Part I

ITEM 1.  Description of Business

Overview

 

 

 

Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation (or the “Company”), was incorporated in 1978. We develop, manufacture and market flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. We primarily inspect microdisplays and small flat panel displays, though the technology used is scalable to allow inspection of full screen displays and components. Our products primarily use machine vision to evaluate operating displays for cosmetic and functional defects, but can also provide electrical testing if required for a given application. Our customers and potential customers are primarily large companies with significant investment in the manufacture of displays. Nearly all of our sales originate in the United States, Asia, or Europe. Our products are generally sold as capital goods. Depending on the application, display inspection systems have an indefinite life and are more likely to require replacement due to possible technological obsolescence than from physical wear.

 

 

 

Automated inspection has become a necessity for manufacturers who need to continually improve production efficiency to meet the increasing demand for high quality products. Our automatic inspection systems can inspect parts at a lower cycle time and with greater repeatability than is possible with human inspectors. While we have several large companies as customers, these customers are working with new microdisplay technologies. Our success will be substantially dependant on these customers getting their emerging display technologies into high volume production.

 

 

Products

 

 

 

SharpEyeOur SharpEye product provides Flat Panel Display (FPD) inspection for reflective, emissive and transmissive display technologies. SharpEye is designed for the detection of functional and cosmetic defects in LCOS, OLED, MEMS, 3LCD/HTPS, LCD and other emerging display technologies. These technologies are applied to consumer products such as camcorders, rear projection computer monitors, digital still cameras, HDTV, projectors, video headsets and video telephones. The core technology of SharpEye inspection algorithms is the ability to quantize data to the level of a single display pixel. SharpEye can be configured for production inspection or for display evaluation in a laboratory based on the equipment configuration selected.

 

 

 

LumenEyeOur LumenEye product provides an “out of the box” solution designed for a low skill level user to setup and acguire images from an FPD panel. It is targeted at manufacturers of FPD products who need to inspect for inherent Image Retention (Image Sticking) defects in their displays prior to shipment. The software provided with LumenEye will perform an evaluation of the panel based on the acquired images to VESA 305-2 specification. Integral Vision can also provide the customer unique Image Retention analysis as part of its software offering. Custom panel evaluation software is also available to meet the FPD manufacturer customer test pattern requirements.

 

 

 

IVSee – Our IVSee provides FPD inspection for applications which still require manual handling. IVSee is designed for the detection of functional and cosmetic defects in LCOS, OLED, MEMS, 3LCD/HTPS, LCD and other emerging display technologies. IVSee is configured to be integrated

3


 

 

 

into existing manual inspection stations allowing them to receive the benefits of computer aided optical inspection without the need to modify the manufacturing process to automate handling of the display. The operator’s interface provides essential views of results, images, and statistics for production floor personnel.

 

 

Marketing and Sales

 

 

 

We generally market our vision products to end users, but we have had success integrating our products with OEM’s in certain circumstances. Although sales are made worldwide, our strongest presence is maintained in the US (through Company employees), and in Asia and Europe (through sales representatives).

 

 

Competition

 

 

 

Presently, most final inspection of small flat panel displays is manual. Higher resolution, increased brightness, and increased contrast in newer versions of the displays are stretching human capabilities to do the inspections. Automated inspection offers a good return on investment as it uses less clean room space, requires fewer fixtures and hardware because of a faster cycle time, and reduces the labor required for inspection. Competition for machine vision based microdisplay and small flat panel display inspection comes primarily from Westar Display Technologies, Inc.

 

 

Production and Suppliers

 

 

 

Our production process is principally the assembling of standard electrical, electronic and optical components and hardware subassemblies purchased from suppliers into finished products. We generally do not rely on a single source for parts or subassemblies, although certain components and subassemblies included in our products may only be available from a limited number of suppliers. Management believes alternative sources or designs could be developed for any of the components used in its products thereby mitigating any exposure to product interruption from shortages of parts or limited suppliers.

 

 

Major Customers

 

 

 

The nature of our product offerings may produce sales to one or a limited number of customers in excess of 10% of total net sales in any one year. It is possible that the specific customers reaching this threshold may change from year to year. Loss of any one of these customers could have a material impact on our results of operations. For 2007, sales to Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Samsung, Liquavista B.V., and Texas Instruments represented 31%, 24%,14% and 10% of net sales, respectively. Approximately $50,000 was due from two of these customers at December 31, 2007. For 2006, sales to Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Texas Instruments, Energy Conversion Devices, and DuPont represented 31%, 21%, 21% and 14% of net sales, respectively. There were no amounts due from these customers at December 31, 2006

 

 

Intellectual Property

 

 

 

Management believes that the technology incorporated in its products gives it advantages over its competitors and prospective competitors. Protection of technology is attempted through a combination of patents, applied for patents, confidentiality agreements and trade secrets. We presently have 14 U.S. patents. There can be no assurance that we will have the resources to defend our patents or that patents we hold will be considered valid if challenged. In addition, it is possible that some patents will be rendered worthless as the result of technological obsolescence.

 

 

Governmental Approvals and Regulations

 

 

 

We are not subject to government approvals for any of our primary products or services. Certain applications using laser technology require compliance with CDRH Section 21 CFR 1040.

 

 

Product Development

 

 

 

The market for Machine Vision is characterized by rapid and continuous technological development and product innovation. We believe that continued and timely development of new products and enhancements to existing products is necessary to maintain our competitive position. Accordingly, we devote a significant portion of our personnel and financial resources to product development programs and seek to maintain close relationships with customers to remain responsive to their needs. During the period ended March 31, 2006 we began activity associated

4


 

 

 

with a product development agreement with Energy Conversion Devices (ECD) where we are compensated for a portion of our costs for the development of online inspection for a continuous web of display material. This best efforts subcontract with ECD proceeds from a contract from the United States Display Consortium. Our net engineering and product development costs amounted to $1.1 million and $1.2 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our current product development efforts are primarily directed to Flat Panel Display and Component Inspection products.

 

 

Environmental Factors

 

 

 

Our cost of complying with federal, state and local provisions regulating protection of the environment are not material.

 

 

Employees

 

 

 

As of February 29, 2008, we had 14 permanent employees, all full time, compared to 18 at February 28, 2007 and 21 at February 28, 2006. None of our employees are represented by a labor union.

 

ITEM 2.  Description of Properties

 

 

 

We lease a light industrial building containing approximately 14,000 square feet at 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan. The lease is for a five year period, which commenced January 1, 2006. Our manufacturing, engineering and administrative functions are performed at this location. The building is approxmately 10 years old and is in excellent condition.

ITEM 3.  Legal Proceedings

 

 

 

We are not currently involved in any litigation other than routine litigation that is incidental to our business.

We have one terminated equity compensation plan which still has active options outstanding (the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan) and two active equity compensation plans (the 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan), all of which have been approved by our shareholders. Each of the plans may grant nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Each of the plans terminates after 10 years, though termination of the plan does not affect the rights of beneficiaries under options granted prior to the termination of the plan. Options are to be granted at a price equal to or greater than the closing price of the common stock on the day the option is granted and may be exercisable for up to 10 years from the date of grant so long as the beneficiary is employed by the Company, but terminate 3 months after the beneficiary is no longer employed by the Company unless due to permanent and total disability in which case the options terminate 12 months after employment ceases. For further information on equity compensation see Note I – Share Based Compensation in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

ITEM 6.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

 

 

 

Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation, develops, manufactures, and markets flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of flat panel display inspection equipment. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this document are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of

6


 

 

 

1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the ability of the company to obtain volume orders from its larger customers; general economic conditions and conditions in the specific industries in which we have significant customers; price fluctuations in the materials we purchase for assembly into final products; competitive conditions in our markets and the effect of competitive products and pricing; and technological development by us, our customers and our competition. As a result, our results may fluctuate. Additional information concerning risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements represent our best estimates as of the date of this document. We assume no obligation to update such estimates except as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

Results of Operations - Year Ended December 31, 2007, compared to the year ended December 31, 2006

 

 

 

Net revenues for 2007 increased $316,000 (37.8%) to $1,151,000 from $835,000 in 2006. Revenue is reported net of sales commission expense which was approximately $67,000 in 2007 compared to approximately $24,000 in 2006. Revenue for 2007 includes $92,000 from Product Development Agreements compared to $172,000 in 2006. Sales from the flat panel display inspection product line were $1,048,000 in 2007, an increase of $399,000 (61.5%) from $649,000 in 2006.

 

 

 

Direct costs of sales for 2007 increased $154,000 (20.8%) to $895,000 (approximately 77.7% of sales) from $741,000 (approximately 88.7% of sales) in 2006. This was primarily due to an increase of $256,000 in costs related to flat panel display inspection equipment, partially offset by lower costs of $102,000 for product development agreements. Costs of sales for product development agreements are recorded in amounts equal to the revenue recognized and therefore do not contribute significantly to gross margin. See Note B to the Financial Statements Revenue Recognition and Note B to the Financial Statements Allocations of General and Adminstrative Costs and Engineering Costs for further discussion of product development agreements.

 

 

 

Marketing costs for 2007 were $608,000, a $45,000 (6.9%) decrease over the $653,000 spent in 2006. This is primarily attributable to a decrease in trade show activity, travel and promotion costs. Expense allocated to marketing costs for amortization of share based compensation as required by SFAS 123R was approximately $29,000 for 2007 and $33,000 for 2006.

 

 

 

General and administrative costs for 2007 were $1,327,000 a $77,000 (6.2%) increase over the $1,250,000 spent in 2006. We allocated $8,000 of general and administrative costs to costs of sales for product development agreements in 2007 and $38,000 in 2006. (For more information on the allocation of certain general and administrative costs to cost of goods sold see Note B to the Financial Statements.) Without this allocation, general and administrative costs would have increased by $47,000 (3.6%) over 2006 to $1,335,000. The increase was primairly attributable to an increase in professional fees and investor relations costs. Expense allocated to G&A for amortization of share based compensation as required by SFAS 123R for 2007 was approximately $30,000 compared to $43,000 in 2006.

 

 

 

Engineering and product development expenditures decreased $68,000 (5.6%) to $1.146,000 in 2007 compared to $1.214,000 in 2006. We allocated $20,000 of engineering costs to costs of sales for product development agreements in 2007 compared to $137,000 in 2006. (For more information on the allocation of certain engineering costs to cost of goods sold see Note B to the Financial Statements.) Without these allocations, engineering costs would have decreased by $185,000 (13.7%) to $1,166,000 in 2007 compared to $1.351,000 in 2006. This is primarily attributable to decreases in staffing and related costs of $404,000, partially offset by increases in outside services and travel costs of $219,000. Expense allocated to engineering and product development costs for the amortization of share-based compensation as required by SFAS 123R for 2007 was $38,000 in 2007 compared to $94,000 in 2006.

 

 

 

Other income decreased $33,000 to $13,000 in 2007 compared to $46,000 in 2006. The decrease in 2007 is primarily attributeable to a loss on the abandonement of equipment of $16,000 and a decrease in royalty income of $13,000.

7


 

 

 

Interest expense increased $198,000 to $230,000 in 2007 compared to $32,000 in 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to increased debt of $2,614,000 in 2007 compared to 2006 (see Note C to financial statements).

 

 

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

 

 

 

Integral Vision’s revenues and operating results have varied substantially from quarter to quarter and management believes these fluctuations may continue. Our reliance on large orders has contributed to the variability of the our operating results.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

 

 

Operating activities for 2007 used cash of approximately $2.6 million primarily due to our loss from operations. Changes in working capital provided cash of $201,000, which was primarily due to a decrease in inventory of $117,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $54,000, a decrease in other current assets of $22,000 and an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $116,000.

 

 

 

Our investing activities included primarily the purchase of approximately $35,000 of equipment in 2007 and $8,000 for legal and patent office fees for new patent applications.

 

 

 

Our financing activities included net proceeds of $2,614,000 from the issuance of Class 2 Notes and we received $8,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.

 

 

 

We paid $30,000 of interest in 2007 on Class 3 Notes.

 

 

 

Management has made arrangements to issue up to $3,122,000 of Class 2 Notes under the terms of the Company’s existing Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement as amended. The Class 2 Notes are working capital notes and are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and intellectual property. The purchasers of Class 2 Notes receive 10% interest and the option to receive either warrants for the purchase of the Company’s stock or an additional 2% interest. Class 2 Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for each $1 in value of the Class 2 Note multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Class 2 note is outstanding and the denominator of which is 365. The Board of Directors has approved a $1.60 strike price for the warrants. The Notes will mature April 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had issued $2,964,000 of Class 2 Notes, primarily purchased by related parties. Management anticipates issuing the balance of these notes during the first quarter of 2008. As of December 31, 2007, the noteholders have earned 1,795,327 warrants, 335,545 of which are issued. The Company’s present cash position requires us to secure additional funding for the immediate future as well as funding to provide working capital for anticipated orders. Refer to Note P – Subsequent Events for recent activity associated with Class 2 Notes. Management expects to refinance these notes as part of our plan to raise additional capital in the second quarter of 2008 to fund operations through at least the first quarter of 2009 and provide working capital for anticipated orders.

 

 

 

Terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement provide antidilution protection for the 3,500,000 warrants outstanding and grant a right to holders of the 6,200,0000 outstanding shares of stock purchased at $1.00 per share under the agreement to swap the stock they purchased for new securities being offered in the future by the Company if the terms of the new securities are more favorable to the holders than the terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement. The antidilution protection on the warrants sets the conversion price of the warrant at the price of the new securities being issued and increases the total number of shares available under the warrant such that the total value of the warrant is kept constant. These terms would result in significant dilution if securities were sold at current market prices. Though there can be no assurance they will be successful, management expects to negotiate these terms as part of our plan to raise additional capital in the second quarter of 2008. Further, the terms of the 5th Amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement provides for the conversion price on outstanding warrants to be reduced to the price of new securities offered, but not lower than $0.25, resulting in a significant reduction of the amount of funds that will be realized by the Company in the event of an exercise of the warrants at current market prices. See financial statements Note P – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding potential dilution.

Impact of Inflation

 

 

 

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or our financial position. Amounts shown for property, plant and equipment and for costs and expenses reflect historical cost and do not necessarily represent replacement cost or charges to operations based on replacement cost. Our operations together with other sources are intended to provide funds to replace property, plant and equipment as necessary. Net income would be lower than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

 

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arragements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

 

 

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There was no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adopting FIN 48.

 

 

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities and January 1, 2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of this statement on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We will adopt SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and do not anticipate adoption to materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

 

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(Revised), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) makes various other amendments to authoritative literature intended to provide additional guidance or to confirm the guidance in that literature to that provided in this statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first

9


 

 

 

annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We expect to adopt this statement on January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 141(R)’s impact on accounting for business combinations is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

 

 

 

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest must be accounted for consistently, and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary must be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any non-controlling equity investment. The statement also requires entities to provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This statement applies prospectively to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements and applies prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of this statement on our financial condition and results of operations

 

 

Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

 

 

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. The accounting policies discussed below are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of our financial statements, because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2007, future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. These policies are also discussed in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 7 of this report.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

 

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”) Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

We account for certain product sales of flat panel display inspection systems as multiple-element arrangements. If specific customer acceptance requirements are met, we recognize revenue for a portion of the total contract price due and billable upon shipment, with the remainder recognized when it becomes due (generally upon acceptance). We recognize all other product sales with customer acceptance provisions upon final customer acceptance. We recognize revenue from the sale of spare parts upon shipment. Revenue from service contracts is recognized over the term of the contract. Revenue is reported net of sales commissions.

 

 

 

Revenue is also derived through business agreements for product development. We conduct specified product development projects related to one of our principal technology specializations for an agreed-upon fee. Typically the agreements require “best efforts” with no specified performance criteria. Revenue from product development agreements, where there are no specific performance terms, is recognized in amounts equal to the amounts expended on the programs. Generally, the agreed-upon fees contemplate reimbursing us, after our agreed-upon cost share if any, for costs considered to be associated with project activities. These include expenses for direct product development and research, operating expenses, general and

10


 

 

 

administrative expenses, and depreciation. Accordingly, expenses related to product development agreements are recorded as cost of revenues from product development agreements.

 

 

 

Inventories

 

 

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventories are recorded net of allowances for unsalable or obsolete raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the status of our inventory to ensure the amount recorded in the financial statements reflects the lower of our cost or the value we expect to receive when the inventory is sold. This estimate is based on several factors, including the condition and salability of the inventory and the forecasted demand for the particular products incorporating these components. Based on current backlog and expected orders, we forecast the upcoming usage of current stock. We record reserves for obsolete and slow-moving parts ranging from 0% for active parts with sufficient forecasted demand up to 100% for excess parts with insufficient demand or obsolete parts. Amounts in work-in-process and finished goods inventory typically relate to firm orders and, therefore, are not subject to obsolescence risk.

 

 

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

 

 

We review our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

 

 

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

 

 

We account for our share based compensation plans according to the provisions of SFAS 123-R. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period.

 

 

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight line basis over the requisite service periods. The expected life of all awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined using historical and other information available at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock, and other factors. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures.

 

 

 

Contingencies and Litigation

 

 

 

We make an assessment of the probability of an adverse judgment resulting from current and threatened litigation. The Company accrues the cost of an adverse judgment if, in Management’s estimation, an adverse settlement is probable and Management can reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of such litigation. The Company has made no such accruals at December 31, 2007.

ITEM 8A. Controls and Procedures

 

 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

 

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adaquate internal control over financial reporting for the small business issuer, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). We have designed such internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

 

 

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal fincancial controls using “SarboxPro”, a commercially available software package designed to implement the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission framework in compliance with SEC Release No. 34-55929. We have presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on our evaluation. We have also disclosed in this report any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

 

 

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

 

 

The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, in each case, within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and regulations. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

 

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fourth quarter of the fiscal year that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Integral Vision, Inc.
Wixom, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Integral Vision, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integral Vision, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note O to the financial statements, the Company is sustaining recurring losses from operations and is having difficulties in achieving the necessary sales to attain profitability. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note O. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Integral Vision, Inc.

Note A – Nature of Business

 

 

 

Integral Vision, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. We primarily inspect Microdisplays and small flat panel displays, though the technology used is scalable to allow inspection of full screen displays and components. Our customers and potential customers are primarily large companies with significant investment in the manufacture of displays. Nearly all of our sales originate in the United States, Asia, or Europe. Our products are generally sold as capital goods. Depending on the application, display inspection systems have an indefinite life and are more likely to require replacement due to possible technological obsolescence than from physical wear.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2006, we began activity associated with a product development agreement where we are compensated for a portion of our development costs for a certain best efforts product development. We may not be able to find future opportunities similar to this, but remain open to such development agreements where they facilitate our strategic goals.

Major Customers

 

 

 

The nature of our product offerings may produce sales to one or a limited number of customers in excess of 10% of total net sales in any one year. It is possible that the specific customers reaching this threshold may change from year to year. Loss of any one of these customers could have a material impact on our results of operations. For 2007, sales to Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Samsung, Liquavista B.V., and Texas Instruments represented 31%, 24% 14%, and 10% of net sales, respectively. Approximately $50,000 was due from two of these customers at December 31, 2007. For 2006, sales to Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Texas Instruments, Energy Conversion Devices, and DuPont represented 31%, 21%, 21% and 14% of net sales, respectively. There were no amounts due from these customers at December 31, 2006.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

 

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and investment grade commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

 

 

 

Trade accounts receivable during the year primarily represent amounts due from equipment manufacturers and end-users in North America, Asia and Europe. At times we maintain an allowance for the inability of our customers to make required payments. These estimates are based on historical data, the length of time the receivables are past due and other known factors. An allowance for doubtful accounts was not required at December 31, 2007.

Inventories

 

 

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Cost is computed using currently adjusted standards which approximates actual costs on a FIFO basis. We assesses the recoverability of all inventory to determine whether adjustments for impairment are required. At December 31, 2007 inventories consisted of the following amounts (net of an obsolescence allowance of $79,000 in 2007):

$

We periodically perform an analysis of our inventory to determine if its cost exceeds estimated net realizable value. Over the last several years, given the market conditions and the direction of the Company, we discontinued certain product lines and attempted to liquidate the remaining inventory related to those product lines.

 

 

Property and Equipment


 

 

 

Property and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

 

 

 

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets (building improvements-40 years, other property and equipment-3 to 10 years).

Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs

 

 

 

Computer software development costs are capitalized after the establishment of technological feasibility of the related technology. These costs are amortized following general release of products based on current and estimated future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product (not to exceed 5 years). We continually review the net realizable value of capitalized software costs. At the time that a determination is made that capitalized software amounts exceed the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized, any amounts in excess of the estimated realizable amounts are written off.

 

 

 

No software development costs were capitalized during 2007. Amortization of the costs capitalized prior to 2003 amounted to $0 and $38,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. These costs were primarily made up of payroll, fringe benefits, and other direct expenses such as facilities allocation. The software amortized over the period is tour microdisplay inspection software toolbox including vision processing algorithms and our patented sequence development and execution software. These software components are used in the products we sell.

Patents

 

 

 

Total patent costs incurred and capitalized were $8,000 and $12,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of the patents amounted to $11,000 and $9,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (not to exceed 5 years).

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

 

 

We review our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Deferred Revenue

 

 

 

Deferred revenue represents amounts periodically invoiced for sales orders in excess of amounts recognized as revenues. At December 31, 2007 there was no deferred revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

 

 

Our financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.

22


 

 

 

The recorded values of notes payable and long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates.

Revenue Recognition

 

 

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”) Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

We account for certain product sales of our flat panel display inspection systems as multiple-element arrangements. If specific customer acceptance requirements are met, we recognize revenue for a portion of the total contract price due and billable upon shipment, with the remainder recognized when it becomes due (generally upon acceptance). We recognize all other product sales with customer acceptance provisions upon final customer acceptance. We recognize revenue from the sale of spare parts upon shipment. Revenue from service contracts is recognized over the term of the contract. Revenue is reported net of sales commissions of $67,000 and $24,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Revenue is also derived through business agreements for product development. We conduct specified product development projects related to one of our principal technology specializations for an agreed-upon fee. Typically the agreements require “best efforts” with no specified performance criteria. Revenue from product development agreements, where there are no specific performance terms, are recognized in amounts equal to the amounts expended on the programs. Generally, the agreed-upon fees contemplate reimbursing us, after our agreed-upon cost share if any, for costs considered to be associated with project activities. These include expenses for direct product development and research, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation. Accordingly, expenses related to product development agreements are recorded as cost of revenues from product development agreements.

 

 

Allocations of General and Administrative Costs and Engineering Costs

 

 

 

We allocate a portion of general and administrative expense and a portion of engineering and product development expense to cost of sales from product development agreements based on a percentage of direct labor costs. These allocations are limited to the amount of revenues, after direct expenses, under the applicable agreements.

Concentrations of Credit and Other Risk

 

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. A significant portion of our customers are located in Asia, primarily Taiwan and Korea, and in Europe. Therefore, our sales to these countries may be adversely affected by the overall health of these economies, including the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations and political risks. We generally do not require collateral for most of our trade accounts receivable. For sales to some of our customers in certain geographic regions, we require letters of credit. Substantially all of our revenue is invoiced in U.S. dollars. For 2007, sales to four of the Company’s customers represented 79% of our total net revenue. We believe our credit evaluation and monitoring mitigates our credit risk.

Advertising

 

 

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $14,000 and $58,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

 

 

Our shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales for all periods presented.

Income Taxes

 

 

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), which requires the use of the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for net deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefit, or future deductibility is uncertain. All deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance.

Common Stock Options

 

 

 

We account for our share-based compensation plans according to the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period. SFAS 123R requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

 

 

Most sales are made in US dollars. Occasionally a sale or purchase may be made in Euros or Japanese Yen. Any transaction gains and losses are reflected in operating results and are generally not significant.

Reclassifications

 

 

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior periods’ presentations to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Contingencies and Litigation

 

 

 

We make an assessment of the probability of an adverse judgment resulting from current and threatened litigation. We accrue the cost of an adverse judgment if, in our estimation, an adverse settlement is probable and management can reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of such litigation. We had no such accruals at December 31, 2007.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

 

 

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There was no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adopting FIN 48.

 

 

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities and January 1, 2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of this statement on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We will adopt SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and do not anticipate adoption to materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

 

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(Revised), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) makes various other amendments to authoritative literature intended to provide additional guidance or to confirm the guidance in that literature to that provided in this statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We expect to adopt this statement on January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 141(R)’s impact on accounting for business combinations is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

 

 

 

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest must be accounted for consistently, and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary must be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any non-controlling equity investment. The statement also requires entities to provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This statement applies

25



 

 

 

prospectively to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements and applies prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of this statement on our financial condition and results of operations

Note C - Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

 

 

 

The Board of Directors at various meetings during 2007 authorized increases in the allowable outstanding balance of Class 2 Notes to the present total of $3,622,000. From November 2006 through December 31, 2007, we have issued $2,964,000 of Class 2 Notes to fund operations leaving a balance of $658,000 of Class 2 Notes available to be issued in future periods.

 

 

 

Class 2 notes have been issued primarily to related parties. The issued Notes have a maturity date of April 30, 2008. See Note O – Going Concern in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for activity associated with the maturity date of the Notes. See Note P – Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for recent activity associated with the issuance of Class 2 Notes.

 

 

 

The terms of the 5th Amended Note and Warrant Purchase agreement have been amended and or modified at various dates during 2007 and 2008 to affect the following:


 

 

 

 

1)

Grant the holders of Class 2 Notes the right to participate in future equity financings up to the face amount of their respective Notes.

 

 

 

 

2)

Issue warrants accrued on Class 2 Notes through July 30, 2007 if requested. The number of warrants requested by and issued to the Class 2 Note Holders was 335,545. The value of the warrants issued was $21,118 as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

 

 

 

3)

Allow Class 2 Note Holders to elect to receive accrued Class 2 warrants at the time they amend their notes and once each quarter.

 

 

 

 

4)

Extend the maturity date to April 30, 2008.


 

 

 

The Class 2 Notes are working capital notes and are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and intellectual property. The purchasers of Class 2 Notes receive 10% interest and the option to earn either warrants for the purchase of our common stock or additional interest at the annual rate of 2% for the period such Notes were outstanding. Class 2 Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock for each $1 in value of the Class 2 Note multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Class 2 Note is outstanding and the denominator of which is 365. The Board of Directors has approved a $1.60 strike price for the warrants. The antidilution terms of the warrants earned provide for the conversion price on the warrants to be reduced to the price of new securities sold, but not lower than $0.25, resulting in significant reduction of the amount of funds that will be realized by the Company in the event of an exercise of the warrants at current market prices. As of December 31, 2007, the note holders had earned 1,795,327 warrants of which 1,459,782 had not been issued. See Note P – Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for recent activity associated with the issuance of Class 2 Notes.

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2007, we had $378,000 in outstanding Class 3 Notes payable that are convertible into our common stock at $1.00 per share. The Notes are due April 30, 2008, and interest is paid semi-annually at 8%. The Class 3 Notes are secured by our intellectual property. The antidilution terms of the Class 3 Notes provide for their conversion price to be reduced to the price of new securities sold, but not lower than $0.25, which could result in an increase in the number of shares that would be realized by the noteholders in the event of a conversion of the notes if new capital is raised using equity at current market prices. See Note P – Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for recent activity associated with the Class 3 Notes.

Interest paid in 2007 was approximately $30,000 compared to interest expensed of $230,000. The $200,000 difference primarily represents amounts accrued and unpaid. Interest paid in 2006 was approximately $30,000 compared to interest expensed of $32,000. The $2,000 difference primarily represents amounts accrued and unpaid. Interest expense incurred on notes to related parties was approximately $200,000 and $2,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note D - Related Party Transactions

 

 

 

Maxco, Inc. provided consulting services to the Company through June of 2006. These services, which are no longer required, included assistance with financial statement preparation, compliance with governmental filing requirements, and assistance with certain financing arrangements. The Company and Maxco agreed on terms for payment for these services resulting in charges to operations of $6,960 in 2006.

Note E - Income Taxes

 

 

 

The Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company continually reviews realizability of deferred tax assets and recognizes these benefits only as reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards approximating $48.0 million (expiring: $6.9 million in 2010, $3.9 million in 2011, $3.8 million in 2012, $2.3 million in 2018, $6.6 million in 2020, $1.9 million in 2021, $5.7 million in 2022, $5.5 million in 2023, $2.7 million in 2024, $2.7 million in 2025, $2.9 million in 2026 and $3.0 million in 2027) for federal income tax purposes available to reduce taxable income of future periods and unused investment, alternative minimum tax, and research and development tax credits approximating $331,000. Additionally, the Company’s inactive subsidiary in the United Kingdom has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards approximating $3.8 million that do not expire. For financial reporting purposes, the net operating losses and credits have been offset against net deferred tax liabilities based upon their expected amortization during the loss carryforward period. The remaining valuation allowance is necessary due to the uncertainty of future income estimates. The valuation allowance increased $989,000 in 2007 and $957,000 in 2006.

 

 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31 are as follows:

There were no income tax payments made in 2007 or 2006.

 

 

 

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). There was no impact on our financial statements upon adoption. Because of our historical significant net operating losses, we have not been subject to income taxes since 1995. There were no unrecognized tax benefits during the periods presented.

 

 

 

We classify all interest and penalties as income tax expense. We did not have any accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2007.

 

 

 

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. As of December 31, 2007, we did not have any tax examinations in process.

Note F – Loss per Share

 

 

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon the exercise of common stock options and purchase warrants.

 

 

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

Warrants and options outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of these instruments would have an anti-dilutive effect. For additional disclosures regarding stock options and warrants see Note I.

Note G - Employee Savings Plan

 

 

 

We have an Employee Savings Plan covering substantially all employees. We contribute $.20 to the Plan for every dollar contributed by the employees up to 6% of their compensation. The Plan also provides for discretionary contributions by the company as determined annually by our Board of Directors. The contributions we charged to operations under the Plan were approximately $12,000 and $13,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note H – Lease Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

 

We use equipment and office space under operating lease agreements requiring rental payments approximating $104,000 in 2008, $102,000 in 2009, and $103,000 in 2010. Rent expense charged to operations approximated $104,000 and $99,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note I – Share-Based Compensation

 

 

 

We currently have two active stock option plans, the 1999 and the 2004 stock option plans (the “Plans”) which provide for options that may be granted to eligible employees, officers and directors of Integral Vision. We reserved 1,500,000 shares for future issuance under the Plans. As of December 31, 2007, there remained 99,000 shares which can be issued under the Plans.

 

 

 

The purpose of the Plans generally is to retain and attract persons of appropriate education, experience and ability to serve as our employees, to encourage a sense of proprietorship of such persons, and to stimulate an active interest in our development and financial success.

 

 

 

The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Committee determines which eligible employees will receive awards, the timing and manner of the grant of such option awards, the exercise price of the stock options (which may not be less than market value on the date of grant) and the number of shares. We may at any time amend or terminate the Plans, however no amendment that would impair the rights of any participant with respect to outstanding grants can be made without the participant’s prior consent.

 

 

 

We granted 475,000 options to employees during 2007. 210,000 options were granted to employees during 2006. See Note P Subsequent Events for activity associated with stock options since January 1, 2008.

 

 

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the assumptions noted in the following table. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight line basis over the requisite service periods. The expected life of all awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined using historical and other information available at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock, and other factors. The

29


risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors modified the terms of the May 16, 2006 option award program. The modification which was effective October 24, 2006 changed the exercise price from $1.50 top $0.60 per share and changed the vesting period from one year to two years.

The financial statement impact of the modifications, which was determined in accordance with SFAS 123R, increased the award program cost by $18,792. This amount added to the unrecognized cost of $144,910 from the original option award program totaled $163,702 and will be recognized ratably as compensation cost over the vesting period from October 24, 2006 through May 18, 2008

As of December 31, 2007, we had $110,169 of unrecognized expense related to un-vested share-based compensation which will be recognized ratably as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period from January 1, 2008 through September, 2008.

Note J – Contingencies and Litigation

Product Warranties

We provide standard warranty coverage for most of our products, generally for one year from the date of customer acceptance. We record a liability for estimated warranty claims based on historical claims and other factors. We review these estimates on a regular basis and adjust the warranty reserves as actual experience differs from historical estimates or other information becomes available. This warranty liability primarily includes the anticipated cost of materials, labor and travel, and shipping necessary to repair and service the equipment.

The following table illustrates the changes in our warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

Note K – Operations by Geographic Area

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

We are engaged in one business segment, vision-based inspection products. The following presents information by geographic area.

The Company received approximately $23,000 and $36,000 in royalties in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note M – Capitalized Software Costs

 

 

 

Management has focused its development, sales and marketing efforts on the Company’s inspection systems for the flat panel display (FPD) industry. Industry sources indicate that this market will be substantial once fully developed. The Company has developed inspection solutions for the leading technologies used in the FPD industry including liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS),

32



 

 

 

organic light emitting diodes (OLED and PolyOLED), electroluminescent (EL), high temperature polysilicon (HTPS), low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), liquid crystal display (LCD), and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

 

 

 

Management periodically performs an analysis of the net realizable value of capitalized software costs.

Note N – Market for the Company’s Common Stock

Information on the current quotes on the stock, which will continue to use the ticker symbol INVI, are available at the OTCBB’s website, www.otcbb.com and most financial information portals, such as that provided at http://finance.yahoo.com or http://quote.bloomberg.com. Integral Vision expects to continue to provide information through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as required for continued listing on the OTCBB. These filings can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Note O – Going Concern Matters

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, we incurred losses from operations in the the years of 2007 and 2006 of $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The continuing losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue operating as a going concern.

We are currently working with a number of large customers who are using our technologies to evaluate their microdisplay production or are evaluating our technology for the inspection of LCD displays and components. We expect that additional sales orders will be placed by these customers throughout 2008 and into 2009 provided that markets for these products continue to grow and the customers continue to have interest in our technology-assisted inspection systems. Ultimately, our ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on these large companies getting their emerging display technology products into high volume production and placing sales orders with us for inspection products to support that production. However, there can be no assurance that we will be succesful in securing sales orders sufficient to continue operating as a going concern.

From November 2006 through March 26, 2008, we have used $3,464,000 of Class 2 Notes to fund operations. All of these Notes mature April 30, 2008. We need to raise additional funds early in the second quarter of 2008 in order to sustain operations beyond that time frame. We expect that we will need to raise a minimum of $1.6 million to fund operations through the first quarter of 2009. We are in ongoing discussions with the existing Class 2 Note holders and expect the debt will be restructured and the maturity date will be extended as part of our plan to raise additional capital in the second quarter of 2008 to fund operations through at least the first quarter of 2009 and provide working capital for anticipated orders, however there can be no assurance that will happen. Additionally, terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement provide antidilution protection for the 3,500,000 warrants outstanding and grant a right to holders of the 6,200,000 outstanding shares of stock purchased at $1.00 per share under the agreement to swap the stock they purchased for new securities being offered in the future by the Company if the terms of the new securities are more favorable to the holders than the terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement. The antidilution protection on the warrants sets the conversion price of the warrant at the price of the new securities being issued and increases the total number of shares available under the warrant such that the total value of the warrant is kept constant. These terms would result in significant dilution if securities were sold at current market prices. Though there can be no assurance they will be successful, management expects to negotiate these terms as part of its plan to raise additional capital in the second quarter of 2008.

For further information regarding our obligations, see Note C – Long Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements and Note P – Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

33


Note P – Subsequent Events

Effective January 2, 2008, certain holders of Class 2 Notes earning 10% interest and warrants requested that all earned but unissued warrants be issued, resulting in the issuance of 568,986 warrants with a conversion price of $1.60 per share. The value of the warrants issued was $1,191 as valued using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. On January 18, 2008, the Noteholders and managment amended the terms of the existing Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement to increase the aggregate amount of Notes allowable from $3,500,000 to $3,700,000. In January 2008 we sold an additional $300,000 of Class 2 Notes, bringing the aggegate amount of outstanding Class 2 and Class 3 Notes to $3,642,000.

On January 22, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 129,000 options at $0.13 per share to certain officers of the Company. The issuance resulted in an expense of $11,278 which will be recognized ratably as compensation expense over the one year vesting period.

On February 15, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a plan to offer key employees the oppportunity to surrender certain options in exchange for replacement options effective February 15, 2008. The replacement options “cliff vest” 50% after 1 year and the balance after 2 years. The program received 100% participation. The exchange resulted in an additional expense of $62,995 which will be recognized ratably as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period from February 15, 2008 to February 15, 2010 along with the remaining $85,438 of unamortized compensation expense for the unvested portion of the options exchanged.

On March 12, 2008, the Board and Noteholders approved a 5th Amended and Restated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This agreement (i) increased the total allowable secured debt to $6,000,000; (ii) explicitly allowed for the exchange of one class of note under the agreement for another class of note under the agreement; (iii) committed us to request that shareholders authorize an increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock to 70,000,000; (iv) limits anti-dilution rights the Company can agree to in future capital raising transactions; (v) prohibits the Company from committing to issuing securities which exceed or potentially exceed 70,000,000 shares or the current authorized shares, whichever is greater; (vi) limits the number of shares that can be issued to existing employees while Class 2 debt is outstanding; (vii) modifies registration rights to take into account new SEC limitations on registrable shares; (viii) provides for reimbursment of certain expenses; (ix) explicitly allows notes to be purchased under separate agreements to a total of $6,000,000 of aggregate secured debt, (x) defers interest payments on Class 2 Notes until January 1, 2009; and (xi) modifies the conditions for prepayment of Class 3 Notes.

On March 21, 2008, the Board approved the 2008 Integral Vision, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan and is requesting that our shareholders ratify the plan. The Plan is designed to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing a means by which the Company can grant equity-based incentives to eligible employees of the Company or any Subsidiary as well as non-employee directors, consultants, or advisors who are in a position to contribute materially to the Company’s success (“Participants”). The Plan permits the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors to grant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Shares. The maximum number of shares cumulatively available is 4,828,000 plus (i) any shares that are forfeited or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the awards from the Plan or options from the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan and (ii) any shares exchanged as full or partial payment for the exercise price of any award under the plan.

In March we sold an additional $200,000 of Class 2 Notes, bringing the aggregate amount of outstanding Class 2 and Class 3 Notes to $3,842,000.

The maturity dates of the outstanding Class 2 Notes and Class 3 Notes were extended on various dates so that all are presently due on April 30, 2008.

The Company hereby approves and ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable until all of the Company’s Obligations have been paid in full and all of the financing arrangements between the Company and the Agent and the Noteholders have been terminated. The Company agrees that, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Agent and the Noteholders in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and any other Loan Document, the Agent and the Noteholders shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief, and the Company further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief.

          8. Release of Collateral. The Agent and the Noteholders hereby agrees that if the Company proposes to sell any of the Collateral other than in the ordinary course of business, the Agent and the Noteholders will release their interests in such Collateral and will sign any documents and take any further action necessary to effectuate such release upon payment of 90% of the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of such Collateral, up to the full amount of the Company’s Obligations to the Noteholders. It is agreed that the Company may

          10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

          11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section Headings, etc. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. All references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

          13. No Waiver: Cumulative Remedies.

A waiver by the Agent or the Noteholders of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent and the Noteholders would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Agent and the Noteholders any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other-right, power or privilege.

9. Secured Party’s Right to Perform. If Debtor fails to perform any obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, Secured Party may without giving notice to or obtaining Debtor’s consent, perform that obligation on behalf of Debtor. This may include without limitation, obtaining required insurance coverage for, or taxes or assessments or other liens relative to, the Collateral. Debtor shall reimburse Secured Party on demand of any such expenses incurred by Secured Party, and shall pay interest on such incurred sums at the rate of 10 per cent per annum from the date of the expense of Secured Party until paid in full by Debtor. In no event is Secured Party required to perform any of Debtor’s obligations, and in the event Secured Party does so, it shall not be a waiver of Secured Party’s right to declare an Event of Default or seek any other remedy under the law.

Secured Party may at any time in Secured Party’s discretion transfer any Collateral into Secured Party’s name or that of a nominee, and receive the payments, income, and revenues and hold them or apply them to the Obligations as Secured party may determine. Secured Party may take any action to collect from Debtor’s account debtors and obligors, including without limitation, if necessary, on behalf of and in the name of Debtor, notify Debtor’s account debtors

- 5 -


and obligors to make all payments directly to Secured Party, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Debtor, change any address of Debtor to which mail and payments are to be sent, and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and any other items pertaining to payment, shipment or storage of any Collateral. Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take all actions the Secured Party considers necessary or desirable to collect upon the Collateral, including without limitation, prosecuting actions against, or settling or compromising disputes and claims with, Debtor’s account debtors and obligors.

Secured Party has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Secured Party may release, modify or waive any collateral provide by any other person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Secured Party’s rights against Debtor. Debtor waives any right it may have to require Secured Party to pursue any third person for any of the Obligations.

d. Compliance With Other Laws. Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

e. Warranties. Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

f. Sales on Credit. If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Secured Party. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

g. Purchases by Secured Party. In the event Secured Party purchases any of the Collateral being sold, Secured Party may pay for the Collateral by crediting some or all of the Obligations of the Debtor.

- 6 -

EXHIBIT 4(10)

FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

          This Fifth Amended and Restated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Fifth Amended Agreement”) amends and completely replaces the prior version of this Fifth Amended Agreement. It remains effective as of the dates originally signed as to each Purchaser (under previous versions of this Fifth Amended Agreement).

          This Fifth Amended Agreement, dated effective as of the date noted by their signature as to each Purchaser, by and among Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), those purchasers listed on Exhibit A (each individually a “Purchaser “ and collectively, the “Purchasers”, which term shall include Class 2 Purchasers and Class 3 Purchasers, as defined below, successors and assigns and any permitted transferees of the Notes or the Warrants) and J. M. Warren Law Offices, P.C., as Agent.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES AND WARRANTS

 

 

 

 

(a)

The Company agrees to sell to the Purchasers and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or made pursuant hereto, the Purchasers agree to purchase from the Company on the Closing Date specified in Section 2 hereof, (i) a Note or Notes in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto and (ii) upon the purchase of a Class 2 Note or Class 3 Note, a Warrant or Warrants for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A. The number of Class 2 Warrants purchased by a Class 2 Purchaser will be determined based on the amount of its Class 2 Note and the length of time such Note is outstanding, as more fully explained in Section 1(d), below. In addition, Class 2 Purchasers may elect to take interest of 12% per annum on their Class 2 Note instead of acquiring a Class 2 Warrant or Warrants. The aggregate purchase price to be paid to the Company by the Purchasers for such Notes and such Warrants is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased by the Purchasers, which amount will be allocated in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof.

 

 

 

 

(b)

As used herein, “Note” or “Notes” means either “Class 2 Notes” or “Class 3 Notes” in a total aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $6,000,000 (excluding accrued or unpaid interest due thereon), however such $6,000,000 shall be decreased by the principal amount of any Class 3 Notes converted into the Company’s common stock subsequent to August 8, 2007.

-1-



 

 

 

(i) Class 1 Notes were issued by the Company pursuant to previous note and warrant purchase agreements (between March 2001 and September 2003). All such Class 1 Notes have been retired and no Class 1 Notes have been outstanding since April 2005. The Company will not issue Class 1 Notes under this Fifth Amended Agreement.

 

 

 

(ii) “Class 2 Notes” means the aggregate in principal amount of the Company’s 10% secured working capital notes due at the time the Accounts Receivable or the Letter of Credit proceeds on the orders specified in such Class 2 Note is received by the Company. Each Class 2 Note will be substantially in the form of the Class 2 Note set forth as Exhibit B hereto. Interest on the Class 2 Notes shall accrue from the Closing Date at the rate of 10% (12% if elected and no Class 2 Warrant is received). Class 2 Notes will be issued to fund working capital needs to enable the Company to manufacture and ship specified orders and will be paid as the accounts receivable or the Letter of Credit proceeds on those specified orders are received. Payments will be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. In the event the Class 2 Notes are not paid by the Company out of receivables or Letter of Credit Proceeds and the Company defaults on its obligations on the Class 2 Notes, the Class 2 Notes will have rights to payments under the Collateral Assignment (as defined below) and the right to payments under the WC Security Agreement and UCC financing statements (as defined below). At the time their Class 2 Note is issued or at any time their notes are outstanding, Class 2 Note holders will have the option to elect to cease accruing Class 2 Warrants, as defined below, and to instead begin receiving interest on their Class 2 Note at the rate of 12%.

 

 

 

(iii) “Class 3 Notes” means the aggregate in principal amount of the Company’s 8% secured convertible notes. Each Note will be substantially in the forms of the Notes set forth as Exhibit E and F hereto. Interest on the Class 3 Notes shall accrue from the Closing Date and shall be payable semi-annually on the first day of July and January of each year (the “Semi-Annual Payment Dates”), in the manner specified in the form of Class 3 Notes attached hereto as Exhibit E and F. Principal on the Class 3 Notes shall be paid at maturity, unless sooner called by the Company or converted into common stock of the Company at the option of the Holder. The conversion rate for Class 3 Notes shall be set at the time of their issuance by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 1, 2008, the Company has $378,000 principal amount on Class 3 Notes outstanding which were issued using the form of note on Exhibit E (“Old Class 3 Notes”). Class 3 Notes issued using the form of note on Exhibit F will be referred to herein as “New Class 3 Notes.” After the date hereof, the Company will only issue New Class 3 Notes. Old Class 3 Notes, New

-2-



 

 

 

Class 3 Notes and Class 2 Notes will be on par with each other in their rights to receive payment under the Collateral Assignment, as defined below.


 

 

 

 

(c)

If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate from the date of such nonpayment until paid in full (both before and after judgment).

 

 

 

 

(d)

As used herein, “Warrants” means “Class 2 Warrants.” “Class 2 Warrants” means the aggregate of Class 2 Common Stock purchase warrants evidenced by certificates substantially in the forms of Exhibit C and D hereto, together with Class 2 Warrants issued in exchange therefore or replacement thereof. Such Class 2 Warrants in the aggregate initially entitle the holders thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company, no par value, for each $1 in value of the Class 2 Notes issued to such Class 2 Purchaser multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Class 2 Note is outstanding and the denominator of which is 365, at a specified purchase price per share which shall be as agreed by the parties as of the date of the issuance of the corresponding Class 2 Note or such other price as the Board of Directors shall determine is appropriate based on the circumstances at the time, as set forth on Exhibit A hereto as to each Class 2 Purchaser and updated with each new purchase, such number and such price being subject to adjustment as provided in the forms of Warrants attached hereto as Exhibit C and D. Class 2 Note holders may elect to receive accrued Class 2 warrants at the time said Class 2 Note holders amend their notes. In addition to electing to receive accrued Class 2 warrants at the time Class 2 Note holders amend their notes, Class 2 Note holders may also elect to receive accrued Class 2 warrants once each calendar quarter. After November 1, 2006, the Company has and will only issue Class 2 Warrants in the form of Exhibit D

 

 

 

 

(e)

Anti-Dilution Provision for Old Class 3 Notes and Class 2 Warrants Issued Pursuant to Class 2 Notes Issued between January 1, 2004 and October 31, 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

In the event the Company issues, after February 29, 2004, any common stock, or any Preferred Stock, Warrant or Note convertible into common stock, which has a share price, or an exercise or conversion rate, lower than the exercise price for Class 2 Warrants issued pursuant to Class 2 Notes issued after January 1, 2004, or the conversion rate for Old Class 3 Notes, then the exercise price for such Class 2 Warrants issued pursuant to Class 2 Notes issued after January 1, 2004 and Old Class 3 Notes shall be reduced to such lower rate, but in no event will the exercise price/conversion rate be reduced to less than $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events after February 29, 2004). This

-3-


 

 

 

 

 

provision will not be triggered by shares issued for existing stock options under the Company’s stock option plans (as of February 29, 2004) or for the exercise of existing warrants (as of February 29, 2004).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(f)

Amendment of Class 2 Warrants. It is agreed that Section 2.2 of the Class 2 Warrants (issued in the forms as shown in Exhibits C and D) including issued and outstanding warrants, shall be amended by adding the following to said warrants:


 

 

 

 

 

(i)

In Section 2.2(a) After the phrase “but in no event will the exercise price be reduced to less than $0.25 per share” in said section shall be added the phrase as follows: “(subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events after the Issue Date).”

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

In Section 2.2(d) the phrase “without dilution” shall be deleted.

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

The following shall be added as section 2.2(e):

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exclusions from the Adjustment for Current Exercise Price. No adjustment of the current exercise price under Section 2.2 hereof shall be made as a result of or in connection with:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or Class 3 Notes;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the issuance of Warrants or Notes pursuant to this Agreement; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

the exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to options granted to certain employees or agents of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.


 

 

 

 

(g)

Amendment of Class 2 Warrants. It is further agreed that Section 3 of the Class 2 Warrants (issued in the form as shown in Exhibit D) including issued and outstanding warrants shall be amended by replacing said section in its entirety with as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

Section 3. Company’s Consolidation or Merger. If the Company shall at any time consolidate with or merge into another entity (where the Company is not the continuing corporation after such merger or consolidation), the holder of a Warrant shall thereafter (including, without limitation, the holder of a Warrant that is blocked from exercising said warrant pursuant to Section 1.1.(c) hereof [“Blocked Holder”]) be entitled to receive, upon the exercise thereof (including, without limitation, after allowing sufficient time for the Blocked Holder to unblock and exercise said blocked Warrant) in whole or in part, the securities or other property to which (and upon the same terms and with the same rights as) a holder of the number of Shares then deliverable upon the exercise thereof would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger (subject to adjustments under Section 2.2 hereof), and the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or merger as may be necessary to assure such holder that the provisions of the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, including,

-4-



 

 

 

 

 

but not limited to, obtaining a written acknowledgment from the continuing entity of its obligation to supply such securities or property upon such exercise and to be so bound by the Warrant and the Purchase Agreement. A sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. The provision in this section shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available upon the exercise of this Warrant as of the date of such consolidation or merger (due to a temporary waiver granted the Company by the holder of this Warrant).

 

 

 

SECTION 2. THE CLOSING

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Notes and Warrants will take place at the offices of J.M. Warren Law Offices, P.C. at such time and date as shall be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Purchasers. Such times and dates are herein referred to as the “Closing Dates” and individually as a “Closing Date.”

          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on each Closing Date (i) the Company will deliver to each Purchaser a Note or Notes, substantially in the form of Exhibit B for Class 2 Notes and Exhibit F for New Class 3 Notes, payable to such Purchaser (or its nominee as notified to the Company), and dated the Closing Date, in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A, and (ii) upon such Purchaser’s receipt thereof, such Purchaser will deliver to the Company by wire transfer an amount equal to the purchase price for such Notes (as specified in Section 1(a) hereof) payable to the order of the Company in immediately available funds (the Company is also allowed to exchange outstanding Notes for another class of Notes).

          (c) As an alternative to Section 2(b), upon receipt of a Purchaser’s signed copy of this Agreement, the Company will sign the Agreement, the Note and the Warrants, as applicable, and will instruct the Agent to communicate to the Purchaser that such documents have been signed and the Agent has obtained a perfected interest in the Collateral. Thereafter, upon the Company’s receipt by wire transfer of the purchase price for the Note and Warrants, the Company will deliver the signed Agreement, Note and Warrants, as applicable, to the Purchaser.

          (d) The Purchasers acknowledge that the Notes and the Warrants constitute an “investment unit” within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and that the Company will allocate the “issue price” (within the meaning of Section 1273(b) of the Code) of such investment unit, for all Income Tax purposes, between the Notes and Warrants as required by applicable tax law. Each Purchaser agrees to abide by Treasury Regulation § 1. 1273-2(h)(2) with respect to such allocation of the issue price. For all Notes and Warrants issued under this Agreement after December 31, 2001, the Company and its tax advisors have determined that the limited marketability of the Company’s Common Stock does not provide a reasonable basis for the Company and its advisors to determine a value for the Warrants issued or the conversion

-5-


rights. Therefore, all warrants issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, shall have only a minimal or negligible value ascribed to them. It is understood, however, that in the event market conditions change such that the warrants again have value, the Company and its tax advisors will determine an appropriate value for warrants issued thereafter with no need to amend this Agreement.

SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS

          (a) For purposes of the Loan Documents, the following definitions shall apply (such definitions to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; REPLACEMENT OF NOTES AND WARRANTS

          13.1. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall keep a register in which provisions shall be made for the registration of the Notes and Warrants and the registration of transfers of the Notes and Warrants. The register shall be kept at the office of the Company provided under Section 7.7 hereof. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note or Warrant at the office of the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes or Warrants, as the case may be, of a like aggregate principal amount of Notes or number of Shares. Each new Note issued upon transfer shall be in a principal amount of at least $10,000 and in integral multiples of $10,000 and dated the date or dates to which interest on the Notes or Warrants surrendered shall have been paid. Each new Warrant issued upon transfer shall be for at least 25% of the total Warrants held by such holder and dated the date of the original Warrant. All Notes or Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer of Notes or Warrants, as the case may be, shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as the Notes or Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer. The Company shall make a notation on each new Note of the amount of all payments of principal previously made on the old Notes with respect to which such new Note is issued and the date to which interest accrued on such old Note has been paid.

          13.2. Replacement of Notes and Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note or Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or bond reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation, upon

-41-


surrender of such Note or Warrant (which surrendered Note or Warrant shall be canceled by the Company), the Company will, without further charge, issue a new Note or Warrant, as the case may be, of like tenor in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or Warrant as if the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or Warrant were then surrendered for exchange.

SECTION 14. DEFAULTS

          14.1. Events of Default.

          (h) This Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall, at any time after their respective execution and delivery, and for any reason, cease to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null and void, or be revoked or terminated, or the validity or enforceability thereof or hereof shall be contested by the Company or any stockholder of the Company not a party to this Agreement, or the Company shall deny that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder or

-43-


hereunder, as the case may be.

          14.2. Acceleration of Notes. If an Event of Default occurs, then and in each such event the Majority Noteholders may at any time (unless all such Events of Default shall theretofore have been waived or remedied) at its or their option, by written notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes to be due and payable in full. Upon any such declaration or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (h) of Section 14.1 hereof (in which case no declaration is required), all Notes shall forthwith immediately mature and become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived. However, if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall so become due and payable and prior to the date of maturity stated in the Notes, all arrears (without giving effect to any such acceleration) of principal and interest on the Notes (with interest at the rate specified in the Notes on any overdue principal and, to the extent legally enforceable, on any overdue interest) shall be paid by or for the account of the Company, then the Majority Noteholders, by written notice or notices to the Company, may rescind or annul such declaration. If any holder of a Note shall give any notice or take any other action with respect to a claimed default, the Company, forthwith upon receipt of such notice or obtaining knowledge of such other action, will give written notice thereof to all other holders of the Notes then outstanding, describing such notice or other action and the nature of the claimed default.

SECTION 15. REMEDIES

          15.1. Enforcement of Rights; Exercise of Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of a Note or Warrant then outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Loan Document, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or for any other remedy (including, without limitation, damages). [Remedies for Events of Default pursuant to the WC Security Agreement are in said WC Security Agreement and are in addition to the remedies in this Section 15.] In addition, the Agent may:

          (a) without notice to or demand upon the Company, make such payments and do such acts as the Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect interest in the IP Collateral. The Company agrees to assemble the IP Collateral if the Agent so requires, and to make the IP Collateral available to the Agent as the Agent may designate. The Company authorizes the Agent to enter the premises where the IP Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the IP Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or Lien that in the Agent’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of the Company’s owned premises, the Company hereby grants the Agent a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days, limited by the rights of the owner of such premises, in order to exercise any of the Agent’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

-44-


          (b) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the IP Collateral. The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, the Company’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, and the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the IP Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any IP Collateral and the Company’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent’s benefit;

          (c) sell the IP Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including the Company’s premises) as the Agent determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the IP Collateral be present at any such sale;

          (d) give notice of the disposition of the IP Collateral (if allowed by law) as follows:

 

 

 

(i) the Agent shall give the Company and each holder of a security interest in the IP Collateral who has filed with the Agent a written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the IP Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made;

 

 

 

(ii) the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Company as provided in Section 22, at least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten (10) calendar days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the IP Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Notice to persons other than the Company claiming an interest in the IP Collateral shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished to the Agent;

 

 

 

(iii) if the sale is to be a public sale, the Agent also shall give notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held;

          (e) the Agent or any Noteholder may bid and purchase at any public or private sale and can offset the Company’s obligations against the purchase price; and

          (f) any deficiency that exists after disposition of the IP Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by the Company. Any excess after the payment of all expenses will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third parties, by the Agent to the Company.

          15.2. Payment of Expenses of Enforcement and Collection. In case of a default in the,

-45-


payment of any principal of or interest on any Note, or default in the payment of amounts owing under this Agreement or any Loan Document, or default in the observance of any other agreement or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document, the Company will pay to the holder thereof or party thereto, in addition to any interest or premium otherwise required, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any and all costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

          15.3. Delay Not a Waiver. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of the Agent, any holder of any Note or Warrant or any party to this Agreement or any Loan Document in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s or party’s rights. No right or remedy conferred hereby or by any Loan Document shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy referred to herein or therein or available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. To the extent permitted under any applicable law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit of any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension or redemption laws, whether such laws presently exist or may exist in the future, which laws might, but for this Section 15.3, be applicable to any sale of any or all of the assets of the Company (including without limitation the IP Collateral) made pursuant to any judgment, order or decree of any court, or otherwise based on any claim relating to or arising out of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents.

          15.4. Specific Enforcement. The Noteholders shall, in addition to other remedies provided by law, have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement and any Loan Document specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document will cause irreparable injury to the Noteholders and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Purchasers from pursuing any other remedies available to the Purchasers for such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Company.

          15.5. Certain Waivers. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other agreement between the Purchasers and the Company which may be applicable, the Company waives any right, to the extent applicable law permits, to receive prior notice of or a judicial or other hearing with respect to (i) any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of the IP Collateral in any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or by applicable law, and (ii) of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Agent’s rights hereunder. The Company also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or otherwise by law as an incident to any taking of possession by the Agent of Property subject to the Agent’s Lien. The Company also waives any damages (direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Agreement including the taking of possession of any IP Collateral or the giving of notice to any

-46-


account debtor, all to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law. The Company also consents that the Agent may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to the Company (limited by the rights of the owner of such premises if said owner is not the Company) without obligation to pay rent or other compensation or for use and occupancy, through self help, without judicial process and without having first given notice to the Company or obtained an order of any court. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith have been negotiated by the parties and the Company acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice and has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder.

SECTION 16. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

          Each holder of a Note or Warrant by acceptance thereof agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Notes, Warrants or Shares unless such Notes, Warrants or Shares have been registered under, or have been sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under, the Securities Act. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue a new Note or Warrant to a transferee thereof which (x) is not a holder of a Note or Warrant, the transferor must certify to the Company the facts on which the transferor is relying for such exemption and (y) is a holder of a Note or Warrant, the transferor must represent to the Company in writing that the transfer is so exempt, and in either case the transferor must provide an opinion from an attorney reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the requirements for the exemption have been met.

SECTION 17. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

          17.1. Piggyback Rights. Pursuant to Piggyback Rights in previous versions of this note and warrant purchase agreement, the Company filed a registration statement under the Securities Act for all Shares issued by the Company prior to April 30, 2005 and Shares issuable by the Company pursuant to securities held by Purchasers prior to April 30, 2005 (collectively here-in-after referred to as “Registered Shares”). The Company shall use its best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date when all Registered Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Shareholders.

          If permitted by law and if the Company shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for any sales of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or any warrants, units, convertibles, rights or other securities related or linked to any shares of the Company’s Common Stock) on behalf of the Company or otherwise (that are not the Registered Shares pursuant to the above paragraph), the Company shall give written notice of such registration no later than 60 days before its filing with the Commission to all holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares; provided that registrations relating solely to securities to be issued by the Company in connection with any employee stock option or employee stock purchase or savings plan on Form S-8 (or successor forms) under the Securities Act shall not be

-47-


subject to this Section 17.1. If holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes or Shares so request within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, the Company shall include in any such registration the Shares held or to be held after exercise of Warrants or Class 3 Notes by such holders and requested to be included in such registration (“Subsequent Registered Shares”).

          If the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that the number of Subsequent Registered Shares of Common Stock included in a registration statement be reduced, such reduction shall be effected on a pro rata basis taking into account the number of shares of Common Stock included in such registration statement by each selling shareholder in relation to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock included in such registration statement by all selling shareholders (including, without limitation, for such purpose shares that have been included in such registration statement pursuant to registration rights granted to the PIPE Investors); provided, however, that selling shareholders who are Affiliates of the Company shall have priority over all other selling shareholders in determining which shares are to be removed from such registration statement. For example, holders of shares or issuable shares that are eligible to be included in such registration statement that are eligible to sell shares or issuable shares pursuant to an exemption under securities laws (“Exempt Shares”) shall have such Exempt Shares removed from such registration statement so that Affiliates of the Company shall have more of their shares or issuable shares eligible to be sold pursuant to such registration statement. If there is any conflict with the provision in this paragraph with other provisions in Sections 17.2 through 17.9, the provisions in this paragraph shall take precedence and govern.

          17.2. Expenses. Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 17.2 and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 17, the entire costs and expenses of any registration and qualification pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof shall be borne by the Company. Such costs and expenses shall include, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and of its Accountants, all other costs, fees and expenses of the Company incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes or Shares relating to such registration and qualification, the cost of furnishing copies of each preliminary prospectus, each final prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto to underwriters (if any), dealers and other purchasers of the Shares and the costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the qualification of the Shares under the securities laws of various jurisdictions. The Company shall not, however, pay underwriting fees or commissions to the extent related to the sale of Shares sold in any registration and qualification, and such fees or commissions shall be paid by the selling holders of Shares.

          17.3. Procedures.

          (a) In the case of each registration or qualification pursuant to Section 17.1, the Company will keep all holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares advised in writing as to the initiation of proceedings for such registration and qualification and as to the completion thereof, and will advise any such holder, upon request, of the progress of such proceedings.

-48-


          (b) At the Company’s expense, the Company shall use its best efforts to keep each registration statement or statements registering such Subsequent Registered Shares continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date when all Subsequent Registered Shares covered by such registration statement or statements have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Share holders.

          (c) The Company will immediately notify each holder on whose behalf Shares have been registered pursuant to this Section 17 at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

          (d) If any registration under this Section 17 is in connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will furnish to each holder on whose behalf Shares have been registered pursuant to this Section 17 a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement, and (ii) a so called “cold comfort” letter signed by the independent public Accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, and such opinion of counsel and Accountants’ letter shall cover substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such Accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in Accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in connection with underwritten public offerings of securities.

          (e) Without limiting any other provision hereof, in connection with any registration of Shares under this Section 17, the Company will comply with the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act and all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and will make generally available to its securities holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning with the first month of the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

          (f) In connection with any registration of Shares under this Section 17, the Company will provide a transfer agent and registrar for the Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

          (g) In connection with any underwritten registration of Shares under this Section 17, the Company will, if requested by the underwriters for any Shares included in such registration, enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions

-49-


as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, provisions relating to indemnification and contribution. The holders on whose behalf Shares are to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement, and the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares and the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares. The Company shall cooperate with such holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares in order to limit any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or such underwriters to be made by such holders only to those representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder, such holder’s Shares and such holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. Such underwriting agreement shall comply with Section 17.4 hereof.

          (h) Upon request by any holder of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares who has requested that their shares be included in a registration, the Company will give such holder and their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and Accountants, (i) such information regarding the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as such holder may specify, and (ii) opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public Accountants who have certified its financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such holders or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, each registration statement, prospectus, amendment, supplement or any other document filed with respect to a registration under this Section 17 shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by the holders registering Shares in such registration and by their counsel.

          (i) The Company will cause all of the Shares registered pursuant to this Section 17 to be accepted for quotation to the same extent as similar securities issued by the Company.

          17.4. Provision of Documents. The Company will, at the expense of the Company, furnish to each holder of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares with respect to which registration has been effected, such number of registration statements, prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident to any registration or qualification referred to in Section 17.1 as such holder from time to time may reasonably request.

          17.5. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such holder and each person, if any, who controls the holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of their respective directors, officers, general partners and members against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses

-50-


and reasonable costs of investigation) to which the holder or underwriter or such controlling person may be subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as any thereof arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any registration statement under which such Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof (including all documents incorporated therein by reference), any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) any other document incident to the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or the qualification of the Shares under any state securities laws, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any item referred to in the preceding clause a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act or any other federal or state securities law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration or qualification, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by a selling holder of Shares or by any underwriter for such holder expressly for use therein (with respect to which information such holder or underwriter shall so indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter for the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of their respective directors, officers, general partners and members). The Company will enter into an underwriting agreement and other agreements with the underwriter or underwriters for any offering registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof and with the holders of Securities selling Shares pursuant to such offering, and such underwriting agreement and other agreements shall contain customary provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution which shall, at a minimum, provide the indemnification set forth above.

          17.6. Periodic Payments. The indemnification provided for in Section 17.5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, upon the presentation by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party of a statement showing the amount of expense, loss, damage or liability for which payment is then requested.

          17.7. Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 17.5, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 17.5 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its

-51-


election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment an actual or potential conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim. The indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not such indemnified party or any Person who controls such indemnified party is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party will have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.

          17.8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 17.5 is unavailable (for any reason other than a determination of its inapplicability by a court of competent jurisdiction) to hold harmless an indemnified party under such Section, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in Section 17.5 in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand, and the indemnified party on the other, in connection with statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, including without limitation the relative benefits received by each party from the offering of the securities covered by such registration statement, the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted and the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 17.8 were to be determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the underwriters, if any, 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 the first and second sentences of this Section 17.8. The Company and each holder of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares agrees with each other and any underwriters of the Shares, if requested by such underwriters, that (i) the underwriters’ portion of such contribution shall not exceed the underwriting discount and (ii) that the amount of such contribution shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such indemnifying party from the sale of securities in the offering to which the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses of the indemnified parties relate. 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.

          17.9. Certain Limitations in Connection with Future Grants of Registration Rights.

          (a) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any of its Common Stock providing for the granting to such holder of demand registration rights unless such agreement includes provisions to the effect that (i) the Company will give the holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, and Shares notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of a registration statement pursuant to the exercise of such rights and (ii) notwithstanding Section 17.1 hereof, if a holder of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares requests inclusion of Shares (whether such Shares are held directly or through the right to obtain such Shares upon the conversion of Warrants or Class 3 Notes held by such holder) and requests priority for such Shares in such registration statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, then such holder’s Shares requested to be so included will be given priority over the securities sought to be registered by the holders of such demand registration rights if marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities to be included in such registration statement If a holder of Warrants, Class 3 Notes or Shares requests inclusion of its Shares (whether such Shares are held directly or through the right to obtain such Shares upon conversion of Warrants or Class 3 Notes held by such holder), but does not request such priority for such Shares in such registration, then such Shares shall be included in such registration statement in the manner described in Section 17.1 hereof.

          (b) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any of its Common Stock providing for the granting to such holder of incidental or “piggyback” registration rights unless such agreement includes provisions to the effect that, in the case of a registered underwritten public offering of the Company’s Common Stock to which Section 17.1 hereof applies, such agreement gives the following priority to holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares if marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such offering the holders of Warrants, Class 3 Notes, or Shares and other holders of securities of the Company having piggyback registration rights shall have an equal right to include securities in such registration (beyond the amount to be included on behalf of the Company) in proportion to their relative holdings of shares of Common Stock of the Company (whether held directly or obtainable upon conversion or the exercise of warrants, convertible notes, or other rights).

          17.10. Registration Rights under previous versions of the Agreement. Any holders of Shares or Notes that were acquired under previous versions of this Agreement who do not accept this Agreement (“Prior Share or Note Holders”) shall retain the registration rights given such Prior Share or Note Holders under the previous version of this Agreement that such Prior Share or Note Holders received their Shares or Notes.

SECTION 18. INDEMNIFICATION; EXPENSES;

          18.1. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Purchaser and each

-53-


holder of a Note or Warrant or Share harmless (including any of such Purchaser’s or holder’s affiliated companies) and any of such Purchaser’s or holder’s directors, officers, employees, or agents and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act) such Purchaser or holder or any of its affiliated companies (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, securities law penalties, and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable fees and expenses whatsoever incurred by an Indemnified Person and its attorneys in investigating, preparing for, defending against, acting as a witness, providing evidence, producing documents, or taking any other action in respect of any litigation or proceeding, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever), (collectively, the “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, other than to the extent Losses result from the negligence or misconduct of the Indemnified Person. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any other rights which the Indemnified Persons may have against the Company otherwise than under this paragraph. If a court shall hold for any reason that the preceding indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person as to any matter for which it would be available if enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other agree to contribute to such loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits and the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements, actions, or omissions which results in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

          18.2. Indemnification Procedures. If any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Company of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant hereto and of which such Indemnified Party knew or reasonably should have known; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the amount owed by the Company has been increased by such failure. The Company shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Person within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Person of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (1) the Company agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Company fails promptly to assume, or to diligently pursue, the defense of such claim or proceeding (in which case if such Indemnified Person notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Person). Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Company, such Indemnified Person will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably

-54-


withheld or delayed).

          18.3. Expenses. The Company will pay the estimated expenses incurred and anticipated to be incurred (with a limit of $30,000) by the Representative (of the Class 2 Purchasers) for due diligence out-of-pocket expenses and legal and consulting fees and expenses.

SECTION 19. DIRECT PAYMENTS

          As long as the Purchaser or any payee named in the Notes delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, or any institutional holder which is a direct or indirect transferee from the Purchaser or such payee, shall be the holder of any Note, the Company will make payments (whether at maturity, upon mandatory or optional prepayment, upon repurchase or otherwise) of principal, interest and premium, if any, (i) by check payable to the order of the holder of any such Note duly mailed or delivered to such address as the Purchaser or such other holder may designate in writing or (ii) if requested by the Purchaser or such other holder, by wire transfer to the Purchaser’s or such other holder’s (or its nominee’s) account at any bank or trust company in the United States of America, notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any Note with respect to the place of payment. IF THE PURCHASER HAS PROVIDED AN ADDRESS ON EXHIBIT A HERETO FOR PAYMENTS BY WIRE TRANSFER, THEN THE PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REQUESTED WIRE TRANSFER PAYMENTS UNDER THE PRECEDING CLAUSE (ii). All such payments shall be made in federal or other immediately available funds and shall be transmitted by 2:00 p.m. local time at the place of payment on the day when due.

SECTION 20. SECURITY INTEREST

          20.1. Grant of Security Interest. The Company shall grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and Noteholders a security interest in the IP Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Assignment.

SECTION 21. THE AGENT

          21.1. Appointment. Each Noteholder hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent as the agent of such Noteholder under this Agreement and the Collateral Assignment, and each such Noteholder irrevocably authorizes the Agent, as the agent for such Noteholder, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Assignment and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Assignment, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          21.2. Fees of Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to reasonable fees for the performance

-55-


of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, which fees shall be paid by the Company or as provided by Section 21.3 hereunder.

          21.3. Application of Proceeds of the IP Collateral. All IP Collateral shall be held or administered by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders. Any proceeds received by the Agent from the foreclosure, sale, lease or other disposition of any of the IP Collateral and any other proceeds received pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents shall be applied, first, to the cost of any such foreclosure, sale, lease or other disposition including the reasonable fees of the Agent and, second, to the payment in full of the remaining Company’s Obligations pro rata in proportion to the amount of the Company’s Obligations owed to each Noteholder.

          21.4. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

          21.5. Reliance by Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the registered owner of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Noteholders as it deems appropriate. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Notes or any Loan Document in accordance with a request of the Majority Noteholders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Noteholders and all future Noteholders.

          21.6. Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from the Company or the Majority Noteholders referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take, or refrain from taking, such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Noteholders.

          21.7. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Noteholder” and “Noteholders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

          21.8 Conflict of Interest. Noteholders hereby acknowledge that Warren Cameron Asciutto & Blackmer, P.C. operating under its new name, J.M. Warren Law Offices, P.C. (the “Initial Agent”) serves as general counsel to the Company and that certain duties of the Initial Agent could present a conflict between the interest of the Company and the interests of the Noteholders. The Initial Agent has agreed to serve as Agent as an accommodation. In the event

-56-


of any dispute between the Company and the Noteholders, it is agreed that the Initial Agent will resign its position as Agent and that no objection will be raised regarding the Initial Agent’s representation of the Company. A Default pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a dispute pursuant to this section unless the Company or the Majority Noteholders give notice to the Initial Agent that they deem said Default to be a dispute between the Company and the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Agent may elect to deem a Default as a dispute between the Company and the Noteholders in its sole discretion

          21.9. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 10 days notice to the Noteholders. If the Agent resigns as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Majority Noteholders on whose behalf such Agent is acting shall appoint a successor agent for the Noteholders, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any Loan Document or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 21 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall use its best efforts to notify the Company and any pre-designated Successor Agent of any such resignation; provided, however, neither the Agent nor the Purchasers shall be held liable in any respect for the failure to provide such notice; and further provided, however, that until the Company receives notice of the Agent’s resignation and of the appointment of a successor agent, the Company shall be entitled to rely upon the Agent as the Agent hereunder.

          The Majority Noteholders may also elect to remove the Agent by giving the Company, the Agent, and any pre-designated Successor Agent notice of such election which shall be effective upon 10 days notice to either the Company or the Agent. If there is no pre-designated Successor Agent, the notice from the Majority Noteholders to remove the Agent must designate a Successor Agent to be effective.

          The Majority Noteholders hereby designate The Klonoff Company, Inc., a California Corporation, to be the Successor Agent under this Agreement if, and when, the Initial Agent resigns or is removed. The Klonoff Company, Inc.’s contact information is as follows:

The Warrants and the Notes have been issued pursuant to the Fourth Amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated effective as of the Closing Date for each Purchaser (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and the Purchasers named therein. This Warrant is subject to the provisions, and is entitled to the benefits, of the Purchase Agreement, including,

1


without limitation, the registration rights provisions contained therein. Capitalized terms used without definition herein are as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

          The Company represents that all Shares to which the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled upon the exercise thereof (i) are duly authorized by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, (ii) have been duly authorized to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants from time to time in whole or in part, (iii) will be, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, duly authorized and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all Liens and rights of others whatsoever (other than Liens and rights of others claiming by, through or under the holder hereof) and (iv) will not be at the time of such exercise subject to any restrictions on transfer or sale except as provided by applicable laws.

          Section 1. Exercise of Warrant.

          1.1. Manner of Exercise.

          (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the holder, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day by surrender of this Warrant, together with a subscription duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its office designated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (or, if such exercise is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, at the location at which the underwriting agreement requires that such Shares be delivered).

          (b) Payment of the exercise price for Shares shall be made, at the option of the holder (i) as provided in Section 1.5 hereof, or (ii) by check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company, in any case, in an amount equal to (A) the number of Shares specified in such subscription, multiplied by (B) the then current exercise price. Such holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of Shares specified in such subscription (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided in Section 1.3 hereof).

          1.2. Effective Date. Each exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 (a) shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1.1 hereof (except that if such exercise is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, then such exercise shall be deemed to have been effected upon such surrender of this Warrant), and such exercise shall be at the current exercise price in effect at such time. On each such day that an exercise of this Warrant is deemed effected, the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Shares are issuable upon such exercise (as provided in Section 1.3 hereof) shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record.

          1.3. Share Certificates; Cash for Fractional Shares; and Reissuance of Warrants. As promptly as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in connection with a public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, in which event concurrently with such exercise), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or other taxes) will cause to be issued in

2


the name of and delivered to the holder hereof or such other person as such holder may direct:

          (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per Share on the effective date of such exercise; and

          (b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number (which may be fractional) of Shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) equal to the number of such Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Shares obtained upon such exercise.

          1.4. Acknowledgment of Obligation. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof or of any Shares issued upon such exercise, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder all rights (including, without limitation, any rights to registration of any such Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) to which such holder shall continue to be entitled under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement; provided, that if any such holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such holder.

          1.5. Notes. The holder shall have the option, but not the obligation, upon any exercise of this Warrant, to apply to the payment required by Section 1.1 all or any part of the accrued and unpaid interest on, or principal of, any Notes at the time held by the holder. The Company will accept the amount of accrued and unpaid interest or principal, if such election is selected, in satisfaction of the exercise price for such Shares to be purchased. The holder shall have the right to apply all or any portion of such accrued and unpaid interest or principal to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant whether or not payment on the Notes is otherwise prohibited.

          1.6. Restriction. The holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrant will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, will not be saleable in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration, and accordingly may be required to be held for an indefinite period of time. The holder agrees that Shares issued pursuant hereto may contain the following legend on the face thereof: “This security has not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and each holder of this security by the acceptance hereof agrees that this security shall not be transferred in violation of said Act.” The Company agrees that such legend shall be removed from any Shares which are no longer subject to such restrictions.

          Each holder of a Warrant by acceptance thereof agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Warrants or Shares unless such Warrants or Shares have been registered under, or have been sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under, the Securities Act. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue a new Warrant to a transferee thereof which (x) is not a holder of a Warrant, the transferor must certify to the Company the facts on which the transferor is relying for such exemption or (y) is a holder of a Warrant, the transferor must represent to the Company in

3


writing that the transfer is so exempt, and in either case the transferor must provide an opinion from an attorney reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the requirement for the exemption have been met.

          Section 2. Current Exercise Price and Adjustments.

          2.1 Current Exercise Price. The term “current exercise price” shall mean initially the Purchase Price per Share, subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided. In determining the current exercise price, the result shall be expressed to the nearest $.01, but any lesser amount shall be carried forward and shall be considered together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to $.01 per Share or more.

          2.2. Adjustment of Current Exercise Price. The current exercise price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time (but not below zero), as follows:

          (a) Anti-Dilution Adjustment. In the event the Company issues, after February 29, 2004, any common stock, or any Preferred Stock, Warrant or Note convertible into common stock, which has a share price, or any exercise or conversion rate, lower than the exercise price for this Warrant, then the exercise price for this Warrant shall be reduced to such lower rate, but in no event will the exercise price be reduced to less than $0.25 per share. This provision will not be triggered by shares issued for existing stock options under the Company’s stock option plans or for the exercise of existing Warrants.

          (b) Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Recapitalization. etc. In the event the Company shall, after the Closing Date, issue any shares of Common Stock (i) by stock dividend or any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or (ii) in subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be reduced proportionately; and, in like manner, in the event of any combination of shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be increased proportionately. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

          (c) Reorganization Adjustments. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or a stock split-up), the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase for the current exercise price the securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which this Warrant entitled the holder hereof to purchase immediately prior to such capital reorganization or reclassification. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any other securities or property other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the current exercise

4


price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section 2.2.

          (d) Other Adjustments. Without limiting any provisions of this Section 2.2 or any other provisions of this Warrant, in case any event shall occur as to which any of the provisions of this Section 2.2 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the exercise rights represented by the Warrants in accordance with the intent and principles of this Section 2.2, the Company shall at its expense appoint a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company), and reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the intent and principles established in this Section 2.2, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the economic and other rights represented by the Warrants. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail copies thereof to the holders of the Warrants and shall make the adjustments described therein.

          Section 3. Company’s Consolidation or Merger. If the Company shall at any time consolidate with or merge into another entity (where the Company is not the continuing corporation after such merger or consolidation), the holder of a Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the exercise thereof in whole or in part, the securities or other property to which (and upon the same terms and with the same rights as) a holder of the number of Shares then deliverable upon the exercise thereof would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger (subject to adjustments under Section 2.2 hereof), and the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or merger as may be necessary to assure such holder that the provisions of the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, including, but not limited to, obtaining a written acknowledgment from the continuing entity of its obligation to supply such securities or property upon such exercise and to be so bound by the Warrant and the Purchase Agreement. A sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

          Section 4. Notice to Holders of Warrants.

          In case at any time:

          (i) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the current exercise price pursuant to Section 2.2; or

          (ii) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or any sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

5


          (iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice to the holders of the Warrants, not less than twenty (20) days before any record date or other date set for definitive action, of the date on which such action, reorganization, reclassification, sale, transfer, lease, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, and the terms thereof.

          Section 5. Number of Shares. No adjustment of the current exercise price will increase the number of Shares which a holder will be entitled to purchase.

          Section 6. No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company (prior to exercise of all or a portion of this Warrant) or as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors or stockholders of the Company or otherwise.

          Section 7. Ownership; Transfer. The Company may treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as the owner and holder of this Warrant for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary (except that the Company shall comply with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement regarding the issuance of a new Warrant or Warrants to transferees). This Warrant is transferable upon the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement.

          Section 8. Covenants

          8.1. Information Requirements. The Company will provide to each holder of Warrants or Shares, promptly after the same are available, copies of each annual report, proxy or financial statement or other communication sent to the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s stockholders and copies of all annual, regular, periodic and special reports and registration statements which the Company may file or be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or with any securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

          8.2. Reservation of Shares. There have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the then outstanding Warrants.

          8.3. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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. The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms, and in the taking of all such action, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other

6


impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, free from all taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, upon the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of this current exercise price under this Warrant if the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.

          8.4. Listing of Shares. If the Company shall list any shares of its Common Stock on any national securities exchange, it will take such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to list the Shares, subject to issuance, on such exchange.

          8.5. Securities Exchange Act Registration. At any time that the Company either files and such filing becomes effective, or is required to file, a registration statement with respect to Common Stock of the Company under Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act, then thereafter:

          (a) The Company will maintain effective a registration statement (containing such information and documents as the Commission shall specify and otherwise complying with the Securities Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock of the Company under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g), whichever is applicable, of the Securities Exchange Act and will file on time such information, documents and reports as the Commission may require or prescribe for companies whose stock has been registered pursuant to such Section 12(b) or Section 12(g), whichever is applicable.

          (b) The Company will, upon the request of the holder hereof or of any Shares, make whatever other filings with the Commission, or otherwise make generally available to the public such financial and other information, as any such holder may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to enable such holder to be permitted to sell Shares pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor statute, rule or regulation to Rule 144).

          8.6. Delivery of Information for Rule 144A Transactions. If a holder of Warrants or Shares proposes to transfer any such Warrants or Shares pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (as in effect from time to time), the Company agrees to provide (upon the request of such holder or the prospective transferee) to such holder and (if requested) to the prospective transferee any financial or other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries which is required to be delivered by such holder to any transferee of such Warrants or Shares pursuant to such Rule 144A.

          Section 9. Headings. The headings and captions in this Warrant are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit or otherwise affect any of the terms or provisions

hereof.

          Section 10. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan (other than any conflict of laws rule which might result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction).

          Section 11. Survival. The obligations of the Company under this Warrant shall survive its full exercise.

          Section 12. Definitions. Terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Purchase Agreement and are used herein with the same definition.

No. _____

__________ Shares

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned INTEGRAL VISION, INC., a Michigan corporation (herein referred to as the “Company”), hereby certifies and agrees that _________________________________________________________________________________________, or registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of ___________________________________________________________ duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value, or any stock into which such Common Stock shall have been changed or any stock or other securities resulting from a reclassification thereof (all such shares, stock or other securities which may be purchased by this, and all other, Warrants are herein known as the “Shares”) at a purchase price per Share of the lower of (i) $_________ or (ii) the price determined according to Section 2.2(a) hereof (the “Purchase Price”) at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until 5:00 p.m. on the fourth anniversary of the date hereof. The foregoing agreement and rights are all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth below in this Warrant Certificate.

          This Warrant Certificate is one of the Class 2 Common Stock Purchase Warrant Certificates (the “Warrants”, which term includes all Class 2 Warrants issued in substitution therefor) originally issued in connection with the issue and sale by the Company of its Class 2 10% Secured Notes (the “Notes”). The Warrants and the Notes have been issued pursuant to the Fourth Amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated effective as of the Closing Date for each Purchaser (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and the Purchasers named therein. This Warrant is

1


subject to the provisions, and is entitled to the benefits, of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used without definition herein are as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

          The Company represents that all Shares to which the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled upon the exercise thereof (i) are duly authorized by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, (ii) have been duly authorized to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants from time to time in whole or in part, (iii) will be, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, duly authorized and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all Liens and rights of others whatsoever (other than Liens and rights of others claiming by, through or under the holder hereof) and (iv) will not be at the time of such exercise subject to any restrictions on transfer or sale except as provided by applicable laws.

          Section 1. Exercise of Warrant.

          1.1. Manner of Exercise.

          (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the holder, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day by surrender of this Warrant, together with a subscription duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its office designated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (or, if such exercise is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, at the location at which the underwriting agreement requires that such Shares be delivered).

          (b) Payment of the exercise price for Shares shall be made, at the option of the holder (i) as provided in Section 1.5 hereof, or (ii) by check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company, in any case, in an amount equal to (A) the number of Shares specified in such subscription, multiplied by (B) the then current exercise price. Such holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of Shares specified in such subscription (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided in Section 1.3 hereof).

          (c) Restrictions. [The following provision shall be omitted at the request of any Purchaser made to the Company prior to issuance of the Warrant] The holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 9.90% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Shares or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of

2


this Section 1.1(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by holder that the Company is not representing to holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1.1(c) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 1.1(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 1.1(c) may be waived by the holder, at the election of the holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 1.1(c) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

          1.2. Effective Date. Each exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 (a) shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1.1 hereof (except that if such exercise is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, then such exercise shall be deemed to have been effected upon such surrender of this Warrant), and such exercise shall be at the current exercise price in effect at such time. On each such day that an exercise of this Warrant is deemed effected, the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Shares are issuable upon such exercise (as provided in Section 1.3 hereof) shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record.

          1.3. Share Certificates; Cash for Fractional Shares; and Reissuance of Warrants. As promptly as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in connection with a public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, in which event concurrently with such exercise), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or other taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof or such other person as such holder may direct:

          (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be

3


entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per Share on the effective date of such exercise; and

          (b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number (which may be fractional) of Shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) equal to the number of such Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Shares obtained upon such exercise.

          1.4. Acknowledgment of Obligation. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof or of any Shares issued upon such exercise, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder all rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement; provided, that if any such holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such holder.

          1.5. Notes. The holder shall have the option, but not the obligation, upon any exercise of this Warrant, to apply to the payment required by Section 1.1 all or any part of the accrued and unpaid interest on, or principal of, any Notes at the time held by the holder. The Company will accept the amount of accrued and unpaid interest or principal, if such election is selected, in satisfaction of the exercise price for such Shares to be purchased. The holder shall have the right to apply all or any portion of such accrued and unpaid interest or principal to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant whether or not payment on the Notes is otherwise prohibited.

          1.6. Restriction. The holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrant will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, will not be saleable in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration, and accordingly may be required to be held for an indefinite period of time. The holder agrees that Shares issued pursuant hereto may contain the following legend on the face thereof: “This security has not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and each holder of this security by the acceptance hereof agrees that this security shall not be transferred in violation of said Act.” The Company agrees that such legend shall be removed from any Shares which are no longer subject to such restrictions.

          Each holder of a Warrant by acceptance thereof agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Warrants or Shares unless such Warrants or Shares have been registered under, or have been sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under, the Securities Act. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue a new Warrant to a transferee thereof which (x) is not a holder of a Warrant, the transferor must certify to the Company the facts on which the transferor is relying for such exemption or (y) is a holder of a Warrant, the transferor must represent to the Company in writing that the transfer is so exempt, and in either case the transferor must provide an opinion from an attorney reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the requirement for the exemption have been met.

          Section 2. Current Exercise Price and Adjustments.

          2.1 Current Exercise Price. The term “current exercise price” shall mean initially the Purchase Price per Share, subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided. In determining the current exercise price, the result shall be expressed to the nearest $.01, but any lesser amount shall be carried forward and shall be considered together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to $.01 per Share or more.

          2.2. Adjustment of Current Exercise Price. The current exercise price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time (but not below zero), as follows:

          (a) Anti-Dilution Adjustment. In the event the Company issues, after November 1, 2006, any common stock, or any Preferred Stock, Warrant or Note convertible into common stock, which has a share price, or any exercise or conversion rate, lower than the exercise price for this Warrant, then the exercise price for this Warrant shall be reduced to such lower rate, but in no event will the exercise price be reduced to less than $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events after the Issue Date). This provision will not be triggered by shares or options issued to employees, officers, or directors of the Company under the Company’s stock option plans or shares issued under existing warrants or convertible notes.

          (b) Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Recapitalization. etc. In the event the Company shall, after the Closing Date, issue any shares of Common Stock (i) by stock dividend or any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or (ii) in subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be reduced proportionately; and, in like manner, in the event of any combination of shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be increased proportionately. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

          (c) Reorganization Adjustments. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or a stock split-up), the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase for the current exercise price the securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which this Warrant entitled the holder hereof to purchase immediately prior to such capital reorganization or reclassification. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any other securities or property other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the current exercise price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent

5


as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section 2.2.

          (d) Other Adjustments. Without limiting any provisions of this Section 2.2 or any other provisions of this Warrant, in case any event shall occur as to which any of the provisions of this Section 2.2 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the exercise rights represented by the Warrants in accordance with the intent and principles of this Section 2.2, the Company shall at its expense appoint a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company), and reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the intent and principles established in this Section 2.2, necessary to preserve the economic and other rights represented by the Warrants. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail copies thereof to the holders of the Warrants and shall make the adjustments described therein.

          (e) Exclusions from the Adjustment for Current Exercise Price. No adjustment of the current exercise price under Section 2.2 hereof shall be made as a result of or in connection with:

 

 

 

 

(i)

the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or Class 3 Notes;

 

 

(ii)

the issuance of Warrants or Notes pursuant to this Agreement; or

 

 

(iii)

the exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to options granted to certain employees or agents of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.

          Section 3. Company’s Consolidation or Merger. If the Company shall at any time consolidate with or merge into another entity (where the Company is not the continuing corporation after such merger or consolidation), the holder of a Warrant shall thereafter (including, without limitation, the holder of a Warrant that is blocked from exercising said warrant pursuant to Section 1.1.(c) hereof [“Blocked Holder”]) be entitled to receive, upon the exercise thereof (including, without limitation, after allowing sufficient time for the Blocked Holder to unblock and exercise said blocked Warrant) in whole or in part, the securities or other property to which (and upon the same terms and with the same rights as) a holder of the number of Shares then deliverable upon the exercise thereof would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger (subject to adjustments under Section 2.2 hereof), and the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or merger as may be necessary to assure such holder that the provisions of the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, including, but not limited to, obtaining a written acknowledgment from the continuing entity of its obligation to supply such securities or property upon such exercise and to be so bound by the Warrant and the Purchase Agreement. A sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. The provision in this section shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available upon the exercise of this Warrant as of the date of such consolidation or merger (due to a temporary waiver granted the Company by the holder of this Warrant).

6


          Section 4. Notice to Holders of Warrants.

          In case at any time:

          (i) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the current exercise price pursuant to Section 2.2; or

          (ii) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or any sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

          (iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice to the holders of the Warrants, not less than twenty (20) days before any record date or other date set for definitive action, of the date on which such action, reorganization, reclassification, sale, transfer, lease, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, and the terms thereof.

          Section 5. Number of Shares. No adjustment of the current exercise price will increase the number of Shares which a holder will be entitled to purchase.

          Section 6. No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company (prior to exercise of all or a portion of this Warrant) or as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors or stockholders of the Company or otherwise.

          Section 7. Ownership; Transfer. The Company may treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as the owner and holder of this Warrant for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary (except that the Company shall comply with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement regarding the issuance of a new Warrant or Warrants to transferees). This Warrant is transferable upon the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement.

          Section 8. Covenants

          8.1. Information Requirements. The Company will provide to each holder of Warrants or Shares, promptly after the same are available, copies of each annual report, proxy or financial statement or other communication sent to the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s stockholders and copies of all annual, regular, periodic and special reports and registration statements which the Company may

7


file or be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or with any securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

          8.2. Reservation of Shares. There have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the then outstanding Warrants.

          8.3. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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. The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms, and in the taking of all such action, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, free from all taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, upon the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of this current exercise price under this Warrant if the total number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (or other securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.

          8.4. Listing of Shares. If the Company shall list any shares of its Common Stock on any national securities exchange, it will take such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to list the Shares, subject to issuance, on such exchange.

          8.5. Securities Exchange Act Registration. At any time that the Company either files and such filing becomes effective, or is required to file, a registration statement with respect to Common Stock of the Company under Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act, then thereafter:

          (a) The Company will maintain effective a registration statement (containing such information and documents as the Commission shall specify and otherwise complying with the Securities Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock of the Company under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g), whichever is applicable, of the Securities Exchange Act and will file on time such information, documents and reports as the Commission may require or prescribe for companies whose stock has been registered pursuant to such Section 12(b) or Section 12(g), whichever is applicable.

          (b) The Company will, upon the request of the holder hereof or of any Shares, make whatever other filings with the Commission, or otherwise make generally available to the public such

8


financial and other information, as any such holder may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to enable such holder to be permitted to sell Shares pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor statute, rule or regulation to Rule 144).

          8.6. Delivery of Information for Rule 144A Transactions.

INTEGRAL VISION, INC.
Farmington Hills, Michigan
Dated ____________
8 Percent Convertible Note
Due _____________

          Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation, (the “Corporation”), for value received, promises to pay to _________________ or registered assigns, the sum of $ _________________ on ______________, and to pay interest at the rate of 8 percent per annum with the initial interest payment due on April 1 and thereafter semiannually on the first day of July and January of each year, computed from ________________ (the “issue date”). Payment of principal and interest shall be made at the offices of the Corporation in Farmington Hills, Michigan, in lawful money of the United States of America, and shall be mailed to the registered owner or owners hereof at the address appearing on the books of the Corporation.

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Corporation’s Class 3 Notes dated as of the Closing Date for each Purchaser, all of like tenor and maturity, except variations necessary to express the number, principal amount and payee of each Note.

          1. Equal rank. All Class 3 Notes of this issue rank equally and ratably without priority over one another.

          2. Conversion. The holder or holders of this Note may at any time prior to the maturity hereof (except that, if the Corporation has called this Note for redemption, the right to convert shall terminate at the close of business on the second business day prior to the day fixed as the date for such redemption), convert the principal amount hereof into the corporation’s common stock at the conversion ratio of $_____ of Note principal for one share of common stock. To convert this Note, the holder or holders hereof must surrender the same at the office of the Corporation, together with a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, properly completed and executed and with a written notice of conversion. No accrued interest will be payable on Notes surrendered for conversion, whether or not notice of redemption has been given by the Company.

          3. Adjustments to conversion. If the Corporation at any time pays to the holders of its common stock a dividend in common stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable

1


upon the conversion of this Note shall be proportionally increased, effective at the close of business on the record date for determination of the holders of the common stock entitled to the dividend.

          If the Corporation at any time subdivides or combines in a larger or smaller number of shares its outstanding shares of common stock, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be proportionally increased in the case of a subdivision and decreased in the case of a combination, effective in either case at the close of business on the date that the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

          If the Corporation is recapitalized, consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, or sells or conveys to any other corporation all or substantially all of its property as an entity, provision shall be made as part of the terms of the recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance so that the holder or holders of this Note may receive, in lieu of the common stock otherwise issuable to them upon conversion hereof, at the same conversion ratio, the same kind and amount of securities or assets as may be distributable upon the recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance with respect to the common stock.

          In the event the Corporation issues, after February 29, 2004, any common stock, or any Preferred Stock, Warrant or Note convertible into common stock, which has a share price, or an exercise or conversion rate, lower than the conversion rate for this Note, then the conversion rate for this Note shall be reduced to such lower rate, but in no event will the conversion rate be reduced to less than $0.25 per share. This provision will not be triggered by shares issued for existing employee stock options, for the exercise of existing Warrants.

          4. Fractional shares. In lieu of issuing any fraction of a share upon the conversion of this Note, the Corporation shall pay to the holder hereof for any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon the conversion cash equal to the same fraction of the then current per share Market Price of the common stock.

          5. Forbearance from suit. No Note holder of this issue may institute any suit or proceeding for the enforcement of the payment of principal or interest unless the holders of more than 50 percent in amount of all outstanding Notes of this issue join in the suit or proceeding.

          6. Redemption.

          (a) The Company may at its option (subject to the other provisions of this Section 6) prepay all or part of the principal amount of this Class 3 Note, at a price equal to the principal amount of the Note to be prepaid plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

          (b) The aggregate amount of each prepayment of the principal amount of affected Class 3 Notes shall be allocated among all affected Class 3 Notes, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Class 3 Notes.

2


          (c) The right of the Company to prepay Class 3 Notes pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conditioned upon its giving notice of prepayment, signed by an officer, to the holders of Class 3 Notes not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date upon which the prepayment is to be made specifying (i) the registered holder of each Class 3 Note to be prepaid, (ii) the aggregate principal amount being prepaid, (iii) the date of such prepayment (which must be a Business Day), (iv) the accrued and unpaid interest (to but not including the date upon which the prepayment is to be made) and (v) that the prepayment of Class 3 Notes is being made pursuant to this Section 6. Notice of prepayment having been so given, the aggregate principal amount of the Class 3 Notes so specified in such notice, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date, but the right to convert any or all of the affected Class 3 Notes to Common Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the second business day prior to the date of such prepayment.

          (d) The right of the Company to prepay Class 3 Notes pursuant to this Section 6 shall be further conditioned upon either of the following being met:

 

 

 

 

(i)

fourteen months shall have elapsed from the Closing Date for each Class 3 Note affected, the Common Stock of the Company shall have been trading at an average Market Price of the greater of $1 per share or 125% of the conversion price for the Class 3 Notes being called for the four months prior to the specified prepayment date and the Common Stock receivable by the Class 3 Purchasers upon conversion of their Class 3 Notes having been eligible for public market sale, whether through registration or an exemption therefrom, for at least four months prior to the specified prepayment date; or

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the common stock of the Company shall have been trading at an average Market Price of the greater of $1 per share or 200% of the conversion price for the Class 3 Notes being called for the four month prior to the specified prepayment date and the Common Stock receivable by the Class 3 Purchasers upon conversion of their Class 3 Notes having been eligible for public market sale, through registration, for at least four months prior to the specified prepayment date.

          7. Subordination. The rights of the holder or holders of this Note to receive payment of any principal hereof or interest hereon is subject and subordinate to the prior payment of the principal of and interest on all existing or future obligations of the Corporation to any Class 1 Note issued prior to April 16, 2002 (the “Senior Indebtedness”). Upon any receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Corporation, or in the event this Note is declared due and payable upon the occurrence of a default as defined in this Note, then the Corporation shall not pay any amount with respect to principal and interest on this Note unless and until the principal of, and interest on, the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding is paid in full.

3


          8. Registered owner. The Corporation may treat the person or persons whose name or names appear on this Note as the absolute owner or owners hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and interest due on this Note and for all other purposes.

          9. Release of shareholders, officers and directors. This Note is the obligation of the Corporation only, and no recourse shall be had for the payment of any principal or interest hereon against any shareholder, officer or director of the Corporation, either directly or through the Corporation, by virtue of any statute for the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise. The holder or holders of this Note, by the acceptance hereof, and as part of the consideration for this Note, release all claims and waive all liabilities against the foregoing persons in connection with this Note.

Dated ___________
8 Percent Convertible Note
Due ____________

          Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation, (the “Corporation”), for value received, promises to pay to _________________ or registered assigns, the sum of $_________________ on ______________, and to pay interest at the rate of 8 percent per annum (365 day interest table) with the initial interest payment due on January 1, 2009 and thereafter semiannually on the first day of July and January of each year, computed from ________________ (the “issue date”). Payment of principal and interest shall be made at the offices of the Corporation in Wixom, Michigan, in lawful money of the United States of America, and shall be mailed to the registered owner or owners hereof at the address appearing on the books of the Corporation.

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Corporation’s Class 3 Notes dated as of the Closing Date for each Purchaser, all of like tenor and maturity, except variations necessary to express the number, principal amount and payee of each Note.

          1. Equal rank. All Class 3 Notes of this issuer rank equally and ratably without priority over one another.

          2. Conversion. The holder or holders of this Note may at any time prior to the maturity hereof (except that, if the Corporation has called this Note for redemption, the right to convert shall terminate at the close of business on the second business day prior to the day fixed as the date for such redemption), convert the principal amount hereof into the corporation’s common stock at the conversion ratio of $_____ of Note principal for one share of common stock. To convert this Note, the holder or holders hereof must surrender the same at the office of the Corporation, together with a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, properly completed and executed and with a written notice of conversion. No accrued interest will be payable on Notes surrendered for conversion, whether or not notice of redemption has been given by the Company.

          [The following provision shall be omitted at the request of any Purchaser made to the

1


Company prior to issuance of the Class 3 Note] The holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.90% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance.

          [The following provision shall be omitted at the request of any Purchaser made to the Company prior to issuance of the Class 3 Note] The holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 9.90% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. This paragraph shall only be applicable if the Purchaser of this Note elected to omit the paragraph immediately preceding this paragraph (the paragraph referring to the holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.90% of the shares of the Company).

          For purposes of the foregoing two paragraphs, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Note beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Shares or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by holder that the Company is not representing to holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2 applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the holder) and of which a portion of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such holder’s determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such holder) and of which portion of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 2, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,

2


including this Note, by the holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 2 may be waived by the holder, at the election of the holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 2 shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

          3. Adjustments to conversion. The current conversion price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time (but not below zero), as follows:

          (a) Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Recapitalization. etc. In the event the Company shall, after the Closing Date, issue any shares of Common Stock (i) by stock dividend or any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or (ii) in subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current conversion price then in effect shall be reduced proportionately; and, in like manner, in the event of any combination of shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be increased proportionately. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

          (b) Reorganization Adjustments. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or a stock split-up), the holder of this Note shall thereafter be entitled to purchase for the current exercise price the securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which this Note entitled the holder hereof to purchase immediately prior to such capital reorganization or reclassification. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(b), the holder of this Note shall become entitled to purchase any other securities or property other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Note and the current conversion price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section 3.

          (c) Other Adjustments. Without limiting any provisions of this Section 3 or any other provisions of this Note, in case any event shall occur as to which any of the provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the exercise rights represented by the Note in accordance with the intent and principles of this Section 3, the Company shall at its expense appoint a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company), and reasonably satisfactory to the majority holders of all Class 3 Notes then outstanding, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a

3


basis consistent with the intent and principles established in this Section 3 necessary to preserve the economic and other rights represented by the Notes. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail copies thereof to the holders of the Notes and shall make the adjustments described therein.

          4. Fractional shares. In lieu of issuing any fraction of a share upon the conversion of this Note, the Corporation shall pay to the holder hereof for any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon the conversion cash equal to the same fraction of the then current per share Market Price of the common stock.

          5. Company’s Consolidation or Merger. If the Company shall at any time consolidate with or merge into another entity (where the Company is not the continuing corporation after such merger or consolidation), the holder of this Note shall thereafter (including, without limitation, the holder of a Note that is blocked from converting said Note pursuant to Section 2 hereof [“Blocked Noteholder”]) be entitled to receive, upon the conversion thereof (including, without limitation, after allowing sufficient time for the Blocked Noteholder to unblock and convert said blocked Note) in whole or in part, the securities or other property to which (and upon the same terms and with the same rights as) a holder of the number of Shares then deliverable upon the conversion thereof would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger (subject to adjustments under Section 3 hereof), and the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or merger as may be necessary to assure such holder that the provisions of the Notes and the Purchase Agreement shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note, including, but not limited to, obtaining a written acknowledgment from the continuing entity of its obligation to supply such securities or property upon such conversion and to be so bound by the Note and the Purchase Agreement. A sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. The provision in this section shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available upon the conversion of this Note as of the date of such consolidation or merger (due to a temporary waiver granted the Company by the holder of this Note).

          6. Forbearance from suit. No Note holder of this issue may institute any suit or proceeding for the enforcement of the payment of principal or interest unless the holders of more than 50 percent in amount of all outstanding Notes of this issue join in the suit or proceeding.

          7. Redemption.

          (a) The Company may at its option (subject to the other provisions of this Section 7 prepay all or part of the principal amount of this Class 3 Note, at a price equal to the principal amount of the Note to be prepaid plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

          (b) The aggregate amount of each prepayment of the principal amount of affected Class 3

4


Notes shall be allocated among all affected Class 3 Notes, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Class 3 Notes.

          (c) The right of the Company to prepay Class 3 Notes pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conditioned upon its giving notice of prepayment, signed by an officer, to the holders of Class 3 Notes not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date upon which the prepayment is to be made specifying (i) the registered holder of each Class 3 Note to be prepaid, (ii) the aggregate principal amount being prepaid, (iii) the date of such prepayment (which must be a Business Day), (iv) the accrued and unpaid interest (to but not including the date upon which the prepayment is to be made) and (v) that the prepayment of Class 3 Notes is being made pursuant to this Section 7. Notice of prepayment having been so given, the aggregate principal amount of the Class 3 Notes so specified in such notice, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date, but the right to convert any or all of the Class 3 Notes to Common Stock shall continue to, but not including, the date of such prepayment.

          (d) The right of the Company to prepay New Class 3 Notes pursuant to this Section 7 shall be further conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

 

 

 

i.

Twelve (12) months have elapsed from the Issue Date,

 

 

 

 

ii.

The Market Price for the Common Stock shall have averaged at least $0.50 per share during any period of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days prior to the date the Company gives notice to prepay said notes, and

 

 

 

 

iii.

During such twenty consecutive Trading Days (referred to in ii above), the resale of all issuable shares underlying said notes shall have been covered by an effective registration statement or such issuable shares shall have been eligible for sale to the public pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation as to the number of shares to be sold. Notwithstanding other provisions in this Agreement that require the Company to treat all New Class 3 Notes without partiality, the Company may prepay notes under this provision [7.(d) iii] where the resale of issuable shares underlying said notes shall only have been eligible for sale to the public pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation as to the number of shares to be sold provided that the Company also offers to prepay a proportional share of the balance of New Class 3 Notes then outstanding

 

 

 

 

 

The provisions of this section 7(d) shall not be applicable if the prepayment by the Company is pursuant to the sale by the Company of substantially all of its assets.

          (e)      The right of the Company to prepay Class 3 Notes (other than notes specified the Fifth Amended Agreement) pursuant to the terms in 7(d) shall be further conditioned that the Company has no Class 2 Notes outstanding at the prepayment date.

          (f)      The right of the Company to prepay Class 3 Notes outstanding that are “blocked” from being converted pursuant to Section 2 of said notes shall be subject to additional terms and

5


conditions in this section as follows:

 

 

 

If such “blocked” holder of a Class 3 Note is directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) of shares of the Company (pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act) [“Blocked Insider”] and said Blocked Insider has sold any shares of the Company within the 6 month period prior to date of such planned prepayment date as specified in the notice of prepayment given pursuant to Section 7(c) above, the Company must extend the prepayment date for such Blocked Insider to10 Business Days after six months have elapse from said Blocked Insider’s latest sale or disposition of shares of the Company prior to said Blocked Insider being given notice of such planned prepayment (this limitation shall not apply to sales of shares by the Blocked Insider after being given notice of such planned prepayment). Said Blocked Insider may waive the extra prepayment notice time and accept the prepayment. If the Blocked Insider has not waived the extra prepayment notice time, delaying prepayment to the Blocked Insider pursuant to this section shall not be considered a violation of requirements in this Agreement that the Company treat all Class 3 Note holders without partiality.

          8. Restriction. The holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon the conversion of this Note will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, will not be saleable in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration, and accordingly may be required to be held for an indefinite period of time. The holder agrees that Shares issued pursuant hereto may contain the following legend on the face thereof: “This security has not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and each holder of this security by the acceptance hereof agrees that this security shall not be transferred in violation of said Act.” The Company agrees that such legend shall be removed from any Shares which are no longer subject to such restrictions.

          Each holder of a Class 3 Convertible Note by acceptance thereof agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Notes or Shares unless such Notes or Shares have been registered under, or have been sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under, the Securities Act. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue a new Note to a transferee thereof which (x) is not a holder of a Note, the transferor must certify to the Company the facts on which the transferor is relying for such exemption or (y) is a holder of a Note, the transferor must represent to the Company in writing that the transfer is so exempt, and in either case the transferor must provide an opinion from an attorney reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the requirement for the exemption have been met.

          9. Notice to Holders of Notes.

In case at any time:

 

 

 

 

(i)

the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the

6


current exercise price pursuant to Section 3; or

 

 

 

 

(ii)

there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or any sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

ARTICLE V
SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARDS

          Section 5.01. Shares Available The only shares subject to Awards shall be the Company’s authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Shares. Upon the expiration or termination, in whole or in part, for any reason of an outstanding Award or any portion thereof that shall not have vested or shall not have been exercised in full, or upon the surrender of Shares as payment for an Award, any Shares subject to the Award that have not been acquired by the Participant or that are forfeited or surrendered by the Participant shall again become available for the granting of additional Awards.

          Section 5.02. Aggregate Share Limit. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.05 and any limitations specified elsewhere in the Plan, the maximum number of Shares cumulatively available for issuance pursuant to Awards shall not exceed the sum of the following:

          (a) 4,828,000 Shares, plus

- 5 -


          (b) any Shares covered by an Award under the Plan or option under the Prior Plan that are forfeited or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the Award or option under the Prior Plan, plus

          (c) any Shares exchanged by a Participant as full or partial payment to the Company of the Exercise Price of any Award under the Plan.

          Section 5.03. Limitation Applicable to Incentive Stock Options. The maximum number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan is 4,828,000 Shares, subject to adjustment under Section 5.05. The only limitations on the number of Shares available for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options shall be those specified in Sections 5.02 and 5.04.

          Section 5.04. Annual Limitations on Awards to Any Participant. The maximum number of Shares subject to all Awards granted in any calendar year to a Participant shall be limited to 400,000, subject to adjustment under Section 5.05.

          Section 5.05. Adjustments Upon Recapitalization or Reorganization. If the outstanding Shares are changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company through any capital reorganization or reclassification, or if the number of outstanding Shares is changed through a stock split or stock dividend, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number, kind, and/or Exercise Price with respect to Shares as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan. A corresponding adjustment shall likewise be made in the number, kind, and/or Exercise Price for Shares with respect to which there are unexercised outstanding Awards. Any such adjustment in an outstanding Award, however, shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Award but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each Share covered by the Award. In making such adjustments, or in determining that no such adjustments are necessary, the Committee may rely upon the advice of counsel and accountants to the Company, and the good faith determination of the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding. No fractional Shares shall be issued or issuable under the Plan on account of any such adjustment. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section, if it would cause an Award to become subject to Code Section 409A or would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be such.

ARTICLE VI

The Committee may grant Non-Qualified Stock Options to any Employee, Director, or Advisor, and it may grant Incentive Stock Options to any Employee, in each case, as it deems appropriate.

Each Option shall consist of a right to purchase a specified number of Shares during a specified period and at a specified Exercise Price, all as determined by the Committee. In addition to the terms, conditions, vesting periods, and restrictions

- 6 -


established by the Committee in the Agreement, each Incentive Stock Option must comply with the requirements of Code Section 422 and Section 6.03.

          Section 6.02. Terms and Conditions of Options; Agreements. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant, which shall contain such terms and be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve, subject to the following limitations and conditions:

          (a) Grant and Notice of Option. The date of an Option grant shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Committee or its designee makes the determination granting such Option, unless the Committee designates a specific future Grant Date at such time. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Participant to whom an Option is granted within a reasonable time after the Grant Date. The grant of an Option shall not obligate the Participant to exercise it.

          (b) Number of Shares. The Agreement shall state the number of Shares with respect to which each Option is granted and whether the Option is a Non-Qualified Stock Option or Incentive Stock Option.

          (c) Exercise Price. The Agreement shall state the per Share Exercise Price for the Shares subject to the Option. The per Share Exercise Price under an Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. For Incentive Stock Options, the per Share Exercise Price shall satisfy the requirements of Section 6.03 and the provisions of the Code applicable to incentive stock options.

          (d) Exercise and Payment of Exercise Price. A Participant may exercise a vested Option by (i) giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment of the full Exercise Price therefor in cash, by check, or in such other form of lawful consideration as the Committee may approve, including without limitation and in the sole discretion of the Committee, the transfer by the Participant to the Company of outstanding Shares held by the Participant in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3, if applicable, and (ii) satisfying any other requirements set forth herein (including, without limitation, the tax withholding requirements of Article IX) or in the applicable Agreement.

The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of certificates representing Shares until (i) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which Shares are then listed and (ii) the completion of such registration or other qualification of Shares under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable, which registration or other qualification the Company shall use its best efforts to complete; provided, however, a person purchasing or otherwise receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan has no right to require the Company to register the Shares under federal or state securities laws at any time. Any person purchasing or otherwise receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan may be required to make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the existence or non-existence with respect to such Shares of an effective registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar state statute, to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of those or any comparable acts.

          Section 6.03. Additional Limitations Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.

          (a) General. The limitations and conditions of this Section, in addition to the terms and conditions otherwise specified by the Plan and the Agreement, shall apply to all Incentive Stock Options.

          (b) Price. The per Share Exercise Price under an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who is a 10% shareholder, the per Share Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

          (c) Exercise Period. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to other terms and provisions of the Agreement or the Plan, the term of each Incentive Stock Option shall expire within the period prescribed in the Agreement relating thereto, which shall not be more than five years from the Grant Date, if the Participant is a 10% shareholder (as defined in Code Section 422(b)(6)), and not more than ten years from the Grant Date, if the Participant is not a 10% shareholder (as defined in Code Section 422(b)(6)). An Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if it is exercisable by the Participant more than (i) three months after his termination of employment (ii), if the Participant is disabled (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3)), 12 months after his termination of employment.

          (d) Maximum Exercise Rule. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year under this Plan and any other incentive stock option plan (within the meaning of Code Section 422) of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company shall not exceed $100,000.

          (e) Other Restrictions. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company (or a Subsidiary) that satisfy the other eligibility requirements of the Code. There shall be imposed in any Agreement relating to Incentive Stock Options such other terms and conditions as from time to time are required for the Option be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Code Section 422.

          Section 6.04. Termination of Options.

          (a) Each Option granted under the Plan shall set forth a termination date, which shall be not later than ten years from the Grant Date, subject to earlier termination as set forth in this Plan or the Agreement.

          (b) The Committee shall establish the effect of a Separation from Service on the rights and benefits under each Option and in so doing may make distinctions based upon, among other factors, the cause of Separation from Service. Following Separation from Service, an Option may be exercised only in accordance with the applicable Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee, only with respect to that number of Shares for which the Option could have been exercised by the Participant on the date of Severance from Service.

          (c) The Committee may cancel any unexpired Options at any time, if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan or with any Agreement, or if the Participant, whether or not he is currently employed by an Employer, engages in any of the following activities without the prior written consent of the Employer:

 

 

 

      (1) directly or indirectly renders services to or for an organization, or engages in a business, that is, in the judgment of the Committee, in competition with the Employer; or

 

 

 

      (2) discloses to anyone outside of the Employer, or uses for any purpose other than the Employer’s business, any confidential or proprietary information or material relating to the Employer, whether acquired by the Participant during or after employment with the Employer.

The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an Option, require a Participant to acknowledge in writing that he is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan and of any Agreement and has not engaged in any activities referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above.

          (d) Subject to Section 6.06, (i) upon the dissolution, liquidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the business, properties, and assets of the Company, (ii) upon any reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, or exchange of securities in which the Company does not survive, (iii) upon any sale, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or exchange of securities in which the Company does survive and any of the Company’s shareholders have the opportunity to receive cash, securities of another corporation, partnership, or limited liability company and/or other property in exchange for their capital stock of the Company, or (iv) upon any acquisition by any person or group (as defined in Section 13d of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the then outstanding Shares (each of the events described in clauses (i), (ii),

- 9 -


(iii) or (iv) is referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Event”), the Plan and each outstanding Option shall terminate, subject to any provision that has been made by the Committee through a plan of reorganization or otherwise for the substitution, assumption, settlement, or other continuation of the Options. If Options are to terminate (with no substitution, assumption, settlement, or other continuation) in such circumstances, each Participant shall have the right, by giving notice at least ten days before the effective date of the Extraordinary Event (“Effective Date”), to exercise on or before the Effective Date, in whole or in part, any unexpired Option issued to the Participant, to the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable as of the Effective Date.

          Section 6.05. Rights as a Shareholder. Unless otherwise provided by the Board or the Committee, a Participant shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Option, including voting rights or rights to dividends, only upon the date of issuance of a certificate to him and, if payment is required, only after payment if full has been made for such Shares.

          Section 6.06. Acceleration of Options.

          (a) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article or any provision to the contrary contained in a particular Agreement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of all or any portion of any Option then outstanding. The decision by the Committee to accelerate an Option or to decline to accelerate an Option shall be final. In the event of the acceleration of the exercisability of Option as the result of a decision by the Committee pursuant to this Section, each outstanding Option so accelerated shall be exercisable for a period from and after the date of such acceleration and upon such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, provided that such terms and conditions (other than terms and conditions relating solely to the acceleration of exercisability and the related termination of an Option) may not materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the consent of that Participant. Any outstanding Option that has not been exercised by the holder at the end of such period shall terminate automatically at that time.

          (b) If the vesting of an Option has been accelerated in anticipation of an event, and the Committee or the Board later determines that the event will not occur, the Committee may rescind the effect of the acceleration as to any then outstanding and unexercised or otherwise unvested Options.

          Section 6.07. Substitute Options. If the Company at any time should succeed to the business of another entity through a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization or exchange, or through the acquisition of stock or assets of such entity or its subsidiaries or otherwise, the Committee may grant Options under the Plan to option holders of such entity or its subsidiaries, in substitution for options to purchase shares in such entity held by them at the time of succession. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine the extent to which such substitute Options shall be granted (if at all), the person or persons to receive such substitute Options (who need not be all option holders of such entity), the number of Options to be received by each such person, the exercise price of such Option, and the other terms and conditions of such substitute Options.

          Section 7.03. Restrictions on Transferability. Except as provided in herein, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be assigned, transferred, or pledged, whether by operation of law and whether voluntarily or involuntarily, until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

          Section 7.04. Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate in accordance with this Article. Such restrictions may be based upon any one or more of the following criteria: (i) the achievement of specific performance targets, (ii) vesting based on period of service with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) applicable federal or state securities laws, or (iv) any other basis determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

          Section 7.05. Legend on Certificates. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the placement of a legend on certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions. For example, the Committee may determine that some or all certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend:

 

 

 

 

THE SALE, PLEDGE, OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, WHETHER VOLUNTARY, INVOLUNTARY, OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND UNDER THE INTREGRAL VISION, INC. 2008 EQUTY INCENTIVE PLAN, AS SET FORTH IN AN AWARD AGREEMENT EXECUTED THEREUNDER. A COPY OF SUCH PLAN AND SUCH AWARD AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CORPORATE SECRETARY OF INTEGRAL VISION, INC.

 

          Section 7.06. Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, as soon as practicable after the applicable Period of Restriction lapses, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by an Award shall be subject to release to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award.

- 11 -


          Section 7.07. Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise.

On the date set forth in the applicable Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed by the last day of the Period of Restriction shall revert to the Company and thereafter shall be available for the grant of new Awards.

          Section 7.09. Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or determined by the Committee, if a Participant Terminates Service during the Period of Restriction, Shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant and thereafter shall be available for the grant of new Awards; provided, however, that the Committee shall have the sole discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions with respect to any or all of such Participant’s Shares of Restricted Stock.

          Section 7.10. Issuance of Shares and Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of certificates representing Shares until (i) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which Shares are then listed and (ii) the completion of such registration or other qualification of Shares under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable, which registration or other qualification the Company shall use its best efforts to complete; provided, however, a person purchasing or otherwise receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan has no right to require the Company to register the Shares under federal or state securities laws at any time. Any person purchasing or otherwise receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan may be required to make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the existence or non-existence with respect to such Shares of an effective registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar state statute, to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of those or any comparable acts.

ARTICLE VIII
SHARE GRANTS

          Subject to the provisions of the Plan, including Article V and this Section, the Committee may make an Award of Shares to any Employee, Director, or Advisor in such amount as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine.

ARTICLE IX
WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

          The Company (or a Subsidiary) may deduct and withhold from the wages, salary, bonus, and other income paid by the Company (or Subsidiary) to the Participant the requisite tax upon the amount of taxable income, if any, recognized by the Participant in connection with the

- 12 -


exercise in whole or in part of any Option, lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, grant of Shares, or sale of Shares issued to the Participant upon the exercise of an Option, as may be required from time to time under any federal or state tax laws and regulations. This withholding of tax shall be made from the Company’s (or Subsidiary’s) concurrent or next payment of wages, salary, bonus, or other income to the Participant or by payment to the Company by the Participant of the required withholding tax, as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that, in the sole discretion of the Committee, the Participant may pay such tax by reducing the number of Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, lapse of restrictions, or award of Shares (for which purpose such Shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value at such time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates representing the Shares to be acquired through the exercise of an Option or grant of an Award, if the Participant fails to provide the Company with adequate assurance that the Participant will pay such amounts to the Company as required herein. Participants shall notify the Company in writing of any amounts included as income in the Participants’ federal income tax returns in connection with an Award. Any Shares or cash withheld by the Company to satisfy a Participant’s withholding tax obligation in connection with an Award shall not exceed the number of Shares or amount of cash necessary to satisfy the minimum required levels of withholding under applicable law.

The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan, and the offer, issuance, and delivery of the Shares to Awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities laws and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory, or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. A person acquiring any securities under the Plan shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements.

          Section 10.02. Compliance with Securities Laws. No Participant shall sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer Shares acquired pursuant to an Award or any interest in such Shares except in accordance with the express terms of the Plan and the applicable Agreement. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section shall be void and of no effect. Without in any way limiting the provisions set forth above, no Participant shall make any disposition of all or any portion of Shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to an Award, except in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company has no obligation to register the Shares or file any registration statement under either federal or state securities laws.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Committee member with regard to the settlement of any action, suit, or proceeding to which the Company did not give its prior written consent.

ARTICLE XIV
NOT AN EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING AGREEMENT

          Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Agreement shall confer, intend to confer, or imply any right of employment or right to continued employment by, or rights to a continued relationship with, the Company (or any affiliate) in favor of any Participant or limit the ability of the Company (or any affiliate) to terminate, with or without cause, in its sole and absolute discretion, the employment or other relationship between the Company and the Participant, subject to the terms of any written agreement between the Company and the Participant.

The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Company’s capital stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

          Section 15.03. No Fiduciary Duties. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person.

INTEGRAL VISION, INC.
CODE OF ETHICS

Integral Vision, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Code of Ethics (this “Code”). The CEO and all senior financial officers, including the CFO and principal accounting officer or controller, are expected to abide by this Code and the provisions set forth herein relating to ethical conduct, conflicts of interest and compliance with law, as well as all business conduct standards and policies relating to areas covered by this Code which may be adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) from time to time.

The CEO, CFO and other senior financial officers have a special role both to adhere to the principles of integrity and also to ensure that a culture exists throughout the Company as a whole that ensures the fair and timely reporting of the Company’s financial results and conditions. Because of this special role, the CEO, CFO, and all senior financial officers each agrees that he/she will:

 

 

-

Act with honesty and integrity, and avoid conflicts of interest in his or her personal and professional relationships that may conflict with the interests of the Company or make it difficult to perform his or her Company-related work objectively and effectively; provided, however, that certain actual or apparent conflicts of interest shall be permissible if the contract, transaction, relationship or interest is disclosed or made known to the Board or the shareholders of the Company prior to such event, which in good faith authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract, transaction, relationship or interest in accordance with the bylaws of the Company.

 

 

-

Provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, government agencies and in other public communications. Seek to involve the audit committee of the Company and/or external auditors to resolve ambiguity in terms of determining applications of accounting principles and/or reviewing significant accounting estimates.

 

 

-

Establish and maintain internal controls and procedures and disclose controls and procedures designed to assure that financial information is recorded, processed and transmitted to those responsible for preparing periodic reports and other public communications containing financial information so that they are complete, accurate and timely. Oversee the appropriate personnel to help ensure that the internal controls and procedures and disclosure controls and procedures are being followed. Consult with independent auditors and legal counsel from time to time regarding new regulatory pronouncements that may require additional controls and establish such additional controls as may be appropriate.

 

 

-

Respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of his or her work. Disclosure of confidential information to those outside of the Company is not permitted, except when authorized by the Board or otherwise legally obligated to disclose as advised by legal counsel. Confidential information acquired in the course of his or her work will not be used for personal advantage.

 

 

-

Comply with the rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.

 

 

-

Be responsible for abiding by this Code. Promptly bring to the attention of the audit committee and company counsel any information he or she may have concerning evidence of a material violation of the securities or other laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Company and the operation of its business or of a violation of this Code.

The Board shall determine, or designate appropriate persons to determine appropriate actions to be taken in the event of violations of this Code by the CEO and the Company’s senior financial officers. Such actions shall be


reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote accountability for adherence to the Code, and may include written notices to the individual involved that the Board has determined that there has been a violation, censure by the Board, demotion or re-assignment of the individual involved, suspension with or without pay or benefits, and termination of the individual’s employment. In determining what action is appropriate in a particular case, the Board or its designee will take into account all relevant information, including the nature and severity of the violation, whether the violation was a single occurrence or repeated occurrences, whether the violation appears to have been intentional or inadvertent, whether the individual involved had been advised prior to the violation as to the proper course of action, and whether or not the individual in question had committed other violations in the past.

It is the Company’s intention that this Code be its written code of ethics under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 complying with the standards set forth in Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-B Item 406.
