ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On September 19, 2001, SK Corporation ("SK"), an affiliate of SK Group of Korea
and eMagin Corporation ("eMagin" or the "Company") announced SK's investment as
part of a strategic alliance of $3,000,000 in eMagin Corporation (the
"Transaction") pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between SK and eMagin
dated as of September 18, 2001 (the "Closing Date"). For its $3 million
investment in eMagin, SK received (i) the Company's 4% Series A Convertible
Debentures (the "Debentures") in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000,
and (ii) warrants ("Warrants") exercisable for a period of three (3) years to
purchase 205,479 shares of common stock of eMagin. Interest is payable on the
Debentures at a rate of 4% per annum and, at the option of the Company, may be
paid through the delivery of shares of common stock of the Company (registered
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below) in lieu of cash
interest payments. Subject to certain limitations, the Debentures may be
converted, at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, into common shares
with a conversion price equal to 105% of the volume weighted average of the
closing prices of the Company's common shares as reported on The American Stock
Exchange for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date.
The Debentures also contain certain redemption rights for the benefit of the
holder for a period commencing on September 19, 2002. The Debentures, the
Warrants, and the common stock issuable thereon also contain prohibitions on
transfer for a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date.
In connection with the completion of the transactions under the Securities
Purchase Agreement, eMagin and SK also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of September 18, 2001, providing SK with certain registration
rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the
Company's common stock issued or issuable in lieu of cash interest payments on
the Debentures, upon conversion of the Debentures and/or exercise of the
Warrants.
The foregoing is not intended to be a full and complete description of the
transaction. Terms of the transaction are more fully described in the copies of
the Securities Purchase Agreement, the form of 4% Series A Convertible
Debenture, the form of Stock Purchase Warrant, and the Registration Rights
Agreement attached as exhibits to this Form 8-K.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:
I. Purchase and Sale of the Debentures and Warrants

Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares, the "Securities") for its own account,
for investment purposes only and not with a view towards or in connection with
the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) is experienced in making

(v) is able to afford the loss of its investment in the Securities. Buyer
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk.
C. Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold by
the Company in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and equivalent state securities and "blue sky" laws, and that
the Company is relying upon the accuracy of, and Buyer's compliance with,
Buyer's representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement to
determine the availability of such exemption and the eligibility of Buyer to
purchase the Securities;
D. Buyer understands that the Securities have not been approved or
disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any
state securities commission.
E. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of Buyer enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally
2
and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal or
state securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws.

their behalf has the intention of entering, or will enter into any put option,

Common Stock, and neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting
on its or their behalf will use at any time shares of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to this Agreement to settle any put option, short position or other
similar instrument or position that may have been entered into prior to the
execution of this Agreement.
G. Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all
materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been
requested by Buyer. Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the Company.
H. Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or
any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any

of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or
endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
I. Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered
under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for
sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered
thereunder, (B) Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel,
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that
such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) Buyer
provides the Company with an assurance (which assurance shall be acceptable to
the Company in its reasonable discretion and shall include, without limitation,
an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Company) that such Securities could then be sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended (or a successor
rule thereto) ("Rule 144"); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further,
if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances

to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.

Securities are subject to a one-year holding period during which time the
Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed without the
written consent of the Company.
K. (a) To Buyer's knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance
by the Buyer of this Agreement and each of the other documents to which it is a
party contemplated
3
hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
do not and will not contravene (x) any United States federal, state or local
law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, decree or permit of any
governmental authority and (y) any rule or listing requirement of The American
Stock Exchange, Inc. (collectively "Applicable Law"). To the Buyer's knowledge
the execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of each of this Agreement
and each of the other documents to which it is a party contemplated hereby and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) will
not violate, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or
lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration) under any contract to which the Buyer is party or
by which the Buyer is bound or to which any of its assets is subject, except for
any such violations, breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
other documents contemplated hereby, and (ii) will not conflict with or violate
any provision of the certificate of formation or operating agreement or other
governing documents of the Buyer.
(b) No consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration
with, any governmental authority or other person or entity is required to be
obtained or made by the Buyer for the execution, delivery and performance of any
of this Agreement and each of the other documents to which it is a party
contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, except where the failure to obtain such consents, authorizations or
orders, or make such filings or registrations, would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement and each of
the other documents to which it is a party contemplated hereby and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
L. Buyer is not itself, and no part of the assets used or to be used
by it to purchase and/or hold the Securities, or any interest therein,
constitute assets of an employee benefit plan which is subject to Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or a plan which is
subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an
entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any such
employee benefit plan's or plan's investment in such entity.
M. Buyer, and each subsequent holder of the Securities, covenants that
it will not transfer or dispose of the Securities to be purchased by it or any
interest therein to any Person unless such Person shall (a) make all warranties
and representations of Buyer contained in Section II hereof and (b) assume all
covenants of Buyer contained in this Section II.M. in a written instrument
delivered to and reasonably satisfactory to the Company, provided however that
the restrictions of this Section II.M. shall not apply to any public sale or
other transfer made through a national securities exchange, including without
limitation, the American Stock Exchange.
III. The Company's Representations
The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that:
4

amended (the "1934 Act") (the "SEC Filings") or on Schedule III.A.3. hereto,
there are no preemptive, subscription, "call," right of first refusal or other
similar rights to acquire any capital stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or other voting securities of the Company that have been issued or
granted to any person.
4. Schedule III.A.4. hereto or the SEC Filings list all the
subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiaries"). Except as disclosed on
Schedule III.A.4. hereto, in the SEC Filings or as would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), the Company does

liability company, unincorporated business organization, association, trust or
other business entity.
B. Organization; Reporting Company Status.
1. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is a corporation duly
organized, and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state
or jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation in all jurisdictions in which the failure so to qualify would
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
results of operations or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries
taken as a whole or on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (a "Material Adverse Effect").
2. The Company has registered the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The
Common Stock is listed and traded on the American Stock Exchange ("Amex") and,
except as set forth on Schedule III.B.2 or the SEC Filings, the Company has not
received any notice regarding, and to
5
its knowledge there is no threat of, the termination or discontinuance of the
eligibility of the Common Stock for such listing.
C. Authorization. The Company (i) has duly and validly authorized and
reserved for issuance 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which is a number
sufficient for the issuance of the Conversion Shares, Interest Shares and
Warrant Shares in full, and (ii) at all times from and after the date hereof
shall have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock duly and validly
authorized and reserved for issuance of the Conversion Shares, Interest Shares
and Warrant in full. Schedule III.C. hereto and the SEC Filings set forth (i)
all issuances and sales by the Company since December 31, 2000 of its capital
stock, and other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for

thereof, and (iv) the amount paid therefor.
D. Authority; Validity and Enforceability. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to perform its obligations under the
Debentures and the Warrants and to enter into the Documents (as hereinafter
defined) and to perform all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder
(including the issuance, sale and delivery to Buyer of the Securities). The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Documents and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Company. Each of the Documents has been duly and validly executed
and delivered by the Company and each Document constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and
remedies generally and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be
limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying such
laws. The Securities have been duly and validly authorized for issuance by the
Company and, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with
their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors'
rights and remedies generally. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Documents" means (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement;
(iii) the Debentures; and (iv) the Warrants.
E. Validity of Issuance of the Securities. The Debentures and Warrants
as of the Closing Date, and the Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares and the
Warrant Shares upon their issuance in accordance with the Debentures and the
Warrants, respectively, will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and, except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Filings, not
subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights,
drag-along rights or other similar rights.
F. Non-contravention. Except as set forth on Schedule III.F., the SEC
Filings or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Documents, the issuance
of the Securities, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby do
6
not, and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and other Documents
will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or
without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, or result in the
creation of any Lien (as defined in Section III.T.) upon any of the material
properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, or result
in the termination of, or require that any consent be obtained or any notice be
given with respect to, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the
Company or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, or other agreement,
instrument or permit applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
their respective properties or assets, or (iii) any Applicable Law (as defined
in Section II.J.) applicable to, or any judgment, decree or order of any court
or government body having jurisdiction over, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets.
G. Approvals. No authorization, approval or consent of any court or
public or governmental authority is required to be obtained by the Company for
the issuance and sale of the Debentures or the Warrants (or the Conversion
Shares, the Interest Shares or Warrant Shares) to Buyer as contemplated by this
Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents as have been
obtained by the Company prior to the date hereof.
H. Commission Filings. The Company has properly and timely filed with
the Commission all reports, proxy statements, forms and other documents required
to be filed with the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
since July 1, 1998 (the "Commission Filings"). As of their respective dates, (i)
the Commission Filings complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to such
Commission Filings, and (ii) none of the Commission Filings contained at the
time of its filing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not materially misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in
the Commission Filings, as of the dates of such documents, were true and
complete in all material respects and complied with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States ("GAAP") (except in the case of unaudited
statements permitted by Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act) applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto) and fairly presented the consolidated financial position of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments that
in the aggregate are not material and to any other adjustment described
therein).
I. Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule III.I. or as
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are
(i) no suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) no
judgments, decrees, injunctions or orders of any court or other governmental
entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company or any Subsidiary.
7
J. Absence of Events of Default. Except as set forth in Schedule
III.J. or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
no "Event of Default" (as defined in any agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party) and no event which, with notice, lapse of time or both,
would constitute an Event of Default (as so defined), has occurred and is
continuing.
K. Financial Statements. Each of the Financial Statements is complete
and correct in all material respects, has been prepared in accordance with GAAP
(subject, in the case of the interim Financial Statements, to normal year end
adjustments and the absence of footnotes), and fairly presents the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as at the dates
and for the periods indicated. For purposes hereof, December 31, 2000 is
hereinafter referred to as the "Balance Sheet Date". For the purposes of this
Section III.K., the term "Financial Statements" means (i) audited balance sheet
of the Company and the Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively, and the related audited statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three fiscal years ended December
31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 including the related notes and schedules thereto and
(ii) unaudited balance sheets of the Company and the Subsidiaries and the
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows as at the
end of and for each fiscal quarter ended since December 31, 2000 including the
related notes and schedules thereto and all management letters, if any, from the
Company's independent auditors relating to the dates and periods covered by the
Financial Statements.
L. Compliance with Laws; Permits. Except as would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations, codes and statutes
(collectively, "Laws") applicable to it or to the conduct of its business. The
Company possesses all material permits, approvals, authorizations, licenses,
certificates and consents from all public and governmental authorities which are
necessary to conduct its business.
M. Related Party Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule III.M.
hereto or in the Commission Filings, neither the Company nor any of its
officers, directors or "Affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Exchange Act) nor any family member of any officer, director or Affiliate of
the Company has borrowed any moneys from or has outstanding any indebtedness or
other similar obligations to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. Except as
set forth on Schedule III.M. hereto or in the Commission Filings, neither the
Company nor any of its officers, directors or Affiliates nor any family member
of any officer, director or Affiliate of the Company (i) owns any direct or
indirect interest constituting more than a 1% equity (or similar profit
participation) interest in, or controls or is a director, officer, partner,
member or employee of, or consultant or lender to or borrower from, or has the
right to participate in the profits of, any person or entity which is (x) a
competitor, supplier, customer, landlord, tenant, creditor or debtor of the
Company or any Subsidiary, (y) engaged in a business related to the business of
the Company or any Subsidiary, or (z) a participant in any transaction to which
the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or (ii) is a party to any contract,
agreement, commitment or other arrangement with the Company or any Subsidiary.
8
N. Insurance. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries maintains
property and casualty, general liability, workers' compensation, environmental
hazard, personal injury and other similar types of insurance that is adequate
and consistent with industry standards and the Company's historical claims
experience. None of the Company or the Subsidiaries has received notice from,
and none of them has knowledge of any claim by, any insurer (that has issued any
insurance policy to the Company or any Subsidiary) that such insurer intends to
deny coverage under or cancel, discontinue or not renew any insurance policy
presently in force.

are listed in Schedule III.R. and copies of all documentation relating to such
Plans (including, but not limited to, to the extent applicable, copies of
written Plans, summary plan descriptions, trust agreements, the three most
recent annual returns, and IRS determination letters) have been delivered to or
made available for review by the Buyer. Each Plan has at all times been
maintained and administered in all material respects in accordance with its
terms and the requirements of applicable law, including ERISA and the Code,
except for any failures to so maintain or administer a Plan that would not,
individually or in the Aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Plan intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code
has received a favorable determination letter or opinion letter from the
Internal Revenue Service, or is within the remedial amendment period under
Section 401(b) of the Code for submitting an application for any such
determination letter, and nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected
to adversely affect any such determination letter or opinion letter, since the
date thereof, or the refusal of the Internal Revenue Service to issue any such
determination letter. No Reportable Event has occurred, been waived or exists as

required to file a report with the PBGC that would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all liabilities under
each Pension Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) listed in
Schedule III.R. did not, as of the most recent annual valuation date applicable
thereto, exceed the value of the assets of such Pension Plan by an amount that
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the
Company, its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any Withdrawal Liability with respect to any Multi-employer
Plan that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
None of the Company, its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates has received any
notification that any Multi-employer Plan is in reorganization or has been
terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no Multi-employer Plan
is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or termination where such
reorganization or termination has resulted or would reasonably be expected to
result in increases to the contributions required to be made to such Plan by an
amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
No direct, contingent or secondary liability has been incurred or is expected to
be incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under Title IV of ERISA to
any party with respect to any Plan, or with respect to any other Plan presently
or heretofore maintained or contributed to by any ERISA Affiliate. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates has incurred any
liability for any tax imposed under sections 4971 through 4980B of the Code or
civil liability under section 502(i) or (l) of ERISA that would, individually or
in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
No suit, action or other litigation or any other claim which would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (excluding claims for benefits
incurred in the ordinary course of plan activities) has been brought or, to the
10
knowledge of the Company, threatened against or with respect to any Plan and
there are no facts or circumstances known to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to give rise
to any such suit, action or other litigation. All contributions to Plans that
were required to be made prior to the date hereof under such Plans have been

or otherwise adequately reserved in accordance with GAAP, all of which accruals

$50,000 of any Loss actually incurred, and, provided further, that to the extent
the amount of any Loss exceeds such amount, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be
entitled to recover only the amount in excess of that amount, and provided

Losses, and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel) in each case
promptly as incurred by the Company Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of
or in connection with:
1. any material misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any
of Buyer's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the
other Documents, or the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or thereto or any
instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by Buyer pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Documents; or
2. any failure by Buyer to perform in any material respect any of its
covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement
or the other Documents or any instrument, certificate or agreement entered into
or delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or the other Documents;
provided, however that the Company Indemnitees shall bear the first
$50,000 of any Loss actually incurred, and, provided further, that to the extent
the amount of any Loss exceeds such amount, the Company Indemnitees shall be
entitled to recover only the amount in excess of that amount.
D. Promptly after receipt by either party hereto seeking
indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (an "Indemnified Party") of written
notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of
which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this
Article IX is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement
20
thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits
substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with any
Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are
parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof.
Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal
counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying
Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such
separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the
Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and
expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall
have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as
reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially
differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such
Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that
are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party,
or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of
time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party
employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in
clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal
counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided
above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of
legal counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local
counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle
or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not
include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities
with respect to such Claim or judgment.

the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient
forum or improper venue to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or
domicile. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the
service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding in such courts
by the mailing of copies of such process by certified or registered airmail at
its address specified in Article XVII. Each party hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such
21
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and appointments of agents to receive
service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process
in the State of New York for any purpose except as provided above and shall not
be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the respective parties to
this Agreement. The prevailing party or parties in any such litigation shall be
entitled to receive from the losing party or parties all costs and expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the prevailing party or parties.

remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to

replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions

agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or

Debentures, each in the denomination of $500,000 or an integral multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof, dated as of the date of this Debenture (which shall
accrue interest from the most recent Interest Payment Due Date on which an
interest payment was made in full), and, subject to Section 4.2, payable to such
Person or order as may be designated by such Holder. The aggregate Principal
Amount of the Debenture or Debentures exchanged in accordance with this Section
2.1 shall equal the aggregate unpaid Principal Amount of this Debenture as of
the date of such surrender; provided, however, that upon any exchange pursuant
to this Section 2.1 there shall be filed with the Company the name and address
for all purposes hereof of the Holder or Holders of the Debenture or Debentures
delivered in such exchange. The debenture exchanged in accordance with this

conversion, shall (if so required by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Company duly executed, by the Holder duly authorized in writing.
Notwithstanding the above, the Holder shall not transfer this Debenture or any
rights hereunder to any person or entity which is engaged in a business that in
the reasonable judgment of the Company is in competition with the Company.
Section 2.2 Loss, Theft, Destruction of Debenture. Upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Debenture and, in the case of any such loss, theft or

cancellation of the entirety of this Debenture, the Company shall make, issue
and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Debenture, a
new Debenture of like tenor and unpaid Principal Amount dated as of the date

Date on which an interest payment was made in full). This Debenture shall be
held and owned upon the express condition that the provisions of this Section
2.2 are exclusive with respect to the replacement of a mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Debenture and shall preclude any and all other rights and
remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the
contrary with respect to the replacement of negotiable instruments or other
securities without the surrender thereof.
Section 2.3 Who Deemed Absolute Owner. The Company may deem the Person
in whose name this Debenture shall be registered upon the registry books of the

the conversion , redemption or maturity of this Debenture and for all other
purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

extent of the sum or sums so paid or the conversion, conversions or redemptions
so made.
Section 2.4 Repayment at Maturity. At the Maturity Date, the Company
shall repay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture in whole at one
hundred percent (100%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together with all

ARTICLE 3
CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE
Section 3.1 Conversion; Redemption by Holder. (a) At the option of the
Holder, this Debenture may be converted, either in whole or in part, up to the
full Principal Amount hereof (in increments of $100,000 in Principal Amount or
any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) into Common Shares
(calculated as to each such conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share), at
any time and from time to time on any Business Day after the Closing Date (the
"Initial Conversion Date"), subject to the limitations in the next sentence and
compliance with Section 3.2. The number of Common Shares into which this
Debenture may be converted is equal to (x) the Principal Amount of the Debenture
being converted at the Conversion Date (plus any accrued and unpaid interest on
the Debenture being converted through the Conversion Date) divided by (y) the
Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall be equal to 105% of the volume
weighted average of the closing prices of the Common Shares as reported on Amex
for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Fixed
Price") (subject to adjustment for any stock-split or stock combination to occur
after the date hereof). At the Company's option, the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest as of the Conversion Date shall not be subject to conversion but
instead may be paid in cash as of the Conversion Date; if the Company elects to
convert the amount of accrued and unpaid interest at the Conversion Date into
Common Stock, the Common Stock issued to the Holder shall be valued at the
applicable Conversion Price.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period commencing
September 19, 2002 (the "Put Exercise Date"), the Holder shall have the right to
cause the Company to redeem this Debenture at a price in cash equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided, however, that the Holder shall only have the right to redeem 25% of
this Debenture pursuant to this paragraph in any ninety (90) consecutive
calendar day period; provided, further, however, that with respect to any
Redemption exercised pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its sole
option, elect to deliver to the Holder shares of Common Stock with an aggregate
Market Price equal to the redemption price specified above. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company agrees to take into consideration written request(s) from
the Holder to pay any Redemption in cash. Except as otherwise expressly
specified in this
-7-
paragraph, all terms and conditions applicable to a redemption or conversion of
all or any portion of this Debenture as specified in this Article 3 and
otherwise herein, shall apply to any redemption or conversion pursuant to this
paragraph.
Section 3.2 Exercise of Redemption or Conversion Privilege. Redemption
or conversion of this Debenture, as the case may be, may be exercised, in whole
or in part, on any Business Day by the Holder by delivering an executed and
completed Redemption/Conversion Notice to the Company along with the Debenture
or Debentures to be so redeemed or converted. The Redemption/Conversion Notice
shall specify whether the notice relates to a redemption or conversion of the
Debentures or both, and the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be
redeemed or converted, as the case may be. Each date on which a
Redemption/Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.2 shall constitute a Redemption Date or Conversion
Date, as the case may be. The Company shall convert the Debenture and issue the
Common Stock Issued At Redemption/Conversion in the manner provided below in
this Section 3.2, and all voting and other rights associated with the beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock Issued At Redemption/Conversion shall vest with
the Holder, effective as of the Conversion Date at the time specified in the
applicable Redemption/Conversion Notice. Upon receiving a Redemption/Conversion
Notice properly demanding a Redemption of all or a portion of this Debenture,
the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days, determine whether it wishes to
exercise its right to redeem this Debenture with shares of Common Stock in lieu
of cash. If the Company elects to redeem this Debenture using the shares of
Common Stock, then the Company shall redeem the Debenture and issue the Common
Stock Issued At Redemption/Conversion in the manner provided below in this
Section 3.2, and all voting and other rights associated with the beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock Issued At Redemption/Conversion shall vest with
the Holder, effective as of the Redemption Date at the time specified in the
applicable Redemption/Conversion Notice. The Redemption/Conversion Notice also
shall state the name or names (with addresses) of the Persons who are to become
the holders of the Common Stock Issued At Redemption/Conversion, if any, in
connection with such redemption or conversion. Upon surrender for redemption or
conversion, this Debenture shall be accompanied by a proper assignment hereof to
the Company or be endorsed in blank. As promptly as practicable after the
receipt of the Redemption/Conversion Notice as aforesaid, but in any event not
more than five (5) Business Days after, in the case of a Conversion, the
Company's receipt of the applicable Redemption/Conversion Notice and all
associated Debentures and, in the case of a Redemption, the Company's receipt of
the applicable Redemption/Conversion Notice and all associated Debentures and
the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period during which the Company is
required to determine the form of the consideration to be paid in redemption,
the Company shall (i) issue the Common Stock Issued At Redemption/Conversion in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 3, and (ii) cause to be mailed
for delivery by overnight courier or transmit to the Holder (x) a certificate or
certificate(s) representing the number of whole Common Shares, if any, to which
the Holder is entitled by virtue of such redemption or conversion, (y) cash, as
provided in Section 3.3, in respect of any fraction of a Common Share issuable
upon such conversion and (z) if, upon any Conversion, the Company chooses to pay
accrued and unpaid interest in cash, cash in the amount of accrued and unpaid
interest on the Debenture being converted as of the Conversion Date. Such
redemption or conversion shall be deemed to have
-8-
been effected at the time at which the Redemption/Conversion Notice indicates so
long as this Debenture shall have been surrendered as aforesaid at such time,
and at such time the rights of the Holder of this Debenture, as such (except if
and to the extent that any Principal Amount thereof remains unconverted), shall
cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names the Common Stock, if any,
Issued at Redemption or Conversion shall be issuable shall be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record of the Common Shares represented thereby,
and all voting and other rights associated with the beneficial ownership of such
Common Shares shall at such time vest with such Person or Persons. The
Redemption/Conversion Notice shall constitute a contract between the Holder and
the Company, whereby the Holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of
Common Shares which it will be entitled to receive upon such conversion or
redemption and, in payment and satisfaction of such subscription (and for any
cash adjustment to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.4), to surrender
this Debenture and to release the Company from all liability thereon (except if
and to the extent that any Principal Amount thereof remains unconverted);
provided, that, in the case of any redemption in which the form of consideration
elected by the Company is cash, this sentence shall be deemed to be inoperative.
No cash payment aggregating less than $1.00 shall be required to be given.
Section 3.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
representing fractional Common Shares shall be delivered upon conversion of this
Debenture. Instead of any fractional Common Shares which otherwise would be
delivered upon conversion or redemption of this Debenture, the Company shall pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price on the Conversion Date. No cash
payment of less than $1.00 shall be required to be given.
Section 3.4 Adjustments.
(a) In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the
Company is not the survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company), sell, convey, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another
Person, or effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions in which
more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each, a
"Fundamental Corporate Change") and, pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental
Corporate Change, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights)
in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the
holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Debenture Stock
shall have the right thereafter, at its sole option, either (x) to receive the
number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of
the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property as is
receivable upon or as a result of such Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such the outstanding portion
of the Debenture may be converted at the Conversion Price applicable immediately
prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change or (y) require the Company, or such
successor, resulting or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, to, without
benefit of any additional consideration therefor, to execute and deliver to the
Holder a debenture with substantial identical rights, privileges, powers,
-9-
restrictions and other terms as this Debenture in an amount equal to the amount
this Debenture which is outstanding immediately prior to such Fundamental
Corporate Change. For purposes of this Section 3.4(b), "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to prepayment and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4(a) shall similarly
apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Changes.
(b) If the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a
distribution to Holders of the Outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the
date following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock Outstanding at the close of business on the record date
fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number
of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other
distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following such record date. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 3.4(b) is declared but not so
paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion
Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not
been declared;
(c) If the Outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or
reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon
which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and,
conversely, if the Outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination
becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or
increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective
Section 3.5 Optional Prepayment. At any time after the Effective Date
and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company, upon notice delivered to the Holder
as provided in Section 3.6, may prepay this Debenture in whole or in part at the
Optional Prepayment Price, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to the date of prepayment.
Section 3.6 Notice of Prepayment. Notice of optional prepayment
pursuant to Section 3.5 ("Notice of Optional Prepayment") shall be provided by
the Company to the Holder in writing at the Holder's last address appearing in
the Company's security registry not less than thirty (30) Business Days prior to
the prepayment date and no more than forty five (45) Business Days prior to the
prepayment date, which notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto, specify the prepayment date and refer to Section 3.5 (including a
statement of the prepayment price), and this Section 3.6. Notwithstanding any
sending of a Notice of Optional
-10-
Prepayment, the Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the
Debentures pursuant to Section 3.2 until the applicable prepayment date.
Section 3.7 Surrender of Debentures. Upon any redemption or prepayment
of this Debenture pursuant to Sections 3.2, or 3.5, or upon maturity pursuant to
Section 2.4, the Holder shall either deliver this Debenture by hand to the
Company at its principal executive offices or surrender the same to the Company
at such address by nationally recognized overnight courier. Payment of the
redemption or prepayment price pursuant to Sections 3.2, or 3.5, or the amount
due on maturity specified in Section 2.4, shall be made by the Company to the
Holder against receipt of this Debenture (as provided in this Section 3.7) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as the Holder
shall specify by written notice to the Company. If payment of such prepayment
price is not made in full by the prepayment date, or the amount due on maturity
is not paid in full by the Maturity Date, the Holder shall again have the right
to convert this Debenture as provided in Article 3 hereof or to declare an Event
of Default.
Section 3.8 Mandatory Early Conversion at Request of Company. During
the period commencing after the date on which the Commission declares the
Registration Statement effective (the "Effective Date") and until the Maturity
Date, in the event (i) the Registration Statement shall continuously be
effective uninterrupted from the Effective Date and (ii) the fifteen (15) day
volume weighted average closing price (as reported on the Principal Exchange on
which the Common Stock of the Company trades), of the Common Stock exceeds 210%
of the Conversion Price, at the option of the Company, exercisable by written
notice to the Holder on the trading day on which the closing price of the Common
Stock exceeds the Conversion Price by 210%, the Company may convert all or any
portion of this Debenture into Common Stock at the Conversion Price (and
otherwise subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 3.1 hereof).

of any conflict between the terms of this Warrant and the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated as of September 18, 2001 pursuant to which this Warrant has been
issued (the "Purchase Agreement"), the Purchase Agreement shall control.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
1
1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the
Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other
than (x) taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue) and (y) liens and charges created by the then-current Holder, or any
former Holder of this Warrant).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or
times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the close of
business on the Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the
Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate
by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) and upon payment on or before the
Termination Date of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by
wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank, or by means
of a cashless exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares so purchased. Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within three
(3) Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been
exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued,
and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes,
as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of
the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any,
pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the
Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by
this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical
with this Warrant.
(c) This Warrant shall also be exercisable by means of a
"cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
2
(A) = the closing price per share of Common Stock (as reported by
the American Stock Exchange (or principal market)) on the Trading
Day preceding the date of such election on the American Stock
Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the American
Stock Exchange, then the Principal Market in terms of volume;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and the
Notice of Exercise.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the
Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. [Reserved].
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws,
transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part,
shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such
purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially
in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the
making of such transfer. In the event that the Holder wishes to transfer a
portion of this Warrant, the Holder shall transfer at least 25,000 shares
underlying this Warrant to any such transferee. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment,
and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of
this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without
3
having a new Warrant issued. Notwithstanding the above, the Holder shall
not transfer this warrant or any rights hereunder to any person or entity
which is engaged in a business that is in the reasonable judgment of the
Company is in competition with the Company.
(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants
upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together
with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new
Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be
involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants
to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price or by means of a cashless exercise, the
Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder
as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of
the date of such surrender or payment.
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day
for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares for
Stock Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a
distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or
4
(iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common
Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of
the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such
Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind
and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are
purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at
an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of
the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
12. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to elect to
receive, (i) upon exercise of this Warrant at the Exercise Price written herein
and consummation of the applicable event, the number of shares of Common Stock
of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the
surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event, or (ii) cash equal to the value of
this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing
formula. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation
(if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual
observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this
Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and
liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors
of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which
this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section
12, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock
of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or
assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not
subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or
5
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of
this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time
during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
to the Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and
other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the
computation by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of
its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or
business of the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder, if
lawful and practicable to do so, (i) at least 10 days' prior written notice of
the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend,
distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days' prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which
any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any
such dividend, distribution or right,
6
and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the
time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other
property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 17(d).
16. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period
the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The
Company represents that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Principal Market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions
thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under
the laws of New York, without regard to its conflict of law, principles or
rules, and be subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.
7
(b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(c) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(d) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
(e) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence
of affirmative action by Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise
to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as
a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
(f) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled
to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant
and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(g) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws
and the provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns
of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the
benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be
enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(h) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(i) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions
of this Warrant.
8
(j) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a
part of this Warrant.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed
by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

(a) Filing and Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company

not later than 270 days after the Closing Date, a Registration Statement
relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities and shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such Registration
Statement effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable but in
no event later than one (1) year after the Closing Date. The Company shall
promptly (and, in any event, no more than 48 hours after it receives comments
from the Commission), notify the Initial Investor when and if it receives any
comments from the Commission on the Registration Statement and promptly forward
a copy of such comments, if they are in writing, to the Buyer or Initial
Investor as the case may be. At such time after the filing of the Registration
Statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) as the Commission indicates, either
orally or in writing, that it has no further comments with respect to such
Registration Statement or that it is willing to entertain appropriate requests
for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement, the Company
shall promptly, and in no event later than five (5) days after receipt of such
indication from the
3
Commission, request that the effectiveness of such Registration Statement be
accelerated within 48 hours of the Commission's receipt of such request. The
Company shall notify the Initial Investor by written notice that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission within 24
hours of such declaration by the Commission.
(b) Eligibility for Use of Form S-3. The Company agrees that at such
time as it meets all the requirements for the use of Securities Act Registration
Statement on Form S-3 it shall use its reasonable best efforts to file all
reports and information required to be filed by it with the Commission in a
timely manner and take all such other action so as to maintain such eligibility
for the use of such form.
3. Obligations of the Company
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall subject to the Investors assistance and cooperation, as reasonably
required:
(a) (i) Use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) to the
Registration Statement and supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary to
keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with
the provisions of the Securities Act applicable thereto so as to permit the
Prospectus forming part thereof to be current and useable by Investors for
resales of the Registrable Securities for a period of three (3) years from the
date on which the Registration Statement is first declared effective by the
Commission (the "Effective Time") or such shorter period that will terminate
upon the earlier of there ceasing to be any Registrable Securities outstanding
or when all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
have been sold pursuant thereto in accordance with the plan of distribution
provided in the Prospectus, transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or otherwise transferred in a manner that results in the delivery
of new securities not subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act
(the "Registration Period") and (ii) take all lawful action such that each of
(A) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it
becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, not misleading and (B) the Prospectus forming part of the
Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, does not at any
time during the Registration Period include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
(b) During the Registration Period, use its reasonable best efforts to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Registrable
Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement until such time
as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition by the Investors as set forth in the
Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement;
(c) (i) Prior to the filing with the Commission of any Registration
Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of
any Prospectus (including any supplements thereto), provide (A) draft copies
thereof to the Investors and give reasonable
4
consideration to all such comments as the Investors (and their counsel)
reasonably may propose and (B) to the Investors a copy of the accountant's
consent letter to be included in the filing and (ii) furnish to each Investor
whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement and its
legal counsel identified to the Company, (A) promptly after the same is prepared
and publicly distributed, filed with the Commission, or received by the Company,
one copy of the Registration Statement, each Prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and (B) such number of copies of the Prospectus and all
amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents, as such Investor
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor;
(d) (i) Use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Investors who hold a
majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities being offered reasonably
request, (ii) prepare and file in such jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof at all
times during the Registration Period, (iii) take all such other lawful actions
as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect
at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all such other lawful
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (A) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this Section 3(d), (B) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction;
(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify each Investor of the occurrence of any event, as a result of which the
Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and
promptly prepare an amendment to the Registration Statement and supplement to
the Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a
number of copies of such supplement and amendment to each Investor as such
Investor may reasonably request;
(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the
event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action
to effect the withdrawal, recession or removal of such stop order or other
suspension;
(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on the principal
national securities exchange, and included in an inter-dealer quotation system
of a registered national securities association, on or in which securities of
the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or included;
5
(h) Use its reasonable best efforts to maintain a transfer agent and
registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not
later than the effective date of the Registration Statement;
(i) Use its reasonable best efforts to take all such other lawful
actions reasonably necessary to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the
Investors of their Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
methods therefor provided in the Prospectus which are customary under the
circumstances;
(j) Make generally available to its security holders as soon as
practicable, but in any event not later than three (3) months after (i) the
effective date (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act) of the
Registration Statement, and (ii) the effective date of each post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement, as the case may be, an earnings
statement of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158); and
(k) (i) Make reasonably available for inspection by Investors, and any
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Investors all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause the
Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably
requested by such Investors or any such attorney, accountant or agent in
connection with the Registration Statement, in each case, as is customary for
similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that all records,
information and documents that are designated in writing by the Company, in good
faith, as confidential, proprietary or containing any material nonpublic
information shall be kept confidential by such Investors and any such attorney,
accountant or agent (pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality agreement in the
case of any such holder or agent), unless such disclosure is made pursuant to
judicial process in a court proceeding (after first giving the Company an
opportunity promptly to seek a protective order or otherwise limit the scope of
the information sought to be disclosed) or is required by law, or such records,
information or documents become available to the public generally or through a
third party not in violation of an accompanying obligation of confidentiality;
and provided, further, that, if the foregoing inspection and information
gathering would otherwise disrupt the Company's conduct of its business, such
inspection and information gathering shall, to the maximum extent possible, be
coordinated on behalf of the Investors and the other parties entitled thereto by
one firm of counsel designed by and on behalf of the majority in interest of
Investors and other parties.
4. Obligations of the Investors
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Investors shall have the following obligations:
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding
6
itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may
reasonably request. As least seven days prior to the first anticipated filing
date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of
the information the Company reasonably requires from each such Investor (the
"Requested Information") if such Investor elects to have any of its Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement. If at least two business days
prior to the anticipated filing date the Company has not received the Requested
Information from an Investor (a "Non-Responsive Investor"), then the Company may
file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such
Non-Responsive Investor and have no further obligations to the Non-Responsive
Investor;
(b) Each Investor by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities
agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has
notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its
Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement; and
(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or
3(f), it shall immediately discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) and, if so directed by the Company, such
Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy
(and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such
Investor's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.
5. Right to Suspend Registration Statement
The Company shall have the right for up to 120 days in any consecutive
360 period to suspend any Registration Statement in the event that the Company
determines, in good faith, that it is in the best interest of the Company for
the Company to proceed with its own offering of equity securities. The Company
may so proceed by delivering written notice of such intention to the Investors.
The Company may exercise the right to suspend a Registration Statement only
twice in any 360-day period.
6. Expenses of Registration
All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions or
similar fees, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including, without limitation, all
registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees,
accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but
not of the Investors) shall be borne by the Company.
7
7. Indemnification and Contribution
(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and
each of their respective officers and directors and each person who controls
such Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being sometimes hereinafter referred to
as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement or an omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Prospectus or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all
reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when such expenses
are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any
such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or an omission or alleged
omission from, such Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified
Person expressly for use therein or (ii) in the case of the occurrence of an
event of the type specified in Section 3(e), the use by the Indemnified Person
of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has provided to such
Indemnified Person an updated Prospectus correcting the untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission giving rise to such
loss, claim, damage or liability.
(b) Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, as a
consequence of the inclusion of any of its Registrable Securities in a
Registration Statement, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the
Registration Statement as a director nominee of the Company), its officers who
sign any Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, in the case of the Prospectus), not misleading, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of such holder or underwriter expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that absent fraud, no Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(b)
for any amount in excess of the net proceeds paid to such Investor in respect of
8
shares sold by it, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other
expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Notice of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a party seeking
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 (an "Indemnified Party") of written
notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of
which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this
Section 7 is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party,
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by
reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption
of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the
defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable
fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one such separate legal counsel for
all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or series of
substantially related actions if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall
have agreed in writing to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (y) the named
parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
have been advised by such counsel in writing that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to the Indemnifying party different from or in conflict with
any legal defenses which may be available to the Indemnified Party (in which
case the Indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such action on behalf of the Indemnified party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party
shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the
commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal
counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z)
above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne
exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the
Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnified
Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any
Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an
unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities with
respect to such Claim or judgment.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section
7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection
with the statements or omissions
9
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by
such Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if
the Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified
Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, in no event
shall any Investor be required to undertake liability to any person under this
Section 7 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be
received by such Investor from the sale of such Investor's Registrable
Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable
Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act.
(f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any
Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this
Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person
may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 7 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.
8. Rule 144
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule
144 under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the
Commission that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to
use its reasonable best efforts to:
(a) comply with the provisions of paragraph (c) (1) of Rule 144; and
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
under the Exchange Act; and, if at any time it is not required to file such
reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will,
upon the request of any Investor, make available other information as required
by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of, its Registrable Securities
pursuant to Rule 144.
10
9. Assignment
The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by the Investors to
any permitted transferee of all or a portion (which portion shall exceed 10% of
the Registrable Securities on an as-converted basis) of such Registrable
Securities (or all or a portion (which portion shall exceed 10% of the
Registrable Securities on an as-converted basis) of any Debentures or Warrant of
the Company which is convertible into such securities) only if: (a) the Investor
agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a
copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time
after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within ten (10) Business Days of such
transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name and
address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the securities with respect to
which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c)
immediately following such transfer or assignment, the securities so transferred
or assigned to the transferee or assignee constitute Restricted Securities, and
(d) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated
by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with
the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
10. Amendment and Waiver
Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance
thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company
and Investors who hold a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding
upon each Investor and the Company.
11. Changes in Common Stock
If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock by way
of stock split, stock dividend, reverse split, combination or reclassification,
or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any
other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof, as
may be required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue
with respect to the Common Stock as so changed.
12. Miscellaneous
(a) A person or entity shall be deemed to be a holder of Registrable
Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same
Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions,
notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable
Securities.
(b) If, after the date hereof and prior to the Commission declaring
the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) effective under
the Securities Act, the Company grants to any Person any registration rights
with respect to any Company securities which are more favorable to such other
Person than those provided in this Agreement, then the Company
11
forthwith shall grant (by means of an amendment to this Agreement or otherwise)
identical registration rights to all Investors hereunder.
(c) Except as may be otherwise provided herein, any notice or other
communication or delivery required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing

About eMagin
A leading developer of virtual imaging technology, eMagin combines integrated
circuits, microdisplays, and optics to create a virtual image similar to the
real image of a computer monitor or large screen TV. These miniature,
high-performance modules provide access to information-rich text, data, and
video which can facilitate the opening of new mass markets for wearable personal
computers, wireless Internet appliances, portable DVD-viewers, digital cameras,
and other emerging applications. eMagin's intellectual property portfolio of
more than 100 patents issued or filed is leveraged by key OLED technology
licensed from Eastman Kodak and joint development programs with IBM and Covion,
among others. OLEDs are emissive devices (i.e., they create light), as opposed
to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that require a separate light source. OLED
devices use less power and are capable of high brightness and color. Because the
light they emit appears equally bright from all directions, they are ideal for
near to the eye applications since a small movement in the eye does not change
the image. According to Stanford Resources, a leading market research firm
focusing on the global electronic display industry, the worldwide market for
OLED displays will grow to $1.6 billion in 2007, or 63% a year over that period.
eMagin's corporate headquarters and microdisplay operations are co-located with
IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, N.Y. Wearable and mobile computer
headset/viewer system design and full-custom microdisplay system facilities are
located at its wholly owned subsidiary, Virtual Vision, Inc., in Redmond, WA.
The company has marketing offices in Santa Clara, CA. Further information about
eMagin and its virtual imaging solutions can be accessed at www.emagin.com.
