Item 9. Undertakings.
A.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.






(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

B.    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C.    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for the undersigned Registrant’s directors, officers and controlling persons of us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.






SIGNATURES

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed on this date by Vicon Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), to which this opinion letter is attached as an exhibit, for the registration of 607,016 common shares of the Company, $0.01 par value (“Common Shares”), which have been reserved for issuance under the IQinVision, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan and the IQinVision, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Stock Incentive Plans”) assumed by the Company on August 29, 2014 pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization entered into as of March 28, 2014 by and among the Company, IQinVision, Inc., a California corporation, and VI Merger Sub, Inc., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

We have examined the original or a photostatic or certified copy of such documents, records, and other information as we deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinion set forth below. In such examination, we have assumed the authenticity of each document submitted to us as an original, the conformity to the original document of each document submitted to us as a certified copy of photostatic copy, and the authenticity of the original of each such latter document. In addition, we have assumed, in rendering the opinion set forth below, that any stock certificate evidencing any of the Common Shares registered by this Registration Statement, when issued under the Stock Incentive Plans, will have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and will have been countersigned by the Company’s transfer agent and registered by the Company’s registrar prior to its issuance.

On the basis of our examination mentioned above, subject to the assumptions stated and relying on statements of fact contained in the documents that have examined, we are of the opinion that the Common Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and that upon the issuance of such Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plans, the Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This opinion is rendered only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions covered hereby. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or furnished to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person for any purpose without our prior written consent. The opinions set forth above are rendered as of the date of this letter. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of these opinions to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur subsequent to the date hereof.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Fox Rothschild LLP

(a)Vesting of all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall accelerate automatically effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless the Options and Stock Appreciation Rights are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) or new options or new stock appreciation rights under a new stock incentive program (“New Incentives”) of comparable value are to be issued in exchange therefor, as provided in subsection (b) below.
(b)Vesting of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall not accelerate if and to the extent that: (i) the Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (including the unvested portions thereof) are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, or (ii) the Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (including the unvested portions thereof) are to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) with New Incentives of comparable value containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable. If outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights are assumed, or if New Incentives of comparable value are issued in exchange therefor, then each such Option, stock Appreciation Right or New Incentive shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that the Participant, as the case may be, would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right had the Option or Stock Appreciation Right been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and appropriate adjustment also shall be made to the Exercise Price such that the aggregate Exercise Price of each such Option or new option and the aggregate Base Value of each such Stock Appreciation Right or new stock appreciation right shall remain the same as nearly as practicable.
(c)If any Option or Stock Appreciation Right is assumed by an acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) or a New Incentive of comparable value is issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of a Change in Control transaction, then if so provided in the Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement, the vesting of the Option, Stock Appreciation Right or the New Incentive shall accelerate if and at such time as the Participant’s service as an employee, director, officer, Consultant or other Service Provider to the acquiring or successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily under certain circumstances within a specified period following consummation of the Change in Control, pursuant to such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement.
(d)If vesting of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will accelerate pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each such Option or Stock Appreciation Right for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or “spread”) between: (i) the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right had such Option or Stock Appreciation Right been





exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (ii) the Exercise Price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right.
(e)Notwithstanding Sections 9.1(a)-(d) above, the Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement other terms and conditions that relate to (i) vesting of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the event of a Change in Control, and (ii) assumption of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or issuance of comparable securities or New Incentives in the event of a Change in Control. The aforementioned terms and conditions may vary in each Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement, and may be different from and have precedence over the provisions set forth in Sections 9.1(a) -9.1(d) above.
(f)Outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon consummation of a Change in Control except to the extent that the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, as applicable, are assumed by the successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.
(g)If outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will not be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall cause written notice of a proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to Participants not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.
(h)All Repurchase Rights of the Company under this Plan shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, and the shares of Common Stock subject to such terminated Repurchase Rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent that: (i) in connection with such Change in Control, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) provides for the continuance or assumption of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements (or such other agreements evidencing the Company’s Repurchase Right, as applicable) or the substitution of new agreements of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and purchase price, or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Administrator in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (or such other agreement evidencing the Company’s Repurchase Right, as applicable) at the time the shares are issued. If the Repurchase Rights shall terminate pursuant to this subsection (a), then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to the effected Participants not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.
(i)The Administrator in its discretion may provide in any Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (or such other agreement evidencing the Company’s Repurchase Right, as applicable) that if, upon a Change in Control, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or subsidiary thereof) provides for the continuance or assumption of such Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (or such other agreement evidencing the Company’s Repurchase Right, as applicable) or the substitution of new agreements of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation (with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and purchase price), then any Repurchase Right provided for in such Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (or such other agreement evidencing the Company’s Repurchase Right, as applicable) shall terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the terminated Repurchase Right or any substituted shares shall immediately vest in full, if the Participant’s service as an employee, director, officer, Consultant or other Service Provider to the acquiring or successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily under certain circumstances within a specified period following consummation of a Change in Control pursuant to such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (or such other agreement evidencing the Company’s Repurchase Right, as applicable).

ARTICLE 5.OPTIONS
1.Option Agreement. Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement which shall specify the number of shares subject thereto, the Exercise Price per share, and whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option. As soon as is practical following the grant of an Option, an Option Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Optionee to whom such Option was granted. Each Option Agreement shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable, including, without limitation, the imposition of any rights of first refusal and resale obligations upon any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option Agreement. Each Option Agreement may be different from each other Option Agreement.
2.Exercise Price.

However, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in this Section 5.2 if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424 of the Code.
3.Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon exercise of an Option and may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, subject to any legal restrictions, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee that have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months, which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) the Optionee’s promissory note in a form and on terms acceptable to the Administrator, provided that an amount equal to at least the aggregate par value of the shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be paid in such other form of consideration as permitted under the California Corporations Code; (e) the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (f) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (g) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; (h) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “margin” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (i) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable corporate law.





4.Term and Termination of Options. The term and provisions for termination of each Option shall be as fixed by the Administrator, but no Option may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted. An Incentive Option granted to a person who is a 10% Shareholder on the date of grant shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date it is granted.
5.Vesting and Exercise of Options. Each Option shall vest and become exercisable in one or more installments at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives, as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the right to exercise any Option must vest at a rate of at least 20% of the shares represented thereby per year over five (5) years from the date the Option is granted.
6.Annual Limit on Incentive Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common Stock shall not, with respect to which Incentive Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or any Affiliated Company become exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year, exceed $100,000.
7.Nontransferability of Options. No Option shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the life of the Optionee shall be exercisable only by such Optionee; provided, however, that, in the discretion of the Administrator, any Option may be assigned or transferred in any manner which an “incentive stock option” is permitted to be assigned or transferred under the Code.
8.Rights as Shareholder. An Optionee or permitted transferee of an Option shall have no rights or privileges as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until such Option has been duly exercised and certificates representing shares purchased upon such exercise have been issued to such person.

ARTICLE 6.RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
1.Nature of Right to Purchase. A Right to Purchase granted to an Offeree entitles the Offeree to purchase, for a Purchase Price determined by the Administrator, shares of Common Stock subject to such terms, restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Stock”). Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, continued employment or the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives. The Purchase Price per share of Common Stock covered by each Right to Purchase shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (a) the Purchase Price of a Share shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Right to Purchase is granted or at the time the purchase is consummated, or (b) if the person to whom a Right to Purchase is granted is a 10% Shareholder on the date of grant, the Purchase Price shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Right to Purchase is granted or at the time the purchase is consummated.

Each Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in such form, and shall set forth the Purchase Price and such other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Restricted Stock, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable. Each Stock Purchase Agreement may be different from each other Stock Purchase Agreement.
3.Payment of Purchase Price. Subject to any legal restrictions, payment of the Purchase Price upon acceptance of a Right to Purchase Restricted Stock may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Offeree that have been held by the Offeree for at least six (6) months, which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) the Offeree’s promissory note in a form and on terms acceptable to the Administrator; (e) the cancellation of





indebtedness of the Company to the Offeree; (f) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Offeree for services rendered; or (g) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable corporate law.

Upon complying with the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, an Offeree shall have the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock purchased pursuant to the Right to Purchase, including voting and dividend rights, subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions as are set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Unless the Administrator shall determine otherwise, certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such shares have vested in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
5.Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. In the event of termination of a Participant’s employment, service as a director of the Company or Service Provider status for any reason whatsoever (including death or disability), the Stock Purchase Agreement may provide, in the discretion of the Administrator, that the Company shall have the right, exercisable at the discretion of the Administrator, to repurchase (i) at the original Purchase Price, any shares of Restricted Stock which have not vested as of the date of termination (provided that the right to repurchase at the original Purchase Price shall lapse at the rate of at least 20% per year over five (5) years from the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement), and (ii) at Fair Market Value, any shares of Restricted Stock which have vested as of such date, on such terms as may be provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
In any event, the right to repurchase must be exercised within sixty (60) days of the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service and may be paid by the Company or its assignee, by cash, check, or cancellation of indebtedness within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the right to exercise.
6.Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Stock Purchase Agreement shall specify the date or dates, the performance goals or objectives which must be achieved, and any other conditions on which the Restricted Stock may vest.
7.Dividends. If payment for shares of Restricted Stock is made by promissory note, any cash dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Stock may be applied, in the discretion of the Administrator, to repayment of such note.
8.Nonassignability of Rights. No Right to Purchase shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided by the Administrator.
9.Compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6 to the contrary, all Rights to Purchase must be structured to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A, or an applicable exemption, as determined by the Administrator.


ARTICLE 7.ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
1.Administrator. Authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Board, which may delegate such responsibilities in whole or in part to a committee consisting of two (2) or more members of the Board (the “Committee”).

In order to preserve a Participant’s rights in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, (i) the time period relating to the exercise or realization of all outstanding Options, Rights to Purchase and Restricted Stock shall automatically accelerate immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control as if the Participant had held the Options, Rights to Purchase or Restricted Stock for a period of two years longer than actually held (“Automatic Acceleration”), if the Administrator does not take the action described in subitem (C) of this Section 8.1, and if such action is taken, such Automatic Acceleration shall then occur if within twelve (12) months of the consummation of a Change in Control a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause or pursuant to the Participant’s voluntary termination for Good Reason, and (ii) with respect to Options and Rights to Purchase, the Administrator in its discretion may, at any time an Option or Right to Purchase is granted, or at any time thereafter, take one or more of the following actions: (A) provide for the purchase or exchange of each Option or Right to Purchase for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference, or spread, between (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to such Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or Right to Purchase had the Option or Right to Purchase been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control transaction and (y) the Exercise Price of such Option or the Purchase Price under such Right to Purchase, (B) adjust the terms of the Options and Rights to Purchase in a manner determined by the Administrator to reflect the Change in Control, (C) cause the Options and Rights to Purchase to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity, through the continuance of the Plan and the assumption of outstanding Options and Rights to Purchase, or the substitution for such Options and Rights to Purchase of new options and new rights to purchase of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and Exercise Prices, in which event the Plan and such Options and Rights to Purchase, or the new options and rights to purchase substituted therefor, shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided, or (D) make such other provision as the Administrator may consider equitable. If the Administrator does not take any of the forgoing actions, all Options and Rights to Purchase shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control and the Administrator shall cause written notice of the proposed transaction to be given to all Participants not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.


ARTICLE 9.AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

1.Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements with respect to any Options exercised or Restricted Stock issued under the Plan. To the extent permissible under applicable tax, securities and other laws, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, permit a Participant to satisfy his or her obligation to pay any such tax, in whole or in part, up to an amount determined on the basis of the highest marginal tax rate applicable to such Participant, by (a) directing the Company to apply shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Option or as a result of the purchase of or lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or (b) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant. The shares of Common Stock so applied or delivered in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax withholding obligation shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to withholding.
