EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2008, is made by and between eMagin Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and each of the holders named on Schedule A hereto (each, including its successors and assigns, a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”).

WHEREAS, the Holders hold certain of the Company’s 8% Senior Convertible Notes due December 22, 2008 set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Notes”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holders wish to provide for the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Holders shall receive, in exchange for their Notes and unpaid interest thereon shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Series B Preferred”), having the rights and preferences set forth on the Certificate of Designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Certificate of Designations”); and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms not used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Certificate of Designations.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties agree as follows:

1. Exchange.  The Company and the Holders hereby agree that the Notes and unpaid interest thereon shall be exchanged for an amount of Series B Preferred equal to the amount of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest due on the Notes being exchanged, as indicated on Schedule A, divided by $1,000 (i.e., the Stated Value).

2. Registration Rights.  The Series B Preferred and shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred (collectively the “Securities”) shall be registered pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).  The Holders and the Company agree that each Holder shall be deemed a party to the Registration Rights Agreement and treated as a “Purchaser” and “Holder” in the Registration Rights Agreement in all respects, as applicable.  The Company agrees to be bound in all respects to each Holder as if each Holders is a “Purchaser” and “Holder” in the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of liquidated damages to be paid to the “Purchasers” pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of Notes and unpaid interest thereon converted into Series B Preferred pursuant to this Agreement for any Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) then held by such Holder; provided, however, the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be 36% of the aggregate amount of Notes and unpaid interest thereon converted into Series B Preferred pursuant to this Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, upon the Majority Holder’s prior written consent, in lieu of paying partial liquidated damages to each Holder in cash, the Company may issue to each Holder the amount of shares of restrictive Common Stock with piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement equal to the amount of partial liquidated damages due to each Holder divided by the Current Fair Market Value.  Reference in the Registration Rights Agreement to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall apply to the Holders, as applicable.

3. Securities Purchase Agreement.  The defined term “Majority Holders” used in the Securities Purchase Agreement shall apply to the Holders of outstanding Series B Preferred, as applicable, and any rights or provisions granted to the “Majority Holders” in the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be granted to each Holder as if each Holder was a “Purchaser” in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

4. Closing.  On or before December 22, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), the Holders shall deliver, or have delivered, to the Company the duly executed Agreement.  On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver, or have delivered, to the Holders (i) the duly executed Agreement, (ii) the duly executed Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) the duly executed Securities Purchase Agreement, (iv) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of the filling of the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (v) a copy of the signed stock certificate for the number of Series B Preferred as specified next to each Holder’s name on Schedule A hereto under the heading “Number of shares of Series B Preferred upon conversion”, registered in the name of such Holder; provided that the Company will deliver the original certificate representing the Series B Preferred to such Holder pursuant to Section 5.

5. Notes.  The Company and the Holders agree that as of the Closing Date, the Notes converted into Series B Preferred pursuant to this Agreement shall be cancelled and have no value.  Each Holder agrees to send to the Company as promptly as possible following the Closing Date its original Note or a certificate of destruction reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not send the original certificate representing the Series B Preferred to such Holder until the Company receives the original Note or certificate of destruction reasonably acceptable to the Company from such Holder; provided that the Company will deliver by overnight mail within two Business Days of receiving the original Note or certificate of destruction reasonably acceptable to the Company the original certificate representing the Series B Preferred to such Holder.
