Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(a) to the contrary, by making the representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. b. Accredited Investor Status. Purchaser is an "Accredited Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. c. Reliance on Exemptions.

Information. Purchaser has been furnished all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been specifically requested by Purchaser. Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and have received what Purchaser believes to be satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its representatives shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Purchaser understands that Purchaser's investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. e. Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. f. Transfer or Resale. Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be transferred unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel -3- in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred under an exemption from such registration, or (c) sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule 144"), or (d) sold or transferred to an affiliate of Purchaser who is an Accredited Investor; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement). g.

The securities represented hereby may not be offered or sold in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under applicable securities laws unless offered, sold or transferred under an available exemption from the registration requirements of those laws. The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder), or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Security can be sold under Rule 144. Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the above legend is removed from any Security and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser the Company may require that the above legend be placed on any such Security and Purchaser shall cooperate in the prompt replacement of such legend. h.

SEC Documents, Financial Statements. Since December 31, 1995, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and after December 31, 1995, and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the "SEC Documents"). The Company has delivered to the Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for the exhibits and schedules thereto and the documents incorporated therein. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they -7- were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended under applicable law nor are any such amendments presently contemplated. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to immaterial year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which liabilities and obligations referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), individually or in the aggregate, if reflected in such financial statements, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. h. Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 1997, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company, except as disclosed in Schedule 3(h) or in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof. i. Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body including, without limitation, the SEC or NASDAQ, pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors or officers in their capacities as such which will have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no facts which, if known by a potential claimant or governmental authority, could give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if asserted or conducted with results unfavorable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, could have a Material Adverse Effect. j. Intellectual Property. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns or is licensed to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks, copyrights, copyright applications, licenses, permits, inventions, discoveries, processes, scientific, technical, engineering and marketing data, object and source codes, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures) and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge (collectively, "Intangibles") necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted. To the best knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company infringes or is in conflict with any right of any other person with respect to any Intangibles which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable -8- decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received written notice of any pending conflict with or infringement upon such third party Intangibles. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into any consent, indemnification, forbearance to sue or settlement agreements with respect to the validity of the Company's or its subsidiaries' ownership or right to use its Intangibles and, to the best knowledge of the Company, there is no reasonable basis for any such claim to be successful. The Intangibles are valid and enforceable and no registration relating thereto has lapsed, expired or been abandoned or canceled or is the subject of cancellation or other adversarial proceedings, and all applications therefor are pending and in good standing. The Company and its subsidiaries have complied, in all material respects, with their respective contractual obligations relating to the protection of the Intangibles used pursuant to licenses. To the best knowledge of the Company, no person is infringing on or violating the Intangibles owned or used by the Company of its subsidiaries. k. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee. l. Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning the Company set forth in this Agreement or provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof and otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which has not been publicly disclosed but, under applicable law, rule or regulation, would be required to be disclosed by the Company in a registration statement filed on the date hereof by the Company under the Securities Act with respect to a primary issuance of the Company's securities. m. Acknowledgment Regarding the Purchaser's Purchase of the Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the relationship between the Company and the Purchaser is "arms length" and that any statement made by the Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a -9- recommendation and is merely incidental to the Purchaser's purchase of Securities and has not been relied upon by the Company, its officers or directors in any way. The Company further represents to the Purchaser that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on an independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives. n. Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is currently eligible to register the resale of its Common Stock on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act. There exist no facts or circumstances that would prohibit or delay the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). o. No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person participating on the Company's behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby has conducted any "general solicitation," as such term is defined in Regulation D, with respect to any of the Securities being offered hereby. p. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered hereby under the Securities Act or cause this offering of Securities to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, Rule 4460(i) of the NASD or any similar rule. q. No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar payments by the Purchaser relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. r. Acknowledgment Regarding Securities. The Company's executive officers have studied and fully understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereunder. The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debentures in accordance with the terms of the Debentures is absolute and unconditional, regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders. Taking the foregoing into account, the Company's Board of Directors has determined in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants hereunder and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. s. Tax Status. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof or on Schedule 3(s), the Company and each of its subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and local income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its subsidiaries has -10- set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

COVENANTS. a. Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts timely to satisfy each of the conditions described in Section 6 and Section 7 of this Agreement. b. Form D; Blue Sky Laws; Current Report. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on -12- or before the First Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States or obtain exemption therefrom, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchaser on or prior to the First Closing Date. Within two trading days after the First Closing Date, the Company agrees to file a Form 8-K concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which Form 8-K shall attach this Agreement and its Exhibits as exhibits to such Form 8-K. c. Reporting Status. So long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. d. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Debentures and the Warrants as set forth on Schedule 4(d). e. Additional Equity Capital; Right of First Offer. (i) The Company agrees that during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date which is 90 days following the First Closing Date (the "Initial Lock-Up Period"), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser or Purchaser's agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, contract with any party to obtain additional financing in which any equity or equity-linked securities are issued (including any debt financing with an equity component) ("Future Offerings"). In addition, the Company agrees that during the period beginning upon the termination of the Initial Lock-Up Period and ending on the date which is 180 days following the First Closing Date (the "Subsequent Lock-up Period" and, together with the Initial Lock-Up Period, the "Lock-Up Period"), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conduct any Future Offering having common stock registration rights and/or public resale rights effective within 270 days after the First Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may conduct a Future Offering during the Subsequent Lock-Up Period in which the Future Offering has common stock registration rights and/or public resale rights effective after 270 days after the First Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4(e)(i) to the contrary, at any time during the Subsequent Lock-Up Period, the Company may conduct a Future Offering (subject to the Purchaser's rights set forth in Section 4(e)(ii) below) consisting solely of (A) Common Stock or (B) Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common Stock (the "Future Offering Warrants"), so long as (x) the shares of Common Stock are sold for a price per share which is not less than 90% of the Closing Bid Price (as defined in the Debentures) (and not subject to any future adjustments or resets) of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the day of such sale, (y) the Future Offering Warrants cannot be exercised for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 20% (and not subject to any future adjustments or resets) of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Future Offering, and (z) the exercise price of the Future Offering Warrants -13- is not less than the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the day of such sale (and not subject to any future adjustments or resets). (ii) The Company will not conduct any Future Offering during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending 180 days following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, unless it shall have first delivered to the Purchaser, at least ten (10) business days prior to the closing of such Future Offering, written notice describing the proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof, and providing the Purchaser an option during the ten (10) business day period following delivery of such notice to purchase all of the securities being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence and in Section 4(e)(i) are collectively referred to as the "Capital Raising Limitations"). The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to any transaction involving issuances of securities as consideration in a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or as consideration for the acquisition of a business, product or license by the Company. The Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to (i) the issuance of securities pursuant to an underwritten public offering, (ii) the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or (iii) the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any duly authorized Company stock option or restricted stock plan for the benefit of the Company's employees or directors. f. Expenses. The Company shall pay to the Purchaser or its agent at the First Closing, reimbursement for the expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser and its affiliates and advisors in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith, including, without limitation, Purchaser's and its affiliates' and advisors' reasonable due diligence and attorneys' fees and expenses (the "Expenses"). In addition, from time to time thereafter, upon the Purchaser's written request, the Company shall pay to Purchaser such additional Expenses, if any, not covered by such payment, in each case to the extent reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or its affiliates or agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse the Purchaser for more than $50,000 (of which $25,000 was paid prior to the date hereof) pursuant to this Section 4(f). g. Financial Information. The Company agrees to send the following reports to the Purchaser until the Purchaser transfers, assigns or sells all of its Securities: (i) within ten (10) days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, its proxy statements and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; and (ii) within one (1) day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. -14- h. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion of the Debentures and issuance of the Conversion Shares in connection therewith and the full exercise of the Warrants and the issuance of the Warrant Shares in connection therewith and as otherwise required by the Debentures and the Warrants. In that regard, a "sufficient number of shares" with respect to the Debentures shall be deemed to be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance by the Company pursuant to Article IV of the Debentures, including, without limitation, any increase in the number of shares so reserved that may be required in certain circumstances pursuant to such Article. The Company shall not reduce the number of shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and the full exercise of the Warrants (except as a result of any such conversion or exercise) without the written consent of the Purchaser. i. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the NASD and such exchanges, as applicable. In the event the Common Stock is not eligible to be traded on any of the NASDAQ, NYSE or AMEX and the Common Stock is not eligible for listing on any such exchange or system, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Common Stock to be eligible for trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board at the earliest practicable date and remain eligible for trading while any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are outstanding. The Company shall promptly provide to the holders of the Debentures copies of any notices it receives regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for trading in the over-the-counter market or, if applicable, any securities exchange (including the NASDAQ) on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or quoted, if any. j. Corporate Existence. Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any Securities, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence. The Company may merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets, provided that the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the Debentures and the Warrants (except as otherwise provided therein) and the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith regardless of whether or not the Company would have had a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance in order -15- to effect the conversion of all Debentures and the exercise in full of all Warrants outstanding as of the date of such transaction and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ, NYSE or AMEX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will not engage in any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets at any time prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement without (A) providing the Purchaser with written notice of such transaction at least sixty (60) days prior to the consummation of the transaction and (B) obtaining the written consent of the Purchaser on or before the 10th day after the delivery of such notice by the Company. k. No Integrated Offerings. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the Securities Act or cause this offering of Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for purposes of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities. l. Redemptions and Dividends. So long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any Debentures, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the written approval of the Purchaser, repurchase, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Company. m. Purchaser Trading Restriction. The Purchaser agrees not to sell, on any given trading day, a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company in excess of the greater of (i) twenty percent (20%) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock traded on such trading day on the principal market or exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded on such day as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or other reputable financial reporting service ("Common Stock Volume"), or (ii) twenty percent (20%) multiplied by the average daily Common Stock Volume over the immediately preceding thirty (30) consecutive trading days. n. Best Efforts to Prevent Impairment. To protect the interests of the Purchaser as a holder of Debentures and Warrants, the Company shall use its best efforts (i) to prevent the occurrence of an event of default under the Rare Medium Notes and (ii) to satisfy and cause its subsidiary to satisfy their obligations under the Rare Medium Notes and the guaranty, security agreement and pledge agreement entered into in connection therewith (the "Security Agreements"). In addition, the Company (i) shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, permit any additional assets hereafter acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of another company to become collateral under or otherwise become subject to the terms of the Security Agreements and (ii) shall seek to terminate the Security Agreements or otherwise obtain from the holders of the Rare Medium Notes the release of all collateral securing such Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence is not intended to prevent the Company from conducting its consolidated operations and otherwise utilizing its consolidated assets in an efficient manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a default under the Rare Medium Notes or the Security Agreements, the Company shall use its best efforts -16- to negotiate with the holders of the Rare Medium Notes to prevent such holders from exercising their rights to seize the assets or capital stock of the Company's subsidiary, Rare Medium Inc. o. Key Man Life Insurance. As soon as practicable following the First Closing, but in any event within 30 days after the First Closing, the Company shall obtain key man life insurance in respect of Glenn S. Meyers, the benefit amount of which shall be an amount which is customary for the chairman and chief executive officer of a company of a comparable size and in the same line of business as the Company. p. Reservation of Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Debentures or the Warrant to the contrary, in the event that the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock to consummate a strategic transaction with the entity referred to in clause (v) of Article VIII.H(vii) of the Debenture, then the Holder shall reasonably negotiate in good faith with the Company as to a temporary reduction in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants. 5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. a. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants, as applicable. To the extent and during the periods provided in Section 2(f) and Section 2(g) of this Agreement, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. b. The Company warrants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof in the case of the transfer of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or without an exemption therefrom, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Purchaser's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities law. c. If the Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration, or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities may be sold under Rule 144 or such Securities may be sold -17- pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser. 6.

CONVERTIBLE TERM DEBENTURE Date:______________ $__________ FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ICC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Borrower" or the "Corporation") hereby promises to pay to the order of ___________________________________ or registered assigns (individually, the "Holder," and collectively with the holders of all other debentures of same like and tenor, the "Holders") the sum of _____________________ Dollars ($________) on the four year anniversary of the date hereof (the "Scheduled Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date hereof (the "Issue Date") until the same becomes due and payable (which interest shall accrue on a daily basis), whether at maturity or upon prepayment, repayment or otherwise. Any amount of principal of or interest on this Debenture which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid.

All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall have given or shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Debenture. This Debenture is being issued by the Borrower along with similar convertible term debentures (the "Other Debentures" and, together with this Debenture, the "Debentures") pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Borrower and the other signatory thereto (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). ARTICLE I PREPAYMENT A. Mandatory Prepayment. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), this Debenture shall be prepaid by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Article VII hereof. Except as provided in Paragraph B of this Article I, this Debenture may not be prepaid at the option of Borrower without the prior written consent of the Holder. B. Prepayment at Borrower's Option. (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, beginning on the tenth (10th) trading day of each ten (10) consecutive trading day period (if any) during which the Closing Bid Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock on each such trading day are less than the Floor Price (as defined below) and provided the Borrower is not in material violation of any of its obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, then the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the procedures set forth below, to prepay ("Prepayment at Borrower's Election") all or any portion in excess of $500,000 of the then outstanding Debentures (other than Debentures which are the subject of a Notice of Conversion delivered prior to the delivery date of the Optional Prepayment Notice (as defined below)) for an amount of cash equal to the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below). The Borrower, in its sole discretion, may exercise its right to effect a Prepayment at Borrower's Election not more than one time during each Prepayment Window Period (as defined below).

Any optional prepayment pursuant to this Paragraph B shall be made ratably among the Holders of Debentures in proportion to the principal amount of Debentures then outstanding. Holders of Debentures may convert all or any part of their Debentures selected for prepayment hereunder into Common Stock pursuant to Article III hereof by delivering a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower at any time prior to the Effective Date of Prepayment as defined in subparagraph (iii). The "Optional Prepayment Amount" with respect to each Debenture means 120% multiplied by the sum of the 2 principal amount of such Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest and Conversion Default Payments (if any) thereon through the date of prepayment. In addition, upon receipt of an Optional Prepayment Notice, the Holder shall be entitled to certain rights as set forth in Section 11(b) of the Warrants (as defined in Article III.C(ii) hereof). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall have no right to effect a Prepayment at Borrower's Election after the third (3rd) Prepayment Window Period shall have terminated. (ii) The Borrower may not deliver an Optional Prepayment Notice to a holder of Debentures unless on or prior to the date of delivery of such Optional Prepayment Notice, the Borrower shall have deposited with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company or another escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, as a trust fund, cash sufficient in amount to pay all amounts to which the holders of Debentures are entitled upon such prepayment pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this Paragraph B, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such transfer agent or escrow agent to complete the prepayment thereof in accordance with this Paragraph B. Any Optional Prepayment Notice delivered in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a statement executed by a duly authorized officer of its transfer agent or escrow agent, certifying the amount of funds which have been deposited with such transfer agent or escrow agent and that the transfer agent or escrow agent has been instructed and agrees to act as prepayment agent hereunder. (iii) The Borrower shall effect each prepayment under this Article I.B by giving at least five (5) business days but not more than ten (10) business days prior written notice (the "Optional Prepayment Notice") of (a) the date (but such date shall in no event be later than five (5) days after the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice) on which such prepayment is to become effective (the "Effective Date of Prepayment"), (b) the Debentures selected for prepayment and (c) the Optional Prepayment Amount to (i) the Holders of Debentures selected for prepayment at the address and facsimile number of such Holders, appearing in the Borrower's register for the Debentures and (ii) the transfer agent for the Common Stock, which Optional Prepayment Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered on the business day after the Borrower's fax (with a copy sent by overnight courier to the Holders of Debentures) of such notice to the Holders of Debentures. (iv) The Optional Prepayment Amount shall be paid to the Holder of the Debentures being prepaid on or before the date which is three (3) business days after the Effective Date of Prepayment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver any portion of the Optional Prepayment Amount until either the Debentures being prepaid are delivered to the office of the Borrower or the transfer agent, or the Holder notifies the Borrower or the transfer agent that such Debentures have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation in accordance with Article X.H hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Debentures being prepaid are not delivered to the Borrower or the transfer agent prior to the 3rd business day following the Effective Date of Prepayment, the prepayment of the Debentures pursuant to this Article I.B shall still be deemed effective as of the Effective Date of Prepayment and the Optional Prepayment Amount shall be 3 paid to the Holder of Debentures being prepaid within five (5) business days of the date the Debentures are actually delivered to the Borrower or the transfer agent.

If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security as of either of such dates on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to the Majority Holders, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Corporation. B.

Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a Holder shall: (x) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation or the transfer agent for the Common Stock and (y) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Debenture, duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation or the transfer agent.

The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless either this Debenture is delivered to the Corporation or the transfer agent as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Corporation or the transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Corporation required by Article IX.H hereof. (i) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of this Debenture accompanied by a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall, no later than the later of (a) the second business day following the Conversion Date and (b) the business day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Article IX.H) (the "Delivery Period"), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Debenture being converted and (y) a new Debenture in the form hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not being converted, if any. If the Corporation's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DTC 6 Transfer"). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, a Holder may instruct the Corporation to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer. (ii) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes which may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture. (iii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of this Debenture would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures shall be the next higher whole number of shares. (iv) Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion, the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in accordance with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent outside accountant via facsimile within two business days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the Corporation's sole expense, shall audit the calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holder of the results no later than two business days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph (i) above. (v) In the event that the Conversion Price in respect of any conversion is equal to the Floor Price, then the Holder shall be entitled to the rights set forth in Section 11(c) of the Warrants. C. No Five Percent Holders. In no event shall a Holder of the Debentures be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon a conversion to the extent that the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (exclusive of shares issuable upon conversion of the unconverted portion of the Debentures or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the warrants (the "Warrants") issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures with respect to which the determination of this subparagraph is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this subparagraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13 D-G thereunder, except as otherwise 7 provided in clause (x) above. Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, the restriction contained in this subparagraph (ii) shall not be altered, amended, deleted or changed in any manner whatsoever unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures shall approve such alteration, amendment, deletion or change. ARTICLE IV RESERVATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK A. Reserved Amount. On January 28, 1999, the Corporation shall reserve 3,180,723 shares of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and thereafter the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock so reserved (the "Reserved Amount") shall not be decreased and shall at all times be sufficient to provide for the conversion of the Debentures at the then current Conversion Price thereof, taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Article VIII hereof, and to provide for any shares of Common Stock issued or then issuable as a result of a Conversion Default hereunder, the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or any other payment convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof or the Registration Rights Agreement. The Reserved Amount shall be allocated to the Holders of the Debentures as provided in Article IX.D. B. Increases to Reserved Amount. If the Reserved Amount for any trading day (such trading day being the "Authorization Trigger Date") shall be less than 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, the Corporation shall immediately notify the Holders of the Debentures of such occurrence and shall take immediate action (including, if necessary, seeking shareholder approval to authorize the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock) to increase the Reserved Amount to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the Debentures. In the event the Corporation fails to so increase the Reserved Amount within, in the event shareholder approval is required, ninety (90) days, or, in the event only approval of the corporation's Board of Directors is required, five (5) days after an Authorization Trigger Date, each Holder of the Debentures shall thereafter have the option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by delivery of a Default Notice (as defined in Article VII.C) to the Corporation, to require the Corporation to prepay for cash, at the Default Amount (as defined in Article VII.B), the Holder's Debentures (plus accrued interest thereon). If the Corporation fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days after its receipt of such Default Notice, then such Holder shall be entitled to the remedies provided in Article VII.C. C. Adjustment to Conversion Price. If the Corporation is prohibited, at any time, from issuing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debentures to any Holder because the Corporation does not then have available a sufficient number of authorized and reserved 8 shares of Common Stock, then the Fixed Conversion Price in respect of any Debentures held by any Holder (including Debentures submitted to the Corporation for conversion, but for which shares of Common Stock have not been issued to any such Holder) shall be adjusted as provided in Article V.A. ARTICLE V FAILURE TO SATISFY CONVERSIONS A. Conversion Defaults; Adjustments to Conversion Price. The following shall constitute a "Conversion Default": (i) following the submission by a Holder of a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver, on or prior to the fourth business day following the expiration of the Delivery Period for such conversion, such number of freely tradeable shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion or (ii) the Corporation provides notice to any Holder at any time of its intention not to issue freely tradeable shares of Common Stock upon exercise by any Holder of its conversion rights in accordance with the terms of the Debentures. In the case of any Conversion Default, the Floor Price shall automatically and permanently be reset to $.01 and not be subject to any further adjustment pursuant to Article VIII hereof or otherwise. In addition in the case of a Conversion Default described in clause (i) above, the Fixed Conversion Price in respect of any Debentures held by such Holder (including Debentures submitted to the Corporation for conversion, but for which shares of Common Stock have not been issued to such Holder) shall thereafter be the lesser of (x) the Fixed Conversion Price on the date of the Conversion Default and (y) the lowest Variable Conversion Price in effect during the period beginning on, and including, such date through and including (A) in the case of a Conversion Default referred to in clause (i) above, the earlier of (1) the day such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Holder and (2) the day on which the Holder regains its rights as a Holder of the Debentures with respect to such unconverted Debentures pursuant to the provisions of Article IX.L hereof. In the case of a Conversion Default described in clause (ii) above, the Fixed Conversion Price with respect to any conversion thereafter shall be the lowest Conversion Price (without reference to or limitation by any Floor Price) in effect at any time during the period beginning on, and including, the date of the occurrence of such Conversion Default through and including the Default Cure Date (as hereinafter defined). Following any adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price pursuant to this Article V.A, the Fixed Conversion Price shall thereafter be subject to further adjustment for any events described in Article VIII. Upon the occurrence of each reset of the Fixed Conversion Price pursuant to this Paragraph A, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute the new Fixed Conversion Price and prepare and furnish to each Holder of the Debentures a certificate setting forth such new Fixed Conversion Price and showing in detail each Conversion Price in effect during such reset period. "Default Cure Date" means (i) with respect to a Conversion Default described in clause (i) of its definition, the date the Corporation effects the conversion of all of the outstanding Debentures, and (ii) with respect to a Conversion Default described in clause (ii) of its definition, 9 the date the Corporation issues freely tradeable shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of all conversions of the Debentures in accordance with Article III.A, and (iii) with respect to either type of a Conversion Default, the date on which the Corporation prepays the Debentures held by such Holder pursuant to paragraph C of this Article V. B. Buy-In Cure. Unless the Corporation has notified the applicable Holder in writing prior to the delivery by such Holder of a Notice of Conversion that the Corporation is unable to honor conversions, if (i) (a) the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver during the Delivery Period shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon a conversion of the Debentures or (b) there shall occur a Legend Removal Failure (as defined in Article VII.A(iv) below) and (ii) thereafter, such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the unlegended shares of Common Stock (the "Sold Shares") which such Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Corporation shall pay such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to the Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the unlegended shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. For example, if a Holder purchases unlegended shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for $10,000, the Corporation will be required to pay the Holder $1,000. A Holder shall provide the Corporation written notification and supporting documentation indicating any amounts payable to such Holder pursuant to this Paragraph B. The Corporation shall make any payments required pursuant to this Paragraph B in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article IX.J. C. Right to Require Prepayment. If the Corporation fails, and such failure continues uncured for five (5) business days after the Corporation has been notified thereof in writing by the Holder, for any reason to issue shares of Common Stock within 10 business days after the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to any conversion of the Debentures, then the Holder may elect at any time and from time to time prior to the Default Cure Date for such Conversion Default, by delivery of a Default Notice (as defined in Article VII.C) to the Corporation, to have all or any portion of such Holder's outstanding Debentures prepaid by the Corporation for cash, at the Default Amount (as defined in Article VII.B). If the Corporation fails to pay such Default Amount within five business days after its receipt of a Default Notice, then such Holder shall be entitled to the remedies provided in Article VII.C. ARTICLE VI [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 10 ARTICLE VII EVENTS OF DEFAULT A. Events of Default. In the event (each of the events described in clauses (i)-(ix) below after expiration of the applicable cure period (if any) being an "Event of Default"): (i) the Corporation fails (i) to pay the principal hereof when due, whether at maturity, prepayment pursuant to Article I.B hereof, upon acceleration or otherwise or (ii) to pay any installment of interest hereon when due and such failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after the due date hereof;

(v) the Corporation provides notice to any Holder of the Debentures, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its intention not to issue, or otherwise refuses to issue, shares of Common Stock to any Holder of the Debentures upon conversion in accordance with the terms of the Debentures;

At any time and from time to time during such three trading day period, each Holder of the Debentures may request (either orally or in writing) information from the Corporation with respect to the instant default (including, but not limited to, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Debentures covered by Default Notices received by the Corporation) and the Corporation shall furnish (either orally or in writing) as soon as practicable such requested information to such requesting Holder. B. Definition of Default Amount. The "Default Amount" with respect to a Debenture means an amount equal to the greater of: (i) V x M ---------- C P and (ii) V x 115% where: "V" means the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures being paid plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the payment date; "CP" means the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which the Corporation receives the Default Notice; and "M" means (i) with respect to all repayments other than repayments pursuant to Article VII.A(vi) hereof, the highest Closing Bid Price of the Corporation's Common Stock during the period beginning on the date on which the Corporation receives the Default Notice and ending on the date immediately preceding the date of payment of the Default Amount and (ii) with respect to repayments pursuant to Article VII.A(vi) hereof, the greater of (a) the amount determined pursuant to clause (i) of this definition or (b) the fair market value, as of the date on which the Corporation receives the Default Notice, of the consideration payable to the holder of a share of Common Stock pursuant to the transaction which triggers the repayment obligation. For 13 purposes of this definition, "fair market value" shall be determined by the mutual agreement of the Corporation and Holders of a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, or if such agreement cannot be reached within five business days prior to the date of repayment, by an investment banking firm selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to Holders of a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Corporation. C. Failure to Pay Default Amounts. If the Corporation fails to pay any Holder the Default Amount with respect to any Debenture within five business days after its receipt of a notice requiring such repayment (a "Default Notice"), then the Holder of any Debenture delivering such Default Notice (i) shall be entitled to interest on the Default Amount at a per annum rate equal to the lower of twenty-four percent (24%) and the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law from the date on which the Corporation receives the Default Notice until the date of payment of the Default Amount hereunder, and (ii) shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to require the Corporation, upon written notice, to immediately convert (in accordance with the terms of Paragraph A of Article III) all or any portion of the Default Amount, plus interest as aforesaid, into shares of Common Stock at the lowest Conversion Price in effect during the period beginning on the date on which the Corporation receives the Default Notice and ending on the Conversion Date with respect to the conversion of such Default Amount. In the event the Corporation is not able to repay all of the outstanding Debentures subject to Default Notices delivered prior to the date upon which such repayment is to be effected, the Corporation shall repay the outstanding Debentures from each Holder pro rata, based on the total amounts due the Debentures at the time of repayment included by such Holder in all Default Notices delivered prior to the date upon which such repayment is to be effected relative to the total amounts due under the Debentures at the time of repayment included in all of the Default Notices delivered prior to the date upon which such repayment is to be effected. ARTICLE VIII ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE AND FIXED AMOUNTS The Conversion Price and Fixed Amounts shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: A. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If, at any time on or after the Issue Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event, each Fixed Amount shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, each Fixed Amount shall be proportionately increased. In such event, the Corporation shall notify the Corporation's transfer agent of such change on or before the effective date thereof. 14 B. Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time after the Issue Date, there shall be (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of 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, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or (iv) any share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property (each of (i) - (iv) above being a "Corporate Change"), then the Holders of the Debentures shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable, such shares of stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable in such Corporate Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been issuable upon conversion (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article III.C) had such Corporate Change not taken place, and in any such case, appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders of the Debentures to the end that the economic value of the Debentures are in no way diminished by such Corporate Change and that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is not the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of each Fixed Amount so that each Fixed Amount immediately after the Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to the value of the surviving entity's common stock that existed between such Fixed Amount and the value of the Corporation's Common Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Change and an immediate revision to the Variable Conversion Price so that it is determined as provided in Article II.H but based on the price of the common stock of the surviving entity and the market in which such common stock is traded) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the conversion thereof. The Corporation shall not effect any Corporate Change unless (i) each Holder of the Debentures has received written notice of such transaction at least 45 days prior thereto, but in no event later than 20 days prior to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote with respect thereto, and (ii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding) the obligations of the Debentures. The above provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures outstanding as of the date of such transaction, and shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges. C. Adjustment Due to Major Announcement. In the event the Corporation at any time after the Issue Date (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged) or to sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets 15 of the Corporation or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Corporation) publicly announces a tender offer, exchange offer or another transaction to purchase 50% or more of the Corporation's Common Stock or otherwise publicly announces an intention to replace a majority of the Corporation's Board of Directors by waging a proxy battle or otherwise (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this Paragraph C is hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement Date"), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the tenth trading day following the earlier of the consummation of the proposed transaction or tender offer, exchange offer or another transaction or the Abandonment Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for an Optional Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price determined in accordance with Article II.E on the Conversion Date set forth in the Notice of Conversion for the Optional Conversion. From and after the tenth trading day following the Abandonment Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in Article II.E. "Abandonment Date" means with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer, exchange offer or another transaction for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Paragraph C has been made, the date upon which the Corporation (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer, exchange offer or another transaction which caused this Paragraph C to become operative. D. Adjustment Due to Distribution. If, at any time after the Issue Date, the Corporation shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Corporation's shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e. a spin-off)) (a "Distribution"), then the Holders of the Debentures shall be entitled, upon any conversion of the Debentures after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article III.C) had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution. E. Issuance of Other Securities With Variable Conversion Price. If, at any time after the Issue Date, the Corporation shall issue any securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") at a conversion price or exchange rate which is more favorable to the holders of such Convertible Securities than the Conversion Price mechanism provided for herein, then such conversion price or exchange rate shall be applicable hereto. F. Purchase Rights. If, at any time after the Issue Date, the Corporation issues any Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the 16 Holders of the Debentures will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Debentures (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article III.C) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. G. Adjustment of Floor Price. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs A and B of this Article VIII, if, at any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Paragraph H hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of issuance (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Floor Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: F' = F x O + P/M ------------------ CSDO where: F' = the adjusted Floor Price; F = the then current Floor Price; M = the then current Market Price (as defined in Section 4(1)(ii) of the Warrant); O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance; P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Paragraph H hereof, received by the Corporation upon such Dilutive Issuance; and CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined in Section 4(l)(i) of the Warrant) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance. H. Effect on Floor Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Floor Price under Paragraph G hereof, the following will be applicable: (i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Corporation in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the 17 Market Price in effect on the date of issuance of such Options ("Below Market Options"), then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Below Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Floor Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below Market Options. (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. (A) If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange (as determined pursuant to Paragraph H(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the Market Price in effect on the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Floor Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (iii) If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible 18 Security"), then the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange" for purposes of the calculation contemplated by Paragraph H(ii)(A) shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable (assuming all holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in such Convertible Security have been satisfied) if the Market Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Security was 75% of the Market Price on such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price"). Further, if the Market Price at any time or times thereafter is less than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market Price last used for making any adjustment under this Article VIII with respect to any Variable Rate Convertible Security, the Floor Price in effect at such time shall be readjusted to equal the Floor Price which would have resulted if the Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance of the Variable Rate Convertible Security had been 75% of the Market Price existing at the time of the adjustment required by this sentence. (iv) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Floor Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Floor Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (v) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Floor Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Floor Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued. (vi) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Debenture will be the amount received by the Corporation therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, including, in the case of a strategic or similar arrangement in which the other entity will provide services to the Corporation, purchase services from the Corporation or otherwise provide intangible consideration to the Corporation, the 19 amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation (including the net present value of the contribution expected by the Corporation for the provided or purchased services) will be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The Corporation shall calculate, using standard commercial valuation methods appropriate for valuing such assets, the fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities; provided, however, that if the Holder does not agree to such fair market value calculation within three (3) business days after receipt thereof from the Corporation, then such fair market value will be determined in good faith by an investment banker or other appropriate expert of national reputation selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to the Holder hereof, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Corporation. (vii) Exceptions to Adjustment of Floor Price. No adjustment to the Floor Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities (other than those certain Secured Promissory Notes of a subsidiary of the Company dated April 15, 1998, in the aggregate original principal amount of $22,200,000) issued and outstanding on January 28, 1999 and set forth on Schedule 3(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan of the Corporation now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of any Debentures or Warrants in accordance with the terms of the last sentence of Section 4(e)(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement; (iv) upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants; (v) upon the issuance of any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities at any time prior to the 150th day after January 28, 1999 pursuant to a strategic transaction with that certain entity identified in the confidential letter from the Corporation's legal counsel to the Holder's legal counsel; or (vi) upon the issuance of any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities which are issued in connection with the Corporation's acquisitions of (A) Circumstance Design (Big Hand), (B) FS3 Interactive, (C) Hype or (D) Fire Engine Red. I. Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or Fixed Amounts pursuant to this Article VIII, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder of the Debentures a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder of the Debentures, furnish 20 to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price or Fixed Amounts at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of any Debenture. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS A. Failure or Indulgency Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. B. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Debenture shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed telecopy, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by courier or confirmed telecopy, in each case addressed to a party. The addresses for such communications shall be: If to the Corporation: ICC Technologies, Inc. 44 West 18th Street 6th Floor New York, NY 10011 Telecopy: (212) 271-9445 Attention: Glenn Meyers with a copy to: Richard P. Jaffe, Esquire Mesirov Gelman Jaffe Cramer & Jamieson LLP 1735 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19103 Telecopy: (215) 994-1111 If to the Holder, to the address set forth under such Holder's name on the signature page to the Securities Purchase Agreement executed by such Holder. Each party shall provide notice to the other parties of any change in address. 21 C. Amendment Provision. Except as set forth in Article III.C, this Debenture and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and all of the Holders. The term "Debenture" and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented. D. Assignability; Allocation of Reserved Amount. This Debenture shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Debentures, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferor's Reserved Amount. Each increase to the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders of Debentures based on the outstanding principal amount of Debentures held by each Holder at the time of the increase in the Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved Amount which remains allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Debentures shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Debentures, pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount of Debentures then held by such Holders. E. Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Debenture, the Corporation shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. F. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. The Corporation irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts and the state courts located in the State of Delaware in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Debenture and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such courts. The Corporation irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Corporation further agrees that service of process upon the Corporation mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Corporation in any such suit or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Corporation agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner. G. Denominations. At the request of Holder, upon surrender of this Debenture, the Corporation shall promptly issue new Debentures in the aggregate outstanding principal amount hereof, in the form hereof, in such denominations of at least $25,000 as Holder shall request. H. Lost or Stolen Debentures. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Debenture and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity (without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of any Debenture, the Corporation shall execute and deliver a new Debenture of like tenor and date. However, the 22 Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost or stolen Debenture if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Debenture. I. Quarterly Statements of Available Shares. For each calendar quarter beginning in the quarter in which the initial registration statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective and thereafter so long as any Debentures are outstanding, the Corporation shall deliver (or cause its transfer agent to deliver) to each Holder a written report notifying the Holders of any occurrence which prohibits the Corporation from issuing Common Stock upon any such conversion. The report shall also specify (i) the total outstanding principal amounts of Debentures as of the end of such quarter, (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued upon all conversions of Debentures prior to the end of such quarter, (iii) the total number of shares of Common Stock which are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures as of the end of such quarter and (iv) the total number of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be issued by the Corporation upon conversion of the Debentures before the Corporation would exceed the Reserved Amount. The Corporation (or its transfer agent) shall deliver the report for each quarter to each Holder prior to the tenth day of the calendar month following the quarter to which such report relates. In addition, the Corporation (or its transfer agent) shall provide, within 15 days after delivery to the Corporation of a written request by any Holder, any of the information enumerated in clauses (i) - (iv) of this Paragraph I as of the date of such request. Simultaneously with delivering such quarterly statements or responding to such written request, the Corporation shall issue a press release with substantially the same information. J. Payment of Cash; Defaults. Whenever the Corporation is required to make any cash payment to a Holder under the Debentures (whether a Default Amount or upon prepayment, repayment or otherwise), such cash payment shall be made to the Holder within five business days after delivery by such Holder of a notice specifying that the Holder elects to receive such payment in cash and the method (e.g., by check, wire transfer) in which such payment should be made. If such payment is not delivered within such five business day period, such Holder shall thereafter be entitled to interest on the unpaid amount at a per annum rate equal to the lower of twenty-four percent (24%) and the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full to the Holder. K. Restrictions on Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture may not be sold or transferred unless (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (ii) the Corporation shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in such circumstances) to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (iii) they are sold under Rule 144 under the Act. Except as otherwise provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture that have not been so registered and that have not been sold under an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate: 23 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNDER AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. Upon the request of a holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the Corporation shall remove the foregoing legend from the certificate and issue to such holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend, if (i) with such request, the Corporation shall have received either (A) an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in such circumstances, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such certificate, or (B) satisfactory representations from Holder that Holder is eligible to sell such security under Rule 144 or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such securities is in effect. Nothing in this Debenture shall (i) limit the Corporation's obligation under the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) affect in any way Holder's obligations to comply with applicable securities laws upon the resale of the securities referred to herein. L. Status as Debenture Holder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder of the Debentures, (i) the principal amount of the Debentures and the interest thereon covered thereby shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock as of the Conversion Date and (ii) the Holder's rights as a holder of such Debentures shall cease and terminate (but only with respect to that portion of the Debentures covered by such Notice of Conversion), excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of the Debentures. In situations where Article V.B is applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined on the date on which such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth business day after the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of Debentures for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Corporation within five business days after the expiration of such 10 business day period) the portion of the principal amount and interest thereon subject to such conversion shall be deemed outstanding under the Debentures and the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable, return the Debentures to the Holder. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and 24 remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive payments pursuant to Article V.C to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Article V.A) for the Corporation's failure to convert the Debentures. M. Obligation to Cure. If the Corporation is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder for any reason, the Corporation shall immediately notify the Holders of Debentures of such occurrence and shall take immediate action (including, if necessary, seeking the approval of its shareholders) to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Corporation or any of its securities on the Corporation's ability to issue shares of Common Stock. N. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Debenture. The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders of the Debentures and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.

Right to Purchase _________ Shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share Date: _____________ ICC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, CAPITAL VENTURES INTERNATIONAL, or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from ICC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Section 2 hereof, ___________________________________ (_________) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price per share (the "Exercise Price") equal to $5.27. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder (the "Warrant Shares") and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof and the Exercise Price is subject to reset as provided in Section 11 hereof. The term "Warrants" means this Warrant and the other warrants of the Company issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 28, 1999, by and among the Company and the other signatory thereto (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and conditions: 1. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitations contained in Section 7 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company by 11:59 p.m. New York time on any business day at the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof) and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the holder is permitted to effect a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 12(c) hereof) pursuant to Section 12(c) hereof, delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above or, if such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day. The Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding two business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised (the "Delivery Period"). If the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares so purchased to the holder by crediting the account of the holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DTC Transfer"). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the holder physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased. Further, the holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the holder physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer. Any certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof, shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder and, following the date on which the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 28, 1999, by and between the Company and the other signatory thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") or otherwise may be sold by the holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule), shall not bear any restrictive legend. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. If, at any time, a holder of this Warrant submits this Warrant, an Exercise Agreement and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for each of the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, and the Company fails for any reason to deliver, on or prior to the fourth business day following the expiration of the Delivery Period for such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon such exercise (an "Exercise Default"), then the Company shall pay to the holder payments ("Exercise Default 2 Payments") for an Exercise Default in the amount of (a) (N/365), multiplied by (b) the amount by which the Market Price (as defined in Section 4(l) hereof) on the date the Exercise Agreement giving rise to the Exercise Default is transmitted in accordance with this Section 1 (the "Exercise Default Date") exceeds the Exercise Price in respect of such Warrant Shares, multiplied by (c) the number of shares of Common Stock the Company failed to so deliver in such Exercise Default, multiplied by (d) .24, where N = the number of days from the Exercise Default Date to the date that the Company effects the full exercise of this Warrant which gave rise to the Exercise Default. The accrued Exercise Default Payment for each calendar month shall be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common Stock, at the holder's option, as follows: (a) In the event holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payment shall be made to holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued; and (b) In the event holder elects to take such payment in Common Stock, the holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock (in accordance with the terms contained in Article VII of the Debentures of the Company issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Debentures")) at the lower of the Exercise Price in respect of the Warrant Shares triggering the Exercise Default or the Market Price (as defined in Section 4(l)) (as in effect at the time of conversion) at any time after the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued. Nothing herein shall limit the holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms of Section 3(b) hereof or to otherwise issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, and the holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). 2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is immediately exercisable, at any time or from time to time on or after the date of initial issuance of this Warrant (the "Issue Date") and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on that date which is five (5) years after the Issue Date (the "Exercise Period"). 3. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances. (b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant (without giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 7(g) hereof). 3 (c) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or become listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system. (d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the economic benefit inuring to the holder hereof and the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the lowest Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. (e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. (f) Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall, on or before the date of issuance of any Warrant Shares, take such actions as the Company shall reasonably determine are necessary to qualify the Warrant Shares for, or obtain exemption for the Warrant Shares for, sale to the holder of this Warrant upon the exercise hereof under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the holder of this Warrant prior to such date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. 4. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, except as provided in Section 11(e) hereof, the Exercise Price (or Exercise Prices, in the event that the Exercise Price as to some Warrant Shares has been reset pursuant to Section 11 hereof) and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4. 4 In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price(s) as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price(s) shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent. (a) Adjustment of Exercise Price(s). Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever during the Exercise Period the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of issuance (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price(s) will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: E' = E x O + P/M ------------------ CSDO where: E' = the adjusted Exercise Price; E = the then current Exercise Price; M = the then current Market Price (as defined in Section 4(1)(ii)); O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance; P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Section 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance; and CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined in Section 4(l)(i)) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance. (b) Effect on Exercise Price(s) of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price(s) under Section 4(a) hereof, the following will be applicable: (i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price in effect on the date of issuance of such Options ("Below Market Options"), then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such 5 Below Market Options" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Below Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price(s) will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below Market Options. (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. (A) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange (as determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the Market Price in effect on the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price(s) will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (B) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible Security"), then the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange" for purposes of the calculation contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii)(A) shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable (assuming all holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in such Convertible Security have been satisfied) if the Market Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Security was 75% of the Market Price on such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price"). Further, if the Market 6 Price at any time or times thereafter is less than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market Price last used for making any adjustment under this Section 4 with respect to any Variable Rate Convertible Security, the Exercise Price(s) in effect at such time shall be readjusted to equal the Exercise Price(s) which would have resulted if the Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance of the Variable Rate Convertible Security had been 75% of the Market Price existing at the time of the adjustment required by this sentence. (iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price(s) in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price(s) which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price(s) then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price(s) which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued. (v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, including, in the case of a strategic or similar arrangement in which the other entity will provide services to the Company, purchase services from the Company or otherwise provide intangible consideration to the Company, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company (including the net present value of the contribution expected by the Company for the provided or purchased services) will be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, 7 Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The Company shall calculate, using standard commercial valuation methods appropriate for valuing such assets, the fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities; provided, however, that if the holder hereof does not agree to such fair market value calculation within three (3) business days after receipt thereof from the Company, then such fair market value will be determined in good faith by an investment banker or other appropriate expert of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder hereof, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Company. (vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price(s). No adjustment to the Exercise Price(s) will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities (other than those certain Secured Promissory Notes of a subsidiary of the Company, dated April 15, 1998, in the aggregate original principal amount of $22,200,000) issued and outstanding on January 28, 1999 and set forth on Schedule 3(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of any Debentures or Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement; (iv) upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants; (v) upon the issuance of any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities at any time prior to the 150th day after January 28, 1999 pursuant to a strategic transaction with that certain entity identified in the confidential letter from the Company's legal counsel to the holder's legal counsel; or (vi) upon the issuance of any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities which are issued in connection with the Company's acquisitions of (A) Circumstance Design (Big Hand), (B) FS3 Interactive, (C) Hype or (D) Fire Engine Red. (c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price(s) in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price(s) in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. (d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at each such Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number 8 of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. (e) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company at any time during the Exercise Period, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities, cash or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Warrant and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation, or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, the holder of the Warrant shall, at its option, have the right to receive, in connection with such transaction, cash consideration equal to the fair value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with customary valuation methodology used in the investment banking industry. (f) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company's shareholders of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time during the Exercise Period, then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the holder had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution. (g) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price(s), then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price(s) resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at each such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Company. (h) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of an Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at 9 the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price. (i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise. (j) Other Notices. In case at any time: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution (other than dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings consistent with the Company's past practices with respect to declaring dividends and making distributions) to the holders of the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the date or estimated date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable estimate thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to 10 receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's books are closed in respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall publicly disclose the substance of any notice delivered hereunder prior to delivery of such notice to the holder of this Warrant. (k) Certain Events. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided in Section 4(g) hereof, and the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price(s) and the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant at each such Exercise Price so that the rights of the holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event. (l) Certain Definitions. (i) "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) in the case of any adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Options, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options for which the adjustment is required (including any Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options), and (y) in the case of any adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is required, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any. (ii) "Market Price," as of any date, (i) means the average of the closing bid prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq") by Bloomberg Financial Markets ("Bloomberg") for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if Nasdaq is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the last reported bid prices as reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no bid price for such period, the last reported sales price as reported by Bloomberg for such period, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder, with the costs of the appraisal to be borne by the Company. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made hereunder. 11 (iii) "Common Stock," for purposes of this Section 4, includes the Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only Common Stock in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in Section 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or property provided for in such Section. 5. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant. 6. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 7. Transfer, Exchange, Redemption and Replacement of Warrant. (a) Restriction on Transfer.

Until due presentment for registration of transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder hereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the registration rights described in Section 8 hereof are assignable only in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. (b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 7(e) below, for new Warrants of like tenor of different denominations representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares (at the Exercise Price therefor) as shall be designated by the holder hereof at the time of such surrender. 12 (c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor. (d) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in this Section 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and all other expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall indemnify and reimburse the holder of this Warrant for all losses and damages arising as a result of or related to any breach of the terms of this Warrant, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by such holder in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder. (e) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant. (f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i) that the holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no such opinion, letter, or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. (g) Additional Restrictions on Exercise or Transfer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by a holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrants or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including the Debentures) subject to a limitation on 13 conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portion thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by such holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether and to what extent this Warrant shall be exercisable with respect to other securities owned by such holder shall be in the sole discretion of the holder and submission of this Warrant for full or partial exercise shall be deemed to be the holder's determination of whether and the extent to which this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation. No prior inability to exercise the Warrants pursuant to this Section shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (a) hereof. The restrictions contained in this Section 7(g) may not be amended without the consent of the holder of this Warrant and the holders of a majority of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock. 8. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of such registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to assign such rights to certain assignees, as set forth therein. 9. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed telecopy, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by courier, or by confirmed telecopy, in each case addressed to a party. The addresses for such communications shall be: If to the Company: ICC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 44 West 18th Street 6th Floor New York, NY 10011 Telecopy: (212) 271-9445 Attn: Glenn Meyers If to the holder, at such address as such holder shall have provided in writing to the Company, or at such other address as such holder furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section 9. 14 10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts and state courts located in the State of Delaware in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Warrant and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such courts. The Company irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees that service of process upon the Company mailed by certified or registered mail shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the holder's right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner. 11. Exercise Price Resets. (a) Upon Reset of Fixed Conversion Price of Debentures. In the event that the Fixed Conversion Price of the Debentures is reset on the First Variable Conversion Date to the product of 105% multiplied by the Market Price in effect on the First Variable Conversion Date, then the Exercise Price with respect to all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be reset (but in no event increased) to also equal such product (the "Fixed Conversion Price Reset"). (b) Upon Prepayment of Debentures. In the event that the Company delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice to the holder of this Warrant as to some or all of the Debentures held by such holder, then the Exercise Price as to a number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall automatically be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Market Price in effect on the date of delivery of the Optional Prepayment Notice (the "Prepayment Reset"). The number of Warrant Shares as to which the Prepayment Reset shall apply shall equal the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the Issue Date, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Debentures subject to prepayment pursuant to the Optional Prepayment Notice and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Debentures purchased by such holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Each Prepayment Reset pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall reset the Exercise Price as to the Warrant Shares having the highest Exercise Price at the time such reset occurs. (c) Upon Conversion of Debenture at Floor Price. In the event that the holder of this Warrant converts any of such holder's Debentures at a Conversion Price equal to the Floor Price, then the Exercise Price as to a number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall automatically be reduced to $.01 (the "Floor Price Reset"). The number of Warrant Shares as to which the Floor Price Reset shall apply shall equal the amount by which (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Conversion Amount in respect of such Debenture conversion by (B) the 15 Conversion Price which would have been in effect in respect of such Debenture conversion had the Conversion Price been equal to the Variable Conversion Price and not the Floor Price, exceeds (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock actually issuable in respect of such Debenture conversion in accordance with the terms of the Debentures. Each Floor Price Reset pursuant to this Section 11(c) shall reset the Exercise Price as to the Warrant Shares having the highest Exercise Price at the time such reset occurs. (d) Notices, etc. Upon the occurrence of each Fixed Conversion Price Reset, Prepayment Reset and Floor Price Reset, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares as to which the reset applies and the prior and reset Exercise Prices therefor, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Company. (e) Further Adjustments. The Exercise Price in effect after a Fixed Conversion Price Reset and Prepayment Reset, but not after a Floor Price Reset, shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof. (f) Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used in this Section 11, but not defined in this Warrant shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Debentures. 12. Miscellaneous. (a) Amendments. Except as provided in Section 7(g) hereof, this Warrant and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holder hereof. (b) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. (c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, this Warrant may be exercised at any time after the first anniversary of the Issue Date until the end of the Exercise Period, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written notice of the holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock on the date of exercise (as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, 16 or if not so reported, as reported on the principle United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded) and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be such last reported sale price per share of Common Stock. (d) Business Day. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "business day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

EXHIBIT C to Securities Purchase Agreement REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of January 28, 1999, by and among ICC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), and the undersigned (together with affiliates, the "Initial Investor"). WHEREAS: A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and between the Company and the Initial Investor (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, to issue and sell to the Initial Investor (i) convertible debentures ("Debentures") in the aggregate principal amount of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000), which are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire an aggregate of 639,642 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Debentures are referred to herein as the "Conversion Shares" and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants are referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares." B. To induce the Initial Investor to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Initial Investor, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS. a. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Investors" means the Initial Investor and any transferees or assignees who agree to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof. (ii) "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). (iii) "Registrable Securities" means (i) the Conversion Shares, (ii) the Warrant Shares and (iii) any shares of capital stock issued or issuable, from time to time (with any adjustments), as a distribution on or in exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing, whether as default payments or otherwise. (iv) "Registration Statement" means one or more registration statements of the Company under the Securities Act registering all of the Registrable Securities. b. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 2. REGISTRATION. a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), on or prior to the date (the "Filing Date") which is twenty (20) days after the Issue Date (as defined in the Debentures) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of all of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Initial Investor) covering the resale of at least 3,874,365 Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the Rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall be allocated to the Investors as set forth in Section 11(k) hereof. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and subject to the review by) the Initial Investor and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission. b. Underwritten Offering. If any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten offering, the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities subject to such underwritten offering, with the consent of the -2- Initial Investor, shall have the right to select one legal counsel to represent the Investors and an investment banker or bankers and manager or managers to administer the offering, which investment banker or bankers or manager or managers shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. In the event that any Investors elect not to participate in such underwritten offering, the Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities shall contain appropriate plans of distribution reasonably satisfactory to the Investors participating in such underwritten offering and the Investors electing not to participate in such underwritten offering (including, without limitation, the ability of nonparticipating Investors to sell from time to time and at any time during the effectiveness of such Registration Statement). c. Payments by the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof to become effective as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day after the Issue Date (the "Registration Deadline"). If (i) the Registration Statement(s) covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not filed with the SEC by the Filing Date or declared effective by the SEC on or before the Registration Deadline or if, after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales of all the Registrable Securities (including any Registrable Securities required to be registered pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof) cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (by reason of a stop order or the Company's failure to update the Registration Statement or any other reason outside the control of the Investors) or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market (the "Small Cap"), the Nasdaq National Market (the "NNM"), the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") at any time after the Registration Deadline, then the Company will make payments to the Investors in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section 2(c) as partial relief for the damages to the Investors by reason of any such delay in or reduction of their ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity). The Company shall pay to each Investor an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures held by such Investor (including, without limitation, Debentures that have been converted into Conversion Shares then held by such Investor) (the "Aggregate Principal Amount"), multiplied by (ii) one and one-half percent (1.5%), multiplied by (iii) the sum of (x) the number of months (pro rated for partial months) after the Filing Date and prior to the date the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is filed with the SEC, plus (y) the number of months (pro rated for partial months) after the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the Issue Date and prior to the date the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is declared effective by the SEC, plus (z) the number of additional months (prorated for partial months) that sales of any Registrable Securities cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement after the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the NNM, the NYSE or AMEX; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from each such period any delays which are solely attributable to changes (other than corrections of Company mistakes with respect to information previously provided by the Investors) required by the Investors in the Registration Statement with respect to information relating to the Investors, including, without limitation, changes to the plan of -3- distribution. For example, if the Registration Statement is not effective by the Registration Deadline, the Company would pay $15,000 per month (commencing on the 120th day after the Issue Date) for each $1,000,000 of Aggregate Principal Amount until the Registration Statement becomes effective. Such amounts shall be paid in cash or, at each Investor's option, may be convertible into Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures). Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such amounts shall be Registrable Securities. If the Investor desires to convert the amounts due hereunder into Registrable Securities, it shall so notify the Company in writing within two (2) business days of the date on which such amounts are first payable in cash and such amounts shall be so convertible (pursuant to the mechanics set forth under Article III of the Debentures), beginning on the last day upon which the cash amount would otherwise be due in accordance with the following sentence. Payments of cash pursuant hereto shall be made within five (5) days after the end of each period that gives rise to such obligation, provided that, if any such period extends for more than thirty (30) days, interim payments shall be made for each such thirty (30) day period. d. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans) and the Company is not prohibited from including such Registrable Securities on such Registration Statement, the Company shall send to each Investor who is entitled to registration rights under this Section 2(d) written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investors seeking to include Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Investors; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, however, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights (except to the extent any existing agreements otherwise provide). No right to registration of Registrable -4- Securities under this Section 2(d) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to registration under this Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. e. Eligibility for Form S-3. The Company represents and warrants that it meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for registration of the sale by the Initial Investor and any other Investor of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form S-3. 3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following obligations: a. The Company shall prepare promptly and file with the SEC the Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) as soon as practicable after the Issue Date (but in no event later than the Filing Date), and cause such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Registration Deadline), and keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities (in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Initial Investor) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (the "Registration Period"), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein and all documents incorporated by reference therein) (i) shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and (ii) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein will comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed on summary statements and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to immaterial year-end adjustments). -5- b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is, for any three (3) consecutive trading days (the last of such three (3) trading days being the "Registration Trigger Date"), insufficient to cover one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (without giving effect to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained in Article III.C of the Debentures or Section 7(g) of the Warrants), the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover one hundred thirty-five percent (135%) of the Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained in Article III.C of the Debentures or Section 7(g) of the Warrants) as of the Registration Trigger Date, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the Registration Trigger Date (based on the market price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely). The Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. In the event the Company fails to obtain the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement within sixty (60) days after a Registration Trigger Date, each Investor shall thereafter have the option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by delivery of a written notice to the Company (a "Repurchase Notice"), to require the Company to purchase for cash, at an amount per share equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article VII of the Debentures), a portion of the Investor's Debentures such that the total number of Registrable Securities included on the Registration Statement for resale by such Investor exceeds 105% of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of such Investor's Debentures and exercise of such Investor's Warrants (without giving effect to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained in Article III.C of the Debentures or Section 7(g) of the Warrants). If the Company fails to purchase any of such Debentures within five (5) business days after its receipt of a Repurchase Notice, then such Investor shall be entitled to the remedies provided in Article VII.C of the Debentures. c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC (including, without limitation, any request to accelerate the effectiveness -6- of any Registration Statement or amendment thereto), and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion, if any, thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), (ii) on the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, a notice stating that the Registration Statement or amendment has been declared effective, and (iii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor. d. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being offered reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (a) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (b) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings that cause the Company undue expense or burden, or (e) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. e. In the event the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being offered in an offering select underwriters for the offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriters of such offering. f. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Investor by telephone and facsimile of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request. -7- g. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable moment (including in each case by amending or supplementing such Registration Statement) and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof (and if such Registration Statement is supplemented or amended, deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request). h. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Initial Investor to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects. i. The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement. j. At the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish, on the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, from counsel representing the Company addressed to the Investors and in form, scope and substances as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering and (ii) in the case of an underwriting, a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and the Investors. k. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Investor, (ii) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement, (iii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors, and (iv) one firm of attorneys retained by all such underwriters (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector to enable each Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company -8- shall not be required to disclose any confidential information in such Records to any Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have entered into confidentiality agreements (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 3(k). Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. l. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement, or (v) such Investor consents to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information. m. The Company shall use its best efforts to promptly either (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on the NYSE or the AMEX or another national securities exchange and on each additional national securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure the designation and quotation, of all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the NNM or the Small Cap and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for or maintain at least two market makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. n. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement. o. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates -9- to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investors may request, and, within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) an opinion of such counsel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. p. At the request of any Investor, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement. q. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including without limitation the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC). r. The Company shall take all such other actions as any Investor or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. s. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their securities in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations: a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from each such Investor. -10- b. Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement. c. In the event Investors holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being offered determine to engage the services of an underwriter, each Investor agrees to enter into and perform such Investor's obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriter(s) of such offering and the Company and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election not to participate in such underwritten distribution. d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or 3(g), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or 3(g) and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and Warrants in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to receipt of such notice and for which such Investor has not yet settled. e. No Investor may participate in any underwritten distribution hereunder unless such Investor (i) agrees to sell such Investor's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered into by the Company, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and any expenses in excess of those payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5 below. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4(e) to the contrary, this Section 4(e) is not intended to limit an Investor's rights under Section 2(a) or 3(b) hereof. -11- 5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses incurred by the Company or the Investors in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 above, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the fees and disbursements of one counsel selected by the Investors, and underwriting discounts and commissions shall be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay all of the Investors' costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Investors hereunder. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement: a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, members, employees and agents of such Investor and each person who controls any Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), if any, (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(c) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Investors and each other Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to -12- the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9. b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, its employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and subject to Section 6(c) such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Agreement (including this Section 6(b) and Section 7) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the Indemnified Party failed to utilize such corrected prospectus. -13- c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party and any such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party which are in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates (with the approval of the Initial Investor if it holds Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement), if the Investor is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or by the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. 7. CONTRIBUTION. -14- To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution (together with any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities. 8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to: a. file with the SEC in a timely manner and make and keep available all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing and availability of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and b. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Debentures, Warrants or Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. -15- 9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights of the Investors hereunder, including the right to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of the Debentures, the Warrants or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures or the Warrants, the Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) may be pledged, and all rights of the Investors under this Agreement or any other agreement or document related to the transaction contemplated hereby may be assigned, without further consent of the Company, to a bona fide pledgee in connection with an Investor's margin or brokerage accounts. 10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company, the Initial Investor (to the extent the Initial Investor still owns Debentures, Warrants or Registrable Securities) and Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities or, in the case of a waiver, with the written consent of the party charged with the enforcement of any such provision. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. a. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed telecopy, and shall be effective five (5) days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by courier or confirmed telecopy, in each case addressed to a party. The addresses for such communications shall be: -16- If to the Company: ICC Technologies, Inc. 44 West 18th Street, 6th Floor New York, NY 10011 Telecopy: (212) 271-9445 Attention: Glenn Meyers with a copy to: Richard P. Jaffe, Esquire Mesirov Gelman Jaffe Cramer & Jamieson LLP 1735 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19103 Telecopy: (215) 994-1111 If to an Investor, at such address as such Investor shall have provided in writing to the Company or such other address as such Investor furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section 11(b). c. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. d. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts and state courts located in the State of Delaware in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such courts. The Company irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees that service of process upon the Company mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect an Investor's right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner. e. This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants (including all schedules and exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures -17- and the Warrants supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. f. Subject to the requirements of Section 9 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. g. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. h. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement. i. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. j. All consents, approvals and other determinations to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Investors holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities (determined as if all Debentures and Warrants then outstanding had been converted into or exercised for Registrable Securities) then held by all Investors. k. The initial number of Registrable Securities included on any Registration Statement and each increase to the number of Registrable Securities included thereon shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time of such establishment or increase, as the case may be. In the event an Investor shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of Registrable Securities included on a Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included on a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Registrable Securities shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of Registrable Securities held by an Investor shall be determined as if all Debentures and Warrants then outstanding and held by an Investor were converted into or exercised for Registrable Securities. l. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "business day" means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. -18- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
