requirements shall not be so issued. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In in connection with an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to
3
which the Exercise Price of the Underlying Shares on the applicable Exercise
Date multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares was equal to $2,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $9,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) The provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) shall not apply
to an exercise under Section 4(a).
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9. -
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
4
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate
Consideration"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be
affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
5
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control and
if upon the happening of such Change of Control (A) the Company or its
successors is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, or (B) the Company or its successor, as
the case may be, for the 90 day period prior thereto (1) had an average daily
trading volume of its common stock of less than 100,000 shares or (2) had an
average daily Closing Price of its common stock of less than $10 per share, then
at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity)
will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively,
"Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common Stock hereinafter
called the "CS Securities") at an effective price per share of Common
Stock (the "Effective Price") less than the Exercise Price, then the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the
Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the
Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
immediately after such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing
adjustment, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock
Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents (the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed
to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y)
the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the
minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to
purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or
exchange them into Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z)
no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the
actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents. However, upon termination or
expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which
resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this
paragraph, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed to equal the price it
6
would have been had the adjustments in this paragraph been made, at the
time of issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, only with respect to
that number of shares of the Common Stock actually issued upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents and
at the Effective Prices actually paid in connection therewith.
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common
Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices of
the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes of
applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent
exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each
Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at
which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire
shares of Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any
such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
will be made under this Section 9(d) in respect of (a) any grant of
options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's board
of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock which
are the subject of any such plan may not exceed 2,800,000, subject to
annual increases of up to 40% of the number of shares authorized under
such plans during the immediately preceding year), (b) in respect of
the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options, (c)
the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the Motorola
Agreement, (d) up to 1,000,000 CS Securities issued in connection with
any contractual strategic alliances approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, (e) the issuance of any CS Securities representing or
convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any single
transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall only apply to the
first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any consecutive 12 month
period and 150,000 in the aggregate, (f) CS Securities issued or
issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred Stock, Warrants or any other
Transaction Document or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, (g) any CS Securities issuable upon the exercise of, or
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained within, any options,
restricted stock awards, preferred stock or warrants outstanding on the
date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of which are
set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as
of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of
which are set forth on Schedule 2 hereto.
(e) Special Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary that may be contained herein, if at any time on or after the date
hereof, the Holder has pursuant to the Notes converted in excess of $1,500,000
of principal amount of such Notes on account of the Company having delivered a
"Company Conversion Notice" pursuant to such Note, then upon each such
conversion in excess of $1,500,000 (a "Subsequent Conversion") the Exercise
Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to 110% of the Conversion Price in
effect for each such Subsequent Conversion.
7
(f) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same
as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided,
however, the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any sale, issuance,
distribution or disposition of any such shares by the Company.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(i) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall on the earlier of the day
on which the Company (A) publicly announces such proposed action, or (B)
notifies its shareholders of such proposed action deliver to the Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.
11. Limitation on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
8
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in
the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to
report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the
time of an exercise hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section 11(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
11(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which this Warrant is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice for a number of Warrant Shares that,
without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
Exercise Notice to the extent of the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted
to be purchased at such Exercise Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11(b).
12. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange
of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that such exercise, transfer or exchange may be made
9
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee is an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such
opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an
amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock
for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless the Holder requests
otherwise, no payment shall be required pursuant to this sentence until the
aggregate amount payable exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred
payments shall be made.
14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618;
facsimile: (609) 671-0995; attention Sidney Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer,
or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the
Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may
provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
15. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to
10
any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) The corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
(e) This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting or
other rights as a stockholder of the Company, except to the extent the Holder
has purchased any Warrant Shares.

UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT
Warrant No. C-1 Dated: August 22, 2001
Effective November 1, 2001, this Amended and Restated Warrant
("Warrant") amends and restates Warrant No. C-1 that was originally issued by
Universal Display Corporation to Strong River Investments, Inc. as of August 22,
2001 (the "Original Warrant") in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement (as such term is defined below).
Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Strong River Investments,
Inc. or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to a total of 214,746 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share"
and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $15.24
per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and
through and including August 22, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to
the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 22, 2001, among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the
"Purchase Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its
address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date,
the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void
and of no value; provided that, if the Closing Price on the Expiration Date is
greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not
previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City
time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to Section 12 hereof, a Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an Exercise Notice, in the form
attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed; (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant (or a New Warrant, as described in
Section 5(b)), unless the Holder is awaiting receipt of a New Warrant from the
Company pursuant to another provision hereof. The date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an "Exercise Date".
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Exercise Date (the
"Delivery Date")) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without
volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder,
or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than
all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are
exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares.
2
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares.
(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such
certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified
herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
provision hereof or under applicable law.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date
the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the lesser of (A) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue or (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased, multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price of the Common Stock on
the applicable Exercise Date, in which event the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
delivery requirements shall not be so issued. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In in connection with an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to
which the Exercise Price of the Underlying Shares on the applicable Exercise
Date multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares was equal to $2,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $9,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) The provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) shall not apply
to an exercise under Section 4(a).
3
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9. -
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
4
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate
Consideration"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be
affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
5
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control and
if upon the happening of such Change of Control (A) the Company or its
successors is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, or (B) the Company or its successor, as
the case may be, for the 90 day period prior thereto (1) had an average daily
trading volume of its common stock of less than 100,000 shares or (2) had an
average daily Closing Price of its common stock of less than $10 per share, then
at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity)
will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively,
"Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common Stock hereinafter
called the "CS Securities") at an effective price per share of Common
Stock (the "Effective Price") less than the Exercise Price, then the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the
Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the
Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
immediately after such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing
adjustment, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock
Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents (the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed
to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y)
the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the
minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to
purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or
exchange them into Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z)
no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the
actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents. However, upon termination or
expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which
resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this
paragraph, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed to equal the price it
would have been had the adjustments in this paragraph been made, at the
time of issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, only with respect to
that number of shares of the Common Stock actually issued upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents and
at the Effective Prices actually paid in connection therewith.
6
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common
Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices of
the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes of
applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent
exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each
Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at
which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire
shares of Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any
such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
will be made under this Section 9(d) in respect of (a) any grant of
options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's board
of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock which
are the subject of any such plan may not exceed 2,800,000, subject to
annual increases of up to 40% of the number of shares authorized under
such plans during the immediately preceding year), (b) in respect of
the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options, (c)
the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the Motorola
Agreement, (d) up to 1,000,000 CS Securities issued in connection with
any contractual strategic alliances approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, (e) the issuance of any CS Securities representing or
convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any single
transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall only apply to the
first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any consecutive 12 month
period and 150,000 in the aggregate, (f) CS Securities issued or
issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred Stock, Warrants or any other
Transaction Document or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, (g) any CS Securities issuable upon the exercise of, or
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained within, any options,
restricted stock awards, preferred stock or warrants outstanding on the
date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of which are
set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as
of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all of
which are set forth on Schedule 2 hereto.
(e) Special Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary that may be contained herein, if at any time on or after the date
hereof, the Holder has pursuant to the Notes converted in excess of $1,500,000
of principal amount of such Notes on account of the Company having delivered a
"Company Conversion Notice" pursuant to such Note, then upon each such
conversion in excess of $1,500,000 (a "Subsequent Conversion") the Exercise
Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to 110% of the Conversion Price in
effect for each such Subsequent Conversion.
(f) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
7
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same
as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided,
however, the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any sale, issuance,
distribution or disposition of any such shares by the Company.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(i) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall on the earlier of the day
on which the Company (A) publicly announces such proposed action, or (B)
notifies its shareholders of such proposed action deliver to the Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
(j) Exception. Notwithstanding anything contained to the
contrary in Section 9(d), in the event, and only in the event, an Event of
Default under Section 4(a)(viii) of the Notes has occurred, and no other Event
of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred, then Section 9(d) hereof
shall only apply to the extent sales of CS Securities by the Company exceed $15
million in the aggregate.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.
11. Limitation on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
8
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in
the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to
report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the
time of an exercise hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section 11(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
11(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which this Warrant is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice for a number of Warrant Shares that,
without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
Exercise Notice to the extent of the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted
to be purchased at such Exercise Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11(b).
12. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange
of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the
9
Company to the effect that such exercise, transfer or exchange may be made
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee is an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such
opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an
amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock
for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless the Holder requests
otherwise, no payment shall be required pursuant to this sentence until the
aggregate amount payable exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred
payments shall be made.
14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618;
facsimile: (609) 671-0995; attention Sidney Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer,
or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the
Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may
provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
15. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
10
the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to
any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) The corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
(e) This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting or
other rights as a stockholder of the Company, except to the extent the Holder
has purchased any Warrant Shares.

UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED WARRANT
Warrant No. C-2 Dated: August 22, 2001
Effective November 1, 2001, this Amended and Restated Warrant
("Warrant") amends and restates Warrant No. C-2 that was originally issued by
Universal Display Corporation to Pine Ridge Financial Inc. as of August 22, 2001
(the "Original Warrant") in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement (as such term is defined below).
Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Pine Ridge Financial,
Inc. or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to a total of 214,746 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share"
and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $15.24
per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and
through and including August 22, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to
the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 22, 2001, among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the
"Purchase Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its
address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at
any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the
Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the
portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and
of no value; provided that, if the Closing Price on the Expiration Date is
greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not
previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City
time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to Section 12 hereof, a Holder may exercise this Warrant
by delivering to the Company (i) an Exercise Notice, in the form attached
hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed; (ii) payment of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised; and (iii) this Warrant (or a New Warrant, as described in Section
5(b)), unless the Holder is awaiting receipt of a New Warrant from the Company
pursuant to another provision hereof. The date such items are delivered to the
Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an
"Exercise Date".
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but
in no event later than four Trading Days after the Exercise Date (the "Delivery
Date")) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the
written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without
volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder,
or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from
time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than all of
the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at
any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
2
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of
any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the
Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.
(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate
or certificates pursuant to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
$5,000 for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such certificates are
delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual
damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of
Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified herein and the Holder
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder
from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other provision hereof or under
applicable law.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant
to this Section 5 by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Underlying
Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"),
then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder's
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the lesser of (A) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue or (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased, multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price of the Common Stock on
the applicable Exercise Date, in which event the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
delivery requirements shall not be so issued. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In in connection with an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to
which the Exercise Price of the Underlying Shares on the applicable Exercise
Date multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares was equal to $2,000 under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $9,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) The provisions of Sections 5(d) and 5(e) shall not apply to an
exercise under Section 4(a).
3
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9. -
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
4
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences
of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common
Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities,
cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate Consideration").
The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such
Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise
Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's
request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate
Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms
of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall
include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with
the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such
replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction
analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction
constitutes or results in a Change of Control and if upon the happening of such
5
Change of Control (A) the Company or its successors is not traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market,
or (B) the Company or its successor, as the case may be, for the 90 day period
prior thereto (1) had an average daily trading volume of its common stock of
less than 100,000 shares or (2) had an average daily Closing Price of its common
stock of less than $10 per share, then at the request of the Holder delivered
before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such
successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a
purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or,
if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the
Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the
date of such request.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the
Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock
(collectively, "Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common
Stock hereinafter called the "CS Securities") at an effective price
per share of Common Stock (the "Effective Price") less than the
Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal
the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B)
a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate Effective Price of the Common Stock issued (or deemed to
be issued) would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator
of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance. For purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in connection
with any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (x) the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalents (the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed to be outstanding
upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y) the Effective
Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar
value of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such
Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them
into Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z) no further
adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents. However, upon termination or
expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which
resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this
paragraph, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed to equal the price
it would have been had the adjustments in this paragraph been made,
at the time of issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, only with
respect to that number of shares of the Common Stock actually issued
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalents and at the Effective Prices actually paid in connection
therewith.
6
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the
Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common Stock
Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices
of the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes
of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any
subsequent exercise, the Effective Price will be determined
separately on each Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the
lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price
Security is entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock on such
Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually
acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made
under this Section 9(d) in respect of (a) any grant of options to
employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's
board of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common
Stock which are the subject of any such plan may not exceed
2,800,000, subject to annual increases of up to 40% of the number of
shares authorized under such plans during the immediately preceding
year), (b) in respect of the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise
of any such options, (c) the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG
Agreement or the Motorola Agreement, (d) up to 1,000,000 CS
Securities issued in connection with any contractual strategic
alliances approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (e) the
issuance of any CS Securities representing or convertible into up to
50,000 shares of Common Stock in any single transaction; provided
that this subsection (e) shall only apply to the first 50,000 shares
in the aggregate issued in any consecutive 12 month period and
150,000 in the aggregate, (f) CS Securities issued or issuable
pursuant to the Notes, Preferred Stock, Warrants or any other
Transaction Document or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, (g) any CS Securities issuable upon the exercise of, or
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained within, any
options, restricted stock awards, preferred stock or warrants
outstanding on the date hereof (but not to the extent amended
hereafter) all of which are set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or (h)
any Common Stock issued upon the conversion of exercise of any
Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date hereof (but not
to the extent amended hereafter) all of which are set forth on
Schedule 2 hereto.
(e) Special Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
that may be contained herein, if at any time on or after the date hereof, the
Holder has pursuant to the Notes converted in excess of $1,500,000 of principal
amount of such Notes on account of the Company having delivered a "Company
Conversion Notice" pursuant to such Note, then upon each such conversion in
excess of $1,500,000 (a "Subsequent Conversion") the Exercise Price shall be
reduced (but not increased) to 110% of the Conversion Price in effect for each
such Subsequent Conversion.
(f) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to
the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, the number
of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, proportionately, so that after such
adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased
7
number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided, however,
the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any sale, issuance, distribution
or disposition of any such shares by the Company.
(h) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(i) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall on the earlier of the day
on which the Company (A) publicly announces such proposed action, or (B)
notifies its shareholders of such proposed action deliver to the Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
(j) Exception. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in
Section 9(d), in the event, and only in the event, an Event of Default under
Section 4(a)(viii) of the Notes has occurred, and no other Event of Default (as
defined in the Notes) has occurred, then Section 9(d) hereof shall only apply to
the extent sales of CS Securities by the Company exceed $15 million in the
aggregate.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.
11. Limitation on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
8
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this
Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in the
Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after
application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to
the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an
exercise hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance
of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned
by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 11(b)
will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section 11(b) applies, the
determination of the extent to which this Warrant is convertible shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered an
Exercise Notice for a number of Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other
shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in
the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall
notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the Exercise Notice to the extent
of the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted to be purchased at such
Exercise Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11(b).
12. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange
of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
9
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that such exercise, transfer or exchange may be made
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee is an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such
opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an
amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock
for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless the Holder requests
otherwise, no payment shall be required pursuant to this sentence until the
aggregate amount payable exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred
payments shall be made.
14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618;
facsimile: (609) 671-0995; attention Sidney Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer,
or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the
Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may
provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
15. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the
10
preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any
Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) The corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall
govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute
a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall
be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of
the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree
upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable
substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute
provision in this Warrant.
(e) This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting or other
rights as a stockholder of the Company, except to the extent the Holder has
purchased any Warrant Shares.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Second
Amendment") is dated as of November 1, 2001, by and among Universal Display
Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), and the Purchasers
identified on the signature pages hereto (each, a "Purchaser" and collectively,
the "Purchasers").
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 2001, as amended by the First
Amendment thereto dated as of September 20, 2001 (together, the "Purchase
Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers desire to further amend the
Purchase Agreement as set forth in full herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and mutual covenants
set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Except as expressly stated herein to the contrary,
capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Second Closing. Section 2.3(a) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
"(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement including, without limitation, Section 2.3(d)(ii), on the 3rd
Trading Day following the Conversion Shares Effective Date, the
Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell
to the Purchasers, the Second Shares. The closing of the purchase and
sale of the Second Shares is referred to as the "Second Closing."
3. Second Shares Measuring Period. Subsection (d)(i) of Section 2.3 of the
Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted.
4. Form of Second Certificate of Designation. The definition of
"Conversion Price" as used in the Second Certificate of Designation attached to
the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit B is amended to read as follows:
""Conversion Price" means $9.45, as adjusted pursuant to
Section 15 hereof."
In addition, Section 4 of the Second Certificate of Designation
attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit B is amended to read as follows:
"4. Stated Value. The "Stated Value" shall be increased by
$4.16 on the last day of each month beginning on November 30, 2001."
Section 9(c) of the Second Certificate of Designation attached to the
Purchase Agreement as Exhibit B is also amended to read as follows:
"(c) Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding Section 16(a)
hereof or any other provision to the contrary contained herein, but
subject to the satisfaction of the Equity Conditions and the provisions
of Section 16(b) hereof, on the second Trading Day after the Original
Issuance Date, all the shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted as
if the Holder had delivered a Conversion Notice with respect to such
shares on such day. In the event the Equity Conditions (other than the
requirements set forth in Section 16(a)) are not satisfied on the
second Trading Day after the Original Issuance Date, then all the
shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted on the first date
thereafter on which the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements
set forth in Section 16(a)) are satisfied as if the Holder had
delivered a Conversion Notice with respect to such shares on such day,
provided that such date occurs on or prior to the third anniversary of
the Original Issue Date. In the event the Equity Conditions (other than
the requirements set forth in Sections 16(a) and 16(b), which need not
be satisfied for this purpose) are not satisfied on the third
anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holder, at its option, may
require the Company to repurchase the Preferred Stock for an amount
equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock on such date. The
Holder shall exercise this option by delivering to the Company written
notice to that effect and the Company shall repurchase the Preferred
Stock on the fifth Business Day following the receipt of such notice
against delivery of the Preferred Stock."
5. Conversion of First Shares and Second Shares. Each of the Purchasers
represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof, the total
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchasers and their
Affiliates, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the First Shares and the Second Shares, does not exceed 9.999% of
the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock reported in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
including shares issuable upon conversion of the First Shares and the Second
Shares. Each of the Purchasers further agrees with and covenants to the Company
that, from the date hereof until the earlier of (x) the date on which all of the
First Shares and Second Shares are converted and (y) December 12, 2001, it will
not acquire a number of securities of the Company such that the conversion
limitations set forth in Section 16(b) in each of the First Certificate of
Designation and the Second Certificate of Designation would prevent the
conversion of all of the First Shares and Second Shares on the 2nd Trading Day
following the Second Closing.
6. Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. The first sentence of Section 4.5(f)
of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read
as follows:
2
"The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company
may issue pursuant to the Transaction Documents at any time at an
effective purchase price less than the "Market Value" (as defined in
Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(20)) of a share of Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Market Value")
equals 3,409,245 shares (the "Issuable Maximum"), unless the Company
obtains shareholder approval in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the applicable Trading Market including, without
limitation, Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)."
7. Ratification of Purchase Agreement. Except as expressly amended hereby,
all of the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
8. Controlling Law. This Second Amendment and all questions relating to
its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
notwithstanding any conflict of laws doctrines of such State or any other
jurisdiction to the contrary, and without the aid of any canon, custom or rule
of law requiring construction against the draftsman.
9. Execution in Counterparts and via Facsimile. This Second Amendment may
be executed via facsimile and in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears
thereon, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
This Second Amendment shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof,
individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of the Company and
each of the Purchasers.

to Securities Purchase Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

2. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Certificate of Designations, (a) the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto shall
have the meanings indicated therein, and (b) the following terms have the
meanings indicated:
"Company" means Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation.
"Conversion Price" means $9.45, as adjusted pursuant to
Section 15 hereof.
"Equity Conditions" means, with respect to a specified
issuance of Common Stock, that each of the following conditions is
satisfied: (i) the number of authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved shares of Common Stock is sufficient for such issuance; (ii)
such shares of Common Stock are registered for resale by the Holders
pursuant to an effective Conversion Shares Registration Statement or
all such shares may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act; (iii) the Common Stock is listed
or quoted (and is not suspended from trading) on an Eligible Market;
(iv) such issuance would be permitted in full without violating Section

Holder, dated as of August 22, 2001, as may hereafter be amended;
including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement and the Notes or
(B) any instrument or security issued pursuant to any of the agreements
referred to in the preceding clause (A).
"Holder" means any holder of Preferred Stock.
"Junior Securities" means the Common Stock and all other
equity or equity equivalent securities of the Company other than those
securities that are outstanding on the Original Issue Date and are
explicitly senior in dividend rights or liquidation preference to the

Preferred Stock and any shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
issued pursuant to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall not
be Junior Securities but shall rank pari passu with the Preferred
Stock.
"Original Issue Date" means the date of the first issuance of
any shares of the Preferred Stock regardless of the number of transfers
of any particular shares of Preferred Stock and regardless of the
number of certificates that may be issued to evidence such Preferred
Stock.
"Purchase Agreement" means the Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated August 22, 2001, among the Company and the original purchasers of
the Preferred Stock.
3. Dividends.
(a) Holders shall not be entitled to receive dividends on the Preferred
Stock.
4. Stated Value. The "Stated Value" shall be increased by $4.16 on the
last day of each month beginning on November 30, 2001.
5. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the Holders shall
be entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,000 for each share of Preferred
Stock, payable out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital
or surplus, and before any distribution or payment may be made to the holders of
any Junior Securities. If the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay such
amounts in full, then the entire amount of assets to be distributed shall be
distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the amount each Holder
would have received if such assets were sufficient to pay all such amounts in
full. The Company shall provide notice of any Liquidation or Change of Control
to each record Holder on the earlier of the day on which the Company (a)
publicly announces such event or proposed action, or (b) notifies its
shareholders of such event or proposed action. At the request of any Holder,
which must be delivered prior to the effective date of a Change of Control (or,
if later, within five Trading Days after such Holder receives notice of such
Change of Control from the Company), such Change of Control will be treated as a
Liquidation with respect to such Holder.
6. No Payments on Junior Securities. So long as any Preferred Stock is
outstanding, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or
2
indirectly, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities or set
aside any monies for such a redemption, purchase or other acquisition, and (ii)
the Company shall not pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on
any Junior Securities, except stock dividends on the Common Stock payable in
additional shares of Common Stock and dividends due and paid in the ordinary
course on preferred stock of the Company at such times as the Company is in
compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder.
7. Registration of Preferred Stock. The Company shall register shares
of the Preferred Stock, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose (the "Preferred Stock Register"), in the name of the record Holders
thereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of shares of Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of
any conversion hereof or any distribution to such Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
8. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer
of any shares of Preferred Stock in the Preferred Stock Register, upon surrender
of certificates evidencing such shares to the Company at its address specified
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the
shares of Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a
new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so
transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
9. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at Option of Holder. At the option of any Holder, any
Preferred Stock held by such Holder may be converted into Common Stock based on
the then-applicable Conversion Price. A Holder may convert Preferred Stock into
Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph at any time and from time to time after
the Original Issue Date and prior to August 22, 2004, by delivering to the
Company a conversion notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a
"Conversion Notice"), appropriately completed and duly signed, and the date any
such Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance
with the notice provisions hereof) is a "Conversion Date." A Holder shall
simultaneously deliver a copy of the Conversion Notice to the Transfer Agent;
provided, however, a Holder's failure to deliver such a copy shall not render
such Conversion Notice invalid or ineffective.
(b) Conversion at Option of Company. If, at any time after the
Effective Date, the Closing Price for twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days
exceeds 135% of the Conversion Price (the "Threshold Price"), the Company may
require the Holders to convert all of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock
based on the then-applicable Conversion Price. The Company may require a
conversion pursuant to this paragraph by delivering irrevocable written notice
of such election to the Holders, and the thirtieth Trading Day after the date
any such notice is delivered to the Holders (as determined in accordance with
the notice provisions hereof) will be the "Conversion Date" for such required
conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not require any
conversion under this paragraph (and any notice thereof will be void), unless
3
from the beginning of the period of twenty consecutive Trading Days through the
Conversion Date, the Equity Conditions (except for the condition set forth in
Section 16(a), which need not be satisfied for this purpose) are satisfied with
respect to all of the Underlying Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of
all outstanding Preferred Stock.
(c) Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding Section 16(a) hereof or
any other provision to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the
satisfaction of the Equity Conditions and the provisions of Section 16(b)
hereof, on the second Trading Day after the Original Issuance Date of the Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock, all the shares of Preferred Stock shall be
converted as if the Holder had delivered a Conversion Notice with respect to
such shares on such day. In the event the Equity Conditions (other than the
requirements set forth in Section 16(a)) are not satisfied on the second Trading
Day after the Original Issuance Date of the Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock, then all the shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted on the first
date thereafter on which the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set
forth in Section 16(a)) are satisfied as if the Holder had delivered a
Conversion Notice with respect to such shares on such day, provided that such
date occurs on or prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date. In
the event the Equity Conditions (other than the requirements set forth in
Sections 16(a) and 16(b), which need not be satisfied for this purpose) are not
satisfied on the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holder, at
its option, may require the Company to repurchase the Preferred Stock for an
amount equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock on such date. The Holder
shall exercise this option by delivering to the Company written notice to that
effect and the Company shall repurchase the Preferred Stock on the fifth
Business Day following the receipt of such notice against delivery of the
Preferred Stock.
10. Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion of
a share of Preferred Stock hereunder shall equal the Stated Value on the
Conversion Date of such share of Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by the
Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.
(b) Upon conversion of any Preferred Stock, the Company shall
promptly (but in no event later than four Trading Days after the Conversion
Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the
written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate (i) a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such
conversion, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering
the resale of the Underlying Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder is not then effective and such Underlying Shares are not
then freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, and (ii) a bank check in the amount of all accrued and
unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock so converted (if the Company has elected
or is required to pay such accrued dividends in cash). Within three Trading Days
after receipt thereof, the Holder will deliver the original certificate(s)
evidencing the Preferred Stock so converted to the Company, unless the Holder is
awaiting receipt of a new certificate evidencing such shares from the Company
pursuant to another provision hereof. The Holder, or any Person so designated by
the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder
of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date. The Company
shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Underlying
4
Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
(c) If a Holder is converting less than all shares of Preferred
Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered by such Holder to
the Company in connection with such conversion, or if such conversion cannot be
effected in full for any reason, the Company shall promptly deliver to such
Holder a new certificate representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock
not converted.
(d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares
upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by any Holder
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by any Holder or any other Person of any obligation to
the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by any Holder or any
other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise
limit such obligation of the Company to any Holder in connection with the
issuance of such Underlying Shares.
11. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required
by applicable law, the Holders shall not be entitled to vote on any matters. So
long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not,
without the affirmative vote of the Holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers,
preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this
Certificate of Designation, (b) except for Series D Convertible Preferred Stock,
authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution
of assets upon a Liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the
Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate or articles of incorporation or other
charter documents so as to affect adversely any rights of the Holders, or (d)
increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock.
12. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 12, issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock and for
Underlying Shares issued on conversion of (or otherwise in respect of) the
Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
be entitled to withhold any applicable taxes with respect to the actual or
deemed payment of any dividends on the Preferred Stock (whether in cash or
shares of stock) and with respect to the payment of any cash in lieu of the
issuance of fractional shares pursuant to Section 17 hereof; and further
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Common Stock or Preferred Stock in a name other than that of
the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring the Preferred Stock or receiving
Underlying Shares in respect of the Preferred Stock.
13. Replacement Certificates. If any certificate evidencing Preferred
Stock or Underlying Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
5
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for such certificate, a new
certificate, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
14. Reservation of Underlying Shares. The Company covenants that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the
number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) all outstanding Preferred Stock
(taking into account the adjustments of Section 15), free from preemptive rights
or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The
Company covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly
authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
15. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 15.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while
Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Preferred Stock),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any
other shares of capital stock, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any
event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that
a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such
Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then, at the request of any Holder delivered before the
90th day after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within
five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of
such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Underlying Shares for which such Holder's
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such record date.
6
If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of Preferred Stock that occurs
after such record date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed
Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such
number of Underlying Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such
Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while Preferred Stock
is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then upon any subsequent conversion of Preferred
Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share
that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental
Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration"). For
purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Variable Conversion
Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share
of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion
the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any conversion of Preferred Stock following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new series of preferred stock consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred
stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which
a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
(c) and insuring that the Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security)
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock
(collectively, "Common Stock Equivalents" and together with Common
7
Stock sometimes hereinafter called "CS Securities") at an effective
price per share of Common Stock (the "Effective Price") less than
the Conversion Price (as adjusted hereunder to such date), then the
Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Effective Price. For
purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in connection with any
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents
(the "Deemed Number") shall be deemed to be outstanding upon
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (y) the Effective Price
applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value
of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common
Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into
Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number, and (z) no further
adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) If, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Company or any Subsidiary has outstanding any Common Stock
Equivalents with an Effective Price that floats or resets or
otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices
of the Common Stock (a "Floating Price Security"), then for purposes
of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any
subsequent conversion, the Effective Price will be determined
separately on each Conversion Date and will be deemed to equal the
lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price
Security is entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock on such
Conversion Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually
acquires any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made
under this Section 13(d) in respect of (a) any grant of options to
employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by the Company's
board of directors (provided, that the number of shares of Common
Stock which are the subject of any such plan may not exceed
2,800,000, subject to annual increases of up to 40% of the shares
authorized under such plans during the immediately preceding year),
(b) the issuance of CS Securities upon exercise of any such options,
(c) the issuance of CS Securities under the PPG Agreement or the
Motorola Agreement (d) up to 1,000,000 of CS Securities issued in
connection with any contractual strategic alliances approved by the
Company's Board of Directors; (e) the issuance of any CS Securities
representing or convertible into up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock
in any single transaction; provided that this subsection (e) shall
only apply to the first 50,000 shares in the aggregate issued in any
consecutive 12 month period and 150,000 in the aggregate; (f) CS
Securities issued or issuable pursuant to the Notes, Preferred
Stock, Warrants or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions thereof; (g) any CS Securities issuable
upon the exercise of, or pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
contained within, any options, restricted stock awards, preferred
stock or warrants outstanding on the date hereof (but not to the
extent amended hereafter) all of which are set forth on Schedule
8
3.1(g) to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the
offices of the Company and which will be made available to any
Holder upon request; or (h) any Common Stock issued upon the
conversion of exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding
as of the date hereof (but not to the extent amended hereafter) all
of which are set forth on; Schedule 3.1(g) to the Purchase
Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the offices of the Company
and which will be made available to any Holder upon request;
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 15 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition
of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
pursuant to this Section 15, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate
describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise
thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written
request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to
each Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a notice
describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, on the earlier
of the day on which the Company (a) publicly announces such proposed action or
(b) notifies its Shareholders of such proposed action, and the Company will take
all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that each Holder is given the
practical opportunity to convert its Preferred Stock prior to such time so as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
16. Limitation on Conversion. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by any Holder upon any conversion of Preferred Stock (or otherwise in
respect of the Preferred Stock) shall be limited to the extent necessary to
insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of
shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates
and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act,
does not exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
9
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a
Conversion Notice by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder
that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined
that issuance of the full number of Underlying Shares requested in such
Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph. By written notice to the
Company, any Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or
decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such
notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or
increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and not to any other Holder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein,
the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by any Holder upon any
conversion of Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect of the Preferred Stock)
shall be limited to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of this Note after
application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to
the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a
conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be
beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have
the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in
this Section 14(b) will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
14(b) applies, the determination of the extent to which the Preferred Stock is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice or the Company is requiring conversion
pursuant to Section 9(b) in either case, that, without regard to any other
shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in
the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall
notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum
amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date.
17. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Underlying Shares on conversion of Preferred
Stock. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions
of this Section, be issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company
shall pay an amount in cash equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the
Common Stock for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including)
the Conversion Date multiplied by such fraction; provided that, unless a Holder
requests otherwise, no payment shall be required to be made to a Holder pursuant
to this sentence until the aggregate amount payable to such Holder in connection
with such conversion (together with unpaid amounts from prior conversions)
exceeds $1,000, at which time all previously deferred payments shall be made.
18. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Conversion Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date
10
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, or (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service.. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)
if to the Company, to 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08618,
facsimile: (609) 671-0995, Attention Sidney Rosenblatt, or (ii) if to a Holder,
to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company's stockholder
records or such other address or facsimile number as such Holder may provide to
the Company in accordance with this Section.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Certificate of Designations and shall not be deemed to
limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
(b) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to
be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right.

Re: Universal Display Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-3 Relating to the Registration of
2,737,620 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value
------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Universal Display Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, relating to 2,737,620 shares (the "Shares")
of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to
be sold by the selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement (the
"Selling Shareholders").
The Shares consist of shares of Common Stock that (i) are issuable upon the
conversion of (A) 5,000 shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series C Shares") and (B) up to 5,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series D Shares") that the Selling Shareholders may acquire in the
future in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated
as of August 22, 2001 among the Company and the purchasers identified therein,
as amended (the "Purchase Agreement"); and (ii) may be issuable upon the
exercise of warrants (as amended, the "Warrants") issued as of August 22, 2001
in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and a letter agreement
between the Company and Gerard Klauer Mattison & Co., Inc. (the "GKM
Agreement").
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have examined the Registration
Statement and the exhibits thereto (including, without limitation, the Statement
of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series C Statement") filed with the Department of State of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Statement of Designations, Preferences and
Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Statement") filed
with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Purchase
Agreement and the Warrants), the GKM Agreement, certain records of the Company's
corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books and such statutes,
records and other documents as we have deemed relevant. In our
II-1
examination, we have assumed: (i) that the Series D Shares will be issued and
sold in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) the
genuineness of documents submitted to us as originals and the genuineness of,
and conformity with, the original of all documents submitted to us as copies
thereof.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the portion of the
Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Shares are duly authorized
and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Series C Statement, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the portion of the Shares
issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Shares are duly authorized and,
following the issuance of the Series D Shares in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement, will be, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
Series D Statement, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (iii)
that the portion of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are
duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinion set forth above is limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our firm under
the caption "Legal Opinion" in the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are acting
within the category of persons whose consent is required under section 7 of the
Act or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder.
Very truly yours,
