FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MICROVISION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” ), hereby promises to pay to the order of                  or its registered assigns ( “Holder” ) the amount set out above as the Principal (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal” ) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), on any Installment Date with respect to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date (each, as defined herein), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest ( “Interest” ) on any outstanding Principal at the Interest Rate, subject to periodic adjustment pursuant to Section 2, from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date” ) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), any Installment Date or the Maturity Date (each, as defined herein), acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Amended and Restated Senior Secured


Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note” ) is one of an issue of Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Master Amendment Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Notes” and such other Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes” ). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 31.

 

(1) PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL . On each Installment Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date in accordance with Section 10. If any Principal remains outstanding on the Maturity Date (as defined herein), then the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal to any outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest. The “Maturity Date” shall be March 15, 2007, as extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 5(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing or any event shall have occurred and be continuing and that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that is ten (10) days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date.

 

(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE . Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears for each Interest Period on the last day of the applicable Interest Period during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (even if the Maturity Date is not the last day of an Interest Period) (each, an “Interest Date” ) with the first Interest Date being June 15, 2005. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date in cash (“ Cash Interest ”) or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Company Common Stock (“ Interest Shares ”) or a combination thereof, provided that the Interest which accrued during any period may be payable in Interest Shares if, and only if, the Company delivers written notice (each an “ Interest Election Notice ”) of such election to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the twentieth (20 th ) Company Trading Day prior to the Interest Date (each, an “ Interest Election Date ”). Each Interest Notice must specify the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest, if any, and the amount of Interest that shall be paid in Interest Shares. Interest to be paid on an Interest Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance with Section 3(a)) of Company Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Date less any Cash Interest paid and (b) the Interest Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Interest Date. If any Interest Shares are to be paid on an Interest Date, then the Company shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, and such action is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC, credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date, to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay Interest in Interest Shares and shall be required to pay such Interest in cash as Cash Interest on the applicable Interest Date if, unless consented to in writing by the Holder, during the period commencing on the applicable Interest Election Date through the applicable Interest Date the Equity Conditions have not been satisfied. Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount (as defined below) in accordance with Section 3(b)(i). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to Sections 5(a)(i)), the Interest Rate shall be increased to fifteen percent (15%). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Interest Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of Interest Shares to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Interest Shares.

(a) Conversion Right . Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount in multiples of $10,000 (or, if less, any remaining Conversion Amount) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Company Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Company Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Company Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Company Common Stock to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Company Common Stock issued upon conversion.

 

(b) Conversion Rate . The number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the “Conversion Rate” ).

(iii) “ Fixed Conversion Price ” means $5.85, subject to adjustment as provided herein (also referred to as the “ Initial Fixed Conversion Price ”).

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion .

 

(i) Optional Conversion . To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Company Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date” ), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice” ) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the first (1 st ) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent. On or before the second (2 nd ) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date” ), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such action is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC, credit such aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after receipt of this Note (the “Note Delivery Date” ) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 21(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note

 

4


shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Company Common Stock on the Conversion Date to the extent permitted by applicable law. In the event of a conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a), the Principal amount of the Note subject to such conversion shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) relating to the Installment Date(s) as set forth in the Conversion Notice.

 

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert . If the Company shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure” ), then (A) the Company shall pay damages in cash to the Holder for each date of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Company Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Company Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. At the Holder’s option in lieu of the foregoing, if within three (3) Company Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Company Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Company Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Company Common Stock Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Company Common Stock so purchased (the “Company Common Stock Buy-In Price” ), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Company Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Company Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Company Common Stock Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Company Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

 

(iii) Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a

 

5


Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

 

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes . In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Company Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 26.

 

(d) Limitations on Conversions.

 

(i) Beneficial Ownership . Other than in connection with a Mandatory Conversion (as defined below), the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 3(a), Section 10 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Company Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ 1934 Act ”). For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Company Common Stock

 

6


outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock was reported.

 

(ii) Principal Market Regulation . The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, whether pursuant to this Section 3, Section 10 or otherwise, if the issuance of such shares of Company Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise as applicable of the Notes, Warrants and Amendment Warrants or as Interest Shares without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Exchange Cap” ), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market for issuances of Company Common Stock in excess of such amount, regardless of whether or not the shares of Company Common Stock are then listed on the applicable market or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of the Notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchasers” ) shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of Notes, Warrants or Amendment Warrants held by such Purchaser, shares of Company Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation” ). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a number of shares of Company Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Company Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder.

Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company Common Stock (or other

 

10


securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

 

(b) Holder Redemption Right . No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “ Change of Control Notice ”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) days after the consummation of such Change of Control), the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“ Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice ”) to the Company, which Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Company Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 125% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “ Holder Change of Control Redemption Price ”).
