EMAGIN CORPORATION
NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
August 20, 2001, by and among eMagin Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and The Travelers Insurance Company, a Connecticut corporation
("Travelers" or the "Investor").
The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Note; Issuance of Warrants.
(a) The Company has duly authorized for sale, issue and delivery to the
Investor a note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $1,000,000, due nine
months after its date of issuance and substantially in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A.
(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Travelers agrees to purchase,
and the Company agrees to issue to Travelers, the Note for a purchase price of
$1,000,000.
(c) The purchase and sale of the Note shall take place concurrently with
the execution of this Agreement (the "Closing"). At the Closing, the Company
shall deliver to the Investor (i) an executed counterpart to this Agreement and
(ii) the Note, in all cases against delivery to the Company by the Investor of
(i) an executed counterpart to this Agreement and (ii) the purchase price of the
Note, by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated in writing by the Company.
(d) If the Note is not repaid or converted in accordance with its terms by
5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date which is one week after the date of this
Agreement (the "First Warrant Date"), then the Company will promptly issue to
Travelers a three-year warrant (the "First Warrant") to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), for an
aggregate exercise price of $50,000, at a price per share equal to 106% of the
volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange
(or the over-the-counter market) for the 20 trading days immediately preceding
the First Warrant Date. At the end of each week after the First Warrant Date, if
the Note has not then been repaid or converted in accordance with its terms, the
Company will issue an additional three-year warrant (together with the First
Warrant, the "Warrants"), having substantially identical terms, as the First
Warrant, except that the expiration date and the exercise price per share shall
be determined as of the date of issuance of such Warrant; provided, however,
that at no time shall the Company be obligated to issue additional Warrants if
such issuance would result in the Investor's being able to acquire more than
19.9% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants in
contravention of the rules of the American Stock Exchange or any other
self-regulatory organization constituting the
principal trading market for the Common Stock. The terms of the Warrants
(including a provision permitting "cashless" exercise) shall be reasonably
acceptable to Travelers.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby
represents and warrants to theCompany as follows:
(a) The Investor is acquiring the Note and will acquire the Warrants
(together with the Note, the "Securities") for the Investor's own account, not
as nominee or agent, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). By executing
this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not have
any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participation to any such person or to any third person, with
respect to the Securities.
(b) The Investor understands that (i) the Securities have not been
registered under either the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state
of the United States by reason of specific exemptions therefrom, (ii) the
Securities must be held by the Investor indefinitely, and, therefore, the
Investor must bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a
subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act and the
securities laws of any applicable state or is exempt from such registrations;
(iii) each certificate that represents the Securities will be endorsed with
legends as required by applicable securities laws; and (iv) the Company will
instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of any of the
Securities unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are
satisfied.
(c) The Investor has been furnished with such materials and has been given
access to such information relating to the Company as the Investor has
requested. The Investor has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions
regarding the Company and the Securities as the Investor has found necessary to
make an informed investment decision. The Investor has been solely responsible
for its own due diligence investigation of the Company and its business, for its
own analysis of the merits and risks of its investment made pursuant to this
Agreement and for its own analysis of the terms of its investment.
(d) The Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501
under the Securities Act. The Investor is in a financial position to hold the
Securities and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete loss
of the Investor's investment in the Securities. The Investor recognizes that the
Securities involve a high degree of risk. The Investor is a sophisticated
investor, is able to fend for itself in the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment in the Securities.
(e) (i) The Investor has the requisite corporate power and corporate
authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii)
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor and the
consummation by it of the transactions
2
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
and no further consent or authorization of the Investor or its Board of
Directors or stockholders is required, and (iii) this Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Investor and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms, except, in each case, as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
(f) Neither the Investor nor any person acting on its behalf (i) has the
intention of entering, or will enter into, any put option, short position or
other similar instrument or position with respect to the Common Stock that may
be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants or (ii) will use shares of Common
Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants 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.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents
and warrants to the Investor as follows:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation
duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing
as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the
business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary,
other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have any adverse
effect on the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of the
Company that is material and adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit
or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any
of its material obligations under this Agreement or the Securities (a "Material
Adverse Effect").
(b) Authorization, Enforcement. (i) The Company has the requisite corporate
power and corporate authority to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and the Securities, pursuant to their respective terms, (ii) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Securities by the Company and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required, and (iii) each of this Agreement and the Note has been (and the
Warrants, when and if issued, will have been) duly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitutes or will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except,
in each case, as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship,
3
receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 25,085,145 shares are issued and
outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share,
of which no shares are issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of
the Company's Common Stock have been duly and validly authorized and are fully
paid and non-assessable, except as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined
below). Except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in the SEC
Documents, no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights or
registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrant, scrip, rights
to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to,
or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the
Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in
the SEC Documents, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or
arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company is not a
party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or
transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. Except as set forth
in the SEC Documents, the offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible
securities, rights, warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the
Closing complied with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and no
stockholder has a right of rescission or damages with respect thereto which
would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has filed as exhibits to the
SEC Documents true and correct copies of the Company's articles or certificate
of incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the "Charter"), and the
Company's bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the "Bylaws"). The Company has
not received any notice from the AMEX questioning or threatening the continued
inclusion of the Common Stock on such market.
(d) Issuance of Securities. The Note and Warrants (and the shares of Common
Stock underlying such Warrants) to be issued under this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for and issued in
accordance with the terms of the Warrants, the Common Stock issued on exercise
of the Warrants shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated herein do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the
Company's Charter or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond,
license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a
party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of
the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a
party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective
properties or
4
assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, or local
statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including any federal or
state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries are bound or affected. To the knowledge of the Company, the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation
of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for
possible violations which singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under any federal,
state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or
order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental
agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement, or issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the
terms hereof (other than any filings which may be required to be made by the
Company with the SEC or state securities administrators subsequent to the
Closing and any registration statement which may be filed pursuant hereto);
provided that, for purpose of the representation made in this sentence, the
Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant
representations and agreements of the Investor herein.
(f) SEC Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock is registered
pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and, except as disclosed in the SEC
Documents, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms,
statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing
including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as
the "SEC Documents"). The Company has delivered or made available to the
Investor true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. As of their respective
filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable, and the
rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such
documents, and, as of their respective filing dates, none of the SEC Documents
contained 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
misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements under the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
as those conventions, rules and procedures are determined by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("GAAP"), and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case
of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or
may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the results of operations and
5
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(g) Subsidiaries. The SEC Documents set forth each subsidiary of the
Company, showing the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and
showing the percentage of the Company's ownership of the outstanding stock or
other interests of such subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other entity of which at least a
majority of the securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting
power (absolutely or contingently) for the election of directors or other
persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or
indirectly by the Company and/or any of its other subsidiaries. All of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary have been duly
authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. There are
no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or
agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase
or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other
securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to
subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor any
subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase
or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary
or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described
in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is a party to,
nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of
any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary.
(h) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the financial statements
contained in the most recently filed Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, whichever is most
current, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred or exists with respect to the
Company, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents.
(i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any liabilities,
obligations, claims or losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or
unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) that would be required to
be disclosed on a balance sheet of the Company or any subsidiary (including the
notes thereto) in conformity with GAAP which are not disclosed in the SEC
Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's or
its subsidiaries' respective businesses since such date and which, individually
or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company or its subsidiaries.
(j) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since the date of the financial
statement contained in the most recently filed Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, whichever
is most current, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to
the Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition,
that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed in the SEC Documents.
6
(k) Indebtedness. The SEC Documents reflect all outstanding secured and
unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the
Company or any subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Indebtedness" shall mean (A) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed
in excess of $250,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the
ordinary course of business), (B) all guaranties, endorsements and contingent
obligations in respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or
should be reflected in the Company's balance sheet (or the notes thereto),
except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or
collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (C)
the present value of any lease payments in excess of $250,000 due under leases
required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any
subsidiary is in material default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(l) Title to Assets. Each of the Company and the subsidiaries has good and
marketable title to all of its real and personal property reflected in the SEC
Documents, free of any mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests or
other encumbrances, except for those indicated in the SEC Documents or such that
do not cause a Material Adverse Effect. All said leases of the Company and each
of its subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the
Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto or thereto. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no
material action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or involving the Company, any
subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets. There are no
outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court,
arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any
subsidiary.
(n) Taxes. The Company and each subsidiary has filed all material tax
returns which it is required to file under applicable laws; all such tax returns
are true and accurate in all material respects and have been prepared in
compliance with all applicable laws; the Company has paid all material taxes due
and owing by it or any subsidiary (whether or not such taxes are required to be
shown on a tax return) and has withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing
authorities all material Taxes which it is required to withhold from amounts
paid or owing to any employee, stockholder, creditor or other third parties; and
since December 31, 1999, the charges, accruals and reserves for material taxes
with respect to the Company (including any provisions for deferred income taxes)
reflected on the books of the Company are adequate to cover any tax liabilities
of the Company if its current tax year were treated as ending on the date
hereof. No claim has been made by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where the
Company does not file tax returns that the Company or any subsidiary is or may
be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. To the knowledge of the Company,
there are no foreign, federal, state or local tax audits or administrative or
judicial proceedings pending or being conducted with respect to the
7
Company or any subsidiary; no information related to tax matters has been
requested by any foreign, federal, state or local taxing authority; and, except
as disclosed above, no written notice indicating an intent to open an audit or
other review has been received by the Company or any subsidiary from any
foreign, federal, state or local taxing authority.
(o) Certain Fees. No brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or
commissions will be payable by the Company or any subsidiary with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(p) Disclosure. Neither this Agreement or the schedules hereto nor any
other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Investor by or on
behalf of the Company or any subsidiary by an authorized officer of the Company
or such subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein,
not misleading.
(q) Material Agreements. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, neither
the Company nor any subsidiary is a party to any written or oral contract,
instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement, a copy of
which would be required to be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a registration
statement on Form S-1 or other applicable form (collectively, "Material
Agreements") if the Company or any subsidiary were registering securities under
the Securities Act. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has in all material
respects performed all the obligations required to be performed by them to date
under the foregoing agreements, have received no notice of default and, to the
best of the Company's knowledge are not in default under any Material Agreement
now in effect, the result of which could cause a Material Adverse Effect.
4. Miscellaneous.
(a) Fees and Expenses. Each party shall pay all of its own fees and
expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
made herein shall survive the Closing and any investigation made by Travelers in
connection with this Agreement.
(c) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the
Securities delivered pursuant hereto, contains the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically
set forth herein, neither the Company nor the Investor make any representations,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of
this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument
signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is
sought.
8

time to time change its address for notices by giving written notice of such
changed address to the other parties hereto in accordance herewith.
(e) Waivers. No waiver by either party of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provisions, condition
or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise
any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing
to it thereafter.
(f) Headings. The article, section and subsection headings in this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be
enforced by, any other person. The Investor may assign any of its rights under
this Agreement to any assignee of the Securities. The Company may not assign any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the Investor's written
consent.
(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to the choice of law provisions. Each of the Company and the Investor
waives any right to a jury trial with respect to any dispute arising out of this

party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart. Execution may be made by delivery by
facsimile.
(j) Publicity. The Company and the Investor may agree upon a press release
to be issued by the Company immediately upon execution of this Agreement
describing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Thereafter,
either party may make a public statement or announcement with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the existence of this
Agreement; provided, however, that prior to
9
issuing any such press release, making any such public statement or
announcement, such party must obtain the prior consent of the other party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(k) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in
the event that any court shall determine that any one or more of the provisions
or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a
provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed
as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such
provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be
valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible, so long as such
construction does not materially adversely effect the economic rights of either
party hereto.
(l) Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the
request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor
shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and other writings as may
be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate
